Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Excellent food and excellent service! Being a foodie from Los Angeles, I missed Latin food like crazy. My friend recommended this El Salvadorian restaurant and it was on point! I highly recommend the pupusas and the tamales. **They have a 2 for $5 special which is a great deal! You can mix and match between burritos, tacos, tamales, and pupusas.** The pupusas were delicious - filled with cheese, beans, and meat - mMmMmmM!! The tamales here are made of sweet corn, very soft, and delicious! The cashier was very kind and checked on us to make sure we liked the food. The venue was very clean. There is also a salsa bar that has everything from jalapenos, pepperchinis, salsa verde, pico de gallo, lemons, cilantro, onions, and sour cream!!! I love a well stocked salsa bar....!

I have taken a while to do this review because I am so torn. I will caveat this review that the four stars are for the events they attend, such as the Zionsville farmers market. The food is amazing. The pupusas are inexpensive and one of the best taco/quesadilla/tamale hybrid thingies I have ever had. Think tamales if they had tons of melty cheese and meat in them, squished flat and grilled until they were crispy on the outside and smushy on the inside. If you ever see them out, get some!!! Here's the part that makes me sad. I loved them as vendors, so I wanted to try their storefront. I actually did an UYE (unofficial Yelp event) with about a dozen attendees. Here's where it went south. We ordered as we trickled in over the course of about 20 minutes. And we waited. And we waited. And still waited. Finally at about the 50 minute mark, one of us had to get the food to go because it was lunch hour. I had a wriggly toddler, so I also tried to get my food to go, and then it was ready (minus the beans I had ordered). Supposedly they thought all the food should come at once, but we had never indicated that. I could see it as an honest mistake, but even still, 50 minutes is way too long to wait. And it wasn't just us. I tracked other tables and it took at least 30 minutes each for the other tables. The food itself was delicious, but it was really stressful to go and have to corral a small child and try to keep my guests from being irritated at the long wait. I cannot recommend going here at lunchtime. If you want a leisurely dinner, the food really is phenomenal. They have a salsa bar with homemade sauces that are all perfectly spiced.

This is a family owned restaurant that serves Salvadoran, Mexican, and American food (hence the 3 in one restaurant). While I'm sure the American and Mexican food is great, the star of the show here is the Salvadoran food. The pupusas are amazing. Not overly sweet, but well utilizing the natural sweetness of the corn. They are great with cheese in them--sort of like a cheese blinchki with mesoamerican flavors! I'd like to try the tamales and tacos next time I stop in. The food is definitely homemade and the owners claim the food is all GMO free-- I was impressed by the salsa station with homemade salsas (and cream sauces). The owners were very friendly--I like to eat in a family run place like this.

Super unsuspecting winner here. Located in a strip of businesses with NOTHING else around. The food is simple and delicious, with locally sourced ingredients and a good wholesome 'family-values' vibe behind the whole operation. Prices are very reasonable and everything is a la carte so you can get a taste of a wide variety. Pupusas were the clear standout. The 'Mixed' was awesome, with shredded pork, cheese, and beans inside. Top with some curtido veggies and dive in. The sweet corn tamales were a new flavor for me and I think I prefer a traditional tamale to this version. The masa was a little too loose and the sweetness of the corn didn't jive with the chicken filling. I think this would be best without any filling at all, which they offer as one of the tamale options. I also had Flautas, which were amazing mostly because of how juicy and crispy they were. I love me some juicy and crispy. Not a place for an interesting ambiance or setting - you come here for the food. I bet you'll leave a happier person than when you walked in.

Try a papousa! Kind of like a corn pancake with goodies inside. (Bean,cheese,meat,etc) The owner is really nice and the food is cheap and good. They use non-gmo corn and get their meats from their friends at the farmer's market.
(5)Larissa M.
This place is so amazingly cheap and delicious. I ate a steak burrito and a chicken quesadilla there while on vacation for only approximately $3.50 each. The burrito was good, but the chicken quesadilla was amazing! I totally recommend.
(5)Julie S.
We ate here with our 2 year old and all three of us loved it. The staff was very friendly and even brought out an appetizer for us to try which was delicious. When I mentioned we were vegetarians the man at the counter took his time to explain exactly what our options were (and there were quite a few) as well as exactly what the different items were. We tried a pupusa which was much like a corn pancake stuffed with cheese and loroco which is a vegetable i have never had. My husband had a tamale an my daughter a quesadilla. The food was very inexpensive, and it was a cafe atmosphere where my daughter was even given crayons to draw on the table (a sheet of paper was over it and some of the precious artwork was on the walls). Also, my husband had his first horchata. Highly recommended!

The "Three" in 3 in 1 is for the three nationalities represented: American, Mexican and El Salvadorian. The menu reflects many El Salvadorian dishes as well as Americanized Mexican dishes - a nice variety! While ordering at the counter, the owner explained some of the items to us, he was enthusiastic about his food and was anxious to help us with our order. They offer many items like pupusas, tacos, burritos, chimichangas, flautas and quesadillas (not to mention many appetizers as well). Order a few items to make a complete meal or you can make an item a combo for a little more (adds beans, rice and a drink). I ordered the chicken and cheese pupusa and a corn tamale. My wife (vegetarian) ordered the tacos and quesadilla - they offer a variety of meats or vegetarian versions of their menu items and they will gladly make them to order. While we were waiting for our food to be freshly prepared, they brought us out two of their popular appetizer items for us to sample - some delicious corn poppers. Wow, they were good; fried corn meal that they recommend dusting lightly with powdered sugar. Good as appetizer or dessert! Our food was brought out to our table and we proceeded to the fixings bar to load the dishes up with cilantro, onions, jalapeños, cole slaw and salsas. I loved the pupusa - it was a fluffy corn tortilla stuffed with the chicken and cheese - my wife and I both remarked several times about how much we loved their cheese. The tamale was tender and was excellent with some cilantro and salsa added to it. My wife loved the quesadilla and her tacos hit the spot. They offer pepsi products. I usually get iced tea at restaurants, I didn't see it on the menu so I opted for a mandarin orange Jarritos which complemented the meal quite well. next time I might go for the horchata. We were impressed with the food, and even though a lot of the ingredients were organic, it was still very affordable. I encourage you to check this place out, be adventurous and try the El Salvadorian food and make sure it has cheese because - mmmmmm!
(5)Adrian T.
The chicken and cheese pupusas are out of this world! The riguas are delicious as well. We've enjoyed this family's food for years at local farmer's markets, so we were excited that they have a storefront again. You have to try this place. Your stomach will thank you!

You know you've had an AMAZING meal when you are still thinking about it days later. I have had thoughts of flautas and fried corn balls pretty much daily since my first visit to 3 in 1 Restaurant. This family owned restaurant boasts an unforgettable menu combining Salvadorian, Mexican, and American specialties. They have definitely been added to my list of local faves! Super excited to have been able to join fellow Yelpers at an UYE graciously hosted by DeAnna P. We started off with the homemade chips and salsa. Oh my word. The chips and salsa were incredible. The chips were so crispy and not greasy. The salsa was fresh, and I really liked the touch of sweetness to it. I didn't want to stop eating. That was until I had the fried corn balls. Pure perfection! Fried golden and simply delicous. I was enjoying the starters so much I almost forgot to order. Decisions, decisions, decisions. The staff member who took my order was nice and helpful. Of course I had to order a pupusa. The loroco and cheese pupusa piqued my curiosity. I was told that loroco is similar to artichoke. Sounded like a winner to me. I also ordered the flautas and a coke. Apparently you pay at the end of your meal. Unfortunately, I do not think they were properly prepared for our group in addition to the larger number of customers that came through during the typical lunch rush hours. So it took quite some time for everyone to receive their food, which is why I knocked them down a star. I'm not sure if this is typical, but they apologized and tried to keep things moving for the most part. Okay, now back to the food. Don't forget to stop by the condiment bar to find all the fixin's for your pupusa including the slaw. The pupusa and flauta were DELICOUS. I actually think I enjoyed the flauta more than the pupusa. Deep fried tortilla stuffed with chicken and cheese topped with lettuce and sour cream. It was heavenly. I tried to slow down, but I couldn't stop eating! The pupusa was also pretty dreamy. The loroco was tender and added a bit of texture. I wanted more when I was done, but I was stuffed! There is NO DOUBT that I will be back to 3 in 1. Family owned, inexpensive, GMO free ingredients, AND locally sourced and fresh ingredients. Definitely a winner to me! They are also present all over the city at various farmer's markets including the Carmel, Zionsville, Irvington, and City Market Original Farmer's Market. This is truly some of the best of Indy!
(4)Laura D.
I love this place!!! Great food, great people, great value and it's close to my work! Until they opened their brick and mortar store, I'd only had their papusas at farmers markets. It's worth the trip!!!
(5)Kevin K.
Simply awesome! These tamales are like nothing you've ever had before. Farm fresh Indiana sweet corn that is cut off the ear in-season, ground on premises, and that becomes the "masa" you typically think of for traditional tamales. Absolutely delicious! I also appreciate the support for local farmers and the dedication to organic and Non-GMO ingredients. Not only do you get a unique cuisine, you can feel better about the responsible way in which the ingredients have been sourced. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful, impeccably clean, and if you have any questions they are happy to help. Also, if there is a Mexican or Central American dish you are craving and it's not on the menu just ask...they probably will make it for you. Indy needs more places like this...and in turn Indy needs to support these types of establishments.

Do not let the somewhat 'off the beaten path' location deter you, this place is delicious and the prices are great. The owner explained everything on the menu to our party and was very gracious. They get all their corn for the wonderful corn tamales locally and they shuck all of this corn themselves in kitchen in the middle of summer, which I would imagine gets rather hot. So really you owe it to them to try at least one. And then there are the pupusas. I had never tried a pupusa before and I have now realized that my food pyramid was clearly missing an essential item. They are delicious tortilla/pita hybrids filled with meat and/or cheese and/or beans. Good thing you can get a tamale AND a pupusa for $5. The chimichanga was maybe the best I have ever had and I had a lot of chimichangas back in my college days. Actually if we are being totally honest, I still do. I also got two orders of chips and salsa and a side of rice (let me clarify, I shared this all with another person, so you can stop judging) as well as all of the aforementioned items and it was $16. So next time you are in the mood for mexican/el salvadorian food...or just need to eat at all, definitely try this place.
(5)Xiao Z.
Pupusas came out nice and hot. Got 2 for $5. Pretty tasty. Put in some cabbage and salsa from the bar. Would definitely come back again. Want to try the rigu corn pancake next time. Would suggest calling in ahead of time. Took about 15 minutes for them to make the two, pork and steak.
(4)Katie S.
Go there. Go there now. Seriously: right now. The restaurant is relatively spare inside, but the food makes up for it (and then some). The pupusas are homemade with local ingredients and wow, they are delicious. Make sure to top them with the sugar that is provided (sounds odd to add sugar, I know, but it's delightful). Our group also tried the fried corn balls and the tamales, and these were outstanding as well. To top it all off, the prices are low, they have options that are vegetarian friendly, AND they're the only restaurant that I've found that serves horchata. This was a total win for us.
(5)Virginia A.
Friendly, affordable delightfull owners. 3 Nationalities in 1. Mexican, Salvadorian and USA. Food is cook on the spot all natural farmers market products. To make it even more delight, food is delicious. Excellent Pupusas and tasteful tamales.
(5)Aaron B.
They are very friendly and took the extra time to explain how everything was cooked and the ingredients. Great tasting food every time I go there.
(5)Finn B.
Very nice staff, great for lunch, I like the extras you can add like the slaw and peppers.
(4)Bryon S.
The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. Not only did they take to explain the menu items to us, but also took the time to suggest toppings. First time my wife and I had pupusas but will get them again. The corn balls were delicious too. The inside isn't too fancy but it was clean and nice. For us the food and staff stole the show. Will come back for sure!
(5)Bella D.
Great food, great service, great prices. I fed both my kids for $5 because they have 2/$5 burritos. They were happy with their food. I got steak tacos, pupusas, and fried corn balls. Very happy with all my food. I also tried their horchata which is El Salvador style, as opposed to Mexican (which is what I'm used to). It was different, but I liked it. Service was friendly and attentive and the place was clean. I will definitely go again.
(5)Marc K.
Great food, excellent service, laid-back atmosphere and a commitment to local, high-quality ingredients. Our pupusas were fantastic, especially the bean and cheese. The only small criticism is that they could use a few broader vegetarian choices, especially a veggie filled tamale. Will be returning soon, especially to try the all-corn (no masa) tamales.
(5)Allison F.
I experienced a couple of first's at 3 in 1, seeing that I had never eaten El Salvadorian food before, but that's the beautiful thing about Indianapolis: you have plenty of opportunities to expand your palate beyond the Hoosier "meat and potato" go-to's. First came the Pupusa. Think of it as a thin El Salvadorian hot pocket or--better yet-- a corn meal sleeping bag that allows meat, cheese and beans to sleep inside. Top it with crunchy curdito/cabbage salad and tomato-based salsa roja for a well-rounded bite. It's doughy, gooey, fried, crunchy, fresh, and luscious at the same time. How does one top such an extensive combination? (NOTE: I assumed that a fork was necessary, but I did see someone fold her pupusa and eat it like a taco, leaving me envious that I had not thought of something so genius and portable.) Second came the Sweet Corn Tamale. This will throw you off at first if you've tasted a more savory traditional tamale before, but I would categorize this corn husk bundle of joy as dessert or a Central American corn pudding. It's much sweeter than you'd expect, but authentic and delectable all the same. Both of these dishes are must-try's on your visit to 3 in 1. If you can't make it, then be sure to keep an eye out for the pupusas at some of the local farmer's markets. Don't let the opportunity to give yourself a more diverse palate pass you by.

Aww gee, I'm business crushing big time here, you guys. Family owned? Salvadorian pupusas? Extremely affordable? Si! Si! Si! Join me in supporting this local eatery that combines Mexican, American and Salvadorian flare, wouldya? Note: It's really more of a Mexican/Salvadorian restaurant - nothing on the menu is notably American (thank heavens - all the charm is bundled up into their authentic eats). It's all about the curtido (pickled cabbage/carrot slaw) for me. This crisp and refreshing topping is paired with the pupusas or tacos, if you like. What is a pupusa, you ask? Think of a tamale turned into the shape of a pancake and filled with beans or cheese or chicken or some combo of the three. Fun fact: 3 in 1 uses local organic corn meal. Rumor has it the flautas are also pretty tasty here. Note: the salsa is on the sweet side. Second note: Salvadorian horchata is different from Mexican horchata (they can explain more). You can eat lunch here for around $6 - - talk about a tasty steal!
(5)Cynthia M.
Taste bud heaven! Those little Poppers are round, fried, sweet, hot surprises! Though not Poppers in the traditional sense with peppers and cheese, which I think would make them other worldly, the fresh, sweet corn definitely qualifies as comfort food! I appreciate the reference to the Trinity, their 3 sons, 3 nationalities, 3 specialties, and I am thrilled with the emphasis on GMO Free and locally sourced.
(5)Nicholas N.
This restaurant set up a stand at abundant life church farmers market. I took home two tamales with parmesan cheese sour cream and tomatilla sauce. Excellent flavor. I want to visit the restaurant now.
(4)Cheryl C.
We were searching for tamales on Fathers Day and 3 in 1 did not disappoint! We ordered a variety of pupusas and tamales, and enjoyed every bite. The chips were freshly prepared and we liked the salsa so much we took some home. The vibe is very low key, but clean and super friendly. We will be back.
(5)Jason S.
Friendly, personal sevice. The salsa and chips were fresh and delicious! Food is amazing. All of it. Only rice in town that looks fresh made in house. If you beat the crowds the tacos are the best.
(5)Melissa N.
Awesome food, cheap, and the place is spotless!! Had chicken tamales and a steak taco...both were great. Salsa roja is perfect. Go here NOW!
(5)Sean C.
Yes, pretty good. We really liked the salsa, delicious sweet tomato taste. The tamales are made with real corn and taste great as well. Tacos were solid; I did not like the small calzones as much, but it is just my own taste. Overall, I really like the place, and it is also very clean. Will go back.
