Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    I'm a big fan of Mexican soups, "caldos." El Pastorcito does it very well. They have a large variety typically- chicken, beef, shrimp, etc. Unparalleled for a good homemade soup- broth, vegetables, meat. Their chips and salsa are very strong also. Downside is that everything is a la carte, and when the jukebox plays, it can be obnoxiously loud. Service can be spotty also, but on my last couple of visits, it has been consistently strong. My new go-to amongst the greats like Pancho's and La Parada.

    The place looks a little sketchy, but it's actually quite good! Check it out, have the torta. It's a simple, yet authentic menu!

    Had the house special El Pastorcito (pastor, chorizo, steak, bacon, onions, peppers and cheese) Flavor was delicious. Coming from So Cal, I wasn't sure what kind of Mexican to expect in Indianapolis, but this was better than some of the places back home!

    If you like authentic Mexican and don't mind a small language barrier this place is great! Queso was a little thin, but food was fresh and delicious!

    Been here a couple times. Once with a large group of friends and the service was horrible, the food was just plain disgusting and the chips were stale. The female server we had was rude and very disrespectful, was rushing us to place our orders and couldn't give an opinion when asked to give suggestions. She mumbled complaints numerous times when we would ask her for something and she even had the nerve to give is some horrible looks like we were an inconvenience to her. The food was brought out to some of the people at our table and the rest took so long to come out that the food at the table was already cold. Second time around was almost the same except I went with just a couple of friends who rave about this place and convinced me to try it again. Although, the service wasn't half as bad as the first time the food was still horrible and takes long to get to the table, again only one of us got our order and the rest came later when the the food that was brought out first was cold already. Poor service, horrible food, I'm amazed how they have so many establishments, but then again it's more of a bar type of joint than a taqueria. Both times I was there, there was groups of men just drinking away on one occasion I seen a couple men walk out stumbling. Never again will I come here.

    The Tamale place does not open until 11 on Sunday, their loss. Win goes to El Pastorcita which was OPEN. Simple menu, the usual Mexican foods, tamales, tacos, enchiladas, and caldo. Great for me, I am from El Paso. Pozole was my choice today. Meaty, lots of hominy, great broth, and flavorful. The side of sauces as described in previous reviews. Not to far of the beaten path, near 465. Good service, good music on the jukebox -I like Tejana musica. I felt a bit out of place, confirmed by the looks of others in place. But I will be back. Menudo looked good -next time? Thanks.

    Exactly what I was looking for! I was on the west side with my son and daughter-in-law and wondering where to eat. The reviews on Yelp steered me here. Authentic Mexican. Service could have been faster but we wanted a leisurely meal so it didn't matter. I loved the enchilada rojas. Just enough spice to it to let me know this is the real thing.

    Stopped in for some cantina food while doing the wash around the corner at the Scary Laundromat. Just what the doctor ordered: menudo, tacos, tamales, beans & rice, Negra Modelo -- everything a body could wish for. Language barrier no problem. Hoping those murderous looks from the locals were due to the behavior of my mother-in-law, who means well but doesn't blend in, if you know what I mean.

    Tasty morsels. Friendly service. Authentic. Affordable for any budget. My partner and I decided to venture outside of our typical Mexican food comfort zone yesterday at lunch, and this place was no disappointment. It is by far the most authentic Mexican restaurant we have ever visited in Indianapolis. The service is a little slower than other places, but I will accept that in return for the friendly smile and delicious food we were served. Knowing a little Spanish will probably spark a conversation with your waitress, but isn't necessary. Not your typical "chips and salsa". Instead, customers are served a green sauce, orange-ish sauce, and a pickled assortment of veggies with chips. DELISH. The queso is a little thin, but tastes great nonetheless. Make sure you get some guacamole. It's AMAZING!

    Fabulous and very authentic. Service is always very personable, even when there is a language barrier to overcome. Prices are super reasonable and the food is outstanding! They also serve Mexican Coke by the bottle which is great. I love all the varieties of tacos, although I'll warn the gringos that the goat meat is prepared very authentically and will probably have more fat and connective tissue than you are used to eating. It was still good. The Tortas are good and the refried beans are the best in the city.

    Wonderful authentic restaurant. Tacos were wonderful. My son loved the rice drink. Very reasonable prices. Server was very attentive. I think you would have to be looking for it. Located in a strip mall in between a liquor store and laundromat.

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.
