Macario's is a little out of the way and lacks great curb appeal but don't let that stop you from dropping in for a meal. While there are many typical American Mexican dishes (fajitas and so on) the menu does have many traditional dishes which are worth trying. The portions are huge (a large bowl of tortilla soup and a platter were way too much for me), the prices cheap and the service excellent. We have been here a number of times and have yet to be disappointed. Watch for the daily specials which on Saturdays includes their margaritas.

Huertas Restaurant

Reviewed By bartr

We wandered in here at about 9 p.m. and were welcomed warmly. We ate light; the house special flautas and a quesdilla con crema, both excellent. Enjoyed the wood-carved Mexican scenes on the furnishings that show a commitment to style and culture. Judging by the other patrons, it's a local favorite place.

Tacos Gonzalez

Reviewed By TrekkerOH2017

We visited Indio, California for a few days in November. We arrived close to midnite. On the way back to the airport, we were thinking about eating something lite. Our google search found Tacos Gonzales and we decided to venture there.We had tacos only, pastor, carne asada and chorizo. They are served in fresh, small size corn tortillas topped with onion and cilantro. Each bite was a trip to heaven and back. The staff was extremely professional and friendly. The waiting time was minimal.The next morning, before heading to Joshua Tree National park we made another stop for late breakfast. This time, my picky eater, fast food-eating 10 year old was hungry and ordered chicken tacos (no onion). The expression on his face was priceless after he took the first bite.He then started asking for Tacos Gonzales for every single meal until the day we left.I highly recommend you try this place, but warn you that it may be a little addictive.

Met Andrew Mgr. when he talks food he makes your mouth water and you can't wait to eat it. As a Chef I can tell you it is good!he recommend the shrimp stuffed yellow chilies with mayo lemon soy sauce, sounds strange I know but WOW it was fantastic. Next the grilled fish tacos yum the best, and there beans ( Peruvian ) are amazing. The best Churros I have ever had.Great happy hour,Ashlely the bartender makes a mean Margarita.

Reviewed By Jim K

Stopped for lunch. Good sized menu with lots of choices. The food tasted very bland to me and needed more spice or ?. I was not offered a choice of beans-came with refried. Tamales were only offered in pork.The service was fast and friendly. Full bar and good sized Margaritas. Prices are the same as others in area.

Returned after a year absence on a crowded Friday night. Prompt, friendly service and inspite of having only two servers covering a full dining room all our needs were attended to.Our orders were properly prepared, hot and very tasty.Authentic Mexican food a cut above the chain restaurants. 6 or 7 visits with no disappointments.
