    After reading all the great reviews I really wanted to like this place but I was just kind of let down. I started with a side salad and Horchata - the horchata was a little bland and I would've liked a stronger cinnamon flavor. The salad was actually pretty good and priced well for the portion. I also ordered the ceviche that had kiwi - it was sweet and spicy. I found it odd that it was in a syrupy sauce. I'm used to ceviche being in straight lime juice. I thought it was a touch too spicy but I know everyone has their preferences. The space was cute and the noise level wasn't too loud but overall I don't think I'd want to come back.

    Solid aztecan style Mexican place just outside Indianapolis! Everything we ate was solid including the flora di Pina which is served inside half a pineapple. Our server was excellent providing great recommendations and checking on us often. Will definitely eat here again when I'm back next year for FDIC.

    What a cute and upscale restaurant in Plainfield! Service was great too - very hospitable. There's a lot of space and seating inside and there is a small patio for outdoor seating. The food was good as well - I got the arroz con pollo and it was full of flavor and the right amount of cheese, I would have added just a little bit of spice to it though. I do wish I would have added a side of fajita veggies - that would have give it a kick. I also like how we got our own bowl of salsa with the chips! My friends ordered the birria tacos and the Plainfield burrito, they both liked their meals as well. I like the fact that they have a tequila locker where you can purchase your own bottle and place it in the locker for each time you visit. They also have two spaces to host private dinners - I can't remember what the capacity was though. Overall, a great experience, I can't wait to visit again!

    Had a delicious dinner following a show nearby. It's a very convenient location when visiting the Hendrix Live venue. A parking garage allows convenient parking for both. I love the upscale decor with a Mexican flare. Our waitress was spot on with quick service and good recommendations. We both ordered the Flor de Pina and enjoyed the meat in the pineapple bowl. I wished it had more pineapple chunks in it but that wouldn't stop me from ordering again. We had the Premium Rita and it was delicious. I'm looking forward to my next visit

    Several co-workers recommended this spot as an upscale, Mexican restaurant they thought I would love, so my husband and I stopped in a for a date night. We were not disappointed! We came on a weeknight when it wasn't super busy. Their cocktails have fresh fruit in them and are full of flavor + have gorgeous, vibrant hues. We split the queso fundido as an app with our first round of drinks and loved every bite. I ordered the flor de pina and it was loaded with tons of shrimp, steak, and chicken. All of the flavors were amazing and everything was perfectly cooked. Not one over-done piece of protein or any dry bites to be found. My husband ordered the quesa birria tacos and loved his meal, too. The meat was so tender and flavorful. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and made sure we always had drink + chip refills. The interior is nicely decorated and has a lot of pretty, ambient lighting. The only thing I didn't love was that the outdoor planters on the patio had a bunch of obviously fake plants in them instead of real plants. Such a cute restaurant with amazing food- we both were already talking about what we wanted to try when we came back.

    Nice atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, and top-notch quesa birria tacos. What more could you ask for? (The queso fundido and shrimp tacos were great, too!)

    The decor inside is different and fun which brings with it an upscale atmosphere. We have driven by many times and finally decided to give it a try. I had higher expectations for the food given the high prices but sadly I was not impressed and left feeling like I "wasted" my night out on a meal that was sub-par. We ordered the "Dip de Queso Jalapeno" which says it's a jalapeno cheese dip that brings bolds flavors. The queso was a basic tasting queso; there were no bold or jalapeno flavors and the bottom of the bowl had chunks of cheese that hadn't melted. The chips and house salsa was never refilled. Tuesday is $5 off of a margarita but it only applies to the house margarita (not their muddled options). It was a basic margarita, nothing outstanding but a simple staple. My friend ordered the entree "Alambre" solely based on the description that it was "generously smothered in melted cheese." When it arrived, there was a small area with cheese. It was neither generous OR smothered. I decided to try tacos as those should be a stand out staple at any mexican/latin restaurant. The Thalupas Lokas were basic ground beef tacos that quite honestly, Taco Bell does better on their dollar menu. It did say that "the flour tortilla embraces a hard corn shell" and when I have ordered tacos like that at other locations, there is usually cheese or a seasoning between the two, to elevate the taste and hold them together. This was not the case as the hard shell was just sitting on the soft shells (which were also overheated and crunchy). There was no salsa included which left the dish bland as the meat was not well seasoned. I did substitute the refried beans with a second portion of rice. The rice was well cooked and seasoned; seemingly the only thing well seasoned. There are other restaurants in Hendricks county that have phenomenal food for the price and sadly, that is not the case for Tlahcos.

    The few times I've been to Tlahcos, the service has always been excellent. There's plenty of seating, and the menu has some unique options. Don't knock it til you try it! The Maracuya Mojito is also excellent and definitely worth ordering.

    Ranchero something....steak, chorizo, bacon, cheese

    Plainfield is really upping its game ! Wow, this place is awesome. Contemporary ambiance with some hip tunes greet you upon walking in. The food is highly elevated Mexican fare with amazing presentation and even more taste. I ordered some kind of plate consisting of steak, chorizeo, bacon, onion and cheese. Lots of flavor there and boosted by the spicy house salsa. I really loved the beans on the side. Soooo good. I could eat a whole plate of just those. I've probably made beans from scratch 100 times...I cant get them to taste this good. I'd love to be an intern for a day and have them teach me =) Service was prompt and friendly. High marks across the board. I'll be back.

    I so wanted to like this place. Let's start with the positives. It is very hip and clean. I placed a carry-out order. When I went in to get the order, I had my order in hand within five minutes, so the service was good. Now the negative. I ordered the Quesa Birria tacos, unfortunately I did not taste any seasoning at all. Three small tacos for $18 is too much. Had they been flavorful and piping hot they would have been worth it, but they were neither. Bland, dry and unflavored.

    The service was phenomenal! We were greeted so warmly by the host and our party of 6 was immediately sat. Our waiter was attentive, taking the time to explain the menu and suggest popular dishes. It was a on the pricier side, entrees averaged about $35. This was for a birthday dinner so I didn't mind spending the extra money. The experience felt like a 5 start restaurant with warm lighting and music playing. We had such a good time! As for parking, there is some street parking, a free lot across the street (you have to go around the block to enter) or a paid garage right next to the restaurant.

    My wife and I decided to stop in here for my birthday and was not disappointed at all! To start when you walk into this place the ambiance is amazing! Modern, cute drapery, awesome seats. Overall great feel. Then we got the standard chips and got a salsa trio with the queso fondito. All of which was very authentic, high scale and tasted amazing! We ordered two of their top rated and suggested entrees the carne asada and the pineapple dish and we LOVED the pineapple dish. It tasted so fresh and full of flavor. Everything here was incredible including the service. We had Alex and he did such a good job. Will 100% be back here and would highly suggest it. Only caution is it is a tad on the pricy side but worth every dollar!

    Second trip to Tlahcos and we were looking forward to it. First trip we had tacos. They were fine. This time we both ordered the Alambre which consists of sautéed chicken, peppers, onion and bacon. It comes with beans and rice. Found out later it was to have apparently a small serving of spicey Xalapa salsa but the cup was empty. The chicken, peppers, onion and bacon are served mixed coated with a fairly tasteless melted cheese. The chicken, there was a lot of it, a mix of light and dark, was a bit chewy and tasted marinated. The bacon was not crispy but limp and under cooked, also in small pieces. The ingredients had sort of congealed in a watery mass. There was very little seasoning on any of the food including the beans and rice. The complimentary chips were a bit stale and the accompanying salsa bland. The service was pretty good. This was at lunch and not too busy but only saw one server and he did a decent job. Really like the location and ambience here but the regular chef must have been off today. Just be aware of the Alambre before ordering.

His plate was huge and colorful with pico, rice, beans and a cheesy covered chimichanga. The food is a step above your average Mexican restaurant. They offer daily drink specials (beer and margarita). I was tempted, but it was just too early in the day. They also have a kid's menu. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot and the restaurant is fully accessible. I recommend and will return.
