I'm skeptical of taco shops sometimes, I'm scared I'll get one of those Americanized places trying to be authentic, but this place was SO good and lived up to the hype. Also very clean inside out and the bathroom too! Plenty of seating and the patio was nice. We ordered chips & salsa, camarones (shrimp) dinner, Quesabirria, chicken, shrimp, & a fish taco. Overall we loved everything but the chicken taco, but only because I don't like that kind of cheese, the chicken itself was great. Plenty of limes with the tacos, salsa bar was fresh, unlimited pico! The mild salsa that comes with the chips were my fave and the chips were crispy and warm. I'd order all of the same things and add a house margarita or fried ice cream. we really indulged but left feeling full but not in a gross way. The food was fresh & not greasy either. Highly recommend the shrimp and fish taco. Amazing!! read more

This is a hidden gem of an authentic Mexican restaurant. It occupies a weird building that is across from a Marathon gas station. But it's not associated with the gas station (don't go in there to buy lotto tickets) as the convenience store is on the other side of the pumps as is a Dunkin Donuts. There's a nice patio in front, but it's facing Michigan Rd which is basically a highway so I have never seen anyone sitting out there. Thr inside is much quieter, but there's not much to the decor. No sombreros or Mexican flags here. But that's not why you come here. Order from the counter and pick up your food when it's called. They have a limited bottled beer menu and they also serve margaritas. And the drinks are cheap. :) As their name implies, they specialize in tacos, especially quesabirria tacos. But they also have several other tacos (lengua, tripa, pastor, chirizo, chicken mole, shrimp, etc), all a la carte. I like their tacos, but I come here for the pozole. read more

Quesa Tacos - $5 house margaritas every day - Mexican Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

This place is great. Awesome spot for tacos that are still decently priced. No frills trying to include extras in the food in order to jack up the price. Just quality, well-made food, that is made fresh to order. I came here solo to try the tacos since I had been seeing the great reviews and I was not disappointed. I ordered a quesabirra taco, pastor taco, and steak taco to go. They have a salsa bar where you can try ~6 different salsas. They even offer small to go containers with lids if you are not eating at the restaurant. The tacos were still hot by the time I got home and they were delicious. My favorite was the quesabirria, but all of them were plenty flavorful. They come with a lime and that is it, besides the topics listed on the menu, which is really all you need. I tried the spicy verde and spicy tomatillo salsas and both were the perfect amount of spice and wonderful flavor. It was so good I brought the family back the next day. We came mid-morning and we were hoping to try the breakfast tacos. However, they were not on the menu and, when we asked, they said they no longer did breakfast. This was disappointing, but everyone enjoyed their food and my birria burrito was good as well. I prefer the tacos, but if you enjoy burritos, definitely give it a try. The restaurant ambiance is well lit, has 1 or 2 TVs, and music playing. The service was good, not over the top, but did not leave me begging for more as well. I highly recommend this spot for Tacos. Can't wait to come back on Tuesdays for $2 tacos! read more

I've been through the drive-thru a few times and have gotten the steak and chicken tacos, and both were delicious! Today was my first time dining inside, and I was pleasantly surprised by how cute it is! I tried the arroz con pollo this time, and it was pretty good. I'll definitely be back! read more

Quesa Tacos - Chips and Queso - Mexican Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Great spot for Taco Tuesday, especially if you get off work late and miss the usual happy hour drink specials. For under $10, you can grab 2 tacos and a margarita, which is a great deal. You place your order at the counter, grab a number, and they'll bring your food out to you. If you're in a hurry, you can also order to-go and sip your margarita while you wait for your tacos. The tacos come on corn tortillas topped with lettuce, cheese, and a lime on the side. There's also a self-serve bar with a variety of sauces so you can customize your tacos how you like. I tried one chicken and one beef taco and thought they were equal in taste. Good place to dine on a budget. read more

Fast casual place, order at counter, and they brought food over. Everything was tasty. The queso was hot, creamy and not spicy, the chips were crisp. The tacos were filling, I liked that they had a salsa bar that you can get pick and pickled carrots and jalapeños. If I was in the area, I would be back! read more

Authentic Texas Style Tacos! Both indoor or outdoor seating. We happened to come on Taco Tuesday and tacos were $2 each! I got the chicken and cheese taco and also got chips and Guacamole. You order at the counter and get a number to take to your table. There is a salsa bar with various styles of heat for your taco. Nice decor. The guacamole is excellent!! You get a lot of guacamole and it's authentic! The chips seemed to be homemade as well. I will return to taste more of the menu! read more

This was an unexpected surprise! Walking in the place was cleaner and larger than I was expecting. The menu is large and there were lots of options. I ordered a variety of tacos to try out and a margarita. The tacos came out fast and were decent. The shrimp was my favorite. The fish taco was good, but the fish would have been better deep fried. The margarita was pretty darn good. Overall Quesa Tacos is a great value. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the neighborhood. Good service, good food! read more

Loved this little taco place! The inside was a fun Mexican restaurant vibe and the workers were all very nice. I ordered 3 tacos, chicken, pastor, and carnitas. They were all delicious and were the closest street tacos I've found to authentic tacos I used to have when I lived in Texas. I also went on a Tuesday and they have $2 tacos all day on Tuesdays. Food came out very fast. I can't wait to come back again and try more of the interesting things I saw on their menu! read more

This place has no reason to be as good as it is. In a gas station annex building, among a bunch of big box stores and chains, and in Carmel/Zionsville, not exactly known for their Mexican food in the first place. But now they not only serve rocking tacos, but breakfast too! These aren't the cheapest tacos out there, but they are very good, fresh, hot, and the place is very well kept and clean. read more

A drive-through taco place? Sign me up! Quesa tacos is my colleague's favorite taco place so had to stop by. Very good tacos & great guacamole. Would definitely include this on my list of places to eat at if I'm out and about. read more

This is kind of a mashup of a fast casual place with a traditional taqueria: the decor and marketing look polished like a chain and you order at a counter, but the food was as good as much more traditional family-run spots and the cashier said this is their only location. The tacos I had (shrimp and birria) were so flavorful, the chips were deliciously crispy, the queso was plentiful, and the house marg was like $5 and actually great. I didn't even get to try out the fresh salsa bar! I'll be back! read more

The atmosphere was a vibe, and it was very clean. The man that took our order was kind and patient. Every table had fresh, real flowers in small vases, which was a nice touch. Food was good--more spice would've made it great. I ate the burrito because my boyfriend is picky, and it came with the things he asked for it without. It was a hearty burrito though! The churros were perfection A lot of places fail to cook the churros through the middle, but they nailed it here. They came with a serving of vanilla ice cream and dulce de leche syrup, I believe. It wouldn't be my first choice for Mexican food, but it definitely wouldn't be my last! read more

TL;DR Great tacos and burritos. Beer and margaritas too. Taking over the old DQ spot on Michigan Road, this place could be easily over looked. It shouldn't! The very helpful woman behind the counter helped my wife and I narrow down our choices. I ordered a Chorizo Taco with cheese between the shell and a Carnitas Taco. The Chorizo was fantastic, and the cheese between the shells is the way to order the taco. The Carnitas was a bit dry but tasty nonetheless. (this is the only reason it's not 5 stars). My wife got the Carnitas Burritos and loved it! We got a side of chips and salsa. They have a salsa bar to accompany it. The hot salsa was actually hot. It was my excuse to order a second Dos XX. They also have Coke products. I plan to return to try other things! read more

Quesa Tacos - Chorizo Taco and Carnitas Taco - Mexican Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Recently opened...this place was a nice change. Great menu options. Some of the tacos are very unique. Chips and salsa were great. They do serve alcohol. Bathrooms and restrooms were clean. Parking is small but still plenty of parking. Service was great! Highly recommend this place. read more

Based on the reviews, I was so excited to try the birria tacos, but they were a let down. They didn't have much flavor, weren't very crispy, and fell apart as I ate them. That said, the drinks were great and I loved the thick queso dip and many salsa options. I'll have to try a different kind of taco next time. read more

Quesa Tacos is an upscale taqueria that opened recently. The location is kinda hidden off a congested segment of Michigan Road. The decor is lovely, open, airy, with live cactus, pink chairs and sea grass hanging lights. Gentle Mexican music plays overhead. You order at the rear and are given a number. Pick a seat and drinks comes out quickly and food comes out in about 10 minutes. The clerk is friendly and patient. I ordered 3 street tacos. The Chicken Mole taco stole the show for me. The mole was flavorful and chicken very good. The chicken taco was very good and filling. Both tacos were topped with marinated red onions. The Birria taco was good. The Burrito de Birria huge and filling. It is difficult to eat by hand and also difficult to eat cut and eat on paper. Would have been better served in a bowl or plate. But I applaud their use on non-plastic tableware. Chips and salsa are a la carte. They were fresh and the salsa tangy. They offer Pepsi products, beer and assorted margaritas which looked very good. The restrooms are beautiful with petrified wood sinks. They offer drive-thru meals, have a few breakfast options. There is also a kid's menu. They are opened for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall, great atmosphere, service and fresh ingredients. read more

Service is nice and efficient. The pozole arrived screaming hot with melt in your mouth meat and peppers I could see. It arrived with the normal fixings but also a dark molasses looking syrup. It tastes really smoky and enhanced the soup. Daughter loved her burria and said it was so juicy it didn't need the consommé (it didn't come with it) . Hubby had the pastor torta. Only complaint was that the meat was "lukewarm." But said he'd order it again. The place is super clean. They work hard at it. Overall, a really nice addition to Carmel! read more

Been here three times now, and have ordered a variety of things. Everything is very fresh and made to order. Good quality ingredients, guacamole is really well made, chips are fresh and crispy. All three visits were at the drive through. Milanese torta was really, really good, although I might ask them to skip the beans because it made it a little soggy after my drive home. Birria tacos were really good, chicken torta was tasty and not dry, lingua tacos were delicious. Only negative was the carnitas (burrito) and pastor (torta) were a little too fatty for my tastes - might have gotten it at the end of the run. The Milanese though; was really tasty and lean, definitely my go-to for the future - and it's a healthy size. Nice people and good service. read more

This is an elevated experience for this particular part of Michigan Road, so I appreciate the effort. When I visited on a Sunday afternoon after church, I did not know it was a "real" restaurant because it is in a fast food shell. When you enter the store, the decor raises your expectations a bit, but you order at a counter from a menu above the worker, and that made the prices feel high for the takeaway experience I was getting. I was really hoping that the food would be so delicious I would be able to give them a great review, but I actually found the beef taco to be bland. The fish taco was more tasty. There were other diners sitting at tables who seemed happy enough so perhaps other items on the menu are more memorable. Loved that the food is fresh, not just assembled. I was underwhelmed by the whole experience. read more

When we visited they had only been open maybe a month but they have the system dialed in! Ordered at the counter with a friendly employee.. then noticed they had a salsa bar.. grabbed a few to try.. I got Pozole and yum!!! Hubby got tacos same reaction YUM! We also got chips and salsa and glad we did because it let us try their homemade salsa. We couldn't find a salsa we didn't like. Keep in mind its order at counter then they will bring the food to your table.. they also checked on us while we were eating- so the service is much more personal than other fast casual spots. Finally they put thought into a modern decor and design - very relaxing environment. Give em a try - i think they will impress read more

Do not just drive by this spot just because it shares its parking lot with a gas station. They have some tasty tacos and not just your basics. They have chicken mole and birria not to mention beer and margaritas. You order at the counter and then your food is brought to you at 1 of many options insideor do what I did and go eat on the patio. I ordered 3 tacos and a house margarita all for 20$ which seems like a still and it was a great way to bid my time as I was waiting for my car to get worked on. All 3 tacos I ordered were delicious birria, chicken mole, and asada. I will be definitely be back! read more

Quesa Tacos - Enchiladas Mexicanas - Mexican Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Their chorizo burrito is as good as it gets. They have a salsa bar with a few different types of salsa. The carrot cake is outstanding. The tres leches cake is good too. The food is a little bit expensive for fast food. There is an option to leave a tip when you pay at the counter....That's kind of a gray area. It's a fast food place, but they bring the food to your table and they occasionally have to wash some dishes so ugh... read more

Finally had the chance to try out Quesa Tacos and we were not disappointed! Clean place with a fun interior, plenty of parking, great service and good food! The salsa bar was our favorite.

Don't pass this place by! Much better than my expectations, a great experience! This is definitely not just a taco stand, there are many different items on the menu. There is a drive-thru and you can order at the counter, online, or by phone. The interior is very attractively decorated, tables, chairs, and booths are solid and comfortable. No cheap plastic seats here! It is also much larger inside than it appears from the exterior. Bright and colorful! There is a nice patio with several tables that will be nice in warmer weather. The food is excellent! Today I ordered two veggie tacos to go. My food was packed very well in a sturdy container. There is a salsa bar with several salsa options, all are clearly labeled. Everything was spotlessly clean. Definitely give this place a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

I went through drive thru which was easy and quick. I ordered 3 different tacos, queso-Birria taco, carnitas taco, and the steak taco. Right off the bat the tacos looked really appetizing! Hands down the birria taco was delicious, the meat was tender and flavorful. It was a great taco and would return for that taco again! Unfortunately, the other two tacos were ok. Just a little dry and needed just a pinch more flavor. I enjoyed the drive thru and customer service! read more

Located in Carmel, In across from Prime car wash on Michigan Rd. You can dine in, visit the drive-through, or order carry-out for delivery Nice location that has more than tacos to offer. The tacos could use a bit more flavoring, but other than that, they are fulfilling. Next time I will try an entrée. The service was good. In this establishment you order at the counter and the food is then delivered to your table. You can choose between appetizers, tacos, tortas, burritos, gringas, entrees and a variety of beverages. I ordered one fish taco and one shrimp taco along with a Texas margarita. The shells are corn and there are several option to pick from a the salsa bar. I dined in on this day and because it' new the ambience is nice. Check this place out, I will be back! read more

This place has been open only 2 months. I really enjoyed it. It's not the best Birria I've had but not bad. We stopped for a lunch on Saturday and we were the only people in there. We had 6 people we all got Birria but 2. My daughter ordered steak but they gave her Birria which she didn't care for. Someone got the pork and said it was delicious. 3 people got Birria tacos and only one got consome which was odd. read more

We've been to Quesa Tacos on Michigan Rd. about a half dozen times, starting four months after they opened (to give a place a little time to work out any kinks from New-ness). It's clean and a comfortable place. The staff people who have taken our orders at the counter have been a bit quiet and distant at first, likely trained to be very attentive to what the customer orders, and precise (a v good thing). And every one of them has been warm and friendly a bit later one (like delivering your food or answering questions). We've only eaten tacos there, with a few takeout orders; everything traveled home just fine and seemed just as good as eating at the restaurant. We've had plenty of the carne asada, the pollo, carnitas and a few birria -- all super tasty, and enhanced by the salsa we get at the salsa bar. They must have a few new people who are pros in that kitchen now, as the portion size and presentation have both gone up in quality in recent weeks -- from good or very good to excellent. Last week we saw a big dinner of fried red snapper coming out from the kitchen, w/ salad, rice, beans, and it was impressive ... a meal for two or more, and I think only $24 (July 2025). We are definitely going to try that soon. And, we'll be trying the shrimp and fish tacos, as well. As long as the quality stays this good, and the place clean, the staff efficient, Quesa Tacos will have a long residency there. read more
