El Corcel Mexican Restaurant

Super dope little spot by our house, don't get the chance to come often but when we do, service has always been PHENOMENAL, food is always FRESH, Hot, n SÚPER flavorful! Much love yall

We came to El Corcel after a business trip to IN from California and Texas. We wanted authentic Mexican food and oh boy was it good! We had Molcajete and was a lot of food and so good! Loved the drinks and food, don't judge the building! Leo provided excellent service, fast and friendly!

A tiny little hole in the wall. Friendly service and it's frequented by a lot of hispanics, so you know that's a good sign. Get your Mexican staples and a few Peruvian specialties here.I enjoyed a truly yummy chimichanga, which was deep fried, stuffed to the hilt with nicely flavored ground beef and smothered in queso. Along side with rice beans, pico and sour cream... so good. My daughter enjoyed the nachos carbon, which seemed to include some nice big fat shrimp.My other guest enjoyed the lomo saltado which included steak mixed with veggies and french fries topped with 2 fried eggs and had white rice and fried plantains on the side. She really liked it too.They do serve Mexican coke, wine and beer here. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. Give it a try.

It's always a pleasure to find small incognito restaurants that have delicious food. Small and clean. Gives me diner vibes. Our server was really nice and informative about the menu items. Served the usual free chips and salsa. The chips are perfectly crispy and the salsa matches well. I enjoyed hard shell chicken tacos with a side of rice. Authentic, flavorful, filling and delicious. The prices are inexpensive as well. I have no complaints and will continue to dine here.

Not many choices in the area so this place sits at the top. Easy access, quick, friendly and quality/quantity are on point every visit.

Not located in the best area, but clean and solid food and service. My wife had the lunch beef chimichanga, which came with rice and beans, and a small salad. It was big enough that she couldn't finish it.I ordered the lunch chilaquiles with chicken and verde sauce. Very tasty and the sauce brought a bit of tanginess to the dish. It also came with rice, beans, and a small salad.We're definitely coming back when working in the area.

Great Family Run Restaurant !!! As a travelling foodie, I'm always looking for the hidden jewels when I'm in the small towns in America. I checked into my hotel and asked a few of the staff where a good place in town was to eat. More than one referred me to El Corcel. I hopped into my car and headed in to Crawfordsville. The restaurant was easy to find, I also found parking on the street right outside, so that was a bonus. When I walked in I was greeted by the staff like I was an old friend. I told them I was from Canada and they pretty much rolled out the red carpet for me. Since this is a South American Restaurant, the menu was quite extensive, so I decided to keep it simple and order fajitas since I had not had Fajitas in a long time. I also decided to try something different so I one went with the Fajita Veracruz.Let me warn you, this is a large dish as are most fajitas. This one had shrimp, steak, tilapia, chorizo etc, and came with beans and rice. My choice was a good one as I ended up eating almost everything on my plate, as well as a couple of baskets of chips, and a couple of Ice Cold Modello's. This place I highly recommend. The restaurant filled up fairly quickly, so I suggest getting there before the dinner rush, since they had to turn away a few people. You can also order take out here. I would return to this wonderful family run place. The staff is great and patient if you're not familiar with the cuisine, and they are very friendly and warm people.

Oh. My. Goodness. This place was amazing. First of all, we goofed with the time change crossing state lines and arrived ten minutes after they closed. They insisted we stay as we were trying to be respectful and leave. The food was so so so amazing. They have this one hot sauce that will absolutely end your life. If they weren't already closed I would have asked to buy a gallon of it to bring home. You could use the stuff to remove paint from old car parts. So delicious and deadly. I'm from southern California and this is absolutely the best Mexican food I've had this side of the Mississippi. AMAZING!

A little place we found while looking for something else that we decided to stop and try. Small, but clean and comfortable. The staff were polite and very friendly. Service was fast. The food was delicious and served in generously sized portions at a reasonable price.

I've stopped at this location before to get lunch, and although I've had a bad experience I went in because it was the closest place at the moment. I grabbed 3 tacos and 1 burrito for my wife and kids. I specified no cilantro or onions on the tacos since the kids eat the tacos plain. Also got 1 jarrito soft drink to go. Total was 19.88. You do the math and each taco comes out to about 4$ each. Not to mention they put cilantro and onions on the tacos. My prior experience was also being overcharged where I ordered 2 burritos and 2 drinks totaling 30$!!!! Be careful when you pay, you specify the tip, because they will tip themselves.
