50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Indianapolis

“Great atmosphere. First timer: food was excellent. Server was fun and knowledgeable of the menu. Came for Dining Out For Life and will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“1st time trying Mota Tacos today! It was the best taco place I've been to so far locally. The quality and portions of the food and even the prices of the food was AMAZING. They offer so much on there menu, has great descriptions of the items they have! The customer service was awesome as well, they made sure everything looked and tasted great. The wait time for food was faster than a fast food restaurant as there was also other customers in there as well! If you love Mexican food, you will love this place! 😀“

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

“I love Nando’s! This is the place to go if you’re ever in the Broad Ripple area. They’ve created a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. When you’re looking for a solid investment with your time and dollar, Nando’s delivers. The food is exquisite, not only in taste but in presentation. When you walk in and feel like family, you can’t help but feel immersed in both the owners’ cultures. Indianapolis offers up some phenomenal gems, and Nando’s is definitely one of them.“

“First time here. I ordered 2 corn tamales and one green chicken and received 2 chicken instead. Pretty upset about that. Specially since the chicken had no sauce and the flavor just wasn’t there. But the corn was amazing, they don’t prepare tamales here with toppings but I went home and added sour cream and cheese on top, it was great! Overall I would only come back for the corn tamales.“

“We stopped by La Parada in Indianapolis for lunch, and from the outside, I'll admit it looked a little... let's say "quiet." There wasn't a soul in sight, and we were starting to wonder if we had made the right choice. But stepping inside, it felt like we were transported into a cozy, vibrant Mexican spot with the typical charm you'd expect.

On the server's recommendation, I ordered a Michelada. Let's just say, it was spicy and packed a punch ! For the main course, we got chicken fajitas and veggie fajitas. The sizzle alone made it worth it, and the flavors did not disappoint. And, of course, we couldn't resist ordering flan for dessert. Sweet, creamy, and the perfect way to finish off the meal. Service was also prompt and warm. All in all, despite the initial "is this place open?" vibe from the outside, it ended up being a delicious and memorable meal. Definitely a hidden gem if you're ever in Indy!“

“Always a nice dinner and great service!“

“Best vegan nachos I have had in Indy, absolutely fantastic. Good service at the bar from T. If you haven't had it I recommend a Bohemia beer. Wish I could rave about their house margarita, but it's just terrible. But not enough of an issue to ever keep me from coming back here again and again.“

“This is by far our favorite Mexican restaurants in Indy. We tried a bunch over the holiday season last year and Bugambilias is our number one go to even for picky eaters. Everyone is always super friendly here and the food is always hot, fresh, and tasty.“

“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.“

“Good food and friendly staff!“
