Elana R.Elana Roth: Stop by el Indio first, buy some guacamole and add it to your soft shell crab and seared ahi tacos and you've got yourself the perfect meal. Come around 3pm to miss the lunch and dinner crowd.

Randy H.Randy H.: Stick with the grilled section of the menu (had the excellent grilled shrimp). Their fried stuff (lobster, soft shelled crab, fish and chips) are OK.
