    Birria Bowl
    Laura P.

    Food is always delicious! The birria bowl had such good flavor and plenty of toppings. The food is usually quick as well. You can't beat the environment of Sun King and how modern and relaxed it is inside!

    It was great to visit this fun Sun King food and beer hall. The industrial feel, large airy space, great beer selection and various kitchens make it easy to see why this spot is a popular Carmel destination. We met a big group of people who arrived to Sun King a while before we did as we were all traveling into the Indy area and meeting here. We had the chance to learn from the group which kitchen offerings were table favorites. La Margarita was the clear winner. Everyone seemed to like what they got from this kitchen. While ordering I asked the La Margarita cook's team which item was their favorite and ordered that. So we got the CHICKEN EN CHIPOTLE burrito bowl which is served in a bowl over a bed or Mixi-rice and black beans with Fischer Farms Adobo grilled chicken, chipotle salsa, guacamole, queso fresco, & pickled red onion. 5/5. So good! I love variations of pollo en crema and that's what this dish is. Creamy delicious chipotle sauce smothering grilled chicken with all these fresh ingredients. I'd for sure order this again.

    Birria tacos and add a side of rice
    Tabatha S.

    Yelp would lead you to believe the nachos are the star of the show. And let me tell you, the nachos are great and quite a good bargain. But if you want to have the best bite in Sunking, you get the Birria tacos. They're cheesy and meaty and juicy and crispy and full of flavor. They're everything you could want in Birria. It only comes with two tacos (which isn't a great deal) but add a side of rice, talk a friend into splitting some chips and queso, and you've got a tasty meal!

    Ensalada Margarita
    Andrea P.

    This place is in with the SunKing in Carmel. It is a counter service restaurant with a server that will bring you drinks only, so order your food then take a seat and someone will come and take your drink order. You will be given a pager and when your food is ready you will pick it up and bring it back to your table. Now about those nachos!! The chips are fried and so crunchy! Generous amount of toppings as well. I chose the chicken and it was delicious! The salad was equally as good. In all honesty I think you could split the nachos just depending on how hungry you are. But definitely a good portion size.

    Omg the birria tacos are to die for. They are so delicious. It was such a great quick meal for $11. I got the two birria tacos with chips and salsa. The fountain drinks are free refills. Fun environment with sports and music going on.

    I went here two days in a row last weekend lol! It's that good! For the very first time I tried one of their burrito bowls. It was actually really good! I love the seasoning and sauces that they use. The second time I went I got the chorizo nachos. Man, we're they spicy! But I mean, just look at the picture. They were amazing. Great to share with a few friends. I loved the Queso cheese and Guac on them. La Margarita might be my favorite spot for Mexican in all of Carmel. Which means, I need to try their real location in fountain square!

    Birria taco meal
    Rachael J.

    Located inside the Sun King as one of the food vendors. I wish they were open for lunch more than just Thursday/Friday during the workweek. Birria tacos. Is there anything more to say?? The order comes with 2 tacos that doesn't seem like a lot but they are very filling! Brisket covered in cheese with cilantro and onions fried in a tortilla shell that's been greased up by the heavens themselves. Pro tip: You can add chips and salsa to any taco and make it a meal. You get two salsas with the meal, a spicy red and a fresh tomatillo. The chips are super crunchy and seriously addicting.

    Ensalata margarita salad
    Linda L.

    On the right side of the SunnKing distillery you can find the La Margarita stand... the nachos are gigantic.. so went for the ensalata salad today with the chip trio. The chips are nice and thick, and we also got a little side of the queso which was addicting today. The salad has a nice crunch with the nuts in it, and good flavor from the pickled onions. If I can make salad taste this delicious at home, I'd be in much better shape. The only thing that was a little off putting was that the salad wasn't cut in bitable pieces and there were some stems.. but I would still get it again.

    Nachos, quesadilla, tacos, guacamole
    Elizabeth Z.

    Such a fun spot! Inside Sun King brewery as one of the food hall stations. Huge line can be intimidating but the service was very quick and they give you tons of food. Great spot to sit and wait and converse and people watch while you wait too. Walking on the Monon before and after is always nice. Cheese quesadilla was better than most, and the different salsas were good too

    Brisket Nachoooos
    Nicole S.

    When you order nachos, just be aware that they will hand you a baking sheet filled with tortilla chips and stuff on top. A baking sheet, people! That's a lot of nachos. An order of nachos is enough for three people, just an FYI. I seem to always forget about the baking sheet of nachos, though, because whenever I come here and order for myself, I always order the nachos. But it's because they are so good! So if you're in the mood for a meal of chips and meat that will satisfy three people, get the nachos here. You'll leave satisfied.

    Chorizo Bowl and Chips and Salsa
    Jorja L.

    I love the downtown location, so when a friend asked to meet at Sun King for drinks and dinner, I knew I'd be choosing La Marg for food. It did not disappoint. (And actually, I prefer the ordering process and setup here vs downtown location). I ordered the Chorizo Bowl and chips and salsa. The bowl was the perfect size for dinner and very tasty, with lots of fresh ingredients. The Salsa starter came with plenty of chips to share and was only $4! I loved pairing my meal with all the offerings at sun king and really loved the convenience of the location. I'll return soon!

    Birria tacos
    April K.

    Wow! I've already told like 3 people about these birria tacos since I tried them at lunch today! Based on some foodie groups I frequent , Birria are all the rage right now. I've been Interested to try them so when I saw them on the menu, I had to try. Now, I've read that Birria tacos come with some sort of dipping juice and these didn't but they sure did NOT NEED anything more. These flavorful, tender , juicy braised beef tacos were delicious every single bite. They stayed crispy despite all the juice, they were melty, they had cilantro and onions. So so good, and I can't wait to get them again.

    Chicken Nachos
    Katie E.

    What better place than somewhere that you can grab a Sun King beer and a plate of nachos! Did you know that you can order a 1/2 order of the nachos? Not a menu options, so anyone looking for a "smaller" portion, this option is for you! Although note that the portions are HUGE!!! I am a big fan of the Monon and what better half way point on a bike ride than La Margarita - located inside of the sinking! Love that I can sit outside and enjoy the weather! Great chicken nachos with a lot of flavor.

    The food is great but the service is mediocre. Very slow to take your order and in no particular hurry. Again, food is fantastic.

    We love the Social Cantina in Carmel. It feels like vacation every time we visit there. I want to…read morehighlight our most recent visit when our family of 12 celebrated Father's Day. The restaurant easily accommodated us is a separate area that was near the restaurants and a long booth bench on pine side. Perfect for our four five and under. Our server Hannah was cheerful and knowledgeable and was an asset to our celebration. Our food and drinks were delicious. We got the margarita tower (twice). It is delicious and definitely a statement (And the bartender certainly has a great sense of humor)! We all had delicious food. I tried the Korean chicken bowl as a salad (I love that you can order rice or lettuce for the bowls). I tried avocado with ahi tuna appetizer and could easily make that a meal. If you think Asian/Mexican fusion is not a thing, think again. We will be back to the Carmel location as well as the Indy location. Sit indoors, sit outdoors and enjoy a great experience either with a larger party or family party or just a couple of you

    We've been curious about social cantina ever since it opened. I took my mom here for a Mother's Day…read morelunch without a reservation. I was shocked when it was barely busy. Our server was a nice girl, but extremely slow service. We had to ask for everything--straws, more water, more chips. She checked in on us maybe twice during our whole meal and didn't deliver our food. Food was pretty mediocre and had little to no seasoning. I'm still not 100% sure that the Margarita actually had alcohol in it as it was incredibly weak. The chips and dip flight is pretty cool in theory, but the queso and guac are the only dips that I would get. Everything else is just...meh. Your run of the mill Mexican joint at the corner will have better food and service than here. I would probably go somewhere else unless you're just looking for a cool vibe.
