    The menudo was fire and enough for me to have a second meal out of it, shrimp was so flavorful

    Seafood Molcajete
    Jeff F.

    Wow! La Parada was our go to, but we now have a new favorite! El Mr Cameron is the bomb. I had Seafood Molcajete and wife had Arroz Con Cameron. This is a little hole in the wall on the southeast side. The chips and salsa were amazing and reminded us of my wife's families restaurant in KC. Service as great and the food was even better. Get ready for a new regular customer!

    Found this little gem of a restaurant here on Yelp! Loved the food as well as the portions, exactly what we were looking for in a mexican seafood restaurant. Will definitely re-visit next time in or near Indianapolis.

    What a wonderful little joint on the south east side of Indy! Delicious food, awesome atmosphere, and extremely colorful. Hardly any parking in the lot, but plenty of street parking across the road. The service staff is very attentive, although it did take us a while before we could finally pay and leave. You don't pay at the table; you pay at the counter. Once we sat down, we were immediately greeted with chips and salsa. After looking at their huge menu for a while, my girlfriend ordered the camarones a la diabla, which is very spicy shrimp (hint at the diabla) served with rice, beans, and vegetables. I ordered the fried breaded shrimp, which was served with the same sides. Very, very good! They give you a lot of shrimp. I definitely couldn't finish my entire meal. The breaded shrimp reheated great. We also ordered chorizo queso fundido served with hot tortillas on a sizzling skillet. Super great food all around and I'll definitely be returning. Plus their hot sauce selection is pretty wonderful as well as their red and green salsas.

    Tasty shrimp!

    A nice little Mexican on the South East side of Indy. When you sit down you get chips and three types of Salsa. The only complaint I have about this place is the chips were just warm but not hot. The standard salsa was flavorful and had a little heat but plenty of spice. A very good salsa compared to the bland boring salsa served at so many Mexican restaurant. I got the camarones a la diabla. They use large shrimp, and there was around 15-20. The a la diabla sauce was nicely spice with a little heat. It came with rice, beans, avocados, tomatoes,lime and lettuce. The cost was $13.99 and I was fine with the price because of the quality of the shrimp. The restaurant was located in small strip mall. The place was nicely decorated. From everything I could see the place was clean and well taken care of. The service was good. I could tell my lunch was made to order and not pre-made and assembled like you get at so many Mexican restaurants today. I am going to go back and try some of their other dishes, but a great first meal. I am so happy that we have a few authentic Mexican restaurants in Indianapolis. If you are bored of chain restaurants and think for yourself and are not manipulated by millions of dollars in TV commercials to make yourself believe you have to eat average to below average overpriced food at some chain restaurant, I am one of you. Let's all keep supporting the true food scene in Indiana.

    One of the first things I judge a Mexican restaurant on is the frijoles. This place is fantastic. The salsa had flavor! The camarones de la diabla are in a spicy sauce that is more than just spice. It's spice and heat and a little bit of smoke from maybe some chipotle. The shrimp is fresh and cooked perfectly. Will be going several times to try everything, but they really shine with the seafood. The tilapia is add much a visual masterpiece as a culinary one. Is the whole fish that fills a long plate, but you can get the filet if you like. This place is tucked away so don't blink or you might miss it.

    I was referred here. So I gave it a whirl. It's an unexpected jewel on Sherman. The most authentic Mexican cuisine I've had in this city and I am an avid consumer of Mexican delectables. Customer service was great, the food was to my liking.

    Took everything out to cool off since it was so hot!

    Little hole in the wall.. Was not expecting to go here buuuut couldn't find this paleo place so ended up here and so grateful we did. Seat yourself, young boy brought us menus, chips and salsa which were awesome! Couldn't really understand the menu but I saw a man we had this huge bowl of seafood soup so I said "I want that!" With some guacamole. My boyfriend ordered 2 shrimp tacos and 2 beef tacos. Food took maybe 12 minutes to come out. My seafood soup had shrimp w/heads, crawdaddies, octopus, fish, crab legs served with a side of raw white onions, green onions and peppers. This was seriously so good and it was only $13. The tacos were perfect too.. Double tortillas so they don't fall apart and the guac was so fresh!

    Chicken and pork tacos.

    Great place to go for lunch. Tacos are fresh, made to order, and are darn tasty. Owners are very nice, welcoming.

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 staff was also incredibly accommodating when it came to my preferences; they brought over a lovely selection of chips and sauces, but were perfectly gracious when I mentioned I prefer to avoid the heat.

You have to buy a basket of chips, but it's very inexpensive and so worth it for the salsa bar! Lastly, the Al pastor is the bomb. The inside is really nice, the owners are so gracious and remember us when we come back each time. Don't sleep on this place--it's perfect for a weekday dinner or a weekend date night!

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.
