Tacooooooooo Festtttttttt! I love the Indiana Discount Mall, but what I love more is Tavo Fest! This event is held outside of the mall, in the back/sides of the building. Taco fest happens a few times out the year, where different food trucks/vendors bring their eats to the streets, a live DJ is on the mic, various entertainment in the inside eating area, and some adult beverages at the bar. Needless to say, I've made it to several. The most recent one my family and I attended was in September. Before I attended the latest fest, I was doing dialysis and on the transplant list. So, I had to watch what I could eat and drink. Finally being able to attend a fest WITH NO LIMITATIONS was the best experience I had. Finally! I was able to have some of those biggggggg fruit non-alcoholic drinks. Man of man! I had been missing out. The vendors that offer these drinks will get more purchases from me, in the future Taco Fest's. I can't wait for the next Taco Fest. You will know of these events from the business's Facebook page. Warning: be prepared to walk! Parking gets crazy read more

In terms of eating tacos there is no better place than Indy Taco Fest. The best of the best food trucks come to the event and everyone is at the top of their game. You can't go wrong no matter what you order, because everything is 10/10 good. Only downside is the lines. They are VERY LONG. There is nothing you can do about the lines, but the wait is worth it read more

Amazing cooked from scratch food and good beer. Good music too I can't get enough of this.

Taco fest was held in a side of parking lot next to a Mexican flea market. There was about 5 food truck vendors and few small booth vendors. Parking: it was bit of an issue. I got lucky because I went there pretty early but by the time we were leaving so many cars were fighting over a spot. Food: we tried tacos from two different food trucks. They were all good. We didn't know which one to go so went for a longest line. Sorry I can't remember the names but mostly we enjoyed pork meat. One small booth served some freshly cut potatoes. It was really good. Location: it was nice how event was prepared outdoor and indoor seatings. I really appreciate everything was prepared there but there's a reason why I gave four stars instead of five. We sat inside which connects to the market since weather was bit chilly. And I saw something on the wall that I shouldn't have watched. Yes I saw a cockroach crawling on the wall. Luckily I saw it after we were all done eating but left the event right after. Event had a DJ playing music with up beat and a small bounce house for kids. There was also gave painting on the side for kids and grown ups. Hopefully next year, it can be held at a better location or on a separate day hope it can be held in Fishers. Price: price wasn't super crazy. At one truck we bought four tacos and a juice for $15. It was reasonable I thought. But i do recommend taking some cash in case their system breaks down. Overall I enjoyed my day out at Taco fest. read more

Indiana Discount Mall events almost always deliver. The music, the MCs, entertainment, bounce houses, and food are more than enough reasons why people flock to their outdoor block parties. They've even had ponies in the past! Parking is free albeit always hectic unless you get there early enough. 2019's Taco & Beer Fest was a hit. It fills my heart to see so much diversity at this event, from the vendors to the attendees. There were a lot more vendors this year and thank heavens it was not just limited to tacos; there were elotes stands, funnel cakes, hot dogs, frozen drinks in coconut heads, and so many treat vendors. El Venezolano Food truck made an appearance to my delight and lots of "Indy's favorite" spots also showed up! Delicias Jalisco was another vendor that came and it really made me appreciate how far the IDM and these places have come. They've established themselves in the community and I'm glad to see them supporting family friendly events like this! The patio section was available to grab a seat and eat while the live DJ played under a tent nearby. There also was Mexican folkloric dances going on in the indoor salon. Outside of the patio the food trucks and tents were safely corralled off from the hectic parking situation which made it great to stroll around until you made your choice(s). Overall another successful event with a variety of great diverse food and plenty of friendly faces there with the sole intention of having tasty snacks and a good time! read more

Located in the same parking lot as Saraga Market and the discount mall! Parking wasn't too bad. Fair warning that I came in expecting many food trucks but overall there was 5 or so. Enough to kill an hour or two trying all the food. Live music and indoor seating/performance area too read more

8-10 taco trucks show up every few weeks on the weekend at Indy Discount Mall. There is a covered area with tables and chairs for people to consume the tacos. At the front there is a stage where there's karaoke. By the side there is a mechanical bull, going at the same time as karaoke. Tacos, karaoke, mechanical bull. Hard to argue with that. read more

First time attending the Indy Taco Fest and we weren't disappointed! It's connected to the discount mall, (it's pretty much a flea market) and there are tons of Hispanic booths selling awesome stuff. They had a lot to offer like little kids jeeps, car speakers, cowboy hats and boots, clothes, quinceanera dresses, and communion outfits. At the back of the discount mall is a little restaurant that sells Mexican food. I ordered 2 steak tacos and a bottle of soda. It was about $4. The steak and toppings were very fresh and delicious. We were wondering where the "Taco Fest" part was located and we found it AFTER we ate the tacos inside of the mall. Sad face. Outside are about 10 food trucks selling drinks, elote, tacos, enchiladas, soups, and tons more. I didn't order any tacos from the trucks but I did have some of the best elote I've ever had! It didn't have too much mayo or cheese and the chile powder wasn't overbearing and it was only $3! I ordered a bahama mama from the drink truck and it came in a monkey cup that was also a piggy bank. The drink was $10. There are picnic tables with umbrellas in the middle of the trucks where you can sit and enjoy your food. There's also a "hall" that has a stage where we heard a couple of bands playing. You can sit and enjoy your food in the hall as well. There's also a bar that serves beer. I will definitely be back to the Taco Fest! read more

This jewel is located in the Indiana Discount Mall; once inside walk towards the right & go all the way to the back. You will find what I like to call a beer station back here, this is where we sat to eat once we made our way around... There are a few food trucks and other vendors set up with tables/stations outside this area. We had tacos from the tent directly in front of the exit leading to the outdoor area; two steak and two pork, $12. Both were pretty good, wish I would've tried the chorizo! They offer a few different toppings like onion and cilantro and also two different kinds of "hot sauce". The green one, I loved! I tasted jalapeño, onion, cilantro and lime in this one, for sure! It was the perfect amount of heat for me, probably a 6/10. My partner tried the orange and enjoyed it. Pretty sure it was habaneros because it made him sweat a little, haha. I enjoyed an ice cold Modelo and he had a piña colada (non-alcoholic). The colada was AMAZING! The MOST IMPORTANT food item to purchase is the Roasted Corn!!!!! It's to die for! It's roasted to perfection & covered in lime juice, butter, mayonnaise, their house seasoning and cheese. Not going to lie, we both had two! Definitely worth the $3. They offer live Hispanic music, I assume local bands? It was awesome to see them perform! Very enjoyable, it's great to be around good music when enjoying a good meal! Especially when it's relatable! There are also a few spots to eat inside the Mall. Unfortunately, we were toooo stuffed. There was a great crowd, glad to see Indy come out to support local business like that! There are lots of different vendors inside offering shoes, clothing, real gold and silver jewelry, home decor, barber shops, car accessories, phone accessories, manicures, tires/rims, sound equipment and much much much more! We will definitely be regulars! read more
