have been many times and enjoyed all the items. We usually visit at lunch on the weekends and they are never crowded. Portions are large so be aware.Upvote3Downvote
Been looking for a Mexican place like this here! Everything I've tried so far is delicious. The Suiza burrito I had with chorizo today was the bomb dot com. Service is fast and it's inexpensive!Upvote4Downvote
Christina CooperSeptember 3, 2013The gorditas are bomb! The elote was sooo good! Their rice and beans were de-lish! The large orchata is HUGE, more than enough to share with someone!Upvote3Downvote
The veggie options are still huge and so so delicious! The chimichangas are an amazing guilty treat!Upvote1Downvote
The best and kindest Mexican restaurant. Fresh ingredients and a super chef. Indy's best kept secret. Not your average taco - primo.UpvoteDownvote- Andrew FurmanMay 4, 2016Awesome cheap burritos (under $10 for a burrito). You can get take out if there's a huge wait.UpvoteDownvote

Kat RudbergJanuary 2, 2013Shiny new digs! (Located in the strip mall just behind the original building.) I miss the hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, though.Upvote1Downvote

Chelsea CookeMay 18, 2017Waited an hour for food on a lunch break on Thursday. Had to leave without eating. I asked not to pay for drinks, and the manger called me bitch. I was told they handle call in orders first.UpvoteDownvote- Watch out for the nut punching baby under the counter.Upvote7Downvote
JessicaMay 30, 2015I'm not sure why I don't see more tips saying they DO NOT sell margaritas. They sell Bud Light Lime-A-Ritas.UpvoteDownvote

RT SpencerAugust 18, 2018Horrible service. Consistently slow and cold food. It was my place to go for Mexican but the poor service and constant cold food has crossed it off my list.UpvoteDownvote
Service is sub-par, but the food is great.UpvoteDownvote

"Excellent beer list. They give you three different kinds of salsas with the chips, too!"

"The guac is incredible. Go for a salad and tacos to share. Two taco plates is too much. The fish tacos were legit. Drinks are great. My only service complaint is feeling rushed."
