It's clean and lively with TVs that we watched the World Cup while we ate. I would highly recommend this place and the street tacos.

Walking in at 11:30 we were one of the first customers…read more We were asked,"table or booth" handed menus and waited. Our server asked for our drink order. My husband ordered a margarita and he brought it right back. I ordered a coke and it took awhile to get. We ordered ground beef taco salads. They were awful. I had a at least 1/4 cup of liquid in the bottom of the shell. The burger was strange. I could not eat it No lettuce was on I the salad. It was more like a garnish When I showed it to the waiter he shrugged his shoulders. I asked if it was always that way, he shrugged his shoulders. I then told him to take it away He then asked if I wanted something else and I ordered chicken tacos saying I would make my own salad. Although not great much better. My husband asked for more lettuce to make his salad better. (It had water also). He was charged $1.25 for the lettuce then asked if I was going to eat the cheese and lettuce on my taco. After adding all this an extra chips he could eat his salad After bringing the check, the waiter once again asked if we were satisfied. We explained yes for the time being but explained again how bad the salads were he just smiled The restaurant was clean, tables cleared promptly and uniquely decorated.

I attended a girls night out for a party of nine. I went there after work so I was extremely…read morehungry. They seated us in a timely manner and Luz was our waitress. She was nice. They situated us in a room that was quaint enough for our party and our table was rounded so we all could connect. We were seated around 7:30 pm. We placed our orders for drinks and then our meals. When we got our chips and salsa we had to ask for napkins and when our dinner finally came we had to wait for silverware. I guess they were dirty so we couldn't eat our hot food because we had nothing to eat it with. We were fine with to go silverware but that wasn't offered to us. This went on for about 10 mins! After everyone got their dinner I was still waiting for mine. By the time my quesadilla came out everyone was almost finished with their meal. Again, I had just gotten off work so I was trying to be patient but my meal came out extremely late. Liz apologized for the inconvenience but I was not happy how they handled the situation. It gets worse. After I get my food and I'm halfway through it, I bit a piece of plastic that was in my quesadilla. I showed Liz and all she said was, "OH" and took the plate with her. No acknowledgment of what just happened and what I had showed her. If you've followed me for a period of time, you know I appreciate great customer service and this spot was horrible. Even if the food is trash I would still go back and try it again if the service was great. This place is a hard no for me. The unfortunate thing is that if I had acted crazy, yelled and became angry, I'm sure they would have addressed the issue. Not one manager came out while I was waiting for my food, when we waited for silverware or when I showed them the piece of plastic in my plate. At this point, I was extremely disappointed and I'll never patronize a business that can't take the time to address clear issues. When she brought out my bill there were no apologies, they actually charged me for something I didn't even order (tomatillos). Overall the food was flavorful but the service was not good. After we got our bill, Liz never came back to check on us. I guess after getting the gratuity from us having a big party we were no longer a concern. There are some amazing Mexican restaurants that value nice patrons and when you have a problem, at the very least, they will have management acknowledge it or address it. Completely disappointed with our experience. Side-note: I added the salsa to the queso because the salsa was super watery and I tried to thicken it with queso but it didn't work. My bill was around $30 including my drink, meal and the gratuity. Not bad for a girls night out but we'd rather be treated like valued patrons so we will definitely go elsewhere.

Luciana's Mexican Restaurant is a locally, family-owned Mexican restaurant named after the family's…read moreeldest daughter. The Indiana mini-chain has six locations - Broad Ripple, Clearwater Crossing, Greenwood, Columbus, Traders Point, and this spot just south of 96th and Meridian Street. This Luciana's is located in an office building with retail on the ground floor. This building includes the fairly new Swig (which consistently had cars around the building while we were dining here). Luciana's has a beautiful interior, however, my part of about nine people decided to eat on their spacious patio. The hostess saw me coming and noted that my party had already arrived and was on the patio. As a wheelchair user, I appreciated being able to go around the side and get directly to my table. Our server brought waters and took drink orders as our party arrived. Luciana's offers a full drink menu and all the usuals you would expect from a Mexican restaurant including appetizers, nachos, taco salads, quesadillas, burritos, tacos, chimichangas, fajitas, enchiladas, a few combination items, some specialty items, a kids menu, a vegetarian menu, and desserts. They serve Coke products (including the beloved Mr. Pibb) and have iced tea options. The atmosphere outside is pleasant. I've been trying to remember what restaurant this was before Luciana's. I for the life of me can't remember the name, however, I remember dining here. There are a couple accessible spots right near the front door (not quite ADA but pretty workable). There's a double-entry doorway and then the dining room. The outdoor dining is to the side of the building (visit the host area first). It's a weird area as it's a definite office park area with some apartments over a fence. Meridian, of course, stays busy. I ordered a "Big Quesadilla." If you're idea of a quesadilla comes from Red Burrito, you're going to be freaked out by this thing. Chips and Salsa were brought out and we ordered side queso. I ordered my usual unsweetened iced tea. Overall, this was a good experience. Service was good. Service definitely wasn't great. Our gathering is typically from 7-8:30pm. We'd just switched from another restaurant that we were simply tired of and were anxious to try something new. This is a better location, however, service was quite slow. I can appreciate casual and non-intrusive, however, we ended up getting done close to 9:30pm (partly fueled by a fun night). It just seemed like service was a step slow at each phase - getting drinks, taking orders, bringing checks, picking up checks, etc. It wasn't bad. It was noticeable. The food was solid, though I doubt I'd order this again. Again, easily 4-star. Definitely not 5-star. This was a good experience. I'd definitely return and I'd imagine we will return next month. We all enjoyed ourselves and the patio was a definite winner. While I'm not quite willing to fork over that fifth star, a return to Luciana's is definitely on the menu.

This isn't your lame corporate crispy tacos. These are corn tacos, and not those bland corn-esque cardboard tacos you can get at any grocery. The ones we had were vegan, tho of course there are several meat options. Ours were on the menu described this was way: BRUSSELS + LOCAL ZUCCHINI VG 6.50 crispy masa shell - amazeball - pickled vegetables - pico de gallo - salsa roja. Where it says amazeball? It's because they each have a maize ball in the crease of tacos. Like a soft pillow of the best grits you've ever eaten. Filled with, in our case, some pickled veg. Crispy brussels sprouts with fried zucchini one night and a few days later Brussels and asparagus. Gawd. I wish I had the words to describe them properly. Delicious and tasting more like fresh corn than any taco you've eaten. The ranchero beans were so good. The salsa for the chips was dark and rich, the margs were a knockout. Everywhere we ate in Indy was great but Cholita was outstanding. I had to go gush to the manager about our meal on our last night there. Poor man thought I was going to complain but I was there to lodge a compliment. Great service from staff who knows the food. Be sure and order a Batanga off the drink menu. I hope I make it back there someday. I wish I'd begged for a hat or tshirt. Cholita was simply stellar. Thank you, Cholita! Btw, after Cholita you must walk a couple blocks to an old train station for ice cream from Brics! We went hoping they might have one vegan ice cream or sorbet. They had like eight. Sooooo good! The staff was as great as the scoops!

One of our friends familiar with Cholita suggested we come back for Sunday Brunch which is exactly what we did a couple weeks later. The service was excellent and the food even better.

This time, I went back with a couple of friends and decided to give it another shot--and I'm really glad I did! The Chicken Fajitas were a 10/10 and easily some of the best fajitas I've had in a long time! We originally came in to try the fun shaved ice drinks we had seen all over their socials. Mine was delicious, but it very clearly had less than my friends' drinks ~ at least an inch from the rim while theirs were overflowing. Definitely gave us a good laugh, but when you're paying almost $10 per drink, it's something worth noting. Our server was great, especially considering she was new, and she kept us updated throughout the meal. Apparently, the bartender had called off, which caused the drinks to take a little longer than usual, but we appreciated her communication and transparency. Overall, the food was definitely a win this time around, and I'm happy I gave Sangrita another chance! That said, it probably won't become my go-to spot since you can find equally delicious food and drinks elsewhere with more options for not as expensive. Still, I'm glad I gave it another shot as the restaurant is beautiful and the food and drinks came out just as gorgeous!
