  Quick spot for some traditional Mexican street tacos, food, and drinks. You order at the counter and they call your number when the food is ready. We went on a busy Saturday afternoon and the food came out pretty quickly.
  
  Hubby got the chicken and steak tacos. They are tiny so order 4-5 if you are really hungry. They are 1.25-1.50 a piece. I wanted something simple so I got a cheese quesadilla which comes with a salad, guacamole, and sour cream.
  
  They have a salsa and toppings bar as well. We like spicy sauces and they had a couple of good options. The habanero was pretty good.
  
  I also recommend getting one of their drinks. I got the Jamaica drink which is a slightly spiced hibiscus drink.

  This place can fill up quickly depending on the hour. There are other options in the area that said not really sure why this place on several visits does so much buisness?
  The tacos are the smallest you will ever eat, at $1.30 sounds like a bargin right? Wrong. All tacos are served with cilantro, onions and limes unless requested otherwise. Know that size wise the circumference is of a small orange.
  
  Sopes can be ordered either chicken or beef served with tomatoes, lettuce and cheese.
  Know you will need to pick it up and eat it or ask for metal silverware to cut through these here. The plastic silverware just bends and cannot cut through the finished product.
  The dough is to thick and hard. Anyone following me knows I have a "thing" for sope I just don't enjoy them here.
  A small cart is out that has two different sauces a green and a red, pickled onions, radishes, carrots and peppers.

  Looking for a simple and tasty bite of Mexican Cuisine? Look no further than Beaver Ruin's El Indio! For the less than $2.00 price point, El Indio's tacos are to die for.
  
  Above the register is a huge picture menu, showing you exactly what you get when you order. The interior is very rudimentary and simple but is just what you need when stopping by for a casual bite to eat. The condiments bar has a few delicious salsa and your necessary assortment of limes, carrots, radishes, and onions!
  
  Service is ultra quick, but be listening and ready for your order to be read out, sometimes its read in Spanish, so hopefully you still remember some from grade school language classes! All jokes aside, it's very obvious when your food is ready.
  
  Asada and chorizo are my two go to tacos. You will not be disappointed! Flavor is so simple yet so good. Make sure you get onions and cilantro on top for the perfect balance of fresh and savory.
  
  Albondigas here is phenomenal. Such a complex and deep flavored stew of Mexican goodness!
  
  I've come back so many times and will be coming many more!

  If you are looking for true, authentic Mexican food, this place fits the bill! Everything is mostly in Spanish, but the cashier will help you if you have any questions. FYI - it is a picture menu for everyone wondering what they're ordering.
  
  I really only came to get some chicken pozole - my favorite Mexican soup. My bowl was filled, I mean, FILLED to the brim with whole chicken pieces (pretty sure my bowl had half a chicken in there). The broth is super flavorful. It is fairly priced, and everything else on the menu looks really appetizing. I didn't order anything else since I was only in the mood for soups, but will definitely come back to try some dollar tacos. Who doesn't like dollar tacos?! There's also a solid salsa bar for those ordering some chips!

  Loved every bite of the tacos.
  Steak and beef tongue is the way to go~
  
  Place was big enough and plenty of tables. Theres a small salsa bar for some veggies and salsa.
  
  Get there early cause you will be in a line. Its not a bad wait but it gets busy just FYI.
  
  Tacos are the cheapest but than again its smaller than usually. $1.35 for a taco and you can add sour cream, guacamole, etc for a bite extra.
  
  Before you wait in line, go to the counter and pick up a menu so you can decide what you want. There is so much to offer.
  
  Would I come back? Of course!
