Great experience. Nice folks. Quick service. Music not too loud, and upbeat. Now for the food. I opted for the Steak Fajitas. These were the best fajitas I've had in many many years. With a side of rice and refried beans, I almost finished it all but I was full. I wish I could visit this place often but I'm in from NY and only come back to this area once a year. This place is worth looking forward to. Oh, and the prices are very reasonable. A+ read more

La Guanaquita #2 - Steak Fajitas (Excellent!) - Salvadoran Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Sobre este lugar es que cuando te dan el ticket para pagar, ya te incluyen la propina y aparte. Dice que uno tiene que dar propina cuando vas a pagar con tarjeta el 10 el 15 o el 20% y uno sin mirar el ticket de tonto viene y le pone más propina sin darte cuenta que te están cobrando de más. Me quedé con un mal sabor de boca ahí en este lugar así de que fíjense primero antes de pagar, porque le están cobrando la propina. De mas osea el doblé Creo que no es justo porque en total estaba dejando 25 dólares casi de propina cuando nomás tenía que dejar 12 dólares. read more

This place is just scrumptious! I never had pupusas prior to this restaurant and I'm so happy I've tried them! They were so yummy! The pork, the pork, the pork just set it off! The highlight of the dish. So flavorful, seasoned just right. The cheese was melty and yet the outside had a sight crisp. Which for me is just what I look for different flavor and texture combinations and this delivered that! The he slaw on the side was a perfect fresh element to the richness. I would highly recommend! read more

So delicious! No Tex-mex Mexican food, huge plus! Las pupusas están para chuparse los dedos. Los sopes are excellent. Chilaquiles nice and spicy. I've never had something I didn't like here. And the service is always great. read more

You gotta love this Place. Unassuming from the outside, much bigger on the inside. Booths and tables, small and large available. You can even find a bar in here. The menu is quite extensive. My recommendation is to try the pupusas, which are served with a tasty tomato sauce in a squirt bottle along with a sort of spicy slaw, not creamy, hard to describe other than delish. The plantains are yummy here. Nicely done and a generous portion. For a cold night I highly recommend a big hot chocolate. You won't be disappointed with that at all. Just be careful, it is served piping hot, don't burn yourself. For your first visit I suggest one of the various sampler platters. This way you can sample a lot of items from the menu and then decide on your favorites. And the staff is always happy to explain the various items to you. The portions are generous and the prices quite reasonable. read more

Super impressed by the food in this establishment. Family owned, authentic and quaint, this El Salvadorian restaurant makes very good pupusas. The cortida is the best I've ever had and draws me back for more! read more

Cuidado! Cuidado! Los gandallas se auto dan propina del 18% segun por ser una mesa de 5. Para empesar mi mesa era de 3 niños y dos adultos, lo cual nomas sirvieron 3 platos. La Propina tiene que ser opcional dependiendo el servicio al cliente. Muy muy mal! read more

Well, well, well, that Colombian feast of a breakfast was mighty delicious. For starters, it definitely serves two people (with food to spare). So, don't let the higher price tag scare you away. The meal included flanked steak, an arepa, sweet plantains, savory plantains, rice and beans, cheese and cream, and most importantly, chicharrones (the bigger chunk style - similar to carnitas). It was such a feast! Perfect for a picnic on a chilly winter day. We also ordered guacamole and chips. I'm glad we ordered the guacamole because the freshness of the guac paired beautifully with some of the heavier meats and ingredients in the Colombian breakfast. The only thing we were missing was a big serving of coffee to top it all off. Note that this place is bustling! Super busy on a midday Sunday. We placed our carryout order and then popped over to the neighboring Mexican grocery store and Mexican bakery. Fair warning: it ended up taking about 40 minutes for our food to be ready. The only thing that turned us off a little here was the communal pots of curtido at each table that were used by multiple rounds of diners. Not the most COVID/cootie-friendly setup. All that to say, we look forward to future carryout orders and Colombian breakfast feasts. read more

Everything was excellent! Food, service and ambiance were outstanding! Would highly recommend the Papusas.

I stopped in here with my best friend for lunch, first let me say the portion of food I got is massive. Second they are super friendly here. I got a combo type meal which to me normally is a bad idea, but here it was amazing. I got to try a little bit of everything and by a little bit, I mean more than should be allowed on one plate for one person. This could have been easily shared with another. This is truly one of those places where you come and plan to share the meal. I love Plantains and this plate offered normal plantains and a plantain pie, OMG (yep I put that is a review) I so need to learn how to make this. It was truly the best thing that has happened on a plate of food. I will gladly come back here again, and again. Okay lets be honest here, I live 2 hours away and I am already planning to drive back over just so I can eat here. If you are in the area and don't try this place don't blame me. read more

La Guanaquita #2 - A huge plate of yummy food. - Salvadoran Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

In quest of the finest taco in Indiana, tried this unreviewed little restaurant just off Girls School road on the west side. The repurposed strip mall has seen better days but we were delighted by the clean interior of the little restaurant decorated with live plants and items from El Salvador. Seating is mostly booths. There were about 20 tables inside. Our server, Jiman, was friendly and attentive as we worked our way through the menu. He brought us water with lime and complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was hot and spicy and woke up my tastebuds. We ordered a chicken and a steak taco each. And also an order of sweet corn tamales. The food came out quickly and hot. The traditional street tacos were served with meat and topped with onions and fresh cilantro and served with large juicy lime wedges. The roasted chicken was juicy and flavorful. The steak taco was good as well. Both were served on white corn tortillas. The tacos were excellent....and filling. The sweet corn tamales were (no kidding) sweet like a dessert. They were served hot. There was no filling but the tamale was rich with corn. Sour cream was included for dipping. The tamales were not traditionally what I expected but excellent. I will dream about those tamales. You must try at least once. They serve beer and drinks but we did not try. They have a full menu of interesting options including breakfast. Prices range from inexpensive to higher. We will be back and perhaps regulars! read more

La Guanaquita #2 - Chorizo pupusa, plantain empanada, tamale de elote,and Jamica juice. - Salvadoran Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

ALERT! ALERT! This food hits the right places! I can't elaborate on how delighted my taste buds are everytime I eat food here (especially their pupusas). As for the service, I considered them to be polite and present the food in a very well mannered way. A very welcoming place, tho depending if they are busy or not their might be some waiting. As for the atmosphere, I can't elaborate on how close it hits to home. Please take into consideration this is from my experience alone. I enjoy the restaurant and the community from it! This is my ONLY go to place for Salvadoran food! read more

Amazing food and comfortable atmosphere Was craving papusas and they were the best I've had. We will definitely be back. read more

Their professors are great............ that being said they are the most RACIST and unprofessional restaurant I've ever been to. I frequent this restaurant and every time I've been in there I paid a different price. Multiple times I've asked for itemized receipts. Most recently I went in there and ordered my original order but doubled it, normally I pay 11 something for three papusas this time I paid 40 for six...... and the best part is they can't give you an itemized receipt because everything is a " custom order". I really hate restaurants like this because their food is great I would go back but the service is just terrible and so rude and impolite read more

Food was great! The bar tender very friendly. Looks sketchy on the outside but the inside is huge, a bit outdated but clean with a bar in the back. I tried the Pupusas, tamal de elote and a large cantarito and everything was superb I will definitely return and recommend for the best Pupusas in town. read more

This hidden gem is in a strip mall off of Rockville Rd. I worked nearby for years but never noticed it, but I'm glad I finally went. I am not a picky eater so I got a sampler platter and figured I'd get to taste a lot and it would all be good - I was right. It was about $15 but easily enough for two people, with plantains, yucca, two savory fried hand pies, a cheese papusa, pork chunks, a piece of cheese, slaw, a tamale, sour cream, and some fresh vegetables. Sodas come in a can (I'm OK with this), and the free chips and salsa are pretty "meh" (I'm also OK with this - they're free!). Not all staff is fluent in English, which doesn't really matter unless you ask for details. When I had questions about the food, they brought out a warm and friendly lady who did speak English (the chef, perhaps?) and she was able to tell me about everything on my plate, and how it was unique to El Salvador. Overall, a fun food adventure and I definitely want to go back. Nothing was spicy, if that is something that is important to you. read more

Great little Salvadorian restaurant just South of US Hwy 36 on the West side of Girls School Rd. Very casual location in a small strip mall with plenty of parking. This was my first visit and the restaurant was very nicely decorated for Christmas. Reasonably priced drinks and food. To start I had a mango Margarita on the rocks which hit the spot. Other folks ordered fruit waters, sodas made with cane sugar and hot chocolate. I had the appetizer nachos which were large enough to be a meal so I boxed most of them up to bring home to enjoy tomorrow. The pupusas come in 2 sizes and I ordered the larger version. The pupusa encasing the Salvadorian sausage and cheese filling had a fresh corn taste and although flatter than other pupusas I've had it was soft with just a touch of exterior crispness...yum! Several folks in my party ordered a combo plate that literally was platter sized and came with a nice selection of Salvadorian foods. Service was friendly and wait staff patiently answered our questions. We were all full so we skipped dessert but there were several choices on the menu. Don't be put off by the non-trendy location and give them a try. read more

Probably the worst burrito I've had in Indianapolis. The meat was unpalatable. It was more like Salsbury steak than Asada. Fatty and overshined by the rice smh. I will probably never eat her again, but if I do, it'll be chicken. The service was nice and sweet. Salsas were good too. read more

BEST authentic Central American restaurant hands down!! Looks pretty sketchy when entering at first. It's your typical definition of "hole in the wall". Every single thing is delicious and I honestly cannot complain at all about any dish. Service is outstanding and friendly. Never had an issue in over 5 years of coming. My one and only complaint which is more personal rather than in general is they keep raising the prices randomly. DONT look here for menu prices. You'll just have to find out when you arrive OR call ahead! I don't know how many times I've been here but every 6 months I find out something else cost more. They deserve every penny, don't get me wrong! But I've had to apologize many times over to friends, co-workers & relatives for "mis" quoting item prices. Just call up or arrive ready to spend a little more than what you did 6 months ago. I don't splurge here but still very worth it for once in a while! read more

I dont know why this place is not reviewed at all BUT THIS WOULD BE MY FAV PLACE! It is decently priced, it is so tasty! Omg, those pupusas would be the reason to go to Indy to me. Definitely try, you wont regret it at all. read more

I had never had Salvadorian food when I walked in the door out of pure curiosity. I walked out completely stuffed and SOOOO sorry I hadn't tried it sooner. Our waitress had to give my friend and me a little help ordering, but that just made it more fun. The pupusas had me addicted on the first bite. The menu is extensive, with something for everyone, and the food is breathlessly fresh and flavorful. The menu is in Spanish, so if you don't speak Spanish, bring a friend who does, or, like me, beg for help from the servers, but honestly, I think you could just close your eyes and drop your finger on the menu and get a wonderful meal. read more

Food was fresh, hot, and super tasty. I had my favorite Salvadorian dish "Pupusas Revueltas". A little pricey but the food was worth it all were a nice size and not at all greasy. I also tried something new I've never heard of called nuegado con chíllate. This dish I found to be way over priced for just 3 small pieces and 1 small drink. read more

This is an el Salvadorian restaurant and I'm in love! If you've never had a pupusa, you are missing out and need to visit here IMMEDIATELY!!! Fried Dough with cheese and meat of your choice inside is just the start. Then you get to add a fabulous, tangy, spicy cole slaw-ish condiment. Mmmmm.... it's crunchy, chewy, cheesy goodness! So many different textures and flavors that burst in your mouth. They have a large variety of other items, but I always come back to these. The fried yucca with fried eggs are fantastic and then there are the chicken pies. More delicious goodness. It's a different kind of fried dough with chicken. Who knew there were so many different ways to make fried dough and chicken? I've not tried the sandwiches but apparently they are authentic el Salvadorian and come in a variety. read more
