I order the QuesaBirria whenever I come here and it's was absolutely amazing. I've never experienced a huge crowd and the wait time is not long. The food is cooked to order, so it's usually hot and fresh. The atmosphere of the restaurant is normally calm. I can enjoy one of my favorite comfort meals inside.
Got the quesa birria tacos and a spicy pork taco. Everything was delicious, and came out quickly. Lots of tables available even with a large lunch crowd. Staff is kind and were happy to give me recommendations. Authentic Mexican spot! Affordable too.
El Indio is soooo good--it's easily worth the 25-minute drive every time! They serve up authentic Mexican food that hits all the right notes, with flavors that feel homemade and packed with love. Their birria tacos are absolutely to die for--perfectly seasoned, juicy, and paired with that rich, flavorful consommé that takes them to the next level. The dining room is cozy and a great spot to sit and enjoy your meal if you're not taking it to-go. The staff is friendly, and the cashiers are bilingual, making the experience smooth whether you speak English or Spanish. El Indio is a must-visit for anyone craving real, authentic Mexican food. It's a place I'd happily go out of my way for--and you should too!
The food here is amazing!! It's delicious, authentic, and the price is great. This was my first time trying birria tacos and they were so flavorful!! I had the shrimp and steak fajitas - the steak was super tender and the shrimp were delicious with a little spicy kick to them. I would definitely eat here again!
Came here with some friends and decided to try it out! The place looked pretty normal, a little outdated which meant that it will be good. The lady took our order and we waited about 10 mins to receive our food. (It was half full) Once I dug in the tacos were amazing, they get soggy for a while and are very greasy (car oil tacos lol!) They were great and the passion fruit water was bomb. Will be back! But next time I'll bring the TUMS!
~ First review of 2024 ~ El Indio is my favorite Mexican food chain in the Atlanta area even into 2024. Consistently delicious food, accuracy, and great value/portions. I've ordered from this location several times and only had one bad experience where the consommé with the birria tacos was just oily and no flavor. That same day the pork in the pozole was also a little undercooked and on the tough side. Every other time has been a great meal though, so this does not affect my rating. I'm sure they just had a busy day. If you have not tried birria or birriaquesa tacos yet, you're missing out! I highly recommend any of the El Indio locations. They are all great. I cannot really speak to the ambiance for this location, as I just get take out or delivery most times. However you plan to order, I'm sure there is something on the menu for you to enjoy.
Tripe taco 5/5 SO good, especially after all the toppings I added from the salsa bar. Birria quesadilla 3.5/5 it had too much meat, I know it's a weird complaint, and not enough seasoning. The consume that came with it was good and light. Workers there were very friendly.
So last night was my first time here an i give this place a 6/10 . I finally got a chance to try the birria tacos aka the car oil tacos lol it's about two other names people call it but it was definitely good. I had the birra quesadilla it was with beef that kinda looked like stew beef meat . It was big and good , it was like a big quesadilla, cut into 3 . I was also able to try a birria taco I only got one. It had the stew beef kinda meat in it as well . Everything was packed up into different containers with different kinds of sauces to try. I went around 10 o'clock at night and it was worth it a little crowded for it to be that late but people were there and it was going fast . You have the option to sit inside or to take out , I believe this is a Mexican restaurant.
I was looking for somewhere with birria tacos and found El Indio. Since then, I feel like I crave them at least every other week. This place has the best birria tacos I've ever had (not that I've had much experience with them), but I like that their menu gives you so many options as well. You could get the birria plate or birria quesadilla instead if you're not feeling tacos. I generally like to order one plate of the tacos and one of the quesadilla and split half of each with my husband. Both are so good that I can't ever decide which one I want, so we get both. The cup that they give you is so big that you could make one order and just order extra tacos and still have enough to dip with all your tacos. That's generally what we do. They also have a cart on the side that you can grab your own sauces and extra toppings. It's nice because you can grab as much as you want. Service is generally pretty fast, and they keep the place pretty clean considering this is a pretty messy meal. Just writing this review already makes me want to go back again. El Indio is definitely a must try!
We ordered takeout here just to try their birria tacos and quesadilla. We went in and placed our order, but the line was almost out the door on a weeknight. Moreover, there is no social distancing or enforcing of masks, even while you wait in line to order. I was a little uncomfortable with the crowd, so I waited outside for my order. Since it was busy, there were a lot of issues with picking up. Several people who ordered after me received their food first, so the wait was over 30 minutes. Nonetheless, our food was still warm when we got home. They give you a selection of sauces to choose from -- I really enjoyed their spicy salsa and tangy vinaigrette. For three birria tacos, the price (~$12) wasn't absurd, but I also wasn't super impressed. Thankfully, the tacos were generously stuffed too. Next time, I would probably opt for dine-in to get them fresh!
This is a casual taco place. I've been here several times not exactly to this location but the restaurant. I went late at night this time so the food was t as fresh as usual but typically it's good.. I usually get tacos. The birria tacos regular and seafood are good. I believe you can place orders over the phone or at the counter for here or to go. Parking can be hard if they're busy read more

The birria tacos were super juicy and crispy, although I found them to be a little bit too salty. The employees were also super nice and let me taste test the mango drink before I ordered them. The drink was super sweet and paired well with the tacos. read more

I have always been a fan of El Indio, but our recent visit gets it all the stars! I was late to the party on birria tacos, but when all the pics and articles about them started show up on Insta, I knew I was going to have to get in on the trend. One article I encountered recommended five restaurants in the Metro Atlanta area, and El Indio was on the list. That happens to be near our neighborhood, so one Friday night we decided to give them a shot. My husband and I each ordered the birria taco dinner, which came with three tacos and consome. We ordered through the Yelp Grubhub option with no problems whatsoever. When we went to pick up our order, we realized that this place is seriously hopping on a Friday night. The parking lot was PACKED. Since we were a little early, we decided to drive around a bit to avoid the fray until it was time for our pickup. As we approached our pick-up time, we lucked out and found a spot on the side of the restaurant which allowed us to avoid the most congested area. Pick-up was quick and easy, and the order was exactly right. Now, the tacos. They were excellent. The flavor was rich, deep, and meaty. This was no health food, make no mistake. But the indulgence was totally worth it. I get the birria taco hype! We ordered take-out because we have not been dining in yet, but I think the tacos would even be better fresh. We can't wait to come again when we can enjoy them fresh and inside the restaurant. We will definitely be back! If you haven't tried these yet, give them a shot! You won't regret it! read more

I came here for the birria tacos and they were delicious!! It's worth the hype so go try them out !! I came during lunch time and they were super busy!! This is a great sign. It made a little nervous there were a bunch of people inside but I wore my mask and just stayed to myself until got my food. I ordered the birria tacos and this spot is for authentic tacos if that's what you are after. They do have an array of other dishes with the menu up top and you just order at the counter. They have a salsa bar but they also have little pre made sauces for you to take with you so I didn't go to that area. Waiting for the food was a fine and my tacos stayed nice and crisp with the consomé was a great compliment. It didn't seem oily and it was flavorful. I'd like to come back to try more dishes that they serve. read more

This is the second time I've tried this place. Both times I've ordered delivery. Pro: Food arrives quickly, and still hot! Con: the inside shell was raw both times, which presents a texture issue for me. Crispy outer shell, plus a soft inner shell, dipped in the consomme, I just couldn't get past it. I've read in a another review on here the same thing, and that it's better to dine in. The first time i had just the tacos, same issue. This time I tried the Ramen with the tacos. Ramen wasn't bad, thin noodles, with a good portion of the beef! It may be just me, but the flavor was lacking a bit compared to other birria I've had, BUT the limes really helped it out! Ask for extra lime and it will be good. Overall, portions and presentation are good for the price. read more

it's in a plaza so you might miss it but I hope you don't. have your Spanish app ready to go or speak it fluently cause there was one person that spoke English. I've been to their sister restaurant so it's not totally new - but just like the other location, everyone was very friendly and helpful. smiles on the front line as well as in the back of the house. Someone was wiping tables and trays, keeping the dining room tidy. read more

I haven't had that good of birria tacos in a while,Overall the food was better than my sleep and my bed read more
I am a regular at El Indio and I have never been let down. The carne asada is amazing and always makes my Mexican heart happy. Today my boyfriend and I went and grabbed some tacos and sopes. The wait is short and this location expanded the dining area so being crowded is never a dilemma. You receive a little beeping device when your food is ready so there's not an issue with waiting right in front of the registers anymore. TIP: get the mango juice!! read more
Yikes I gave my 5 star review to the wrong spot !! Even though it's a franchise it seems the other location might not have the seafood Birria..See that's what happens when your blood sugar levels are up from consuming so much meat and corn products but dazammm it's worth it lol !! I want more today it's like crack running through my veins !! Hey I never smoked crack before but I'm sure if I did it would feel like this cause I'm sweating thinking about dipping my tacos in that creamy seafood juice !! Get up and go get uuuuu some read more

Pulled up on a Tuesday at 8pm and it was packed. Started raining and since it was crowded I ordered to-go. You get a little buzzer and can take it to the car. Took about 30 minutes but my birria quesatacos were fresh and muy delicioso! The location is in a busy Latin strip plaza. Nothing fancy but it's clean. Give them a try...you won't be sorry! read more

LET ME TELLLLLL YOUUUU!! I've been looking for some good birria tacos in Atlanta and have been struggling but when I stumbled upon El Indio I was excited! I saw photos and video online and knew from the way the cheese was ooooozing it was going to hit! The birria combo comes with 3 tacos and dipping sauce for about $11. The line can be long but they move quickly! The menu is overwhelming but just ignore it and go for birria. They call out numbers in Spanish so make sure you check out Rosetta Stone upon arrival! You're gonna need it if you plan to get your food! It's an authentic spot! They have birria tacos (corn tortilla) and birria quesadillas (flour tortilla). read more

I wanted birria tacos, and this place was the closest to my new house. Be aware that it can get pretty loud, and the cashier may or may not know English. There is a card minimum so bring cash if you're not ordering much here. But I doubt you couldn't order anything below $10 unless it's a drink. Get the birria tacos! You won't be dissatisfied. read more

Quick spot for some traditional Mexican street tacos, food, and drinks. You order at the counter and they call your number when the food is ready. We went on a busy Saturday afternoon and the food came out pretty quickly. Hubby got the chicken and steak tacos. They are tiny so order 4-5 if you are really hungry. They are 1.25-1.50 a piece. I wanted something simple so I got a cheese quesadilla which comes with a salad, guacamole, and sour cream. They have a salsa and toppings bar as well. We like spicy sauces and they had a couple of good options. The habanero was pretty good. I also recommend getting one of their drinks. I got the Jamaica drink which is a slightly spiced hibiscus drink. read more

Saw this place as a recommendation from TikTok so I decided to try it. They only had the beef Birria Tacos so I was a bit disappointed since I really wanted to try the seafood one (in another location). The tacos were pretty delicious, very stuffed and adding the red sauce and lime, the taste was superb. The beef itself needs more flavor in my opinion but I love the texture. It was my first time trying consommé but it was really greasy, a bit too greasy to my liking so I couldn't finish it. I also got a mango juice they had on the side and for the price of ($2.00) for a small, it was a generous amount. I absolutely loved the taste of that mango juice, it was so refreshing on a hot summer day and also it balance out the greasiness of the taco and consommé. They also allow ($1.00) refill if you do want more. The place was definitely really popular since every table was full during the time I went. But they don't take social distancing seriously and it was just so packed I wouldn't sit there to dine in anytime soon. Overall, just commentary on the food, I loved it and would want to try other food they have! read more
