    In town for a soccer tournament and wanted some authentic Mexican. Taco Express did not disappoint. Quality food & authentic atmosphere. Bonus had the Premier League game on.

    Super fast, delicious, great service. I came in for a take out order, was greeted quickly. Ordered 4 Express Tacos and they were ready in less than 10 mins. The cashier was nice and courteous, and made sure I knew all my options as well as offering me salsa and napkins.

    Special Nachos

    Taco Express is located in a building strip on Pendleton Pike. I ordered the nachos with the chips on the side so they wouldn't be soggy by the time I got home. They charged a 1.00 to separate the meat from the chips. They were doing Karaoke tonight which gave this a more lively environment. Many patrons entering were not wearing masks or asked to although the sign is posted. Now for the food: The Special Nacho had shrimp, chicken and steak. This was well full of flavor and very filling. They forgot to add my Tamale so I'll have to find out later what I missed. Overall, this is a good place for Mexican food.

    Steak enchiladas

    Don't let the generic name fool you, they have authentic Mexican food. I had the steak enchiladas lunch special, and it was delicious! My coworker had the Torta Cubana, which came stacked with all kinds of meats. It's a little run down inside, but the food did not disappoint! They share an entry door and parking lot with Dickey's BBQ on Pendleton Pike in Lawrence.

    Birria juice

    I bought 3 birria tacos today (7/4/24) absolutely DISGUSTING! Idk who they had in the kitchen today but they need to be fired! The meat was dry and hardly seasoned. The birria "broth" was flavorless. I eat here often and this is my 1st time having a complaint. I hope the business sees this and fire whoever they let cook today bc the food was not hitting! I'm so mad

    Great customer service. Also the place was clean and neat. The place is a little small but they do have huge TVs. Don't let the name fool you they have more than just tacos it's literally a Mexican restaurant I would recommend changing the name. To begin with this is a family owned place at least that's what I saw on the Yelp reviews and it does look like it. I've been here twice already and honestly it's second place that has authentic Mexican food here in Indianapolis. In addition I ordered 3 steak tacos on corn tortilla I didn't expect for them to have double tortilla which is a big plus for me. And also they put a lot of meat on the tacos as will. Another plus. Moreover they have a red hot sauce which is so spicy but tasty I recommend getting that sauce. Furthermore I totally recommend coming and trying this place out for sure.

    Tostadas , rice, and beans. Lunch combo.

    Absolutely love this place. It's a small, hole-in-the-wal mom & pop restaurant that serves delicious Mexican food. Their tacos are the best!

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. All our service was very professional and fast. Bonus perk there is a free parking garage attached.... Makes going out to eat downtown way less stressful!

Overall a chill environment and ith a nice front patio/ sidewalk seating area. We enjoyed the chips n salsa varieties, surprisingly the darker salsa wasn't spicier just a different flavor. Orde re d the chicken burrito which was gigantic easily enough for 2 to share. Very well made fresh ingredients, covered in sauces and cheesy. And we all tried different margaritas, mine was a strawberry fruity take on a margarita, good and garnished nicely. Rated fresh and flavorful, not very strong and a bit pricey. Especially with some being $100+ for a drink was wild. Overall nice place, nice environment, wasn't busy and tasted good but is priced higher than most Mexican restaurants in the city.

    So glad I found this place. What a fun vibe and delicious food! Our server was nice and somehow…read moreremembered everything in her head, which was very impressive. I don't think you can really go wrong with the tacos, and the flights are a great deal that let you try things in a smaller portion (4 inch in the flight instead of 6 inch for a single taco) for a lower price point. I think my favorite was the Jackpot (jackfruit carnitas with BBQ sauce). Appreciated that they had veggie options! If you're gluten free, one thing to be aware of are the taco shells - for the epic tacos, the standard is a crispy corn shell inside of a soft flour shell. I got the Crabby Patty which had a "guacamole cushion," which I learned meant there was guac between the two shells. If no cushion is mentioned, it's just the two shells. IF you or a friend ask for gluten free, it's TWO layers of crispy corn shells. Lot of crisp. Corn fritters were also tasty. Everyone I came with was happy with their meals. :)

    Great dinner here on a Monday night, especially given that it was day 1 of their new menu!…read more We hit happy hour for margaritas and the passion fruit margarita with a tajin rim really hit the spot. For my meal I ordered 3 tacos- the standout was absolutely the new brussel sprout taco. I have been thinking about that taco for a full week. The other 2 tacos (carnitas and a beef) were both good, but the sprout taco was so fresh and flavorful. I would definitely return!

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.

    Still the best taco I've had!…read more This time I dined in instead of doing takeout. It is teeny tiny inside, just a few tables. But the decor was so pretty and vibrant. I'm pretty sure the owner was the one who waited on us. He was friendly and so patient while we decided what to order. I had the chicken chipotle tacos since I remembered them being so good last time but I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
