This place is authentic as it gets. They have a moderate amount of parking available at the small strip mall that this restaurant is located. You will find additional parking at adjacent strip mall down the hill that is connected by a small set of stairs. That lot is much larger. When you walk in the front door, it is kind of weird, you walk through the kitchen, to get to the dining area. I felt like I was walking into someone's home. The dining area is very colorful and is decent sized with an adequate amount of tables. They have a couple of televisions in the dining area playing Spanish music and Telemundo. They do not speak music English here, and I do not speak much Spanish, but we were able to communicate and make it work. The menu is all in Spanish so you may have to google what some items are, like I did, if you cannot read Spanish. I heard they give chips and bean dip with each table. I did not get any though. They must have forgot about me. The table next to me got it though. The dining area is very clean and there was one woman working the register, serving the tables and busing the tables while I was there. I ordered the Carne Asada, which came with grilled steak (carne asada), banana slices (tajadas de guineo), rice (arroz), and refried beans (frijoles). It took about 10 minutes or so to get my food. It came out warm, and tasted ok. I am not sure if it is a Honduran thing, but the banana slices were very dry and bland. The rice and refried beans were ok, nothing special. The steak though. was hot fire. It was very delicious and had lots of flavor. So, my meal as a whole was ok. It was edible, but I would not come back for that meal. I like venturing out and trying new things and this was definitely the spot to do that. I have not had much Honduran food so I can only judge this place against good food, not what I think Honduran food is supposed to taste like. I did not find my meal tasty. read more

I wanted to show this place some love since they haven't been reviewed in 5 years and it looks like things have changed. 1. My food was VERY flavorful! I had a baleada and tajadas with friend chicken. All of it had great seasoning and flavor. This is a small family run place, so the cashier was also our waitress. She was very friendly and attentive. 2. The food here is cooked to order, so there is a small wait. I'm happy to wait for fresh food. 3. They serve a warm bean dip with the chips that is very unique and tasty! My only suggestion: Fill the snack stand with unique items from Honduras. Chips, cookies, salsas, etc. read more

If you haven't stopped by at La Ceiba., you are missing out! I recently moved to the west side in this location is on a small strip getting off Rockville Rd. At the time I was pregnant and always would crave " pollo en tajas" omg it was delicious! I ordered mines with fries. I have done carry out from this restaurant as well as dining. When you go in for dining, they provide you with salsa and chips for appetizer. They have Authentic fresh waters! (Horchatas, agua de Jamaica, etc. ) read more

La Ceiba - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Very authentic. Menu had enough, not too much. A lot of spanish on the menu and a Latina soap opera on the TV. I went around 2p on a Monday. They serve the very spicy red and medium verde salsas w the chips, and I ordered queso, guac, & pico to go along w them. I'm actually not sure if the chips would have been brought without me ordering the other dips or not. The guacamole was very good, all of it was. I also ordered a small steak quesadilla. It was just meat and cheese, which I liked so I could add the pico & guac I had ordered as an appetizer. They don't have fountain drinks, they serve bottled beverages, including beer. The service was just okay. It's a small local restaurant nearby another place I frequent, so I will probably go back to try other menus items once I've tried all the other food establishments in the nearby area. read more

La Ceiba - a plate of mexican food and a bowl of salsa - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I love coming here they offer real authentic Central American food specializing in Honduran cuisine! The flavor is there every time! They never miss on the flavor and the amount of food you get is definitely worth the price they charge! My personal favorites are the "pollo con tajadas de pechuga" and the "súper baleada"! The real fruit juice they offer here are very refreshing my favorite "agua" to get here is "agua de mora, agua de maracuya and, agua de guanábana". Can't get any better than this! The salsa they serve with complimentary chips are so good it's like an American chilly but sweeter not sure what it's called but I can't get enough of it! This is a must see place! Only one thing I have somewhat negative to say about here is, if you order to pickup and they have your order ready make sure you check your whole order is correct there's been times I ordered something and they gave me a lot more food than I ordered must've mixed up the order tags I called back as I already made it home and let them know and they offered a full refund and free meal next time I come back which was nice! But it has happened more than once that they've messed up my order. The interior is somewhat tacky and boring I love the mural they have of their hometown beach but that's the only cool thing to look at in there. read more

We planned on visiting a Honduran restaurant at this address called Sazon Catracho. Upon reaching it, however, we discovered that Sazon Catracho was no more...it is now La Ceiba, catering both Honduran and Mexican cuisine. Sazon Catracho was intended to be our first experience with comida hondureña...La Ceiba it was. This review is really intended more to put this place out there and say "hey, La Ceiba exists!" than to actually review it, especially considering we had never tried Honduran food before and this is presumably a new restaurant. So please give them a try even though this is only a 3 star review! I had noticed from looking at other Honduran places that baleadas were a common food, so I chose to order the most simple variety, which they called the baleada cencillos. It had beans and cheese...from that point on I don't know what was in it. I thought it was sour cream before I started eating it but I'm pretty sure it was some sort of cheese sauce. It was pretty good, but I'm not entirely sure if it was actually intended to be eaten by hand or not...our waitress didn't give us any silverware and she delivered the dishes as they were ready instead of all at once so who knows! It was kind of awkward to eat, but I enjoyed it...the tortilla (or tortilla-like-bread) of the baleada was very thick...thicker than a pupusa. My mom had another variety of baleada, the megabaleada...and boy was it mega. It was huge. It had a mega assortment of ingredients as well: sausage, beef, beans, cheese, avocado...and probably some other stuff. The issue with it was that the beef (essentially the most abundant ingredient) was not good. Otherwise it was ok, but that kinda ruined it. My dad had some odd concoction on a plate that had ground beef, lettuce, various sauces and other ingredients I honestly couldn't name. Don't know what the dish was called either, sorry! (I uploaded a photo, however.) My dad thought it was ok. The beef was good in this dish. He also got tamarindo to drink, which was tasty. I really still don't know how to feel about this place...is this what all Honduran places are like? There were some things about it that shouted "we're new"...the warm, iceless water we were served, the too-loud mariachi music mingled with the occasional cut-in from Squidward and SpongeBob on the TV, the fact that the waitress hovered over us while we decided what to order and while we got out money to pay with (she was fine otherwise)...those elements were a little off-putting. But at the same time, the place also gave off some of the positive vibes of a great Latin American restaurant in the making: the signs plastered everywhere about their special soups and other dishes, the eclectic Honduran decor, the expansive menu...it was probably what I would define as a "hole in the wall." Give it a try! Like I said, I'm not entirely sure if we really ordered what we should have (didn't have enough time to pore over the menu ahead of time since we didn't know Sazon Catracho would be gone!), and in hindsight it probably wasn't a good idea to go to a restaurant with 0 reviews, 0 photos, and no menu...but hey, gotta take chances. And I think it worked out, just not like we were thinking it would. I wouldn't get the megabaleada. That's really my only major advice here. read more

Hands down! Best Mexican in Indy! Authentic and great service! Don't be fooled by decor...

Crummy interior, smells like stale Pine Sol cleaner. There were no paper towels in the bathroom so I had to dry my hands with toilet paper. The meat in the carne asada baleada was very greasy/oily and didn't have much flavor. The food is uninspired. I'm not sure they're used to people staying there to eat. The waitress disappeared into the kitchen after she brought the food and never came back out. read more

Terrible. All of the food was extremely bland with no flavor or salt to speak of. All of my coworkers felt the same and we all ordered different dishes. read more
