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.

I actually had a great little lunch here. I hate to say "typical Mexican restaurant", but as I've experienced, there's two types of "typical": decent food, and "crappy, one step above Taco Bell" food. Thankfully, this place was the former. The service wasn't bad. The decor is a little dated, but that's OK. I'm not sure I'd drive across the city to eat here, but if you're anywhere close and in the mood for tasty, fresh, Mexican fare, you could do considerably worse.

My favorite Mexican place in the Indy area! Even though our favorite server is no longer there, we still enjoy the great food and awesome staff!

Oh my gawd.. The good absolutely the worse. EVER in all of Indiana. The tortillas are made with sugar eww. I am completely surprised they are still in business with lousy food and higher than average for holes in wall mom and pop shops.

Not impressed. Got the fajitas and the quality and freshness was just lacking. The steak was salty as f@#k. The queso was very watery and bland. And something about the way the salsa comes out in these weird little bottles just didn't sit right with me. Been to many other Mexican joints that were WAY better than this place.

I live very close so ive been here many times over the years. I love it here. The queso is great, the Chile relleno is delicious and the fajita quesadilla is my all time favorite!

Typical kit restaurant, same menu as LaHa, Cancun, etc. These types of places are ok in a pinch, but I prefer something more authentic. I've been here a couple times with my Mom before we go bowling and will probably return due to proximity.. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable.

Pretty much exactly what you would expect. The food is relatively cheap and the food arrives quickly. Would I recommend this for a date night? No way. More of a, I really need to be in and out for lunch, kind of place. No real complaints other than lack of attention for service.

Typical Mexican restaurant. Tends to be on the greasy side. Tastes like pretty much every other Indy-area Mexican place. Going to cost you close to $10 for a meal with a drink. The decor is starting to get a little dated. Generally clean and the servers are friendly. It's fine, nothing great.

Staff was friendly and that is why I give it one star. As a Mexican-American from Chicagoland area, the food is strange? I think they use pink slim for their beef dishes. If you like that then I am sorry for downing this establishment. I decided to try their steak fajitas for more money and very disappointed, they use a cheaper cut of meat like beaf stew. Fajitas should always be made with skirt steak, but not this place since they are making money by selling cheaper cut of meat for the more expensive arrachera. The next biggest problem was everything was expensive, the food they are serving should be cheaper. I will have to add that Taco Bell is much better than this place. I should have ran when I asked them for rice water and the waiter said they did not have any. I then asked for a Jarrito and they did not have any. What restuarant does not have these beverages and calls its food Mexican cuisine. Embarrasing.

I have eaten here for years. The portion sizes have gone down over the years and the prices have slowly creeped up. Its food quality is good and the service is consistent, I just wish they could turn the clock back a few years and then I would give a 4 or 5 star rating.

Amazing pitchers a plus. But really small meal portions. Staff is always friendly and entertaining.
