Solid Mexican spot on the south side. We came in on a rainy weeknight and the place wasn't busy. Our food was above average for a Mexican restaurant. The salsa was tasty. I had a burrito that was full and plentiful and everything tasted fresh. The rice was average. My reasoning for minus one star was the service. Our server was great. We were sat under a light that was blinking our entire meal, and sat next to another table (the one of two other tables in the entire place) that was playing loud music. Definitely partly on us for not asking to be moved, but also shouldn't have to make special requests like that. Overall will return as the food was good, and I will be bolder next time in asking for a better place to sit. read more

Mexico City Grill - Burrito Campechano - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We are happy they have finally opened in their new location. Near where Thompson passes over 65. They did a great job of renovating. Colorful but not overwhelming. They serve breakfast into the lunch hour. Both Mexican and American. I had a simple dish, breakfast tacos. Eggs, beans and pick in flour shells, I forgot to ask for corn which I would have liked better. When they get good flavor in such a simple dish you know they put thought and care in their planning. The beans were made there, nice consistency. The Chorizo omlete with mole sauce was also very good, best sauce. Will return for that on enchiladas, to try the carnitas, and... read more

Service was nice. Most of the food was really flavorful. Not as much of a fan of the queso; seemed kind of flavor less. Salsa was very good! Rice and beans were so good as well! read more

Mexico City Grill - I love the cantarito! - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We met my niece and part of her family there for lunch. We were welcomed graciously and seated promptly. They have a menu separate with American chicken recipes. The Mexican food was delicous but it has been Americanized. It was sort of bland. The food was great but a little too bland. read more

Not the best service today. The man who answered the phone lay the phone down and forgot me! Someone else finally picked up and took my order. There were so many people around her talking loudly that she could not hear me. They were not busy at all, so not sure why such bad service! Got the order home and there was no salsa included. I specifically asked for the salsa and was told it was in the bag. Wow! Off day for the Mexico City Grill staff!! read more

The food was great. I had the pollo jaslico with flour tortillas. Great flavor. Service was great. Drinks never ran out. Server was very good. read more

Friendly staff who remember details about our family and friends with each visit. I love the Texas Gold Margaritas!!! Everything I have ordered here is great!!!! read more

Nope, never again. I have had a really bad run with bad food and worse service lately and maybe I've been a bit harsh with some of my reviews. But if ever a place deserves one star, it's now. Once we were seated, we sat a good 10 minutes being ignored. I finally flagged down a server and asked if she could send someone our way. She seemed irritated and took our order. I have no idea if she was actually assigned to our table or not, but she treated us like we were a huge burden. Strangely, I saw her interactions with other tables and she was much more friendly. The salsa was fine, the queso was passable. She never did bring the side plate I asked for, so my kiddo ended up eating off the cheese dip saucer. When ordering my enchiladas, I was careful to clearly say I did NOT want lettuce on them. It took a really long time for the food to come out and when it did, there were my enchiladas covered in lettuce. There was so much, I had to send it back. Less than three minutes later, my new plate of enchiladas came out and they were covered in so much sauce, I scraped off enough to fill an entire other plate, and they were still swimming in it. It was so overwhelming, you couldn't taste anything but sauce. It was clear that they just slopped my plate together. Our server didn't come back to check on us, either. Finally, everyone was done and we were ready to go. My kiddo was being a disruptive brat, I admit. But instead of getting our check, our server just gave her the stink eye. Dude, we can't leave until we pay, so bring the check and we will get the hell out of there. Final frustration -- my husband had a free dessert from Spot On. He told the man bussing our table and the man said he would bring it out. He asked how our food was and I told him mine was gross and showed him the plate of sauce. He didn't say anything, but when the bill came, he told us he didn't charge us for it. Then the dessert never came. We waited and waited, but I assume they figured that since we already got something "free" (bad food), they weren't giving us dessert. read more

Mexico City Grill - Insane over-abundance of sauce (the pic on the left is a FULL plate of extra sauce). - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My first visit to Mexico City Grill was a good one! I wanted something light so I enjoyed a salad. I'm blanking on the name, but it hit the spot! The chips and salsa were good and a nice compliment to my salad. Our server was friendly, and as this was during the Covid pandemic, she was wearing a mask. The restaurant was doing a great job of spacing tables away from each other. My friend and I were the only ones in our section while we ate. I'd come back to Mexico City Grill to try something else in the future! read more

I had a lunch date today with my husband. We enjoyed ourselves. Food and service was great. My husband said his Margarita was amazing. My only complaint is the salsa was pretty watery and I didn't get much meat with my Fajitas and the chicken I did get were very small pieces. Customer service was good. I would go again. read more

I've been going to this place for 19 years and I think I'm done. The portions keep shrinking and the prices are out of control. I went to dinner with my teenage daughter and including the tip, spent $65. No alcohol. Just dinner and sodas. That is ridiculous. I'd give this a 1 star but I love the owner and the food is good, but I shouldn't leave there hungry after spending that kind of money on two people. read more

Decent Mexican restaurant. Food is authentic, but nothing amazing. They have plenty of vegetarian options which I appreciated. Service and staff are very good. read more

I really enjoyed my first visit here. The staff is very friendly and fun. The salsa was delicious and the chips warm and crisp. I had the steak taco salad and my boyfriend the beef taco salad. We both really enjoyed our meals and even ate the salad bowl shell. They had a much more varied menu than a typical Mexican restaurant and I look forward to trying more things. read more

We arrived and received it quickly. Our food arrived promptly. The food was delicious . Our service was wonderful she returned to refill our drinks at least twice . The price was very reasonable and the restaurant was very clean . It was nice to see that they had been around for 23 years in the same location . read more

Always yummy. We go here for lunch. I finally stepped out and tried something other than the chimichanga...however it is my favorite. Super tender chicken...cheese sauce. Chips and salsa are always good. One of my favorite places to grab Mexican at lunch. read more

I like this place because they offer good lunch specials and are generous with the pico and guacamole. I'm a little sad to say the beans are kinda runny and the rice is a smaller portion than what I was expecting. However, my taquitos were cooked perfectly and were great. I left with a full belly of good Mexican food. read more

Crappy service and food .. my birthday was ruined by this place. I was a regular going twice a week but I will never give them my money again read more

Mexico City Grill is alright - I had lunch with some co-workers and a client here so I didn't get to consume any of their reportedly tasty margaritas. The interior is cute but the wooden chairs are seriously uncomfortable! I struggled a little with the menu, hoping to find something on the "lighter" side - no dice. Everything seems to be fried or covered with gloppy cheese. I would have been happy with a taco plate or something, which surprisingly is not an option. I ended up with arroz con pollo - the chicken was actually really good. I also tried the famous queso that almost everyone else has mentioned. It is REALLY good - I could see coming back for some tasty margaritas and a bunch of that cheese dip for sure. Service was good too - things were delivered fast and the people that work here seemed genuinely nice. read more

Since moving to the south side, we've been trying every nearby Mexican joint for the best food and best value. And there are A LOT of nearby options. Located in the same strip mall as Sushi Club, this place is a hidden gem for us. Consistently delicious, clean, friendly - it has worked its way into our dinner rotation. The chips and salsa are great, the steak tacos are great, delicious Arroz con Pollo, etc. read more

Nice family-friendly restaurant. Convenient and plentiful parking out front. The usual Americanized Mexican restaurant options are here as well as a kids menu that includes quesadillas and pizza. read more

I've frequented this location many times over the last few years. It has gone from mediocre to very nice! They recently renovated the restaurant and the general attitude is above average compared to other Mexican food places locally. The waiters are almost always quick to refill drinks and salsa. The prices are fair and food is consistently good. When you can just do a good job almost every time we eat here, your doing it right in my book! read more

I had heard so many good things about this place. While it was ok, it wasn't what I expected. The salsa and white queso were very good. I got an enchilada and chicken taco. The meat was dry and bland. Kick it up a notch! The toppings were good, beans rice red sauce lettuce. All seemed fresh and good. Price was good at about 25 bucks with a beer and queso app. Overall it was just ok we will continue to sample the surroundings and see what we like. read more

Able to seat our large party of 16 during lunch very quickly and easy. Food was fairly average but no major complaints. Took long long time for us to receive our checks was frustrating as they tried to put us all on one check even when we stated we wanted separate when we were seated. read more

This is a locally owned restaurant, not a chain, with an owner who has a story including his son is serving our country. This place could be great...but it's not. The service is friendly but extremely slow - not a great thing when you have hungry kids with you. The food is decent but today's visit included one of my relatives ordering the taco salad which was a disaster. It didn't look appetizing at all and she didn't like it much. We have given this place three tries but I think this will be our last. read more

I reserved a table for 8 to celebrate a friend's birthday. Upon arrival there was no knowledge of a reservation. It was 7pm on a weekday so we were accommodated. The promised balloons were not provided. The service was extremely slow. The drinks were horrible! We were charged $13 for a Titos Vodka on the rocks. You would think we were in a high rent neighborhood. (not). We were charged for 2 fahitas when we only ordered and received 1. We had 1 child who ordered a pizza. It came out uncooked and doughy. All of our food was bland. Every one of us stated we would not return. read more

Best huevos rancheros ever. Chorizo tacos also great. Try the cucumber mint lime water they make in house. Amazing. Not far Speedway.

For a run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant, this one is actually not too bad. The service is fast and friendly and the food comes out hot. Not amazing, but it doesn't pretend to be, either. read more

Breakfast! BREAKFAST til 2pm!!! Go for breakfast on the weekend. So good. Great service and clean which you don't always get these days. We are slowly working our way through the breakfast menu and haven't been disappointed yet. Good coffee too. It's nice to have more breakfast option. I wish they had some vegan options on the menu though!! read more

I don't know what has changed but the food definitely got better! This is, in my opinion of the many Mexican restaurants I've had in this area, the best in the area. read more

Fajitas for two. I've been here before and had some ok to decent food, but once I tried the Mexico City Fajitas I never wanted anything else. Chicken, beef, shrimp, peppers, and onions, served with tortillas and fajita fixins. You can order them for one or for two, and although fajitas for one could easily feed you and your date the $20 price tag for a mound of food can't be beat. The Cancun margarita, a twist on the classic with pineapple juice, is also a standout. read more

Our waitress was amazing. One step ahead of the game for sure. The queso - to die for. I mean.... really. I will absolutely be back. My mouth is watering just typing this review out - that's just how good it was. read more

Used to be a great spot. Tonight it took 30 min from sitting down to take our order, then another half hour to get our food, 2 of our orders were incorrect, and our bills were not right. No apology for the time or messing up our orders/bills. So sad bc we used to love this place. read more

This place is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is festive and fun, the prices very reasonable, and the portion sizes huge. My husband ordered the Mexican Pizza and I had a chicken Chimichanga. I would highly recommend both dishes. The chicken in the chimichange was tender and flavorful. The chips and salsa were good as well, though the salsa was a little runny. The service was fast and pleasant too. In the waitress who served us had just started that day, but you would never know it. I will definitely visit Mexico City Grill again, and I highly recommend you give it a try. It will exceed your expectations! read more
