If you're in the mood for bougie Mexican food, this is your spot. Don't take anyone here if they're looking for "typical" Indiana Mexican fare. Our server was friendly and attentive and the restaurant was very cozy with cool decor.

Ceviche
Joseph D.

I met some friends there for lunch and we all had different tacos. Without exception they were fantastic. I had the octopus and the Carne Asada. I would definitely try this place again. They also have an amazing selection of tequila and Mezcal's, Including Fortaleza , which I could never find an Indianapolis. We got a bunch of appetizers for the table and they were all very very good. Our favorite was the ceviche.

This location has a nice patio to enjoy the summer weather, the staff is friendly, and food comes out hot!

Found this place while driving back from Chicago and couldn't have been more pleased with my experience! What a cute establishment- there is both indoor and patio seating. We got the salsa flight and queso and the salsas were quite different from any I had had. It was nice to try something different. The tacos were excellent as well and on par with other street taco prices. I actually only spent $7 on my meal and that included splitting the chips, salsa and queso with friends so very reasonably priced. Our server was quite nice but did seem to be a little confused when we asked about some allergies people in our party had. But when we started asking specifically about ingredients in the food and dips, we did get the information we needed. Would definitely go back and encourage others to try this place too.

I love the downtown location and looked forward to having one closer to me. Unfortunately, my recent visit didn't match the great experiences I've had before. Our server was unfriendly, and our questions seemed to irritate her. When my food arrived, it came with a salsa that I didn't like. When I asked for a different salsa, she simply pointed to my plate and said, "You have one already." We ordered two additional salsas, which we weren't informed would cost $2 each, and they weren't spicy as expected. My dad asked for regular black coffee and she rudely replied that they only offer cafe de olla, which is brewed coffee with cinnamon and sweetened usually with piloncillo. I ordered one and it was sweet, usually don't need to add anything to it but milk and water were needed. Despite being the only table there since we arrived at opening, my request for a special Father's Day dessert, which I had mentioned when making the reservation, was ignored. And when we paid, we split the bill and gratuity was added for a party of 5 adults and a child, which was new to me. Also our tip wasn't split and they charged each of us 20% on the total and we didn't realize until after we left. I'm all for 20% but not when the service is terrible. On a positive note, the decor is beautiful and similar to the downtown location.

Nachos (add Chicken) 5/5

The food is always amazing! Haven't had anything I didn't like. Servers are very nice, knowledgeable, and attentive. This place is beautiful with a modern fun flair.

Vegetarian Taco

Excellent food. The server was nice. Help with explaining the dishes. It was a beautiful day, we sat out. It was a perfect evening!

Shrimp Taco, Chicken taco

Great Ambiance with tasty tacos. Ice cream with chocolate tacos is awesome. Service is good. Nice Mexican food.

Our family always enjoys our time, the food, and the friendly service we receive. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming.

Birria
Hannah N.

We sat outside on the patio, there was a nice breeze and fun eclectic music playing. Chip's and salsa were great and also had the Birria, which was excellent. Service was extremely pleasant! Food was authentic with a modern flare. Great place for Mexican! Will definitely be back very soon!

Table setting was not typical of a Mexican restaurant.
Reba K.

We visited Nom Nom on Veterans Memorial Parkway for the first time. We were very pleased. The food was wonderful. I had enchiladas suizas. My hubs had a Pulpo (that being octopus taco). That's right, octopus! Nacho chips are seasoned and a bit spicy; but, we like a bit spicy. The basket was ample and came with three dips. One thing different from other restaurants, you are charged $4.00 for the nachos. We believe it was well worth the money. The tables are preset and displayed cloth napkins (see pictures). The atmosphere was untypical of a Mexican restaurant - a bit upscale. We think it is a step above the normal Mexican restaurant. Our waiter was very punctual and took care of our needs. Price is a bit higher than others but well worth it. We will go back. Give it a try; we think you will return.

Food was tasty. I had chicken taco and carne asada taco. It was good. Music, however, was extremely loud and not appropriate.

Food is not as authentic and tasty as other places around the Lafayette area - it is actually very expensive compared to other options.

Catching up on Yelp reviews as it's been a minute... This Yelp review is coming from a Purdue Alum…read moreso expect bias... I came to BoilerUP Bar when my family and I visited campus for the Purdue/OSU men's basketball game back in February. I've stayed at the Union Club Hotel many times, but this was the first time post renovations. BoilerUP Bar is a cocktail and whiskey bar in the Purdue Memorial Union and apparently serve some bar eats. We came here for drinks on a Saturday night after having dinner at Walkon's in the basement. The place was packed (expected) at around 7pm and seating is first come first serve, but we were able to Eagle-Eye/Hawk at spot (kindly ask the leaving party to sit down as they are leaving). Yes this is definitely a thing and it's called "smart dining". If you follow me on Yelp, then you should know I am a Bourbon Enthusiast and Old Fashioned's are my favorite cocktails. They are very simple with ingredients, but they are extremely difficult to master and I think they are a great test for any Mixologist. So I had the BoilerUP Signature Old Fashioned and the Spiced Winter Old Fashioned. Both were very excellent and they were served with some big rocks (great to see). After a night out, I came back and I had a nightcap at the bar before closing. They have an ok whiskey list. Not as amazing as 648 Bourbon & Cigar Lounge across the river. But I was able to find one of my favorite unicorns on the whiskey list, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, and the best part was it was only $15 for a 2oz pour, which is pretty difficult to find at that price nationwide (Cost of living is a tad different in Chicago). Service was mixed. I believe our waitress serving us gave me the wrong drink as I ordered the BoilerUP Signature Old Fashioned first, but it was definitely the Spiced Winter Old Fashioned because I could taste the syrup. However, I was ok with it because I liked it anyways. So that is why I ended up ordering the BoilerUP Signature Old Fashioned again and it was correct. It's easy to mix up as all Old Fashioned's pretty much look similar and the drink was excellent. Our waitress was friendly and service was good as well so really no issues besides a small mix up. When I sat at the bar before closing, the bartender was friendly and service was a ok. Overall, the BoilerUP Bar is a GREAT addition to West Lafayette! Price is definitely no quarter bottles at the old Where Else, but this is more suited place for alumni and I am perfectly fine with that! Ambience is small/intimate and great for date night. So if you are in the area, you should definitely check this place out!

Prices are hoping visitors and Purdue tourists cannot go more than a mile from campus. Sadly the…read moremenu has wildly bloated numbers double what many similar restaurants offer, Town and Gown, Bistro 501, RedSeven deliver and reach above expectations unlike the dull expensive dry roast recently eaten this past week. I cannot comprehend this place, after four visits with friends, unable to recommend any dish or drink as a standout win up against the cost. Let me nail down each dish we had this past Wednesday, the grilled bacon was entirely fine, quite tough but nice fatty flavors, I like Teay's River candied bacon app better. Oyster was good, east coast briny does me right. Our Old Fashioneds were insanely expensive without offering any memorable flavors, balance seemed restrained neither giving a forward bite or a smooth sweetness. Strawberry Lemon sprits was similar, an overpriced kid's slushy. Asparagus was fine. Potato sides surprisingly flavorless, we all couldn't believe how dull the potatoes were. My sister's salmon looked half the size of Town and Gown's while costing fifty percent more and offering half the food. She did finish the ocean protein but left most of the rice. Thankfully the desserts were better, bread pudding somewhat dry and needing a sparkle of that smooth actual pudding but the winner was definitely the key lime. Rich and dense, dreamy and tangy, I got happy! Sure the atmosphere and staff is enjoyable, providing some fresh city vibes compared to the homely and old school Mountain Jacks. However Jacks and Mcgraws Steakhouse both do far better as culinary is concerned. Would be exciting to see this place fix up their inconsistency, out of touch pricing, or they'll be the next to go the way of Bowen Bistro during the next economic crash.

The Black Sparrow - Caesar salad and fries and and a gimlet

The Black Sparrow endeared itself to me when I saw a gimlet on their special drinks menu. Aw! Who's…read moreeven making gimlets anymore? Let alone featuring gimlets on a special menu and presenting them as bright, shiny things? No one, except this awesome restaurant in Lafayette. Of course, I got the gimlet. I also got what some might call a "girl dinner," but what I call a "hot mom traveling alone dinner," which is fries and a Caesar salad. The fries were excellent: mostly crispy, but every so often a couple of mealy and soft fries were discovered, which was nice. The Caesar salad was good, and it came with whole croutons, which is typical. But really, The Black Sparrow? Your Caesar salad could have been elevated to excellent if the croutons were crushed into bread crumbs! Just saying! The Caesar had a lot of freshly grated parmesan cheese, which was a nice touch. A good Caesar salad needs a lotta parm, in my opinion. I just sat at the bar, so all I know is that rectangular space at the counter. Is there a restaurant beyond the bar at The Black Sparrow? I have no idea, but if you're looking to enjoy a little drink and a meal at the bar here, I think you'll have a good time.

We've tried several downtown spots and wanted to add this to the list. The Black Sparrow delivers a…read moregreat mix of rustic historic charm with a hint of a time-traveling vibe. While the menu is comparatively limited, the food hit the mark. The appetizer wings with sweet chipotle were crisp and packed with flavor, the Remmy smashburger was cooked perfectly with great toppings, and the Nashville Hot Chicken had very good flavor despite leaning just a tad dry. A special shoutout to our server, listed on the receipt as "Player 1," who earned the high score for her top-tier level of service. This place has definitely earned a spot on our must-return list.
