    Love visiting Mexico City kitchen. It contends for one of my most frequented restaurants whenever I come to the Indy area. I've tried various tacos and tamales and everything has been stellar. Service is quick and friendly, and I would describe the space as clean and cozy. Definitely check it out if you have the chance!

    AMAZING spot! Small mom n pops shop, with punching, bold flavors of what true Mexican cuisine is! Great staff, n from what I hear they have another location! :D Hands down one of the best spots for brunch!

    Tacos Dorados

    I turned on my Yelp radar and ended up here. Forty-nine of Indy's top Yelpers say it's a 5.0. And I thought so too. The place is not fancy or upscale or trendy. It's a hole in the wall with 11 tables. You order at the counter and grab a seat. The menu is in Spanish but they gave me a partially English version when I looked baffled. The food looks authentic, not the usual enchiladas and pinto beans. The clerk is friendly and helpful. I ordered the Chicken Tacos Dorados, which are rolled up tacos that are deep fried and then covered with cream cheese, lettuce and avocado. The plate was so beautiful, it could have been served in a super high-end restaurant. And the tacos were crunchy and delicious. The avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy. My husband had the Tamales Fritos with chicken which were two large deep fried tamales, covered in a green sauce and topped with cheese. Again, beautiful, spicy and delicious plate. They have a kid's menu. The breakfast menu looks awesome too. When we left, the tables were full. The parking lot was also full. I recommend going off-peak hours. They don't take reservations. I'm number 50 to say 5.0.

    A local find with the most authentic greasy yet delicious Mexican food. We ordered enchiladas and quesadillas and mind you the portions looked okay but boy we were so full and stuffed up in the end. Absolutely no space to eat more. We enjoyed our meal and service was so polite and nice.

    Was in town for Taylor swift and stumbled upon this hidden gem. Family owned business serving delicious Mexican food. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and the line was through the door. The restaurant is on the smaller side but cozy. We ordered and paid at the counter. The server taking the order was very nice. Service was quick, and served us a table to accommodate all the food we ordered. The horchata came out first and it tasted great. It was mixed well and has a good amount of cinnamon. Our tacos had a lot of meat in them and it was still hot which made it delicious. The fried tamale was unique to us and was surprisingly good. Their green sauce was one of the best I've had and brings a good sour flavor. It was my first time having the pambazo and it was great. The bread was fried and had a good crisp. It goes well with the steak and potatoes inside. The pozole rojo with pork was good as well. Good soup flavor and pork was very tender. We also got the tacos dorados and they were fried perfectly. It was crispy and the tinga de res was tender. Overall great environment and dining experience with delicious food! Would love to come back if I'm back in Indiana again!

    What an absolute gem in Indy! Everything we got was delicious and fresh and the service was fast and friendly. I wish I lived closer, I'd be here every week!! Love the music they played too- muy chilanga! We will be back the next time we're in Indy, even if it's out of the way!

    Our first time to visit this establishment which came highly recommended on our local foodies page. The food far exceeded our expectations. The tacos, Gordita, and tamale were all delicious. The staff was very friendly and food came out quickly and was piping hot. We will 100% be back

    Saw a lot of solid reviews, so I stopped in for lunch, and was not disappointed. They have a full menu, and make it convenient for those whose Spanish may be a little rusty (ha)! Be that as it may, I ordered a Pambazo, and it was loaded with potato, chorizo, and fresh cheese. The hot sauces will wake you up quickly. A small little shop with a few tables. Not much of a wait, but you know you're getting something fresh-fresh. Definitely worth a try, and now on my "must return" list. Well done!

    Tacos Pastor + Gorditas Classic
    Sarah M.

    We stopped in here on a Tuesday night to have a little a "Taco Tuesday" at home while watching a movie after work. It is a very small space inside due to the dining area being immediately to the left and then a small walkway up to the register with no designated to/from traffic (just kinda trying to squeeze around people). All of the staff and other customers were very friendly though! They have a large digital menu in English and Spanish above the registers, but they also have English and Spanish versions of their menu on the entry way table. We each got 2 tacos (I got the pastor, he got the campechano) and a Gordita clasica. We got home to plate them and pair with some chips, salsa, and guacamole and were pleasantly surprised at how THICK the tacos were. They were piled with meat, cilantro, and onions. Definitely the best price point for the amount of food out of any taco spot on the West side we have tried so far. Both were very flavorful and had tender meat, nothing was overcooked or dried out. The Gordita clasica was also really flavorful and I loved the different textures. The orange hot sauces are always our favorite everywhere we go for tacos and we were not disappointed! So spicy and had great flavor. The green hot sauce had a slight hint of heat to it as well and was also very tasty. We can't wait to come back and try more off of their menu!

    Brushing off that high school-level Spanish knowledge in order to order. I went with the quesadilla with frijoles (beans) and also an agua fresco (lemon, mint, cucumber flavor). For the amount of money and how filling and delicious it was, I would highly recommend. Small space for dining in, but definitely enough for small groups!

I got the…read moretacos de asada (steak) i was a bit disappointed, they were pretty dry and not very well seasoned, the torta cubana had some flavor to it, but no depth, what you see is what you get, lastly, the birria taco, was very underwhelming, there was fatty tissue in the taco (which I hate), the meat did not have seasoning, the consume tasted bland and had so much fat, that it overwhelmed the flavors. The real stars of the show are the salsas!! The red salsa will have you confessing your secrets as it is so spicy and unforgiving, the green salsa in slightly milder and more tolerable. Both were enjoyable, as I love spicy food, however, this was a different level of spicy. I loved that they gave you a side of seasoned onions, radishes, and limes to tie the tacos and torta together. I would be willing to try other things in their menu, as I have head some of their dishes are great. They have a bakery behind their eating area, so I am looking forward to try their sweat bread. Overall. I liked that your ordered on the counter, and someone brought you your food. The servers were very nice and attentive, and overall, this is a chill spot.

I also stop in here with friends from work for lunch every once in a while, which is what I did last week. We sat outside since the weather was so nice (there isn't a patio, just one table that can sit 3). My friends got different supreme tacos and a dip trip for us all to split and I ordered pastor tacos and a cheese quesadilla (not pictured). The pastor tacos were so tender and flavorful, as usual, and the pineapple strips on top were a great touch, though we don't ever get those on our to-go pastor tacos. I'm not sure if it's something nee that they are doing, if it's only for dining in, or as stock allows. The cheese quesadilla was much bigger than I was expecting (based off of what I've received from other tacos spots on the west side), so next time I would only order 2 tacos if I wanted a quesadilla as well. Their portions are great for the price, which is another reason why we love them so much. My friends both enjoyed their tacos and the dip trio was really tasty. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu from Tacos 46.

My boyfriend and I came on Mother's day (unintentionally) and we waited about 10-15 minutes to sit at the bar. Getting our orders taken & our food served definitely took a bit of time, but we enjoyed seeing all the cooks in action and getting to smell all the amazing smells!! I got Grandpa's one pan skillet and my boyfriend got the sausage breakfast sandwich on croissant bread. All I gotta say is those chefs definitely knew what they were doing! The flavors were unique and intentional and I enjoyed every bite. The home fries (potatoes) were also so yummy and everything was cooked really well. There's nothing basic about borage and I love that! This place is a gem. They also have a cafe/market area where you can order drinks and pastries. I wish we waited until we got seated to order drinks because the menu was much more extensive than what I saw in the cafe and I would have ordered a different drink had I seen all the other options.
