El Indio De Tijuana Taco Shop

Absolutely my favorite Mexican food of all time! I’ve been going to “The Barrel” for 30+ years!!! Their salsa, I hate to admit, is comparable in greatness to my own salsa. It’s changed recently with the changing of cooks, but it’s still an awesome stop any time!!!
Current pics on my 7/20/21 visit. Still rocking the best Mexican after 45 years!!!

Been eating here for almost 10 years. Prices are good and the food is always fresh and tasty. It’s cash only, so make sure you bring some cash with you.

Have been coming here for years! I Love love love their carne asada burritos the only place I would go for them!! Great place recommend 100%
CASH ONLY!

I love this place and I been coming to this place as a kid and even now I still love this place. I love the people vary polite and speed in service. I recommend this place and great drinks. I hope this place never close down.

Thus far, they make the best Fajita Burritos in North County! I travel from Oceanside to Escondido at least once a week just to get that particular burrito, especially. It's been that way for the past 20 years.

Amazing shrimp burrito! Never had that before.

Been living here my whole life, but don't think I've ever been here before. Was blown away by the deliciousness! I highly recommend! The atmosphere is actually pretty cool. An amazing place for a late night taco.

Green sauce is spicy! Ingredients are fresh and quality and price is great!

This is an Awesome Place to Eat!
The food is Homemade, Amazing stuff! The staff is always Friendly 🥰 Escondido, Ca Best place to eat!
I my husband and I used to frequently eat here at least one a week if not more! Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner. Simply Amazing Food!
I really miss coming here.

When you drive 43 miles for amazing food! Their beans are cooked slowly and to perfection! It's a must have! Their chili rellenos are crispy even with the sauce!

Carne asada burritos are the best anywhere. Today is the first time I have a shrimp burrito and it was the best I ever have. Be sure and get the fries, and eat them in your car while you go home. I been going here for more than 20 years, and the same people are still there. Everyone i know call it the "Barrell". It looks like a flower stand, but it really is the best taco shop around.

I've been eating here since I was a kid in the 80s and it's always been one of my favorite Mexican food spots. Best bean & cheese Burrito ever & super friendly staff.

This little taco shop has been around since I have been a teenager. They have been serving consistently good Mexican food for decades. Stop by today and got the carne asada burrito and my son got carne asada fries which wasn't on the menu. Both were just, fresh and really tasty. If you find yourself driving by Broadway and mission and you're hungry, you definitely will not go wrong. Just make sure you have cash. Enjoy

Honestly way better than I expected! Traditional Californian Mexican food ! Was so good!!!

Some may say from outward appearance that there's nothing special about this place, but once you try the food you'll be pleasantly surprised. It wasn't as greasy as some taco shops tend to be, but the flavor was definitely on point and the service was top notch in my opinion

Thats right, been coming here for more the 35 years! Same owners, different chef! Same taste! The best carne asada burrito around! Simple, meat guacamole and lettuce, no need for pico de gallo! Wow a little dive of a place. Only outside seating and no bathrooms, but holy smokes is it worth it. We had traditional crispy shredded beef taco with cheese enchilada. Just fantastic. A must stop.

Best Red Salsa for any burrito. The Bean and Cheese burrito is magic I have never been able to find another bean and cheese that stands up to El Indios. I would say the only comment i have is that I wish the burritos were larger like most other places.

Great Mexican food. The difference is the Burrittos instead of Pico de Gallo they substitute it with lettuce which has a destink taste to it and delicious

The burritos and carne asada tacos were spectacular ✨ Beyond delicious enjoyed every bite ✨

Walking distance from Toyota Escondido. If you're waiting to get serviced I'd recommend walking over. Carne asada burrito and Horchata was on point. Cash only but the dealership has an ATM.
