El Borrego is actually a grocery store with a restaurant inside. We had a hard time finding it…read morebecause Yelp directions take you a block out of your way. There is actually easy street parking in front of the building. El Borrego is a favorite of the locals in Kokomo. The tables and chairs are carved colorful tropical scenes. The dining room is not fancy, but functional. A generous portion of complementary chips and a fresh salsa come out quickly. Our server was friendly and attentive. They serve traditional Mexican favorites and I was in the mood for a couple tacos. You can buy a platter of 20 mixed tacos for $69 or order them individually. I selected the soft shell Tacos Supreme, one chicken and one shrimp. The tacos were very good with lots of cheese, meats and lettuce. I also picked up some tortillas in their grocery store. They carry an impressive variety of spices and dried peppers. I return and recommend.

I will always…read morelook over the menu thinking I might try something different but I just cannot get away from the Wet Burrito - Chicken. The green enchilada sauce is amazing! I might ever eat liver if it was covered in that green sauce...well, maybe not! I think between my husband and son they have ordered at least half of the menu and have not found one thing that they did not rave about. The small establishment is inviting and the service is wonderful! You absolutely can't go wrong with Mexican Grill. The family will make you anything you want and anyway you want it. Support the small business owners!

Updating my review from nine years ago (nine!) to say that Tortas Johann is still one of my…read morefavorite restaurants. They feature some unique items on their menu, and everything I have ever tried has been delicious. My favorite is the veggie quesadilla, it is very different than the average quesadilla that is served at other Mexican restaurants. I always order the platter that comes with rice and beans, because both are excellent. The red sauce has heat but is very flavorful. I always order extra red sauce to take home. If you don't care for hot sauces but enjoy flavor you can mix a little sour cream into the red sauce to make it milder. Service is always friendly and helpful. Tortas Johann is the best reason to visit Kokomo!

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant we have ever been to. Service and food were both amazing!read more

Today changed that. This hidden gem is a jackpot! The staff is warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is minimal but inviting. The menu is not your typical quesadillas and burritos although they do have them too. We opted for the guacamole, molcateje, tacos al pastor and gringas. The quack was chunky and delicious! The molcateje was hot and bountiful. Steak, shrimp, chicken and chorizo piled high. My tacos al pastor were tender and flavorful. Beer was ice cold and at $5 a pop, you couldn't go wrong. I think this restaurant is better than some of the much pricier options in Fishers and Indy. My only regret is that we don't live closer. It's a must visit when in Kokomo.

I will be back!

Exceptionally slow service, meals prepared incorrectly, no silverware until asking (someone other than our server), and the list could continue. All of those things can be overcome by fantastic food.

I originally was going to get the taco combo plate, which comes with three tacos, Mexican rice, and beans, but the meat choices were chicken or beef, so instead I did three a la carte tacos with chicken, carnitas, and steak. The steak one was my favorite of the three. They were topped with raw onions and cilantro, and served with some grilled onions that were on the side. The tortillas themselves were traditional corn tortillas. My boyfriend got a burrito with steak and chicken, which was topped with shrimp and served with queso, and he said it was very good too. We also all split a pitcher of frozen margaritas which were good, and you can choose flavors too although we just did traditional lime. We did have to ask for glasses of water a few times, which is not a big deal. Overall the food and drinks here were tasty, though.

My husband got it a chicken quesadilla. He says it's very good. It's chock full of onions so I haven't tried it LOL We sat in the bar the music wasn't too loud and they were TVs if you're interested in that.

I never rate places but I had to with this. This is some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had…read more My friends quesadilla looked like it had store bought shredded cheese sprinkled on an uncooked microwaved tortilla. My rice and chicken was tasteless. The only thing that had flavor was the green onion. The rice was undercooked and dry. Even the salsa tastes worse than store bought salsa. It was basically just watered down tomatoes. Would never eat here again. I had 3 bites, left hungry, and threw out my leftovers. Even had my husband try it before throwing it out and he spit it out. Also: I just saw the passive aggressive reply. It's not about your concept. I'm aware it's Americanized. That's pretty obvious. The point it's the food was nearly inedible. And clearly the service isn't all that great either. I understand how food works! Maybe you guys need to understand it too. Judging by your other reviews. Seems like other people feel the same way..
