50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Indianapolis

“I would rate Bugambilias at 4.5 stars. The restaurant was small, neat, and clean. The service was efficient and friendly. The food was was not salty or greasy and had excellent flavor, which reminded me of good Mexican restaurants in southern California. The salsa was mild but flavorful and not salty. I didn't ask about medium or hot salsa because mild was good for us. My Shrimp Fajita was the best I've had with perfectly seared shrimp and tender but not overcooked or burned vegetables. My companions also loved their Mole Poblano and Beef Mexiote. The fried ice cream and churros were very good for dessert. I recommend it, and we will definitely be back soon.“

“My first time trying torta Cubana and esquite. It’s actually delicious and not expensive. Though I did leave it out for a bit so it may look soggy in the picture. I only put 4 stars for atmosphere due to the fire alarms going off, everything else was great“

“good food and drinks.great service, friendly staff“

“Great food, fresh and delicious. Nice cozy vibe! Very attentive service. Good cocktail. A gem!“

“Very nice place.. good food. The personal so gently . service professional..and Sea food . ?..and taco's.l won't telling..so asowe..“

“The food is fabulous, and the flavors are on point! The salmon was Incredible, and so was the short rib. Trace dessert was OKWe came on a Saturday night, and it was packed. Unfortunately, the place is deafening when it’s busy. We will definitely come back again for the food, but I am planning on bringing our Apple AirPods for the noise canceling or just calling each other and talking on them, lol ?Also,the parking lot is relatively small for how busy they get, and we had difficulty finding places to park on the street.“

“Food is excellent, real Mexican flavor, portions are big so is right for anybody, price is very good, service is fast, the only issue is to find a table because a lot of people loves this place, ambiance is also very good, the owners are always watching everything, highly recommended“

“I love I love I love! This is that classic Mexican food I grew up on. Every time I eat there it makes my heart and my belly happy. Their beans and rice is the absolute best. And Margarita is always such a warm, welcoming server. I only wish it were closer!“

“I love that there are so many vegetarian options and they are so delicious. The service is really quick and I really liked the restaurant.My only thing is that the tofu mole has too much liquid and makes the tortillas soggy, even though each taco comes with 2 tortillas. If it is a bit more drier and the mole/sauces a bit more thick, they would be perfect.Would definitely be back many times.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options“

“Had a tamale, a papusa, and an empanada. All next level. And the people are really cool to boot. This is an Indy hidden gem you must try. Trust me.“

“My wife and I saw Guy Fieri review this "Tamale Place" location on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and knew we had to try them out!! The first time was my wife's birthday, and I asked her to get in the car, we're going to lunch for your birthday!! We live in the Chicago area, so it was a 280 mile round trip, to Indianapolis, but it was definitely worth the drive!!! We've been back a few times since then!!! The food is excellent. It's the best tamales that we've ever had!!!“

“This place was nice.The server was very helpful with assisting in making selections. The food was very good. We ate so fast we had to take the rest home. The chorizo queso was a good appetizer to start with. The margaritas were excellent as well. I will revisit this place.Parking: There is a free parking lot.“

“This is THE BEST tacos, elotes, steak fries, burritos, tamales, well just everything you get here is delicious!!!!!! Great customer service, polite, professional, friendly, caring!!! Can never go wrong with tamales etc!!!!!! 100/10 easy!!!!“

“They don’t speak much English at all, and it’s not much customer service BUT the food is GREAT!! Steak, chipotle chicken, Lomo, and el pastor tacos are so good! Limited parking but if you can eat inside so you eat it at its freshest do it!!Parking: Only 4 parking spots in the front.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheel chair ramp.“

“todo a tiempo buena atencion“

“The best taco's I've ever had!!!! and there street corn is incredible!!!!“

“Loved it! Went in for lunch on Saturday at 3pm. Their salsa is great, and has a little kick to it. I had the jalapeño margarita on the rocks and it was such a great experience. Again, had a kick to it. It was a good combination of sweet, sour and spicy. We had chorizo tacos, which were also delicious and came with heaping portion of meat garnished with red onions and cilantro.Clean place, friendly staff.Can't say there was anything I was unsatisfied with.“

“Good breakfast and Peruvian food. Can’t wait to try the Mexican dishes - yum!“

“Stopped in for some Queso and ended up trying several things. This place was great. And the staff was good. I highly recommend the restaurant. Yum!“

“Super clean, and great food“

“Tried for the first time tonight and I will definitely be returning!! Everything we tried was fabulous, from the queso to the sopes! They were so so Good!! Very friendly staff (attentive) we had three different people check on us! I would give them 10/10! Must try!!“

“I can eat there every day if is possible. All the food and drinks super delicious !“

“I’ve been here a few times and the food doesn’t disappoint. I did have a disappointing experience today with our bill however. There was an extra meal charged on our bill which I brought to our servers attention. When she returned, I found that instead of voiding and printing a corrected bill, she ran a credit charge for the overage. This meant I had to pay the higher incorrect charge and wait (from what I understand) a couple 3-4 days for the credit to return to my card. I don’t feel it appropriate that the customer pay for the billing error then have to wait for a refund. I did let them know I wasn’t happy about it. I will be watching that I do receive this credit. It also put a bad taste in my mouth about returning anytime soon.“

“Amazing food, drinks, and most importantly service. If I lived closer, I would dine their daily. Come & Enjoy!!!“

“It’s hard to go wrong with the hefty helpings of Mexican food that La Margarita offers! It’s a little pricey for standard Mexican cuisine, but it’s about on par for dining in downtown Indianapolis. Solid choice for a lunch or dinner excursion.“

“Had the beef chimichanga..was delish..This place is 3 blocks away from us and this is the first time we have tried it...definitely will be going back.“

“I dont crave Mexican food-this place however is incredible. Tacos & margs are the best & the now long gone pork belly taco is the best taco I have ever had. On top of it, Zach is the coolest server!!!“

“The muffins are good and the tacos.“

“we LOVED everything we had tonight. We will definitely be back when we come to Indy. Food was delicious in every way. Service was great as well!“

“Amazing food and nice people! First time ordering from a Mexican/Chinese restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. The Aqua Fresca's are a must try with fresh fruit and rotating flavors. Best crab Rangoon around. Will definitely be back!“

“The new server is very polite and patient and presented herself with etiquette. She smiled alot and was very attentive! The food was on point (I'm a certified chicken and steak tacologist). Everything was well seasoned! The chips and salsa aren't the typical chips and salsa style, but better! The restaurant was very clean and the music complimented my margarita ?... it was like an extra shot of tequila in my cup. I didn't expect so much swag and atmosphere before I walked in. I am definitely glad I did, and I appreciate having places like La Iguana I can go to when I need great food!“

“We are new to the area and decided to try it last night. The food, drinks and staff where amazing. We will def become regulars.“

“We serve good tasty foods everyday come by and have a taste or try of our foods“

“Excellent food and service! Very friendly atmosphere. Will be going back again!“

“Was walking by and decided to stop in. Was about 7ish on a Saturday evening. We got seated right away.Ordered the strawberry basil smash cocktail which was delicious, I had two. Also got the chips and queso and the quesabirria tacos. The tacos came with the consume too. The birria had decent flavor.We did sit next to the bar so my photos look green because of the giant green sign that said “social”.“

“food and service is always great!“

“The best taco birria and birris ramen. It is so good.“

“Todo deliciosos �� buen lugar para desayunar“

“Chava’s Mexican Grill was quick, delicious, and friendly. The food is prepared infront of you and you get to pick your toppings. Their rice and refried beans are some of the tastiest I have had in the area. The salsas are great and they have plenty to choose from. The dishes pictured are a chimichanga and a torta al pastor.“

“True authentic Mexican cuisine. The true flavors of Mexico. Excellent tamales and beans & rice. I will be back. Great service and prices too.“
