What could I say Indio's is simple reliable the best, it reminds me a lot of how my mom still cooks and my grandmother. Everything is homemade and so yummy! It's cafeteria style so you could walk up and pick your dishes with rice and beans, or order it from the table from your waitress. Tacos, tortas, and burritos are bomb from here too. Any of the dishes are delicious I recommend the beef tongue very tender, simmered in tomato sauce with onions the best. I also love the Indio's off 63rd and Pulaski basically the same only a few differences. This is as authentic as it gets trust me, for all you foodies out there that love Mexican food and like to try new places go here trust me you won't regret it. read more

Really good. No cheesy decor. No gimmicks. Be prepared to dust-off your Spanish (if you don't already speak it). It get packed on weekends, but that happens at a good Mexican restaurant with decent prices. read more

Food is great, good selection, clean kitchen. You can not go wrong with ordering anything on the menu. Only downside is that the restaurant is small and wait time can be a bit long at times. read more

This is by far my favorite Mexican taco joint, really nice and clean which is always a plus going to eat at any restaurant. The waitresses that work here always top of things, yes sometimes the wait time is crazy but I don't mind waiting. The food mmmmmm so good damn good I always order tacos ( like 5 of them lol jk ) al pastor( seasoned pork) is my favorite, they are well portioned with meat not like other places that really skimp you out, their also not greasy like other places. The Gorditas ( made like a taco but it's made with masa (dough)) Agua De Horchata (rice water) Burritos (God help you if you don't know what this is ) Tortas (Mexican panini's ) just all the food is pretty much on point. Highly recommend this place if your ever around here don't see why you couldn't stop by and eat at a pretty Bueno taco joint. Parking is pretty much everywhere but you will usually not find parking in front of the place but maybe a block down or across the street. Cash or credit cards are good here usually some places are cash only. read more

What keeps me coming back you ask me? Only the BEST Carne Asada tortas I've heard had. Like EVER. I'm not exaggerating here. I've been to many many Mexican restaurants from Chicago to LA and this place takes the crown for best tortas. Their Asada is crisp and flavorful. There's really nothing that compares to them. I come here everytime I visit, sometimes twice a week. The staff is always courteous and the food is super quick to come out. That's a very huge plus. For such high volume customers they receive on an everyday basis they should really consider expanding though... I Love Indio's! read more

The food here is delicious, very traditional and cooked to Perfection this is by far a new favorite of mine! This is definitely one of those places that you just know about but you recommend to everybody you know! read more

Indio Restaurant - The el pastor is AMAZING! - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

It's tiny and not very well decorated, the parking situation sucks but if you want a really good taco, torta or horchata then this is your place. This is where I learned NOT to eat the seeds inside roasted jalepenos. Tough lesson to learn, I thought I was going to die crying hot tears and sucking on ice cubes. Seriously...do NOT eat the seeds. (I'm so white) I met a guy in Mexico one year that I wound up dating, if you can call it that, for a bit. When I visited him he'd always drag me around from taqueria to taqueria trying to get me to try things I couldn't possibly have experimented in Chicago. I was like, "Vato, trabajo en Cicero. No me puedes ensenar nada no que tienen en Cicero." I'm sure he didn't know what I was saying because my Spanish sucks, or maybe he just didn't get it. At any rate...there really wasn't much in Morelia that I couldn't find at Indio. Maybe the intestines tacos...but I've never asked for them here. I'll be honest, I don't even know what they're called. Normally I order the pork torta and an horchata. I don't know why tortas are so much better than a regular sandwich, but they are. Get it take out, there are only a few tables. read more

Best Mexican rest hands down. It's a small place but food is great. Whenever I'm going Thur Cicero I stop there

Want some bomb a$$ Mexican food?!? Look no further because Indio does not disappoint. We've enjoyed grabbing Indio to go on multiple occasions and have never had a bad experience. Their salsa verde is the bombdotcom (yeah, I said it!) and their tortas de Milanesa (pollo) are amazing and so satisfying. Service is great. They get your order right and are very friendly! I usually don't crave Mexican food often (we eat it all the time at home) but I don't mind eating here frequently. Ps. The avocado is extra, but total worth it! read more

This place has the worst customer service In the world. I made sure with the server that i was ordering a skirt steak plate and she assured me it was yet when i received my meal it was not a Skirt steak meal rather a cheap version of wanna be skirt steak "bistec" I sent the plate back and the owner had the nerve to tell me that he was going to charge me for it because that was what i had ordered and if i didn't like it to leave the establishment and never come back. Save ur money and go elsewhere were customers are truly appreciated. read more

wow! This is definitely a place to go when in cicero. I definitely recommend the torta de milanesa or gordita de rajas con queso. yyuuummmmmmm!!!! That place is always packed, it's better to order for pickup. The staff is fast and super friendly. The only thing that stinks is the parking... (there's never any). LOL! read more

Great representation of what a taco stand/taqueria should be! Lines are always long, and that is probably because this place is known for loading up their tacos with a ton of meat. I find that most people that go here stick with the carne asada tacos. They do them well, and I can see why that is the case. My one gripe with this place is that you pretty much have to get your tacos to go- which can be fine sometimes, but other times makes me steer away from here since I don't want to eat cold tacos- nothing is more disappointing to me than a cold tortilla! Three-stars because it is definitely A-OK. I just have a hard time giving more than that for a place that I only get carne asada tacos from. read more

This has been my favorite Mexican place for almost a year now. In the future I will update if anything changes. The Good: They have a good amount of dishes some that are not too common, like Guidsado de Lengua that you get there. Basically they use what they have there to fill tacos, dishes, gorditas, etc. They cook many things in front of you. There is usually a lot of people and so the food is fresh because it gets turned over a lot. Dining area is very small, like 30 people and many times there is a line. I usually carry-out. Their tacos de lengua (beef tongue tacos) are made a bit different than other places. They have a reddish spicy tomato sauce. It's from a "guisado" (stew-like) dish. The taco has beans and rice in it as well. So good! We have also tried and liked Tacos Al Pastor, Puerco en Salsa Verde, Chicarrones, Tacos Carne Asada and all were very good and ordered regulary. Some "Cons": Now many people love their gorditas, but my family doesn't. The problem is not with the "stuffing", it's tasty and portions are good. The problem is the "doughy" part of the gorditas. They seem too thin, like if two tortillas were glue together and then stuffed. It's not bread-doughy like it should be. It's not the worst, but not to our taste. My uncle and many others love them though. The red Mole is not special and you could probably get a good or better Mole from your grocery store from "Dona Maria" brand. I also tried the "Guisado de Res" and it was similar to the Mole in my opinion. The Chile Rellenos are kinda bland for me. Cheese seems bland and the outer part as well. Keep in mind my mom makes killer Chile Rellenos so it's a tough act to follow. Another complaint is that sometimes our portions are huge, like sometimes the meat in the tacos is overflowing. But a few times we've gotten dinky portions, I don't know if it depends on the cooks who are serving or what. Once I went there and I didn't recognize any of the cooks and I got small portions. Still, this is my favorite place so far. On my credit card statement they come up as "El Faro" so I suspect they are also owned by the popular "El Faro", but I'm not sure and I have not been to El Faro. Everyone has different taste and if you give this place a try I hope you find something you like. read more

Food was bad, service was bad and the place is smaller than my kitchen. I'll never return here stay away

This place is participating in price gauging, the prices on the menu are different than u will get when u pick your food up. I was charged an extra 1.50 for each taco and 2dollars extra for each burrito I bought...I will be reporting them asap read more

Ordered over the phone 20 minutes prior just to wait another 20 minutes in the lobby waiting for my food which was ready and just sitting there for 10 minutes and the cashier (short girl with glasses) didn't even noticed until I asked her to check again if my food was ready, bad service, ok food read more

I came in here recently expecting it to be similar to El Faro, as they are under the same ownership. Unfortunately, they don't offer the same vegetarian options as Faro :-( If I had known this I wouldn't have bothered coming here. It's just your typical small taqueria....just like the thousands you find all over the city/burbs. And if you think finding parking will be easy...good luck..parking on Cermak was a terrible in the afternoon (I was like a hawk driving in circles to find parking). I was pretty hungry and on a tight schedule so even though I was disappointed that they didn't have my vegetarian options I decided to try the steak burrito. It was decent. The red salsa was also ok ....and hey for $5.75 it hit the spot. Will I be back soon? Nah. I can get the same quality at any other taqueria and closer to home read more

This is my favorite little Mexican restaurant near my house. It's a diamond in the rough. They're so good that they have numerous carry out orders as you sit here and eat. Love the steak in the burritos , tacos, and tortas....cut very small and not full of fillers. Prices aren't bad. You must come here. read more

Indio Restaurant - Well, this is half of my torta. - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

Love the food. My standard order: their burrito and a side of the 3 inexpensive corn quesadillas But I have gotten (& was very happy with) the tortas, the tacos, the Chiles Rellenos and the Chicken Mole dinner (when it is on special). Table service is available, as is call ahead take out. Place is bright and simple, a take out counter and some laminate tables. Easy and good, nice people. read more

Excellent Gorditas. The tacos are great as well. They also give you plenty of the red sauce.

Delicious Tacos I order 2 plain tacos meat and oh my god it's so good! It has a lot of flavor! 6 stars!

The tacos are on point, the joint is always packed so that's lettin' you know it's business in there. I went yesterday and a rather large Hispanic woman tried fighting me for a table and her 7 kids cut me in line.. I had to settle for KFC... read more

I can never have enough from this place, the food is always good, the prices reasonable. Been coming here for over 20+ years and can honestly say the taste of the food has always been consistent, from the beans to the salsa. You won't be disappointed. read more

My kids love their tacos, while I prefer the gorditas and burritos. Actually, everything at Indio that we've ever tried has been good. It's really good food at very cheap prices. It is always busy so we try to go during off-peak hours. The place is pretty small so if you want to have a sit down dinner then avoid going there between 6-8pm. Another option is just to do take-out. This has to be one of the best taquerias around the Chicago area. read more

Very good food just hard to find since they don't have big signage Very small to the point you think they don't have a bathroom lol read more

This place is phenomenal. It's small in size and always packed out and it worth the wait. I prefer to call ahead. Always great food!

El consome no es consome sino un caldo de Res con verduras pero asi esta muy delicioso y rico . Me parece mas una fonda que Restaurant por el tamano y el servicio pero vale la pena y cada vez que paso por Cicero y tengo un hambre paso a este lugar a comer donde casi siempre ordeno un taco de asada y uno de chile relleno. El taco de carne asada siempre esta bien cargado de carne y no es cueruda ni cebuda, le quito la segunda tortilla a los tacos y del taco de chile relleno saco hasta 3 tacos mas, lol. Super BARATO ! ! ! Oh ! , El agua de horchata es deliciosa y es 100% hecha por ARROZ real y fresca del momente no fresca por lo frio ehh! Se los recomiendo. Los Cocineros son muy rapidos, tienen buen sazon los que preparan la comida, las meseras muy atentas y al pendientes de uno. El Lugar muy pequeno pero la gente que llega a comer no sabe que es una fonda no restaurante que no tienen concideracion en los momentos de que ahi mucha gente esperando a la hora de el desayuno y del almuerzo que se la pasan comadreando por mucho tiempo. Cuando no ahi mucha gente es mas rapido que un lugar de comida rapida (md o BK o W) read more

Good food, been going here for years, but they are super stingy on giving hot sauces to go. Further more.....they charge extra for jalapeños/carrots. Last friday I overheard a young man asking for a couple lime slices, thats right two lime slices. The waitress was going to give them away, but the guy @ the register said no, they had the audacity to charge this guy for his two lime slices. . GIMMIE A BREAK!!!!!!! You can't be that greedy!!! Chic-fil-a doesn't charge xtra for condiments. These guys really need to review their practices because a couple of slices of lime can cost them even more. Hopefully Indio restaurant sees this, and comments. I can make myself for dialogue if they wish. read more

Great tacos and fresh food made to order. The gorditas de frijol y queso are just spectacular. Their red sauce has just the right amount of flavor and not too spicy. This restaurant has a small dining room, but you won't wait long for a table. read more

Best place for tacos! Zacatacos is nothing compared to this place. The only problem with this place is that theres hardly parking, many people, and closed on sundays. But this place is your place to go for tacos, not only are they good but cheap also. The service is nice and friendly. read more

If you want great Mexican food and a nice cozy environment this is the place to go. The gorditas de frijoles con queso are amazing also the lengua and asada I would recommend them all. Very reasonable prices I spend a lot less then I had expected and got very good portions of food. My only complain is that the chips are not complementary you have to make a side order of them. But it's not really big deal. Also the late night hours are great! It's a must TRY! read more

Indio Restaurant - Lent special menu - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

Love their gorditas, tacos, and caldo de res. Just about anything you get from here is amazing. They actually have my favorite salsa, which just has so much flavor. Definitely a good spot to order for pickup, or eat there when it's not too crowded. read more

It's a decent place to eat, the only reason why I order from here is because my boyfriend keeps ordering from there. I order the burrito; it's a bit greasy. I get the torta de milanesa; hardly enough meat for the bread. I believe the tacos are kind of small for the price and they don't give enough hot sauce. 2 sauce containers for 5 tacos... Yeah... No. Overall it's ok. read more

Their food is okay. Not my fave but okay. Their customer service/staff... well they are something else. One of the worst I have run into with a rude staff. The waitresses tried to tell me I did not order what I asked for. Though i know for a fact i did because I ordered the same for years. So I know. So i couldn't order stuff on the side and pay for it because I didn't meet the minimum on my credit card. Though I would of if she would of payed attention. Instead of fighting with a customer and rushing me out. Instead of simply saying sorry one of the girls decided to pick a fight back when all I asked for was for what I originally ordered. Don't they know customers are always right. And in this case I was and somehow I was being given an attitude for just saying if i can get the side order I ordered. read more
