A combination Mexican restaurant and grocery store. I've heard nothing but praise for the multitudes of coworkers that have gone here. You walk in to a really cool aesthetic with a large statue/fountain in the center. Prompt and solid service. Never was wanting for anything. I was pretty hungry at lunch so I ordered this insane Surf and Turf plate. 8 shrimp, fried tilapia filet, steak, chicken, and chorizo!!! Also came with salad, avocado, rice, beans, and tortillas. So much food. I almost ate it all!! Highly recommend. Will come back to this review after a few more visits...this may be 5 star worthy!! read more

Guanajuato Restaurante - Surf and Turf - Tacos Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I always enjoy coming to Guanajuato. Just visiting the grocery store is worthwhile. This time I went with a large group and our servers did a great job taking care of us. I really like their shrimp and octopus cocktail. It's huge and a meal in itself with chips. I like the guacamole here as well so definitely order it. I've had better margaritas but maybe it was what I ordered. The rest of the group had a variety of fajita's, tacos, etc. Someone got talked into trying the largest margarita I've ever seen. My picture doesn't do it justice but it took several of us to finish it. Make sure to get some goodies at the bakery before you leave! read more

Absolutely amazing place. Food was outstanding. The guacamole was stupendous! The Barbacoa taco was out of this world! Such a wonderful treat. read more

This is the restaurant connected to the big Mexican grocery store. I used to come to this grocery store just to have the tacos from the little diner. Then the owners decided to expand their eat-in business by renovating the huge space next door and building out a full-service restaurant. I think. Ow the restaurant makes as much money for them as the grocery store ever did. The food here is so good (authentic) and cheap. read more

This restaurant is clean, the food was fresh, and the prices were very reasonable. If we lived in Indy we'd absolutely be back.

Came here on a Thursday afternoon with my family since we have been staying in Indianapolis and it was so good! Very authentic. Ordered fajitas and it comes with side of rice, beans, and salad like usual. What I did find very odd was the fact that we came here around 3:20pm and saw a sign they closed at 8pm so thought nothing of it and we have plenty of time to eat. Until whenever 4pm came they started cleaning and everyone left and no music was playing and well we thought it was weird. Comes to find out they close at 4pm and we felt so bad. We didn't finish our food and we packed to go even though they did say it was okay but it was 4:15. Just not sure why their sign said something else but that's some important information. Felt terrible for being those kind of people who stay after the closing time. read more

Carniceria Guanajuato is an incredible Mexican grocery that used to have an INCREDIBLY popular taco stand within it. Because it was so popular, they took the leap and created an entire restaurant that is now attached to the grocery store. And let me tell you, it's BEAUTIFUL. The walls have beautiful 3D murals on them that make you feel as if you are in Mexico. Everything is clean, friendly, vibrant and delicious. We came with a group of 24 people and they were incredibly accommodating. The servers had waters waiting at the table as well as fresh chips and salsa. They also brought out big plates of limes and cucumbers before they brought out the tons of tacos. We got fish, beef, vegetarian, and chicken tacos. They were SO GOOD. Everyone at our table loved them and commented that they wanted to come back soon. I had the beef tacos and absolutely loved them. I'd definitely order them again. They even have specialty tacos like lingua (tongue) on the weekends. I can't reiterate how kind, helpful and sweet the staff were. The server even told us about the restaurant and how she went from working in the grocery to running this restaurant (and she deserves it). Highly recommend you check out this new space! It's comfortable, affordable, and delicious. read more

This unassuming restaurant is delicious and a hidden gem in a rather food desert part of downtown. There is some free street parking and I was able to find a spot easily during peak lunch hours. Inside the atmosphere is colorful and festive and makes you joyful just by entering! We were seated immediately and brought some chips and salsa. The salsa and chips are limited unless you want to pay a bit more, but given the size of the food portions and the price it is still very reasonable. I ordered fried plantains which were delicious! Very non oily and a perfect grill on them as a fun sweet snack. I also ordered vegan burritos which were stuffed with veggies and in a slightly grilled tortilla which made it crispy and tasty. It was also a huge portion for only $5.50, so well worth the money! It was quick service and obviously fresh ingredients which made us agree we would be coming back soon. The cute store next door had tons of options for Mexica spices and candies etc if you are looking for something hard to find. Very great lunch option! read more

The tacos were disgusting. The meat had no seasoning at all and it was burnt. I had to stop eating after the first taco because I was gagging the entire time. DO NOT EAT HERE read more

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food. my palate does not like bland food, and Mexican food always tasted bland to me. Nothing wrong about Mexican food but I like spices and aroma of herbs which I find, is generally lacking in this kind of food but I saw a review about this place and I decided to check the tacos. This is a good place to go. This has a very different ambience almost as if you are in Mexico based on my one time experience of going to a Mexican restaurant in Cancun. The service is good people speak very well and are able to explain the food. I was there for tacos, and I ordered three tacos. I ordered chicken taco a beef taco and a pork taco. I'm happy to say that my experience was almost equal to what I had experienced in Cancun and the food was good. Tacos were very soft, they were hot, chicken in the taco felt slightly cold but it was properly cooked and it was OK. The pork taco was very good. It had a tangy sauce in it, tasted like mango, and that was very fulfilling and the beef taco was again good, but bland, but I guess it is supposed to be like that. The quality of food is good. The tacos overall, tasted good. I think it is worth going to this place again and try the other offerings. Also, this place is very well frequented by native Mexican food loving population, as well as non-natives and it was crowded. It was lunch hour and people were coming in. I can't say the name of this place but it is worth visiting this place. It's part of a grocery store. Grocery store is OK. Nothing much to talk about maybe all Mexican food and canned food you may get a better selection at Saraga, but this was a good place for food. read more

This place is very "authentico", kind off the beaten path across the river from downtown. The inside is nice enough, it's attached to a grocery store but the restaurant is separate. I had three different kinds of taco- shrimp, al pastor and carne, and they were all good, the al Pastor in particular. Prices were very reasonable and service was fast. read more

It finally happened. "Salsagate."Guanajuato Restaurante on Oliver Street. What an experience. Hostess told me they were out of chips but as we sat down, someone brought us salsa. . So waiter came and we asked if we could order queso. "Yes." So we thought "salsagate" was over. He brought it to the table, sat it down. "Uhh, can we have some chips?" "no chips." . Had to repeat our order 3x. Refried beans came and I think they just took them out of the refrigerator. Very Limited menu due to staffing shortages. It's rough out here. read more

My first time here was for a Yelp event a few days ago and we had the opportunity to try the fish tacos. They were very good so we're back to try other items on the menu. The Market was known for their superb taqueria and busy location so they have added this full service restaurant. Street parking is available along the building and the restaurant is just a few blocks from I-70 on the corner of Oliver Avenue and Division. The upscale restaurant is lovely with murals on the walls, tile floors, a faux balcony, a very impressive, large water fountain in the center of the dining room with lots of warm colors throughout. We were immediately greeted by the gentleman at the carryout counter then taken directly to a table by the hostess. All of the seating is 4-6 top tables with generous spacing between tables. A green and red salsa was delivered with chips in just a few minutes. I enjoyed the salsa but my husband found it just okay. It wasn't as spicy as the first time I had it and I hope it was just a fluke. The extensive menu can be a touch confusing when you first start browsing with both Spanish and English descriptions. The categories are well marked and each item has a brief description and many of the meat items are prepared several different ways. You'll find the standard menu items plus more. Tacos, Fajitas, Tortas, Quesadillas, Nachos, Burritos, Eggs (available before Noon), and Enchiladas are all available. The entrees include half or a whole Chicken, Grilled or Breaded Chicken Breast, T-bones, Steaks prepared with different sauces, Enchiladas, Pork dishes and many Fish and Shrimp dishes. I love all the seafood options with different Seafood Cocktails, Seafood Soups, Surf and Turf, whole fish to tilapia filets and Shrimp with various sauces. They offer for groups of 6 two table options, Seafood Table ($69.99) or Meat Table ($44.99) for six. The seafood table is served with Paella, Shrimp, Baby Lobster, Oysters, Tilapia, Fried Tilapia, Marinated Shrimp and Raw Fish, plus Crab Legs. The Meat table can be ordered for 4 or 6 persons. It's served with Steak, Grilled Chicken, Mexican Sausage, Fried Pork, Cactus, Grilled Onions and Jalapenos. An extensive menu that has something for most. They are prepared to serve 1 to large groups. My husband ordered the Fajitas Cameron (Shrimp) served with rice, beans, a salad, grilled green peppers, onions and tomatoes and tortillas. First, what a generous portion (see the pictures) and these were nice size shrimp. Flavorful, delicious but just a tad overcooked, but not enough to destroy the texture or flavor. He was thoroughly pleased with his dinner and found it to be a great value compared to many other restaurants. I ordered the Filetes de Pescado/Tilapia Filet grilled on a flat iron. When my dinner arrived it was 3 full filets with beautiful grill marks. The large plate was almost overflowing with a small salad, a tasty red rice and thick, almost charro, beans. All for $10.99? What a value for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed. The Market is open and an entrance is open from the restaurant. We didn't have the chance to explore but I'll be back search for fresh veggies and fruits and dine here again. read more

Having had the pleasure of tasting some of the food from this restaurant at a recent Yelp event, I brought my wife here for lunch. This ornate building includes colorful murals and sculptures that make it unique in its style and appearance. The dining room is very open with high ceilings. Although the room looks huge, there is a lot of open space, so fewer tables than I initially thought. There is also a lot of hard surfaces for noise to bounce off, so it does get a bit loud even when only half full. After receiving our complementary salsa and chips, we placed our order. My wife usually goes with a Taco Salad, this time with chicken. I chose to go with a Torta with beef tenderloin and onions. Note that the restaurant does not have a liquor license, so you can't get a margarita here. They do have a collection of beverages though. The chips were made in house as was the salsa. I was pleased to note that the salsa was not as cilantro forward as many other Mexican restaurants. Instead, the taste brought forward the onions and peppers for a nice change of pace. I also had a "small" Guacamole dip which was very light and creamy in texture. It was a little under seasoned, but the limes I got with my entree and a little bit of table salt perked it up. Not quite what I was used to, but again, definitely unique. My torta was great! The sandwich started with a very light and tasty bun that held the strips of beef along with the onion, tomato, avocado, etc. Although a very large serving, it didn't seem heavy and filling. It also came with the lime wedges (definitely a great addition to the meal) and fresh cucumber on the side. I would gladly have that again! My wife's lunch was a disappointment though. It looked great: Deep fried bowl with a colorful mix of ingredients. But a couple of things were fails. First, the oil temperature must not have been hot enough because instead of being crisped and light, the shell was flexible and we could taste the oil. If the temp is high enough, it should seal the shell and not take on that taste. And though the inside was good, there was so much liquid settled in the bottom (a creamy white liquid/sauce) that it became very soggy. She could hardly transfer the remaining amount to the to go box. Hopefully they will make some adjustments to the dish so that it rises to the level of my meal. When we were finished, the waitress gave us our bill and we paid at the cashier/carryout counter near the door. It is a beautiful space and one I recommend visiting if you are someone who appreciates the setting of your meal. Review #2542 read more

I walked in and placed a carry out order for a Tortas Cubanas and chips and salsa. I wish I was comfortable dining in because this place has a really cool atmosphere. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. The sandwich was just as good as it looks. It's basically a thinly sliced fried pork tenderloin, with ham, sliced hot dog, beans, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cheese on a giant freshly baked loaf of bread. Definitely big enough to satisfy a large appetite. Once my wife and I are vaccinated, I'll be taking her with me to try it out. read more

This place is very surprising my brother initially showed me this place and you wouldn't know that there's a restaurant in this grocery store. By the way if you are looking to do authentic Mexican food cooking this is the place to get your groceries. The restaurant part of the business is now our go-to place for all birthdays and other occasions. The asada tacos are amazing, the meat platter can feed your entire party. It does get busy and the service gets a little slow but is always very polite. I always recommend anyone who wants Mexican food and great atmosphere this is the place. read more

If you are an OG, you remember when the restaurant part of this grocery store was just a bar style situation by the produce. There was only seating for about 15 people total and all that was on the menu was tacos, tortas, and burritos. AND EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. Honestly, the juiciest and yummiest tortas in town. But then the restaurant opened and omg. First of all it is gorgeous. The traditional hand carved chairs and booths you may be used to but the ceilings are so high and there is a fountain and the menu is now huge. Anything you can think of is on there. However as someone who has been eating here since a child, I am so glad the original menu items are on there. It is still my go to place for tortas. The asada one is my favorite, and no one else in the city has matched it. Also, you can still go right into the grocery store and please do so! They have elotes every single day! read more

I was SO excited to checkout this spot and ESPECIALLY eat the food. I walked through the grocery store and saw quite the selection. Lastly, found the restaurant and loved the decor. At the time of seating, I wasn't greeted in until after ~10 mins of sitting. The server didn't greet me nor introduce herself and asked if I was ready to order. I had to request all I wanted since she didn't check up on me. Otherwise, the salsa wasn't amazing nor was the agua de horchata. I did have tacos al pastor & gorditas de barbacoa - which were great! The green salsa was WAY better than the sals they serve as the main go-to with the chips. I'll be more than happy to update this IF I come back...which is unlikely at this point. Oh, and they don't have a drink menu nor served alcohol when I visited. read more

Everything smells good once you walk in. Pics in the menu looks good and makes you feel like "damn I'm bout to eat some good authentic Mexican food. We ordered a tabla for four people and when it hit the table we was like damn that's good. We started digging into it and honestly nothing I mean NADA had flavor. Felt really disappointed. The micheladas was fya tho. read more

Love this place! The atmosphere is beautiful and the people are so kind. I like the location because it is right near my friend's house so we can access it easily. We both love the arroz con pollo! There is a young gentleman there that acts as the host. Super sweet and happy to talk with customers about their experience. He told us he wants to go to law school and we cannot wait to see what life has in store for this kind young man. YUM. read more

I don't know why this place hasn't recieved better reviews and recognition! We have been multiple times the past few years and it's fire every time! Fun part is also going next door to the Hispanic market and seeing all the different kinds of Hispanic food. Only negative thing is their butchery looks incredible, but we don't speak Spanish and the menu for what you can get is not easy to understand, perhaps that's on purpose I don't know but we would love to give them more if our money if we could figure out what we are trying to order because they are ALWAYS slammed when we go. read more

Very Mexican authentic. Food was out fast to us & me and the hubby sat next to the water fountain it was very peaceful as well! Would recommend only thing I kind would recommend to the restaurant is instead of giving out cans of Pepsi instead of it being in a glass when dining in they brought out a can of Pepsi from the refrigerator and on top of that it wasn't very cold but overall it was amazing also the steak burritos are on point!! Keep up read more

No alcoholic beverages. My husband ordered carnitas all he got was what looked like left overs. we have been to so many Mexican restaurants never have we gotten meat that looks like this. My husband ended up ordering something different. At the end we realized it was the waitress fault who messed up the order and still charged us. The wrong plate. Our ticket at the end ended up being wrong. Definitely will not be coming back. read more

This place is comfortable and nice, as soon as you walk in you have music playing which sets the mood and takes you to another place, great food and the servers were polite. The salsas made the tacos they have a variety if you like hot salsas with mocajete flavor , you'll like the salsas , will definitely come again. read more

So I walk in a hair before 7:00. The young man was about to seat me then realized, "oh, we don't serve dine in past 7. Just to-go only". I show him the hours they have listed on their site that shows 8. He points to a handwritten sign in the restaurant that says to-go only past 7. So I tell him I've never been to their restaurant before and that I travel a lot and rate burritos at every restaurant I visit. I ask him if he's sure he doesn't want my business? The young man checks with the kitchen and returns telling me no. So here's my review about this establishment that doesn't need your business. read more

This place is a must try. I recommend their tripa tacos (extra crispy), lengua taco and chorizo. It's authentic as you can imagine. I was so excited when they finally decided to expand their operations to a full restaurant. Definitely a great place, a hidden gem. I have yet to explore other dishes. I've seen photos of their other dishes and by far, it looks very good. Excited to try them! read more

No prenden el aire acondicionado y hasta sale uno con coraje por el calor. La comida estaba rica, pero las meseras no se movían. La mesera nuestra se tardo casi 20 minutos solo en tráenos nuestras bebidas y solo estaba atendiendo a dos mesas en total. read more

Service. Excellent. Food. Flavorful. Ambiance. Wonderful setting. The salsa I chose was mild and contained plenty of onion which is always a plus to me. I ordered a steak burrito and it's the same price as a fat food chain with much better flavor! I re heated two days later and all the flavor was still there. Our server was attentive and gladly explained several menu items. Clean, friendly, tasty, authentic. Goals! read more

It has been a while since I was here, and I blown away when I found the little lunch counter has been replaced by a full service restaurant!

Guanajuato Restaurante - Inside the Restaurant Guanajuato - Tacos Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

my fiancé and i get tacos al pastor every time, they are so delicious! however, customer service 2/3 times is bad. i waited on the phone for 10 minutes to place my order, and no one helped me. when we were dining in person, our waitress never came to check on our table. it could be a language barrier issue, but we had interacted with english speaking staff. nevertheless, frustrating. if someone had just talked to me i could've answered in the spanish i know. it's not hard to order seven tacos al pastor read more

even before it was a restaurant and they had their little spot inside the grocery store it was still so good
