It had literally been decades since the last time I went to Indita, and that was at their old location on 4th. I absolutely love their new digs! Spacious patio area, with cool lights, umbrellas, and many tables. If you have a choice and it isn't too hot, sit outside. The food is stellar! I got their ranch style flat enchilada, which is more or less a thick masa topped with enchilada flavors and spices. So yummy. (And it's vegetarian too!) The rest of the table (3 more) ordered the green chicken enchiladas. They didn't need to rave about it: their plates were completely clean at the end of the meal! We ordered Tamarindo and Horchata drinks between us, and frankly, the Tamarindo is some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Service can be a little slow, especially if they're busy. But we didn't really mind. It was a nice experience. read more

Excellent food in an unassuming restaurant. Being unfamiliar with the area, we passed this place twice and almost didn't go in. But I'm glad we did! Their back patio looks super cute for warmer nights and the food was great. Little bit of a wait but the friendly servers got us sat as soon as possible at 7pm Saturday. Salsa and chips were tasty, the carne asada was excellent. The corn tortillas are thick and perfectly charred. The green enchiladas were good too. The sauce was thicker than usual, but that's probably the Native fusion instead of being just Mexican enchiladas. So glad we stopped in, we ate every bite. Forgot to take a picture until I was half through! read more

The parking is kind of small but they have a cool yard to sit at if you choose to do so it was 90 something outside so I opted for inside. I was seated immediately the staff were warm and provided good insight into what to get. I had the carne seca and I was a little thrown off by it but not bad at all. I would definitely get the tarscan taco again. read more

Great food, fantastic outdoor dining. Truly a one of a kind experience in a town full of diverse dining options. We will be back many more times. read more

Not sure how I have not left a review for La Indita yet. One of my Tucson favorites and in my opinion a must visit for guests in Tucson from out of town. I love their mole, their fresh corn masa dough and the crispy tacos. Everything is made from scratch. They seem like a really nice family too. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite! read more

What a great find! The food was a little different since the cooking style is a blend of Mexican and Tohono O'odham flavors but tasty for sure. We enjoyed the deep flavors of the red enchiladas with barbacoa and the house made chorizo with eggs. Yummy! The service was good and friendly. The building feels quite old and could use a little updating especially the bathroom but very cute and welcoming. read more

La Indira never disappoints. Flavors are excellent; that chicken mole is so delicious, the enchiladas are great, and the Indian taco never disappoints. Their margaritas are also really good and hit the spot in summer! I haven't eaten inside because the patio is so lovely and their giant umbrellas do a great job of providing shade that I always choose to eat outside. I can't remember the name of the older gentleman who plays music and sings but he's amazing! I love the chill, relaxed vibe of the patio, like hanging out a cool friend's place. But as outstanding as the food is, what really makes this place special is the staff. Everyone seems to enjoy where they work, which in the service industry is so rare, and they treat clients like friends and family. They're always looking for ways to make your experience better & make special occasions even more special. This level of attention and love for the community doesn't go unnoticed and their support of folks who work Tucson better for everyone means this restaurant will always be on my list of local treasures. read more

La Indita - Fresh chips - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This place is cute. There was a wedding going on so outside was reserved. There was a bit of a wait but the hostess offered to make us cocktails and they were so sweet to offer. Even asking us what kind of flavors we liked. My drink was strong and yummy! Very good house marg. They offered complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was very fresh but bland. It needed salt and maybe better more fragrant tomatoes. I go the combo plate. It came with a beef taco, chicken enchilada with a pea based green sauce and chile relleno. Chile relleno was mid. I wouldn't get again. No real strong flavors. The taco was AMAZING I could have done a plate of those. The chicken enchilada was ok. It was also bland. Although the green sauce for peas was interesting it just didn't have enough flavor and zing. Our waiter did let us try both green and red but I went with green bc red was even less flavorful. The mole is supposed to be very good so I may try that with a friend one day. I would come back for tacos but probably not much else. read more

This restaurant has been serving incredible food since the year I was born in 1983. We got there right when they opened at 5pm and it was packed within 10 minutes. Amazing community support for a long-time locally owned spot! We ordered the horchata, a cheese quesadilla, Indian tacos, and the beef burro with sides of rice and beans. Everything was perfectly cooked. It was our first time trying the Indian tacos and it will definitely not be the last. We sat inside the cozy space, but the outdoor patio is so spacious and welcoming. We can't wait to go back in the spring to enjoy the weather! read more

I've always driven by this restaurant and wondered was it was. The parking lot is always so packed. And I'm so glad I finally went to check it out. It's so yummy! This place is so cute. I love sitting on patio when the weather is perfect. Service is quick and attentive. The food is sooo good and doesn't take too long. Sometimes there is live music outside. I ordered the chalupas and my boyfriend got carne seca burro. Was soooooo good! read more

La indita is right off Stone, the parking is in the back of the building with access from the front and back of the building which is nice! We opted to sit outside and had great service with chips, salsa and water immediately on our table. The salsa was on the runnier side with the perfect kick of heat. Chips seem to be made in house and delicious. My husband got a chicken tamale with red sauce and the rice and beans. The tamale was sooo good! The red sauce was interesting there was a lot of oregano which gave it more of a pizza sauce type of flavor which other reviews have mentioned which I definitely understand now. I had the green chicken enchiladas which had the same type of beans and rice. The meat was almost dry but not bad, the tortillas definitely seemed to be made in house. The green sauce was not what I've had from other Tucson restaurants definitely set them apart from other places but isn't what I was expecting flavor wise. Overall the sauces didn't match the dishes to me. The red sauce was very oregano and gave it a pizza flavor, the chicken in the enchiladas wasn't the best. Service was great! Would come back to try some other dishes. read more

Oooooooohweeeeeee I think I've died and gone to food heaven . This restaurant has everything I look for in a favorite. Ambiance , great service , local , low key , good vegan menu , vibes , indoor & outdoor and most of all fantastic food. Indita delivers up a so many mouth watering options you'll have trouble deciding. Make sure you try the guac , It's the best I've had in town so far! Almost everything can be made vegan on the menu . The beans aren't cooked in lard & they don't use chicken bouillon. read more

I love La Indita's food and atmosphere so much. The chips and salsa are delicious with the perfect levels of savory and spice. The Indian taco is a delicious meal in itself, as it's surprisingly hearty. The chicken enchiladas with green sauce are decadent -- I need the green sauce on tap at my house! It has an amazing garlicky flavor that I can't get enough of. The jalapeño margarita is fresh with a solid kick. Service is always friendly, and I love the homey feel of the location. It's a go-to for a comfort meal! read more

La Indita - Indian Taco - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

If you're looking for authentic Sonoran-style food, look no further! It's a blend of authentic Mexican and Native American cuisine. This is a local family-owned restaurant serving family recipes. One of the lovely owners came in while we were dining. She's in her 90's now, and originally started her business well over 30 years ago. She still makes the tamales here to this day. AMAZING! I discovered this on the last day of our week long stay in Tucson, but if I found this place sooner, I would've eaten here every single day! The highlight for me was the Indian Taco. It's not an ordinary taco. Instead, it's an open face puffy fried flatbread, commonly known as Indian fry bread. I look for Indian fry bread every time I'm in Texas and Arizona. This definitely ranks as one of the best. It's covered with beans, beef and red Chile (Tohoro O' Odaham style, from the Native American tribe originally from the Sonoran dessert). I was so obsessed with their Indian fry bread that I also got a got dessert, which was the fry bread topped with honey with cinnamon sugar on the side (Can't recall the name. Maybe popover? It's very similar to a sopapilla). The chips are the perfect thickness. Not too thin, but just thick enough to hold up to scooping up beans, etc. Very friendly and helpful service. read more

I love La Indita. The food is delicious and service always fast and friendly. I appreciate the light eaters menu, as the portions are big and I'm not always in the mood for leftovers. Mt go-to is the chicken taco or cheese enchilada, or a combo plate with both. La Indita is one of the best. read more

Menu may look familiar but flavor profile very different given Tohono O'Odham & Purépecha recipes and influence. Purép?what-- Wiki lift ...had to look it up too; "a group of Indigenous people centered in the northwestern region of Michoacán, Mexico, mainly in the area of the cities of Cherán and Pátzcuaro". Sauces are their strength. From table Salsa, more clay earthy vs bright tomato red flavor & color to Vibrant Green and Deep Red, Christmas Sauce +$3.50 over Hubby's Carne Seca Chimicanga $16 (no sides), found unusual balance that doesn't evoke others dishes tried. Carne Seca had a good beef flavor but El Charro being our standard, has more intense beefiness and better. Same for the thicker pumpkin orange refrieds and very veggie--potato corn onion rice sides with my combo $19 of enchiladas, 1 Spinach, 1 Mushroom, 1 Potato Taco. Was expecting more from the enchiladas; spinach definitely iron forward and mushroom which tasted of its namesake but even though understood they were crimini & whites, I still imagined oyster & king flavors, wanting & hoping their flavors would push me around a bit to take notice. The Taco did so, the unassuming star, stuffed to the brim with the lowly but fantastic tasty taters! Corn tortillas are house made and make for extra delicious thick fresh tortilla chips, brought as you are seated, refilled as needed as is the table salsa, perfect. Beer is bottled only, $6 Sol, and margarita was fresh made and very tasty $10 served in a glass a bit larger than a whiskey . On a cooler evening, we still opted to sit on the patio as it's so inviting and open vs the dining room which is narrow and dark but a very traditional adobe feel if you are going for full authentic experience. Servers are very friendly and turned on heaters as needed. Women-owned, in business since 1979, they are doing something right :D Come see for yourself! read more

Age here with a friend a couple weeks ago and I have to say the standout here was the service. We got drinks while we waited for a table, which really seemed to go by quickly. The host (I think it was) that brought our drinks was so fun and kind. Our server was so patient and helpful. I got the green enchilada meal. It was good. read more

La Indita a relatively small but not casual seating w/ outdoor patio in back. Where parking is available and also entrance to inside dining through it's outdoor patio. Have been twice with different Spanish speaking friends and ancestry enjoyed as well, Myself being of gringa decent lol. Would like to say they had some of the best tasting Mexican food I've got to really really enjoy. Great service, knowledgable and friendly but professional servers, and chef on the mark with flavor and portion size. Chips and salsa both great and only one of the many Mexican restaurants I've frequented, and it was unnecessary for me to ask for additional heat for their salsa provided w/chips. Theirs had a good balance appeared to be homemade a rarity in most places to a degreee. So if you're on your way downtown on Stone and getting hungry be sure to stop in you won't be disappointed. read more

The service here was great! We sat outside and enjoyed the sun, and the food was delicious. It wasn't like, FANTASTIC, but it was solid. There is parking in the back which is great and easy for accessibility. I would probably rate this place 3.5 stars, I would try some other items but wasn't overly impressed with what we got. The salsa was super runny, my dad asked for a hotter salsa so they made something for him which was really nice and cool. read more

Solid food, solid drink, friendly service. After hearing they have great vegan options, my non-vegan partner and I decided to try La Indita for dinner. They're open on Sunday evenings, when other places aren't, so that's a bonus as well. I didn't want a huge platter of heavy foods, so I made my own with sides from the menu. I got the side of beans, calabacitas, and a guacamole tostada. This is basically my way of making a veggie nacho plate without a giant plate of chips that would likely result in me overeating. The beans were some of the best I've had. The guac tostada was STACKED with guac, plus some cabbage and red sauce. The calabacitas were good and added a nice light touch to the plate. I tried the rice on my partner's dish and didn't love it. I'd get double the beans on a future visit though. The lime margarita was also really good, really fresh tasting and a nice portion. I'd definitely go back to explore more of their vegan options. read more

Wonderful staff, great food, sitting outside is fantastic. The owner is doing something really right.

Boo. Waited & Waited to be seated. Ignored totally. Then told to wait and there are clearly tables available. Then a rather large lady comes in the front door and moves a table around so she can seat herself - Shame on you if you are family or owner and left two paying clients wait in the front. We finally got tired of being ignored and walked out. Disappointing as we dine here often and always send out of town visitors to La Indita. read more

I was honestly surprised how much I loved the mole here, it was excellent! The flavor was that deep blend of spice that lingers as you eat it. I would have enjoyed just a bowl of this. The tortilla it came with could only have been homemade right before. The perfect meal paired with one of their Jamaica drinks. The service was quick and efficient and the outdoor patio was quite enjoyable. Will be returning!! read more

So food is delicious but service is not good. read more

First impression entering from the back patio was really nice! The atmosphere was peaceful and the music was soft. People seated were happy and engaged in quiet conversation. My son and I were seated right away. We both ordered Indian taco/popovers, my son ordered tortilla soup and soda along with it. I had a lime margarita. The margarita was light on the alcohol, didn't notice any, but it was tasty. The Indian tacos were very good, especially the frybread. The chili was not hot, which is how I like it. My son's tortilla soup was to die-for though! I will definitely order this soup next time! The nachos and salsa that was brought to the table initially was good, too. Nachos were nice and crisp! Service was excellent with the servers coming to ask us what else we needed often. It was nice to know they valued our patronage and wanted to make sure we were having a nice experience! Thank you! We will be back! read more

Delicious food. Nice employees. Beautiful little restaurant. Wish I lived in Tucson so I could go again and again.

I gave them 5 stars so I can feel to share my opinion I got mine to go, service was impeccable, friendly. The packaging was very nice, as well One item I ordered was the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. The amount of green sauce was nothing like in the picture. There was no sauce surrounding the enchiladas, just confined to the top. Perhaps there is a need to go light on to-go orders? Probably not, but if that's the case they could offer green sauce in a small container. Anyway, I think most of us like more sauce than was in my order I was also surprised how light it was on the beans and rice, especially the rice. Rice is cheap, and beans are fairly cheap, too, so I did not understand why it was so light on these, especially since it's not an inexpensive dish. Also less than the menu pic. They gave a ton of chips, most of which I threw away. I would have preferred to have had more food on my plate and no chips at all. read more
