    The Texas Chimichanga

    By far my favorite Mexican restaurant. You won't be disappointed with this entree. It is delicious!!!

    Burrito.. it's huge!

    This is my second visit this week! I rarely come to the west side but when I have to venture here to get my car worked on the WEST side has the best authentic Mexican restaurants! My service guy at the dealership recommended this place and the service is friendly and food is delicious! Forget CORONA and enjoy a SOL instead! The first time I came in someone played the juke and it startled me how loud it was lol. From the outside the parking lot has some serious parts of pavement that needs work but you cannot miss the building because it's bright YELLOW! For some odd reason ALL the windows still have Valentine's Day decorations too and it's already almost end of Feb! Haha. I LOVE the regrows beans and rice!! The best I've had yet!

    I been here a couple times and always come for the crab legs. They are so good with the perfect spices. Good atmosphere but the service could be better. We normally have to wait close to 45 minutes for our food. The house margarita is very good and strong.

    If you are looking for us intake Mexican food, that is clearly made with love and care, then this is the slot for you! From the homemade tortillas, to the meat options, to the amazing staff, you just can't go wrong. I was so excited to find that they made their tortillas fresh in the restaurant, I smell I hadn't encountered since I was in Texas. I went with a slightly larger group for a work lunch, and they were so accommodating and kind to everyone's questions and potential substitutions. What did I order, the biggest quesadilla that they had on the menu full of cheese and shrimp enjoy! If you're on the west side and have not checked this out, make sure you get there this weekend.

    Food was delicious! We were traveling to Missouri and spent the night in Indianapolis. Looked on Yelp for Mexican food. The place we found wasn't a full service restaurant with drinks for 2 couples. Instead we found this restaurant. Wow!!! Great way for 2 couples to end a 3 week vacation to celebrate our 40 & 41st anniversary. Authentic food. We recommend this restaurant.

    Some of the best guacamole on the westside!!! I had two tacos as well as frw chips n salsa, that was definetely enough to fill me up. The service is ok, i think mostly because of the language barrier. But the food is a great

    This is so good.

    This place has a really good variety of food to choose from from typical choices to seafood. The service is always great. I've been here more than a few times and have always had great food.

    I used to come here as a kid, it was nothing like I remembered. American mexican food - al pastor burrito (the meat was chopped like chorizo and dry), and a super sour michelada

    Food was great! Biggest chimichangas I have ever seen! Definitely all of our meals would feed two people easy. And all drinks were 32oz.

    The food, although healthy portions, was ok. The place was a bit noisy. Not a 4.2 rating yelp said. I was a bit disappointed.

I got the Langostino Quesadilla that I loved! It was a really big quesadilla too. We ordered agua frescas tonight, but their bar menu is huge and I definitely want to be back for margaritas on their patio. This is prime location for patio season. All our service was very professional and fast. Bonus perk there is a free parking garage attached.... Makes going out to eat downtown way less stressful!

Overall a chill environment and ith a nice front patio/ sidewalk seating area. We enjoyed the chips n salsa varieties, surprisingly the darker salsa wasn't spicier just a different flavor. Orde re d the chicken burrito which was gigantic easily enough for 2 to share. Very well made fresh ingredients, covered in sauces and cheesy. And we all tried different margaritas, mine was a strawberry fruity take on a margarita, good and garnished nicely. Rated fresh and flavorful, not very strong and a bit pricey. Especially with some being $100+ for a drink was wild. Overall nice place, nice environment, wasn't busy and tasted good but is priced higher than most Mexican restaurants in the city.

Driving through…read morehere, you see the blight and the abandonment of this area of Indianapolis since the decline of manufacturing. Then again, it's not an uncommon story unfortunately- large parts of the city forgotten in terms of economic development but then suddenly needed during times of campaigning. Had taken Keystone and then Rural Street to get here, and the potholes are not kind. But, we had this place on our list and were determined to make it here at least once. Tlaolli stood out for its vegan offerings. Plenty of vegan taco options, birria (an absolute rarity to see vegan birria), and torta. They offer soy chorizo, jackfruit, and king oyster mushrooms as protein options. The exterior is colorful, and inside there are seating options. We had gotten our food to go, so I cannot comment too much on the service. Had placed our order online, and the food was ready within the estimated time in the order. We ordered the vegan birria tacos ($17.99), the vegan torta ($10.99 base but added soy chorizo, which was $3.99), and the no-no-no taco ($5.99). Our total with fees was approximately $45. Tlaolli offers outdoor seating, so when the weather is nicer this would be a good place to come. Next to the East Washington IPL branch, Tlaolli has a colorful green exterior with neon signage. Food: The food was very good. The proteins were nicely seasoned and juicy. The highlight for me was the birria tacos and the consome. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 10/10. This is a great local business in the area to support: offers a diverse menu of options with food that is comforting and tasty.

I'm pretty sure the owner was the one who waited on us. He was friendly and so patient while we decided what to order. I had the chicken chipotle tacos since I remembered them being so good last time but I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
