    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. )

    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.

    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.

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.

We were seated in their outdoor area where the heaters were not turned on and the day had been rainy and cold so most of the table was cold throughout our meal. The service was a bit slow but it being cinco de mayo, we understood that things may move a little slower than any other day. They had some specials for the day but I got my old faithful, Maria's Enchiladas with steak. It comes with rice and beans and it's just so so soooo good!!! I also got the Arroyo Margarita which was good but def could tell they were adding a bit more sour mix to the drink. Overall, it was a good experience but I will try to come back again on a day that is not as busy.

Even with the rush, I was able to snag a seat quite quickly. I was so impressed by how efficiently the staff cleared and prepared my table; it's those little touches of attentiveness that really make a difference. I decided to keep things classic and ordered the Asada Tacos. The service was remarkably swift my order arrived in under ten minutes, which is exactly the kind of efficiency I adore. While the initial presentation was a bit more understated than I anticipated, the flavor was a total 8/10 triumph! The staff was also incredibly accommodating when it came to my preferences; they brought over a lovely selection of chips and sauces, but were perfectly gracious when I mentioned I prefer to avoid the heat. These are truly some of the best tacos I've had the pleasure of trying lately. I will most certainly be a regular here!

I don't know how else to explain it. The queso is delicious. They have a salsa bar, and I'm not joking when I say there are a lot of delicious homemade salsas on the salsa bar. You have to buy a basket of chips, but it's very inexpensive and so worth it for the salsa bar! Lastly, the Al pastor is the bomb. The inside is really nice, the owners are so gracious and remember us when we come back each time. Don't sleep on this place--it's perfect for a weekday dinner or a weekend date night!

We ordered a great variety of tacos, the chips a three drippings (guacamole, salsa, queso) and margaritas (made them skinny - without sugar). The waitress was very fun too. The restaurant itself is close to Gainbridge fieldhouse and is decked out in a fun way with a bar area that has some cool arcade games, a dining area and a cool vibe all around. The only issue was the check. We could not get our check for a while and then it was hard get someone to take our payment. I felt trapped and really needed to leave. We were trying to pay for an hour. The table next to us seemed to be getting a lot of attention, but something was up and we got home super late.

Guac and chips: 9.3/10 -- delish!!! creamy and flavorful i looooved this guac down but i minus points bc the avocado was not fully mashed and i think the texture was a little off bc of it. would absolutely still come back and get this though. Classic virgin marg: 9/10 -- everything i love about a marg minus the tequila (sorry) yeah sign me up! Limited menu but it is clearly perfected. Tacos are $4.50 ea so it is easy to get a couple and try different flavors. Loved the concept and vibes inside but it was hard to take pics in the lighting. Low exposure is a camera setting not a light setting please add lamps (kind of joking loool) anyways.... so! Plenty of parking on mass ave and easy to walk over from most places downtown. Service was okayyyy nothing crazy. I'd recommend a reservation for dinner bc they get busy! did not realize they have locations in OH, MI, and PA.

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.
