Peach margarita
Mark E.

Used to frequent this restaurant on a regular basis. Plenty of seating in the bar and great place to enjoy a margarita. Raymundo was our server/bartender. He was outstanding. Couple next to us said he was their favorite. I was craving their fish tacos. What I got and what I remembered from the past did not meet expectations. I remembered blackened tilapia served on the plate with the wraps left in foil. It also came with a hot sauce, which was missing. The fish is now put on the wraps and lightly seasoned if at all. The presentation was unappealing and the food unfortunately was bland. I will go back as this was my first not great experience. The margarita was great as was the service.

Raspberry 16oz Margarita

My husband and I visited Riviera Maya for the second time tonight. On Wednesdays, they offer a special on flavored margaritas--$5.99 for one! You really can't beat that. I ordered the Quesadilla Matzanlan, which was a huge portion and absolutely delicious! You can choose between chicken or steak for the quesadilla. My husband had the taco salad, which was also a special tonight. The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because of the service. While we were attended to, we were left sitting with empty plates and drinks for quite a while, even though there weren't many other patrons. Our server giggled a bit too much and the way he smiled at us was a bit creepy, to each their own I guess. He then proceeded to laugh at my husband for not drinking tonight. Though my husband wasn't bothered, I feel that could have come off as rude or insensitive. It's important to be mindful of these things in the world we live in. The margarita deal was too good to beat, we'll definitely consider in the future!

Fajitas

This place is huge! If you're ever needing to get in somewhere, you will most likely be able to sit down right away. The only downside is that the service was kind of slow. I'm wondering if it is because of its size. Food came out quickly though and was great. Chips and salsa good as always. I had the fajitas and they were perfectly seasoned!

At the request of a Facebook post, I'm leaving this review. The food and service are excellent. That said, there's an in-house videographer and I'm supposed to leave an "appropriate review". Here goes. Rules for recording me: 1. No nose pick pics. 2. No recording me after 3 or more drinks. 3. No recording me while I make toilet (I'm a sucker for Borat). 4. I'd like a larger selection of candy at the counter. Nothing brings out the taste of Mexican food like a kit-kat chaser. Keep up the good work.

We tried calling a few times for a reservations for a party of 9 at 7:30 on a Saturday night but apparently they don't make reservations and they told us to just call ahead when we're on our way We tried calling ahead but they then changed about that option too because they didn't accept our call ahead either, I guessed it worked out just fine because when we got there last night they were able to seat us as soon as they were able to put the tables together so there's not much wait They don't have alcohol menus, they just have a little menu on the table in one of those table number holder, a few of us got alcoholic beverages, 2 people got beers, 1 individual frozen margarita and 1 pitcher split by 3 people The food we got were burritos, chimichangas, arroz con carne, arroz con chorizo and pollo loco, and a couple of desserts We all think the food was good but nothing to raved about I'd say the inside of the restaurant is just like other good Mexican restaurants, this place is spacious with a kinda circular bar area in the middle

Fajita extras
Tom B.

The ambiance was great; this restaurant has a party atmosphere, which sometimes gets a little loud and obnoxious, but for some reason, I liked it here. Service was good, but the star of this show was the food. This may have been the best fajita platter I've had in a long time. The location is a bit out of the way for us, so I'm not sure how soon we'll return, but this really was a great meal in every respect.

Are they serving alcohol yet? What good is a Mexican joint if you can't get a margarita too?

Yes, they are. They got their liquor license back a couple weeks ago

I got the Langostino Quesadilla that I loved! It was a really big quesadilla too. We ordered agua frescas tonight, but their bar menu is huge and I definitely want to be back for margaritas on their patio. This is prime location for patio season.

We were seated in their outdoor area where the heaters were not turned on and the day had been rainy and cold so most of the table was cold throughout our meal. The service was a bit slow but it being cinco de mayo, we understood that things may move a little slower than any other day. They had some specials for the day but I got my old faithful, Maria's Enchiladas with steak. It comes with rice and beans and it's just so so soooo good!!! I also got the Arroyo Margarita which was good but def could tell they were adding a bit more sour mix to the drink. Overall, it was a good experience but I will try to come back again on a day that is not as busy.

Even with the rush, I was able to snag a seat quite quickly. I was so impressed by how efficiently the staff cleared and prepared my table; it's those little touches of attentiveness that really make a difference. I decided to keep things classic and ordered the Asada Tacos. The service was remarkably swift my order arrived in under ten minutes, which is exactly the kind of efficiency I adore. While the initial presentation was a bit more understated than I anticipated, the flavor was a total 8/10 triumph! The staff was also incredibly accommodating when it came to my preferences; they brought over a lovely selection of chips and sauces, but were perfectly gracious when I mentioned I prefer to avoid the heat. These are truly some of the best tacos I've had the pleasure of trying lately. I will most certainly be a regular here!

I don't know how else to explain it. The queso is delicious. They have a salsa bar, and I'm not joking when I say there are a lot of delicious homemade salsas on the salsa bar. You have to buy a basket of chips, but it's very inexpensive and so worth it for the salsa bar! Lastly, the Al pastor is the bomb. The inside is really nice, the owners are so gracious and remember us when we come back each time. Don't sleep on this place--it's perfect for a weekday dinner or a weekend date night!

The restaurant is sleek and has a cool vibe, but we immediately realized it was not going to be what we thought of when we saw "street tacos" mentioned during Google search. It's more of a metropolitan American Soul fusion place, with a heavy emphasis on loaded, uniquely flavored tacos instead of traditional Mexicana. The server was wonderful in explaining their menu and gave multiple recommendations, which I went with all of her great suggestions once I told her what I was craving. My husband didn't enjoy his appetizer, saying it tasted too sweet instead of savory for him, but the server was great at being aware of our plates and took the appetizer off our bill when she noticed he wasn't eating it without us even mentioning it. I got three different tacos, and the only one I didn't enjoy was due to the Mac n cheese that was stuffed in it. It just didn't taste or feel right having a taco with macaroni that was pushed in so densely that it became a sponge. The other two were great! My husband gave his burrito a 3/5, as he felt it was too much one note. Overall, don't come here if you're looking for upscale Mexicana, but instead want to enjoy interesting fusion flavors and fun cocktails. Great place for a group outing or celebration!

Driving through…read morehere, you see the blight and the abandonment of this area of Indianapolis since the decline of manufacturing. Then again, it's not an uncommon story unfortunately- large parts of the city forgotten in terms of economic development but then suddenly needed during times of campaigning. Had taken Keystone and then Rural Street to get here, and the potholes are not kind. But, we had this place on our list and were determined to make it here at least once. Tlaolli stood out for its vegan offerings. Plenty of vegan taco options, birria (an absolute rarity to see vegan birria), and torta. They offer soy chorizo, jackfruit, and king oyster mushrooms as protein options. The exterior is colorful, and inside there are seating options. We had gotten our food to go, so I cannot comment too much on the service. Had placed our order online, and the food was ready within the estimated time in the order. We ordered the vegan birria tacos ($17.99), the vegan torta ($10.99 base but added soy chorizo, which was $3.99), and the no-no-no taco ($5.99). Our total with fees was approximately $45. Tlaolli offers outdoor seating, so when the weather is nicer this would be a good place to come. Next to the East Washington IPL branch, Tlaolli has a colorful green exterior with neon signage. Food: The food was very good. The proteins were nicely seasoned and juicy. The highlight for me was the birria tacos and the consome. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 10/10. This is a great local business in the area to support: offers a diverse menu of options with food that is comforting and tasty.
