We ordered a few weekends ago over the phone for pick up and specifically said that we wanted no beans in the burrito because my daughter was allergic to them but even after them repeating the order back saying no beans AND the box having written no beans the burrito still had beans! We are very disappointed and won't be coming back, this is the second time this has happened! read more

We first tried the papusas from 3 in 1 from the Carmel farmers market. We loved them then and the restaurant! I'd skip the dessert empanadas but absolutely loved the papusas again. Bean and cheese was my favorite! The restaurant was clean and the service was great! read more

Delicious tamales and pupusas. We are rarely in this area of Indy, but I wish I was more often so I can further explore the menu at 3 in 1. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a small dining area and service is friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'd guess that takeout is a large part of their business, but it was a nice dining experience eating in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommended! read more

Beef Empanadas. The food here is great! Our first introduction was awhile ago and we keep going back. I've recently introduced my coworkers and we've already returned. Beef empanadas. Gluten free options are all over this menu which is a delight for our family. (Beef empanadas.) From the street tacos, to pupusas, to yuca fries, to empanadas, it's all great. Lots of meat options and delivery vehicles. The tamales are also good for a change. If you want the best thing on the menu though, it's beef empanadas. They may tell you the best seller on the menu is the G.O.A.T. pupusa. But that beef empanada is where it's at. We usually do carry out but it's not a bad place to sit for dinner and their service has always been very friendly. Finally, in conclusion, beef empanadas. read more

Location: Tucked into a strip mall at 86th and Ditch. Easy to find and plenty of parking. Vibe: Simple but vibrant. Maybe 6 tables with chairs. Half bright yellow and half green wall. Some fun art too! Don't be fooled by the unassuming vibe.. Wait time or reservations: You walk up and order at the counter! Food is brought to you. It took less than 15mn from the time we ordered to the time we got food. Food: I shared.. Sweetcorn tamale - talk about sweet, melt in your mouth, omg goodness. I hadn't had a tamale in a long while and this really hit the spot. Chorizo pupusa - I had never had a pupusa and now I want one everyday. It is a thicker corn flour field with meat. SO. good. They served it with coleslaw and salsa which gave it a nice balance. Beef empanada - I recently went to Argentina, the land of empanadas, and this was right up there with the best of them. I was surprised it was served with lettuce and sour cream but nicely filled and with so much flavor. Fried corn poppers - the sweetness of the corn tamale made into bite sized pieces served with powered sugar. Dreams really can come true. Service: The people working at the counter were so sweet! It felt like a family business. Price: Super affordable. I think I paid less than $10 for the empanada and pupusa. I am so glad my friend suggested we try 3 in 1. It was DELICIOUS and I'll be back very soon to try more items on the menu. Feels so wrong I didn't try the queso...will remedy that... read more

Best pico de gallo I've ever had in my entire life! The pupusas were outstanding and the curtido was very refreshing! I will certainly be coming back for more! read more

So good! This place is absolutely delicious and a go to for take out! We have eaten inside too, but it keeps really well on a drive home! We first tried this place at the Carmel Farmers Market, since they have a station there, and then we were hooked! I love their crispy empanadas! We always get the chicken, and the chicken/cheese combo inside is incredible! We also love the pupusas!!! They have so many options to choose from. We love the brisket pupusa. They have vegan options and even sweet dessert pupusas sometimes! I know they have tamales but I haven't tried those. They give you lots of sauces/salsas with the items you buy. Service is always quick and highly recommend this place! read more

I've been wanting to try a pupusa and a recent Yelp post for 3 in 1 was the nudge I needed! Accidentally came on a Monday night. Don't do that, they aren't open. I got the cheese pupusa and chicken tamale. We got choripapas to share and my husband got the pupusa burger. The burger with two cheese pupusas as buns! The cheese pupusa was great but since the flavor is subtle, trying anything after makes it taste very bland. Just an fyi! The choripapas with chorizo and steak were the showstopper. We couldn't stop eating them. Thankfully we had a whole basket to split. We would come back just for that. The chorizo and steak combo were so so good! A little bit of a long wait but the food was fresh and delicious! read more

Went during the lunch rush and was able to be seated right away. Very friendly service. Food came out quick, fresh, and hot. It looked delicious, and it was! It's a great place to grab a bite to eat, slow down for a few minutes and relax. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean, and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly recommend eating here just once. They have three different types of menus hence the name. Ecuadorian, vegan, and tacos. You can never go wrong with tacos. read more

Visited for a Yelp! Elite Event and it was totally worth the visit. I will definitely be back for more! Definitely start with the homemade chips and queso or pico. The chips are incredible. Steak and Cheese Papayas and Steak Tacos were my favorite, so much that I order two more to go. Highly recommend this restaurant, and most customers were ordering to go, I chose to eat inside their dining room. read more

We've been dining at 3 in 1 for over two years as a family. I personally like the chicken and cheese pupusa the best from the several I have tried. It's a classic flavor and delicious. Much less greasy than the pork and not sweet like the ones with goat cheese. I enjoy topping my pupusas with the slaw, sour cream and the red mild salsa. My most favorite item on the menu... chicken tinga empanadas. Droooool. So satisfying with juicy chicken stuffed inside a deep friend corn flour dough. Nice smoky chipotle flavor. It reminds me of my mom's tinga. Don't forget they have delicious drinks to purchase like homemade horchata. Yum!! Dinner or lunch from 3 in 1 will be delicious and it is reasonably priced. Next menu item I want to try are the pumpkin empanadas. Will report back. read more

ooohhh man, get in here! i'll get right into it: i got an al pastor burrito and the "save the cows" empanada that was on special. the table split loaded vegan fries both ways -- with potatoes and with yucca, and chips and vegan queso. the burrito i honestly barely touched because i was so full i ate it as leftovers the next morning.. cold in my hand. it was delicious and i'd eat one every day if i could. those taro balls were doing it for me, and the amount of pineapple (only a bit) was perfect for my liking. at $10 it was a perfectly fair price, too. the empanada was.... okay. i loved the crispy shell on it, but the inside was kind of just a cheesy goop with no discernible texture outside of that. the flavor was okay, but i was hoping for more depth. the chipotle sauce on top didn't add as much "oomph" as i was expecting. definitely the low-light of the meal. the fries were tasty, but not $16 and $21 tasty -- i don't know why they're prices so wildly for such an individual-ish sized portion, but hey. everybody really liked the yucca fries -- me included -- but you can't go wrong flavor-wise with either option. the price was just shocking. the chips and queso were *it* though. the double layer crunch on the chips and that classic hot white queso flavor. most other people at the table were glad it "wasn't trying" to taste like queso...? but i feel like it was, and it did a good job of it. you can tell it's not real breast milk, but i'm cool with that. the table sauces were.. okay. i enjoyed the tomatillo and mild sauces, but the hot one just tasted like heat to me. which was fine when i mixed it with the mild. awesome stuff. the service was very attentive, the food came out super fast, and it was all-around a great experience, but between the mushy goo on the interior of the empanada and wild price on the fries.. i'm tempted to give a 4/5. buuut since this place was so incredibly helpful for my girlfriend (who has celiac) and took it very seriously, that makes 3-in-1 a 5 and VERY STUPIDLY EASY must-visit recommendation for anybody in or around Indianapolis. read more

I tried a little sampling of three different item. A tamale, a pupusas and an empanada. Chicken tinga empanada was my favorite. It was filled with chipotle chicken and cheese that was all melted. Sweet corn and chicken tamale was also really good. It has pieces of corn in it. The GOAT empanada was filled with goat cheese, bacon and chives. It was not my favorite but still good. The goat cheese was a bit overpowering for me. This empanada is a special and not on the regular menu. They also have three sauces but we only had two. The red is mild and the green is medium. They also have a hot but that's not for me. I put quite a bit of the red mild sauce on the pupusas. I can not wait for a return visit to try more of their delicious food. read more

I absolutely love 3 in 1 restaurant! I will be making many trips in the near future to get my pupusa fix here! The selection of pupusas is expansive! I was in love with the Goat pupusa that contains candied bacon! I also ordered the chicken pupusas and they were fantastic! Now let's talk about the tamales! The sweet corn they use is fresh and sweet and packed with flavor. I've had tamales from other restaurants and thought I knew a good tamale...these top any I've ever tasted! I also had my first sampling of horchata which is amazing! The drink is a nice sweet finish to a fantastic meal! My kids had chips and queso as well as beef tacos. My son asked to come back for more tacos and my daughter was covered in cheese so they gave the meal an approval as well. I'll be bringing some family members back as they are vegan and I saw quite a few vegan options to sample! read more

Such an interesting little gem! As an Elite event, I was invited to try and without it, I don't think I would've known about it. There was a pretty large order before mine which is probably why it took so long to grab my food, but to try the veggie pupusa, and ordered my husband the beans and cheese. I inhaled the pupusa before even grabbing a pic, so my apologies on that! Snagged some chips and queso, and must note the queso has some heat to it! Wasn't ready for that! Also grabbed a butternut squash tamale which was interesting... I've never had one but I would eat it again. The horchata is made in house and was pretty tasty! Prices are pretty inexpensive in my opinion, and really a great way to support a small business and have a tasty lunch! read more

Last week I had the pleasure to visit this restaurant. It is a smaller place, with some seating. It was warm and inviting. The worker at the counter greeted me and was such a friendly person. I called my order in and he told me 15min, however it was ready in about 10! I saw that they had one of my favorite beers on their menu, so I stayed and enjoyed one before taking my to go order. I had the chorizo and cheese pupusa and a steak quesadilla with peppers and onions added. The quesadilla was delicious. I liked the pupusa, but the chorizo could have been a bit more seasoned. All that being said, I will be back to try more ! read more

Ordered delivery and they are super fast! The empanadas are HUGE! Beef and cheese are very good and flavorful, but greasier than I'd expected (the only reason I gave a 4 star). I tried the beef and cheese pupusa and that was stellar. I'll say where they really won me over are their salsas and sauces. Hot is hot! And spicy ranch is HOT and delicious. They also have Salvadoran horchata which was interesting to try, but definitely different than Mexican horchata. Do not sleep on this place! I look forward to trying more from them! read more

Wonderful El Salvadorian gem on the north side of Indy! They have a bunch of vegan options, which are amazing! We ordered the pupusas -vegan veggie and cheese, seitan and cheese, and also the vegan la picosita. The pupusas we're so fresh and amazing-lots of filling. The la picosita was like a quesadilla and Was SUPER spicy!!! . The homemade chips and pico were wonderful! Definitely will be back many more times!! read more

I love this restaurant!!!!! They used to be at the Eskenazi Hospital Wednesday farmers market to sell their pupusas and tamales. I was so bummed with the pandemic I couldn't have it. However! They have a great location on 86th street. It's clean and small but well distanced. I called in advance for pick-up and wasn't too long of a wait -25 min. The sweet corn tamales are just incredible. All the pupusas are amazing. But their tacos are also great! Honestly I just love it so much. read more

This place has the best steak quesadillas and fresh made to order tortilla chips. I have tried the pupusas, tacos, and tamales with different fillings all have been good quality. The reason why this place is a stand out is their menu has option that are vegan and seasonal. Like, the butternut squash tamale. They also have a unique drink selection from drinks with CBD to the traditional Jarritos. Next time I go I have to try one of the menus new additions the Goat pupusa it has bacon, chives, goat cheese, and mozzarella. read more

Stumbled into this place by accident last week and was very impressed! Food was great, would have appreciated more drink options but not a big deal. Would go back! P.S. for all restaurants- please consider sanitizing items such as salt/pepper shakers and menus between customers. Thanks! read more

You really can't beat the veg/vegan menu. If you ask any local for veg recommendations, 3-in-1 will always be at the top. Not only that, but the place really stands up to it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a little small inside, but you never feel cramped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is quick and the staff are all very nice. The price is really nice and you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for really good vegan food. I ordered the regular, meat options and they were all amazing. My partner ordered the veg options and was left very impressed. I can't imagine any person leaving here disappointed. It's a top rec for a reason. read more

overall the food is very dry, maybe they should consider putting lettuce and tomatoes inside of burritos and sauce options perhaps.

I never thought I'd eat pupusas in Indy and especially not good ones!! If you've never tried them then you are missing out. I had the Cheese, Bean, and pork, the steak and cheese, and the chicken chipotle pupusas. They were all fantastic. I also got a pork tamale made from fresh sweet corn which tasted different from a traditional Mexican tamale but was still very good. If you like cornbread then you will probably like the tamales from here. Adrian helped us out and he was very informative and answered any questions that we had. read more

I honestly wish I could give 3 in 1 10 stars, but five is the max. ‍ We stopped in for a late afternoon lunch Friday, and I CANNOT wait to go back. I opted for chips and Pico to start, while also getting the grilled chicken tacos. With tomatillo salsa, cilantro and onion all you want to add, the meal was SO GOOD. I was stuffed, service was quick and friendly, and it's definitely one I'll DoorDash or go to in future! I cannot recommend this place enough when you're in the mood for some bomb tacos. read more

Unsure if you like El Salvadoran food? You do. Trust me. I had been to 3 in 1 Restaurant once before and was eager to go back. I convinced a few friends to join me and just said Trust me. They did. I ordered a beef empanada, a chorizo pupusa, and then an order of the corn poppers. This is the real deal here. The empanadas are perfectly crispy on the outside - like a real crunch is heard. The pupusa is a gooey pocket full of flavor. The corn poppers are treated as a dessert - essentially fried empanadas with a sprinkling of sugar on them - they are deliciously sweet and it is hard to stop eating them. I also nabbed a fresh juice - pineapple, mango with a hint of cinnamon. The space is brightly painted and local art on the walls. The staff are friendly, helpful and confident in sharing recommendations. read more

My go-to purchase at the Carmel, Broad Ripple or Zionsville farmers markets is always a 3 in 1 Restaurant pupusa. Savory, hot, and filling, I have to say that pupusas are one of my favorite foods (essentially a flatbread of cornmeal with cheese, beans, chicken or chorizo cooked inside of it). I was SO excited when I found out that they were opening a brick-and-mortar location again - now located on 86th and Ditch. This El Salvadoran cuisine is not to be missed. The owner, Juan, is incredibly sweet and told us that he sources as many local ingredients as he can, including the chicken, which you can tell is of high quality. His wife is from El Salvador and they're super involved in the community (still at all of those farmers markets too). He also told us that when he first opened the business fourteen years ago, the community took a lot of education about what a pupusa is, but that word is spreading. Here's what you can order: -Pupusas with cheese (or vegan cheese), steak, beans, chicken, spicy pork, veggies, or breakfast-based -Tamales: sweet corn alone or with chicken and pork -Burritos: chicken, steak, chorizo, or cheese -Flautus: chicken or chorizo -Riguas: fresh sweet corn milled into dough, grilled between banana leaves -Fried tamales There's something here for everyone, so definitely come check out and your entire group will enjoy it! The staff speak both English and Spanish. read more

A friend took me to Flower Child 2 weeks ago. I've been back twice since. Every time I had Forbidden Rice. I promise to try something new when I go back, but the food it amazing. The staff is friendly. I can't wait to go back. I have told all my friends about it. read more

3 in 1 is definitely my favorite restaurant in the Indianapolis area. They even know me by name now. :) Since I last reviewed, I found out that the fryers are safe for people with celiac disease! Yay! My gluten free friends- that means we CAN have empanadas, flautas, chips... all of that! That's seriously the best news ever. The empanadas and flautas are my fav! On Wednesday's they have a lunch special for $8.75 that includes flautas and queso. (YES- dip your flautas in the queso!) My favorite menu items Chicken Flautas Tinga (shredded chicken w a salsa like flavor) Empanada Steak Tacos Pork Tamale Cheese Papusa Seriously, everything I've had from here is delicious. It's so nice to be able to eat here safely for us gluten free eaters. -if you go to the Broad Ripple (or Carmel) Farmer's Market check out the breakfast papusa scramble! So good! read more

We had these guy's pupusas at the farmer's market a few times and liked them. They did not taste as good as take-out 15 mins later- I guess they are meant to be eaten fresh. Also, they messed up our order and forgot some of it which was annoying. I picked up the food and took it home- if you're eating there, it's pretty down market. read more

Scrumptious for all! And heaven for vegetarians. Going back many times to try everything. And they are so nice too!!

If you love flavor, fresh and delicious this place is it! Always helpful and friendly staff. Food takes some time but it's ok because it's being made to order. If you are a meat eater, vegan or vegetarian, you won't be disappointed! Cute set up inside and a relaxed ambiance. I'm telling you the food is top grade!!! read more

This was our first time trying pupusas. A pupusa is like a thick flat bread with items in the middle similar to a arepa. We tried the GOAT and ranchera both were pretty good. The GOAT had bacon with goat and mozzarella cheese I added a little sauce on top which really complimented the pupusa. The ranchera includes chorizo, eggs, onions, and cheese. Loved the people and decor on the inside. read more

This restaurant blew us away from the first bite. We ordered takeout and thought we were just grabbing a quick inexpensive meal. I've had pupusas in texas and non here have compared until I found 3 in 1. First - the price is incredible. You can order multiple things and leave with a full belly without a huge check. Second - the atmosphere inside was good! Very clean and simple. Third - the staff is SO nice. They explained the menu to us and were just so lovely. You can't beat this, whether you're ordering takeout or dining in for a yummy meal. This is also a vegan friendly restaurant! Be sure to try any of the pupusas with mild salsa and lime slaw and an order of yuca fries with queso as an appetizer. The tamales are also perfection. read more

The pico is my absolute favorite in all of Indy. They have a beautiful location and the staff is so kind and took time to tell us all about the offerings. They have a full vegan menu in addition to the traditional menu. And I mean full, not just three options. The pupusas are my favorites and what they are known for. read more

My first visit here, I'm new to the pupusas and tried two of the vegan options, really great!! For covid they're only open for carry out or delivery but I'm so glad to have a place with so many vegan options that tasted very good. Excited to try some of the others too! read more
