    Quick and kind service! 33. Pollo Supremo was so big and absolutely delicious! We were each given our own bowl of salsa which was great. I love the colors inside and the decor feels authentic. And that mega strawberry margarita tied it all together. I will be back.

    Birria taco
    Tori M.

    Food was over all good but Birria could use more flavor and be a bit more juicy. The meat was a bit dry. Came here with a coupon I saw in the paper for taco Tuesday 2$ and no time frame was on the coupon but for lunch/ dinner special and we got there around 2:30 pm and lady tried to say it started at 3pm. I knew she was lying and I even made a comment saying "I guess we won't order until 3 pm and just sit here and eat chips and salsa" then she got upset a bit but said we could do the 2$ a taco. Then she overcharged us. Good overall came out too fast. Couldn't even enjoy our appetizer before being shoved with more food. Waitress could be a bit more nicer. Will Be ordering to go from now on.

    Our go-to for Mexican. Fast, yummy, clean and everyone is so friendly! Their phone number has changed (317) 203-5754 and the prices have increased but the portions are huge!

    I ordered on the DoorDash app and did pick up. It was ready a few minutes early which was good. Food was hot and tasty. They also gave chips and salsa which was nice. Their salsa is good just needs a little more cilantro. My tilapia and shrimp were really good. There were only three pieces of lobster. This location is good. I would steer clear from the location in Speedway. My friend had an actual cockroach in her food. I hesitated to try this location since that happened in Speedway. Glad I tried it.

    What a beautiful restaurant! The inside was so clean, the tables looked new and the decor was beautiful! My food was delicious, only thing I would change is the French fries. They were a little limp for my taste , I like a crispy fry. My quesadilla was good and crispy. On Thursday they had 11.99 32oz margarita specials that were delicious!!! The chips and salsa also delicious, first bowl is free and $1 for each after, but so worth!

    Booths are spacious and decor is nice!

    Went for lunch with my father and I. We both ordered the lunch special - steak fajitas. Food was appropriate temperature, portion size for a lunch special was generous and fed me well, steak was of good quality (and not that ground stuff), it was actual pieces of steak. Meals come with complementary chips and salsa. Price was very reasonable considering the steep price increases I've seen at most restaurants since pandemic inflation, so I felt the amount of food for the price was a good deal, especially for lunch! Staff was helpful when my father had questions about menu items. Authentic Hispanic atmosphere was very nice since I took Spanish in college and like to be immersed in the culture! At the very least waiters were saying things like "what would u like to order amiga" "gracias" "hola senior" - nice touch! I'm conclusion, I love authentic Mexican! And this was very close if not hitting the nail on the head! If I'm in the area again, this will be a place I return to again!! *Post pandemic practices - about half of staff wearing masks, signs for social distancing on front door and around interior of restaurant

    Food and drinks were AWESOME! Our server was not the best, but Juan took over and stepped up. He made our entire experience enjoyable. We even kept a 2 1/2 year old happy and occupied! 10/10 recommended but request Juan!!!!

My needs were anticipated and my server delivered. This is a great place to dine alone, with friends, on a date, having a gathering, etc. There is plenty of space as well as a couple of private rooms and outdoor patio area. On the day I visited. I ordered the shrimp tacos which were plentiful and authentic tasting with the corn shells. They were cheesy and running over with a side of rice. Just what I like. Would I go again? Absolutely! Would I get the same dish? Yes, plus more.

Everything here was extremely fresh and you can taste the love in every bite! And the decor is so cute especially the anchors along the wall!

    GREAT PLACE FOR MEXICAN FOOD NEAR THE INDY AIRPORT…read more================================================= My son met my husband and I for dinner after we landed at the Indy Airport on Thursday, June 18, 2026. He is a native Californian and knows good Mexican food so we trusted him. They did not have the carnitas that I ordered so I ended up ordering fish tacos. They were really good. My son likes the place and has eaten there a couple of times. My husband was happy with the beef fajitas as well. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. You can watch the World Cup while dining as well.

The salsa is really good with lots of sweet tomato chunks and spices. I had the Taco Salad with shredded chicken. The salad came in a fried tortilla bowl. The generous portion of chicken was moist and flavorful. The guac topping was delicious. My husband had the lunch special Chimichanga with ground beef. His plate was huge and colorful with pico, rice, beans and a cheesy covered chimichanga. The food is a step above your average Mexican restaurant. They offer daily drink specials (beer and margarita). I was tempted, but it was just too early in the day. They also have a kid's menu. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot and the restaurant is fully accessible. I recommend and will return.
