Asada y chorizo Alambre and asada burrito grande.
Veronica O.

This unassuming place really packs a punch when it comes to flavorful food! We've been going here for the last few weeks off and on and have had great experiences each time. The food is prepared very well and the portion sizes are plentiful. We've had their nachos, quesadilla, alambre, and tortas. Everything was delicious and filling. They even have some menu items that are more of the authentic variety (such as tripa and menudo). The only thing that is not my favorite about it is there doesn't always seem to be a lot of drink options, at least ones that work for us. My husband is type 1 diabetic, so if he wants a soda it needs to be diet. They didn't have any diet options when we were there last. They do have other beverage options, so if diet drinks are not in the equation for you, then you shouldn't have an issue with their choices. Despite the small beverage item, Tortas is quickly becoming my go-to for Mexican take out. There is seating inside, but we prefer to just pick it up and take it home. Also there is some parking right in front of the building. They seem to work with a skeleton crew so sometimes patience is needed, but everyone we've encountered have been super friendly and the food is worth the wait! Looking forward to working our way through the rest of the menu!

The food here is delicious. Their specialty is a dish called Tortas, but they have other options as well. A Torta kind of resembles an off the grill hoagie. The bread is crispy but light weight. The cheese is melted and delicious. I also want to add they are not stingy when it comes to stuffing their Tortas. They also have different agua frescas, but they vary when you visit. The service was great and because i consider it a hidden gem it's spacious and quiet.

Excellent authentic Mexican food. Fast fresh and hot! Nice people! Complimentary chips and salsa if you dine in.

One of the best tortas I have had in Indianapolis! The pachuquena is amazing!!! Fresh made ingredients, salsas and sides!!! Clean and friendly too.

Very good Torta. Didn't try the tacos this time but last time I had it was delicious. The are is really bad and building from the outside looks crappy, but the inside is better. Horchata was on point. Mexicans don't eat burritos so I will not try it since that isn't authentic so I can't say anything about that. I'm giving this a 4 star because the chips weren't the ones we usually eat. Salsa felt from the can (except the ones for the actual food) and the outside look. The actual food was great.

Only been here once and can't wait to return! Ordering is easy enough-- look at the large menu canvas hanging above the counter and order there. Be sure to check out the daily drink specials posted by the front door. We ordered the Heineken special for $3.99 and the mugs were so cold, part of the beer had frozen and was floating in it! I ordered the Tacos Supreme with steak. It came overflowing with toppings that I ended up using my fork at first. My husband ordered a burrito (it was National Burrito Day) and it was so big that he had enough leftover for lunch the next day.

Muy Bien!!

Decided to try this little Mexican restaurant for lunch today. You walk up to the counter to order and pay and they will bring the food to your table. The negatives first: * They had some nice beer selections on tap, but the taps weren't working-disappointed * Several TV's around the room, but they were very loud and playing children's shows, that, combined with some Spanish music in the background was a little annoying for me *. Not a big deal, but I ordered one taco as Supreme and the other with just the cilantro and onion, but both came out as Supreme. The girl offered to take it back, but I was ok with it the way it was. *. Our waitress had a little difficulty understanding English and when we asked if there was a spicier sauce than what was on the table, I don't think she understood. I am pretty sure they have a red sauce that is hot, based on what other reviewers have said. I didn't care for the brown sauce that we were served, however, I did like the verde sauce. *. Tortilla chips were not made fresh, they were ok, but nothing special The positives: *. Several choices of bottled beer available, they also have several other soft drinks to choose from *. My tacos were good...had one steak and one pastor, both served in a corn tortilla shell, both very tasty *. Guacamole was fresh, but needed salt and the cheese sauce was pretty good, did have to ask them to heat it though, it was not warm when it was served to us * Reasonable prices All in all, it's pretty good. I would recommend it for a lunch or quick dinner, but probably not for a night out type of evening. We may visit again sometime, but want to try some other places for comparison.

The food is fantastic!! Everything was very flavorful. It is a small place, but everyone was friendly and very concerned with our experience. Definitely worth stopping in and taking a look. We will be coming back. You order at counter and they give you a number and then bring you, your food. We started off with chips and queso. The chips tasted homemade. The queso was tasty. My wife likes it more than me. I'm not a cheese lover like she is. My wife and I both got chicken burritos. They were stuffed and we didn't even get them as "grande" which includes rice and beans inside. We also got 2 steak tacos to try the steak. They were awesome. I only got them with onion and cilantro and the flavor was great. I add some Verde sauce they have. It has a small amount of heat, but great flavor. The Red sauce is straight fire. It has nice flavor, but the heat from it is crazy. I love really spicy food, but this was too much for me. It is popular, everyone there was using it. The prices are good. 2 large burritos, 2 tacos, chips & queso and 2 sodas for about $20. Can't beat that. The soda is cans or bottles so no refills. Cans were $1.

After dinner at The Dining Room at RH, we were looking for a place to go for a night cap. Specially…read morea place within a mile or two that has a full bar. Naturally, I pulled up the Yelp app to search for something open nearby for recommendations. Turns out Delicia is one of my friend's boyfriend's favorite restaurant in Broad Ripple. They both frequent the restaurants in that area as they live in the neighborhood so that's definitely saying something and I can see why based on the vibe and atmosphere! We were only there for drinks (which were amazing) and they were definitely worth making another trip for. I ordered the "Pulparindo" which is slightly spicy tamarind vodka, fresh mango puree, raw sugar simple, lime juice and a yummy tajin rim. I would have had more of it wasn't last call when we placed our order. Another popular choice was the "FIRE 'N' Ice" made with el charro jalapeño infused reposado tequila, hibiscus I basil I habanero reduction, tres chiles infused ice ball. Beautiful presentation with all the drinks. Our waitress was great and attentive. I also really liked how I felt instantly in a better mood in that space and I will be going back again for dinner soon.

We tried this spot for a birthday celebration on. Sunday evening and we were not disappointed!…read more The restaurant was clean and had a cozy vibe sitting in the large booth with my family. The service was quick and staff were friendly. We LOVED the queso and Johnny Cakes for appetizers. Everyone's meal was delicious and well portioned. The ingredients feel fresh and intentional with every dish. Overall, I wouldn't consider this restaurant a "must try" but a very solid option! If you're in town and looking for a more upscale experience with a Caribbean/Spanish cuisine then I would recommend this spot.

3 stars I tried…read moreAgave & Rye today for the first time, and I was honestly underwhelmed. First, I want to say that the overall atmosphere was pretty nice. It was a cool-looking restaurant and felt like a cozy spot. My food came out looking amazing, and it tasted great. I got the Mac n Cheese Donuts and the Grilled Crispy Chicken Burrito. My issue was mainly with the service. From the time my friend and I were seated, it took 15 minutes for us to be greeted, and we had been sitting there for more than 20 minutes before we received our drinks and had a chance to order our food. This was during the early afternoon with very little foot traffic, so I personally don't see why there was such a delay in what could've been a smooth experience. I also asked for a to-go box but was never brought one, so I had to leave my leftovers behind in order to walk to work and make it there on time. I would try this place again, but maybe next time I would sit at the bar to make the interaction quicker and easier.

WOW! This is my new favorite restaurant!…read more I grew up in Southern California; Mexican food is comfort food. As a new(ish) vegan, I was resigned to cooking my own, whenever I craved Mexican food... but at Tlaolli, I was spoiled for choice! I ended up trying the hibiscus taco (clever, creative, with a wonderful melding of spices and a punch of bright acidity), the tofu mole taco (smoky and creamy, with well-balanced spices), and the Nonono tamale (no meat, no dairy, no gluten), which was roasted poblano peppers and soy chorizo with black bean paste and corn masa (a bit dry, but super flavorful and great chew). And there was housemade tamarindo, which I have always loved, and it wasn't over-sweetened, which I loved even more. Tart and bright and refreshing! His Goatness the Hubbins got a mixed platter of vegan tacos (I was proud of him), and dad got meat items, which he enjoyed (the owner let us know all meats are all natural, with no hormones). And we all shared salsa and chips, which was smooth and well-flavored, with lots of spices but only mild heat. (I could have drunk the stuff.) Atmosphere is intimate and cozy, with a few tables inside the colorful cafe and a few painted picnic tables outside. Everything is clean and tidy, including the restroom. Service was friendly, sociable, and passionate about the food they're creating. Seriously, I love this place. Can't wait to try more of the vegan menu options! (I fell on my food so fast I totally failed to get pictures... but the pics at https://www.tlaolli.org are accurate!)

I love how many options there are for vegetarians and vegans. I ordered the Torta, street corn…read more(special for the day), and a juice. The staff is friendly. Bright interior and some tables outside. Sitting outside was nice and peaceful. All the flavors of the dishes were delicious. Will definitely return for another meal. FYI- you can park next door in the library parking lot.
