Went there a couple weeks ago. Food was good and priced right. Atmosphere very lacking but would recommend it over the other Mexican restaurants in this town that are all cookie cutter, this one is a little unique read more

Tonight was my first time stepping in and loved that I saw they offered a veggie burrito since my friend and I don't eat meat and I also don't eat any dairy products. On the menu the veggie burrito didn't say it came with cheese, but while we were waiting for it to be made the guy who took our order was nice and came out and asked us if we wanted cheese on it even though I declined. The burrito was really good and definitely something I would get again! The guy who took our order and made our food was really nice and friendly. It wasn't busy when we went in and the food came out quickly as well. The food is reasonably priced and I will definitely go back! read more

Do I even need to taco bout it? $2 tacos!? Like for real!? This small gem is exactly what I've been looking for all these years in college. Don't let the low price scare you. Each taco was amazing! I paired them with rice and beans on the side to add more to my food palate! While you're waiting for your tacos, order their chips with salsa, queso, or guac! (I personally LOVED the queso but all would be good) Honestly, you can't go wrong here! Everything tasted like authentic Mexican, and I can't wait to go back for another Taco Tuesday! read more

Authentic and delicious. A full range of tacos for every palate and reasonable cost. I drop in here for a quick tasty lunch often.

A little hole in the wall that really puts out a great product. I don't really have any complaints. The food is good; the service is good. I got the mango chicken, al pastor, and mole. All of them were great especially with the house sauces read more

Indy Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Best tacos place in the Midwest. And that's an understatement. Affordable and delicious. The steak poblano taco is the best taco I've ever had. Only $3 and I can eat 10 of these if I nobody was looking read more

Wow! So glad we finally checked this place out! Great friendly service and a packed house made for a great lunch visit. Delicious and affordable tacos! We tried the Chorizo, Al Pastor and Shrilmp and my goodness were they good! The Al Pastor was great with fresh cilantro and onions on top and a twinge of sweet with the pineapple. The shrimp was good but a bit too rich for me to eat more than half of it - I'll try the fish next time. Love that they serve beer here too! We came for lunch but we'll bring our husbands next time for dinner and then we'll grab a beer too! $13 and lunch for two of us! Fantastic! We'll be back! read more

Indy Tacos - Yumm! Shrimp, Al Pastor and Chorizo tacos - delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Came here as stop number 3 of our "Taco Crawl 2017". This was hands down the best of all. There is not a whole lot of atmosphere inside, however that is not what I am here for. Yes, they have a very nice, painted mural on the wall of the Indianapolis skyline, but I'm here for tacos. Prices are fair, $2-3 for a taco, depending on what you are looking for. The more extensive tacos (fish, veggies, multiple condiments and additions to meat inside) means more expensive (still only $3). As we did with every stop, we got a simple chicken taco and taco al pastor. The chicken taco was pretty good, standard, served with cilantro and onion and lime on the side. They had cucumber and radish to help cleanse the palate (?) which was unique of this place. The taco al pastor though, HOLY COW! This thing was delicious, the only one of the places that had pineapple in it, and you could definitely taste the difference. The star of the show was still the pork however, and would've been my favorite of the night with or without the pineapple. One of the people we were with had the shrimp and another had the fish, both of which looked great.I will definitely be coming back to try more tacos. read more

I think this may be my 2nd favorite just taco joint in Indy (2nd to Chinita Poblana), but this place offers quick, friendly service, solid, fresh, basic tacos and other items (the guacamole is quite good). It's no-frills, but who needs frills when you just have a taco craving that needs to be crushed? And the price is right. Ask for both salsas, which come in squeezy bottles, and don't be shy with it! read more

You ever have one of those moments where you take your first bite of something and your brain shuts everything else out because what you're eating is too damned good? Indy Tacos should change its name to Indy Tortas. Holy mother of god is this a great torta. Wherever they get their bread should be awarded a prize. I work in the area now and I get to try all the menu items. I win. You can win, too: Get here and get this torta! read more

A co-worker and I were on a mission to find the best tacos in Indy and we came across Indy Tacos. This place is delicious and authentic and we ending up coming multiple times a week. Not to mention the friendly staff who remember you and your favorite tacos. The Barbacoa, mango chicken, and shrimp quickly became my go-to eats. Get queso and chips or quac if you're feeling extra hungry. They also have Jarritos drinks. Tamarind flavor is my favorite and I'm so glad they stock it. This place is fairly popular for the area. Don't get caught in the lunch rush unless you are planning to take it back to the office. If you can stay, enjoy the soccer matches on tv or chat it up with your lunch date over upbeat tunes. Overall, perfect place to grab great tacos for lunch while staying well within a lunch budget. You'll leave full and happy! read more

Food is delicious no complaints here. Eat here you won't regret it. Customer service is great.

After reading rave reviews about this place, having a friend recommend it, and also being convenient to my new apartment, my husband and I decided to try it. Maybe I'm a taco snob, but overall, I wasn't impressed. The good: the guacamole is to die for. It's fresh, it's chunky, it's delicious. The store itself is very clean, and the lady running the register was very friendly and helpful. She suggested a couple other things on the menu, but since I don't eat fish, I wasn't going to order fish tacos. But the great things stop there. The prices online vs in store are different, each taco starts at $2.25. Adding cheese is 25 cents more per taco. I felt the tortillas were dry and lacking flavor. They were sticking to the parchment paper, not cool. I ordered my take out at around 3, after the lunch rush. I felt like these tortillas were fresh around 1, and had been sitting there waiting to be used up before dinner. Definitely not fresh. We had chicken and steak, and both meats were dryer and less flavorful than anticipated. We ordered takeout, and had cheese on the side. The amount of cheese given was appropriate for about 4 tacos, not the 11 we ordered. There also wasn't enough green salsa for our tacos either. Also, don't even bother getting the chips for your guac here. They lack flavor, and I would rather get some Tostitos chips. Overall, for 11 tacos (kinda small tacos at that) with cheese and a big container of guac, it was $33. Too much for the lackluster flavor and quality. If you want real authentic tacos.... head over to the taco stand downtown across the street from the IndyGo HQ. That's where the real tacos are at. read more

Sturdy, fairly authentic tacos at great prices! Having lived in Tejas for a number of years, I'm a skeptic of Indy Mexican food in general. Indy Tacos is the closest I've found so far to an authentic Austin taco joint. Their salsas are both great, with the red boasting a real red chili kick. The mole was rich, if a little simple and slightly bland. The bean dip was a great surprise, loaded with chorizo and queso. Where Indy Tacos really shines is its corn tortillas. They're homemade with just the right hit of grease. The staff was attentive, and while the dining area is nothing special, it's clean and nice enough. read more

This place is sooo good! Im in love!!! I wanna go every day!!!! Im sure you will fall in love too! DY read more

I don't even remember how I read about this place online. But I am very glad I finally decided to try this place out. It is definitely a hidden gem. (although to be honest, Indy Tacos? not a catchy name at all...) The decor and overall vibe: clean, contemporary and straightforward. The staff: several quite friendly young folks without too many knowledge though. Funny enough, he doesn't even know what their special actually is other than the name. The food: Simply great! I ordered Guac (chunky style, well-balanced flavor), mango chicken taco (not that impressive but good enough) and Al pastor taco(this is a winner! so good!). I had a trip to San diego recently and kind of disappointed with the Mexican food there in general. But it indeed inspired me to try more Mexican food when I came back. I had limited number of experiences when it comes to Mexican restaurants. Although, usually the biggest problems I feel are: 1. too much salt; 2. weird oil/porky taste in general. 3. Chips are too oily (because of the bad oil taste, the chips usually taste bad as well) At least in Indy Tacos, the saltiness is just right. There is no off/weird flavor at all. Really clean taste. Also, it probably has the best restaurant tortilla chips I have ever had. The location is not super convenient unless you live close by. Overall, it is not extremely worth the detour but definitely better than a lot of taco places! read more

Delicious high quality authentic tacos. We had the Fish and Mango Chicken Tacos. The Horchata is a perfect compliment to the food. You will not be disappointed. The prices are very very modest. You will leave satisfied by the exceptional tasting food and be eager to return with friends. This family owned and operated business exceeds the five star rating. If you live close by walk over. If you are miles away it is worth the trip. read more

Excellent street style tacos. Corn tortilla shells tasted great, and offer more fiber than flour tortillas. The service was speedy and friendly. I had the chicken taco and it had great flavor and the meat was juicy. I also had the cheese covered corn (I can't remember the official name of it). It was really good. It was an ear of sweet corn, covered in mayo, then rolled in cheese and spices. A nice combo of slightly sweet and savory. I was impressed with how good the sweet corn was for being out of season. I was also glad the the cheese and mayo wasn't super thick like another ear of corn that I've had before. I would definitely return to Indy Tacos to try out some of their entrees. read more

Delicious. Nearby. Vegetarian choices. Eager to please. Locally owned. Thank you! Sure, beans & rice alone can make a fine burrito or taco; but Indy Taco sizzles up veggies like mushrooms, onions, & zucchini & serves 'em up in a grilled flour or soft corn tortilla topped with fresh cilantro, radishes, cucumber, lettuce & tomato. Squeeze that lime wedge, don't be shy, give it all a little sprinkle. Love their elote; asked for & received their chili pepper shaker & gave it a really thorough dusting. Spicy! They also have quesadillas & tortas on their menu, with choices of beef, chorizo, chicken, & pork to mix & match. Chips with guac, salsa or queso, and cans or bottles of drinks. They know the restaurant biz, after years at Mama Carolla's. As time goes by & with support from the neighborhood, they can grow. Urge them to incorporate some outdoor seating for the season! Heaven knows there's plenty of parking in this little center, cordon off some & perhaps build a little deck. They deserve to be that busy; try it yourself & you'll see. read more

I drive by Indy Tacos all the time but today I decided to try it. Loved it! I had barbacoa, al pastor, and jalapeno tacos. This is my new go-to for tacos. read more

You know a place is good when you daydream about going there again. I had NO IDEA this place existed until a few weeks ago when a girlfriend asked me to check it out with her. It's a little hole in the wall joint without much fuss. It could be located in a sewer drain for all I care because I'd STILL go there and drool while dreaming of their quesadillas and chips with queso. They have a dining area so you can dine in, but I always get my food to go. You can call it in, but I just wait because it's never more than 10 minutes even for decent sized order. Everything here is delicious. Tacos? YUM. Queso? Wish I could eat it every day. Quesadillas? Marry me. The only thing I have tried here that I didn't care for was the guacamole, but it's just a personal preference because others in my group liked it a lot. All in all: Run, don't walk, to Indy Taco! read more

More like 3.5 stars. I liked it but I didn't love it. And a bummer that the tortillas are not made in house. Clarissa at the counter was so pleased with all the Yelp reviews that declare the tortillas are delicious but in fact they are not hand made; they are from a package. I told her that you know what? You had me convinced. The tortillas are actually really toasty and delish! Apart from that, the asada tacos were good but missing a little something. Also the chicken fajita taco needed a little bit more flavor. I usually like a traditional taco without the fajita fixings but I'm glad I went with this taco because the vegetables added some more spice to the mix. Clarissa and her Dad were a joy to talk to. We chatted it up about going back to Mexico and how we miss that part of the world. But it's okay, because now that they are here in Indy they can share tacos to the rest of the world. And eventually, the goal is to make those tortillas in house. Hahaha. One day! read more

Tacos were good, but they are very traditional, not a lot of add-ons or extra spices. The Chorizo was very salty. I highly recommend the El Pastor taco (pork). Be sure to either get the guacamole or queso. Tacos are $2 a piece. read more

I can't wait to try this place again in a few weeks and bump this review up to five stars. There's still a few kinks to work out, no doubt, but man if the food isn't delicious. I showed up right at the beginning of a lunch rush, and was lucky enough to be at the front of a line that quickly went out the door. Everyone was so excited for the tastiness that nobody complained, but between ordering and receiving our food, it took about forty-five minutes. A big part of this was that the place was just understaffed at the time -- one person in the kitchen and one person taking orders and bussing, all at once. They seemed to get a third right at the end of our meal, but the poor staff was swamped until then. Once we got it, though, everything was heavenly. I don't think it was just our insatiable appetite by that point, although if that's secretly by design, it's genius. Besides full staffing for the lunch rush, though, there are a few things Indy Tacos could do to speed up the process: -- People should bus their own tables, even if just by placing their dishware in a bucket over the trash can. -- The line should wrap around inside rather than out the door to keep customers from bailing. -- Customers should get numbered orders or placards to help the staff match the food to the customer -- there were two slip ups while I was there. Indianapolis can't do with enough taco places. Tacos are amazing. Thank you, Indy Tacos, for filling that need on north Keystone. read more

Believe the hype folks! Indy Tacos is serving up some pretty delicious tacos. After waiting forever and a day to visit, I was super excited to check this place out. Yelpers have been buzzing about this place for weeks. Indy Tacos is located in a strip mall next to a hair salon. The interior is pretty blah. Plenty of seating. Sparsely decorated. Service was great. The guy who took my order was pretty nice. They had a steak pablano taco on special for $2.50. Man, that's cheap! I wasn't super hungry so I order one steak special and an additional fajita taco. I also ordered some queso and chips. I believe I spent less than $11. Good deal! I took my order to go. When I finally arrived home I was ready to dig in! The chips and queso were pretty standard. Good, but nothing exceptional. Now the tacos. Wowsa! So flavorful with herbs and veggies. The meat was seasoned nicely on both tacos. I've never had a taco so flavorful. I was very pleased and so happy this place lived up to the hype! read more

I moved to Indianapolis from Phoenix yesterday. Today I searched for tacos near our place and Indy tacos came up with high reviews...the pictures looked good and they served corn (elote) much to my excitement. My wife and I walked in and looked over the menu. It had the usual and some additional things that were not what I would call authentic. My wife I asked if they had carnitas, her go-to taco, the nice guy looked blankly and said he didn't know what that was. At that exact moment, I knew we were doomed--beyond doomed, trapped to eat bad tacos before we even order them. My wife explained carnitas were slow cooked pork and the guys explained that they served pastor tacos. Smilingly she ordered a steak (not called carne asada) burrito. I then asked about the fish taco. Me:"Is the fish taco fried?" Nice guy: "it's tilapia" Me: "but is it fried?" Nice guy: "uh, it's tilapia" Me: (rephrasing) "so then it's grilled?" Nice guy: "it's tilapia...so" Me: sure I'll take one. I got one fish taco, two steak tacos, and elote (grilled corn). Our food came and it looked decent. The steak tacos served with onion and cilantro and the tilapia with cabbage and creamy sauce. Double corn tortillas served tender. Also my corn. The steak was really bland--normally if you put a squeeze of lime and some red sauce you can make anything taste good. I sadly ate my two steak tacos (I'm not at the point in my life, if ever, where I can afford to not eat food I paid for). Fish taco was ok. The red hot sauce was ok, I would say that the green sauce was good. The corn kinda made me cry. If you have ever had good Mexican corn, you would of cried too. The most beautiful part of corn is when you can taste the blackened char of sweet corn with mayonnaise, chile pepper, and cheese (cotija)--it's a personal favorite from food carts throughout Mexico. This was skewered boiled corn that had never seen the high heats of a grill (not even I could justify finishing it--sorry dad). My wife's under seasoned steak burrito was fine. It was however served with lettuce in it. While I'll leave the debate of how lettuce should never be in a warm burrito and it's surely not authentic, my wife knew it was in there. However it wasnt shredded lettuce, it was lettuce you might find in a bagged set at your grocery store (shredded carrots and all). That's absolutely insane. A big red flag. They were out of their special for the day (shrimp tacos). As we were eating and in eyesight, one of the employees went to the back freezer, near the restrooms, and pulled out pre-cooked frozen shrimp for their special. A massive bag of Walmart bought precooked shrimp. It takes less than a minute to cook shrimp, in that time shrimp will soak up the flavors that you are cooking it with. Unless youre serving shrimp cocktail, you shouldn't serve precooked shrimp...neither authentic or fresh. I'm calling out all people who gave this place 5 star reviews. Shame on you. Good tacos are about using fresh ingredient in a simple way. This place was full the entire time my wife and I were there, I'm happy their business is doing well. I'm not happy that I may have to reevaluate all the reviews for Mexican food in Indy. I know I'm biased, I've lived in many communities with large Latino populations. I've worked and ate my way through Mexico. These tacos are not authentic, I wouldn't even call them good. I would say that these would be acceptable on taco Tuesday night at your great aunts house who went to Cabo thirty years ago on a cruise and now "knows good Mexican food". Save your money, go find one of the many other Mexican restaurants in town. Better yet, go to the Mexican market--get a thinly sliced cut of meat, and grill it on high and season it with salt. It would taste better and be more authentic. Hopefully this was a one-off experience of Indianapolis food. My new city, my new home. read more

I am now a regular at Indy Taco. I have dined in multiple times. The food is constantly good and if you are on a budget, they have daily specials that make the food affordable. The place is always clean, service is quick and friendly. This isn't a traditional Mexican restaurant in the sense that you get free chips and salsa at the table, so if you want chips, the salsa is good, but the queso and guacamole are very fresh, and very tasty. I have had their burritos, which are good, but the tacos continue to be the highlight. I'm gonna keep coming back! read more

Indy Tacos is one of those things I love to find: a little hole-in-the-wall place that you would pass by without noticing that serves delicious food. To call the interior lackluster would be to undersell it. It is decor for people who think Miracle Whip is too spicy. You go in, place your order, sit down to wait, and there is nothing for your eyes to rest on for long while the time passes. Then your order comes and who cares about the decor? This food is really, really good! Their guac is delicious and their Al Pastor taco is absolutely a must. Don't pass this place by. It's worth your notice. read more

Total hole in the wall taco place with delicious food! I had the burrito and guacamole with chips. So good. This is not a fancy place, has very simple decor, but who cares - the food hits the spot. Will be returning frequently. read more

Indy Tacos - Burrito with the marinated pork - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

So let me get started...... first of all very overpriced $3 for 1 taco? I'm confused then they give you 15 chips for like a gallon of queso and then a refill of chips cost extra? Oh and my chicken taco was cold? I guess it's a cute little shop and pretty yummy BUT wouldn't spend ur money on here unless your just hungry and in the area and need a quick bite also I didn't get much Mexican vibes from this place at all??? read more

Great authentic high quality and fresh tacos. Owner bet me that these would be the best I had ever had, and I lost the bet they were that good. Better that the other popular taco shops in Indy. Definitely the best tacos on Keystone by far. And even better than the tacos I had in Mexico. Decor is simple, plenty of parking out front, and the menu is nicely priced. $2 per taco. And they come with fresh meat, 2 tortillas, and their salsa is made fresh daily too! read more

Great hole in the wall taco spot. Prices are low and the food is reliably good, I like the steak burrito, it's large and filling. service is fast and the interior is no frills, but I'm not complaining. My husband loves the chorizo taco, and we both love the guac. It's one of our go-to taco picks, other than chinita. If you haven't had Indy tacos it's worth a try! read more

I'm always on the hunt for a great taco. This wasn't it. Where's the flavor? A chicken taco must have seasoned chicken, yes? When I think Mexican food I think spices, not so much as spicy, but those beautiful Mexican spices being rubbed into chicken for tacos. I don't think my chicken even had been salted. It was literally non seasoned chicken with white onion and cilantro. I squeezed lime, I added the sauce, I ate the cucumbers, the taco didn't change. I had the chicken mole taco coming in at a stiff $3.50/taco. The chicken was tender but what happened to the flavor? The service was great. read more

Gah.....I hate writing bad reviews. I wanted to love this place--I didn't. I'll start with the good first. The lady working the counter is great and was perfectly polite. Super clean bathroom! Soccer on the flat screen. Nice Latin music but not too loud. Relaxing environment. And now for the food. I don't understand the double wrapped taco. There is no point to it. Especially when they don't taste house-made. They taste just like the ones you can by at Wal Mart. I had the chicken mole, beef, and chorizo. I didn't get any mole flavor with the chicken. Maybe it was cooked in? The beef was dry. The chorizo had good flavor but was too salty for my tastes. It was all just too dry and the flavor just was not there. I feel bad writing this review. I wanted to love it. I'll probably go back and try other stuff but the tacos are out. read more
