Tu Casa Latin Food

A true representation of Latin/dominican cuisine. The ladies who cook & serve at the stem table speak little English but are so pleasant and manage to convey the description of the various dishes. You will not leave hungry. A plate of rice (2 choices) form the base of the stewed meats (pork or chicken). The Sweet plantains are terrific as is the potato salad I. A lunch plate also includes soup with a chicken leg. Sorry, no beer but a selection of soft drinks. Such a great find. Return visits are in my future.

Such good food! Delicious homemade food type of restaurant. I see why they call it "Tu Casa," because it makes you feel you're eating a home cooked meal. We will definitely return. Their customer service was great as well!

Great service all around. Got greeted and attended very well. Place was very clean and neat. Place is a little small but great to come with family and friends. Moreover I got the Chicken Empanadas and they were so so good honestly very juicy and tasty. They service them with a side of green salsa and oh my god very savory salsa. I also got the Tamarindo agua fresca and it was rich. Furthermore I really recommend trying this restaurant out and make sure to try the empanadas you won't regret jt.

This is the best Dominican food in all of Indy ! You get great quality food at a great price and the owner is so awesome . I always stop by when I am in the area .

Food was good, had the steak (bistec) because there was a limited menu and we were told the only options were those on the serving line. Had the choice of chicken, steak, white rice, morro, pinto or black beans, potato salad or regular salad. We were told they also had empanadas so I got a steak and a beef one. Empanadas were ok, not worth the money at $5 each but ok. I was looking for more honestly after reading the menu I was ready for some true Dominican food. Ambiance is still under way, as it came off as somewhat of a cafeteria style but in transition. Staff was friendly, luckily I speak a little Spanish cause they were limited on English except for one young lady who came out the back. It was good, but I expected more especially after driving cross town for it and one of my coworkers came along and hadn't had Dominican food before. He liked it more than me, because my expectations: in all a good spot, but be prepared to spend a little extra.

The arepas are soooojuicy!!! They give a lot in the soup but I forgot to take a pic when I first started it. The arepas are super full the outside is delicious!!! The chicken & rice is YUMMY!! The passion fruit juice is super good. Everyone who works there is so kind. The pollo (chicken) and the carne (beef) empanadas are super good too. I think the arepas are better though because they are bigger. They keep the dining area clean also.

Let me tell you about my tasty chicken arepa with a splash of cilantro cream- the chicken was moist and flavorful and by the end I was thinking, "I can't wait to tell others about this place!" At Tu Casa Latin Food, you'll find a mix of Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, and Dominican cuisine. From mofongo to empanadas, they've got it. The front case features all of the food so you can get a peek before ordering. They offer two types of rices and two types of beans. We especially enjoyed our chicken arepa and black beans with white rice. We also ordered a beef empanada. Service was a-okay and we opted for carry out. Next time, I would also like to try the beef empanadas. The beef looked very juicy and flavorful. If you love to crawl your way around the International Marketplace for ears like we do, this spot is located just a mile north.

WOW this food is amazing.First of all, a Dominican AND a Venezuelan restaurant...and in Indianapolis as opposed to Miami or something? WOW, y'all, we are lucky to be blessed with this place.It's in the corner of a strip mall across from Fay Biccord Community Center. Large parking lot. and right off of 71st & Michigan.When you walk in, they have food already prepared that you can order from (almost cafeteria style) or you can put in an order for something more elaborate that might not be prepared, depending on the menu and daily specials.Someone was concerned in a review about English/Spanish capabilities. Don't worry. My Spanish is meh these days, so I ordered in English. The two workers understood me just fine. I could tell Spanish is their first language, and they appreciated it when I used a bit of Spanish - it's important to try to speak someone's language when you are their guest (if you can), ya know?I was so excited to order popular cuisines from both cultures: Mofongo with chicken (Dominican) and an arepa with beef (Venezuelan). I also got fried sweet plaintains.First of all, WOW WHAT AN EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR on that Arepa! The meat was full of sauce and it did a party in my mouth. An arepa is basically like a sandwich - it looks like a pita stuffed with meat, except its made with corn instead of grain. Price is about $6-something.The mofongo was great. This is plantains fried and mashed, and then formed into a ball. 6 or so pieces of chicken on the bone were included, along with a salad. It had a great taste to it. Price is about $12/$13.The fried sweet plantains were maybe $6 as well. Good! Not as sweet as some other places (like Havana Cafe), which may appeal to some folks.I will DEFINITELY return for an arepa many times in the future. Other tips:- credit or cash is fine- water is only in a bottle, so bring your own or be prepared to pay for a drink- dining area is about 6-7 tables- family friendly- menu has words in both spanish and english- menu doesn't list prices so ASK. I saw another reviewer gave this place 1-star due to being surprised by the final bill, but girlfriend should have asked for prices like I did. Sigh. - You order at the counter but you don't pay until you leave (unless you are getting it to-go)

Empanadas that will make you questions your whole existence. They're that good. As are the pastelitos. We made an order for 100 of them for a Hispanic Food festival an my job. They were nice to work with and many people at my job deemed them the best empanadas they've ever had. I would agree. The restaurant is small and tucked away, almost hole in the way style. But that's how you know you're in for an amazing meal!

We tried this little Latin restaurant on recommendations from Yelp on a Thursday. They feature Dominican and Venezuela cuisine. Ordering was confusing. The menus and signs were in Spanish which I can generally work through but I had no clue. The server did not speak English. The sign outside said lunches were $8.99 so we incorrectly assumed that the options on the cafeteria style were included. I ordered a slow cooked beef stew with a side salad and rice and beans. We also ordered water and received a bottle of Costco water. The beef was very good with a mix of spices and vegetables. The rice and beans were excellent. The salad was simple iceberg lettuce with a slice of tomato. The meal overall was good.They have about 10 tables for dine in but it looked like most people ordered carry out. We stayed in. My bill came to $14. I guess the beef was not part of the lunch special. My recommendation is to bring someone fluent in Spanish to help with ordering.
