Chris' Ice Cream and Mexican Food — Restaurant in Indianapolis

This place is great. I'm picky when it comes to Mexican and was not sure about going here. I had heard about the great ice cream, but wasn't convinced if I'd like the food. Then one of those Indiana storms came through and ruined my planned cookout. So... of to give it a whirl. It was a great experience, great food and a fun time.

I had the Burrito. My wife had the Enchiladas. My kids saw chicken fingers and passed up on the Mexican and went for them. We all very much enjoyed the food. Because of that storm I mentioned, the place was not busy when we first showed up. I had the great opportunity to talk to the owner and hear his story of how the restaurant came to be. We were able to talk to many of the people working there - what a great group of people who really want to make the customer happy.

After dinner, we all decided it was a great time for ice cream. Cream is right - it was so soft and creamy. Homemade onsite. And - delicious! My wife had cookies and cream - the cookies are ground up - not big chunks - we both prefer this. I had White Russian - mainly because I don't know where else I could get this flavor! Kids - both went for Chocolate. Yum!

As an added bonus - it is right off the Monon at 86th street. I'll be...

Wow!!! I have been in Indiana for 3 years and have not yet to find my favorite taco place until Chris's Ice Cream. I drive by that place almost everyday because it's like 5 minutes from my house, but I never went in. Part of me was skeptical because I was judging the book by it's cover thinking tacos combined with ice cream won't be authentic. I was all the way wrong! Three weeks ago, I went in for the first time and ordered their steak asada tacos. It blew my mind, because I have not been able to find a taco that tasted this authentic since I've moved to Indy especially on the north side. The steak was so juicy, perfect balance of flavor and texture. I don't like my steak without any fat, their steak is perfectly balanced with the lean and the fat makes every bite amazing. Needless to say, I went back 4 days in a row and I go in every week. Now lets talk about the customer service. The owner Chris is so nice. We would have our little chit chat every time I wait for my food, he is very personable and I always get their ice cream while waiting for my food. I will definitely be a regular as long as I...

This was our first time visiting, with the prices of eating out going up we are careful to choose when and where we spend. We've been wanting to eat at Chris's for a while and visited for lunch date.

It was busy and the crowd was diverse, thankfully we managed to find a table for two and took our seats. The food arrived after ten minutes or so, and we chatted with an enthusiastic repeat customer that has eaten at the restaurant over two hundred times.

The food arrived and we were ready to eat after watching (and smelling) others receive their delicious looking plates. I got a steak burrito with a side of beans and rice and my partner got tacos with various meats and beans & rice as well. We were given full squeeze bottles of a delicious green and red salsa.

The food was delicious.. some of the best in the area. The portion sizes were generous compared to other establishments. The beans are rice were so full of flavor I wanted to stay and keep ordering plate after plate. I'm glad we finally decided to visit Chris's, we'll definitely...
