    El Rodeo
    Sneha P.

    The restaurant is huge and has great seating and decor. The customer service is great and they bring your order in a timely manner. There are a lot of food choices on the menu with a few vegetarian options as well. We found that the flavor could be improved. We found the food pretty bland and vegetables watery after the were not hot anymore. Their portion is very generous! They are located right on US 36 with a huge parking space in the front. They are business casual and family friendly. They do dine and carryout. I am unsure if they have outdoor seating available.

    Veggie Fajitas
    Kim M.

    This is my friends favorite spot! She is super particular about her margaritas and they always make it just the way she likes. I'm always happy to meet up at this location when I'm in Avon. Enjoyed my meal and the friendly service. I had the veggie fajitas with rice instead of beans. It was tasty. The veggies had a lot of oil so it ate really rich. But with the rice and avocado it had nice flavor to me. The interior could use a refresh but it was fine.

    Birria taco
    Tori M.

    Food was over all good but Birria could use more flavor and be a bit more juicy. The meat was a bit dry. Came here with a coupon I saw in the paper for taco Tuesday 2$ and no time frame was on the coupon but for lunch/ dinner special and we got there around 2:30 pm and lady tried to say it started at 3pm. I knew she was lying and I even made a comment saying "I guess we won't order until 3 pm and just sit here and eat chips and salsa" then she got upset a bit but said we could do the 2$ a taco. Then she overcharged us. Good overall came out too fast. Couldn't even enjoy our appetizer before being shoved with more food. Waitress could be a bit more nicer. Will Be ordering to go from now on.

    Quick and kind service! 33. Pollo Supremo was so big and absolutely delicious! We were each given our own bowl of salsa which was great. I love the colors inside and the decor feels authentic. And that mega strawberry margarita tied it all together. I will be back.

    Our go-to for Mexican. Fast, yummy, clean and everyone is so friendly! Their phone number has changed (317) 203-5754 and the prices have increased but the portions are huge!

    I ordered on the DoorDash app and did pick up. It was ready a few minutes early which was good. Food was hot and tasty. They also gave chips and salsa which was nice. Their salsa is good just needs a little more cilantro. My tilapia and shrimp were really good. There were only three pieces of lobster. This location is good. I would steer clear from the location in Speedway. My friend had an actual cockroach in her food. I hesitated to try this location since that happened in Speedway. Glad I tried it.

    What a beautiful restaurant! The inside was so clean, the tables looked new and the decor was beautiful! My food was delicious, only thing I would change is the French fries. They were a little limp for my taste , I like a crispy fry. My quesadilla was good and crispy. On Thursday they had 11.99 32oz margarita specials that were delicious!!! The chips and salsa also delicious, first bowl is free and $1 for each after, but so worth!

    Booths are spacious and decor is nice!

    Went for lunch with my father and I. We both ordered the lunch special - steak fajitas. Food was appropriate temperature, portion size for a lunch special was generous and fed me well, steak was of good quality (and not that ground stuff), it was actual pieces of steak. Meals come with complementary chips and salsa. Price was very reasonable considering the steep price increases I've seen at most restaurants since pandemic inflation, so I felt the amount of food for the price was a good deal, especially for lunch! Staff was helpful when my father had questions about menu items. Authentic Hispanic atmosphere was very nice since I took Spanish in college and like to be immersed in the culture! At the very least waiters were saying things like "what would u like to order amiga" "gracias" "hola senior" - nice touch! I'm conclusion, I love authentic Mexican! And this was very close if not hitting the nail on the head! If I'm in the area again, this will be a place I return to again!! *Post pandemic practices - about half of staff wearing masks, signs for social distancing on front door and around interior of restaurant

    Food and drinks were AWESOME! Our server was not the best, but Juan took over and stepped up. He made our entire experience enjoyable. We even kept a 2 1/2 year old happy and occupied! 10/10 recommended but request Juan!!!!

    Outstanding Mexican food. Truly, some of the best Mexican food I've eaten in Indiana so far. And…read moreTlahcos is located in Plainfield, of all places. What a pleasant surprise! I got the quesa birria tacos, which is shredded beef and melted cheese in a double corn tortilla. They come three to an order, with a cup of red consomme to dip them into, and a couple of lime wedges to squeeze over everything. They do not come with any sides, so I ordered the refried pinto beans and carrot rice, because I really wanted some rice and beans. Beans and rice are my litmus test of any Mexican restaurant, and I'm happy to say that the rice and beans at Tlahcos passed the test with flying colors, and they are sublime. I don't practice Santeria, but perhaps the people at Tlahcos do, because their food is bewitching. The carne asada was also ordered, and it came with grilled nopales (cactus), cebollita canbray (little onions), grilled panela cheese, plus guacamole, salsa, rice and black beans. It was a 98%, and what would have raised it to a 100% was if it came with tortillas. But really, it was a great dish! If you're a person who is used to eating carne asada on a regular basis, you will be satisfied with this one. Chips and salsa are complimentary, which shows that Tlahcos knows its Plainfield-area visitors. My children, who eat like birds, filled themselves up on chips and salsa and declined a full meal, but Tlahcos does have a kids menu. On the kids menu, you'll find arroz con pollo, mini cheese quesadillas, a taco, mac & cheese, chicken nuggets and a mini pizza. Kid meals come with your choice of side, which are fries, rice & beans or a cup of fruit. They have a full cocktail list, as well as beer, wine and hot beverages (coffee and tea). I got a Paloma, which was a little light on the booze, but tasty nevertheless. The rim of the glass was beautifully decorated with Tajin, which added a nice, spicy kick. It was one of those drinks that makes you want to lick the glass.

The drinks are great. I have had the Birria tacos, the guacamole, the refried beans, and black beans, as well as multiple food options. Seriously, I have taken clients here as well as family. My most recent experience was still great, but there are two items I would never order off the menu. Let's look at the good and bad of these items: Baja Fish Tacos- I was looking for the cabbage-filled delicacies that are light but flavorful. What I received appeared to be small fish sticks stuck into a tortilla. The cabbage and sauce were tasty, but they could not mask the main cause of the tacos' failure: the fish. Do not order these. Ceviche Yucatan- looking for flavor with the light ceviche? That is not what this is. This is a large portion of ceviche dressed in a sweet sauce that completely overpowers it. Not even sure that you can call it a ceviche at this point. But the portion was good, and the ceviche ingredients looked fresh. Otherwise, we had the house guac, which was so so good, the birria tacos, which were amazing with the sauce as usual, the fundido, which was flavorful cheese and chorizo, as well as the Zapopan, which was a wonderful fusion of mango and spice (who knew bacon in this would be great). Housemade Horchata is great, not too sweet and flavorful as well as the Rita margarita! GREAT. Overall, a great night, some great food, and I will be back, but I will just not order the two items discussed above! PROS: Great flavors and food Good seating Good service Parking garage or street parking, easy CONS: Smaller actual bar top area

His plate was huge and colorful with pico, rice, beans and a cheesy covered chimichanga. The food is a step above your average Mexican restaurant. They offer daily drink specials (beer and margarita). I was tempted, but it was just too early in the day. They also have a kid's menu. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot and the restaurant is fully accessible. I recommend and will return.
