" What a wonderful surprise! I stumbled upon Carnitas El Indio while searching for a place to eat with friends. The food is simply amazing – the fajitas were seasoned to perfection and the salsa was nice and spicy. The restaurant has a lively vibe with sports on TV, making it perfect for a casual outing. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a good meal in a friendly setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great ambience and tasty food, though it didn't blow me away. I had the chille relleno and felt that the flavor was there, but the presentation could have used some work. The service was friendly and the staff seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the food. I noticed the prices were slightly high compared to what you get, which might deter some customers. Overall, it’s a solid choice for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carnitas El Indio after hearing friends rave about their dishes. The beans were rich and creamy, but I found the portions slightly smaller than I expected, especially for the price. The chille relleno didn't impress me as much as I had hoped either; it seemed overly salty. Still, the environment felt warm and welcoming, and the staff was quite attentive. I would consider returning to try something new, but I think there’s room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been living in South Bay for years, yet I only discovered Carnitas El Indio last month. What a hidden gem! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with an aroma that transports you straight to Mexico. The menu had an impressive selection, and I decided on the chille relleno and the beans. To my astonishment, the chille relleno was generously stuffed, bursting with flavor. I also appreciated the generous portion of beans served on the side. However, I did feel that my server was a little rushed, which made the experience slightly less enjoyable. Overall, a solid place for those seeking authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic dinner experience! The service was prompt, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I ordered the chicken enchilada, and it was delectable. The flavors blended seamlessly, and the dish was beautifully presented. Although I noticed a small oversight in my order not being correct, the staff quickly fixed it with a smile, which is always appreciated. I would definitely recommend Carnitas El Indio to anyone looking for tasty Mexican food in a lively atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner here with my partner, and while the food was decent, it didn't quite meet our expectations. We tried the carne asada burrito, and though it tasted fine, it felt overpriced for a relatively small portion. The atmosphere was decent but not particularly cozy. Service was a bit inattentive as my drink orders were forgotten at one point. Overall, a mixed bag, and I’m not sure if I’ll be hurrying back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was quite disappointed with my visit to Carnitas El Indio. I’ve heard so many good things, but my experience didn’t live up to the hype. I ordered a carne asada burrito, expecting a burst of flavor, but it lacked seasoning. Plus, it felt overpriced for what I received. The service was okay, but the atmosphere of the restaurant was a bit cramped, making the dining experience less enjoyable. I hope they can improve on these aspects because I would love to see them succeed! " (*Curated Review*)
