Celebrated my birthday at Delicia and honestly it was kind of last minute on my part. The staff at Delicia handled our large party like it was no trouble at all, which is very nice during this stressful holiday season! All of the staff were friendly and helpful both to us and obviously each other. The food is definitely on another level of amazing. The menu is unique, intriguing and also inviting. That is super accommodating when dealing with a families different unique palates. The queso fundido is so amazing we ended up ordering two after eating the first so quickly! (Not saying the portion size is small, definitely an app for 4-6 light app eaters). My scallops on my entree were bursting with flavor and the chef surprised us with a candle in our churros for my birthday! Thanks for making this birthday celebration one of my best yet! We will all be back, and recommending!

The waitress was very helpful in answering questions about vegan modifications. There aren’t a lot of options, but it is a limited menu anyway, so that’s to be expected. I had the vegan-modified barbacoa tamal and it was delicious and a huge portion of flavorful veggies. We also had guacamole(hold the cheese) and plaintains, also both excellent.

Food and service are fantastic. Lovely interior. However, there are no soft surfaces which makes it loud. Hard too hold a conversation between two people.

We had a great dinner at Delicia. Cocktails were respectable, all the food was good, and service was great. We enjoyed the Peruvian ahi tuna poke appetizer, and for entrees the elote scallops were fantastic. The birria short rib was also enjoyable. We did not have room for dessert but will try it next time.

I was visiting from Michigan and really enjoyed Delicia. It has a great ambiance and the food and drinks were delicious.
Service was great, but the restaurant was extremely crowded and noisy, making it hard to hear others at my table. However, the food was very tasty. We ordered ceviche, tuna, and salad—all were delicious.

I wouldn't necessarily call this a hidden gem because I think the word is out, but for someone coming from Zionsville, this is Definitely something we needed to search to find. We were planning our anniversary dinner and we're mainly looking through places downtown. We scoured through photos and got recommendations from friends, but just couldn't decide. We were eventually in between bocca and Delicia. After reading the menu though, it was an easy choice. We were looking for something we couldn't just make ourselves and something that would be unique. Delicia fit our criteria perfectly and we're so glad we went! You can tell they were on it right from the start because we waited (only) 5 minutes for anyone to check in on our table and they ended up apologizing, taking our drink orders and even surprising us at the end with a free churro dessert. We've been places that will make you wait ten minutes or more and then never even mention it. Already I felt pretty good. We ended up getting 3 entres and 4 of their cocktails. Everything was amazing. We did the empanadas as an appetizer and they were perfect to share between two people and just so amazing fluffy and flavorful. The beef inside them was ridiculous! 10/10. Then for our entres I got the mar y Tierra which has flank steak and shrimp. My only negative on this dish was that the steak was a little chewy for my liking, but it was cooked perfectly medium rare, just needed to cut smaller pieces. 8/10. My wife ordered the birria and hers was a 10/10, extremely well thought out with the flavors and the rice and everything together was so delicious.
We ordered four cocktails:
EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE 10/10 PANCHO VILLA: 10/10 SMOKE AND STONE: 8/10 AMERICAN MATADOR 9/10
Being a whiskey drinker the emperor's new groove was an amazing cocktail, I will be going to buy the abasolo whiskey they used to make this because I already have the nixta corn liquor. Such an amazing drink. My wife's favorite was the PANCHO VILLA, really amazing too.
Robin, our server was incredible at making recommendations and explaining the differences between the menu items. She made it so easy for us to make a decision by asking us our preferences.
Oh, and those churros we had complementary at the end were just ridiculously delicious. So warm and doughy on the inside and perfectly sugared and crispy on the outside, and it also came with a chocolate dipping sauce.
The whole ride home and even later that night we were reminiscing on the meal we had at Delicia!
This is one of those places that we will be taking friends and family when they come from out of town.
Highly, highly, highly recommend!

From the minute you walk in you are struck by the warmth and beauty of this restaurant. That good vibe continued with the creative menu, craft cocktails amazing entrees and even dessert. Especially amazing was our incredibly gifted server Stacey, who was working the bar area, and was spot on with menu guidance and timing of table visits. She was a real sweetheart!! 5 star visit.. can't wait to return.

I love food. I don't like what people call fusion cuisine. The food was terrible, overly salted, and the rice woefully undercooked. And what's with the mayonnaise or whatever sauce was on the undercooked rice. I could only stomach 1/2 of my 30 dollar entree and took the rest home just to throw it away. The sangria was excellent though.
