    Texas Chimichanga without red sauce

    This is our always delivery. Today we stopped in to dine. The menu is expansive. The service is exceptional, the food is outstanding as usual. They really go out of their way to take care of you and help decide on something new on menu.

    This has been the go to spot for my family whenever we are craving Mexican food! Our experiences prior have always been good but this time that was not the case. When we walked in, we were quickly seated. We all ordered our usual and the service was good but we felt that we were being rushed the entire time during dinner. We had come here with a friend so we wanted to enjoy the dinner and conversation but the waiter kept coming back to see if we were done. Our entire dinner lasted only 45 minutes and we left as we were rushed, but it was not a pleasant experience. I am also pretty sure they had overcharged us when I received the bill at the end but I was too annoyed and wanted to leave.

    Color me impressed to find very good Mexican food in Indianapolis. Having spent a lot of time in California and Texas eating Mexican food from high end places to food trucks to really divey joints opened until the wee hours of the morning, I can honestly say this was very good. My street tacos were legit and the side of chipotle type salsa was a nice touch. The proteins were tasty as was the corn tortillas. I also enjoyed a tamarind water - 32 oz - for about $3 so needless to say, I did not need a refill. Decor was what you would expect and service was adequate. We were fortunate to come during a non-peak time so it was fairly empty and we had the place to ourselves. If you need a fix, I can recommend Iguana's when in the area.

    What night is senior night half-price?

    Wednesday's are senior night

    Are the chips and salsa average?

    I love their guacamole and the salsa. The guacamole as a starter is huge. The chips are good I think because of what I dip them in. Be themselves they are good when served warm.

I ordered the shrimp tacos which were plentiful and authentic tasting with the corn shells. They were cheesy and running over with a side of rice. Just what I like. Would I go again? Absolutely! Would I get the same dish? Yes, plus more.

The salsa is really good with lots of sweet tomato chunks and spices. I had the Taco Salad with shredded chicken. The salad came in a fried tortilla bowl. The generous portion of chicken was moist and flavorful. The guac topping was delicious. My husband had the lunch special Chimichanga with ground beef. 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.

The restaurant filled up quickly, and it is family-friendly. They have a 4-top bar with high wooden stools and 6 tables in the bar area. It is partially enclosed, so you have some privacy. The menu has all the traditional appetizers, entrees, and desserts. You will find a variety of nachos, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, and chimichangas. I had the Carnitas El Potro with chunks of tender pork tenderloin with onions and jalapeno peppers topped with shredded cheese and served with a side of beans and rice. I wasn't impressed with the pork chunks as they were fatty, but the beans and rice were flavorful. Desserts are available with Chimi Cheesecake, Flan, Sopapilla, and Ice Cream. I had the Flan and thought it was too dense. The Flan sauce was flavorful, but I did not enjoy the texture of this Flan, and it is my favorite Mexican dessert. I will not order this dessert here again. I'm still happy I tried El Potro's tonight and had the opportunity to visit with old and new friends. My entree, I'd say, is just okay, but what I had wasn't exceptional only due to the fatty meat. Some enjoy the fatty meat while others, like myself, do not. My sister loves fatty meat, so this is what she expects. Me, not so much. Our server, Laura, was excellent, and she didn't miss a step. Extra napkins, refills on drinks, additional chips, or salsa were refilled quickly, and used dishes were removed timely. Dinners arrived quickly and served together. My experience with El Potro was a pleasant atmosphere with average food and good service.
