    We've ordered food for delivery multiple times and finally stopped in to dine in with a friend. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived and were seated right away. The ambiance is casual, open and welcoming and the staff are friendly as well . My friend got a margarita whoch he said was good but could've been stronger. Overall our food was great and very filling and well be dining here again or ordering delivery in the future.

    El Toro Fajitas
    Liddia S.

    I have been to multiple El Toro locations and I, personally haven't been disappointed yet. This was my first time at this location. It's a bit smaller than the other locations, it's in the strip of shopping stores and restaurants. Parking is available on the strip as well as behind it. The decor is cool, plenty of tables and booths available. The bar has 8-10 chairs available. I went on a Saturday night around 9pm and it was fairly quiet. I always order the El Toro fajitas which has steak, chicken and shrimp with veggies. It was about $20 and you get your bang for your buck. I go to a lot of Mexican restaurants and so far their portions for fajitas are the best, hands down. If you like spicy, ask for hot salsa. It's delish. It comes with rice, pico, lettuce, guac, sour cream, beans and tortillas which i think is a heck of a deal. I was greeted immediately when I came in, the server was friendly and prompt. The food came out extremely fast and I was checked on regularly. El Toro has always been in my rotation, especially for the fajitas.

    This was an unexpected find in the mall neighborhood near the Courtyard hotel that we were staying at. While this restaurant has the feel of a carefully groomed chain style location with somewhat generic decor, the food is a solid choice. The guacamole was quite flavorful and a good item to accompany the chips. Portion sizes for the entrees are quite large and served piping hot from the kitchen. I enjoyed the shrimp tacos I ordered, although I will say I was not impressed by the Spanish rice, which was bland and a bit dried out. Usually the rice is one of the dishes you can rely on but it was disappointing here. Overall though, the food was tasty and service attentive. Recommended.

    El Toro Bravo takes the best parts of a local Mexican American restaurant, gets rid of them, and then tries to pass itself off as upscale. While the wall mural in the dining area is unique, the sparkler towers and drum line of musicians loudly bashing their drums and blowing their whistles for patrons celebrating birthdays reminds me more of spring breaks in Cancun when I was younger than what it is: a strip mall Mexican restaurant on the outskirts of a mini-metropolitan area. The food was fine -- a plate of rice with some semi-sautéed vegetables and cheese sauce passed the edible test. The other person in our party ordered a chimichanga and mentioned it was "good". Thank god for free chips and salsa though! In all, I found the entire experience to try too hard while under delivering on the things it should be best at.

    Visited this restaurant with family over the summer, and really enjoyed it! The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, clean, and played some great Spanish music. The staff was attentive and accommodating to our eight person party with two young children. Considering this is a Mexican restaurant located in a mall, the food was yummy and affordable with large portions. I appreciated that they had vegetarian options on the menu, as well. Would definitely return to this spot in the future.

    Trending yummy food for a beautiful Sunday funday loving the views and food today with great service too

    Happy Pollo

    Loved the vibes in here and murals on the wall were really cool! We came in for a Sunday lunch and they had the Colts game playing loudly, which kind of gave it a sports bar vibe instead of a Mexican restaurant, but it was still a fun atmosphere. We started with salsa, guacamole, and queso and they were all great, but the queso was a little runny. The menu is so extensive and they have so many seafood options! I had a hard time picking what I wanted but I went with the Happy Pollo and I enjoyed it. Came with rice and beans and the chicken was topped with mushrooms, onions, and cheese. The service was great too, the food came out pretty fast. This restaurant didn't necessarily blow me away as it was kinda like any other Mexican restaurant but everything was great and it's a nice option if you're in the west side of Indy!

    Bobble head was super fun

    Wait time, Saturday night 20 min. Lots of parking nearby! Took a looooooong time to get our food:( then when it finally did it was like it had been sitting for awhile as it was cold and mine was made wrong, they did remake it but so quickly as the cheese was not melted. I informed the mgr who promptly remade a 3rd time, and it tasted fine. Not impressed by the drink sizes, you have a 12oz ranges from minimum of $15 or a small pitcher ( and it DEFINITELY was NOT a normal pitcher by any means) ranges from $35-50 dollars and it's only 2 small drinks each. The flairs are nice touch as well as the dry ice effect, but I would prefer a larger cup size!!! The only offer frozen drinks in the patron bottles which was a disappointment I prefer regular as the drinks are not watered down. The chips were just ok, some tasted old. The small cheese was also ok. Not worth $5. Very expensive place for a Mexican restaurant. Bathrooms were clean and beautiful decorated, the doors were pretty . I did however LOVE the bobble head guys & the DJ! The atmosphere was definitely fun and I can see how a group would have a great time!!!

    Birrias Tacos and Cantarito drink.
    Lóla A.

    STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND GO HERE FOR LUNCH IMMEDIATELY! Y'all the service, food and drinks were unmatched. Friendly, knowledgeable, bilingual, accommodating bartender and server. Food came fast and piping hot. Drink was entertaining to be made with the bubbly dry ice show and tasted delicious and not too sweet at all. I'll be back! I had the Birrias Tacos and the Cantarito drink. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    El mar enchiladas
    Vanessa L.

    I'm so happy we now have a local El Toro now! Although I did love the Stacked Pickle, this is a solid replacement. We came in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Our server was super friendly, and bilingual! Half of our party primarily spoke Spanish, so that was awesome. I had the strawberry margarita. It's really neat because this place gives you dry ice, so it's all bubbly and looks like a margarita hot tub:) very delicious and was not weak! For my entree, I had the el mar enchiladas, which came with one tilapia, one crab, and one shrimp, covered with queso cheese. It's served with rice, beans, and a guacamole salad. I was super impressed with this!! They all had tons of meat in them, and it was very yummy. Although I want to branch out and try new things when we return, I think this will be my go to dish. Highly recommend trying! We will be regulars from here on out.

    This the BOSS burrito! Fantastic!
    Gabrielle P.

    We went to this restaurant on a Wed night because I had always wanted to go. The waiter was kind and gave us a couple of recommendations. I chose the BOSS BURRITO. Whew! When I say delicious....I mean DELICIOUS! This was one of the best BURRITOS I have ever had! All I can say is, you've got to try it! The ambiance was nice in the restaurant. It was clean and semi-crowded. As far as the price, I'd say it was about average. I would recommend it!

    We went for an early lunch so it wasn't crowded at all. Very good service, clean and cute inside. The food was very good!!

    Great food, more of a traditional Mexican taste. Drinks are pricey and the dry ice makes them small

Our server Emily was cheerful and informative. A parking garage across the street served us well for dining at this restaurant and attending an event at Hendricks Live across the street. The shrimp cocktail appetizer featured fresh large shrimp with dollops of horseradish on the plate and a nice sauce. I enjoyed the steak frites entree, a generous portion of steak perfectly cooked, served with a delicious broccolini and tasty fries. My sister ordered the chicken marsala and noted that she would have liked more sauce, and the truffle potatoes were delicious. My brother said his huge pork chop was perfect, and my sister in-law recommended the sirloin steak. We had reservations and were seated at a high top table, which is not my preferred way to dine but the restaurant was full so we didn't ask to be moved. We had a bit of a wait for our entrees and chalked that up to it being Saturday night. There is a separate bar area and rooftop dining with igloos available.

    Eh, fell a bit short for me…read more The ambiance and vibes are great! Service was great as well!! The food is where it fell short for me. I drove an hour to visit this place and saw lots of good reviews. I started off with a lemon drop and a snack short rib eggroll. The lemon drop was watery and just did not hit like I would have hoped (I'm a lemon drop girly). They do use Titos as their well so that was good. The egg roll was dry- you definitely need to dip in the wasabi aioli to make it palatable. Next up were the buffalo chicken hush puppies. I like the idea here. The inside was moist and flavorful and the outside was kind of dry and drizzled with what I think was ranch. They were ok. I have a Ceaser salad add chicken and "fried" Brussels sprouts. The salad was suppose to come the onions , there were none so the waitress brought me some. The salad was mid at best and the chicken was dry and unflavored. I asked for some spicy ranch and that saved the salad! The Brussels sprouts were pretty good. My friend had the potato soup and said it was very watery (not creamy at all). I enjoyed the live music and overall vibe but good was average. Parking is an issue as well. There is parking in the rear or a parking garage but not super convenient parking.

The front desk attendant at the hotel gave us a double thumbs up on the nearby Coachman Restaurant and Lounge so we made our way over with rather high expectations. We have to admit that at first glance the Coachman doesn't suggest a superior dining experience. A somewhat tired exterior and an outdoor deck populated by smokers gave us pause but we pressed on and could not have been more pleasantly surprised by the food, drink, and service. We started with a Casamiga Ranch Water and a pint of the local amber ale. The drinks arrived in frosted glasses with the perfect degree of crispness. The star here is the prime rib. We had the 12 ounce prime which was perfectly rare and served with a large dollop of horseradish as well as a medium rare prime rib sandwich. The meat was flawlessly seasoned and impeccably tender. Our visit to the Coachman reinforced the adage that one ought not judge a book by its cover. We don't know if our adventures will take us through Plainfield again but if they do we will prioritize a meal at the Coachman!

The place has a great ambience very welcoming. The hostess greeted me very promptly and with a great smile, my server Chloe was fantastic very well informed and suggested I try the prime rib. I'm so glad I did. It was fantastic. I took the smaller cut the 8 ounce they gave you two sides. I chose the French onion soup and baked potato and everything was great. The 8 ounce was plenty big with the two sides so I'm glad I didn't get the larger one. I will be back if I'm in the area. She suggested I try the pork tenderloin next time so I will do that. Keep up the great work.

A gob bunch in leaps with lots of bountiful interesting food choices here in 2026. I won't lie, the traffic is living in someone else's nightmare or a ground hog's day of a horror flick. Big YIKES. Very very congested. If only the Greenwood IN (USA) engineers would say heya fellas, how's about doing it this way, k?!?Tho the roundabout on Smith Valley/Old Merdian is a literal question mark octopus whatever as you approach it. All with zero ways out beforehand, Upon facing multiple options in a you know what show once you arrive for those options isn't as fun as one might think. Why folks become illiterate behind the wheel of a car is a thing I do try to avoid ;). Anywho...back to Ford's Garage in Avon. To suggest it was great is quite the understatement. I ordered not with DoorDash but called this establishment for my own peace of mindfulness. Bison Burger with fries. Ready in 15 minutes is what was told to me. WOW to Ford. I see now why Ford's are built FORD tough. It is toughfanfabulousawesome inside. Chevy who? For REAL. The ladies' room is where I'd love to camp. Seriously, the design/deco should be in all campsites. The recycling alone is where I felt the true grit of Ford's vision. Use what is available to stay feasible, why waste is how I felt while being in this restaurant. Thank you to you Yelp for being my go to & a bunches more to Ford. Back to the meal...since it was my lunch before a yoga class, I took my lunch to Carmel, IN (USA). As I'm trying my best to depict how juicy, tender, & zero what's that I'm chewing on in a typical hamburger wasn't a thing for me, simply won't suffice. It was still warm & freaking delicious. TBH, the standard of bison reminded me of a restaurant in Custard Park. SD (USA), Ford's prolly better. Why? Bc I ate this burger yesterday, Custard Park was last year ;). The fixings is what I found most delightful. Ford's bison burger is a perfect blend of deliciousness. Exactly crafted by a staple of our beautiful country, America...became inspiring to this Hoosier. I have the other half to look forward for today's lunch. Yippee! When you're in town or near mb Avon IN (USA) to want something different...plus want a high protein meal, this place is worth the drive. Just watch your surroundings as construction is all over this area. Enjoy, Amy
