Big combo, El Compadre in Mitchell is excellent! I ate there twice in this past week as I'm visiting from Central California. I grew up in Columbus and on my occasional trips here, I search far and wide for authentic Mexican food. El Compadre has a small section on the menu for actual Mexican food, not whitewashed, bland food like most of the other restaurants. Hands down, it's worth the trip. I ordered adobo chicken taco and a carne asada taco with a side of rice. The food was deliciously spiced, served piping hot and just the right amount of salt and flavor in the rice. The corn tortillas were fresh and perfectly warmed. The music playing at the visit during lunch was a reggaeton. The decor is lovely and lively and overall a clean appearance. Bedford, Paoli and a few others have an El Compadre. I highly recommend for REAL tasting Mexican food.

Chips and salsa brought out for the table get two thumbs up. I ordered Arroz con Pollo, which was grilled chicken over rice with a cheese sauce.

They have an interesting parking lot here and it usually feels a bit congested. But there usually are spots to be found no matter how busy they are. The go to order for my family is the ACP chicken which is basically chicken on the beach or Mexican rice loaded with chicken strips and smothered in queso. What's better than that?! Another family favorite is the chicken and steak fajita mix. It comes with rice and beans as well as several tortillas and lettuce, guacamole, pico and sour cream. Any order placed whether in the Resturant or carry out is served with fresh crispy tortilla chips and their amazing salsa. The salsa is sweet with just a hint of spice and I could seriously put it on everything! Definitely recommend stopping in here for a meal if you are ever in the Odon area! They do have a sister Resturant in Bloomfield as well with the same great service and food!

On our road trip from Virginia, we ended up staying 2 nights at a hotel in Jasper, IN. Looking for…read moresomething that wasn't "road food", we found Retro Mexico on an internet search. We pulled in on a Sunday evening around 6:00 and the parking lot was packed, always a good sign. The vibe of this place is incredible. Rather than fill the dining room with all the Mexican tropes most do, here the owner leaned into a party vibe. Bright and bold pop art portraits of pop music stars, Mexican wrestling mask art, and a pop music soundtrack from 70s-90s. The menu is also different. Of course there are some of the traditional dishes you would expect, but the menu also pops with some great twists and unexpected combinations of flavors. In fact we loved our meal so much, we left the Holiday World theme park early so we could eat there again before heading home. They were even busier on a Monday night! We recommend the Foxxy Chopped Salad, the Ponata salad, the Chicken Mole (yummm) and the Steak Bowl. We didn't see a single thing come out of the kitchen we wouldn't have eaten. The staff could not have been friendlier. The owner was working the bar the first night we were there and came over to talk to us. He really want everyone to have a great time when in his restaurant. If you happen to find yourself in Jasper, check them out.

Some folks seem to think they can bully a free meal from restaurants with bad Yelp reviews. Others have never left a five star review, ever. The Monday and Tuesday nights we were at Los Bravos the restaurant was full of local families, something you won't see at a place that doesn't offer good food at a good value. Dinner for two was $30 and $40 plus tip, not including a cold Corona on a Hot!! southern Indiana summer day. Overall, as good a meal and dining experience as I've had in "white table cloth" Mexican restaurants at 2-3x $$ in much larger midwestern cities.

The salsa was tasty perfect, the blueberry margarita excellent, and the food great. But on June 12, 2026 it was the opposite. It wasn't authentic Mexican at all, but instead tasted Tex Mex or German Mex, with no accent on flavor for the tongue, and instead just salt and pepper, with the most coarse pepper you could get, the sort that has no flavor on the palate, but scorches the throat. Those of us who were brought up on this "hot but not spicy German style food" have our throats destroyed and we have acid reflux of the esophagus. My tonsils were removed before I started school. The drinks were okay, and the rice was pretty good, but the only spices were salt and pepper. So, it may depend on who the cook is. I didn't feel comfortable there.
