    Pollo entero con todo- whole grilled chicken with everything + chips & salsa
    Elizabeth D.

    We ordered the pollo entero con todo, which is the while grilled chicken with everything. It's served with rice and beans, salsa, lettuce, tortillas, onions, and grilled peppers. We added chips and salsa and extra cebollitas (grilled onions). For $18.95 it's a ton of food and great for several people to share! It has everything you need to make little tacos, or just demolish the chargrilled chicken as is because it's delicious! Really authentic food, cheap, and a great experience, we'll definitely be ordering from them again! Red sauce is slightly spicy, green sauce has a tiny kick, and the peppers are HOTTTT so be aware. The tortillas are fresh and hold up well, and the grilled onions are addicting. My only "disappointment" which isn't really a disappointment because I love all grilled onions, but I was hoping the cebollitas were grilled green onions because those are my fave and I haven't found any in Indianapolis yet (send me recs if you know any places).

    Expect to find some legit $2 tacos at this west side spot with really friendly service. Not only are the tacos tasty, but the gorditas and homemade salsas are pretty delicious too. I recommend ordering the chicken but skipping the chorizo.

    A cheap place for your affordable Mexican fix. They got $2 tacos and free chips and salsa when you dine in. The seasonings are pretty tasty on my carne Asada tacos. Service is great, everyone is very friendly and nice. I would come back but I'm leaving Indy.

    I love their blackened "al carbon" chicken. You can get a 1/2 chicken with beans and rice, with corn flour tortillas, grilled onions, and a big habanero pepper for $8.18 (plus tax). Also includes chips and salsa. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. Other items on the menu seemed pretty standard, but I don't remember anything that stood out, other than they serve breakfast. Though the sign in the front window says they are open 9am to 9pm, (9:30am to 9pm on Mondays). Canned soft drinks are $1.00 ea, so no free refills. Mexican bottled sodas are $1.50. I probably should have asked for a free glass of ice water too, as one can of soda was not quite enough to wash everything down. Men's room was noticeably cleaner than average for Mexican restaurants. There was tp, hand-soap, and a dispenser of paper-towels. Ambience is okay,... good for a strip-mall. Clean dining area too. Two TV's were tuned to a Spanish language channel. The waitress speaks English well. I was there for an early dinner, and there were only 3 other customers.

    One of my favorite go-to taco spots. The loaded chicken nachos are the best, and the service is always quick and pleasant.

    After dinner at The Dining Room at RH, we were looking for a place to go for a night cap. Specially…read morea 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.

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.

It was a cool-looking restaurant and felt like a cozy spot. My food came out looking amazing, and it tasted great. I got the Mac n Cheese Donuts and the Grilled Crispy Chicken Burrito. My issue was mainly with the service. From the time my friend and I were seated, it took 15 minutes for us to be greeted, and we had been sitting there for more than 20 minutes before we received our drinks and had a chance to order our food. This was during the early afternoon with very little foot traffic, so I personally don't see why there was such a delay in what could've been a smooth experience. I also asked for a to-go box but was never brought one, so I had to leave my leftovers behind in order to walk to work and make it there on time. I would try this place again, but maybe next time I would sit at the bar to make the interaction quicker and easier.

    WOW! This is my new favorite restaurant!…read more I grew up in Southern California; Mexican food is comfort food. As a new(ish) vegan, I was resigned to cooking my own, whenever I craved Mexican food... but at Tlaolli, I was spoiled for choice! I ended up trying the hibiscus taco (clever, creative, with a wonderful melding of spices and a punch of bright acidity), the tofu mole taco (smoky and creamy, with well-balanced spices), and the Nonono tamale (no meat, no dairy, no gluten), which was roasted poblano peppers and soy chorizo with black bean paste and corn masa (a bit dry, but super flavorful and great chew). And there was housemade tamarindo, which I have always loved, and it wasn't over-sweetened, which I loved even more. Tart and bright and refreshing! His Goatness the Hubbins got a mixed platter of vegan tacos (I was proud of him), and dad got meat items, which he enjoyed (the owner let us know all meats are all natural, with no hormones). And we all shared salsa and chips, which was smooth and well-flavored, with lots of spices but only mild heat. (I could have drunk the stuff.) Atmosphere is intimate and cozy, with a few tables inside the colorful cafe and a few painted picnic tables outside. Everything is clean and tidy, including the restroom. Service was friendly, sociable, and passionate about the food they're creating. Seriously, I love this place. Can't wait to try more of the vegan menu options! (I fell on my food so fast I totally failed to get pictures... but the pics at https://www.tlaolli.org are accurate!)
