    Burrito Asada
    Nikki K.

    Delicious, and Affordable! We stumbled upon this small family-owned Mexican spot and couldn't be happier we did. Everything is made from scratch, and you can really taste the care that goes into each dish. Great service too and very friendly, kind people. The Asada Burrito was a standout--huge, packed with tender beef, rice, beans, and topped with their homemade salsa. All of this for just $10, and it comes with a fresh ensalada on the side. The flavors were spot on, and every bite was satisfying. We also tried the taco special, another $10 deal that didn't disappoint. The tacos were loaded with flavor, from the marinated meat to the crisp veggies, and that same amazing salsa. But the real surprise was the Cochinita Pibil. It's the best we've had since our trip to Mexico earlier this year. The pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with just the right blend of spices and citrus. This place is a true find-flavorful, and reasonably priced. We'll definitely be coming back!

    If on the far west side of town (Avon and off Raceway), visit Salsa Verde. It's great Mexican food. And, Monday and Wednesday are half price Margaritas. The Margaritas are wonderful! We always get their Fajitas. They are seasoned well and are excellent. My wife loves the onions ... she says they are caramelized perfectly. They come with the normal sides and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. The portions are large. The service is great ... very friendly. You receive complementary chips and salsa. Here's a tip, if Salsa Verde on Raceway is not near you or you don't want the drive, stop by for a meal to or from the airport. You won't be disappointed and it is far better and cheaper than what you'll get at Indianapolis International.

    Gringo tacos- ground beef

    My family loved this restaurant! We started with the dip trio which was delicious but dangerous. I was full on chips before my food even arrived. The trio included cheese dip, guacamole, and Salsa Verde's Own dip which is queso with ground beef and pico de gallo. I had the chile relleno which was delicious. They have a large menu and it was very customizable. I'd definitely like to try more of the menu. They have weekly specials as well. The service was great. We were greeted and seated right away and she checked on us several times throughout our meal. I don't live nearby but it's kinda close to my job so I'll definitely be ordering for lunch again soon!

    Had a gift card to use here. We got the dip trio it was good but we didn't like the chips. Hard and tasted like bag chips. I got shredded beef and ground beef tacos. Shredded beef was good but ground beef was not, it had no flavor. Hubs got street tacos. Steak and chorizo. The steak had no flavor but he liked the chorizo. Won't go back due to much better flavor options. I will say the service was good and fast.

    I was craving some Mexican style food and I know this isn't authentic authentic Mexican ok but it's like 5 minutes from my house and I've never been so I decided to finally try it out. It's actually so beautiful inside, full of (probably fake) plants on the ceiling but they were very beautiful. The hostess got us seated right away and I wish I knew our servers name because she was extremely nice and super attentive!! She's a very big part of why I'm giving 5 stars! I ordered a ceviche for an appetizer and I can't even explain how good that was! It was my favorite thing I ordered all together, the taste was mind blowing it was so good!! I had the green salsa enchiladas which were pretty good but not the best enchiladas I've ever had. I got a quesadilla order for my kid which was only $5 which is a great deal for a kids meal and it was an even bigger deal once I saw how much she got! The quesadilla was huge she didn't even finish it lol but yay for left overs! I had a great experience over all and the staff was above and beyond friendly! I would definitely recommend popping in for some good food!

    Nothing here was particularly bad, but nothing was particularly great. Either a very mediocre Mexican restaurant with kind of average prices as others have said I found it kind of bland as well. I would've liked the rice. I've had a little bit of chicken broth to it or something, it was just kind of bland and the beans didn't have enough seasoning and they were nice and smooth, but I prefer them to have a little more cake or zip too, the meat was a lot of grease on my shirt, but that's not really. It was pretty juicy and tasty however, of liked a lot more cheese in quesadilla. The meat was great, but but you know the quesadillas supposed to be cheese first the shell was a little soft and crisp thick as I would've liked, I had a chimichanga chicken. The chicken was moist again, kinda lacking and seasoning a little bit plain cheese saucetaco salad she said it had a nice mix of everything was pretty well put together. All the meals were lacking guacamole I didn't really see it offered something put on either. She's a big fan of that, but they didn't seem to have much. She says you can get a side of it for three dollars my main grump about this place is first off first time we came on New Year's Eve and they closed real early and I bought a Groupon and had drove over an hour and wasn't planning on coming back for quite a while, I went this time to use that Groupon because it was about to expire. I also didn't like the Groupon because it was $40 for like 21 something but I didn't read the fine print and you had to buy for meals. We've been really want to both buy two meals. We would've liked to bought two nicer meals and bought you an appetizer and drinks and stuff but you know that's what we were stuck with. I don't like having to buy four meals. Also, they are Pepsi products which I never like. service was fairly prompt. Bathrooms were clean. I got happy that happened to get seated in the booth that had a plug because my phone was low on charge for the closing New Year's Eve and if I could've gotten my Groupon, they would've gotten four stars.

    Authentic Mexican food! Clean restaurant, very nice service. Great selection on the menu. Very tasty full bar with great margaritas.

    Love this place! Have been here several times since they've opened (still somewhat new... or in my brain they are anyways). My personal fav is sitting on their patio in the summer. Its small, but you can't beat frozen margs and summer time. They always have a groupon going on here, I take advantage of the buy $12 for $20 worth of food. I will say that this is a pricier Mexican restaurant than other ones close by, but buying the Groupon really does even it out. On Tuesdays they have $1 tacos (cant use the Groupon on this day). On Wednesday and Friday they have half priced margs. Most recently, we went on a Thursday. We ordered margs (I recommend the mango), guacamole (they put a MAGICAL cheese on it. Idk what it is. But order guacamole. You won't regret it), a chimichanga, enchiladas, and a chorizo taco. Everything was delicious as always. I've never tried their mole sauce (on the enchiladas) before this time, and its a unique taste but super yummy! We had Alondra when we went. She was so friendly and polite! Gave wonderful service as well. We will 100% be back!

    Ceviche on a plate
    Wanda M.

    This was my first time dining here. I'm not sure why it took me so long to visit since I drive past often. The restaurant sits in the corner of the strip center located on the corner of Raceway Road and Rockville Road. It sits at the opposite end of Panera. Parking isn't an issue either since it's in a strip center. I stopped in after shopping for a quick drink and appetizer since we were having a late dinner. I was greeted immediately as I entered. The dining area felt a little small and choppy with a wall separating the area. Seating consists of tables and booths and social distancing was being practiced. I opted for a booth away from the entrance. My server was attentive without being intrusive and checked on me several times. My drink and food arrived timely which helped make this a quick stop. I looked over the menu which has all the traditional quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas, burritos and nachos. Since I only wanted a light appetizer I ordered the ceviche. I think she said the fish was tilapa and of course mixed with onions, peppers, diced tomatoes, cilantro, cumin and lime juice. The ingredients were fresh and everything was a tiny dice making it easier to eat. I enjoyed the freshness of the ingredients and the well blended flavors. Strangely, the ceviche was served on a plate instead of a margarita glass or bowl as most restaurant do. It didn't make for a pretty presentation and it was a little more difficult to eat than if it were in a bowl type container. Regardless, it was tasty. I plan on returning to try items from the lunch or dinner menu. The food I did see looked good so I'm anxious to return.

    Salsa Verde has made some changes for the better I would say! We were in last night for taco Tuesday and they are now a sit down restaurant. No more ordering at the counter and having your food delivered to your table. Now when you walk in they seat you and take your order at the table. When seated we were served chips and salsa which before you had to pay for, works for me cause we always ordered it. It seemed like they have a larger menu now. We just ordered the $1 tacos so I did not look at all of it. They have removed the salsa bar. But to me it not a big deal cause the salsa they brought to the table is the only thing I ever got off the bar. So it made room for two more tables. Our tacos were great like always. Keep up the good work Salsa Verde and we will see you soon!!

    Salsa Verde is located off of Raceway road on the westside of town. The interior is vibrant and clean and the staff are friendly. They have a nice menu that include, fajitas, quesadillas, enchiladas, and yes churros! The street style chicken tacos had a great seasoning. The Mexican style street corn was good as well. The guacamole is fresh as is the salsa and chips. Salsa Verde just has a nice fresh atmosphere to it. Will be back! :-)

The restaurant is sleek and has a cool vibe, but we immediately realized it was not going to be what we thought of when we saw "street tacos" mentioned during Google search. It's more of a metropolitan American Soul fusion place, with a heavy emphasis on loaded, uniquely flavored tacos instead of traditional Mexicana. The server was wonderful in explaining their menu and gave multiple recommendations, which I went with all of her great suggestions once I told her what I was craving. My husband didn't enjoy his appetizer, saying it tasted too sweet instead of savory for him, but the server was great at being aware of our plates and took the appetizer off our bill when she noticed he wasn't eating it without us even mentioning it. I got three different tacos, and the only one I didn't enjoy was due to the Mac n cheese that was stuffed in it. It just didn't taste or feel right having a taco with macaroni that was pushed in so densely that it became a sponge. The other two were great! My husband gave his burrito a 3/5, as he felt it was too much one note. Overall, don't come here if you're looking for upscale Mexicana, but instead want to enjoy interesting fusion flavors and fun cocktails. Great place for a group outing or celebration!
