After dinner at The Dining Room at RH, we were looking for a place to go for a night cap. Specially a place within a mile or two that has a full bar. Naturally, I pulled up the Yelp app to search for something open nearby for recommendations. Turns out Delicia is one of my friend's boyfriend's favorite restaurant in Broad Ripple. They both frequent the restaurants in that area as they live in the neighborhood so that's definitely saying something and I can see why based on the vibe and atmosphere! We were only there for drinks (which were amazing) and they were definitely worth making another trip for. I ordered the "Pulparindo" which is slightly spicy tamarind vodka, fresh mango puree, raw sugar simple, lime juice and a yummy tajin rim. I would have had more of it wasn't last call when we placed our order. Another popular choice was the "FIRE 'N' Ice" made with el charro jalapeño infused reposado tequila, hibiscus I basil I habanero reduction, tres chiles infused ice ball. Beautiful presentation with all the drinks. Our waitress was great and attentive. I also really liked how I felt instantly in a better mood in that space and I will be going back again for dinner soon. read more

We tried this spot for a birthday celebration on. Sunday evening and we were not disappointed! The restaurant was clean and had a cozy vibe sitting in the large booth with my family. The service was quick and staff were friendly. We LOVED the queso and Johnny Cakes for appetizers. Everyone's meal was delicious and well portioned. The ingredients feel fresh and intentional with every dish. Overall, I wouldn't consider this restaurant a "must try" but a very solid option! If you're in town and looking for a more upscale experience with a Caribbean/Spanish cuisine then I would recommend this spot. read more

Absolutely wonderful place with great ambience, great staff and wonderful food!! We went to celebrate our daughter's birthday and had a memorable experience. Had the Caribbean tuna, carnitas, enchilada and fish tacos. All dishes were delicious, only thing we could have wished for is some more flavor in the fish tacos and maybe some sauce to go with them. A place we will surely go back to try more of their dishes read more

The food is still stellar here. Innovative upscale Latino cuisine. Always spot on. And the portions are fairly generous and the prices remain reasonable. I am a huge fan of their guacamole. It is just always super fresh and so well done, I could eat a bucket of it. As you can see from my photos, I have been here a few times. And the service as well as the food have been exemplary. Haven't had any further problems with the hosts lately, so that warrants a 5 star review. read more

Ambience - inviting, understated, thoughtful design Service - On point! Very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable Food - Fantastic! The menu offers plenty for the foodies but on our visit, even pickier eaters enjoyed their meals. We loved trying the salsa trio and appreciated having a heat level for everyone. I personally loved my curried coconut pescado & wouldn't have minded a stronger curry punch. read more

Delicia is a gorgeous space with gorgeous plates to match. They have a well-curated wine selection along with beer, cocktails, and some great mocktail choices too! Service is friendly and they're happy to make recommendations if desired. The empanadas were crispy with such a yummy savory interior. Will be happy to revisit delicia any time! read more

As soon as I cut into the empanada and heard the crust separate, I knew I was in for a treat. These empanadas might be the most delicious thing I ever put in my mouth. Holy moly. The crust was blessed by angels. The basque cheesecake gets an honorable mention. It does have a unique flavor that might not be for everyone but I found it delightful. My margarita was nothing to write home about but the Colada Rosa was so good. Service was great, gorgeous space. I will definitely make the trek back to B Rip to try some other menu items. read more

I always love coming to Delicia. I like that there are new editions to the menu each month (seasonally), but you can always find some favorites that are menu staples too. Drinks are consistently good here. I love mojitos and love that I can get them freshly made all year round! Our waitress did a fabulous job introducing all kinds f the new menu items and the specials. Our food was amazing! This place is cozy and welcoming! read more

A Desert Dream in the Heart of SoBro! Delicia is a gorgeous gem that is absolutely worthy of your next date night. I spotted them on Resy and was intrigued--it definitely delivered on the "Southwest" vibes. The Atmosphere: The decor is the true standout here. Having lived in the American Southwest, I can tell the designer spared no detail. It holds true to that desert aesthetic while oozing intimacy through low lighting and cozy seating. It's the perfect spot if you're looking for a "mood." The Food Breakdown: * Chips & Guac (5/5 ): Fresh, flavorful, and a must-order. * Salsa Trio (2/5 ): This was a miss for us. We only liked one of the three, so I'd skip the trio next time. * Smoked Brisket & Scallops (3/5 ): A bit of a toss-up. My friend wasn't a fan, but I found the brisket quite tasty and tender. * Birria Short Ribs (3.75/5 ): The flavor was delightful, but the texture was inconsistent. I order short rib specifically for that unctuous, silky, gelatinous breakdown. Half of the portion hit that mark perfectly, but the other half felt more like a standard pot roast. The rest of the dish was satisfyingly tasty! Service & Logistics: Our server was amazing! I wish I'd caught her name, but she was attentive and seamless. (I'm pretty sure it was Taylor.) Return Factor: 65% I'll definitely be back to try some of their other pillar dishes. Note for locals: They have a dedicated parking lot, which is a huge plus for this area of College Ave! read more

I went for their Sunday brunch (9:30am-1:30pm). Wow! The chorizo hash (chorizo, potato, onion, over easy eggs, avocado, sweet plantain, queso fresco, spicy ecuadorian aji chile salsa) was excellent! The server was great; she was friendly and knowledgeable. The whole staff was nice and helpful. The layout of the restaurant is pretty cool too. I liked the layout of the bar. I removed a star though because I asked for hot sauce and they charged me! What?!?!? I've ordered food with hot sauce or sriracha sauce at restaurants all over town and I've never been charged for it. That's like charging someone for adding ketchup to a burger. So that got on my nerves, but other that, it was a great meal and experience. Some of the other reviews talk about Delicia being crowded for dinner, but there was plenty of available seating for a late Sunday brunch. read more

The food was phenomenal honestly. The chicken was perfectly crispy and a huggee portion. The birria short rib was delicious and super flavorful. I'd say the only downside is the restaurant is pretty expensive. Also, FYI the cantina is the back room, which is only open on weekends for overflow. We thought it was the bar in the main area..it's not and they don't let you switch if you made a reservation for a certain area. read more

Picked this place for Mother's Day brunch after reading rave reviews. First look at the menu everything sounded good. The carnitas verde bowl was a favorite, salty cheesy goodness. The breakfast enchilada was also delicious; filled with tender duck and topped with a tomato/habanero sauce that could have used a little more of a spicy kick. The place is made to feel like you are in Spain, bright yet cozy. We sat in the bar area at high tops with a comfy booth side. Only complaint is that it took a very long time to get our meals. However the food was great and worth the wait. Would recommend starting the queso fundido (the couple next to us ordered it and it made us all jealous as we waited hangerly)! read more

Great cocktails and chic decor. Service was fantastic. The food is inventive and delicious. One note is that they serve their ceviche (which was anazing) on guacamole. That's fine but we also ordered guacamole and with our server would suggested an alternative. read more

What a great spot in SoBro! Recently I visited Delicia with some girlfriends. I've been to the restaurant before, but it had been probably 10+ years! Everything was great. Our waitress, Taylor, was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the paloma and the devour specials. I cannot wait to come back for brunch. I highly recommend the salsa flight. The strawberry salsa is so delicious. Everything was so fresh. I have no complaints! Great date night spot or a night out with friends. Very clean and upscale spot. read more

This was my first time at Delicia and wow I am obsessed! First I started out with a spicy mango cocktail. Then we ordered the brussel sprouts and the octopus. Both were quite good, but we joked that we wished that we each had a plate of the brussel sprouts for ourselves! Then I switched to the non-alcoholic Coco No-No which was absolutely delightful. I felt like I could have been dropped into a beach. I did not plan for the portion sizes to be as large as they were so by the time that our entrees came out, I was only able to eat a few bites. The fried chicken, makes you doubt that it is really gluten free because it looks and tastes that good! Our waitress was Liz and she did an exceptional job, especially as the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. As someone who has a gluten allergy, I really appreciated how seriously that Liz and the kitchen staff took allergies and that Delicia's menu was marked up so well. I woke up and I do not have any symptoms of being glutened. I love finding safe places to eat at and I'm so glad that I have another one to add to my list! On a Saturday night the restaurant was louder to start around 7:45PM, but it got more quiet as the night progressed. I could always hear my friend sitting across from me, but I didn't feel like I had to shout or be louder than usual. read more

Brunch at Delicia has been on our Indy to eat list for what feels like years and we finally had a babysitter (but there were kids and babies their so don't let that stop you) and made it! It was worth the wait! This is the most unique brunch I've had in Indy. It was so hard to decide what dishes to get. I love that some options have a half serving like the plantain waffle so that you can even try more. My husband loved his carnitas verde grit bowl. We had lots to take home because the appetizer of queso was HUGE. I loved the decor, our waitress was wonderful, and the food was so good that now we need to try the dinner menu. There is a very small parking lot in front and then more parking in the back or the street parking is free in this area! read more

We loved our first time dining at Delicia! The vibe is great and service was excellent. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and bar, and was super helpful and welcoming. We ordered the ceviche, smoked brisket polenta, coconut curried fish, and basque cheesecake. Honestly, everything was great. The brisket dish is one of the best plates I've ever had. I will say that the ceviche was a bit skimpy on the seafood and heavy on the avocado, not very traditional, but still good. Portion sizes were fair. Our drinks were also very well done. All in all, we were very glad to have come and are excited to come back and try different things. read more

FIRE just expensive :/ GUACAMOLE 6.8/10 (avocado, serrano, garlic, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime, pistachio) - portion too small, super salty chips. SALSA MACHA POLLO 9/10 (crispy fried boneless miller's amish chicken breast, salsa macha, cilantro lime rice, pickled jalapeños & carrots, herb avocado crema) - spectacular. Chicken was the lightest fried chicken ever while being so crispy. Avocado crema was amazing. I'm obsessed, still thinking about this EMPANADAS 8.8/10 (barbacoa beef, chihuahua cheese, puff pastry, creamy habanero sauce, lime crema, herb green rice) - a classic, better to order as an appetizer than entree CARNITAS CON MOLE 8.4/10 (house smoked carnitas, mole poblano, fried plantains, white rice, grilled jalapeno, lime crema, tortilla) - still so so good despite being my least fav entree we got ENCHILADAS DE PATO 8.78/10 (maple leaf farms duck, tomato | habanero sauce, lime crema, chihuahua cheese, herb green rice, stewed black beans) - delicious sauce!!! Big portion, would totally order again. FIRE N' ICE (jalapeño infused reposado tequila, hibiscus | basil | habanero reduction, tres chiles ice ball) SMOKE & STONE (sombra mezcal, fresh mango puree, lightly spiced weber blue agave reposado, lime juice, turbinado simple) read more

This is such a popular restaurant, and my first and second visit were both great. I came here for brunch. I recommend making a reservation on their website (they use Resy) because it gets busy here. I had a coffee and Spanish churro toast. The coffee was good and I liked how it was served in a glass tall mug. The toast was just okay. Mine did not have much cinnamon taste and didn't resemble churros in any way despite the name. But I still liked the tres de leche sauce. Our server was professional and attentive. My check was inaccurate but when I brought that to her attention, she quickly went back and fixed it for me. I'd love to come back here for dinner next time. read more

Came back for dinner! Ok. I liked it a lot! Met a girlfriend for dinner, and ironically sat in the bar area again. I think after going for the second time, I rather sit in the bar as it's just a little more...cozy. We both ordered the same cocktail which was the fire n ice with jalapeño infused tequila, hibiscus, basil and habanero reduction. It was supposed to be "very" spicy but when we got it, it wasn't too spicy and it also seemed as if it was batched. Mostly because the server came back within 30 seconds and the drinks weren't too chilled. The cocktail has so much potential! It tasted good, just did not seem fresh and it wasn't really spicy. We decided to order a bottle of red wine - which we enjoyed! Food: We got the chips and queso with chorizo. Very good. Very cheesy! Chips were also pretty good, with the perfect amount of salt! For my entree I got the birria short ribs which were the star of the show. Would get it again! It came with adobo rice that was also pretty tasty. My friend got the pork belly that she liked a lot as well. The parking in the front is pretty small, but I discovered that there is additional parking in the back! They also have a back door you can enter so you don't have to walk around. read more

Ok, first off I want to say that the service at Delicia was top notch. Some of the best service I have had and I give that five stars. My waitress took the time to tell me a little about the restaurant, menu inspiration and was very attentive. Fantastic experience! The look and vibes are on point too. Upscale without being too fancy. Great seating and decor. On to the food. This was where I give three stars. Maybe it's because I'd seen so many people post that this is one of the best places to eat in Indy and I'd hyped it up in my head but I was a little underwhelmed with my meal. The salsas - great! Especially the strawberry jalapeño. Super unique and the sweet cut through the spicy. I also had a mocktail, which was decent. For my main, I got the barbacoa tamal. After having tamales in Tucson, I have searched for something here that compares and was excited to see one made out of masa on the menu. But it didn't really hit for me. The masa was dry and kind of came off in chunks. The rice had a unique flavor but very small portion size compared to the tamal. I wish it had more heat to it and while the barbacoa was super tender and savory, I just wanted a kick to elevate it. Will I go back? I'm undecided. It's definitely pricier than most restaurants I frequent so that's kind of a barrier for me to trying multiple times. I'd be more like to order the salsa and a drink then snag dinner somewhere else. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Delicia in Broad Ripple for a date night the other week, and it has become a staple every time she comes in town! The quick drive over with lots of parking makes it a go-to date night spot for us when we are looking for an elevated experience with delicious food. We started with the Queso Fundido, which was fantastic. It came in a scorching hot skillet with melted cheese and goodness inside. It was a huge portion too, so we were able to take it home and have leftovers! I ordered the fish tacos, which were a first for me, but they were amazing and very filling! Coming with three large tacos plus rice and beans made the price extremely reasonable, and I was also able to take leftovers from my dish, as well. My girlfriend ordered her classic dish, the empanadas. Every time we have come, she never fails to order the empanadas, and they never disappoint! With the fluffy shell and flavorful filling, it is a fantastic dish, also coming with rice. We do not only come to Delicia for the food, but also for the excellent atmosphere and service. Our server was very welcoming, respectful, and kind to us, which we really appreciated. She was very patient and helped us determine portion sizes for specific drinks, as well as confirmation on Happy Hour special prices. We will most definitely be coming back to Delicia soon, and I can't wait to try more of their delicious dishes! read more

First time at Delicia-heard wonderful things about it. Had Lomo and a margarita. I was disappointed with both. The margarita tasted like watered down juice. The Lomo - which five of us ordered was like all mushed up together some of us got meat some just fries. It was not a stir fry. The place is nice and our waitress very friendly. read more

Okay-- I decided to try Delicia again and so glad I did. I had the short rib burria dish and it was AMAZING. I loved the balance of the salty and creamy with the slight tang of the pickled tomatoes. The meat was super tender and flavorful. I would definitely go back for this dish. I rated 4 stars because the chairs in the dining area were awkwardly low sitting and the arms made it uncomfortable while the bench seating was very high, making it feel a little less comfortable and cozy. I would have also liked to see a little complementary item at the table to crunch on similar to livery. read more

Love Delicia! I wish I got here more often. The service is always spot on, the drinks interesting and well made, and the food is fresh, presented beautifully, and unique. The salsa trio with house made chips is ALWAYS fantastic and unique. Can't go wrong with the guacamole. I had the ceviche app for dinner and it was fresh, bright, and perfect for 1 as a meal. Highly recommend! read more

I have no complaints. Food, drinks, service all were great. The atmosphere and service was also delightful.

Great food, service, atmosphere. Food quality was top notch. Ordered guacamole to start, it was delicious. Interesting addition is pistachios- the chips were crisp, salty and tasted great. Guac was fresh, great flavor, good portion. Fire n Ice margarita was not to my liking- I didn't like the tajin rim, and couldn't put my finger on what about the drink didn't taste good to me, maybe the basil? But I did see it was a very popular choice looking around the restaurant, just not to my taste. I still think it was a good drink, loved the ice ball as well. Regular margarita was very good. Simple, fresh, not too sweet. Fish tacos were good, interesting flavor and cabbage and pickled onions on top. Good flavor and the side of rice was decent. The coconut curried mahi phenomenal! Highly recommend. The flavors were indescribable. Fantastic seasoning, perfectly cooked fish, absolutely every part of that dish was wonderful. I would get that again in a heartbeat. Parking lot was full on Saturday night- there are about ten spots in front, and a one lane small lot in the back that's difficult to maneuver when the place is busy. We ended up easily parking on the street nearby. Atmosphere is great in the restaurant. Dimly lit, clean and modern vibe. The bar area was cool, we sat in the dining area and the booth was comfy. Service was great. Helpful and attentive server, actually recommended the mahi and a few other things. I wish I could remember her name, maybe Robin, but she was great. Overall we loved this restaurant and would absolutely recommend it to anyone and return ourselves! read more

DELICIA BRUNCH - For the Win!!! (Again) I have been to Declicia for Brunch a few times now and WOW! They cease to amaze, every time, every dish is amazing! From plating/ presentation to flavor combination to the service -- it's all great! 10/10 would recommend and eat again! We started with the Ceviche for an appetizer which came with a healthy portion size for 2 and you could taste the freshness. The heat from the jalapenos were what really did it for us! I was torn between the Huevos Rancheros and the Al Pastor Eggs Benedict -- the waiter suggested the Al Pastor and she was correct -- that dish is amazing! They have an al pastor hollandaise that really seals the deal on this one, and using the leftover sauce to dip your potatoes into is the way to go! My friend opted for the Steak and Eggs which was equally amazing, however the Eggs Benedict took the cake for me! However -- the plantains that come with it, are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! If you have the option to get those, you MUST!! Overall -- this place is amazing and I look forward to going back! read more

Late night dinner. The ambiance was a 10 out of 10. Love the interior decor inside the restaurant. Appetizer : ceviche was just right with a kick from the jalapeños perfect with corn chips. Big enough for two people to share. Drinks: my favorite was the smoke & stone . However , the fire and ice was just as great. Entree: enchiladas were to die for ,the sauce, amazing. I don't usually eat the beans and rice at restaurants, but these were wonderful and filled with flavor. Dessert: what's a meal without dessert. Wonderful bread pudding. I would have added whip cream and a little bit more caramel other than that it was a great dish. Environment: quiet, low lighting , perfect date night or a late night dinner with friends. Service was wonderful read more

Excellent, authentic and beautifully plated. Friendly caring staff and best South American food in Indianapolis. Bravo Delicia!

After enjoying brunch a few weeks ago, decided to return for a dinner service. We sat at the bar, which was exactly the atmosphere we were looking for. The food was once again on point! We ended up doing the guac to start and had the pupusa and chile relleno for main courses. Both of these dishes didn't disappoint. The only slight disappointment with the meal was in the bar program. We both orders cocktails off the menu and while the flavor profiles were pretty good, they were both outrageously sweet. The bartender did admit that they weren't the normal bartender and they were just covering the shift. However, all of their cocktails appeared to be batched out, so consistency shouldn't be much of an issue. The best cocktail of the night wasn't on the menu, I ordered a Caipirinha and it was absolutely perfect. I think a lot could be done here to really emphasize the Latin cocktails including agave spirits to pair up with the main food focus of the restaurant and this place would be an absolute gem! read more

Pretty decent food! I would say food wise it's about 8/10. I really liked my curry grouper. My friends ordered the fish tacos which she said was okay. The one dish that they did not like was the Mar y Tierra. They said the sauce was really bland and had no flavor. The queso was a bit chunky but flavorful. I was hoping there would be some variety of fish in the ceviche but it was only shrimp. Our server was awesome. Very attentive and personable. Ambiance was nice there and drinks were good! read more

Vibes upon walking in - this is a place to explore and enjoy. Expansive latin-inspired drink menu, not your typical tequila-only drinks. The options are inventive, I enjoyed the Legend of the Mayans - it is not typical to have something completely different as a drink option and this really hit the spot. Chips came out gently warmed to match a nice heat from the guacamole. Excellent guac, better than you will get at other sit down restaurants. The duck enchiladas, incredible - highly recommended. Still thinking about them as I write this review. Enjoyed a side of sweet plantains, they put cheese on it. Perfecto. read more
