So happy they opened a downtown location!! This is an upscale Mexican restaurant. They have an elevated flair on the standard Mexican dishes and very large portions! They have seating inside and outside. Right now they don't take reservations. They have a full bar (no draft options though). Great margs, fun cocktail options and beer bottles as well as wine! Food was delicious. We went the week they opened so they are still figuring out a few things but was super impressed how great the staff was, how good the food and drinks where. We will be back! Also, they give chips and salsa for the table (always a win in my book) read more

Certainly surpassed expectations which were not low in the first place. This and festiva are in their own league as top tier "high end" mexican cuisine. Authentic menu. Everything that was ordered was good, some of the dishes (pasole, sope, pastor taco) were magnificent. The pasole in particular, which can at times feature "fatty" meat that can bring down quality of the flavor, possessed high quality white meat chicken with great balance of spice and lime citrus. Served with thick house made corn tortillas, was an enjoyable meal to say the least. The tacos are also on house tortillas (thinner kind), while the sope thick house made corn cake with toppings. Guacamole very lime and tomato forward and was made fresh, but did lack spice normally provided by jalapeños (would ask for jalapeños added if prefer spice to quac). Shrimp ceviche was solid, but was overshadowed by quality of other dishes. Service was fantastic. Our waiter had good recs and also knew the tequila menu (which is expansive) well. Would be great if they offered tequila flights with quality of selection. He also made cocktail, "skinny" marg with our choice of tequila and did not disappoint. Prices seem high when looking at menu if thinking this is simply run of the mill Mexican. The quality of the ingredients and the house made from scratch method of making all of the dishes warrants the prices though. This is not just a reincarnation of other "fancyish/stylish" americanized Mexican such as others downtown (agave and rye, social cantina, condado, etc). Food is truly authentic, nuanced and high quality justifying the price. Highly recommend. I will definitely be returning and am excited about addition to downtown! read more

Quick summary: Had the privilege of being invited to the soft opening of the Mass Ave location! Fresh, flavorful and original food; margaritas are phenomenal. Staff is so friendly, helpful and makes you feel like family. Warm, clean and welcoming environment. Absolutely must try if you haven't been; prices are a bit on the high side for Mexican food. Deeper dive: My wife, kids and I are regulars at the Carmel location. I lived in Texas and grew up around Mexicans and this is undoubtedly the best Mexican food in Indy. One thing Los Arroyos does especially well is keeping the same employees and they really see each other as family. Enough times eating there, and they'll treat you the same way! In terms of the food, it's always fresh and their salsas are on point and they have lots of different options if you ask; mild all the way up to making you tear up. A few must have items: -Top shelf guacamole -Skinny margarita -Tacos Gobernador -Molcajete -Chocolate churros -Asada a la Norteña The negatives: I do think that the prices are on the high side especially in comparison to other Mexican restaurants in Indy. With that being said, I genuinely believe you get what you pay for. The only other negative is that, as of now, there isn't any outdoor seating. The bottom line: It's not the "hippest" place on Mass Ave but if you want great food, fantastic drinks, wonderful service and a comfortable environment, you gotta come to Los Arroyos. I'm biased and it's for good reason; it's just a great restaurant! read more

Service was quick and efficient. The place was nice and well decorated. The portion sizes were HUGE. I saved over half my burrito to have for lunch the next day. The guacamole was fresh and excellent as well. I loved the variety they offer on the menu, including some great fish options like Ahi Tuna. I think that sets them apart and makes them worth going to back to try more unique items. :) read more

I'm a big fan of this restaurant's Carmel location, but this visit downtown was disappointing! We arrived before a concert and were one of only a few tables the entire time. Service was very slow, even getting a drink order took quite a while. I asked for a little oil on the fajitas, but they came out drenched. I still left a 20% tip because I've waited tables and understand the job, but it was hard to justify with the level of service we received. read more

I was extremely disappointed in the food overall. I ordered the enchiladas and they were hard, rubbery and cold. The meat lacked seasoning in both my dish and my husbands. The drinks were great though. read more

I had pretty low expectations because we were able to easily get a table on a Saturday night at the downtown location. How can a good restaurant in a good location have availability? But, we were pleasantly surprised at how great the food and the service were. Our server helped us make our drink and food decisions, and everything was spot-on. I had the enchiladas and they were amazing. We also loved the guacamole. We will definitely return! read more

Great prompt friendly service. Has a sleek modern contemporary feel, not your typical Mexican restaurant. Margaritas were fresh and delicious, the food was all very fresh. Will definitely return. Will try margaritas on a Monday for the special. read more

Best arroz con pollo in Indy! Expensive and the other entrees are just mediocre. But mannnn that arroz con pollo will have me coming back. Mouth is watering just thinking about it. Little expensive but cmon ur on Mass Ave what'd you expect. And they load you up with portions , could definitely make two meals out of it. CPD ratio is high with all that meat and cheese. 8.8/10 read more

My girlfriend and I went out for a date night to Los Arroyos and we did not have the best experience. After we were seated, it's almost as if they had forgotten they seated us and it took them about 15 minutes to bring out the chips and take our drink order. Another server who wasn't our server apologized on the restaurant's behalf stating that they were busy although there were other empty tables and no wait time to be seated. After we got our drinks and placed our order for the chicken taquitos dorados as an appetizer and the rib eye fajitas as our main dish we tried the chip and salsa. The chips were great they tasted fresh but the red salsa was very watery and flavorless and I wasn't sure what the other salsa was but it tasted flavorless as well. The red salsa tasted like tomatoes that were thrown into a blender and watered down. The chicken taquitos dorados were almost flavorless, somewhat cold on the inside, they did not taste authentic or made in house they tasted like the frozen ones you buy in the grocery store. As for our main dish, we were very disappointed because the ribeye was flavorless it could have used at least salt. The peppers and onions had slightly a bit more flavor than the rib eye and that says a lot by itself. It came with a side of rice and beans which were not flavorful as well. The restaurant's vibe and decor was nice but, we have been to several Mexican restaurants and unfortunately with the way Los Arroyos present itself as a restaurant with "Extraordinary meals and exceptional service provided by their outstanding team" I would have to disagree given the food is not extraordinary as it lacks flavor and authenticity and the customer service is not exceptional. read more

Great ambiance, great service, good food, great date spot! There's also paid street parking and close to walkable shops that you can check out before after having meals/drinks! They can also have any drink on the menu as a mocktail read more

Made this my lunch choice for today with a friend of mine whom I owed a lunch date from her birthday. The resturant is a small cute modern establishment with beautiful tequila on display behind the bar from moderate to premium pours. We both settled on the arroz con pollo, while we waited they served good chips and salsa: one red salsa and one dark green salsa and they were both amazing! When the food arrived the presentation was on point, but it lacked queso! Our server didn't come back to check on us until after 75% of our food was gone. We watched her take the table next to us order (literally next to us we shared a booth seat) and she didn't even look over to us. I'd never wanted to stiff someone on a tip but today was almost the day, however I just couldn't because I've worked in the industry before. We asked for more queso for the dish and was charged $6 I was not very happy with that. The food overall was good, but dry as it lacked queso which the dish is served with. I'll be back to try Margaritas which will be by deciding factor on of I will add this into my lunch rotation. Hoping to be able to update my review in the future. read more

The food was delicious. I had the mango ceviche! But the service could have been better. No one asked me how my meal was or if I needed anything. The atmosphere was a bit off. The restaurant looked very clean. read more

Los Arroyos - Shrimp ceviche with mango and radishes. - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We got carry out via door dash this evening. Ordered chicken fajita and side of guacamole. Food was good but when received the order there was no silverware and no sour cream, beans, rice or guacamole that comes with fajita. Wasn't door dashes problem but they gave small refund which they didn't have to do. Really ruined the meal without the fajita condiments. Also the salsas were very small for amount of chips. read more

Los Arroyos - Small cup of salsa - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Truly amazing experience eating at Los Arroyos (downtown Indianapolis location)! This is the best Mexican cuisine I've had in Indy. The ingredients are fresh and all the dishes are chef-made and wonderful. The shrimp and octopus ceviche and the Arroyos Molcajete are must-haves (tip: the molcajete easily serves two!). The margs are also the best around. They have really good weekly specials that make this an easy go-to on weeknights, but it's amazing enough to impress for special occasions. My husband and I tell so many people about this place because we think it's really THAT good. read more

Meh. Not great. While the portion of food was pretty good, it had little taste. For the price I was disappointed. Very bland. Won't return. read more

Was celebrating dinner on my own for my birthday! Food was amazing. I could tell everything was homemade right down to chips and salsa. Tried the seasonal special with Chicken Anaheim, simply amazing. It came with corn tortillas, yes made from scratch. Blood orange margarita, if you like spice you will love this. Service was good, just sat at the bar which was small but quaint read more

Delightful experience. Everything seemed made there. "Maria's Enchiladas" with chicken are a fresh take on a traditional dish--not gloppy. Sopes were good too. Two excellent salsas. Looks to have a large tequila selection ; regular margarita was good. Airy, modern room. Attentive service. Properly priced. read more

The food is very good but the service is very, very slow. Have been three times now and the same slow service/lack of staff each time which is why I am only giving three stars. read more

We love this place. The langostino quesadillas (which I think are seasonal, but on the menu as of May, 2024) are terrific - carmelized onions, perfectly poached meat, fresh avocado slices, crispy homemade flour tortillas. Seriously, could eat those every day. The enchilada rojas with grilled steak were just like what you'd expect in north Texas - soft, cheesy, great red sauce. Kids enjoyed the Arroz Con Pollo. Pro-tip get a couple of orders of the thick homemade corn tortillas to go with your queso appetizer. You won't regret it. (I'm normally not this gushing about restaurant reviews, but these bring back childhood memories of El Chico's and Chi-Chi's). The owners are really sweet and very attentive. read more

I came here specifically for the crab enchiladas which I called about a week before having able to come in for dinner. The crab enchiladas were lacking in crab and flavor and severely overpriced for enchiladas with very little stuffing. (They were actually flat!) the green sauce was great and the only thing that saved my overpriced tortillas with a little crab. But the service was the worst. They weren't busy. Only two tables and two people at the bar. I asked for a window seat and they acted put out by my request. After being seated by a different person whom I told I was ready to order. She left and another third employee brought me my drink. And then I waited. No one came to bring me chips and salsa. And since it was my first time in I didn't kno if they served them but every other Mexican restaurant does so I checked the other tables and they had chips. So I looked for wait staff The three employees were by the food window chatting. No one looked my way. No one was busy making chips and salsa. So I waited and waited Finally raised my hand to get attention. No one was at the bar. No one was up front. Finally the guy who brought me my drink (sprite) came over and I had to ask for chips and I asked if I could get them and why was I being singled out and ignored. They then brought my overpriced and underwhelming crab enchiladas out. The black beans were overcooked and the taco shell they came in soaked up most of them and the rice was undercooked. Such a sad experience when I called days before and was so excited to treat myself to dinner only to leave crying and upset. They didn't charge me )thank god( but only after she kept offering me a gift card and I told her I would not be coming back. And why would I? The service was atrocious and the food was mediocre even tho $22 is not a mediocre meal price. And $4 for a fountain drink?!?! What in the world are you thinking??? You overcharge for bland food and no customer service. So disappointed in my entire experience. read more

Went there over the NBA All-Star weekend, anticipating that I would not be able to get in, but we were able to get seated right away likely because we were early in any event we had a great meal. The drinks are fire honestly some of the best margaritas I've ever had, and we also had the Paul I think it was which was great made with mescal. It's basically a Paloma made with mescal as well as the skinny spicy margarita. Highly recommended. The only disappointment to be honest is that the chips seemed a little stale and the chunky guacamole was really just avocado cut up. I would've preferred the regular guacamole. Had I known that but otherwise everything was good, we had the house special special which is the dish served in the hot crockpot. It fails me now with the name of in any event I will be back. read more

The food, service and value was incredible. The freshness of everything was so good. Gabby our server was so friendly and helpful. Answered all the questions and even provided insight when we were undecided. Can't wait to go back. read more

Food was slightly on the saltier side but still good. I stood at the hostess stand for an uncomfortably long time without even a "hey someone will be with you in a moment" but a few employees looked directly at me. So.

The restaurant was very cozy and comfy with outdoor heated seating. Wow oh wow the drinks were beautiful but the taste was over the top. Being from Texas and a Latino the food was very flavorful and authentic just to start. Just a heads up the plates are huge and very filling from the ceviche to the ribeye tacos!! The staff was very attentive and helpful with the menu! Thank for a great experience read more

I was hanging out with a some friends at 16-bit, and we were in the mood to try something new. We decided on Los Arroyos, both and my girlfriend had Arroz Con Pollo. It was very underwhelming compared to when I had it in order restaurants. Everyone at the table had horchata, and like the arroz con pollo it disappointed when compared to other places. My blood orange margarita wasn't great, and neither was her sangria. Our friend had the fajitas, which he enjoyed. However he didn't enjoy his margarita. We shared churros and flan which we all agreed was the best part of our meal. In closing the dessert, service and queso dip were the highlights of our meal. read more

Already a fan of Los Arroyos, decided to check out the downtown Indy location for dinner. We did sit outside, which is nice but there is A LOT of traffic noise. Not recommended if you're really trying to have conversation. Had my favorite skinny Cadillac margarita and arroz con pollo, so good! Glad everything is still good at each location! Service is always so friendly and on top of it. Don't forget there is two hour retail parking in the Ardmore garage right next to the restaurant! Will definitely be back, seated inside read more

Amazing food, you won't be disappointed , the service was excellent and the ambiance was to great . I ordered the ceviche along with the top shelf avocado dip , for dinner we got the Molcajete , all the food was to die for. I'm from Chicago so I know what good Mexican food is. read more

We have been patrons of Los Arroyos since it opened. The service was and has always been atrocious, but the food was a redeeming factor. After several recent experiences with grotesque service, including a nasty manager, we have decided to no longer ever frequent this establishment. No food is worth being treated badly or waiting for over an hour after ordering your food to get served. An hour to hour and a half experience took three hours today. Inexcusable. My money is worth the hard work I spent earning it. If people want my money they need to earn it - deserve it. This establishment has lost many customers as of tonight. Bad idea to bite the hand that feeds you. This establishment needs to learn manners, hospitality, service etiquette, and appreciation. read more

Chips and guac to start with were great. Our meals (3 of us) were disappointing. The salmon my wife had was dry and somewhat fishy on the edges. The enchilada plates - 2 different offerings - my son and I had were very mediocre. Disappointing given the high rating that lead us to this restaurant. Would not go back. read more

The ceviche is excellent! I strongly recommend it. And whatever the other salsa you get with the chips is dangerously addictive.

Good food! Great service! Nice clean looking restaurant. They have the best corn tortillas and Churros.

excelente menú el servicio muy agradable y muy ameno el ambiente muy recomendable si quieren una muy buena comida
