Nachos are a staple, as are their tortillas and tamales. There was a time where their tamales were sketchy (with clumps of dried masa), but they seem to have fixed that problem. -1 star for their wait. I've found myself trying to coordinate this stop with errands nearby so I don't have to wait 20-30 minutes for a plate to be put together. For the most part, they're good with their customer service and pretty welcoming. read more

Been eating here since I moved to Indio 30 years ago service is outstanding they even have shredded chicken now thank you very much can't wait to eat here again been missing my tamale boat read more

Best, absolute best tamales in Coachella Valley Make sure you buy their salsa too! We always buy a dozen Tamales (pork) You will not be disappointed! read more

*Tortillas chips are good *salsa is good *nacho cheese is good *red meat good *prices above from what I think is worth to pay for salsa and cheese. The great thing about this place is that is one or the first tortillería in the Southern California and still in business since 1960's I think, maybe even longer and they have kept their recipe the same way through our generations and more importantly their flavor. I need to try more of their dishes since I always order tortilla chips salsa nacho cheese and red meat. * Las papas de tortilla están buenas * la salsa es buena * el queso nacho es bueno *carne roja está rica * Precios están por encima de lo vale pagar por la salsa y el queso. Lo bueno de este lugar es que es una o la primera tortillería en el sur de California y todavía está en el negocio desde la década de 1960, creo, tal vez incluso más y han mantenido su receta de la misma manera a través de sus generaciones, lo que es más importante, su sabor. Necesito probar más de sus platos ya que siempre pido papas de tortilla, salsa, nacho, queso y carnes rojas. read more

Nice lady helped me with my order. I ordered to go with all sauces on the side. I thought they wound skimp on sides as some restaurants are known to do. Nope‼ I was given generous portions. I enjoyed the Chile Colorado very tasty. Next visit I will try the chili verde I'm hoping it's just as tasty .. thank you read more

This is one of my favorite go to spots, coming here for years. This place is as no frills as you can get. There is no dining on site. Everything is prepared to go. Arriola's is known for their Tamales... and masa preparada. Which means prepared masa that is used for making tamales, they also sell prepared Chile paste. I have not been able to find a place in the San Jose area that does. Their tamale boats are popular, I go for the super nachos and burritos. Their Chile Colorado is excellent. Arriola's salsa is unique, they put oregano in it. This gives it a flavor that makes it stand out against your traditional salsas read more

This place is a hidden gem! Never fails food is always fresh and delicious. Great customer service!!

Outstanding great service. Outstanding food, best tamales in the valley. Get a tamale boat you won't regret it.

Been going here for years, it's a local gem. Their nachos with meat is amazing, so is their tamale boat. Their tamales in general are amazing. I haven't tried their meals or breakfast yet but I will, I'm sure it will be amazing, everything is so far. read more

I have really only bought the nachos here since I was a little girl and never tried anything else since I don't eat beef or pork but what they do, they do extremely well. Menu is small, inside the building is small and during Covid you will likely have to wait outside if there is already a couple of people in there but it's worth the wait for the food and to support a small family owned business. read more

Ordered Flour Tortillas and Chile Colorado Burrito. Tortillas were just ok, Chile Colorado had no flavor. Glad I didn't spend on tamales. No chile or flavorings at all. Was so looking forward too! :( read more

Great tamales. Homemade tortillas. Lovely thin salsa with Mexican oregano flavor. Take out only. I would have not tried it but was given a recommendation to go there. read more

This is a long time family restaurant. It's always been good everything there is awesome never have had any complaints.

BEST SALSA IN TOWN!! If your in the area this is a must! Family owned and operated one of my favorite spots for a quick chips and salsa fix!

Staple in Indio. The Nachos are awesome. You would expect much by the location Arriolas never fails to Please.

Thus place was recommended to me by someone who used to go there years ago. It was just ok. I ordered the tamale boat and the burrito boat. Zero salt. Pretty bland. The tamales themselves were decent. There is no seating so they packed it to go. Not even salsa or hot sauce on the bag. The meat was tender. But that doesn't mean anything if it doesn't taste like anything. Sorry. read more

I have been going to Arriola's since I was a kid This is a great family owned place, that has some of the best food in town, only bad thing is that everything is to go. read more

8 minute drive from arreolas to home and the tamales were cold, had to put them in microwave, disappointed !!

Very good food. Wish they would have a bigger building. On Christmas there is very long lines waiting to get in.

Always an incredible experience at Arriola's!! Family run and been in the valley longer than I can remember. Stop in, you won't regret it! Always a go to when I'm craving some nachos! You get treated like family as soon as you walk in. Place is always clean and well organized. read more

Arriola's Tortilleria - Delicious new plate chicharrón verde for breakfast yum - Mexican Near Me - Indio, California

My family and I have been coming to this place since at least the 70s. They make all of their chips, salsa, and tamales fresh in the building. Their salsa is the best, the longer it sits the hotter it gets. This place will always be a must-stop when I come back home. I highly recommend getting their chips and salsa. They also have some nachos with chile verde, which were yummy. The single serve chips and salsa is good in the styrofoam container, however I really miss having them served in the small paper bag. It was so nice to get that small paper bag with all the salsa poured on top and work your way through the bag, trying to keep your hands clean on the way down. I know this way is much cleaner, but for some reason I do miss the nostalgia of that bag. I will definitely return in the next couple of days, and again on my next trip to the desert. It may be a small hole in the wall place, but it is the best!! FYI, no seating inside, it literally is a counter and a couple of coolers. However, just know everything is freshly made there and it is definitely worth the journey. read more

Spent Christmas with my sisters in Palm Springs. Craving some tamales we happen to stumble upon Arriola's. Went there and ordered 3 dozen tamales. They were still making tamales as we ordered so we had to come back to pick them up in about an hour. I'm the meantime ordered some breakfast burritos, breakfast quesadillas and tamale boat. Everything was amazing but the tamale boat was out of this world. The chili Colorado on the tamale boat was the best I've ever had. Would definitely recommend and wish I lived closer to Palm Springs. read more

I must stop here every time I am in town visiting family. Large nachos with chile Colorado and a chile verde burrito to go. The food here is delicious every time and never changes. read more

OMG! What happened! they changed the original delicious chips, original recipe. They are now serving "Cardenas" chips. That is truly too bad. They are thin chips. read more

This spot is so good. We have visited a few times for lunch and once for breakfast. I recommend the chili colorado burrito or the combo burrito which includes beans and meat in the burrito. Both green and red are tasty but I'm partial to the red at this place. They have an affordable lunch special which includes a "mini" burrito + nachos. The nachos are simple but tasty - queso, chips and red salsa but tasty. You could easily get full off of just the mini burrito. They do get a little busy during lunch time but we haven't experienced more than a 5-10 minute wait for food. There is no place to sit down. If you're in Indio, I highly recommend visiting! read more

Best nachos in the valley! Also, love their burrito specials: two burritos and small nachos.

A top! Buy chips fresh without Sala and all added onto it so it won't get soggy when you get home. Everything separate.

Always great food. If you're ever serving jury duty, take a stroll on your lunch break to this place. DELISH!!! Whatever you get will be a hit! Nachos and tamale boat is highly recommended! Enjoy!! read more

Nice little place. Came for the fresh tortillas. They only make them fresh on Mondays and Thursday. The tamales and salsa looks good so I had to order read more

This is a super hole in the wall spot. We were hoping that was a good thing. We went about 30 mins before closing on a Friday night. I came out for the weekend for a softball tourney. Saw the reviews and figured I'd give it a try. I did like the fact that t was pretty clean. Their menus were pretty much made on a home computer. Like I said, very low maintenance. I ordered small nachos and a green (pork) burrito. The nachos consisted of super thick chips, nacho cheese, red sauce and barbacoa. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. The burrito was just put together badly. The tortilla was very thick, it was SOGGY on the bottom and just a mess when I unwrapped it. Seriously, just ridiculous. We know when we try new spots it's either a hot or a miss.... This one we took as a miss. Not horrible, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

My family really enjoys their cooked meat. We like to use it on home nachos and tamales . Not the friendliest service but good food .

A local staple this eatery is a must when visiting the Coachella Valley. Their food is fresh, made in-house and authentic. Literally just like a warm embrace from your abuelita but for your stomach. Nachos and tamales are a must. read more

Absolutely delicious flavor. Ordered the tamale boat which comes with two tamales and and big nieces of marinated pork on top and delicious homemade nacho cheese sauce. $7.00 My only complaint is that the pork had a lot of fat on it and I had to eat around it a bit. Otherwise so delish & I'll be back to try the nachos & bread pudding read more

Great Chips and Salsa!!! I grew up in the Coachella valley and this place was always a must stop for the extra thick chips.... Perfect for making nachos!!!!

When I get back to the area I usually buy a few pounds of chips and take back to my house... I have been going to this place for the past 20+ years!!! read more
