Mr. and Mrs. Humberto and Graciela Sanchez are the current proprietors of El Indio Tortilleria Inc. They came to this country in 1971 (respectively) and worked very hard throughout that initial year. It was a difficult transition for many reasons one being that they were both Lawyers in their country of Morelia, Michoacán which is located in the central region of Mexico. It was like starting all over for them, but they have always met challenges head on. It was around 1972 that Mr. Sanchez found an employment with the original owners of this establishment, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar and Irene Romos, and began that new journey. Mr. Romos, after having served in WW II, established El Indio Tortilleria in 1948 and for several decades, through hard work, was able to root the company into a small but growing industry. By 1979, Romo/Sanchez had integrated some good ideas to lift the overall prestige of the company, however, it took a great deal of hard work and sacrifice to obtain the success that eventually came.
From 1979-1985 Sanchez/Romo were able to consolidate such a great working relationship that it eventually led to Mr. Sanchez in becoming the sole proprietor of El Indio Tortilleria Inc in 1985. It had always been Mrs. Sanchez's idea to bring the Company location to Orange County and specifically to Santa Ana; so, 2001 it was moved from Los Angeles and relocated to Orange County where it has thrived for the last 10 years. Success hasn't come easy for Mr. Sanchez, but his perseverance and belief in quality of product and service have proven to be an effective formula for his achievement.

The food is good. Love the chile rellenos. The cashiers are NOT friendly at all. But the back staff is. One lady served my toddler "sopita aguada" without me asking. She was really nice (she worked in the back).

my partner and i have been to El Indio twice for fresh tortillas and fresh tortilla chips; both times we were not let down. Since finding out about El Indio a couple of months ago, we have been here to pick up the tortilla essentials for special occasions (Cinco de Mayo, etc.).

I was not satisfied with customer service. I was not even greeted by the employees who were on the counter. The food was not as good as I thought it would be.

I've only been here twice but this place made me a fan instantly . Quality and quantity are excellent and the prices are beyond cheap! I've only ordered the chicharron en salsa roja with hand made tortillas and a side of sour cream and it was bomb.com. Try it out you won't regret it!

This is an awesome hole in the wall. If you want real authentic home made Mexican food. this is it! The dinning area is very small and El Indio is located right in the barrio. You can not get more Mexican than this in the estados unidos. Hand made homemade corn tortillas. mmmm! The senoritas there are like familia. They treated us very well.
