Arriola's Tortilleria is an Indio staple! Hole-in-the-wall near old town Indio. Perfect place to grab a grab-and-go breakfast, lunch, or my favorite, a snack. I have been going here since I was a kid. We love their salsa and chips! Everything is homemade from the salsa to the masa. They offer burritos and homemade tortillas as well! Even have menudo on the weekends! Service is great, quick and easy. Most I've waited is around 5 minutes for my food. It does get packed during lunch time so be ready for that. read more

Arriola's Tortilleria - Outside - Mexican Near Me - Indio, California

This place was a bit suspect when we walked in. The menu was limited so I wasn't sure what to make of it. It was super clean with a few coolers for sodas and freshly made corn and flour tortillas. We were ordering a couple of tamales and chili Verde nachos. I was taken aback a bit when we asked what came on the navhos abd the cashier confidently said the nachos had cheese and meat with salsa, nothing more. We ordered them anyway. The food arrived quickly, much quicker than the reviews we read said. There is no seating so we were prepared to eat in the car The minute I opened the nacho container I knew there was a reason the nachos only had meat and cheese. The smell was heavenly and that first bite was spectacular. The chips were thick and super crispy never getting soggy despite being smothered in cheese sauce and meat. The chili Verde was fantastic, the meat was tender and the sauce was super flavorful with just the right amount of spice to enjoy. I would have preferred a bit spicer but as it is you get to enjoy all the flavors without your mouth burning. While the nachos were filling we didn't eat the tamales right away Given they were bigger that the palm of my hand. We had the tamales the next day.. oh my, my .. these were the closest if not identical to the ones my Grandma used to make, filled with plenty meat and the right mix of sauce. The masa was fluffy and perfect seasoned with a kiss of the chile. The meat and chili mixture was superb, not spicy just filled with flavor. We brought home some flour tortillas and I cant wait to have them. I almost dont want to recommend this place to save it all to myself but I want to see businesses like this thrive so that I can continue to enjoy them every time I'm in the area read more

I purchased menudo today, Sunday arrived home to warm it up to find that what I purchased was the majority was only harmony. I drove back with my purchased menudo to show him that I was unhappy; instead of trying to resolve the issue by first apologizing and giving me another one he simply said we'll, here's your money. I then told him I think this is the last time I come here his response was simply ok. All in on all extremly horrible. ​ read more

My review is only for the tamales, I haven't tried any of the other items on the menu yet, so stay tuned... I placed an order on a Tuesday, for a few dozen that following Sunday for my Christmas dinner. The cashier was friendly and I didn't have to wait at all. He quickly brought out my order of warm tamales, Wow talk about big ! The beef was my favorite, very flavorful. Lots of Masa! . All you need is one! The chicken was also good also, but it was a tad bit salty. This is a hole in the spot in Indio that has been around for many years. Be prepared to wait in the long line, but it is definitely worth it. read more

Ok, I stumbled on the place just by looking up breakfast burritos near me in Indio , I not from the area but from Cali, so I know Mexican food , I must say this has been one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in a longtime!!!! I ordered the Chorizo Potato Breakfast Burritos. If this burrito is this good I could only imagine the others , Tortilla was just right , the balance was spot on , not to much beans , not to much potatoes, not to much chorizo, and just the right amount of cheese, don't sleep on this place. I highly recommend this gem of a spot!!! read more

I ordered a beef combo burrito and they gave me pork. They substituted it without even getting it approved by me first. Terrible customer service. If you are out of something that was ordered then you should let the customer know instead of substituting it without their knowledge. I cannot eat pork. I'm really disappointed. I will not be back. read more

Need chairs to sit, more space, more quiet and quality meatballs and a good breakfast sandwich for my wife.

The food is good but pricey. I was disappointed when I was charged a fee for using my credit card. I don't carry any cash, who does anymore? They have already hiked up the food prices so much, why are they charging their patrons to use their own money. I will not patronize any restaurant that charges you to use your own money. There are still good restaurants out there that don't charge you a credit card fee. read more

The best service, best chips and cheese and salsa for a snack. Great chile Verde tamales are great too! I would recommend this place to everyone read more

A true must have when in the valley! Food is the best! Amazing chips and salsa!! Love it

Best tortilla chips around. They also have fresh flour and corn tortillas. Seems like the nacho plates are pretty popular. I personally thought the pork was OK. Service is always slow for some reason. But it's quality place. just a little place for takeout only. read more

Was looking for tamales for a friend who knows tamales! Checked on yelp and came to Arriolas. Looks like right place cuz there was a line and asked a couple people what they were getting and they mentioned the burritos and tamales. Get the tamale and burrito boats. Very yummy with extra meat and sauce on top. Delicioso. Service was very helpful and nice esp for us first timers coming here. People waiting in line were nice...we are waiting for 2 doz tamales to pick up in a couple hours since everyone was buying! The chips and salsa are popular too. Definitely a go to place since the local I spoke to says this is the place. I mentioned the supermarket tamales and he said they're hit or miss sometimes but at least here you know it's fresh. The verde burrito was full of pork chunks but wished it was a bit more flavorful and more seasoned. But hubs chomped it down! read more

Its undoubtedly, the only place to get tbe very best tamales in all of the Desert. Their Tamale Boat is insanely delicious

My family has ordered tamales from Arriola's for many years! They are always delicious! We love the chips and salsa too. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner items but it is all takeout. The service is a walk up counter. You may have to wait in a line for a bit but it's worth it. read more

Wow! The masa for the tamales was the best I've ever tasted! Pork tamales were great. I also ordered a shredded beef combo burrito that was huge and very flavorful without being too spicy. That burrito will make three meals for me. The prices were phenomenal. They were meticulously clean in the front of the house and what I could see in the back. Only to go orders, no inside seating. Located in old downtown Indio. We'll worth making the trip for excellent food. read more

A small place with no indoor dining. The tamales are really big. Lots of masa and plenty of meat with adequate chili. Almost $40 a dozen or $4 each tamale. Not a typical tamale I grew up with but really enjoyed them. The chorizo burrito was really big and tasty. Service really slow the day I went in. No flour tortillas for purchase that day. I think they must only make them on certain days. read more

If your looking for fresh, homemade tamales, this is the place. Delicious menu, great tortillas, or chips....love this old school place

Very good food. We stopped here on our way to Palm Springs from Arizona. I had the Chile Verde burrito and my wife had the bean and cheese burrito. They were delicious. The tortillas are so fresh. The only thing preventing a fifth star is that my burrito could have used more meat. Otherwise, it was great and we will be back. read more

If you're visiting, I'd suggest stopping here. This place is a staple in the community and for good reason. Personally, I can only speak about their nachos. I don't venture outside of that. The cheese and salsa is sooooo good. You bring those and their chips to a party... everyone's your friend. lol You'd think it was a cash only spot, but they take card and you can tap pay. FYI - this is a pull up and bounce spot. No seating. All take out. read more

Absolutely awesome food. Perfect for our office get together as they make food in bulk. Tamales, tortillas, meat, chips, man, now I'm getting hungry again. Stop by, you won't be disappointed. read more

Outstanding! Service and authentic burritos and tamales! Order tamales ahead. Don't miss out on fresh made tortillas.

Hell yeah. Huge delish hot flavorful filling burritos for $10 and less. Might take a few min for some items so don't be in a rush. Great salsa too. I wish they had a pop up at the airport! read more

We have been looking for the best nachos in Coachella Valley, and found them right in our backyard at Arriola's Tortilleria! We got the nachos deluxe, which were deluxe indeed, homemade chips covered in beans, cheese, sour cream, guac and the most tender meat we've ever tasted! Moving on, we sailed to the tamale boat, a "boat full" of delicious tamale, and ended with the red burrito. The burrito weighed about 45 pounds () and we said we were so full we would just give it a little taste. Needless to say, that burrito is history because we couldn't help ourselves!! But looking forward to enjoying the rest of our nachos and tamale boat tomorrow (but honestly probably later today!) so happy to have found this hidden gem!! read more

Local's Favorite chips and salsa. Highly recommend for parties and the occasional burrito is nice.

Good food! We ordered nachos and burritos to go and ate in the car. The burritos were pretty heavy, but tasty. As a note they looked closed (no open sign) thankfully we tried the door. Also no bathroom for customer use. read more

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
