    Regular burrito
    Katherine A.

    This was my first visit to this little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. It's a simple place with six tables and brightly colored fish on the wall. You order at the counter and select the ingredients that you want in your burrito, nachos, quesadilla or salad. I had the burrito salad which includes anything you might put in a burrito. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The salad was filling. My husband had the regular beef burrito, which is huge. They are generous with the ingredients. The clerks are friendly and service is quick. They have a kid's menu. On Tuesdays, they offer special pricing on tacos. The restaurant is easy off of 465. Parking can be tight in the strip mall during peak hours.

    Beyond impressed by this hole in the wall, Mexican restaurant. It is located on a tucked away strip mall on the border of Carmel and Indianapolis and I am so glad we decided to try this place out. The restaurant is very simple, but clean. We have been greeted with great service both times we have gone. We went twice in the same week because it is just that good. The food was amazing!! They have your traditional Mexican food menu, but the ingredients are fresh and they have an AMAZING selection of salsas. This will definitely be added to one of our regular spots.

    Burrito al pastor

    Chava's is a must try. It's pretty much just an upgraded local chain version of Chipotle in Indiana. Their burritos are amazing. And if you are really hungry their super burritos are an unbeatable value. They have good chips and salsa/queso/guac. They also have Jarritos and many Mexican hot sauces to choose from. The service is always quick and friendly and the inside always has a lot of colorful decorations and pictures. Do NOT sleep on Chava's. It's sssoooo good.

    Very similar to a Chipotle or QDOBA but better! Lots more ingredients and toppings! I liked that they gave the option for a bowl.

I got the Langostino Quesadilla that I loved! It was a really big quesadilla too. We ordered agua frescas tonight, but their bar menu is huge and I definitely want to be back for margaritas on their patio. This is prime location for patio season. All our service was very professional and fast. Bonus perk there is a free parking garage attached.... Makes going out to eat downtown way less stressful!

Overall a chill environment and ith a nice front patio/ sidewalk seating area. We enjoyed the chips n salsa varieties, surprisingly the darker salsa wasn't spicier just a different flavor. Orde re d the chicken burrito which was gigantic easily enough for 2 to share. Very well made fresh ingredients, covered in sauces and cheesy. And we all tried different margaritas, mine was a strawberry fruity take on a margarita, good and garnished nicely. Rated fresh and flavorful, not very strong and a bit pricey. Especially with some being $100+ for a drink was wild. Overall nice place, nice environment, wasn't busy and tasted good but is priced higher than most Mexican restaurants in the city.

    I have not spent much time in the Eastside of Indianapolis other than Irvington. Driving through…read morehere, you see the blight and the abandonment of this area of Indianapolis since the decline of manufacturing. Then again, it's not an uncommon story unfortunately- large parts of the city forgotten in terms of economic development but then suddenly needed during times of campaigning. Had taken Keystone and then Rural Street to get here, and the potholes are not kind. But, we had this place on our list and were determined to make it here at least once. Tlaolli stood out for its vegan offerings. Plenty of vegan taco options, birria (an absolute rarity to see vegan birria), and torta. They offer soy chorizo, jackfruit, and king oyster mushrooms as protein options. The exterior is colorful, and inside there are seating options. We had gotten our food to go, so I cannot comment too much on the service. Had placed our order online, and the food was ready within the estimated time in the order. We ordered the vegan birria tacos ($17.99), the vegan torta ($10.99 base but added soy chorizo, which was $3.99), and the no-no-no taco ($5.99). Our total with fees was approximately $45. Tlaolli offers outdoor seating, so when the weather is nicer this would be a good place to come. Next to the East Washington IPL branch, Tlaolli has a colorful green exterior with neon signage. Food: The food was very good. The proteins were nicely seasoned and juicy. The highlight for me was the birria tacos and the consome. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 10/10. This is a great local business in the area to support: offers a diverse menu of options with food that is comforting and tasty.

I'm pretty sure the owner was the one who waited on us. He was friendly and so patient while we decided what to order. I had the chicken chipotle tacos since I remembered them being so good last time but I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
