My daughter ordered dinner for us on Mother's day.Everyone was happy with their order except me.I requested one vegetarian burrito with guacamole and lettuce on the side instead I got the opposite. Had to spend a great deal of time picking out every single strand of shredded lettuce out of my burrito. Not fun. Since this meal was delivered and ordered by someone else I didn't return it. read more

I'm just a local gringo that loves chips and salsa and this place scratches my itch. Their drink specials are always a good deal too. I love it here. Rockwood is home and el Indio is a staple. read more

We did not get what we ordered. I pointed that out to the waitress. No offer made to bring us what we ordered and no adjustment made to the bill. Don't waste your money here!! read more

I had high hopes for this place. The service was so so. I think of we spoke Spanish, things would have gone better... Let's start with with the good first. The shredded and grilled Chicken was very good. That ships were fresh, and I believe homemade which made him very good. In addition, the bathroom was very clean. Now the not so good. As I mentioned earlier, that service was so so. The main reason for the three stars though I is that none of the food had flavor whatsoever so much so that and that I added salt to everything, and I rarely ever add salt to anything. read more

Went there with my mom and sister and it was so delicious! Definitely try the bean dip! Must try this place read more

I have been coming here for years and always had a great experience. The servers are friendly, my drinks and salsa never run dry! I love that when I order chicken I get breast, not dark meat. This location cooks the rice with lard and it is so flavorful. They are happy to accommodate special requests, I prefer to have green sauce instead of red, black beans instead of pinto and if you want some real heat ask for some jalapeño Fritos or hot salsa to go with your meal! Huge plates, great flavor and service. read more

We came here on a recommendation that they made good frozen drinks, as a little early birthday celebration. Walking in the door we were greeted and seated right away by the super friendly staff. The frozen margaritas did not disappoint!! Very good, and not too sweet. Between all of us we had the veggie fajitas, super nachos, chimichanga, and a tamale. Everything was hot and fresh, good quality, quantity and taste. To top the night off, we told our waiter we were celebrating a birthday. They bright over a sombrero and a birthday shot, and sang her happy birthday. Maybe we have no shame, but it was so much fun! We really enjoyed our dinner and everything else. We'll definitely be back. read more

We had lunch here on a Saturday. This is a warm, congenial, homey restaurant that smells good as soon as you walk in. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. I ordered the Deluxe Tostada, vegetarian (beans and cheese on crisp lettuce), my partner got an enchilada plate, chicken, beans, and rice. Nice presentation and everything fresh and delicious. Priced reasonably. I would definitely return! read more

Asada was very tough, rice was dried out. My husband had a pork burrito and he didn't like it either. Service was ok No one was in there on Wednesdsy night at 530ish I know why now Horrible read more

My prior rating was for El Indio on Halsey. This one is for 194th &Stark. This latest takeout from El Indios Gresham was so much better! Ablondigis Soup was tasty and wonderful. I'm glad we tried their Guacamole, it might be the best we ever tried. The just noticeable hint of spice was impressive. Chile Relleno & Cheese Enchilada Combination was very good as were the rice & beans. The Salsa was tasty! I'm glad I ordered from this location. read more

These people served me a drink with a dead fly in it... and when i asked them to comp my meal ( just me and my sister)because now were both grossed out!! THEY COULD NOT PRODUCE THE MANAGER!!! We even waited for him. WHAT KIND OF MANAGER LEAVES IN THE MIDDLE OF DINNER RUSH @ 730PM? I EVENTUALLY I PAID AND LEFT GROSSED OUT AND PISSED. i really liked eating there, and would have enjoyed myself if it weren't for that expience. now i dont know if ill ever go back. read more

My first visit, over 7 years ago started out bad. The waitress came around and asked us if we wanted any drinks, we said 2 margaritas and ordered Machos Machos. The drinks were good, the nachos were amazing. The bill was almost $60!!! The waitress took it upon herself to order the most expensive margarita on the menu, never told me the price or different price options. What made it worse was that I was stuck with the bill-they refused to discount my drinks. I left fuming and it took over a year before I went back, albeit more wise to their tricks. The food is always hot and looks like it was just made. So far everything I have tasted is very good-try the Arroz con Pollo, (one of my all time favs)! Bottom line: good food, fun atmosphere, casual, and loud during peak hours. You won't be disappointed-BUT ASK FOR DRINK PRICES. read more

Don't do it! Food not good, service even worse! Mexican restaurant that charges for chips & salsa? Really. Sat in lounge waitress comes in, turns up that bad music loudly, changes the channel on the TV to soccer (I was watching the news), doesn't ask. But can't take the dirty dishes off the table....but never been to Mexican food and have to pay for chips & salsa........my mistake - never again. read more

Why we went here....I don't know. We never will again. We ate here years ago and it was good ( El Ranchito). Not mow read more

I don't go out to Gresham very often..or really ever at all...so yesterday when I ended up there by chance, one thing I noticed was that there were Mexican restaurants and grocery stores ALL OVER. Seeing that our quest was for Mexican food, I figured that was a great thing. Right? Sort of in the middle of all this authenticity? We stopped at El Ranchitos, and the place SCREAMED junky Mexican, which was what we were actually looking forward to. Chips and salsa were fine (we ate a ton, but I'm pretty sure the salsa was from a jar). Mole was NOT okay. My plate came to me, and I knew something was off because of the color. Granted, there are several varieties of the delicate sauce, but I'm pretty sure none of the recipes call for sugar-filled Jiffy peanut-butter as the main ingredient. Seriously! My pollo tasted like it was drenched in sugary peanut butter! This was NOT mole in the slightest! The beans were overcooked and had rubbery cheese on top, but the rice was actually okay. Also, I was a little weirded out because my tortillas came in a fabric quilted pouch instead of an insulated container, which makes me wonder how clean it was, because it's not easily washable. Hrmm.... For $12, I'm not going to go back for this disappointing food. My friend seemed to like the tamale and enchilada, so I'm assuming that if you order something less complicated, it might turn out fine. Also to note, I'm pretty sure they use MSG, even though it doesn't do anything for the food. Afterward, my friend had a headache, and I had to reach for the Imodium. TMI, sorry, but blechh! read more

I'm sorry, but the management is just down-right bad now. El Ranchito was featured in a local coupon book with a pay $10/get $20 worth of food certificate. We purchased it in mid-March and just tried to use it last night, March 31st. We were informed that the owner didn't like the deal (after they had signed the contract for the deal) and was no longer honoring the ALREADY PURCHASED certificates. They get one star because the food is still above average, and a second star because the waitress was well-trained and very apologetic over the coupon issue. She also informed us that she was putting in her notice this weekend to be moved back to her original El Ranchito location. Poor form, El Ranchito Gresham; poor form. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for the last few years. It's a very comfortable place to relax with a meal and a drink. The main waitress who is working every time I come here is always so accommodating and kind. I'm happy every time I walk in and she's here. Last time my boyfriend and I came, I ordered a second margarita and she brought a big enough one for the two of us to split! Who does that!? The food is always very well done. The carne asada is cooked to medium well like I ask and the tortillas are always fresh and homemade. The beans and rice are very traditional and full of flavor. Would definitely recommend coming here. Good place considering it's Gresham. read more

El Indio's - Arroz con pollo special and margarita, far plate is a enchilada and Taco. Perfect - Mexican Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Best Mexican restaurant in the vicinity! I've been to nearly all of the ones nearby and this one hits the spot! Amazing service and generous portion sizes with quality food! I found my regular spot when I'm in the mood for Mexican! read more

The service was OK... the food was horrible..chicken so over cooked it could have been called jerky. the rice was burned and smelled like smoke. the seafood was NOT fresh and smelly... the chips and salsa were good and the drinks were very good. there were other customers yelling about how long the orders took and they were not busy. i cannot belive how poor quality my dinner was. i ordered the ranchito plate. shrimp chicken and scallops at $16.50 it was a horrible disappointment. dont know if i will go back again...if i do it will be for the drinks and chips read more

This restaurant is okay. It's not really the best mexican food ever. I went recently with my family, we all ordered different things and it took them 20 minutes to get us our food. This restaurant also had a strong smell of cleaning supplies, which was a little overwhelming at first. Also when we entered the restaurant no one attended us. I felt awkward and uncomfortable.... read more

Worst Mex food I ever ate! Lady at other table came by and said "I hope your food is better than mine". No it wasn't Mam!

Good place to go get the late night Mexican food you're craving. Large portions, good service and decent prices. I'm sure there are better Mexican restaurants in Portland, but this is definitely worth a try. read more

The Stark location has been a favorite of ours for many years. Many a Friday or Saturday evening would be there for a meal. We visited this past Tuesday evening, Christmas Eve. We found the music to be very very loud and not the regular style. The wait staff was very curt and not the usual friendly folks. It was a different staff than usual. The food was far less than par. The Premium Burrito was inedible. The steak was very chewy and laden with gristle. The veggies, beans, and rice were delicious and full of flavor. The meal was sent back and the wait staff was visibly upset by that act. We boxed up what was left of the other meal and went to the front to pay. The wait staffs attitude changed in not a good way. The usual wonderful friendly service disappeared very quickly. We paid and left. This was by far one of the worst experiences in a restaurant I've had. It's sad that this once wonderful place to go has fallen so far. The owner has neglected the building and it's upkeep. The bathrooms are horrendous. It's very odd that this location is so horrible when the Halsey location is far better in all ways. We will not be returning to the Stark location ever again. read more

Amazing customer service and exceptional care!! Food is amazing and staff is super generous and treats you like an actual person. I would highly recommend coming here at any time they're open. Amazing service!!! read more

To start of with, the food taste/quality salvaged this trip. Our service was AWFUL. We ordered our drinks (a pop and a beer) and it took almost 15 minutes to get them after we ordered. Our waiter came and took our order, which arrived relatively promptly, but he never came back to check on us or to get us refills until we were done eating. When that happened, I asked for a box and he never did bring that! We had to ask someone else. It wasn't even busy. We may go back again, in the hopes that last night was just a bad night. Hopefully the service will be much better. read more

One of my favorite restaurants . They offer very tasty food at a reasonable price. The portions are great. My favorite dish is the fajitas and would totally recommend it. The service is outstanding, very friendly, so leaving a tip is always a pleasure. read more

I was given a gift certificate for this place so my boyfriend and I thought we would give it a try. We sat in the bar, ordered our drinks and food. The bar tender acted like we were bothering him by being there we even tried to crack a couple jokes with him to lighten the mood.. Still had an attitude. Then to top it off the food ended up making my boyfriend sick. Definitely will not be going back. read more

service is horrible! waitress never comes and asks if everything is ok, takes forever getting you anything to drink, we use to like coming here. The food is great but service is bad. Don't think we will be back. read more

I love this place. The food and service are great. However, it's supposed to be open until 2 am and it's already closed at 12:30am. Did the hours change? read more

I went there with friends and family we took a couple bites and left. The food was absolutely disgusting the sauces were obviously expired.

El Indio is great. Try the Mexican Pizza. Yes it's an appetizer but it's definitely big enough for a meal. Anything with shredded beef is awesome. The staff is always super nice. Not sure why Yelp says they are closed on Sunday after 2:00pm I don't think they ever have been. It's 6pm and they are open now. read more

I've only been here twice and I am loving it. The staff is always really nice and friendly. They check up on us pretty often but not to the point where it's annoying. The food is very good too. This time I got the carnitas burrito and the meat was like melt in your mouth kind of meat. I can't wait to try other items on their menu! read more

Lunchtime, looked at our clipper coupons, decided to try this place! Heck, buy one lunch or dinner meal at regular price along with 2 drinks and get a meal free! Well, we bought 3 meals and drinks! We ordered off the lunch menu, it was 12:30 PM. Mix up on 1 lunch but corrected. Food was typical prepared generic Mexican, great chips and salsa! Gave coupon to server, was told we had to order off the dinner menu as the lunch one was a special menu excluded from coupon. Well, it didn't say anything about that, this was their regular lunch menu! So, big deal, we paid our $26 dollars plus tip! But hey, why pay to advertise then piss people off so they tell everyone and never come back? Tapitio on 242nd and Cherry Park in Troutdale honors their clipper coupons and actually has better food! read more

The is my go to for a relaxed Friday or even Saturday night. Wife enjoys to karaoke so she does her thing while I enjoy beer at a great price and staff is super friendly. The shrimp and steak fajitas probably my favorite dish. read more

The food itself was pretty good. The chicken was fresh and good. The service on the other hand, while friendly was extremely slow. Roughly 45 minutes to get your dinner with less than eight people in the entire restaurant. Forgot the refills for soda and water until prompted and just seemed overwhelmed with the volume, mind you eight tables and two servers. All in all good food, with much to improve in staffing levels. read more

Went for the "Monday/Tuesday: 2 combos for $14" deal last night. I was disappointed that there are several combos of the same price (that were better options) that weren't included in the deal. The food we got was good, as usual, but the service was really slow. We were the only ones sitting in the bar (had to watch football) so we were probably forgotten about several times. When we did get service they were quite pleasant. Will go back just because of the proximity to home. read more
