Carniceria Guanajuato

I was fully expecting a small hole in the wall restaurant, however I was pleasantly surprised to see a spacious and beautiful restaurant. We came specifically to try the tacos as they've created the reputation of being very inexpensive and authentic tacos. They don't have prices on the menu however I believe they were 2-3 dollars per taco however they tasted like they were 10 dollars each. The service was amazing and our tacos came out within 5 minutes. The fish tacos had great potential however the only flaw was that they were very dry. The Al pastor tacos were a nice change to the fish tacos as they were more savory and juicy. The meat was fantastic and it really nailed the salty-sweet combination. The quality is there and it really puts bang for your buck to another level. The server even gave us a free to go cup of salsa and bag of chips which was incredibly generous.

If you are in downtown Indy and are looking for the best Mexican restaurant, look no further. It's not quite walking distance from downtown, but if you have access to a vehicle, it's only 5 minutes away.The restaurant is fairly new and connected to the grocery store. (The grocery store used to have a taqueria inside, but it got so popular that they bought the space next door and opened a full service restaurant. There is still a little taqueria in the grocery store, but the menu is extremely limited now.)

Half restaurant, half grocery store. Impeccable service. There's this cool statue that is right when you walk in. Standard Mexican grub that's always really good. If you want a lot of food do the Surf and Turf. Last time I did Cubano torta...ridiculously big and really good. A solid member of my monthly work lunch rotation.

We came for lunch and the food portions are great and the prices are even better. I was disappointed that at this Mexican restaurant they had no alcohol. No margaritas. No beer.

After spending the day downtown watching the state high school soccer games, we felt like trying something new for dinner. Our friends suggested this restaurant and it was only a few minutes from IUPUI, so off we went.You enter the building through the grocery store, which we loved! In fact, my son and his buddy loaded up on Mexican candy after dinner! The restaurant had a interesting, very eclectic atmosphere. For sure unique.The menu was a fun mix of Spanish and English but we were able to figure it out with our limited high school Spanish! The street tacos were excellent- our party tried a bunch and we all decided the chicken was the best. The guacamole was smooth and the small was a big serving! We tried cactus and hot roasted peppers (because why not?), and enjoyed the sides of rice and beans too. The corn tortillas were my favorite part - perfectly cooked. No margaritas, but a cold diet coke waa still a good companion to the spicy hot sauces we added to our meal. Overall a solid choice - I wouldn't drive across town to visit, but if I was nearby I'd be happy to return.

Great Mexican grocery store they have a variety of stuff. It's a pretty big store though not as big as the one in Lafayette Rd. Customer service was great and place was clean and neat as will. Moreover if you're coming for some meat/chicken be sure to come early because the line will be extremely long. I think I waited for like 20-30 minutes to be helped. Also you do have to get a number because they go by number. Furthermore I really recommend this grocery store.

Pretty much the best reference for a Mexican restaurant in town!If I'm not wrong this was the first Carnicería Guanajuato in town and not so long ago they did some remodeling to the building next to them and now is a grocery store plus a restaurant!This restaurant has several tables so it can hold a group easily.This time I tried their fish ceviche tostadas and they were not disappointing; most Mexican restaurants add a lot of onion to their ceviche to make it a profit bi giving less fish but not in here.One of their specialties is the steak or mix platter which is a big plate with different types of meat with beans and tortillas which serves up to 6 people.I big recommendation is when you ask for their hibiscus water ask for an extra glass of regular water because they prepare a huge water jug with tons of sugar, wish they could do something with this.During the weekends you can try some special things in the menu like menudo or pozole which are very tasty stews of goat or belly.Hope you give a try soon!

My first time here was for a Yelp event a few days ago and we had the opportunity to try the fish tacos. They were very good so we're back to try other items on the menu. The Market was known for their superb taqueria and busy location so they have added this full service restaurant. Street parking is available along the building and the restaurant is just a few blocks from I-70 on the corner of Oliver Avenue and Division. The upscale restaurant is lovely with murals on the walls, tile floors, a faux balcony, a very impressive, large water fountain in the center of the dining room with lots of warm colors throughout. We were immediately greeted by the gentleman at the carryout counter then taken directly to a table by the hostess. All of the seating is 4-6 top tables with generous spacing between tables.A green and red salsa was delivered with chips in just a few minutes. I enjoyed the salsa but my husband found it just okay. It wasn't as spicy as the first time I had it and I hope it was just a fluke.The extensive menu can be a touch confusing when you first start browsing with both Spanish and English descriptions. The categories are well marked and each item has a brief description and many of the meat items are prepared several different ways. You'll find the standard menu items plus more. Tacos, Fajitas, Tortas, Quesadillas, Nachos, Burritos, Eggs (available before Noon), and Enchiladas are all available. The entrees include half or a whole Chicken, Grilled or Breaded Chicken Breast, T-bones, Steaks prepared with different sauces, Enchiladas, Pork dishes and many Fish and Shrimp dishes. I love all the seafood options with different Seafood Cocktails, Seafood Soups, Surf and Turf, whole fish to tilapia filets and Shrimp with various sauces. They offer for groups of 6 two table options, Seafood Table ($69.99) or Meat Table ($44.99) for six. The seafood table is served with Paella, Shrimp, Baby Lobster, Oysters, Tilapia, Fried Tilapia, Marinated Shrimp and Raw Fish, plus Crab Legs. The Meat table can be ordered for 4 or 6 persons. It's served with Steak, Grilled Chicken, Mexican Sausage, Fried Pork, Cactus, Grilled Onions and Jalapenos. An extensive menu that has something for most. They are prepared to serve 1 to large groups.My husband ordered the Fajitas Cameron (Shrimp) served with rice, beans, a salad, grilled green peppers, onions and tomatoes and tortillas. First, what a generous portion (see the pictures) and these were nice size shrimp. Flavorful, delicious but just a tad overcooked, but not enough to destroy the texture or flavor. He was thoroughly pleased with his dinner and found it to be a great value compared to many other restaurants.I ordered the Filetes de Pescado/Tilapia Filet grilled on a flat iron. When my dinner arrived it was 3 full filets with beautiful grill marks. The large plate was almost overflowing with a small salad, a tasty red rice and thick, almost charro, beans. All for $10.99? What a value for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed.The Market is open and an entrance is open from the restaurant. We didn't have the chance to explore but I'll be back search for fresh veggies and fruits and dine here again.

We found a very tasty restaurant inside the grocery store. we were pleasantly surprised with the food& the stuff was friendly too. HOWEVER they don't sell alcoholic drinks . Anyways We had the meat table for 4 which was about 33 dollars but it was enough for our family of 6 and still had left overs. We will definitely be having this again when we visit downtown Indy. The grocery store has a great variety of Latin American products. We really like this place in general.

Great hidden gem! Large portions with authentic Mexican food at very affordable prices. Visit the attached grocery store and the vast meat department for some additional opportunities to take something home. Menu in Spanish and English.
