La Piedad is one of my favorites! You couldn't ask for more with the tasty and cheap food and the great people. I've been going to La P since college and it hasn't changed one bit since the first day I went. Though I usually just get the super basic tacos, we went with the Texan Fajitas and a Chicken Chimichanga today. The fajitas were great but the chicken was a bit dry on the Chimichanga. Just load on the guac and the pico de gallo and it tastes great! When it isn't mid-afternoon (or maybe when it is) add on a frozen strawberry marg, they're to die for! During Covid, they've done a great job of social distancing and sanitizing tables after people use them. If you have the time in Broad Ripple, I would definitely recommend stopping in at La P! read more

It's official I have a new favorite Mexican restaurant. I discovered this gem on a walk through broad ripple and vowed that I would go, the next night, my husband and I went for date night. It was so amazing!!!!!! I am a big fan of Mexican food so my expectations are high! The chips were the best I've ever tasted and I am not exaggerating, they were nice and firm and complimented the salsa. Then I also ordered a margarita which was peach and it was also amazing not too frozen or sweet. Our entrees were enchiladas and steak tacos, my husband who is super picky loved them and said they were seasoned perfectly. Our service was great and we had a great experience, I absolutely can not wait to go back! read more

This is one of the better mexican restaurants in the Northside, the food is always good, the service is excellent and it is very inexpensive, I've been going there for years and have never had a bad experience/meal. read more

Great patio and good food! Unfortunately, we weren't able to actually sit on the patio because there was a big dinner rush. La Piedad seems to attract lots of college students and families. The prices here are a few dollars cheaper per dish if you compare the menu to other similar mexican restaurants around. My taco salad was good but the service was really spotty. We stood in a line outside waiting to be seated. They weren't taking names for a wait list. You just stand and wait until a table is ready. Our waiter was rarely seen so it was a struggle to get refills. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area but it was a very average experience. read more

Some would say it's a Broad Ripple classic! It's a very typical Mexican restaurant. Everything is served hot, quick, and tasty. The restaurant itself could use several updates but it is almost always busy so they must be doing something right! Our food came out so quickly and I was very full but I'm not sure if it was the lunch portion but the fajitas were lacking meat. I was eating a lot of sizzling onions and peppers. For my friend and I, our meal was $20 including tip so definitely a good value. Servers are not super outgoing as we were barely spoken to, we were pointed to our seats and nodded to when ordering. They check on you quite often so our drinks were filled and if we needed anything we were able to get it quickly. read more

Reasonably priced food, friendly service and a beautiful setting await you at La Piedad. We stopped for dinner after a 317 race in Broad Ripple just off the Monon. They have a wonderful shaded patio or eat inside. We opted out! Our server was attentive, friendly and accommodating despite the crowd. I started my meal with a 12 oz margarita which was cold and delicious. The menu offers a typical range of Mexican style foods with incredibly reasonable prices especially for the area. Most dinners were about $8. I selected a combo plate with chicken enchilada, chili relleno, taco and decried beans. The chili relleno was huge and excellent - gently fried and filled with cheese. It was a meal in itself and the star. The chicken taco was a hard shell taco packed with cheese and filling. Every ingredient was fresh. The enchilada was good too. The restroom situation was a little tight in a narrow hall typical of the small restaurants in Broad Ripple. I'll be back. read more

Food is 3 stars - nothing memorable either way. Service and cleanliness was 1 star. We never saw our server after food was dropped off. At that time we asked for chips, salsa, and water refills. They never came. We saw a server throw the glove they carry plates to the table onto the ground and the men's bathroom had no toilet paper (two empty toilet paper rolls) and a kids drawer chest that (when looking for toilet paper) were employee's toiletries like toothbrush and toothpaste.... read more

4.5 stars. First of all, let me give credit where credit is due... this place rocks! But I HAD to take a 1/2 a star away just because parking is a headache. It took longer to find a park than to eat our meal! NO EXAGGERATION... But, the margarita made up for the parking frustrations! I had a mango margarita on the rocks. DE-FRIGGIN-LICIOUS!! And it was priced perfectly. Great little watering hole that won't break the bank. I can't wait to go back with my peeps and throw back a few! But plan accordingly, these drinks aren't watered down. They are fruity, yet potent. You can't really taste the alcohol because they are made very well, but it's straight up Prego... "it's in there!" The restaurant is small, but the tables turn over relatively fast. So don't get discouraged if you walk in and it's packed. The wait isn't bad... Our server was an adorable little man who took pride in helping me order en español! It was fun! And he was pretty attentive to us. No complaints. We both had the chicken chimichanga...my dining companion had the dinner and I just did a la carte. I loved that I could order just what I wanted and not have to pay for the extras to go to waste.... I'm not a huge rice n beans fan. Just gimme that fried burrito and smother it in cheese! Chicken was moist and perfectly seasoned. And it was covered in cheese... Exactly what you'd expect from a good Mexican joint and they weren't stingy with it. I had enough that I could eat a little with every bite! I was a mouse in a previous life, so I ordered the queso dip as an appetizer but really didn't need it because my chimi ended up having plenty. I coulda gotten by on just salsa because the food comes out muy rapido! Best Mexican I've had in Indy! Prolly one of my new favorite spots! Next time, I'll Uber... read more

I've lived in Indianapolis for almost a decade and all different parts of town is this is still my favorite hole in the wall Mexican place! I drive all the way up to broad ripple to get their food now that I am more in the heart of downtown. The staff is friendly and efficient. My favorites are the steak tacos, arroz con pollo, queso and of course a strawberry margarita! It's a family owned restaurant and shows true with their close to home Mexican cooking and service. Ps if it's your birthday they will let you wear the sombrero and sing to you! Plus there's typically a fun treat. read more

Easily one of my favorite Mexican spots in Broad Ripple and have been coming here every week for almost a year and a half. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service is great. With the new COVID restrictions, the dining areas have been reworked to have fewer tables to provide as much space as possible between guests. Although the dining room may be configured differently now, the warm and inviting atmosphere has stayed exactly the same. Obviously the most important aspect of La Piedad is the food and it is incredible. I typically stick to the hard shell ground beef tacos because of dietary restrictions, but regardless of what I order is it always piping hot and full of flavor. I also am a big fan of their delicious chips and salsa which are always fresh and delicious. Besides their tacos, their taco salad is also delicious and a lighter option if you are not in the mood for a full taco meal. If you are looking for a spot to bring your family or really anyone, La Piedad is the perfect environment for whatever occasion. No need to worry about a dress code or paying a ridiculous amount of money for small portions, just come hungry for food and a good time. read more

La Piedad - Arooz Con Pollo & Cheese Dip w/ chips and mild salsa - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

If you're coming here for food, expect a large portion of average Mexican-American food. But I didn't write this review for what I ate. It's the service that shines at La Piedad. My experience showed that La Piedad has an attentive, hustling staff, even when the inside and patio are packed. My friend ordered a dish without beans, but beans came out on her plate. She shrugged her shoulders and started eating. About halfway through, our server came to check on us and saw the beans. He double checked our ticket, apologized for the error, and offered to bring her a plate of rice. She accepted, and our group was appreciative we had him as our server. In the future, I think it's best for me to come to La Piedad for a frozen margarita and a basket of chips and salsa, knowing that the staff will take good care of my friends and me. read more

I love La Piedad. I've been coming here for YEARS. I love all the staff. They are always super friendly, quick service. The food is always hot (temperature) and freaking DELICIOUS. I take people here all the time and recommendation people eat here all the time. My dad and I have been making Friday lunches a regular thing. I've never heard anyone I've taken there say they don't like it. Highly recommend if you're in the Broad Ripple and even if you aren't. Haha. ​ read more

The best Mexican restaurant in town. Have so many options and their food is to die for! Service is super good, food comes out so quickly and the environment is super fun. They are super kid friendly and the waiters love to teach them a bit of Spanish! read more

Quaint restaurant with friendly service. Food is bomb and the menu has so many options. My husband and I went during lunch and loved our meal! Great prices for lunch specials too. The chips and salsa were great and guacamole even better! I'd say a must stop if in the broad ripple area. read more

Fast service, good Mexican food & fun atmosphere in the summer. Can't go wrong with this place!! read more

La Piedad - Maria's with enchilada sauce - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I have certain friends that I call my "La Piedad" friends just because of our love for this place. The restaurant is located in a cute house-turned-restaurant near the Monon Trail in Broadripple. There are cute colorful lights hanging up outside and the place is always festive and hopping. The chips here are the best ever and we usually get about four refills of them (judge me), however the queso is where it's at. You can't (and shouldn't) go there without ordering it. I also recommend the "Burrito La Piedad" with seasoned ground beef or the "Burrito Ranchero." The service here is very quick and you will receive your food within ten minutes of ordering it. The servers are also really friendly and speak to you in Spanish. They love when people respond to them in Spanish as well and always get a kick out of it. This is just a great place to end a long week with- great food, drinks, and atmosphere. I ate here tonight and there's a good chance I'll be back within the next couple days... Why not? read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the food at this place. We ordered fajitas and taco salad. The good thing about this place is the sauce is fresh ( and not spicy!) . They do have spicy sauce upon request. I would recommend this place for family - nice Mexican atmosphere. Thank you for memorable meal! read more

Second visit here but first was long long ago - I remembered it differently. The last time I was here I was on a date (before I met my wife and she swept me away). I remembered it being a quieter place (I am sure we sat outside then though). I remember thinking the food was great. This second visit makes me wonder if the place changed over the years. We are big Mexican food lovers and this was not up to par. My wife had meatless enchiladas. I had the beef taco salad. The kids each had a quesadilla. My son didn't finish his - and he usually wants more. My wife and I both said "I wish I wouldn't have eaten that." My son did say it is the best rice - so they have that going for them. In short - my stomach hurts and there is no amount of teeth bushing I can do to get the taste away. The service - it was good at the door. But after that, there was little in the way of them talking. It was quick though. I know there are some great reviews for this place, but I don't like it. I was going to say it was a step above Taco Bell - but I would eat Taco Bell over this. I give it a second star for the location and having outside seating. read more

La Piedad - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My go to place for Mexican food. It's a nice little place on the Monon in Broadripple. It's very consistent and the food is fresh.

The food tasted delicious. The service was quick and nice. We will definitely be back again!

While visiting another place in the Broad Ripple area on a weekday afternoon, I spotted La Piedad. It caught my eye not because it looks like someone opened up a cafe in their house, but because it was packed! I mean every seat was filled on the patio. I figured if the place was packed like this on a weekday afternoon, it had to be good. We decided to walk to La Piedad today to try it out. If you need to park, you can find a few spaces across from the restaurant that you back your vehicle into in a diagonal manner. We were not sure what to do when we first walked in because there is a sign that directs you to wait to be seated. Since it was a Sunday afternoon and not to crowded we waited at the door as instructed. A few minutes later an employee let us know that we could sit anywhere we wanted. After snagging seats by the window, we were greeted more formally with menus. We ordered our drinks and after our server brought them, we ordered our food. They obliged us by adding shrimp to our combination nachos (Nachos La Piedad) that included chicken and beef. The default salsa was pretty good as it was not spicy which I really like. The nachos was a bit of a different story. They are good but they have a kick to them that I was not expecting. You may need a margarita to put out the smoldering fire that you will experience if spicy dishes are not your thing. Service was good also and other servers would pitch in to help our server. I plan to try to he fish tacos next time. read more

This place is much better than the last time I was here. The food is now at least up to par with most Indy-area Mexican restaurants. Be sure to ask for the hot sauce they keep in back and serve from a generic Switzer bottle (much better and hotter than the usual stiff you find on the table). The patio is the real attraction here. It's quiet and shaded and has a view of the Monon Trail (for people-watching). read more

The day has finally come. I've heard about the fab food at La Piedad from many friends and I'm apparently the only person who has never tried it before today. It certainly did not disappoint! It was a magical experience to say the least. It's a family owned Mexican restaurant and everyone speaks Spanish. Despite my many years of Spanish training, they spoke a little fast and I couldn't understand them at times (#fail). I ordered the infamous arroz con pollo, and man oh man it was delish. Chicken + rice + cheese sauce. It was heaven in my mouth, lemme tell ya. My only complaint is that the cheese sauce was a little rich for my taste and I wish there was more food on my plate :/ For less than $10 you can get a great Mexican meal (with free chips and salsa). OH and did I mention you get your food in under 10 minutes?? They're speedy quick, but I did feel like the waiter was rushing us to order. Overall it was a marvelous experience and I can't wait to explore the menu more. Sit on the patio on a nice day! read more

I was here a few months ago, but didn't start yelping until now. This place is always busy, every table is full at all times. The servers are all so friendly. The food was great, its not the greatest Mexican food, but its still absolutely delicious. Everytime i go to Indy, this is my place to go to. Get the arroz con queso if you want the best thing on the menu! read more

I'm a sucker for small restaurants with lines out the door. Walking past this place all the time we always thought about finally stepping foot inside. The day came and I was not disappointed. It's not going to blow your socks off, but it was charm you with it's small but mighty vibe. Right away the server spoke Spanish to us and didn't really stop. It was refreshing being about to communicate in Spanish as an expectation. Having said that, they totally speak perfect English and do to pretty much everyone. However, if YOU also speak Spanish, buckle up for some great practice. The food came out quick and was great. Solid beer choices and cheap (high quality) Margs are here for the taking. We were four people and that may be the limit. They made a table for 6, but in a tiny place I would not go above 4. I would stop back in for a tour de Ripple through several places. read more

i found la piedad while looking for restaurants with to go margs. but i also ended up getting some shrimp fajitas. they weren't like your normal shrimp fajitas, they were just alright. we got some chips & queso they were just alright as well. the margarita was definitely good. everything else was ok. i definitely want to try again & see if i like it next time. read more

Yummy! One of my favorite Mexican restaurants around Indy now. We went on a Sunday just a little before noon. We sat down, put our order in, and got our food in less than 15 minutes! The server was very nice and the food was great. We sat towards the front near the window and got to look out over the Monon trail. The restaurant was not very busy when we got there but started picking up a little around 12:30. We didn't get drinks but it looked like they had a large selections. The parking lot was small but there seemed to be plenty of street parking nearby. It was a very cute place and we plan to come back! read more

La Piedad - Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The staff at this corner Mexican restaurant will get you seated in a hurry. Service is quick and they aim to please. I love the outdoor covered patio where you can see people on the Monon trail and shoppers walking by on the sidewalks. The food is fairly typical of other Mexican restaurants, but the atmosphere outside makes this place stand out. We got a pitcher of margaritas and enjoyed our nachos with a pleasant breeze blowing through the patio. Meals were brought out quickly and our check was soon to follow. read more

Let's be honest, you come here for location, location, location. It's a stone's throw from the Monon trail in an area with lots of street parking and a lovely outdoor patio. If you're coming for the food, better luck next time. The food is fine. It's standard Mexican-American fare and it gets the job done. I've never had a bad meal here, but I've never had a stellar one, either. It is a wonderful place to go to drink margaritas and eat cheese dip outside. - service is good - restrooms are ok but could use a good scrubbing - giant vat of salsa is uncomfortably close to the restrooms and out in the open where any customer could cough in it - the indoor space is boring and cold, if you can't eat on the patio, come back another time read more

La piedad used to be a butler staple due to location but the prices for alcohol and lack of specials during the week have drove me to go to other establishments. The food here is pretty standard. Nothing has ever wowed me but I also haven't disliked anything I've tried so you are pretty safe with whatever you get. My go tos are fajitas, arroz con pollo and taco salad. All decent. The margaritas are pretty strong but extremely sweet! I personally cannot drink them. read more

La Piedad is the perfect restaurant for lunch and dinner. It is ideal for Butler University students because of its proximity to the campus. It is also very family-friendly. The menu has lots of options to choose from, and the staff is very welcoming. My favorite thing about La Piedad is the option of outdoor seating! This makes the place feel much bigger and is perfect for the summer/fall/spring seasons. Food always comes out very fast and tastes fresh! Get the chips and queso! I also highly recommend the arroz con pollo, but add lettuce on the side! While there are a few Mexican food options in Broad Ripple, La Piedad's is the most authentic for the best cost! read more

A good place to go if you're looking for authentic mexican! Right off the Monon Trail so it's really easy for access. Last time I went our queso dip was just barely warm, seemed like it needed to be heated up. When we mentioned it to the waiter I think they just microwaved it instead of getting us a new, hot dip. Our food was good, but again wasn't very hot once it reached the table. Thoroughly enjoyed my fajitas though so I'm willing to give it another shot read more

Favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! Great prices, delicious margs, and fast service!

Great food and service. I usually get carry out. They are quick and always get my order correct. The place is lively and lots of peeps eating inside and, when warmer, outside. I like that the waiters are Mexican. I HOPE the owner is as well and they all are making money. Especially the waiters read more

Great location for a taco place, right off the Monon Trail in Broad Ripple! This place is always busy when I see it, which must be a good sign. I came here with a large group of friends and somehow got seated immediately. A table just happened to be leaving as we entered. We ordered a couple pitchers of margaritas and downed so much chips and salsa/queso. Aside from that, I ordered 3 steak tacos, which were phenom and also pretty cheap! Everyone's food looked really good. The building itself is pretty small but also has a patio. Inside was crowded, very loud, and freezing. I suggest bringing a jacket if you sit inside. I was almost shivering the whole time we were there. Overall though, I would come back! read more

LOVE this place. Always, quick, accurate and friendly. Always provide extra salsa with no complaints and always ready to serve. The same people are always working and we've gotten to know them.
