Pipian Verde. Need I say more!? This is our favorite Mexican place!! Everything was so well done and service was spot on... They have 8-10 house specialties , which are excellent. Most Mexican places the entire menu are specials of the house. This place is the best!! The drinks are great too!!! Food is unparalleled, I cannot think of another Mexican place even close to the food! read more

Overall, the food was pretty good...even though the food was decent...I will say the service was amazing and quick. The Scene... When you walk in, you are greeted with a vibrant color and decor scene. There is a good mix of boughs and tables. The staff Our waitress was super friendly and patient. The other staff members we encountered were just as nice and patient. Food I ordered the steak and chorizo burrito. I found it to have the right blend of chorizo and steak... may have germ a little heavy on the rice compared to meat portions but not by much. I would order again Pricing... Food was slightly pricier than exiscted however, when reflecting on current meat prices...I can understand. Overall, I would go back and would urge you to check them out! read more

Bugambilias Mexican Cuisine - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This is a good place to have some authentic Mexican food (mole anyone?). Fear not, gringos, as they also have a traditional Tex-Mex menu. My one issue is that it is a bit pricey. And they nickel and dime you on everything. Example: You have to pay for additional chips and salsa after the first basket/dish. read more

I came here with a friend on a Sunday evening. I was craving guacamole, and my friend wanted a burrito. We both ordered burritos and guacamole and chips to share. The salsa was really good, and so were the chips. The chips were fresh and the salsa had a little bit of spice. It was smooth and flavorful. Guacamole was excellent! We both thought it was some of the best we had ever had. My burrito was the Steve burrito, which was vegetarian. It was very good and very large! I took more than half home in a box. Our server was very pleasant and efficient. The dining room was attractive and a relaxing environment. There are unique menu items and we plan to return to try them. read more

I really enjoy the food at Bugambilias and love their frozen margaritas. They are on the sweeter side, but still delicious. This last visit, we were seated right away with no wait, which was great. One thing to note: be sure to check your check. My friend was charged for every topping she asked for, and I was charged incorrectly for my meal. Service can be a bit hit or miss, but overall the food and frozen margs keeps me coming back. read more

I ordered the carne asada and it was delicious! Great flavor, especially paired with their red hot sauce. The restaurant is cute and clearly family-run, which gives it a warm, welcoming vibe. We stopped in while craving Mexican food and were really glad we did. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the place was clean overall. The tables are a bit close together, so you can hear nearby conversations, but it didn't take away from the great experience. read more

We arrived around 4:40pm on Saturday afternoon and had to wait approximately 5-10 mins to be seated. We later realized that this was because they only had one server on duty. She came over immediately to get our drink orders and I used the Yelp deal that I received after checking in - a free order of queso (small). Thank goodness I did because once she dropped off the drinks and queso, she didn't circle back until the queso was literally gone. Then we ordered. I ordered guacamole to hold us over until the food came. The only other member of staff who was present, a gentleman, cleared tables and ran food but I felt that he could've helped more. The guacamole was bland. It lacked salt, acid... and flavor overall. The strawberry margarita was good and tasted really fresh. Order the large because I gulped the small rather quickly. I ordered another! Pause- the floor under the table was sooo sticky! Gross! The food came and it was giving everything that it was supposed to give. I requested the addition of Oaxaca cheese, lettuce and sour cream to my asada taco (don't come for me), but I only received the cheese. It was fine. There was plenty of both served alongside my enchiladas. The waitress jokingly corrected my pronunciation of the word "oaxaca". Maybe that's what was taking so long. She was too busy tutoring everyone on their Spanish and not hustling to do the work of several servers! But I digress. The food was good. I would return to give them another chance to win me over with their service and cleanliness being improved. read more

Tucked away in a strip mall, it was a little hard to find...but worth the effort. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. The salsa and chips are fresh and homemade, and we ate every bit of it, plus our combo fajitas. The spicy pineapple margarita was just the right amount of spice for me. I would've liked more tajin on the rim, but I know that's often wasted on others. A little pricey, but overall a good experience and we'd return when in the area. read more

After a recent Yelp event served up a taco bar created by Bugambilia's Mexican Cuisine, I promised myself that I would return to this Castleton restaurant in the near future so that I could write a proper review. Wowsers. A weaving together of Mexican and Poblano cuisine, Bugambilia's exists in this fairly non-descript strip center on the backside of Castleton Square a few storefronts down from where Outback Steakhouse used to be. Once inside? Bugambilia's is anything but nondescript. The interior decor is festive without being gaudy. It's somehow warm and welcoming amidst the decorative madness. The server, whose name I spaced, was a delight from beginning to end. The menu is diverse with most of the familiars and quite possibly a few items that will be new to you. There's a kids' menu that includes a couple traditional American items - a cheeseburger and chicken nuggets - because kids will be kids. I ordered a quesadilla poblana. It was, quite honestly, a bit outside the box as someone who eats rather generically thanks to a somewhat fragile digestive system. However, this was an absolute delight and I'm practically licking my lips even right now as I write this review. The atmosphere is largely accessible and the tables are easily made accessible. There are curb cuts along the building, though it is an older strip center and I won't say the ramps are stellar. They're not, but they work and I had no issue with them. While it's possible to eat affordably here, the general price range is going to be in the mid-teens to low $20 range. Chips and Salsa? Impeccable. Main meal? Delightful. Drink. Refilled without asking. Bugambilia's also has a variety of options outside of dining in including a food truck, carry out, online ordering, delivery, and they also offer a loyalty club. I will admit that on occasion I'm a bit disappointed when I revisit a business from a Yelp event. This is definitely not the case here. This was a great experience from beginning to end. There's no question I'll be back. read more

After seeing all the good ratings, we had to give this place a try while doing some shopping on the north side. I have to say - it was really good! I don't know what they do to their refried beans (because at most places they just taste kind of bland), but they have this flavor that is so tasty. The classic chicken enchiladas had great flavor and were very filling. My husband had the beef mixiote, which was incredible. Also, if you want to spice it up, ask for their spicy hot sauce! Excellent service, good atmosphere- can't wait to come back. read more

We had dinner at Bugambillas while visiting Indy. The guacamole was great. The tacos were great. And the service was awesome too. We had a quick meal on our last night in town. This is out of the way from the main streets but a quick and great spot. read more

Our group of ten came to Bugambilias for dinner after Game Show Battle Rooms two doors down (highly recommend). Luckily, they were able to accommodate our large group at 6pm on a Saturday night. Pros: - Complimentary chips and salsa (everyone had their own personal salsa dish) - Delicious fajita quesadilla -- a quesadilla with fajita veggies + chicken - Good margaritas Cons: - The folks who got arroz con pollo all thought it was just okay/a bit bland - Didn't receive napkins/silverware until our entrees were delivered - A few small mix-ups with the bills as we were five separate checks Overall, this surpassed my expectations and I'd go again! read more

Service was very good. Beer was cold. Chips- awful- very thin, super easy to break and had heavy grease taste. Guacamole just so-so- not much seasoning and the shrimp tacos- a little better than average. Overall- 6 out of 10 read more

This place is fantastic! After running my kid ragged at Smiley, we were looking for a place to refuel and I'm very happy we chose Bugambilias. Your meal starts with hot, fresh chips and flavorful salsa. Want a margarita? Theirs are exceptional. I got steak fajitas and they were fantastic. Our server was awesome and he brought both salsa diabla and verde. I love spice, but the diabla was a shade too hot for my taste, so I throttled back to verde. If you're looking for authentic, fresh, and flavorful Mexican food, this place is aces. (Oh, and they even have dino-shaped chicken nuggets and French fries in case you have a picky eater like we did.) What an awesome experience! read more

Well, I am going to start with saying this ! This is true authentic Mexican food. I tried the mixiote and I was not disappointed by the how tasty it was. Great flavor and the meat was tender and very savory. We also tried el camarones cóctel and it was great. Service is great and atmosphere is not loud at all. Overall a good experience. ... again if you are looking for an authentic Mexican food Bugambilias is the place for it read more

This is for the Bugambilias food truck. The truck was parked in the Deviant Brewing lot on the corner of Michigan Road and 96th street. I was looking for a light snack and there was the brightly colored Bugambilias Food truck. I had never heard of Bugambilias before. The clerks in the truck were super friendly. The truck menu is limited to tacos, tortas and quesadillas. I ordered the Quesadilla Poblano, which was made with lime-marinated pork and lots of cheese. My meal took about 12 minutes to make because they do make them fresh. The quesadilla was excellent. The pork was flavorful and moist. The salsa also tasted fresh with great spice. I haven't eaten at a food truck in a while. I did think that the quesadilla was a bit overpriced, my bill came to $16 before tip. read more

Food was ok nothing special. Service was good. Ambiance typical Mexican restaurant.Didn't like the salsa

This was my first time visiting Bugambilias, and it was delicious!!! The staff was incredibly friendly and personable and the ambience was nice and felt authentic. The margaritas were delicious and the food was perfect! The grilled fajita chicken is absolutely amazing! Our party had the fajita chicken in various dishes (nachos, salad, arroz con pollo) and all were prepared to perfection! The restaurant is on the smaller side and it definitely picked up and was packed by early dinner hours! So get there early! We will definitely be back! read more

This is a recommended place for Mexican food, and I could see why. The ambiance inside is lively, and their menu options are vast. I appreciate their dedicated vegetarian options and how they were open to customizing other menu items to make them vegetarian too. Food was okay, a bit standard, nothing special. Employees were friendly and food was on time as promised, for online ordering and pick-up. read more

I love the name, as it's my favorite flower in Mexico! A friend of mine and I came in for lunch one day. I tried three different kinds of tacos and I was impressed. Usually places like this don't make very good tacos, but these were pretty flavorful. They also had some homemade hot salsas that I loved. The service was good and if you check-in on Yelp you can receive a free queso or elote dip. read more

Trust the positive reviews! Bugambilias is definitely worth a visit! Service on a Saturday night was fast and the waiters there were on top of everything and very gracious! They even changed the channel for us so we could watch the playoff game! I came with a party of four. I ordered barria tacos, another person ordered steak tacos, husband ordered steak fajitas and finally the chicken verse with a local Verde/peanut sauce. The tortillas were awesome. Clearly made in house. The barirra tacos were loaded with meat! The consume was very flavorful! The bone in chicken in sauce was very good. I definitely recommend this Mexican restaurant. I felt appreciated as a guest and the food was amazing!!! read more

Salsa tastes strange, service was slow and we got 41$ in one dollar bills back.. Ambiance is cute but it wasn't busy so I'm unsure how we spent 2+ hours there. Had to ask for refills, had to wait for the change in dollar bills. Rice and beans tasted like nothing. There's thousands of restaurants in the Indianapolis area, pick somewhere else read more

This is probably my favorite spot for authentic Mexican food in the area. They start you off with some chips and salsa. I love their salsa as it's not super chunky and is packed with flavor. It's always so hard to decide on what to order, but this time I tried their enchiladas. They were delicious, and I love that they are served with rice and beans. Also, please look at the enchilada sauce, it was delicious!! Our server did a fantastic job. He was attentive and friendly. read more

We came in based on the yelp reviews. This restaurant is tucked into a small strip mall and located right beside the outback steakhouse. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in the door and quickly seated. Our server told us there were drink specials on the margaritas, so that is what we had. My husband had a house margarita on the rocks and I went with a frozen strawberry margarita. Both were very tasty. I ordered the arroz con Pollo and my husband had the Carne Asada. Since we checked in on yelp, we were given a free, small, queso dip. The chips were strong, and the queso was wonderful. Our portion sizes were large, and we both enjoyed our dinners. We were checked on by multiple servers many times. They were just so very friendly here. I will definitely look forward to coming back. read more

This place was awesome. Very clean. People are very friendly. Would highly recommend this to anybody good vibes. Good time.

ONE OF THE BEST TACO PLACES IN INDY. I am never disappointed when I come here. I ordered a large order for 20 people on a Saturday night, and I had absolutely no hiccups. Order was ready in 40 mins. All tacos separated and labeled. They even threw two extra tacos in, probably cause I ordered so much lol. Do yourself a favor, and come here for a meal. You'll thank me later. read more

The Mexican food was awesome!!! The surface was awesome too!!! You need to go!!! Amazing service!!!

The restaurant was warm and inviting. I was greeted and taken to a table. Others brought chips and salsa and drinks. The chips were a little bland or stale and salsa was basic at best. I ordered the mixed fajitas. They were flavorful and a good value. read more

I saw an add for Bugambilias and decided to try it out. They're located in a strip mall just off of 86th Street near Costco. The restaurant isn't big or super fancy. The service however was really great. There was only one employee waiting tables in the dining room and the place wasn't packed but it was at least half full. The server did an excellent job taking care of everyone. The chips and salsa were good. I had chorizo con papas tacos and my boyfriend had the carne asada. He ordered a beer and I had a pineapple margarita. Everything was fresh and felt very made to order. Would definitely go back here again! read more

Great food and pleasant atmosphere. Our server was kind and attentive, will gladly return.

The restaurant has been on my list of places to try in Indianapolis. However, yesterday our experience with their food truck at the Saraga International Food Festival has removed them from my list. It was a hot sunny day and we bought food and drink from multiple vendors. We sat down to eat (because I'm in a boot) and were rudely told to sit somewhere else halfway through our meal because we hadn't bought anything from them (yet). There were no signs in English or Spanish saying that it was customer seating only. There were tons of delicious food options at the festival, and they may have made our list, but how they treat people (service) with both visible or invisible disabilities shows me I should spend my money somewhere else - and we did. Such a disappointing experience and we haven't even tried their food yet and won't. read more

I learned about this woman-owned restaurant on the Indy Local Foodies Facebook group and it is the best Mexican food I've had in Indianapolis and one of the best Mexican restaurants I've eaten at in the United States (And I live in California!). Cute restaurant in strip mall in Castleton. Server was extremely friendly and helped explain some of the unique dishes from Puebla, which are featured and specialties of the house (they also have tacos and Tex Mex). I ordered the Enchiladas Poblanas with Pipian Verde and it was divine. Savory tomatillo, pumpkin and peanut based sauce smothered all over perfectly prepared enchiladas. Next time I want to try the spaghetti!! I also asked for house made hot sauce and she brought me two. Both were so good and the habanero/serrano hot sauce was mindblowingly good. It's hard to find spicy food here in Indy so the fact it brought tears to my eyes made me very happy. Margaritas are great, too. Fresh squeezed juices and good tequila. The Mezcal margarita is also good, but I like the classic margaritas better. If I lived here I'd be eating here regularly. Thank you Bugambilias for such a wonderful experience. read more
