Incredible food, fast and friendly service. Had a wonderful meal with the whole family.

Go to Macizo and eat something delicious instead of going to some corporate place and having an underwhelming experience. Went for lunch on a weekday and there were too many empty seats for the quality of food the kitchen is putting out. A woman seated us who was very passionate about the menu, the fresh baked bread, & the drink options. The purple horchata was as tasty as it was beautiful. Our server was quick to come take our order; molletas for me and taco de norteño for my date. Both dishes were A+ and we could only begin planning our return to sample more of the menu. The molletas were served on a lightly toasted heavenly piece of focaccia, which was topped with melted cheese, out-of-this-world beans, a punch of pickled red onion, and a link of chorizo from Smoking Goose that was perfectly seared. The place is really well decorated with green walls and wicker light shades. The bar has such cool lighting, I want it for my home. There are great "hombre" decorations throughout the space. Every detail feels intentional and thought out. I cannot wait to come back. read more

Cute as a button! Macizo is the eldest daughter of your local duchy, sought after by many men. Being granted the opportunity to court her felt an immense treat. I've heard so many good things from so many I trust - lucky me! Yet it wasn't to be, and that's okay. She impressed me early, oh how fiery her start! Interior design by the hum of green palettes. The distance chairs sat from the table and an art wall of part-child, part-woman prowess. Especially how my dish was plated. My eyes relaxed into her space. Macizo treated our party with attentive ear and bold smile. How she had me! Sadly, our time was up when fork met the mouth. While clean and elegant, this eldest daughter lacked a certain gusto that I long for. She was afraid to sweat, to really get after it! Her Tiradito and Enchiladas Verdes left me wanting. At the end of the day she was too done up to do me in. Listen, this spot I get. She's a beauty and chock full of kindness. I'd love to see my best mate find her hand, but for me it just couldn't be, and that's okay. Keep doing you Macizo, keep doing you. read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! How did it take us this long to come here? I would say this is a hidden gem back in a strip mall, but I don't know how hidden it was based on the fact that it was packed! Always a good sign of a new restaurant. They seated us in about 10 minutes, which was great. Everything we ate was phenomenal. We both had a glass of red sangria. It was delicious and not too sweet, which is how I like it. The star of the show for sure was the tiradito. It's so beautiful, the tuna was so fresh, and if I could've licked the plate I would've. The sauce was amazing. I ordered the tamales as my entree. It's an appetizer, but it was more than enough to eat as my meal. They were great tamales. My husband loved his order, the sopa criolla. I'd almost equate it to a Mexican ramen. We cannot wait to go back! read more

This was easily one of the top meals I've had in Indy, maybe top ever. Each course was better than the last. The salsa macha was can't miss. The homemade bread was insane. Everyone who worked there was the sweetest. I can't wait to go back immediately. read more

Came to Macizo for a girls night and we were not disappointed. The minute we walked in we were greeted and taken to our seats. The ambiance was quite nice and I loved the art that was on the wall! The food on the menu is quite unique as it's a Mexican Peruvian fusion spot and I was quite excited to try some items. I ordered a glass of red sangria and it was perfectly balanced. We ordered the meatballs and the avocado for the table and it tasted so fresh! The tacos I ordered for my entree were good but just felt a little bit dry is all. However, the star of the show was definitely the pear poundcake we had for desert. Overall good experience and I will be back to try more items off of the menu! read more

Really enjoyed it here! The plaza looks like there's not much going on but the restaurant is pretty spacious. The service was very easygoing and not busy for Saturday lunch so me and my friend yapped for 3 hours Tiradito 8.5/10 Tangy creamy sauce with like spiced crunchy corn/pine nuts? The texture surprised me at first but I like the flavor Pasta huancaina 9/10 It tastes so familiar but also different at the same time. The sweetness and savoriness of the soy sauce and oyster sauce (I think) makes it so good Torta norteño 8.5/10 Cozy chili taste, mildly sweet and savory Pear pound cake 8/10 Not as fruity as I was expecting, more nutty but still yummy read more

Had such a great time at Macizo. I went with a group on a Saturday, so it was pretty busy. We didn't realize they take reservations, but will definitely plan ahead next time. Even so, the wait was only about 20 minutes. I ordered the pasta huancaína and it was a 10/10. Flavorful and the perfect portion size. The spicy red macha sauce really tied everything together. We shared the molletes and the focaccia bread was soft and delicious. I also have to mention the sangrias. The rosé sangria is a must-try! Last but not least, the pear poundcake with ice cream was a 15/10. Definitely my favorite part of the meal. Can't recommend it enough. You can really tell the owners put a lot of care and intention into this place. Despite how busy it was, the service was still great. The amazing reviews are absolutely deserved. read more

Off rip: Macizo is not your typical Indiana Mexican restaurant. (It's actually Mexican-Peruvian.) Do not be like the couple I saw while I was dining, and ask for chips and queso. When told that there were no chips and queso, they asked for chips and salsa. When told that there were no chips and salsa, they got up and left. I wish that couple would have done themselves a favor and stayed, and tried something new. You can get chips and queso anywhere. But you can't get the kind of Mexican-Peruvian food that the people at Macizo Restaurant are making. The food is some of the best in Indianapolis -- period. And apparently, other people think so, too, because the place was packed for lunch in the middle of the week when I visited. Also apparently, other people outside of central Indiana think Macizo Restaurant is great because they were recently named a 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Great Lakes. I was fortunate to visit Macizo for the first time during an in-person Yelp Elite event. I got to try many things on the menu, including the enfrijoladas (basically, an enchilada covered in bean sauce). Everything I ate was amazing. So, I came back! This time, for lunch on my own dime. I ordered the mole enchiladas, plus refried beans and white rice on the side, because you gotta eat rice and beans with enchiladas. The mole was amazing: slightly sweet, slightly spicy. The rice and beans were a good idea to add, because the mole is so flavorful and rich, so it needed a bland (in a good way) element or two to take it down a notch. Refried beans are kind of my litmus test of a restaurant. I can tell when they are housemade, and when they are not. These ones are indeed made in house -- they look and tasted like they were freshly smashed. Because I keep it a buck with y'all, I have to mention that I wish the chicken in the enchiladas was a little more fork-tender. But that's it! Everything about the mole enchiladas was delightful. We also ordered the Sopa Criolla, a Peruvian soup with diced beef, potatoes, angel hair pasta, milk and a sunny-side-up egg on top. It was a comforting and tasty dish, and it comes with a slice of freshly made sourdough bread. But that bread wasn't enough, so we ordered some focaccia, which I remembered from the Yelp event as being the best focaccia I had ever tasted. And yep, it still is the best focaccia! One of the things that I love about Macizo is that they are so unexpected. Who knew that you'd find the best focaccia at a Mexican-Peruvian restaurant? But yes, you will, and they sell their sourdough loaves and focaccia to go, too. I almost forgot to mention their coffee drinks! If you want to taste something spectacularly unexpected that you've probably never had before, try the Carmina Says: cold brew coffee with pineapple juice, lime juice and blackberry syrup. It's served frothy and in an elegant wine glass, for that extra-special fancy touch. It's like a coffee and juice in one beverage. They also have beer and wine, if you're so inclined. The service here is excellent. The owner herself was the one to greet everyone and explain the menu. She was super friendly and open to questions, and you could tell that she loved the food and what she was doing. The whole place is just full of cheer and amazing food and drink. read more

This has easily become one of my favorite restaurants, I try something new everytime I go and nothing has disappointed! Not to mention they are James Beard Semifinalist! Im so incredibly proud of them and am so happy I have the opportunity to enjoy their creations! Food? Try it all!! Dessert? GET the Pear poundcake a la mode!! You will thank or curse me later. I have not stopped thinking of it since getting it last month! So im happy to share I've already got it on the books for another trip! The staff are always so friendly and service is top notch! The owners are some of the sweetest people too! Supporting smalland local is just 1 of my favorite things to do! Their newly remodeled addition to the restaurant makes it so cozy and I feel as if I'm home. Its simple yet colorful, just makes me feel warm and happy from inside my belly! read more

Peruvian/Mexican restaurant. Bright colorful and clean interior, we were warmly greeted, and patiently explained menu options. House made bread and chili oil sauce were fantastic. Mole and verde sauce on the tamales were both great. We will absolutely be back to try more. read more

This is officially my new favorite restaurant in Indianapolis. After living abroad for a year, it was on the top of my list to visit when we returned. We went within days of landing back stateside and were warmly greeted by the owners. I already loved the experience before we even sat down. As we were walking to our table, we ran into a fellow Yelp Elite / Indy food influencer, so you just know it's the place to be. Our table wanted to order as many things as possible because everything sounded AMAZING. We started with the guacamole bowl because, obviously. Also, it comes with homemade sourdough bread that they make daily which was incredible too. As I was reading the menu, I read that the tamales are nixtamalized and ground in house. That is a huge deal as that's a more laborious process but is the absolute best way for humans to consume corn. "The processing renders the protein more digestible, allowing tryptophan to be absorbed by humans." Probably 90% of corn you eat out isn't nixtamalized so this shows that they know food and really care. We immediately ordered the tamales and they were the best I've EVER had. I absolutely love lomo saltado, so when I saw the burrito de lomo saltado, I was immediately sold. It was big, fresh, well-prepared, and came with a side of bean salad. I would order it again immediately. I wish I could have it again now, but it's only 9am - LOL. I've heard amazing things about the tiradito tuna appetizer, pasta huancaina, and mole enchiladas too. We were a group of eight and every single person's plate was completely empty by the end of our meal. Everyone was so happy with the experience and it was made even sweeter when the owners brought out freshly-made Mexican sweet bread that they'd just made for everyone to try. I mean... what a dream!!! We had our toddler with us and were so appreciative of the kid's menu, the fact that they had highchairs, and the comfortability of the space being so family friendly. We chatted with the owners before leaving and it was truly such a memorable, delicious evening. Thank you so much! We'll be back and will be singing your praises ongoing! read more

Such a great restaurant! I've been here before but finally got around to taking my wife with me for late dinner and we LOVED it. They have mainly 4-person tables plus some bar seating, and the atmosphere and decor was lively and welcoming. We were able to get a table around without a reservation after about 40 minutes since it was so busy with Devour. The staff were very kind and patient despite us sitting down around 30 minutes before closing, and we never felt rushed to finish and leave. To start, we got the red sangria, seasonal agua fresca, and rajas con queso, which were all delightful! The bolilo bread was truly divine - like a thick focaccia (crispy outside soft inside) but sturdy enough to hold the weight of the heavy dip. For the entree, I had the taco norteño, which was so delicious and flavorful - the tortilla was great too. My wife has the enchiladas campechanas, and she loved the sauces especially the green mole. The red mole was nutty and warming, which was a nice complement to the green mole. The pickled red onions that came with the enchiladas really brought the ensemble together. Desert HAD to be the pear pound cake with the ice cream. The soft, warm, moist cake with the cold, rich ice cream was just a perfect way to end the meal. The owners, Omar and Luz, were wonderful and should be very proud of the wonderful food and service they've brought to the area. We will definitely be back! read more

What a gem of Intech Park! I loved my experience here. This is not just another Mexican restaurant. It has more unique, authentic feel with a hint of Peruvian cuisine as well. Any Latin American food lover should come here. I went for the Devour Indy menu. It's a three course meal and four of us ordered different things and tried each others food. The meatballs- great sauce The guacamole bowl- generous portion, great with the sourdough bread served with it. Sopa criolla- my favorite Peruvian soup. It has an egg, pasta, beef and potatoes in it. Served with bread. Perfect for winter! Jericalla- it's like a flan, not too sweet Pear pound cake ala mode - wonderful desert, moist pound cake with ice cream on top. All the servers who came to our table were nice, friendly and professional. I loved the atmosphere and I'm sure I'll come back. read more

I always love coming in here. It feels like a warm embrace, especially with all of the kind staff here along with the owners! I started with the Jamaica and gosh I've never had a drink here I didn't love. Everyone at my table was raving about these. Next up were the mole enchiladas. I loved trying these but next time I really hope to get my hands on the taco norteño! I had a bite of my friend's order of the molletes and gosh it was so tasty! That homemade bread is incredible! Speaking of..I highly recommend the seasonal pound cake for dessert. My friend and I shared our desserts and that one is just sooooo good! I also imagine it would be great with coffee. Anyone.. I love it here and you should try it out if you're on the fence! Also love seeing the new mural and couch and artwork when you walk in. Definitely gives it a cozy feel! read more

The owner was very friendly when we were here on a Saturday. The food came out quick! We got a new item (forgot what it was called...), it was basically a beef stew on a giant tortilla. SO yummy and flavorful. I also got the chicken enchiladas! Both dishes were delicious. Pro-tip: get the homemade sourdough and they can slice some for you to dip in the sauces! Come support a local restaurant! I'll definitely be back. read more

What an absolutely divine place! I cannot believe I haven't heard of this authentic Mexican with a Peruvian twist place until now. It is four minutes outside of Eagle Creek Park, and a group of friends decided to go there after a hike to celebrate a friend's birthday. First of all, when we entered the restaurant we were greeted by a nice clean, aesthetic and extremely friendly wait staff. We did have a reservation for six people, however, you could probably walk in and have a little to no wait depending on the time. I ordered the red sangria and it was delicious. I don't typically love sweeter drinks, but the sangria was nice and not overly sweet. They make their own in house hot chili seasoning that is amazing. We ordered the Raja and guacamole with focaccia and sourdough as an appetizer. Both of these items were amazing. The bread is made in-house and it is fabulous. For entrees, we split the Tiradito, guajolota toast, and the tacos campechanos. Every dish was unique and delicious. I would order all of them over again except maybe the toast (it was served over sourdough and by that point I had had enough bread :)). My favorite was the tacos... it had cheesy goodness in between two corn tortillas with a large piece of chorizo. It was very filling. I love this place and I will come back. It is a gem! read more

Macizo - my first review of 2026 - set the bar so high for this year! I've wanted to go to Macizo for some months now, but traveling for most of 2025 got on the way. I have to say it was worth the wait! The staff were amazing, so nice, helpful and they even gave us some recommendations. Now the food... I mean, THE FOOD! Macizo is Mexican - Peruvian and the tiradito was probably the best I've had in a while. We also got the torta de carnitas on a fresh focaccia (they make the bread daily!!). I also had the Valentine's cocktail and it was delicious, but I've heard all the drinks are good. Everything in this place yells authentic, tables, decor and even the music in the background.

Macizo Restaurant - Chicken enchilada mole - Peruvian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Been on my list for a minute but the announcement of a James Beard Award pushed me there. Ambience is easy, simple and accommodating. The service was personal, suggestive and friendly. Food A+....the guacamole paired with the House made Macha Salsa is sublime paired with house made warm bread(a first for me). The Macha Salsa, as explained by the owner(also our server) is Vera Cruz style. But the highlight of the 2 appetizers and possibly the meak were the tamales +Hizo. They were light and fluffy and delicious. We had the Burrito, Torta, Norton and per request the Enchilada Campachanos with 2 moles. All were outstanding and plates were cleaned! I won't go into much detail but I really don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. My friends and I will return many times, we have already planned it. I grabbed a jar of the Macha Salsa as we left. They are sold at the hostess stand! Congratulations to Maczio! Eat Local, Shop Local. Live Local! read more

So impressed and happy. The food delicious. It absolutely exceeds the expectations I have when walking into a new restaurant. Service was quick and helpful. They are still decorating, but the food alone will be enough to keep you guys successful and busy! The beef in the enfrijoladas was tender and juicy, even better when smothered in that smooth bean sauce. The sour cream was bright and a perfect complement to the dish. The salsa macha was delicious as well. They provide some at each table, and also sell it to take home. Spicy with a lasting kick, a little salty, everything you can ask for. Thank you so much for a great meal! read more

So Macizo was recommended to us by a few friends plus social media hyped it up. We obviously took our kids, and I'm not sure if it's kid friendly...they didn't have a kids menu and the space was kind of small. For food, we ordered their housemade bread & guacamole which was good, but overly priced! We also had the mole enchiladas which were good but the chicken was overcooked. The kids had a cheese quesadilla with a side of rice, nothing fancy. Their housemade salsa was VERY good! If you like spicy, it's right up your alley! We got their pound cake with ice cream for dessert which was really good as well. read more

First the staff is very welcoming, friendly and informative on each dish. She was able to explain items I had questions on. It's a relaxing atmosphere, that feels like you are visiting a local place you've been before. I had the purple (ube) horchata to drink. They also brought water to the table. My entree was the molé enchiladas (4). It was a good portion size. I needed to take one home (happily because it means I can enjoy the flavors again later). This was my second time and I am looking forward to coming back and trying a new item on the menu. read more

I was looking for a place to linger over a long lunch with a friend traveling from the airport to Zionsville and this northwest spot fit the bill perfectly. I was greeted warmly and our server was attentive and excited to explain the menu to us. The cuisine is mostly Mexican with some Peruvian and I honestly want to come back and try everything. We had the guacamole appetizer, which was $15 but a huge bowl of very flavorful guacamole with a basket of homemade focaccia. Yum! The lunch special was enfrijoladas, which were carnitas and tortillas covered in a bean sauce. We were told they were a little spicy by the sever but I found the flavor fairly mild. The decor and strip mall location here is unassuming but the service and food will bring me back anytime I'm looking to eat a solid meal in this corner of town. I can't wait to try the seafood and dessert offerings. read more

Macizo Restaurant - Enfrijoladas - Peruvian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The hype is real! The 5 star rating is well deserved. The food is truly special and adds a new dimension to the Indianapolis culinary scene. The restaurant has been opened only seven months and is tucked in a small strip mall off of 71st Street on the Northwest side of Indy. The husband/wife team worked together to assemble a fusion menu of their favorite foods from her Peruvian and his Mexican background. He does the cooking, including making breads fresh daily. All the foods are freshly prepared. The owner and our server, Luz, was welcoming, engaging, explained menu and made recommendations. She explained that the mole sauce is homemade and a house specialty. We shared a special appetizer of meatballs and focaccia bread (the breads are made in house). The meatballs were unbelievably light and delicious and the tangy sauce was fabulous. The meatballs came with several pieces of the chef's fresh focaccia bread. We shared a plate of the chicken tamales. The tamales are artistically presented. Luz explained that the corn was hand ground in-house to make the dough! The tamales are light and fluffy, like no others that I've ever had locally. The marinated onions that accompanied the tamales are downright addictive. I also ordered a slice of the sourdough bread, which is made in-house. The bread was chewy and delicious. Luz and her husband visited our table and checked on us. Water glasses were kept full. The dining room is minimalist and pristine. There is a small bar area. They serve a happy hour special of house made sangria (two glasses for $15) from 3 - 6:00 pm. Luz invited me to sample the sangria, which was the best sangria that I've ever had. It was full bodied and fruity. I'll be back for happy hour. Macizo's is one of those rare places that makes you feel like family and serves uniquely delicious food. I can't wait to go back. read more

The restaurant is bright and spacious. Service was excellent. We both had the pasta dish as it sounded different and interesting. It totally delivered. It looked like Mac and cheese made with noodles but it was really so much more. The sauce under the pasta was delicious and really changed up flavor of the dish and really made it unique. The star though was the homemade sourdough bread that came with the dish to sop up the sauce. A truly artisan bread. We will definitely be returning to try some of the other items on the menu and to get some of that bread. They also make their own sangria although we did not try it. read more
