    The place was not busy at all. I am sure this is for the location placement. I got a burrito, enchilada and tamale combo. Tamale was incredible. I did not care for the ground beef used in the burrito or enchilada. My beautiful bride got the arros con polo. She ordered it well done. Well it was awesome. You need to get this. Seventy six thumbs up and a snap.

    Definitely a solid 3 stars. This is your average Midwestern Mexican restaurant...you can find places just like this all over Indiana. Nothing overly authentic here, although they did have horchata and a couple kinds of tacos that seemed mildly interesting. We sampled a variety of enchiladas, but I'll just list elements of them and other things we had: -Salsa was good. -Tomatillo sauce was good. -Red sauce for enchiladas was ok. -Rice was decent. -Beans were not good. They tasted off. -Cheese sauce for enchiladas was not good. They use the same runny cheese to top enchiladas and within the cheese enchiladas. Kinda felt like they were cutting corners here, basically using cheese dip in the enchiladas. -Carnitas enchiladas were good. I'd get these over any enchiladas with cheese in them. -Horchata wasn't good. My dad said it tasted weak. Overall, not too shabby but not great. It was about what I was expecting for a Mexican place in Arcadia, Indiana. Service wasn't overly jovial, but adequate. We might be back in a pinch but it's not somewhere I'd seek out.

    Wife and I tried this place after Mass on a Saturday evening. It's across the street from the…read moreBoathouse near the bridge in Cicero. Parking is behind the restaurant as they have outdoor dining set up on a front patio, although there had been rain on the day we came so the patio wasn't being used. It's not the cleanest looking restaurant on the inside, but it's fine. We were seated immediately upon entering into one of the many booths they have, promptly were asked for our drink order, followed by a basket of chips and salsa being brought to the table, and then placed our order when the server brought our drinks. All of this took place inside of probably 2 minutes. Although not every table was filled, there were a number of folks who were already there as well as entered when we did, so the service was not lacking. The chips were sort of the standard chip for a restaurant like this, a decent crunch and not much flavor. The salsa was more on the runny side as opposed to the chunky that we prefer, but it did have a good flavor and just the right amount of spice to it for a little kick without being too much. Not that it was an issue for us, but they do indicate on their menu that the first 2 baskets and salsas are complimentary, but cost $1.99 for additional orders beyond that. In my opinion, that actually seems pretty reasonable all considered. We decided to split an item listed as "new" on their menu, Seafood Fajita ($16.99). Like the rest of our experience, our meal arrived pretty soon after we order it. All of their fajita orders include a plate of refried beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, guac, pico and 3 corn or flour tortillas. Along with the usual peppers, onions, and tomatoes, our choice included scallops, shrimp, crab, and a piece of tilapia, and they didn't skimp on the quantity. I know ordering seafood can be dicey at places like this, but everything seemed to be legit and tasted pretty good. We were both filled and agreed that we would order it again. Even though we did like what we got, their menu seems to have a decent bit of other offerings that I would be interested to try as well. Bottom line, it was a very efficient meal that we both enjoyed and was priced reasonably. When the weather is more dependable, I'm sure dining on the patio would be a nice experience for a view of the reservoir and bridge as well as the general car and pedestrian traffic along the main drag.

    Nothing to write home about as far as Mexican or TexMex, but good enough for the suburbs of…read moreIndianapolis. We had a few basic items from here as far as mains, and they were good enough. The guacamole, meanwhile, was most likely out of a can, or at least tasted like that. And the cheese dip was as basic as you can get. So, stick with basic foods that every Mexican Restaurant serves, and skip the starters, and you should be okay here.
