Love this place. 4th time here. But this time at 6pm sitting at the bar, the music was so loud. Asking the bartender if they could turn it down a little twice. She said she would ask manager, but the owner controls it from his phone offsite. Not sure if this is why the place was empty compared to my other visits. Anyway, food and drinks are still great, just hard to have a conversation. read more

Beautiful place. Staff was great, food was good and prepared with details. The selections of alcoholic drinks to the right was quite the selection! read more

First. This place is SO cute in a modern but whimsy way. The inside was like a party with the music going but you could still have a conversation. The bathrooms were cute and smelled great. Note: there are two stalls and one sink. We sat on the outside patio in front to enjoy the beautiful day! It was a bit warm...ya girl was THIRSTY, the water cups are on the smaller side... so our server Sage gave us a full pitcher they were so amazing the entire time. They give you chips and salsa automatically that salsa was divine. Wish they sold it in a bottle. We had the roasted cauliflower which was DELICIOUS and very sure to grab the sauce in the side of the dish and thank me later. We also had ceviche for an appetizer and there were nice sized chunks of Ahi tuna along with shrimp avocado and pico. Y'all both appetizers just disappeared! So delightful. We had sangria and was lovely, skinny margarita was fire and I had the Mezcal old fashioned.. and I had two. That was one of the top ever!! This place was so wonderful we're already planning to go back next time I return to Indy. We're hoping Sage is there because the level of service was top tier and they were so cool to talk to. Just go. You'll be utterly satisfied read more

The vibe is pretty upbeat and elevated. I really enjoyed the overall setup. What we ordered was pretty good, not mind blowing Ceviche is a bit too lemony; portion and presentation is nice 7.5/10 I like my drink mango mezcal cocktail (mango was light but is fresh mango tasting and not syrupy) not spicy, even though server gave a warning 8/10 Wagyu tomahawk steak 8.5/10 cooked a little more than medium rare, veggies were still crisp and good read more

Excellent dinner downtown. It's conveniently located near the old national theater, easy to get to a show after you've had dinner. The decor was beautiful inside. It's a upscale Mexican restaurant, with professional service. The food was delicious. We had Carne Asada and Arroz con Polo split two dishes between three people and still had plenty of leftovers to take home. They had an interesting spin on their chips and dip. They offered whole corn tortillas with a bean dip and a tomato dip, but not a salsa. It was all very good and I look forward to being able to try it again. read more

I love love loved my food, the ambiance, the service, the decor, literally everything minus downtown parking .... Luckily since it was snowing I was able to park in front but some of my family had to drive around to find spots. This isn't on the restaurant, this is a common thread for mass Ave locations. One thing I want to make mention of, I covet the stoneware that was used to serve everything down to sauces. We ate in the private dining area that I seats 10 on the main floor. My stepmom felt like a queen for her bday & rightfully so. So super cute that for birthdays they offer a cupcake OR a shot. My stepmom chose the shot and it was served in a champ glass with a lime and on a small wooden board with a salt heart that they lit on fire for us to sing happy bday! I ordered the quesobirria tacos, the oysters Rockefeller & ceviche... I was wow'd. Lamb was cooked perfectly in the tacos! The ceviche had the freshest ingredients and I'm typically not a fan of tuna but mmm mm ... THIS was fire! When I return, I'll be ordering two orders of the oysters & plan on eating both read more

Seafood galore!!! Started with crispy calamari and ceviche. Thr former's batter is well flavored, didn't need sauce to enjoy it. And the latter, is how ceviche should be. Lots of fish chunks and is very well marinated. Main courses were Preida lobster mac: Flavor was good but the lobsters size was small relative to price. The Grilled Octopus was rrally well and evenly cooked. Texture was soft throughout, even on the thicker part of the meat This was a good one. And lastly, the Pescado frito. Man, the whole fish was huge. The sauce that was recommended was Salsa ala diabla was really great. It's spicy but not hot spicy, mildly opens up yoir nostril but then it doesn't anymore so it's not overwhelming the more you dip in. Ended the night with chocoflan. It's good, not strong in sweet so it made it enjoyable. Service waa great and not intrusive at the bar area, which was well lit. Place was packed on a Tue night. They have papertowels in the restroom. No outdoor seating. Will gladly return to this place. read more

Piedra is a beautiful Mexican Steakhouse located right on Mass Ave. The parking is very limited, so be sure to leave out early or you may be late for your reservations. They offer $20 valet parking as well. Upon walking in, I was greeted by about 4 other groups that were waiting to be seated. Our reservations were at 8:15 pm and we were seated until close to 9 pm. When we were seated, we were placed by a window, and every time someone opened the door, we felt a huge draft. We asked if there was anything available to warm the area and was told no. They told us we could move, but since there weren't any tables available, we'd have to wait for another table to get up to leave. Being that we had already wat almost 45 mins to be seated and another 10+ mins to get water, we decided to weather the storm. Our waitress was truly nice and bubbly, and she was attentive. I chose to participate in the devour menu and get the oysters rockefella, ribeye and tres leches for dessert. The oysters were cleaned very well, but even wth the addition of cheese toppings, still lacked flavor. The steak was delicious and had flavor. The potatoes served with it lacked salt, but were good. I didn't really care for the cake. The leches didn't have an additional flavor to it, s it was semi bland. I was offered to change t but fr something different, but I chose my to. I tried a expresso martini as well, and it was very delicious. I'd definitely come back for that alone! Piedra had a DJ that night and it was giving Chicago rooftop vibes...IYKYK. We were given a dessert coupon for our wait. Overall, the ambience is amazing. The food is decent, but the wait time to be seated needs to be improved. This restaurant s still somewhat new, so hopefully they will make the tweaks to make that better. read more

Came here for my birthday - group of 5 Our server was great! She came around and got our orders put in timely. I only wish they had a canister of water they could leave at tables since we went without for a bit too long btw refills but otherwise there were no complaints. We started off with Ceviche de Pescado and Coliflor Asada for apps. ---Ceviche was so fresh! I could have eaten that all night long by itself! Fresh yellow fin tuna marinated in their famous leche de tigre, paired with a fresh garden medley of cucumber, avocado, red onion, and pico de gallo. ---Coliflor was also not a bad choice. I'm already a huge fan of the vegetable but this one was seasoned nicely. My only suggestion was I wish it was a little crispier. It sort of deteriorated when you went to cut it up. Cauliflower marinated in guajillo chile, fire-grilled for a smoky flavor, and finished with salsa macha and chipotle aioli. Garnished with fresh herbs. For drinks: house marg, jalapeño marg, mojito marg, mezcal old fashioned, Topacio Imperial I got the jalapeño marg with sugar rim and thought it was a little light on the "kick" but it was refreshing and nice, had 2 lol Main dishes: Carne Asada, Molcajete, Lamb Chops, and two orders of Enchiladas Doña Carmen Everyone enjoyed their food. I was one of the enchiladas people. My favorite was the chicken and then barbacoa one. It comes 4 enchiladas: barbacoa, ground beef, chicken, and cheese. At first I was sad it didn't come with rice or beans but after the drinks and apps and enchiladas, I was pretty full! Dessert: Churros and clearly the Pastel de colores (Celebration Cake) ---- and a birthday shot that came in a Champaign flute Atmosphere: an eclectic mix with variety of tables. We got a nice half circular booth by the bar area. The music was good, but just a tinge loud for trying to converse. I don't mind music but it semi clashes with the price point here I would def come back and try more dishes though! read more

This restaurant is beautiful! It's a must try if you haven't been yet. The filet mignon and vegetables were nicely seasoned, and they have a pretty decent expresso martini. I was a little disappointed in the service. I had a reservation for 8:15 and wasn't seated until almost 9 and we didn't get our food until about 10. This doesn't speak to how well our waitress treated us though. She was very nice and helpful. I do understand that they are a very popular restaurant right now, so they are very busy! Overall, I did have a pretty good experience and would like to come again when they're not so busy. read more

Truly amazing dining experience! Located 10 minutes from downtown Indianapolis, this is an upscale Mexican cuisine. They feature several drinks and menu options that include flames, which adds showmanship to the presentation. Molcajete skirt steak, bone in chicken, shrimps, bacon, stuffed jalapeños, served in a stone bowl over flames incredible portions for $43! They also feature margaritas drink which is served in an actual pineapple with a flaming side of salt! Upscale tequila shots are served with lime and lemon slices with flaming salt! I highly recommend their savory bone marrow, ribeye tacos! Save room for dessert! The celebration cake was multi colored and loved their deep fried ice cream! read more

Ouch. It hurts to give three stars. First off, it is absolutely stunning inside this place. From the moment you walk in! Kudos to them for that. There were two of us, and we were seated on the back half of one of the columns at a two top table. They have cute purse and coat stands to hang your things (specifically for your table) next to your table. + Every table gets salsa, as well as a bean dip with fried tortillas instead of chips. Unfortunately, our tortillas were stale with a burnt taste to them. Our server actually tried a piece at our table - we were shocked to see her do this haha. + We ordered queso with chips, and sadly the chips were overly fried, and were drenched in grease. + The arroz con pollo was different. The chicken was good, but the rice seemed over cooked, and had an interesting taste to it. I can't really put my finger on it but it seemed very different than the flavors of the classic dish. 6.5 /10 + We also tried to Wagyu burger. The burger + fries were good, however the burger came on a burn that appears burnt, but were told is something called a charcoal bun. Visually not the most appealing, but the burger itself was pretty good. 7/10 I'll likely give it another try around spring/summer! Great spot for drinks. read more

I visited Piedra with five other people for a little date night. The vibes in the building were definitely there. The entire restaurant had a cool lounge like atmosphere. There were many different types of seating arrangements (couches, arm chairs, barstools). The decorations were beautiful and the entire place felt like it belonged in a bigger city than Indy. I was very excited to try the food because I love Mexican food. I wasn't totally impressed with the level of authenticity or flavor. We ordered chips and queso and chips and guacamole. The queso had pretty good flavor but the chips seemed to be very oily. They had a great flavor just would have liked a little less oil. For dinner I ordered the chicken tinga tacos. They didn't wow me but they weren't bad. I tried a friend's baja tacos and had the same sentiment. The item that really stole the show was the Taquitos con Guaca. They were so tasted and I wished I had ordered that for my meal! I felt like we didn't receive much attention from our server and had to prompt her to take our orders, refill our drinks, and provide us with the checks. She was very kind and knowledgeable just wasn't keeping up with the needs of our table. I am definitely willing to give them another shot because they were fairly new when I visited. read more

I went during the lunch hour. It was a huge difference from the dinner time vibe/atmosphere. The waiter was very gracious, friendly and helpful with the items. I tried to Baja tacos had a side of refried beans and rice. The Baja tacos were okay. I think they would've been a bit better with more sauce. All in all, the aesthetics of the restaurant is very beautiful. To be immersed in the full experience, I'll have to go back and try them out during dinner time. read more

This place is absolutely incredible. When Jill told me we were getting Mexican I didn't expect this place. First of all, the restaurant is unbelievably beautiful! We were greeted and led to a table. We asked if we could eat that the bar and were politely accommodated. I'm not 100% but I think the bartenders name was Armando. Total hospitalitarian. Led us through the menu and made perfect drink recommendations. The food is an easy ten out of ten. Again, this isn't your queso and store bought chips kind of place. Everything is elevated. You owe yourself a dinner here. Whenever I go out to eat, I have a ballpark figure of how much money I'm gonna spend. When Jill told me we were going to Mexican I put that number in my head. We spent way more than that and I cannot wait to go back and do it again. We got the Trace Leche cake and Armando recommended a dessert cocktail and it was quite honestly one of the best spirit and food parenting I've ever had. Don't miss out on it. read more

I'd love to give it a 4.5 but Yelp doesn't have 1/2 points. I liked Piedra. I really did. I had read reviews and thus was prepared for the loud music (which, I agree, they really do need to turn it down) and the higher price tag. What I was determined to get, though, was their pork belly tacos (which I had gotten via takeout once prior). SO GOOD. And very filling. Not sure if I'll be able to venture away from ordering this in the future. I thought the tortilla + salsa was a unique take. Certainly made me mindful of how many I ate! The salsas were both mild but tasty! I got the Ambar cocktail which was quite good-- would recommend! Service was quick but then again I went at ~2 pm on a Saturday so it wasn't exactly prime time. Overall, the vibe that everyone's been talking about was certainly there & I think this is a great addition to Bottleworks. Would definitely go with a friend next time (and get another round of pork belly tacos!). read more

We've been waiting to dine at Piedra. We decided to go for my birthday. As all of the other reviews have mentioned, the restaurant is STUNNING! We started with drinks at the bar. The sangria was very good but a bit sweet for me. The Ágata (From the menu: Bold and revolutionary taste, bourbon, amaretto, lime.) was perfect! We had the salmon which was perfectly cooked and topped a bed of mashed potatoes with a side of broccoli. It was all so good. No leftovers here . The fajitas had a nice blend of seasonings complimenting each meat. The accompanying sides were super small, but still very good. Since it was my birthday, I was able to select a shot or a dessert. I opted for dessert, but unfortunately it never came. I was really wanting to try the churros, but waiting 20 - 25 minutes for them to come was not doable. The ambiance is very nice. The picture tell the entire story! Overall, I would recommend a visit here. read more

After reading several reviews that mentioned the ambience I expected to enjoy the vibe of Piedra, but I have to say it wowed me even more than expected. The moody lighting, live DJ playing music, and gorgeous interior together made it feel like we were on vacation away from Indianapolis. I had great service with good food recommendations - our server described the dishes and drink options, and she made it a point to bring us extra chips with the beans/salsa and tostada chips included for free. I enjoyed my enchiladas with four different meats/fillings and they were well flavored. I was worried it wouldn't feel "special" but it was very well executed and hit the spot. The real star of the meal was the pork shank though- the mole was truly amazing and it will be the favorite dish we come back to order again and again. read more

Piedra - Chicken tacos! - Beer Bar Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I was blown away by how trendy this place looks, almost like you're in downtown Los Angeles. A DJ? The energy here was on fire, and the center bar ends up making this place a show stopper for sure. I don't like to knock restaurants too much and honestly in the first 15 minutes being here I was excited to share a 5 star review however there were issues that I have to point out and hopefully next time things will be better. Being seated at a Mexican restaurant like this without a drink menu to start with feels wrong. I ended up requesting one and I really enjoyed the Mojito Margarita so much I ordered another margarita of course. I ate my entire meal in the time I was waiting for my second margarita, so it ended up being dessert unfortunately. Our server was wonderful and kept us updated during lulls in service. Everything I had was great, I highly recommend the ceviche. The menu is straight forward but you can go full streakhouse, or stick with Mexican classics. I will certainly be back to try their pozole. read more

I have to say, Piedra totally exceeded my expectations! The vibe is so inviting -- cozy but still full of energy -- and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. You can just tell they care about what they're doing. The food? Unreal. Everything tasted super fresh and full of flavor. The guac was perfection, and don't even get me started on the margaritas -- probably the best I've had in a long time (just the right balance of tart and sweet). It's one of those spots where you leave already talking about what you're going to order next time. I'm definitely adding this to my regular rotation -- if you haven't been, you're seriously missing out. read more

Food and Drink: delicious and aesthetic. I loved the baked oysters, the calamari dipping sauces, and my mezcal cocktails. My enchiladas were delicious, and I appreciated the variety of flavors. The appetizers came out at a variety of temperatures (cold, warm, and hot) but the rest of the food came out hot. Ambiance: Very demure, high-end feel. I didn't feel like I was in Indy. Loved the variety of seating (tables, booths, bar area, upstairs area). I liked the DJ but it did make the volume a bit loud so I appreciated it. Perfect for a girl's night! Service: Very good, top tier service from my server. Attentive, pretty knowledgeable, very personable. I was less impressed with the lack of hospitality and service by the hostess stand up front. read more

I know this is a new restaurant, so I'll be fair and say my experience was overall neutral. I really enjoyed the chips and salsa they brought out, and the queso was also solid. The taquitos appetizer was my favorite by far. The Rockefeller-style oysters, however, had way too much cheese -- it completely overpowered the oysters. If you love cheese, you might enjoy them, but if you're looking to actually taste the oysters, you'll be disappointed. The ceviche was pretty standard -- not great, not bad. I ordered the barbacoa tacos, which were also fairly standard but tasty enough that I'd order them again. I've included photos of my friends' meals as well -- everyone ate plenty and left full, though no one was particularly impressed. The service was on the slow side and required a fair amount of clarification and re-stating of orders to get things right. It's a new spot, so I imagine that will improve over time. My biggest issue -- and the main reason I may not return -- is the ventilation. The entire restaurant was so smoky that it felt like sitting in a cigar lounge. Of course, it was all from the kitchen, not actual smoking, but it made for an uncomfortable dining experience. read more

Remember the area on college and mass ave /!bottleworks that was under construction for a long long time? Well well well one of the new spots is Piedra. Public parking is super convenient and you only need to walk 10 steps outside in extreme winter to get to the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by a hostess and I saw many folks waiting for their table, and they all had reservations. We were seated within 10 minutes, and overall our service was not bad at all as I originally expected seeing the crowd at the front. As soon as we sat down (it was a tiny table for two), the server brought us hard tortilla with salsa and bean dip. It was alright. Next we ordered calamari appetizer which came fairly quickly. It was fresh from the fryer. Soon after we placed our drinks order and dinner order since the kitchen was getting busy. Funny enough our drinks and dinner came together so we didn't get much time to enjoy our drinks and appetizer, and it was difficult to fit everything on our tiny table. For dessert, we got the chocolate flan which was good too. I really liked the salmon entree and the sides it came with. The food was flavorful and I liked the speed of service but this wouldn't be the place to enjoy the ambience as it was loud and we felt a bit rushed. Overall a nice place for celebrating milestones. read more

Okay so it was a MUST to try out this new and super cute restaurant. My girl and I decided to go before the Brandy & Monica concert. Upon entering I didn't receive the warmest welcome. Hopefully that improves as I waited I noticed that to be a norm. Big smiles from the young lady that sat guests however. We had to sit at the bar due to no reso and it being packed. We were both okay with that but looking forward to a table service next time. Frieda! That's all I have to say. She was attentive, made some great suggestions and had some nice humor to her. Edwin was also another server that assisted us and he was considerate and attentive as well. I ordered the Verde Barrell marg=DELICIOUS! For my main dish I ordered the beef carpaccio and my friend got the arroz pollo. My carpaccio was delicious. I personally could have used more lemon in the arugula. My friend enjoyed her dish. Overall, I'd give them 9/10. HIGHLY recommend. I even got a chance to speak with one of the managers/owners Pablo to brag a little about Frieda & Edwin. I will be back. read more

We stopped by Piedra, the new Mexican spot in Bottleworks, and absolutely loved it! We sat at the bar and had really great service. The bartenders were very friendly and welcoming, and even made off-menu drinks for us based on what we liked. My tequila sour was perfect and one of the best I've had in a while. They brought out a complimentary little starter with salsa, bean dip, and crisped corn tortillas with tajín. It was a creative touch, though I kind of wished it was regular chips. We shared the steak fajitas and they were very tasty. The steak was tender and flavorful, came with rice and refried beans, and the guacamole was delicious (really limey!). It came out sizzling! The space is beautiful but a little over the top, with lots of fake plants and big statues. Even so, it adds to the energy and excitement of the restaurant. It was packed when we went and the wait was 2 hours, but we got a spot at the bar so we didn't have to wait the whole time. My only small note is that there weren't any purse hooks under the bar. Otherwise, I can't wait to go back! read more
