Authentic tacos and great small family place. Pretty much eat there atleast once a month when they're open.

Good food!!!! Could use a bit of cleaning in the front of the house. Food is good. I do recommend! read more

Just stopped in for a snack and, wow, glad we did. The carne asada burrito was outstanding. Took some street tacos to go and they were awesome, too. The team was very nice. Highly recommend. read more

Tacos González is THE spot! They treat you like family when you visit! The food is consistently delicious! No hit and miss with them- it's just always great! Just wish they had longer hours but it's family ran so they need to prioritize family! read more

Great tacos and other Mexican food. I think they put a little too much raw onion on top but that's just my preference. The food is good made fresh quick and relatively inexpensive. Love the salsas as well. read more

I've been coming to tacos Gonzalez since 2015. It has consistently had great service and quality food. I absolutely loved how they handled and continue to handle business during the COVID pandemic. This is my go to place for tacos, crinkle cut fries, carne asada burritos, breakfast bacon, egg potato burrito and chavelas. TL;DR consistently great food and service. read more

Authentic Mexican food- eat in pr take out. Best street tacos ( al pastor and chicken) and burritos. Great to go food- Comes with chips and green and red hot sauce read more

The hubs and I were passing through on the way to J-Tree and stopped in for a quick plate of steak fajitas and a taco. Holy cow!! This place is so good. So many regulars came in while we ate, which I feel like is a really good sign. The steak was really well seasoned and blackened. Some pieces were a tad dry, which I actually love lol. But the flavors were bar none. Best travel food decision I've made in a long time. 10/10 recommend! read more

Whoever gave this place any stars less than 5 must of been sick that day, because you will NEVER HAVE BETTER FOOD anywhere else! And on top of that- customer service to a T. Hands down always a good experience, treated better than family, and my tummy is always satisfied. Family owned and operated, and they like it that way, and so do we. read more

Good basic Mexican food, good people friendly. Gets busy call ahead to be sure they are open. They serve Mexican Coke Cola which I love with a taco. My husband always eats a burrito says they are good, I always order the tacos. They are small, Mexican city style. I highly recommend read more

Everything is good at this small business owner, 100% good all the time, super clean and healthy location

I've been going here for over two years now, this place literally does not compare to anywhere else. Whenever I'm back from college I always make it a point to go here at least once over break... one time I went every day for a week! I recommend the carne asada tacos, horchata, and their chips and salsa. Homemade and delicious, they never fail to disappoint. The staff is so nice and friendly, the restaurant is very clean, and the owners always say hello to me when I walk in. Very sweet and nice! This business is family run too! My dad would like to add that he thinks the chorizo is the best (but I always stick to my carne asada lol). read more

Tacos Gonzalez - The Carne Asada tacos! Yum! - Mexican Near Me - Indio, California

The best bean and cheese burritos ever! This is a must stop! Take these Togo and freeze!

Came in for quick bite to eat. Place was clean, fast service, employees were friendly. Chips we're not greasy , salsas were not watered down either as a previous review stated. I like that there is not a huge menu to look at. All three salsas we're good (tomato, tomatillo, chile de arbol) . I ordered the asada burrito. It was good but I was not wowed by it. The orchata was ok but nothing to rave about. I definitely would come back and try something else. read more

What a delightful gem in an unassuming corner location. Tacos Gonzalez serves up street tacos, burritos, crispy tacos and a few other mexican specialties in a warm and always busy environment. You can order at the counter or table (I believe) and you don't pay up front, even at the counter, as it is common to want more;-)! What a nice little upsell opportunity that I am sure pays off more often then not. We each ordered 3 various street tacos, as well as chips and guacamole. The chips and guac come with 3 additional sauces: green, mild red and spicy red, as well as limes and radishes. This sauce tray is lovely and what you don't eat with your chips is prime for all of your entrees. I had the chorizo, chicken and carne asada tacos. The chorizo was my favorite as it definitely had the most flavor, but all were really good. Service is prompt and super friendly and the prices are great! My only regret is I missed the crispy taco on the menu, but jealously eye'd it from a nearby table. I'll be getting that next time! read more

I was extremely surprised by this place. My beautiful friend recommended this place and I am SO VERY glad I tried it out. One would not think from the outside that this place would be so darn good -- but it is! I am Very discerning when it comes to tacos. I am a taco enthusiast. Normally I love King taco but that is only in select places such as Pasadena, Highland Park, etc. Down in the desert, however, there are actually a lot of taco places but hard to find amazing Carne Asada. I would highly recommend this place if you love yourself some great priced, amazingly flavorful tacos. Not to mention fabulous customer service and positive energies working with in! This is so super important to me. When a place has positive energy, due to the positive people who work there, you KNOW "positivity" is going in your belly! Enjoy!! read more

Some of the best tacos in the desert in my opinion! Truly enjoy going here with my friends and family.

Authentic food! Service was friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend! And return if ever in area again!

This taco place is really close to a Costco so that's nice. Service is very friendly. The street tacos are good but not amazing. But for Indio/La Quinta standards, the tacos were tasty. I wish they just had better sauce options. Tacos with just onions+cilantro+meat+tortilla is sort of bland to me..but maybe I'm too used to tacos from Tijuana and San Diego. The tripas were crispy and the chorizo wasn't too salty either. If I came back, I'd probably stick with the cabeza+tripas+chorizo. read more

My friends and I stopped here after we left our Coachella Air BnB. We were pretty tired from the weekend, and we wanted to eat breakfast before our long drive back to LA. I used Yelp for local eats, and once again, Yelp came through with this amazing and authentic tacos spot! Tacos Gonzalez is small inside, and all of the tables were mostly taken. We were still ordering, and we ended up standing around until another table finished and we could grab it. I was starving, so I ordered the Huevos Racheros breakfast platter. It includes 3 eggs, rice, and refried beans... and this plate was HUGE! They don't skimp on portions, and everything was hot and smothered in saucy (I love lots of sauce on my food)! Breakfast platters are only sold from 8 am- 2 pm, and my place was well worth the $9.99. I also shared from Street style tacos, sold a la cart at $1.89 each. I got one Al Pastor (marinated pork) and one Pollo asado (shredded chicken). I really enjoyed the pork taco because the meat was tender and flavorful. The chicken taco was on the dry side, which I remedied with the sauce from my breakfast platter, but alone, I wasn't amazed by it. The service is fast and they are very accommodating. Although we were only passing through the area, Tacos Gonzalez is a solid food stop in Indio. read more

What a gem! Super friendly waiter who was patient with our family of 5 that includes a 4 year old boy with autism (this means he'll may randomly wander or have meltdown). Food was delicious - bean and rice like moms - yum! Large portions - tastey chips and salsa. Chabela beer cocktails and two breakfast burritos for mom, dad, crispy taco plate and quesadillas plate for kids. (A Chabela is a beer cocktail like a michelada but with spicy tomato juice) They had no problem with my 4 year old sharing with his sisters and gave me an extra plate at no charge. We we're in town for a weekend getaway with the in-laws and this was a definitely pleasant surprise! Believe the reviews - We'll be back! read more

Taco Gonzales has been our go to mexican restsurant for years. The best in the valley

We used Tacos Gonzalez for catering our housewarming party yesterday. They are the best! Professional, set up was great and clean up was like they were never here! And the street tacos! Holy smokes! I've had street tacos everywhere and these are by far the best! Cooked right there on site, salsas are fantastic, rice and beans Alex was so nice and again, so professional! Everyone loved the food and service. They also packed up all the leftovers for us read more

I called in a taco order, as my wife was getting her hair did in close proximity. The reviews I read stated you may have to wait a while so I tried to time it out. Everything was seamless, as I walked in.....paid, and drove home. We each had Carne Asada & Al Pastor. They came with the fixings, along with a baggie of limes & radishes. The salsa looked like it was going to be interesting, but it was uneventful. The meats could have been seasoned a little better too. My problem is, I am comparing street tacos to those I had in Ensenada last summer at El Trailero. (Wasted thought) We will be back..... read more

My girlfriend and I were looking for something to eat before the long trek home after Coachella. Tacos Gonzalez is a tiny shop, I mean, really tiny. I almost thought that I wouldn't get a seat to eat my food. Good thing a majority of the people were ordering to-go. You order up at the cashier, then find a table to sit at. There were a lot of people standing near our table waiting for us to finish, so it was a bit uncomfortable. We ordered 8 street tacos, which came out to around $18, a little pricey, given that I usually get these street tacos for around $1 at home. Food took around 20-30 minutes to come out, which was pretty slow. Tacos were pretty good though, salsa is a little lacking in flavor. I'm sure they messed up on our order because I didn't get my lengua taco. Decent taco joint in Indio, gets the job done. read more

Had some fajitas and they were fantastic. Rice and refried beans were great too. I don't like corn tortillas generally, but theirs were the best corn tortillas I've had. Service was wonderful. My only knock on the place is it's a funky location parking wise (still worth the awesome food ) and they still aren't allowing people to eat in as of 4/27/21. Highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

Everything about Tacos Gonzalez was AMAZING!! Fresh, flavorful and delicious. The family that owns this taco shop are very friendly. We were lucky enough to get a table for 2. We will stop every time we are in Indio. We both opted for tacos considering their name. We had carne asada and al pastor tacos and loved every bite. Highly recommend this place. read more

Great tacos, excellent California burrito. The business hours are occasionally sporadic and they're closed for a portion of the summer.

We'd visited the area twice in the last few months (from up north) and I'd had Tacos Gonzalez on my radar and list both times. So we went there to get street tacos on a recent Tuesday ("Taco Tuesday" most places). I checked the website before going, as it was not close to where we were staying. Pictures and reviews and menu all looked great. Not driving 8 miles, unless it's worth it. We ordered an assortment of various street tacos --- carne asada, al pastor, pollo. We live next door to a taqueria at home, and I've been cooking Mexican food for my family for 50 years (including tacos) so we have high standards. We were hoping for something of the same quality (and volume) as our next door taqueria, which has Taco Tuesday for $1.59. Packed full and very tasty, with the works. Our order was To Go, of course, with no indoor dining. Order came in a small brown bag, handed to us. Hmmm. I'm used to a massive plate (or two plates to separate the different kinds of meat) at my taqueria when I order 4 tacos. Also --- the website said street tacos were $1.99 each. The menu on the wall at Tacos Gonzalez had been altered with a black pen to $2.09. No discount for Taco Tuesday. I knew we were in trouble, with the small brown bag. It had been a hot, long day so we just drove home. I wasn't about to take it apart there, while people were waiting in line behind me and I'm a guest in the desert. Eight mile drive back to our lodging --- opened the little brown bag and the aluminum foil. Four tiny tortillas (the "tiny" is expected) folded up in half with very little meat in each --- around a tablespoon full. I had bought flour tortillas at Vallarta Supermarket the day before, so I scraped everything in all four little corn tortillas into one 8-in flour tortilla to make a meal. Hardly any meat in any of them. Also, it was tasteless, compared to our neighborhood taqueria. I had to put some cheese and salsa from my fridge and extra onions into the flour tortilla to boost the flavor. This is the only time we've been there and haven't sampled other dishes, but we won't return, based on that experience. The postitive reviews surprise me, especially on the street tacos. Fortunately, we did find other great Mexican restaurants in the Valley. I would give this place a one-star, except for the setting was sweet and the staff was friendly, plus I can tell the cooks are working hard as you can see the kitchen from where you order take-out. read more

The best street tacos around & fast & homemade food. A little on the spendy side when you add the tacos up but so worth it And their homemade Menudo on Sunday's is like home read more

I was in Indio for the Date festival and was looking for some good food. I found Taco Gonzalez on Yelp and went on a Thursday evening. Mr and Mrs Gonzalez were friendly, personable, charming, and just overall great. Service was top notch and the food was delicious. We then returned on Friday afternoon for more delicious food. The cost was very valuable. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Some of the best tacos I've ever had!! I tried Tacos Gonzalez in December when I was visiting Joshua Tree. I am a bit of a taco connoisseur so I had pretty high expectations. I was completely blown away!! Easily some of the best tacos I've ever had. The carnitas were a standout. The flan was super good, as well. I ordered at the cash register and service was friendly. They were a little busy but they got to my order in a reasonable amount of time. It was takeout only due to COVID. Overall, 5 stars and I still think about these tacos all the time. They were that good. Please visit this great local business the next time you're in the area. read more

Very small friendly place with great food. I usually get the carne assada street tacos but everything I've tried has been great.

Decided to try this spot during my lunch break. I love tacos and am pretty picky about genuine taco spots around the area. These tacos were delicious; fresh, economical! The burrito is yummy too and comes with cheese . This place has a new loyal customer in me. read more

Great family run authentic Mexican restaurant. They are wonderful along with the food. Nice, small, clean, quiet place to have some of the best lengua street tacos I have ever had. read more

We moved to the desert three years ago and we have consistently come back again and again to Tacos Gonzalez. For me, the beans and rice are the best I've had in The Valley. Their tacos al pastor and chicken enchiladas are so good. We probably eat here at least once a week. Best to call in your order in advance as the wait can get long during COVID. The staff are always friendly and efficient! read more

We choose this restaurant based on reviews but were very disappointed. The tacos were not very flavorful and dry. My chorizo taco tasted so bad I had to spit it out, the meat didn't taste right at all! They charge $1.50 for barely any chips but the guacamole was good. My husband had gone before and had the torta, he was disappointed with the taste of the meat and the fact that they don't use a real piece of good sized meat, they use the same small bits as the tacos. He too said he didn't like the restaurant, but he only told me that after I told him about my experience. I asked him why he sent me there and he said because my son likes the fries in the burrito. Glad my son liked it but I felt it was a waste of money. The service was nice but not someplace we'd visit again. read more
