It's no surprise that Bae Latin Food is on the Best Fast Food list for Indiana. I took my granddaughter yesterday to celebrate end of school year. She's sometimes a picky eater, but she dug in to the two plates that we ordered and went back for seconds and thirds. The menu is complex (to me) with the mix of South and Central American bowls, sandwiches and burritos. We ordered two bowls to share (the bows are enormous)! The Venezuelan Chicken Bowl is a favorite of ours with the fried plantains. The chicken is tender with a ton of flavor, and not overly spicy. You just can't find these flavors anywhere else. The Mexican Bowl was also delicious with the fresh pico and avocado. The kidney beans taste amazingly fresh. The beef is delicious. We took home plenty of leftovers. The service is friendly and food comes out hot and quickly. The small dining room is upscale fast food and there is a patio with tables. I highly recommend a visit. I'm hooked! read more

This place is located off River Road and E 146 street in the corner of the plaza next to Lavie NAILS. Comfortable casual eatery with quick service. Been here twice. My first visit on December 2020 and second visit in June 2021. This was my first try for Venezuelan food. I ordered the Peruvian Arepas (grilled shrimp, avocado and pink sauce). It was so delicious and flavorful that I ordered the same thing on my second visit. LOL! Additionally, I also ordered plantains with cheese and plain plantains. It was ok. It wasn't sweet like I had expected. It was a little dry as well. I still ate them. Upon my second visit, I ate my food outside as the day was warm, sunny and perfect! Overall I had a great experience. The employees were nice and friendly. read more

Went for an elite event but also got an order of the Cuban bowl on my own. Good flavors and although I questioned the portion size thinking it wasn't that big. It was definitely filling. The plaza is pretty dead so lots of open parking. Hope they get more business cause the food is good, filling, and fast. I will definitely try some more of their menu again. read more

Tried Bae Latin Food at a Yelp event last week--loved it so much I ordered it again a week later! The Cuban bowl is incredible--generous portions of rice, beans, meat, plantains, and yuca fries for just $15. It's easily two meals! Each of the sauces that come with the meals are delicious too. I would purchase a bottle of the Bae sauce, if they sold it. We ordered via DoorDash, so I can't speak to the service or ambiance, but I'll definitely be ordering again. This place is officially in our regular rotation! read more

If you like Venezuelan food, or want to give it a try, head to Bae Latin. Dishes we tried: -Tequeños: a traditional Venezuelan appetizer of fried cheese sticks wrapped in a crispy pastry dough. -Plantains: caramelized so that the natural sweetness comes through and topped with cheese -Yuca Fries: I'm obsessed with these! Root veggies, similar to French fries but with a better crunch due to the thickness of the cut and frying technique. -Steak tacos: piled high with toppings like avocado and cheese and served in a flour tortilla. I prefer corn tortillas and not sure I'd order these again because of my own preferences. I'm game to try the chicken tacos There are also arepas and rice bowls that look really good! I didn't try them this visit, but would try them on another. read more

What a great little spot on the corner! Bae is located in the same little strip and shares a parking lot with my old kickboxing studio - now an F45. I love that they have plenty of parking and the space is bright and clean. We got the Taquenos to eat there and then I took the Vegan bowl home for me and the Argentinian arepa home for the hubs. I dug in to the fried yucca and plantains that topped my vegan bowl as soon as I got home and they were FIRE. SO GOOD. The next day I heated up the beans and rice and they made the perfect left over lunch. Hubs raved about his sandy. We will go back to try all of the goods offered as they are plenty! There was only one gentleman working when we went at 330 on a Wednesday, but the food was totally worth the short wait. I don't know what is in their secret Bae sauce, but it was tasty! We can't wait to get back and try more of their offerings! read more

they had a small line when I arrived however they were able to take my order and have it ready for me in a matter of minutes. Great customer service and the food is excellent too. I highly recommend this restaurant when you're in the area. read more

This place has a large menu of diverse food. Cashier was friendly. Place was clean. I opted for the BAE Philly Steak with fries and it was awesome. I got it to go and they packed everything up nicely. When I opened the bag at home, I saw I also got a bunch of different sauces to go with my meal which was great! The sandwich was big and smelled as good as it tasted! This my first first visit here, but won't be my last! read more

This is a great little fast food restaurant that we didn't know anything about if it weren't for yelp. Glad we stopped in and gave it a try. The food is very flavorful and the sauces that are served with the food are delicious. It's counter service and definitely a fast food environment as far as the decor. We stopped in on a Saturday at lunchtime, so it was perfect for us. read more

I've visited Bae Latin food on multiple occasions, and am always thoroughly impressed. The menu is large and has quite a few offerings, but is easy to understand. When you go in, there is a screen you place your order through, but there is also staff available to help you place your order. Service is always great, and you can see them cooking your food right there! The flavors are always incredible- from the seasonings that are used, to the yucca fries, and the multiple sauce options (green is my favorite)! We got our food to go at our most recent visit, and it was packaged perfectly to protect the food and keep everything nice and warm. Bae Latin food is definitely somewhere to try if you're looking for some different flavors! read more

This is such a good find in central Carmel! I loved my Caribbean bowl which had such good flavors and was the most filling lunch I had. What stood out was the outstanding flavor of shrimp, with plain yucca & sweet plantain which was such a good mix. The hearty flavors added such a refreshing texture and touch to my lunch. We went rather late for lunch and we had the whole place to ourselves with the server helping us get what we needed. The menu is massive so you have good choices, definitely must try in Indy! read more

Amazing. Decided to try omw home from work, food stayed warm for a 30 minute drive and it was so good I decided to go back the next day haha. So far Ive only tried the arepas.

Our Matters of Taste group came to Bae Latin Food for dinner tonight to try it out to see what the hoopla was all about. Everyone I have talked to has spoken very highly about Bae and now I can see why. Bae Latin Food specializes in Latin Street food, and they have a variety of items from arepitas to tacos, and they have corn pancakes. This is a high quality restaurant that is not like any other fast food restaurants. The ambiance is very nice and shows Latin history all over the walls along with decorative signage and attractive colors. When you arrive, you look at the menu above to see what you want and then you go to the monitor on the counter to place your order. It is like a kiosk, but this is a huge monitor. Once you place your order and submit your payment, you will get a text message on your cell phone saying your order is ready. If you order a drink, you go pick up a cup from the soda fountain and get your drink, or a cup of water. I would say my order was ready within 5-10 minutes, and the cook brought it to my table. I ordered the Caribbean bowl and the chicken tacos. Both were very fresh and tasted incredible! The texture of the grilled shrimp and fried yucca were fantastic! The fried Plantains were delicious! The chicken tacos are huge portions and the presentation is great! Both dishes were served with a selection of dipping sauces that were very good, but I honestly couldn't tell you what they were. For Latin Food, I was very impressed. The lack of interaction with the staff was unusual and different, but I can understand why it is set up that way. The staff was very professional and helpful when we needed something, and they did take good care of us while at the restaurant, so we were very pleased! I would come here again or get food to go, because the food is simply delightful and fresh! You definitely get your money's worth! I'm glad I can check this off of my list of places to eat. Come to Bae Latin Food for excellent street food! You can thank me later. read more

Disclaimer: I've spent a lot of time in Florida and lived there for a majority of my time on Yelp this past eleven years. I love Latin food. I have a husband who is from Costa Rica. Am I the authority on Latin food? No. Anyways I do know authentic when I taste it and this was pretty authentic! The menu is not small appetite friendly that I saw. You walk in and order from an ipad. At first I was just going to share my husband's bowl with him and get a side order for myself. Then I saw these chicken tacos and I changed my mind. I wonder if somehow they're available ala carte because after one I could not eat another bite. Hence the minus a star because an option for different appetite sizes is so huge for me. The service was fine. My husband and the guy working both seemed to appreciate being able to communicate in Spanish to each other which I think is the most wholesome thing. Loved that. My taco was amazing. It's not a Mexican tasting taco but it does taste like all of the tacos I got in Tampa from Spanish restaurants and I loved it. Fresh avocado. Delicious sauce options on the side. The chicken was delicious which is hit or miss sometimes. My husband's tostone looked bomb but he ate it before I could get a bite. The audacity. The outdoor seating was perfect. They also have Cornhole if you feel like doing that! It's a casual spot so no worries about dressing up or down. We will be back since we are trying out a new church behind it. I'm excited to find new things to try that remind me of home. read more

I've drove by here many times and finally stopped in on my home from work, and I'm glad I did! I ordered the chicken Parilla and it was delicious. The chicken had amazing flavor and all the sauces they brought out were delicious as well, I divided by bowl into sections so I could have a little of all the sauces! So good! I can't wait to go back and try their Bae bowls. This is a counter service restaurant and everything is made to order so you know your food will be hot and fresh. The people working are so friendly and glad to answer any questions you have about the menu, but it really is self explanatory. Every item has a description of what the dish is so you know exactly what you are ordering. read more

Incredibly delicious!! Clean, safe, friendly, wonderful! I placed an in person takeout order of the Venezuelan Bae Bowl. It is black beans, white rice, sweet plantains, and either chicken or beef. I forgot to specify chicken--and accidentally got beef instead--but I was so happy with what I got! I got a generous serving of perfectly seasoned, tender shredded beef with my rice and cheese topped black beans. There is a side sauce that, used sparingly, nicely compliments the flavor. I loved the food, and my server Michel was helpful, polite, and welcoming. I will be back! read more

Bae Latin Food - "The Venezuelan" Bae Bowl with Beef - Venezuelan Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

What a unique place! Bae Latin Food is located in a quiet shopping area in Carmel and brings a unique fusion of South American inspired dishes to the city. I had the Venezuelan bowl with a side of yucca fries and it was delicious. Not only does it come with fried plantains, which I haven't seen at a restaurant concept like this, but you can add several delicious sauces to elevate the dish even more. There is something for everyone on the menu, however if you are looking for lots of spice, you won't find that here. Everything is subtle, so I recommend adding the sauce if you want to take it up a notch. Great conversations with the owner and employees and I think they have a bright future. Make sure you visit this local up and coming hot spot! I can't wait to go back to try something different. read more

Yum! I'd heard wonderful things about Bae Latin Food from fellow Yelpers and finally had the chance to check it out. I ordered carry-out and felt safe the entire time. The two staff members present were wearing masks and there was no one else in the restaurant while I waited for my food. In the future, I might order and pay online for a speedier pickup. I opted for the Venezuelan bowl with rice, black beans, chicken and cheese. It was yummy and easily stretched to two meals for me. However, I did find it a little salty and needing more flavor. Maybe that's because I've been eating at home a lot this past year, and my palette has changed...Loved the addition of the sweet plantains, though! My boyfriend got the Cuban bowl which came with yuca fries. Definitely order those as a side! Great, slightly sweet alternative to French fries. The bowls are reasonably priced and very filling. I look forward to trying the Arepas and more yuca fries next time! read more

Thank you for bringing Venezuelan and Latin culture and cuisine to the north side of Indy! Bae Latin opened just two days before shelter-in-place orders were put in place. TWO DAYS. I feel for them and am so delighted that through it all, they've managed to become a beloved food institution and seem to always have people picking up food or eating on their outdoor patio. There was a very wide variety of people dining in, so if you haven't tried this type of food before, don't be scared! You can't go wrong because everything on the menu is delicious. After getting the pleasure to work with the Bae Latin team for a virtual arepa-making class, I couldn't wait to go check it out for myself. Their team is so passionate about making delicious food and it shows in their incredible, five-star-across-the-board Yelp reviews. I was thrilled to see that we could order our food ahead of time on their website. Because there were a few menu items that were new to me, I loved being able to look each item up ahead of time. Here's what we got: Shrimp arepa: Never had an arepa before? It's a Venezuelan and Colombian "sandwich" and is essentially a grilled corn flour patty stuffed fillings of your choice. Bae offers everything from ground beef to chicken, veggies, plantains, beans, cheese or more. I got the shrimp one which came with pink sauce and avocado. It was great! The Argentinian Bowl: This was my absolute favorite. It came with churrasco (grilled beef), grilled chorizo, avocado, salad mix and white rice. I also recommend asking for the green sauce on the side so you can mix it into your bowl. I'm not sure what it was, but it was mild and had amazing flavor. I wished I got extra. Fried Yucca: These are a must as well. Yucca is a plant, and the fries are made from the yucca root. They came with a delicious mayo-based dipping sauce that we absolutely loved. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to try the bombas, pepitos, and tacolanos as well. Y'all rock! read more

What a lovely experience. We drive from downtown just to get carry out from Bae Latin Food for Yelp's Big Night In. We bookmarked this spot a few weeks ago after stumbling upon someone's review on Yelp. Venezuelan, Cuban and Colombian cuisine Unser one roof? Jackpot! Indy's culinary scene could use some more Colombian options especially. The space is well designed with a red, black and white color scheme and easy to read menus overhead. The staff was very friendly upon our entry and the entire experience was very smooth. We ordered the Cuban and Venezuelan bowls and a side order of the tostones. All were delicious. The only thing that seemed to be missing was a little more juiciness or a sauce to accompany the bowls. Is it too much to hope for some pan de queso or ajiaco soup on the menu one day? Just dreaming over here. Can't wait to return- congrats to this new business! read more

Excellent food and customer service. The bowls are delicious and filling. I recommend!

Always looking for amazingly authentic food, and Bae hits this on the mark. I've been very impressed with the newly opened Venezuelan restaurants and Bar is a great contender! If you're looking for an authentic Latin breakfast, lunch, or dinner- Bae is the place for you. My only complaint is I wish there was one closer to the southeast side. The chicken on the arepa had a delicious marinade and the cheese has a wonderful authentic flavor. The arepa itself is thick and crunchy and a taste of home. As for the Colombian bowl, my initial response was that the beans were delectably sweet and when mixed with the egg yolk it added a salty savory element. The ground beef was well seasoned and the rice was steaming. The portion sizes are generous and well worth the cost. We ordered to go, but there is plenty of space for dining. Go get your fill, you won't regret it! read more

When I want something different I like Bae Latin. I ordered the Shrimp Parrilla and Tostones. You can eat in the restaurant, but I opted carryout. The parrilla was delicious, shredded cabbage, grilled shrimp, cheese and a dressing. It seems like it's healthy, and I'll go with that. The tostones I ordered by mistake :-). I intended to order tequeños, just typing now made my mouth water. I got distracted by an order being placed one of tables and I ordered tostones!! I have never had them but they were a pleasant surprise, traditionally twice fried plantains. They provided two dipping sauces. I couldn't call it sweet, I'm not sure how to describe it; but I really liked them. read more

So delicious!!! I love arepas and these did not disappoint. I got the classic order of an arepa with yuca fries. Everything was made fresh to order and served hot. The Venezuelan has shredded beef, black beans, cheese and plantains. It has so much flavor and the portion size was quite big. I couldn't finish it because I was also eating the crispy yuca fries. The yuca fries were the right amount for 2 people to share. The best part was the different dipping sauce options. They had parsley, garlic, ketchup/Mayo and a secret sauce. The garlic and house secret sauce were my favorite. I couldn't put my finger on what was in the house sauce but it had a sweet after taste. Highly recommend checking out bae if you're looking to switch up the cuisine. Perfect for take out or dine in. read more
