    Amor Pastor Tacos
    Brayton C.

    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.

    Piñata salad

    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!

    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!

    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

    Retro amor tacos
    Amber G.

    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!

    This place is incredible! We were driving to Holiday World and stopped here for dinner. Great drinks, fantastic service, and excellent food. I tried the Chicken Mole burrito (see picture) - it was great! Highly recommend.

Meal service requires you to order at the counter, then your food is brought out to you at a nearby table of your choice. This is a no-frills dining experience, but do not let that fool you...the food is top notch! I ordered a small variety of items to sample...a marinated pork taco, loaded steak fries and for dessert a flan. After a bit of a wait (they make everything to order), it all showed up at our table. The pork taco was dripping with charred pork flavor and came with grilled onions on the side. The double corn tortilla kept everything together as I dug in bite after bite. When the loaded steak fries showed up, my jaw dropped to the ground! This thing was big enough for 3-4 people to share...whoopsy! The crispy fries came layered with strips of grilled steak, a white cheese sauce, guacamole and a sour cream drizzle. Damn these things were good! And if that wasn't enough, I also ordered dessert because I am a sucker for flan (I grew up in Miami and have eaten probably one million flans). Honestly, was not a fan of their version's texture (too grainy, not creamy) and their sauce was not as sweet as many others I've had...but glad to have tried it. For being a small-town Indiana spot, I'd go back here no questions asked. There is an extensive menu for trying new stuff and I'd love to get that chance someday!

    Kitschy, yes, but despite that the food is genuinely spectacular…read more Bratwurst was super flavorful and cooked perfectly with a caramelized outside, a good snap, and a moist inside. The pretzel bun was heated appropriately and had the right amount of flavor. The optional spicy mustard is really powerful. My only possible complaint would be that the spatzle were a bit on the soggy side, perhaps overcooked. That said, the spatzle also come with an incredible sauerbraten gravy. My only regret, really, is not having had dessert.

    Lots of nostalgia here for me, as my family always loved to make the hour-ish trek here when I was…read morea kid...and I feel like it's held up well to those memories after a recent visit when I was in the area. Atmosphere is fun, it really embraces the German decor (saw a review or too calling it kitschy, in a good way, which I think is a fair description). Service is friendly and attentive (and in the costumed German garb to keep with the themes). Lots of classic German dishes (several schnitzel varieties, brats, spatzel, etc.). I won't say anything I've had over the years blows me away, but haven't had a bad choice either. The Wiener schnitzel I had most recently was tender and tasty, with a perfectly fried batter, and the German fries were nicely crisped on the exterior and beautifully seasoned. Good beer selection (including some brewed for the restaurant), reasonable wine list...love that you can go all out and have your beer in the classic giant boot! Small gift shop as well, some souvenir items as well as some candies and food options.
