This is a small joint located in a gas station mall between a barber shop and the gas station convienance store. It is a decent amout of parking available. They have latin music playing throughout the restaurant. The lobby is very small and has a table with a few chairs and bar seating along the wall that is available for dining. The staff there was friendly and helpful. They serve your Mexican favorites including tacos, nachos, elote, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, chimichangas, and enchiladas. They also serve wings and a Mexican burger. Be on the look out for their weekly specials. I got an order of their esquites and three birria tacos. It took about 5 minutes for them to prepare my food. It was fresh and hot. The tacos were delicious, very flavorful. The corn was pretty good, but I felt it was a tad too strong. It was still on the much better end of esquites that I had before. I got some horchata to wash my food down. It was really good. It tasted like rice pudding. I highly recommend it.Don't let this place being located in a gas station fool you. They have some very good and authentic Mexican food here. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

I found this little gem on the way to work and I'm so glad I did. Dang, those carnitas tacos are FIRE! The shop is at a BP gas station, but it has its own separate space with a little bit of seating and a restroom. The atmosphere is lively and you can hear that everyone in the kitchen is having fun cooking. They were quick to welcome me and it only took about 5 minutes to get my food.I was not a fan of the elotes, although I don't have much experience with it elsewhere. The cup was really big, so my first spoonful was just cheese and mayo. I ended up taking off the thick layer of cheese to get to the corn. Let's go back to the tacos though. They were $3 each, had a perfect tortilla, delicious meat and toppings, and weren't greasy. If I keep going back they may even end up becoming my favorite tacos in the city.

Stopped in here for the first time today and got the fajita taco salad, which was just tremendous!Little hole in the wall place kind of reminded me of good Mexican food in Southern California, where I used to live

Wow!!!! This taco spot is a must have!!! A very authentic family owned restaurant. The taste alone stood out with all original ingredients. Alot of options to choose from. Very fast service and staff was very friendly and inviting. If you like spice you have to try the pickled onions

My wife & I moved to the Decatur area over a year ago and ever since we found this place we go at the very least once a week. The food is amazing, price is right, and the workers are very friendly. It's a small joint, but it's so nice to have a great place to get tacos in this area where there isn't much to choose from when it comes to Mexican food. LOVE IT!!!

I went to Mota Tacos today for the first time after a recommendation from a coworker. I ordered a steak burrito and chorizo taco. Both were delicious. It took less than 10 minutes to get my food. Seating is limited, but that was no problem since I was taking it back to work to eat. The burrito was huge and more than I would normally eat for lunch, but it was delicious. I can't wait to go back to explore more of the menu.

If you are tired of all the bland Mexican restaurants in Indianapolis then I would definitely recommend Mota Tacos! If you think all of the Mexican restaurants in Indianapolis are great then try Mota Tacos to experience what real Mexican food should taste like! This little place is a gem! Don't let the location fool you. It is a small carry out attached to the BP gas station. There is bar seating and one table if you needed to stop for a quick bite, but this is mostly carry out. We probably waited 15 minutes after ordering, but it all the food tasted fresh and full of flavor! Don't miss this delicious experience!

Don't let this place being located next to a gas station discourage you from going in. You won't be dissatisfied. Quick service, amount of food is great, good food and fast casual place.

I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!I don't know how I didn't notice this place open about a month ago since I drive past it everyday on the way to work. It's in/adjacent to a gas station but don't let that scare you off.My first experience was when we had a meeting with "light snacks" at work and they had catered chips and salsa from here. Chips and salsa is a whole meal because I'm going to eat all of it and then some more, but I digress. Everyone was talking about the new place that just opened and I knew what I was doing for lunch the next day. The salsa had lots of fresh cilantro and onions and the chips were really sturdy. Perfect combo.We stopped in for lunch today around noon and there were a few groups of people ahead of us. But, the line went super quick. The menu is concise, but there's still lots of options. There is a small lobby with some bar seating if you want to eat indoors. You can order at the counter and wait or you can order ahead of time online or by phone and pick it up. I went with the nachos since that is what my coworker recommended. I added steak as well.The aforementioned sturdy chips held up perfectly to all the cheese, guac, and steak. Everything was delicious and it was a lot of nachos for the price. My brother had a steak burrito and was so impressed with how it was layered and wrapped. It didn't fall apart and it was super full of beans filler.The salsas that come on the side were so good. The green was my favorite, it was tangy and spicy. The red definitely had a kick of garlic.The horchata was delicious. Do yourself a favor and just order the large.I'm so excited to finally have a new lunch option by work and even more excited that it's delicious and affordable. I'm sure we will be here at least once a week. All of the staff were super friendly and took the time to package everything well and make everything ought even though they were super busy.

Stop for gas on a road trip and SCORE a great spot for lunch. Tacos and burritos a la carte . . A three napkin event, bursting with fresh ingredients, choice of meats and even newborn shrimp! Tiny spot with 4 chairs and very friendly staff and cooks, all family! Wish I was not on a road trip so I could eat again soon!
