    Margarita

    Took a chance on a new spot, because I was in the area. The service was wonderful and they were so accommodating, despite a slight language barrier. Made my friend and I delicious GIANT margaritas, even though they weren't on the menu. Will be back!

    Chicken tacos $3

    I've been craving tacos but too busy to make them with a family's worth of errands and chores to do. I decided to stop by El Taco Torro after leaving Menards. Wait was short, only about ten minutes. I got my food to go to bring back to my family. My husband said the burrito was delicious. I forgot to ask for no tomatoes and that usually causes some gripes, but he was too busy enjoying the burrito to complain! The shrimp taco was the better of the two that I had. The chicken taco was surprising soggy on the tortilla but with dry meat. I can give the benefit of maybe the travel time making the tortillas soggy, but the chicken was on the drier side and lacked flavor.

    Authentic and delicious! The outside is a little dated, but the inside is updated really nice, and the food was so good! This is a hidden gem for sure.

    What a great surprise. I know that these little mom and pop places have the best ethnic food, but not being Hispanic I'm always afraid to try. Today I was fortunate to have a coworker bring me here. I had three of the tacos and they were all great. Very fresh ingredients. I stuck with steak and pork for two of them, but for the third I tried something new... Tacos de Cabeza. "Meat of the head". It was so tender and flavorful. I also tried horchata for my drink. It was great too.

    From the outside you wouldn't know what you're gonna get, but I felt like this place would offer my an authentic Mexican experience so I decided to stop by and it was pretty good! I got 3 tacos: steak, pastor, and chorizo with a guava Jarritos. My mom got a carne asade torta and we were both happy with our choices. The pastor taco was the best part of my lunch in my opinion. It was juicy and flavorful! This restaurant is also attached to a Mexican grocery store which me and my mom went to and got a couple candies :).

    Fajitas tejanas.  A+
    Rawley F.

    The fajitas Tejanas were fantastic. The only things that kept this from being 5 star were the language barrier (ordering was a tad awkward as they explained I'd be paying more than the menu advertised) and some employee flicking some type of food toward the top of the grill where my food was being prepared. The language thing is fine, but just be aware that none of the employees spoke English (and I know zero Spanish). But I couldn't figure out what was going on with the guy flicking things toward the ceiling. It appeared as though another employee told him to quit playing around. It was doubly strange being that their grill is front and center, right behind the bar. That employee knew that I was watching him behave in this manner. I was worried that whatever he kept flicking (chunks of veggies or meat???) Was going to land in or near my food. I'll go back soon, though, all things considered.

    Good portions.

    Tasty! This resturant is Mexican style meaning that its set up like a typical casual Mexican diner. It's common to have a "bar" where you can see your food being made. Don't let the area or exterior discourage you. It was really good. The atmosphere is casual and has music, however the music is a little loud to the point you can't really have a good conversation. Even ordering you have to talk loud. This resturant is attached to a Mexican grocery store. It was clean and food was hot delicious and made to order. I was alone and took my food to go. I got 2 asada sopes rice & beans and it was under $12.00 so it's very reasonably priced. I didn't have any trouble ordering, I speak Spanish. Its to loud to use google translate so I suggest you point at the menu since it does have the english translation! (LOL). The employees at this location DID appear to speak english. They take credit cards, and they sell beer. Overall really good.

    Leftover chicken quesadilla. Still delicious reheated
    Mary T.

    Very authentic Mexican. Tucked inside a Mexican grocery, this place makes everything to-order. It's all hot and fresh ingredients. You pretty much need to speak Spanish or bring a friend who does to get your order correct. It's a small menu, but you won't be disappointed. Tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas are their main fare. Their green salsa is quite spicey!

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.
