Was in town for Taylor swift and stumbled upon this hidden gem. Family owned business serving delicious Mexican food. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and the line was through the door. The restaurant is on the smaller side but cozy.We ordered and paid at the counter. The server taking the order was very nice. Service was quick, and served us a table to accommodate all the food we ordered.The horchata came out first and it tasted great. It was mixed well and has a good amount of cinnamon. Our tacos had a lot of meat in them and it was still hot which made it delicious. The fried tamale was unique to us and was surprisingly good. Their green sauce was one of the best I've had and brings a good sour flavor. It was my first time having the pambazo and it was great. The bread was fried and had a good crisp. It goes well with the steak and potatoes inside. The pozole rojo with pork was good as well. Good soup flavor and pork was very tender.We also got the tacos dorados and they were fried perfectly. It was crispy and the tinga de res was tender. Overall great environment and dining experience with delicious food! Would love to come back if I'm back in Indiana again!

I turned on my Yelp radar and ended up here. Forty-nine of Indy's top Yelpers say it's a 5.0. And I thought so too. The place is not fancy or upscale or trendy. It's a hole in the wall with 11 tables. You order at the counter and grab a seat. The menu is in Spanish but they gave me a partially English version when I looked baffled. The food looks authentic, not the usual enchiladas and pinto beans. The clerk is friendly and helpful. I ordered the Chicken Tacos Dorados, which are rolled up tacos that are deep fried and then covered with cream cheese, lettuce and avocado. The plate was so beautiful, it could have been served in a super high-end restaurant. And the tacos were crunchy and delicious. The avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy. My husband had the Tamales Fritos with chicken which were two large deep fried tamales, covered in a green sauce and topped with cheese. Again, beautiful, spicy and delicious plate. They have a kid's menu. The breakfast menu looks awesome too. When we left, the tables were full. The parking lot was also full. I recommend going off-peak hours. They don't take reservations. I'm number 50 to say 5.0.

Saw a lot of solid reviews, so I stopped in for lunch, and was not disappointed. They have a full menu, and make it convenient for those whose Spanish may be a little rusty (ha)! Be that as it may, I ordered a Pambazo, and it was loaded with potato, chorizo, and fresh cheese. The hot sauces will wake you up quickly.A small little shop with a few tables. Not much of a wait, but you know you're getting something fresh-fresh. Definitely worth a try, and now on my "must return" list. Well done!

Brushing off that high school-level Spanish knowledge in order to order. I went with the quesadilla with frijoles (beans) and also an agua fresco (lemon, mint, cucumber flavor). For the amount of money and how filling and delicious it was, I would highly recommend. Small space for dining in, but definitely enough for small groups!

We stopped in here on a Tuesday night to have a little a "Taco Tuesday" at home while watching a movie after work.It is a very small space inside due to the dining area being immediately to the left and then a small walkway up to the register with no designated to/from traffic (just kinda trying to squeeze around people). All of the staff and other customers were very friendly though! They have a large digital menu in English and Spanish above the registers, but they also have English and Spanish versions of their menu on the entry way table.We each got 2 tacos (I got the pastor, he got the campechano) and a Gordita clasica. We got home to plate them and pair with some chips, salsa, and guacamole and were pleasantly surprised at how THICK the tacos were. They were piled with meat, cilantro, and onions. Definitely the best price point for the amount of food out of any taco spot on the West side we have tried so far. Both were very flavorful and had tender meat, nothing was overcooked or dried out. The Gordita clasica was also really flavorful and I loved the different textures. The orange hot sauces are always our favorite everywhere we go for tacos and we were not disappointed! So spicy and had great flavor. The green hot sauce had a slight hint of heat to it as well and was also very tasty.We can't wait to come back and try more off of their menu!

I came here one night after work when neither I or my partner wanted to cook. It was busy, but there was still space to sit if we had decided to not take away. We ordered a few different items: Sopes, I had never had these before, but they were good. Huaraches, this was my partners favorite. Pozole Verde, this one was my favorite, it was so good! I'd love to come back and try more from the menuThey had so many different items and I was a little intimidated by how many options they had. If you speak a little Spanish and can ask questions, I found it to be helpful with questions and advice when ordering.

This little hole in the wall, is putting out the best street tacos, I have ever eaten. It's not cheap, but everything is really fresh and hot. I got 3 tacos, a pastor, an Azada, and a campechano. They were all delicious, but the campechano was my favorite. It was so good, that I ordered another one. The agua fresco was a real surprise. I got the one with lemon mint and cucumber, and I was amazed at how good it was. They would be awesome on a hot summer day. I can't wait to go back and try the other things on the menu. This is going to be a weekly stop for me.

Coming from Southern California, I'd say this is the best and most authentic Mexican I've had since moving out here!

Great staff, food and ambience. I stumbled upon this dive a couple weeks ago and went back last week with my wife and some friends. Easily one of the best in the city. Everything seems to be made fresh. Unlike most restaurants, everything pretty much looks like the pictures on the menu - which is mostly en espanol, so the pictures are great. Get in there!
