Really enjoyed it here! The plaza looks like there's not much going on but the restaurant is pretty spacious. The service was very easygoing and not busy for Saturday lunch so me and my friend yapped for 3 hours Tiradito 8.5/10 Tangy creamy sauce with like spiced crunchy corn/pine nuts? The texture surprised me at first but I like the flavor Pasta huancaina 9/10 It tastes so familiar but also different at the same time. The sweetness and savoriness of the soy sauce and oyster sauce (I think) makes it so good Torta norteño 8.5/10 Cozy chili taste, mildly sweet and savory Pear pound cake 8/10 Not as fruity as I was expecting, more nutty but still yummy read more

The ambiance is a bit minimalist but you may like that. This isn't your standard bowl of chips and salsa on every table with a margarita machine going in the corner. The food was very good, but the menu wasn't your standard burritos, carne asada, etc. We had some open face tacos with ribeye and chorizo sausage. GREAT! There was also some salsa macha on the table and we dipped our sourdough slices in that. REAL ZIPPY and good. I bought a jar to take home. The owner was super friendly and happy to share any info about the dishes. I would be happy to come back and try some new things. read more

This has easily become one of my favorite restaurants, I try something new everytime I go and nothing has disappointed! Not to mention they are James Beard Semifinalist! Im so incredibly proud of them and am so happy I have the opportunity to enjoy their creations! Food? Try it all!! Dessert? GET the Pear poundcake a la mode!! You will thank or curse me later. I have not stopped thinking of it since getting it last month! So im happy to share I've already got it on the books for another trip! The staff are always so friendly and service is top notch! The owners are some of the sweetest people too! Supporting smalland local is just 1 of my favorite things to do! Their newly remodeled addition to the restaurant makes it so cozy and I feel as if I'm home. Its simple yet colorful, just makes me feel warm and happy from inside my belly! read more

First the staff is very welcoming, friendly and informative on each dish. She was able to explain items I had questions on. It's a relaxing atmosphere, that feels like you are visiting a local place you've been before. I had the purple (ube) horchata to drink. They also brought water to the table. My entree was the molé enchiladas (4). It was a good portion size. I needed to take one home (happily because it means I can enjoy the flavors again later). This was my second time and I am looking forward to coming back and trying a new item on the menu. read more

Stellar. I thought I knew flavor but Macizo showed me up. Food and drinks are unique and delightful. The pear pound cake is divine. I love their sourdough bread. Service was passionate and caring. Comfortable inviting clean dining room. Free parking. This isn't your typical Mexican restaurant so don't come here for that. This is a I'm willing to try new things and have a good time trying to figure out what's in my mouth place. Salud! read more

Had such a great time at Macizo. I went with a group on a Saturday, so it was pretty busy. We didn't realize they take reservations, but will definitely plan ahead next time. Even so, the wait was only about 20 minutes. I ordered the pasta huancaína and it was a 10/10. Flavorful and the perfect portion size. The spicy red macha sauce really tied everything together. We shared the molletes and the focaccia bread was soft and delicious. I also have to mention the sangrias. The rosé sangria is a must-try! Last but not least, the pear poundcake with ice cream was a 15/10. Definitely my favorite part of the meal. Can't recommend it enough. You can really tell the owners put a lot of care and intention into this place. Despite how busy it was, the service was still great. The amazing reviews are absolutely deserved. read more

Off rip: Macizo is not your typical Indiana Mexican restaurant. (It's actually Mexican-Peruvian.) Do not be like the couple I saw while I was dining, and ask for chips and queso. When told that there were no chips and queso, they asked for chips and salsa. When told that there were no chips and salsa, they got up and left. I wish that couple would have done themselves a favor and stayed, and tried something new. You can get chips and queso anywhere. But you can't get the kind of Mexican-Peruvian food that the people at Macizo Restaurant are making. The food is some of the best in Indianapolis -- period. And apparently, other people think so, too, because the place was packed for lunch in the middle of the week when I visited. Also apparently, other people outside of central Indiana think Macizo Restaurant is great because they were recently named a 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Great Lakes. I was fortunate to visit Macizo for the first time during an in-person Yelp Elite event. I got to try many things on the menu, including the enfrijoladas (basically, an enchilada covered in bean sauce). Everything I ate was amazing. So, I came back! This time, for lunch on my own dime. I ordered the mole enchiladas, plus refried beans and white rice on the side, because you gotta eat rice and beans with enchiladas. The mole was amazing: slightly sweet, slightly spicy. The rice and beans were a good idea to add, because the mole is so flavorful and rich, so it needed a bland (in a good way) element or two to take it down a notch. Refried beans are kind of my litmus test of a restaurant. I can tell when they are housemade, and when they are not. These ones are indeed made in house -- they look and tasted like they were freshly smashed. Because I keep it a buck with y'all, I have to mention that I wish the chicken in the enchiladas was a little more fork-tender. But that's it! Everything about the mole enchiladas was delightful. We also ordered the Sopa Criolla, a Peruvian soup with diced beef, potatoes, angel hair pasta, milk and a sunny-side-up egg on top. It was a comforting and tasty dish, and it comes with a slice of freshly made sourdough bread. But that bread wasn't enough, so we ordered some focaccia, which I remembered from the Yelp event as being the best focaccia I had ever tasted. And yep, it still is the best focaccia! One of the things that I love about Macizo is that they are so unexpected. Who knew that you'd find the best focaccia at a Mexican-Peruvian restaurant? But yes, you will, and they sell their sourdough loaves and focaccia to go, too. I almost forgot to mention their coffee drinks! If you want to taste something spectacularly unexpected that you've probably never had before, try the Carmina Says: cold brew coffee with pineapple juice, lime juice and blackberry syrup. It's served frothy and in an elegant wine glass, for that extra-special fancy touch. It's like a coffee and juice in one beverage. They also have beer and wine, if you're so inclined. The service here is excellent. The owner herself was the one to greet everyone and explain the menu. She was super friendly and open to questions, and you could tell that she loved the food and what she was doing. The whole place is just full of cheer and amazing food and drink. read more

Had the Guava Sangria and love it. We also had the mole enchiladas and the sopa criolla. Very good food and the service was Wonderful. Took a loaf of sourdough bread for home. Love it!!! Only downside is I wish they were closer to me. read more

This is officially my new favorite restaurant in Indianapolis. After living abroad for a year, it was on the top of my list to visit when we returned. We went within days of landing back stateside and were warmly greeted by the owners. I already loved the experience before we even sat down. As we were walking to our table, we ran into a fellow Yelp Elite / Indy food influencer, so you just know it's the place to be. Our table wanted to order as many things as possible because everything sounded AMAZING. We started with the guacamole bowl because, obviously. Also, it comes with homemade sourdough bread that they make daily which was incredible too. As I was reading the menu, I read that the tamales are nixtamalized and ground in house. That is a huge deal as that's a more laborious process but is the absolute best way for humans to consume corn. "The processing renders the protein more digestible, allowing tryptophan to be absorbed by humans." Probably 90% of corn you eat out isn't nixtamalized so this shows that they know food and really care. We immediately ordered the tamales and they were the best I've EVER had. I absolutely love lomo saltado, so when I saw the burrito de lomo saltado, I was immediately sold. It was big, fresh, well-prepared, and came with a side of bean salad. I would order it again immediately. I wish I could have it again now, but it's only 9am - LOL. I've heard amazing things about the tiradito tuna appetizer, pasta huancaina, and mole enchiladas too. We were a group of eight and every single person's plate was completely empty by the end of our meal. Everyone was so happy with the experience and it was made even sweeter when the owners brought out freshly-made Mexican sweet bread that they'd just made for everyone to try. I mean... what a dream!!! We had our toddler with us and were so appreciative of the kid's menu, the fact that they had highchairs, and the comfortability of the space being so family friendly. We chatted with the owners before leaving and it was truly such a memorable, delicious evening. Thank you so much! We'll be back and will be singing your praises ongoing! read more

Such a great restaurant! I've been here before but finally got around to taking my wife with me for late dinner and we LOVED it. They have mainly 4-person tables plus some bar seating, and the atmosphere and decor was lively and welcoming. We were able to get a table around without a reservation after about 40 minutes since it was so busy with Devour. The staff were very kind and patient despite us sitting down around 30 minutes before closing, and we never felt rushed to finish and leave. To start, we got the red sangria, seasonal agua fresca, and rajas con queso, which were all delightful! The bolilo bread was truly divine - like a thick focaccia (crispy outside soft inside) but sturdy enough to hold the weight of the heavy dip. For the entree, I had the taco norteño, which was so delicious and flavorful - the tortilla was great too. My wife has the enchiladas campechanas, and she loved the sauces especially the green mole. The red mole was nutty and warming, which was a nice complement to the green mole. The pickled red onions that came with the enchiladas really brought the ensemble together. Desert HAD to be the pear pound cake with the ice cream. The soft, warm, moist cake with the cold, rich ice cream was just a perfect way to end the meal. The owners, Omar and Luz, were wonderful and should be very proud of the wonderful food and service they've brought to the area. We will definitely be back! read more

What a gem of Intech Park! I loved my experience here. This is not just another Mexican restaurant. It has more unique, authentic feel with a hint of Peruvian cuisine as well. Any Latin American food lover should come here. I went for the Devour Indy menu. It's a three course meal and four of us ordered different things and tried each others food. The meatballs- great sauce The guacamole bowl- generous portion, great with the sourdough bread served with it. Sopa criolla- my favorite Peruvian soup. It has an egg, pasta, beef and potatoes in it. Served with bread. Perfect for winter! Jericalla- it's like a flan, not too sweet Pear pound cake ala mode - wonderful desert, moist pound cake with ice cream on top. All the servers who came to our table were nice, friendly and professional. I loved the atmosphere and I'm sure I'll come back. read more

Macizo - my first review of 2026 - set the bar so high for this year! I've wanted to go to Macizo for some months now, but traveling for most of 2025 got on the way. I have to say it was worth the wait! The staff were amazing, so nice, helpful and they even gave us some recommendations. Now the food... I mean, THE FOOD! Macizo is Mexican - Peruvian and the tiradito was probably the best I've had in a while. We also got the torta de carnitas on a fresh focaccia (they make the bread daily!!). I also had the Valentine's cocktail and it was delicious, but I've heard all the drinks are good. Everything in this place yells authentic, tables, decor and even the music in the background.

Been on my list for a minute but the announcement of a James Beard Award pushed me there. Ambience is easy, simple and accommodating. The service was personal, suggestive and friendly. Food A+....the guacamole paired with the House made Macha Salsa is sublime paired with house made warm bread(a first for me). The Macha Salsa, as explained by the owner(also our server) is Vera Cruz style. But the highlight of the 2 appetizers and possibly the meak were the tamales +Hizo. They were light and fluffy and delicious. We had the Burrito, Torta, Norton and per request the Enchilada Campachanos with 2 moles. All were outstanding and plates were cleaned! I won't go into much detail but I really don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. My friends and I will return many times, we have already planned it. I grabbed a jar of the Macha Salsa as we left. They are sold at the hostess stand! Congratulations to Maczio! Eat Local, Shop Local. Live Local! read more

So Macizo was recommended to us by a few friends plus social media hyped it up. We obviously took our kids, and I'm not sure if it's kid friendly...they didn't have a kids menu and the space was kind of small. For food, we ordered their housemade bread & guacamole which was good, but overly priced! We also had the mole enchiladas which were good but the chicken was overcooked. The kids had a cheese quesadilla with a side of rice, nothing fancy. Their housemade salsa was VERY good! If you like spicy, it's right up your alley! We got their pound cake with ice cream for dessert which was really good as well. read more

Macizo is amazing. We had great service and terrific food. Our waitress explained some of the choices for us on the menu. There were specials offered as well as the regular menu. Macizo has homemade bread that is delicious‼‼ Everyone was very welcoming. Another waitresses who brought out some items was also so full of smiles. Just a great vibe in this restaurant. We will return! It is convenient to west or North side of Indy. read more

So impressed and happy. The food delicious. It absolutely exceeds the expectations I have when walking into a new restaurant. Service was quick and helpful. They are still decorating, but the food alone will be enough to keep you guys successful and busy! The beef in the enfrijoladas was tender and juicy, even better when smothered in that smooth bean sauce. The sour cream was bright and a perfect complement to the dish. The salsa macha was delicious as well. They provide some at each table, and also sell it to take home. Spicy with a lasting kick, a little salty, everything you can ask for. Thank you so much for a great meal! read more

I was looking for a place to linger over a long lunch with a friend traveling from the airport to Zionsville and this northwest spot fit the bill perfectly. I was greeted warmly and our server was attentive and excited to explain the menu to us. The cuisine is mostly Mexican with some Peruvian and I honestly want to come back and try everything. We had the guacamole appetizer, which was $15 but a huge bowl of very flavorful guacamole with a basket of homemade focaccia. Yum! The lunch special was enfrijoladas, which were carnitas and tortillas covered in a bean sauce. We were told they were a little spicy by the sever but I found the flavor fairly mild. The decor and strip mall location here is unassuming but the service and food will bring me back anytime I'm looking to eat a solid meal in this corner of town. I can't wait to try the seafood and dessert offerings. read more

Macizo Restaurant - Enfrijoladas - Peruvian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We've been following the construction of Macizo Restaurant on the Northwest side of Indy at Intech Commons. Located in the strip center with free parking. Today we stopped for lunch and we weren't disappointed. The owners explained Macizo Restaurant offers a unique fusion of Mexican and Peruvian cuisine and known for their from - scratch dishes. The wife prepares most of the from - scratch dishes while hubby prepares the breads from scratch. The average prices range from $15 - $27 and loafs of focaccia or sourdough bread is $10. 8 oz. jars of delicious salsa is $12. My husband ordered the 5 Mexican meatballs in the delicious guajillo sauce and served with focaccia bread. He loved the meatballs and the sauce. He ordered a beer and I had a glass of wine. I chose the Pasta Huancaina in the huancaina sauce, lomo saltado sauce and sourdough bread. I enjoyed the pasta and sauces thoroughly. Service was excellent and both the owners were personable and very proud of their new business. I look forward to returning. read more

The hype is real! The 5 star rating is well deserved. The food is truly special and adds a new dimension to the Indianapolis culinary scene. The restaurant has been opened only seven months and is tucked in a small strip mall off of 71st Street on the Northwest side of Indy. The husband/wife team worked together to assemble a fusion menu of their favorite foods from her Peruvian and his Mexican background. He does the cooking, including making breads fresh daily. All the foods are freshly prepared. The owner and our server, Luz, was welcoming, engaging, explained menu and made recommendations. She explained that the mole sauce is homemade and a house specialty. We shared a special appetizer of meatballs and focaccia bread (the breads are made in house). The meatballs were unbelievably light and delicious and the tangy sauce was fabulous. The meatballs came with several pieces of the chef's fresh focaccia bread. We shared a plate of the chicken tamales. The tamales are artistically presented. Luz explained that the corn was hand ground in-house to make the dough! The tamales are light and fluffy, like no others that I've ever had locally. The marinated onions that accompanied the tamales are downright addictive. I also ordered a slice of the sourdough bread, which is made in-house. The bread was chewy and delicious. Luz and her husband visited our table and checked on us. Water glasses were kept full. The dining room is minimalist and pristine. There is a small bar area. They serve a happy hour special of house made sangria (two glasses for $15) from 3 - 6:00 pm. Luz invited me to sample the sangria, which was the best sangria that I've ever had. It was full bodied and fruity. I'll be back for happy hour. Macizo's is one of those rare places that makes you feel like family and serves uniquely delicious food. I can't wait to go back. read more

The restaurant is bright and spacious. Service was excellent. We both had the pasta dish as it sounded different and interesting. It totally delivered. It looked like Mac and cheese made with noodles but it was really so much more. The sauce under the pasta was delicious and really changed up flavor of the dish and really made it unique. The star though was the homemade sourdough bread that came with the dish to sop up the sauce. A truly artisan bread. We will definitely be returning to try some of the other items on the menu and to get some of that bread. They also make their own sangria although we did not try it. read more

Macizo (pronounced mah-SEE-so) in Spanish can mean "solid," "reliable." The owners told me it's also a play on "mas hizo" meaning something like made above and beyond. And this place lives up to that name in every way. Tucked away in Pike Township on Indy's northwest side (right off the 71st Street exit next to Gatsby's) Macizo has quickly become one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the entire city. I tried it for the first time a month ago with one of my best friends and immediately knew I'd be back. When I returned this Monday, I left already planning my next visit... and reminded myself to finally write this review. Let me tell you why Macizo earned "favorite restaurant" status. 1. The Food The Mole Chicken Enchiladas are hands-down the best I have ever had in a restaurant. Authentic, rich, beautifully layered in flavor, and truly reminiscent of the ones our Mama Estela makes from scratch in Mexico. That's not praise I give lightly. The mole is balanced and bold, the chicken is incredibly fresh, and the portion is perfect. The guacamole? Also the best I've had at any restaurant. Bright, creamy, spritz of lemon lime, and clearly made with care. I've also tried both desserts on the menu that call back to that authentic Peruvian flavor. The pear cream shortcake was a genuine treat. The menu as a whole is diverse, thoughtful, and you can tell the chef has real talent and pride in the craft. 2. The Service This is the standout reason I'm hooked. Luz and her husband own Macizo, and Luz is genuinely one of the warmest people you will ever meet. She greets guests like family and somehow makes everyone feel seen and welcomed. Her kindness sets the tone for the entire experience. They even bottle their own salsas. So many options, all delicious, and they take time to talk you through them if you're curious. 3. The Atmosphere You can feel how much love they've poured into the space itself. It's clean, open, beautifully decorated, and has a playlist that fits the vibe perfectly. The earthy tones and modern Latin American touches make it feel both cozy and elevated. I'm already telling everyone I know about this place...and now I'm telling you! Learn more and check out the menu at https://macizorestaurant.com/menu. Go. Feel the love. And maybe I'll see you there! read more

Macizo just got nominated for a James Beard award so we had to check it out! They also had an amazing deal during Devour Indy - 2 people for $60 and that including a drink, a shared appetizer and dessert, and 1 entree each. The menu is simple and not as expansive as other Mexican restaurants, but that speaks to the level of quality here. The vibes are simple and all the workers are so friendly. We started with sangrias and they were delicious! For appetizers we got the queso and it was loaded with corn and poblano peppers, and I loved that they served it with this amazing homemade bread instead of chips. For the entree I got the chicken enchiladas and that was also pretty good although the chicken could've been a little more flavorful. We added some homemade chili oil to it for an extra kick and that made it perfect! The dessert was by far my favorite - a pear pound cake which was served warm with some ice cream and topped with pistachios, so unique and delicious! read more

I normally stay downtown when I come to Indianapolis but ended up staying in Carmel this time. After asking the hotel what their favorite restaurant was, they told me I had to go to Macizo. After walking in I was immediately greeted by Valentin, he walked me though the menu, told me I had to try the focaccia and the tiradito. The focaccia was amazing and dipping it in the tiradito sauce and salsa macha took it to the next level. BUT, the Tiradito stole the show, it is the single best item of food I have ever had Indiana and I 100% will be coming back any time I am in town. In addition, Valentin was a phenomenal server, attentive and friendly but not overbearing. I felt welcome the moment I walked in, the staff was extremely friendly and it felt like they knew everyone having dinner even if it was your first time in. I could not recommend Macizo more, I had a fantastic experience on every level. read more

This is what I love about Yelp by providing great options. The reviews were very promising. I had no idea what to expect from a Peruvian Mexican Fusion restaurant. This was our first experience with Peruvian food and it was amazing! We didn't know what to order so we entrusted the waitress decide for us. She did not lead us astray. At the end, she asked what our favorite was and it was like asking which child is our favorite. They were all amazing! We were a party of three. The guys had beer while I enjoyed the homemade sangria. I let them taste it, but that's it. I refused to share anymore! We got three different dishes and shared them all. It was so amazing, that we had to try out the desserts. Everything is homemade and made with passion and love. The restaurant is own by a married couple. We were so fortunate to have the owner be our server. She truly made the meal become an amazing experience. We loved her stories and could feel her passion. Come to find out they had a promising write up in The Indy Star. Please consider supporting this local family owned restaurant. It was worth every penny! I love supporting local restaurants. We need more restaurants like this. Now, how do you pronounce "Macizo?" read more

It was a warm fall evening, the kind that makes you want to slow down, connect with friends, and try something new. That's exactly what I did when I stepped into Macizo for the first time. From the moment I walked in, I felt something different. I was welcomed with genuine warmth--the kind you don't usually get on a first visit. Within minutes, I had a refreshing drink in hand and a sampler of some of Macizo's favorite dishes on the table. As I settled in, I had the chance to talk with Luz, one of the owners. Whenever I dine out, I like to hear the story behind the restaurant--why it exists and what message the owners hope to share with their community. Luz's story did not disappoint. She and her husband, Omar, fell in love and dreamed of creating a place where their cultures could meet at the table. Their vision? A restaurant that blends their favorite dishes--Mexican and Peruvian--served with hospitality that feels like home. And let me tell you--it's not just a beautiful story. It's a phenomenal dining experience. Every dish I tried was fresh, flavorful, and presented with care. The kind of food that makes you pause after the first bite and just enjoy the moment. Luz also shared that many of their dishes are safe for people with gluten allergies. For me, that was a game-changer. It means I'll be back soon, this time with my wife. A restaurant that creates food she can safely enjoy--and that's this delicious--is one we absolutely have to experience together. When I left Macizo that night, I wasn't just satisfied with a great meal. I was grateful--for the story of two people who turned love into a dream, and that dream into a restaurant where heritage and hospitality come together to create something unforgettable. If you're looking for a pleasant surprise, this is it. Imagine the best of Mexican and Peruvian cuisine brought together in one place--where every corner reflects the heart of its owners, and every bite tells a story. If you visit Macizo, and. I hope you will, you must check out their in-house, freshly made bread. You will definitely want to take some home with you! read more

This is one of the best choices in Indy now. We had the Sopa Criolla, a perfect hot soup for a cold winter day (or any day for that matter!), with small bits of beef, potatoes, and angel hair pasta. The soup is creamy (not spicy but you can ask for a chili based oil if you want to add heat) and infused deliciously with Peruvian aji panca chilis. Topped with a fried egg, the luscious runny yolk elevates the dish even more. Served with a generous slice of house-made toasted sourdough bread. The Burrito de Lomo Saltado is also a nice choice and has an interesting blend of Latin and Chinese flavors and is accompanied by a bowl of their bean salad. Luz, our server and one of the owners, is delightful and welcoming. She will happily explain the menu if needed. The restaurant itself has a warm and casual feel. Plenty of parking in front. This was a superb experience and I look forward to returning..... although it will be a challenge to not order the Sopa Criolla again! read more
