Restaurant Indio




Linda and I tried Indio, a new Mexican Restaurant in Minneapolis. Indio tries to be like Masa, but at least on this ocassion, it didn’t make it. The Margaritas were made with regular mix. The food was better than average, but not great. The appetizers took forever to arrive. We ordered a mushroom Tlayuda and a Guacamole. The tlayuda, a Mexican thick tortilla with a vegetarian topping was the better of the two. The Guacamole was nothing more than chinks of not-quite-ripe avocado and tomato. The chips were very average. Then we ordered  the Pescado Maya and the Olmeca. The Olmeca, is described as  Seared Ling Cod served with a roasted red pepper flauta, in a huitlacoche sauce, sautéed spinach and a chayote jicama slaw. The fish wasn’t that bad, the sauce made out of huitacloche, a fungus that grows on corn was also good. Unfourtunatelly the color of the sauce is not very appetizing, so they would need to work on presentation.  The Pescado Maya,  Achiote marinated Corvina served with parsley rice, jicama tomato salad, Morita chile sauce, garnished with pineapple salsa was too sweet and the rice was cold and uneadible.
