This place has been there forever in that little red and yellow barrel. I don't go often because it's still cash only, but they have the best shredded beef burrito anywhere. Very juicy and tender with onions and peppers cooked into it. Hard to find elsewhere. read more

The food is delicious. We love the carne asada burritos. My son gets the breakfast burrito at all hours of the day. The agua de piña is our favorite but one thing that really bothered me was the no refill policy. Even if you charge a $1 for a refill I think it's fair. We did make a purchase and sat down to eat which most people don't do. Other than that- good spot. read more

The tacos are the big style for $4.50 with more meat than standard street tacos. The carnitas was okay, but not much flavor and no crispy bits as found in the best examples. The adobada meat didn't have much flavor and the little cubes were for the most part very chewy. They do include a dollop of guacamole. Only one hot sauce is available, a medium hot red chile. I wanted a small side of chips, but you have to pay an absurd $5.99 to get any at all. read more

Don't come here if you see the short Latin cooks. They always serve bad food for my experiences like this fries, It's hard as a brick! No vengas si ves a los cocineros latinos bajitos. Siempre sirven comida mala, por mi experiencia, como estas papas fritas. ¡Están duras como un ladrillo! Update 7 :00 pm same day I have concluded while sitting here in the bathroom for 25 minutes to stay away from this establishment Mientras estaba sentado aquí en el baño durante 25 minutos, llegué a la conclusión de alejarme de este establecimiento. read more

El Indio De Tijuana Taco Shop - Outside - Mexican Near Me - Escondido, California

I have been going here since I was a kid. I used to live down the street from it and walk over to get quesadillas and bean and cheese burritos all the time growing up. They have my favorite bean and cheese burrito! The tortillas are always so soft and the beans have just the right flavor. Going the other day felt very nostalgic for me and I realized I had to give them a 5 star review just because I think they deserve it. The ladies are always so nice when I order and I've always loved watching the cook make the food through the window. There's outdoor seating with shade if you want to stop. I remember when that seating area was new! The California burrito was excellent too. I will always come back for my classics though. Cash only by the way! I hope they stay for many more years to come. read more

First place we always hit up for food when we visit from Iowa. I'm a half a century old and still reminisce about being too small to look over the stainless steel counter and watch them cook the food. I feel like part of their family. It is the best Mexican food around and I think the best Carne Asada, beans, and of course, Chile Relleno. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Just a word of advice, the carne asada burrito comes with shredded lettuce inside so if you don't like that you'll need to ask them to hold it. read more

Prices have escalated quit a bit but the food is still amazing. Service is always quick and friendly. I always love pretty much h the same thing so I am never disappointed read more

The best California burrito in Escondido. El Indio De Tijuana's iconic yellow and orange circus barrel is a local landmark, yet this was my first visit here. I always avoided it because there's no inside seating and it's cash only. So why is this the BEST California burrito in town? Well let's start with the carne asada. I hate eating a really wet drippy burrito that leaks out onto my lap. This version is nice and dry, but not too dry. The asada was nicely seasoned and they also did a great job melting all the cheese inside. They were generous with the fries, and they include pico de gallo inside for added flavor. All of this wrapped around a high quality cooked tortilla. A perfect balance of flavors and textures. Notes - One thing to know is that this place puts lettuce in their regular carne asada burritos. I'm not a fan of this but that didn't seem to stop other people in line from ordering it. read more

Okay guys, I now know where I can buy the "World's greatest burrito!!" And that's in Esco Ca! The place that has it is "El Indio de Tijuana." My sister told me about this burrito that they sell there. It's the "Burrito de Chicharron." And I'm not exaggerating, but it's Worlds greatest!! Guys, trust me on this one!! It's the best!! It's FN good!! read more

Without having to drive all the way down to Downtown, this is a good option when craving legit Mexican Food. The place is clean and easily accessible. Service is quick and their team members are friendly. Just wish it had less sketchy looking people hanging around. Remember to tip well. read more

The customer service was nice but not worth the price. My egg and bean burrito was $10.25. For the price, I was expecting a huge burrito but it was mostly tortilla. read more

5 out of fucking 5 stars. Lemme tell you this shit is amazing, their tacos de abobada are straight gas. The service is great just a nice ass Mexican lady that recognized me from when I was little because I always used to go to this place. The ambiance of the place is nice. A little hut with a awning and tables to eat at. I like the vibe cause it's simple and delicious. read more

I was recommended to go there for a Carne Asada burrito. There wasn't a ton of flavor with the burrito. They add lettuce to it which is OK but that doesn't add to the flavor at all. The best part was the tomatillo salsa it was just OK for me I've had way better burritos in the area. read more

This place is trash. I got a carne asada burrito and instead they gave me a lettuce with guacamole burrito. This taco shop is scamming ppl with meat. I would never go there again. read more

This place sucks the customer service went down so bad! Never going again! The lady there is so rude she always puts cheese on my carne asada fries even though I say no cheese this has happened 3 times already and I really wanted to keep giving it a chance because I used to love it. Super sad that this happened but oh well. The lady has even gone to say I return food when I never have...? read more

We usually buy burritos from here 1-2 times a month. We just got 3 burritos today at 1PM we got 1 California Burrito and 2 Asada Burritos. The green sauce smelled sour so it wasn't good anymore. The california burrito had no pico only fries, cheese, and meat. To top it off the meat in all 3 burritos did NOT taste right.... the guac in the carne asada butrito tasted gross. Last week we stopped by I picked up 5 rolled tacos and the shredded beef also tasted gross with a nasty taste. This business sells SMALL burritos but because the quality and taste is good we continue to purchase from here but we'll no longer buy food from this establishment. read more

Food is really good. Service is quick. Will continue going here for sure. Took my son there the other day, he agrees that the food is really good as well. Flavorful and well made. read more

The food is good, flavor i haven't found anywhere else. But the customer service is horrible. Prices fluctuate depending on who's working the cash register. Small portions. I'm still a customer but only rarely when I can Psych myself out and pretend I'm not overpaying :/ read more

I have lived in Escondido for almost 8 years and have always wanted to try this place. I guess I kept putting it off because it's cash only. But today was the day! I had enough cash in my purse and I am sorry I didn't go sooner. I got the beef torta and it was SO good! I love the seating area, it's nice and cool. Great customer service, delicious food, I'll definitely be going back! read more

The food has great flavor and everything I love the salsa they are very nice. However they have definitely made their portions a lot smaller. Prices went up and burritos got smaller. Take a look at my picture you can take a look at the average burrito keep in mind half of it was just tortilla read more

A MF NUT. Carne asada burrito easy go to. Only tired a few other things, all taste amazing but the carne asada burrito jus hit different. Comes with carne asada, lettuce and guac. Sounds basic but the flavor will make you feel some type of way. 11/10 would recommend. Also, they are not rude they just keep it real foo read more

I've been eating here for 30 something years, I lived in escondido for 20. This is the only mexican food place I can think of in town that's been here since the 80s. They have the best bean and cheese burrito in town for sure, and their Carne asada is good like I remember from when I was a kid. They put lettuce in their carne asada burritos which throws some people off, but I like it. read more

Actually no stars, picked up a chili relleno burrito for my dinner tonight. This was my first visit and my last. The $8 cost ended up in the trash. I cut it in half and didn't see a Chili in the first half only a glob of something I couldn't ID. But did have avocado sauce & very wilted lettuce. The second half had the same yucky sauce and found the Chili Relleno. Only fit in one end of the burrito. Could have used a 8" tortilla. Would have fit perfect. Discovered what the unidentified glob was, the coating for the CR. By the time I figured it out I couldn't eat it and into the trash! read more

I drive pass this place most days coming home from work and have been wanting to try this place out. Stopped by to have breakfast burrito this morning with beans no potatoes and it was really good.

It's been about six years since my last review of this place and I figured I'd follow up with another five star review because I always see the same faces working there and it's still hands down the best California burrito I've found anywhere. I always order mine with extra pico de gallo and they never disappoint. It's fast, convenient and well priced. The burritos are huge, I always share half of mine and am still stuffed. After all these years, I still won't be going anywhere else for my Cali burro. read more

I love this place. It is awesome and the cook there right now is the man. I moved to vista but always make my way back one or twice a week compared too 3 or 4.
