Best nachos. The chips here are different from your usual Mexican taco place. These are not from a bag that you can buy anywhere. These look like the chips are fried in house. You can also get these nachos with your choice of meat. I strongly recommend the asada. They will give you salsa and pickled jalapeños with giant carrots and onions on the side. The pickled carrots and onions look like they are also pickled in-house. It's just perfect. Today I tried the flauta plate. The flautas were okay. The plate comes with rice and beans. The flautas come on a bed of lettuce and topped with guacamole. I like my flautas with lettuce, sour cream and salsa, so I purchased some sour cream for $.75. I shared the plate with my daughter. I'm not sure that I'll order again. The tacos are always good and I think it's their most popular item on the menu. read more

The food here is good. The carne asada can be gristly at times but it's still good. There's better Mexican food out there but this is good for a fast meal read more

First time visiting this location, I ordered a burrito for a decent price. The burrito was pretty big. Also shout out to the workers at night. Gave me a free horchata cause it was my first time here. Def coming back for more food. read more

Been coming here since when i was little, food taste the same. Dude at night gave me the best simple service. I asked for extra sauce, dude gave me some without even charging me extra. Reason why i keep coming back. Reminds me of the early 90s. read more

First time trying this place out and the last time I will. What an outdated place ONLY CASH??? Literally NO debit/credit accepted...like it's 2024 get with the program and get a card machine. The guy at the window definitely needs to work on his customer service and the place definitely needs some fresh paint, outdoor cleaning and a updated menu with prices. I've had better Asada nachos than this place. Don't be fooled they add literally just a scoop of Asada at the top and dump a whole lotta cheese and chips. So stingy with the meat portion like I paid for Asada nachos not just a bunch of canned cheese with chips. If you want Asada nachos you're better off going somewhere else like KT or elsewhere. What's even worst is they charge for sour cream like how money hungry can an establishment be smh. For $13 you get a scoop of meat and a load of cheese/chips you've been warned. read more

Made the mistake of coming back after they served me expired meat on my nachos. Not to mention they are stingy with meat portions. I really wanted it to be good but sadly this place isn't what it used to be. If I can give 0 stars I would read more

Went to grab some carne asada fries and gave me expired meat really messed up my stomach almost went to the hospital got food poisoning

Good at most things, this place will hit the spot and spare your wallet. The food is bomb if you're going big, and leaves little if you're trying to get the lowest priced items. The staff is nice and the restaurant is clean. read more

I grew up down the street from this place and I've ALWAYS enjoyed their food! I've moved away after high school but I always make It a point to swing by if I'm even a little close by. The steak tacos are THE best and I always order about 8 of them. As a proud Mexican, this place gets my seal of approval. Bright yellow building with outdoor bench seating. Service could be faster but they've always been kind. Bring cash. Give this place a chance. read more

I bought some asada fries with cabeza and the meat was moldy I had to go to the hospital don't go to this place

Hands down a hidden gem. I hadn't come to this place in over 5 years but it taste exactly as it did all that time ago. The flavor is unmatched! My go to is the wet burrito with green salsa that packs HEAT carne asada inside with rice and pinto beans is the perfect trifecta. As mentioned the salsa verde has flavor and heat is not for those who don't do well with spicy. The burrito is definitely in my top 5. Always add the guac and lettuce for a nice touch. It is CASH ONLY!! Reminder for those who feel a spur of the moment burrito binge bring cash!! It doesn't look like much on the outside but Indio Azteca will blow you away. read more

There's a reason this place is still up and running throughout all of these years. I've always came here since I was a kid and the food still tastes amazing till this day and the customer service is great. The food may be a little pricey but the food is definitely worth it once you try it. The tacos & burritos (regular and wet) are definitely my top pics but nothing beats the carne asada nachos. The only thing that does seem upsetting about this place is that they only accept cash. But other than that, this place is definitely a place to try out if you haven't given it a chance. read more

Tacos are good than king tacos if uk uk:) Why? U may ask The tortilla isn't as dry Tacos are just good Burritos will fill your whole stomach up It's just that good read more

Sometimes the best food comes from these kinda rundown looking places. In this AZ case,even the chicken was great and it was white meat, which was very unusual. The cashier (,mom,) spoke no spanish, but the cook said the chicken is cooked in a sauce with onions and peppers. That chicken, plus rice and whole pinto beans and cilantro etc made for a memorable burrito. I added a 75 cents side of guacamole which was a perfect compliment to the chicken. Eat outside to get the full experience. read more

If you like beans and rice no meat burrito this is your place $8.00 Plus I went back to get more salsa and they said I had to order again..I explained I'd pay for the extra salsa and carrots and they said I had to make another order.. I've been a customer even before these new tight ass owners.. I'll never go back... don't waste your time here go 2 blocks down to King Taco.. Plus it's always dirty there.. read more

So this sis a neighborhood spot that taste better after clubs or 2:00 am in the morning. But if you're coming here for sure you must get the Gordita and the carne asada nachos . While the food is simple it's more about just eating something good vs. delicious. It's no 5 star establishment and the service is non existent but I give them 3 stars for good food read more

Still the best place for nachos! Simple and straight to the point with crispy freshly made tortilla chips, finely cooked and chopped meat, and plenty of nacho cheese. I always dice the pickled jalapeños and carrots and throw it on top along with the red salsa to boost the flavors. Burritos are also good and served in a generous size. Glad this place continues to be around and opened til late. read more

Had some of their tacos.... Their salsa didn't compliment anything. The meat wasn't over cooked or old. No mi gusta. Maybe their other plates carry. Not their tacos though. The tortillas were like barely heated. read more

El Indio Azteca - tacos with a bunch of onion but no cilantro - Mexican Near Me - Maywood, California

I was introduced to this place by a friend and have yet not been disappointed. It's a simple place that offers some decent food. Of course there's better out there but I have high regards about this place from my experiences here. Wish they had more salsas to choose from. Point is, if you're hungry you're gonna enjoy it. I would stick to the tacos though. People end up all disappointed when they start trying other things they don't know about. read more

El Indio Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Maywood, California

I've been coming to this spot since 2004 when I was still a student at St. Rose of Lima. Even when my family ended up moving an hour away from the area in 2009 we always made the effort to stop by every once in a while because we've never had tacos/burritos as good as this place. Now, as an adult who happened to move back to LA I find myself coming here from time to time when I feel like breaking my diet. ;) My go to has always been the Al Pastor burrito. There's just something about the way they make them that makes me never want to lose contact with this spot since 2004. read more

This review is based off of dozens of visits in the past three years. Let's give the first award, of many, for CONSISTENCY. Rarely is there an off-night for the burrito-man-or-lady workin' the meat-zone (that's what I'm going to call the kitchen). Out of probably 50 burritos, I've encountered perhaps 2 that were disappointing (floppy, lacking in stabilizing rice). The rest have been THE BEST OF LOS ANGELES. Our second award will be for AFFORDABILITY. I get the veggie burrito (no lechuga) for 3 DOLLARS. 3 DOLLARS FOR A HUGE MEAL. It's beans, rice, pico de gallo, a bit of avocado, and cheese, all wrapped up in a perfect-textured tortilla, lightly grilled. Tortillas are one of the most important ingredients to a good burrito, often overlooked. El Indio NAILS IT, MAN. And them beans. They make me want to write letters to my family, telling them they've been replaced by hot, delicious beans. Our third award is for AVAILABILITY. 24 hours a day, every day. Right on the corner. There's always parking. The line is short and the cook is quick-as-F. Our fourth and final award (I'm running out of awards) is for THE SAUCE. Red. The red sauce is KING OF L.A. There is none better. I pride myself on having tried (and continuing to try) a wide swath of taquerias in my never-ending quest for perfection, and I can safely say that El Indio Azteca has hit upon perfection with their red sauce. Their green one is pretty great too, but it's a bit salty sometimes. I like spice, so know that before you go chuggin' these down, like a fool. I want to wrap this up (as tight and perfect as they wrap their burritos), so I'll just tell you it straight. This is the best burrito I've found in LA. I take all my friends here to test if they're really my friends or not. If they like it, I love them. If they don't, well, no one will find their body. read more

I've been here twice now, and I can't get over how good the food is. Even though all of the seating is outdoors, there is a sense of warmth to the atmosphere, strangely enough. When you walk up to the window to order, you're always greeted with a warm smile and a genuine appreciation for your business. As you order, no matter how bad your pronunciation is of the food, they don't seem to judge you (like some places do). I've had their Al Pastor and Carnitas Burritos, both were stellar. They include a chili sauce inside the burrito that separates their recipe from the rest out there. If you're not that much into spice and want to try it out without the risk of burning up too much, have them give you the sauce on the side so you can eat at your own pace. For the sauce lovers, order the sauce on the side and dip the burrito in it for extra saucy goodness. Their Nachos Especial is to die for. The cheese they use is, again, saucy, very flavorful, and has a very good texture to hit every last chip in the tray. The carnitas are plentifully scattered atop the chips to add an even more pleasurable crunching experience. Even though Maywood is considerably out of my way, this seems to be the one and only spot for good, honest Mexican food. Oh, and In case you didn't know already... it's open 24 hours. 5 Stars. read more

The nachos, burritos and tacos are so good. I personally prefer Indio over King taco but that's just my opinion. Friendly tip - it's CASH ONLY! And I recommend to take your order to go. read more

I tried the Red Burrito Mojado. It was disgusting. The rice was nasty. Just go to King Taco instead it's two blocks away. Everything there is good. --- 2016-2017 The asada is delicious. A must have. Don't try and make it fancy like I did with the burrito mojada. Get yourself an asada taco and love yourself read more

I've been coming to this place for awhile. Realy good food. Nothing fancy. Cash only. Near the main street. Open late. And set prices. I recommend tacos de asada or if ur really hungry go for a burrito. The drinks are refreshing and who doesn't like pina. I say yes and worth the buck read more

Love their salsa! .Tacos are also about larger than King Taco. They are not stingy with their meat. I personally like their tacos over King Taco. Can't seem to try anything other than the tacos.

The meat is not good The woman taking the orders is so rude I don't recommend this place unless you have a lot of time on your hands to wait for your order, they take forever read more

I have been coming here for over a decade! I absolutely love this place! It is open 24 hours so it is perfect for those crazy weekends after the club. I have had their asada, cabeza, & lengua tacos and burritos. They have wet burritos in very spicy green sauce, they are good but too spicy for my liking. The asada nachos are ok. The nacho cheese is really watered down, but at 3am they may be perfect! Lol . . . My only complaint is that I do not like their cups anymore!! A large drink used to be served in very huge cups! & now it seems like the large horchata is a medium one, sooo thumbs down for that! read more
