On our road trip from Virginia, we ended up staying 2 nights at a hotel in Jasper, IN. Looking for something that wasn't "road food", we found Retro Mexico on an internet search. We pulled in on a Sunday evening around 6:00 and the parking lot was packed, always a good sign. The vibe of this place is incredible. Rather than fill the dining room with all the Mexican tropes most do, here the owner leaned into a party vibe. Bright and bold pop art portraits of pop music stars, Mexican wrestling mask art, and a pop music soundtrack from 70s-90s. The menu is also different. Of course there are some of the traditional dishes you would expect, but the menu also pops with some great twists and unexpected combinations of flavors. In fact we loved our meal so much, we left the Holiday World theme park early so we could eat there again before heading home. They were even busier on a Monday night! We recommend the Foxxy Chopped Salad, the Ponata salad, the Chicken Mole (yummm) and the Steak Bowl. We didn't see a single thing come out of the kitchen we wouldn't have eaten. The staff could not have been friendlier. The owner was working the bar the first night we were there and came over to talk to us. He really want everyone to have a great time when in his restaurant. If you happen to find yourself in Jasper, check them out. read more

We absolutely loved our visit to Retro. It's an elevated Mexican experience with a large menu full of creative dishes. I loved my burrito and also extremely impressed with the hot salsa we sampled. It's also just a cool room in a lovely town. We will definitely return the next time we are in town. read more

Tried Retro today. Ordered Arroz Con Pollo, Amor Pastor Tacos, Tomatillo Verde Salsa and Jalapeño Margarita. All food was tasty. To be honest the service was friendly, however was not super fast and was not super attentive as far as being asked for things by the table. Will be back. Experience was good overall. Restaurant seems to be trying to be different and is popular for doing so. read more

Great food, decent budget if you do it right I'd recommend the chicken quesadilla.. did you have chips and salsa.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the food and service. The staff were all friendly and checked on us frequently. I do enjoy Mexican cuisine and this place is top shelf for sure! It is a little tricky to find, but completely worth it. read more

Outstanding steak quesadillas. Great service. Nice view. Little disappointed with the margarita but it was still ok. Highly recommend this restaurant read more

This hot, hip, new Mexican joint definitely fills a void in the Jasper, Indiana area. You'll find an array of Mexican street tacos, burritos, enchiladas, margaritas and more on the menu. Chips and salsa are brought to the table but you can also order other salsas that range from a jalapeño tomatillo to a sweet mango peach. Lots of varieties and unique flavors to choose from! I had the chorizo tacos, which came with a side of rice, cilantro, onions and a yummy sauce to pour on the tacos. The tortillas are homemade and the rice was delicious. Two thumbs up for this filling entree. My husband had a taco salad and enjoyed it and my brother-in-law got a vegan bowl. This traditionally comes with guacamole on top, but due to his avocado allergy, they substituted sour cream. His review of his meal is that it was "fire." We didn't have to wait long even though it was a holiday weekend and both the manager and our server were excellent. I 100% recommend that you stop in Retro Mexican Cuisine next time you're in the Jasper area. It's got so much going for it in a small town with fairly limited food options! read more

The best Mexican food I've had in the area and the largest selection as well. Unlike others there was some heat and spice to my meal and the salsa. Our server Katlin was great and the ambiance definitely lived up to the retro in their name. Definitely will return. My only disappointment was that there is only one name on the Titan Wall of Fame. read more

Excellent Mexican. Black beans and rice. With Great friendly servers. Very attentive and food came out quickly.

I took my family to Retro Mexican Cuisine for dinner while we were in town. We're headed to Holiday World tomorrow and everyone was craving some good Mexican food tonight. We weren't disappointed in the slightest. My wife and I both loved our meals. (ARROZ CON POLLO & CARNE ASADA) Our 5 kids all loved their meals as well. (MINI ARROZ CON POLLO x2, SPAGHETTI WITH RED SAUCE, & CHEESE QUESADILLA) Our server Teresa was awesome! She was very kind and attentive. She refilled each of my kiddos drinks multiple times. Lots of lemonade.. My son accidentally dropped a freshly poured lemonade on the ground, and Teresa rushed over and insisted she clean it up even when he offered to help. We need more servers like her in restaurants nowadays! The restaurant sat behind another restaurant, and was across the street from some cool ponds. The interior was well lit and was very clean. We also sat outside after dinner where my wife and I enjoyed our margaritas and watched the kids run around. Highly recommend if you live in the area, or are stopping through! 10/10 read more

We enjoyed a meal after Christmas and had a nice experience! I had the piñata salad which is served in a pineapple! Super fresh and refreshing. I needed a little spice, so I used the salsa as the dressing. My husband had the chicken poblano fajitas and really liked them. The sauce on top was 10/10. Our kids ground beef tacos weren't the best (by my taste buds), but the kiddos ate them. The service is also great. The wait staff is super kind, friendly, and accommodating. They had free little figurines of Jesus, and our kids LOVED playing with them while we waited for our food. Please come and support this small business and the great people who run it! read more

Wow. Although the service was initially slow, the food, service, and ambiance more than made up for it. We were served by Apollo (aka Fernando) who was very attentive. The menu options were super unique - i loved the Mexican / American fusion. There were a few items on the menu I'd never seen before. The star of my experience was the food (Retro Amor Tacos) - everyone else at my table was pleased with theirs. The vibe is very cool and I loved sitting outside on the patio. I'll be coming back here each time I'm back in Jasper! read more

My family was in town for a funeral. We all love Mexican food and I found this place on yelp. It had perfect reviews. We decided to try it. It was one the BEST Mexican restaurants I've experienced. Not just the food that was excellent it was also the service. We had a party of 10 had they accompanied us perfect. Try it out if you live around Jasper. read more

Honestly almost as good as Los but will make you poop a lot!! I'm Mexican and my stomach can't handle it!

This place is awesome, we will be back very soon. The only knock i could give this place is that they are having issues communicating with their front of house staff team. That needs to get fixed. Get that fixed and its a 5 star place. Food is amazing and this is the place to be at in Jasper. Great ambiance inside and the view outside is awesome. If they continue like this they will be a staple of Jasper. Our meals were amazing, chips and salsa were just that. Cant wait to try something else. read more

We came from out of town to go to Holiday World, and ended up eating here twice during our stay. One hundred percent appreciated the welcoming and friendly staff. Everyone was SO nice, including the husband and wife owner/manager team. This hospitality makes a huge difference in terms of making one feel welcome in a new town. The food & margaritas were delicious. Would come back again and again. Thank you for the great experience, Retro Mexican Cuisine! read more

The food was GREAT. So yummy. But I woke up at 4 am the next day after eating there with food poisoning. Body aches, fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite... no fun for a pregnant woman. I got a new menu item, though I don't remember what it was called. Like I said, it was great food, but after feeling how I did today, I am scared to return . read more
