My family and I came here and I am blown away. I had exceedingly low expectations and we are extremely picky about Mexican food. It checked all the boxes of being fresh, delicious, and authentic (as far as the Mexican fare). I ordered fried chicken for my children because they have the taste buds of an English peasant and frankly, the chicken was too good for them. The seasoning was great, and the chicken was juicy with huge portions. I got the birria ramen which was scrumptious; the soup was the beef consome from birria tacos but with the addition of ramen noodles which was not disappointing. Plus it has cheese tacos on the side (cooked like birria tacos but sans the beef). My husband got the fish tacos and said they were the best he's ever gotten at a Mexican restaurant. Everything was so fresh, and the owner checked on us multiple times, so friendly! We've been searching for years for the best Mexican restaurant in Indy, and I think we might have found it. Every star is well-deserved, don't let outside appearances...
Read moreThis was my first visit here since what im guessing is a change of ownership. The previous chicken place here had awesome food. The current owners have done a great job of remodeling. The previous layout made the seating area look and feel cramped. The current layout takes great advantage of the space, making the same area seem larger, well decorated, and relaxing. There's a good range of menu options. I asked the very friendly lady taking our order, which dishes she considered their best, she suggested one of their Alambre dishes, the Arroz con Pollo rice with chicken) and when I mentioned I dont like beans, immediately let me know they're happy to make substitutions. We ordered the Alambre with both chicken and steak, and the Arroz con Pollo, and a horchata drink, for takeout. Both dishes were Awesome, great taste, very good portions, enough for us to easily get 2 meals each. The horchata was great too. Wish I would've taken pics but we were so hungry at the time it never occurred to us :) I highly...
Read moreThis is REAL Mexican, not the "meat, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, beans, rice, guac and tortillas in 1000 different combinations" American Mexican.
Had chilaquiles verdes con pollo and taco al pastor. They ROCKED IT. Masa corn chips (not fried Doritos) perfect eggs and lime-braised chicken tenders with queso fresco and cilantro lime crema, and just a tiny hint of the previous 89 things that had been cooked on the griddle, which is as it should be.
The al pastor was pounded shoulder and while not a pork belly, it mattered nada, as that's probably too expensive these days and the little fat bits were still exactly right. Double masa tortilla and a braised pineapple slice with cucumber and a pico that you could shoot tequila with.
I hope this place gets on the map soon - or maybe I don't and I can keep it...
