    Veggie omelet with bacon and cheese added  Home fries  Wheat toast
    Shay F.

    Stopped in today to have some brunch with a good friend of mine. Everything was a 10/10. Our server had the best energy and vibe. She was knowledgeable of the menu and provided us with great recommendations.

    This is a great place for a typical (or not so typical) breakfast. They have your standard bacon-and-eggs type of entrees, but they also a lot of Peruvian dishes (and NY-style deli sandwiches.

    Porkchop (not on the menu).
    Jonel Y.

    As usual, they continue to improve their menu. Their chaufa flavoring has better after taste now. And they're trying this porkchop, it has no name yet but is very flavorful, meat is tender. I recommended that they add this on the menu. Hopefully they'll add this so that everyone can enjoy. Service is a little slow when they're busy due to being small business and but man, the food is worth the wait. This is place is so chill hence we have been a repeat customer here.

    Breakfast Sunrise Bowl - min

    The breakfast bowls are pretty cool and feel like a healthy option, which I liked. They're a good choice if you want something lighter but still filling. The chocolate chip pancake is really good and definitely a highlight--soft, flavorful, and satisfying. I also tried the horchata matcha, which was good and unique. The matcha orange drink was okay, but not sweet, so it may not be for everyone depending on your taste. Overall, it's a nice spot with a mix of healthier options and some indulgent treats, and I'd come back to try more items.

    Horchata latte
    Ana C.

    I had previously been past this restaurant but never went in. The other day, I saw a tiktok saying they had horchata latte. I immediately knew I had to stop by. I was in the area and decided to give the latte a try. The location is really nice, gives homey vibes. The horchata latte was delicious. I don't know if they make their horchata in house, but I loved it. Although it was cold outside, I still ordered it iced. I have tried horchata lattes at other cafes/restaurants in Indy and never thought they actually tasted like horchata but this really did. While waiting for our drinks, we looked at the menu and everything on the there sounded incredibly delicious. I plan on going back to try the food!!

    Chorizo Breakfast Burrito

    The food was phenomenal, and the service was very attentive as well! The space was intimate but the noise level was not unbearable because of this. Highly recommend it!

    I always drive past and see it super busy, so I was excited we went during a slower time. Very welcoming spot--we were greeted immediately when we walked in. I ordered a chai tea latte (assuming it was with whole milk), and my fiancé got a strawberry smoothie. The chai was good! The smoothie, unfortunately, was very watery, but it tasted super fresh, so it was still easy to drink. I got the French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon--VERY GOOD! My fiancé had the breakfast tacos (eggs, sausage, and bacon), which she really enjoyed and even wanted to come back the next day Family owned!

    French Toast Combo. Orange Juice
    Les D.

    This is a great brunch spot. Surprised it was no busier than it was. Good French toast and everything else at a reasonable price. Sliced strawberry garnish on the plate gets a fifth star from me. A great and simple way to know the chef really cares.

    So good! I was meeting a coaching client in Broad Ripple and they suggested Dad's Kitchen. I am so glad that she did. It's a small restaurant with one person working in the front. She was fantastic! The service was great! The food was fantastic too! I almost tried a Peruvian dish. But, went with tacos which were really good! You can tell they take great pride and care. I already plan to go back next week and take some friends!

    We love Dads kitchen. The pancakes have a slight citrus taste. I wonder if they use oj in the batter. The bacon is crispy and good. Service is always spot on. Since they've taken out the display case they have more room for tables. Parking can be a pain , but it is in Bripple.

    Steak tostoricos
    Niki B.

    Don't miss the horchata or lomo saltado! Yes, they serve wonderful American breakfast and lunch options, but don't miss the special Mexican and Peruvian treats on the menu. I've only found two other spots in Indy that serve lomo saltado and it's truly one of my favorite dishes. It literally means salted steak and is kind of like a delicious stir fry with onions, tomatoes, French fries, white rice, and a delicious, herby, mild sauce. Loved! I booked a table for six people on their website for 9am on a Saturday. I thought we'd be the only ones there that early in Broad Ripple. Nope! I walked in and there were two other big groups, making the place almost full. I was impressed! The owners were really nice and were hustling hard. My friends enjoyed their breakfast burritos and bagels, but they all went "ooooh" when the lomo saltado came out. It was a showstopper for sure. And yes, I did (and you can) order the lomo saltado steak dish early in the morning. Hah! We also got the steak tostoricos, which were fried green plantains, topped with guacamole, pico de gallo & bacon bits. Those were great too and are fun to share with the table. Their bowls looked delicious and fresh, so I want to try those next time. Thank you, Dad's Kitchen!

    Guacamole and Tortilla Chips
    Wendi S.

    Cute little spot in Broad Ripple. They use their space very judiciously. It is a small spot but cute. The atmosphere is really nice. Only complaint is it was very cold today and the door doesn't stay shut. The service was wonderful. We had a really good waitress who gave us some good ideas. She was very attentive and then the owner came over and checked on us, and she was very helpful with information about different dishes. It was a really good experience. We started off with guacamole and chips. The guacamole was very fresh, but could've used some lime. The chips were really good and I'm not sure if they were homemade, but they tasted fresh. The salsa that came alongside. It tasted a lot like a kind. I usually have at home, but it was still good. My daughter had traditional brunch fair and had the French toast platter so she had delicious French toast with two over medium eggs that she did have to send back to get re-cooked but they were wonderful about it. She didn't really like the ham that came with it because it was , the kind of ham that goes on your sandwich, but other than that she enjoyed her meal. I went the more adventurous route, and tried the Lomo Saltado which consists of rice and french fries with a mixture of beef with sliced tomatoes and onions over the top with a delicious gravy. The beef has lean pieces and a few with more fat on it, but I enjoyed that. My daughter likes more lean cuts. My only "complaint" is that I wish there was more gravy or salsa. That is not a complaint; however, because it was a delicious meal. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely go there again. Oh, I forgot to mention that they have delicious homemade Horchata and wonderful coffee drinks.

    Lomo Saltado
    Brett F.

    Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. A hole in the wall befitting the area, all was neat amd clean. The lomo was tasty. I will stop in again soon to try their breakfast.

    Brunch with my person and our little person. Lol

The service was a bit slow but it being cinco de mayo, we understood that things may move a little slower than any other day. They had some specials for the day but I got my old faithful, Maria's Enchiladas with steak. It comes with rice and beans and it's just so so soooo good!!! I also got the Arroyo Margarita which was good but def could tell they were adding a bit more sour mix to the drink. Overall, it was a good experience but I will try to come back again on a day that is not as busy.

The restaurant is sleek and has a cool vibe, but we immediately realized it was not going to be what we thought of when we saw "street tacos" mentioned during Google search. It's more of a metropolitan American Soul fusion place, with a heavy emphasis on loaded, uniquely flavored tacos instead of traditional Mexicana. The server was wonderful in explaining their menu and gave multiple recommendations, which I went with all of her great suggestions once I told her what I was craving. My husband didn't enjoy his appetizer, saying it tasted too sweet instead of savory for him, but the server was great at being aware of our plates and took the appetizer off our bill when she noticed he wasn't eating it without us even mentioning it. I got three different tacos, and the only one I didn't enjoy was due to the Mac n cheese that was stuffed in it. It just didn't taste or feel right having a taco with macaroni that was pushed in so densely that it became a sponge. The other two were great! My husband gave his burrito a 3/5, as he felt it was too much one note. Overall, don't come here if you're looking for upscale Mexicana, but instead want to enjoy interesting fusion flavors and fun cocktails. Great place for a group outing or celebration!

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.
