Macizo Restaurant

My second visit to this family owned Peruvian restaurant on the Northwest side. The menu isn't big but having heard great things about the soup it was already on my mind and sounded great after a short but cold hike at nearby Eagle Creek park.I treated myself to the mole latte, which came cold from nitro brew. It was delicious, with a little kick that hit late. My friend ordered the purple horchata, a solid choice. The Sopa Criolla was the perfect thing for a cold day. With beef, potatoes, noodles and an egg on top. I added some of the chili paste brought to the table to give it more of a kick-the soup on its own is flavorful but not spicy. My friend got the tacos, and loved the cheese placement between the two tortillas. I believe the owner took our order and checked on us; she was super sweet and appears genuinely happy to host her customers. Fantastic food, great prices and delightful service-I can't say enough nice things about this place. Try it.

I just keep coming back for more! Every food item I've tried here continues to surprise me in the most delightful of ways. For example (and Yelp some come for me for this one!) but I'm not a pasta lover, at all. My friend ordered the Pasta Huancaina and insisted I try it. It was unlike any pasta I've ever had. The lomo Salgado sauce and the Huancaina sauce added this umami spice to the pasta that kept me wanting more! The tacos were built in a way that I've never experienced and at some point during my first meal here, I lost all words. Lost in flavor and comfort and just a feeling I've deeply missed from the quick and fast paced restaurant experiences I've had as of late. There's love and care and family recipes and culture brought into each item in this menu. You MUST try some if the "bubbles" of you're indulging in an alcoholic beverage and if not.. might I suggest the Mole latte if you are a lover of both caffeine and spice?? The ultimate fifth star was earned from the absolute joy and welcoming atmosphere that Omar and Luz have created here is really unlike anything I've experienced as of late. Luz was greeting each and every table and passionately explaining menu items with an excitement that just made you want to be a part of it all. This place has a welcoming and joyful feeling that I hope you experience by visiting this place. I know I will continue to return here. Thank you Luz & Omar for doing what you do. What a gift!

Loved it! The interior is sleek and super clean. They have only been open four months. We were told they are still working on the decor. The staff is spectacular! Kind and attentive, but not over bearing. We had a girl lunch and didn't mind that we sat for a long time to talk. We all offered something different and all were delicious. Very fresh and tasty! I had chicken tamales. They tasted different from any other tamale I've had. The corn masa was ground finer and a lighter color. Plenty of chicken and a bit of verde sauce on each one. Three in the order.Also ordered was the steak burrito that came with a side of beans and the enchiladas verde. Everyone was pleased! A load of sourdough bread was purchased to take home. Also a small taste of the sangria, which we will be getting on a future visit. The macha sauce, which they make, added extra zip!

What a fantastic restaurant. This may even be my new favorite place! First off, the food is amazing. Everything I've had so far has been both unique and exquisite. It makes me want to order the same thing every time but I'm trying to be good at trying all the different options. Even better than the food are the owners (Mexican & Peruvian, hence the food) + waitress. Extremely nice, very hospitable, and they take the time to truly get to know you! They seem always happy to chat in English or Spanish if you know it. Parking is super easy, the decor is bare but efficient, and I would go back every week if I could!! (Oh, also, the husband/owner makes his own sourdough that you can buy! I bought a loaf and it is SO GOOD).

This is a terrific Peruvian/Mexican restaurant in a little strip mall just off the interstate. The married owners are Peruvian and Mexican so they decided to combine their 2 culinary cultures in this little restaurant. The inside is much nicer than the strip mall vibe you get from the outside.I tried some of the Peruvian food this time. Next time I'll mix it up and order some Mexican. But whatever food I get, I will definitely be ordering a bubbly drink again. They are traditional Peruvian alcoholic drinks that have an extra smooth texture due to the milk. Be sure to ask about them. The owner may come out and tell you about the extensive process to make them.

Holy cow, where to begin? Nothing but rave reviews for this place. It's off the beaten path, far back from the road and just outside of 465. I hope word of mouth helps this place stay alive because the food and drinks are outstanding. I had the Pasta Huancaina, which is a great example of not judging a book by its cover. It looks like pasta covered in Velveeta sitting on a pile of thick brown water. Do not be fooled. The "Velveeta" is a mildly spicy aji amarillo pepper sauce and the brown is a lomo saltado sauce similar to a poutine gravy. They combine to make a rich and creamy pasta dish, with the pepper cutting the spice enough from making the dish too heavy. Add in their house made crusty bread and it's a perfect meal. If it isn't spicy enough for you, they have a house-made Salsa Macha to add some extra heat. Service is wonderful and helpful including one of the lovely owners who came to our table to deliver cocktails and explain the menu and restaurant history to us.

One of the best restaurants in Indiana. The food is so well crafted, balanced in flavor, and original. I can't think of another place that prepares food like this. The dishes are familiar, and the taste is wow. Sopa criolla, enchiladas verdes, torta de carnitas, and huevos con mole were all very good. The huevos con mole was a great vegetarian option. It was flavorful, savory, and the red and green moles were fantastic. The house made sourdough bread served with it was fantastic. The salsa macha, a condiment served with the meal, was so very good. Spicy, but the flavors are amazing. We had to leave with a jar of it! The dessert we shared, +HIZO bread a la mode is a must get. I may order one all for myself next time I go. It's that good! The dishes were refined, ranking right up there with high-end restaurants, without the high-end prices. The food was approachable, it felt like we were dining in their home. The service is impeccable. From the welcoming greeting right when we walked in, to the friendly server, and meeting one of the owners, who checked in and shared stories about their passion for food and the dishes. She walked around to all tables meeting the diners. Overall, a great experience. It's the kinda place you know you can go back to and can always count on having a quality meal and great experience.

Food is excellent. Menu has quite a variety with a twist in Mexican and Peruvian. Don't be afraid to try anything. Also have great service and attention to detail. The restaurant is simply decorated but it hasn't been open long. They're still establishing their customer base.

Phew, where do I even begin!? I write this review with a full belly having had a very nice Peruvian fusion lunch with my friends. The music was a nice blend of Peruvian classics and not too loud. The restaurant and restrooms are immaculate and clean. Minimalist and cozy at the same time. The customer service was very personal, at first the waitress acted almost like a sommelier, providing samples of drinks that would pair well with our meals. Our entrees were fantastic. I haven't had such flavors in Indiana in a very long time. I hope this place sticks around a while. The Macha salsa was very delicious so I ordered 5oz to go. The dessert was fantastic, I have zero complaints and will be returning again, even though I don't live close to this restaurant!!

Great Authentic cuisine! enchiladas were delicious with house made chili oil and my kids loved the bottled coke and buttered pasta
