    Hands down one of the best authentic Mexican dining experiences I've ever had! Wonderful food, service, and staff!

    Laura M.

    This is the Mexican place I have been searching for! If you love authentic and great seafood get here in a hurry. They have an amazing menu that covers all the bases like crab, shrimp, scallops, oysters, octopus and that was just in my ceviche. I had food envy for every plate I saw come out of the kitchen. They have my favorite thick crunchy chips not the bagged ones and amazing guacamole. The chips also come with a red salsa, a whitefish salsa and the green salsa that you better make sure to have your drink before trying it. Margaritas are very tasty and they have many other drink options. The paella is huge and was covered in seafood. That will be my next purchase. Most of the meals I saw would be good for a couple more when you get home. It's an unassuming place on 38th St. But don't pass it by! Also if you don't pay attention and leave your phone like I did they'll take good care of it for you. Thanks to staff for their help!!

    Order off of Door Dash. Each item was delicious and different tasting from the other.

    I had a friend rave about this restaurant so I decided to try it when I saw it was an offering on Door Dash. It was so, so delicious. None of the regurgitated Mexican that is just a different mixture of beef and cheese for every dish. This is legit Mexican seafood! What we ordered: Camarones Coras - lemon-y, perfectly spicy but not flames in your mouth. Love that is served with garlic bread to sop up all the delicious juices. Steak Tacos - full of delicious meat inbetween two tortillas. Didn't fall apart and that's pretty amazing considering it was delivered via car to our front door. Empanadas de Camaron - just YUM. Try them. Ceviche Tostadas - light and bright. Arrived with a huge bag of tostadas to make yours to your desired amount of ceviche on top. We may not wait more than a week to order from here again.

    By far this is the best Mexican place for seafood, and believe me I've searched and tried many places and there is no other in whole Indianapolis. Located on 38th street, it's a nice restaurant that serves Nayarit style seafood, this place is packed everyday of the week but during the weekends you will definitely see entire families inside enjoying the great food and drinks this place has. The parking lot is pretty big for a lot of cars and they also have a drive thru section if you're picking up food. I wouldn't trust google images of the menu since its renovated and prices have changed, I was just here this first week of 2021 and saw the changes. So when I got here I saw they ask you to wear a mask and that they have skipped a few tables to enforce social distancing, they ask everyone to wear a mask and if there's no table available at the moment they will write you down in their list but you will have to wait inside your car. During weekends you might see some clowns around for the kids or even mariachi to entertain people while they eat, so be prepared for some noise if you plan on eating there. I love ceviche and I have been to all Mexican restaurants in Indy and the reason I drive 22 minutes to eat at this place is because they serve a good amount of real ceviche and they don't try to make it look like it's a lot by adding more onion which is the thing with other places; here you will try real fish. Now, to properly eat this ceviche they have crunchy chips and a very spicy and tasty green sauce, be careful this will make you have a runny nose. Now another thing that I love having here is shrimp cocktails and shrimp empanadas those are really tasty and when they serve empanadas they add a very creamy and spicy sauce on the side. During my last visit the guy who was in charge of the list was very proactive and when they were about to give me my table he placed my order for food so it took less than 15 minutes to have the dish on my table, loved the service all waiters were taking good care of their tables. I wish they would open another restaurant near downtown or broadripple. The only complaint is that a dinner here will result a little expensive with a few things but I once a month i guess it's ok! Keep up with the great taste and service!

    Frozen mango margarita
    Keisha M.

    My friend picked this place for her bday dinner and it was my first time dining here. As soon as we walked in there was a mariachi band playing and singing to customers at a table. The music was louder than normal and then I noticed that the instruments were plugged into a speaker. Too loud for me unfortunately. Once seated, our host made sure we knew that it was karaoke night and we were right by the speaker. He asked did we want to move tables and we did.......on the opposite side to be exact. That was nice of him. The restaurant is not very big. It has the look and feel of a typical Mexican restaurant. Not very modern either. Once seated we had frozen margaritas that were delish. They serve complimentary chips, salsa and fish ceviche. The ceviche was very tasty! My friend doesn't really like seafood and she even liked the ceviche. Our server barely understood English. I asked a few questions about gluten and she just stared at me and kept smiling with no answer. She did however bring another lady over so that I could ask my question. Unfortunately she had zero knowledge as to what gluten even is. It's amazing to me how people that work in the food industry have no regard and are uninformed about their own products when it comes to allergens. Unacceptable! I enjoyed seafood paella for my entree. A couple crab legs, mussels, clams, scallops, shrimp and octopus served with seasoned rice. The dish was pretty good and the portion was huge. I was disappointed that the dish was served with "imitation" crab and shrimp that are not deveined but nonetheless, the paella was good. The food was not bad but it wasn't great either. There was nothing about this place that would make me refer anyone or go back ‍

    7 Mares caldo ( 7 different seafood soup)
    Librada G.

    Second time here wow still so delicious Their 3 leches de Rompope the best!! Had Arrachera marinado came with white rice, refried beans made with chorizo ah man delicious !! Also, 7 Mares caldo very impressive taste. The server was very attentive and should sell cars cuz she sold me Rompope 3 leches cake and Im not even a dessert person but was super rich and full of flavor. Overall great flavors and great service

    Ceviche San Blas Shrimp Ceviche Special
    Savitri B.

    Great hole-in-the-wall found off of 38th street, specializing in Mexican seafood dishes. Expect dishes full of flavor and spice, and really friendly service. The ceviche and langoustines (hard to find locally) are a MUST! Highly recommend all of the dishes pictured. Doesn't hurt to get a Margarita while you're there, but the food is good enough to stand alone. Great find!

    Paella
    Amara R.

    As soon as I sat down, I knew I was in for a treat. Our waitress greeted us not only with chips and salsa, but also fish ceviche. While happily snacking on that delicious ceviche, I found myself staring at the other tables to see first-hand what treats were in store on the menu. My friend and I initially set out to order to paella entrees, but the manager told us that one paella was a very large portion, and that we would do better to order one and then select another entree to split. This turned out to be great advice. We ordered a whole fried tilapia in addition to the paella, and that was more than enough for two people to tackle in one sitting. The paella was filled with shrimp, scallops, octopus, clams, mussels, and a crab leg for each of us, plus the perfectly seasoned rice (because what's a paella without good rice?). It's served on a large platter, clearly for sharing. The tilapia was seasoned, fried, and served whole - head and tail included. I've only ever seen tilapia in filet form, so I was surprised by the size of the fish. We ate our fill with plenty to split between two to go boxes. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Since neither of us had been to the restaurant before, we had a lot of questions about menu items or entrees that were being served to patrons at other tables (for example, the very popular Molcajete San Blas). There was also live music during our time there. El Puerto de San Blas was my first experience with the seafood side of Mexican cuisine, and I must say that I'm impressed. All credit to the Savor the International Marketplace week event that put this place on my radar. I will definitely return!

    Octopus ceviche
    Sarah B.

    What a great little place! I was met quickly at the door and sat within moments, the server brought me spicy tomatillo salsa and a sample of ceviche, which frankly was great. I noticed that the majority of the menu was seafood which was a phenomenal surprise. We decided to order a plate to share and holy cow this ceviche was absolutely incredible! It was perfectly citrusy -- not too much lime and not too much orange. It honestly couldn't have been better. The server continues to be attentive throughout the meal and I would gladly return.

They had some specials for the day but I got my old faithful, Maria's Enchiladas with steak. It comes with rice and beans and it's just so so soooo good!!! I also got the Arroyo Margarita which was good but def could tell they were adding a bit more sour mix to the drink. Overall, it was a good experience but I will try to come back again on a day that is not as busy.

The restaurant is sleek and has a cool vibe, but we immediately realized it was not going to be what we thought of when we saw "street tacos" mentioned during Google search. It's more of a metropolitan American Soul fusion place, with a heavy emphasis on loaded, uniquely flavored tacos instead of traditional Mexicana. The server was wonderful in explaining their menu and gave multiple recommendations, which I went with all of her great suggestions once I told her what I was craving. My husband didn't enjoy his appetizer, saying it tasted too sweet instead of savory for him, but the server was great at being aware of our plates and took the appetizer off our bill when she noticed he wasn't eating it without us even mentioning it. I got three different tacos, and the only one I didn't enjoy was due to the Mac n cheese that was stuffed in it. It just didn't taste or feel right having a taco with macaroni that was pushed in so densely that it became a sponge. The other two were great! My husband gave his burrito a 3/5, as he felt it was too much one note. Overall, don't come here if you're looking for upscale Mexicana, but instead want to enjoy interesting fusion flavors and fun cocktails. Great place for a group outing or celebration!
