La Eskina Indy

La Eskina Indy absolutely blew me away! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a charming touch that makes you feel right at home. From start to finish, the service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed.The food? Incredible. Their queso is next-level--the creamiest, most flavorful queso I've ever had. Paired with their fresh, perfectly crispy fried chips, it was impossible to stop eating. I ordered the lunch portion quesadilla, expecting something small, but it was absolutely huge! The amount of cheesy, flavorful goodness packed into every bite was amazing, especially for such a great price.This place is a true gem, and I already know I'll be coming back a lot. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go--you won't regret it!

Absolutely incredible! They have some of the BEST tortilla chips ever because they use actual tortillas and fry them in-house! I ordered the Totra Ahorgada & couldn't be happier with my choice. The pickled red onions on top were fantastic and the tomato sauce poured over the top had so much flavor!When I walked into the restaurant to pick up my food, the atmosphere was authentic Mexican, lively, and colorful! The service was very quick and friendly.I absolutely recommend this place as one of the best Mexican options in Indianapolis!

This is the place to go for authentic (and inauthentic) tortas in Indy. This isn't your typical 'free chips and salsa' pseudo-Mexican restaurant.Oh and they have great tacos too.

Found this spot in Fountain Square and had a great taco lunch. I was hungry so I tried everything that looked good which was a lot! I got steak, chicken and a mushroom taco and they were delicious. They felt authentic with a little twist of having red onions. I might ask to see if they can do white onions next time. The sauces had just the right amount of heat. The fries were crispy and exactly what I like!! The interior is comfy and cute. The waiter was fun and answered all my questions. Next time I want to come after work so I can have margaritas!

We tried this for the first time recently and it was such a great date night. The space is small and intimate, so many cute vibes for photos. We ordered chips and queso, the chips were freshly made. We each ordered tortas that were huge and delicious. You could easily split one if you wanted. We also tried one of the tacos which was delicious. We ordered two drinks, and it was one the best margs I've had in so long. Service was extremely friendly and hard working as they were short staffed when we went but they didn't stop moving the entire time we were there. We'll be back!

When met with a slightly damp day in July, this place we looked up on Yelp and noticed that we were in the neighborhood. Nestled on the corner of Steven St. and Virginia Ave., this colorful building was inviting and warm. The host welcomed us warmly and we got a great seat near the center of the restaurant. We got drinks and ordered the queso and chips with a side of hot sauce! It was so good. We got the menus and the names of the Tortas, which were really interesting. The "Daddy Yankee" torta for me and a "Bad Bunny" torta for my sister. My meal had breaded steak and, chorizo, chipotle peppers, and mozzarella! It was so spicy and tasted great with the green tomatillo sauce and spicy red sauce. I was sweating but in a good way! We had a concert later that day and wanted to have some eats before we went. Price was great and food was amazing! 5 stars!

I'm so glad I came across this hidden gem on Fountain square ! It's a small place right on fountain square but could still could get missed . Look out for the green building . We decided to try it on Friday evening as we were looking for a chill place to hangout . The servers were friendly and gave us their recommendations on food and drinks . I'm glad I ordered what they recommended . I had not heard of Tortas before . They were amazing ! I got the Megan Fox Tortas ( yes they are named after celebrities) it was juicy chicken breast , chorizo , queso and mozzarella. The sandwich was delicious and flavorful ! I ordered the house margarita which was classic and no surprises there .Definitely looking forward to try more tortas on the menu and hoping to experience outdoor seating next time :)

I've eaten alot of tortas in my day, both in Mexico and state side. The tortas here are mid at best, not overwhelming, and honestly I felt my chicken Milanesa on my "bad bunny" was way too dry and underwhelming. It was not as loaded as I would have liked. The torta was thin and didn't have a lot of gusto. This for a $15 torta too! The common torta that's delicious runs at max 10! The chips and salsa were delicious. I enjoyed the salsa verde and the other salsas I received with my torta. The esquites were good. The vibe inside is cool, and the service was good. To be honest though, whenever I want a torta I won't be thinking of la Eskina! There are numerous better torta places in Indy that charge a more reasonable price and you get more for your buck.

I had an excellent experience here. I came on a Wednesday around 1 p.m. There was a large family in the front room and I was seated alone in the back room. I'm always wary of being out of the main line of sight, as it can mean servers forgetting about you. That was not the case here. My server checked in frequently enough to be helpful but not enough to be annoying - just the right balance. I was very impressed with the food, drinks, and beauty of the presentation. I ordered a Topo Chico (mineral water). It was served in a chilled bottle, with an optional glass of ice, biodegradable straw (rice, maybe?), and optional lime slices. Lots of the reviews focus on the tortas, but have you tried their tacos? HEAVEN. My favorite birria tacos were nudged down to second place after trying the birria tacos here. They were incredibly flavorful with very few fatty pieces of meat. It came with the standard dipping sauce, but I barely needed it. I had a huitlacoche taco that was equally delicious. Tacos are served with two sauces that are flavorful without being extraordinarily hot. I ordered my tacos without "raw" onion and I was served cooked onion on the side. I'm not sure if that was because of my no onion request or if they are always served this way, but the cooked onions were perfectly charred/caramelized and make a great topping for the tacos. My only complaint about this place is that it isn't closer to my house. But really, that's probably better for my waistline and my wallet that this will be an infrequent treat.

"La eskina" means "the corner," and this little corner restaurant in Fountain Square has been on my list for awhile. The owners spruced it up and it looks so cute and vibrant. I've tried to stop in two other times on a Monday and it's been closed every time (even though the hours on their front door said they were open on Mondays). We finally stopped in on a Saturday night with a group of friends. I called to make a reservation about an hour before and while I wasn't able to ask in English, I tried in Spanish and they said they'd put us down for a table - woo! When we arrived, I immediately noticed the backlit, colorful Jarritos wall and cute bar. Love the decor! We got sat in the back and there were menus at our seats. I had seen awesome drink menus posted on their Yelp page with elaborate, fruity mocktails, cocktails, margaritas, and more, so I was confused when there were zero drinks on the menu in front of us. When we asked, our server said they had no drink menu, but that they we could have a beer or margarita. Usually there is some kind of choice, but our group just went with whatever margaritas they had.Our server was soooo sweet and smiley, although there was definitely a language barrier that resulted in some wrong orders. My husband and I got the guacamole with pork belly on top, as well as the fajitas, which come with beef, chicken, and shrimp. We never got our one order of fajitas when the rest of our friends got their food and when we asked, they brought us two orders of fajitas. Okay! I thought they were pretty good, but my husband wasn't a fan. We were the only table in there and the whole team (including the kitchen staff) was all hanging at the tables by the door, on their phones. It was only 8:30pm on a Saturday night, but we felt like we should head out so their team could leave too.All in all, I'd love to come back and try again, as our server was so sweet and I've heard the owner is great too. I'm cheering you on and would recommend at least giving them a try!
