50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Zionsville

“This is such a treasure in Zionsville! Not only is the food delicious and affordable but the staff is incredible!! They know our orders, serve with smiles and go above and beyond. We eat here at least twice a week because it’s that good. You can’t go wrong with El Meson at Boone Village!“

“Like many locals, we were curious (and honestly a little skeptical) when El Torro in Zionsville became Z Torro under new ownership. After hearing about a refreshed menu and a focus on fresher ingredients, we decided to give it a try — and we’re glad we did.

The first thing we noticed was the packed parking lot, which felt like a good sign. The new owner was previously part of the original El Torro organization, but this feels different in the best way possible. Instead of being one restaurant in a larger group, Z Torro now feels like a restaurant owned by someone who truly knows Zionsville, understands the community, and cares about what locals actually want from their neighborhood Mexican restaurant.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and noticeably elevated from what we remembered before. Service was warm, the atmosphere felt energized, and overall the experience exceeded our expectations.

It’s always nice to see a local restaurant reinvent itself successfully, and based on our visit, Z Torro is off to a very strong start. We were very pleased with our meal and look forward to going back.“

“Our waitress was Beckie, she was very efficient and quick. Weather was great but when started to feel a little chilly they offered us some blankets, that was amazing, very cozy feeling. The food was delicious, I had the quesadilla, my friends had the nachos, and burritos. I also had the taco soup and it was incredible, very tasty and delicious.“

“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.“

Please add more places to sit somehow.“

“The best food and service in Indianapolis“

“We're traveling & couldn't deal with leftovers so we ordered the seafood nachos to split between the two of us. DELISH! The grilled shrimp were amazing, the tilapia so delicate, the crab perfection. The queso had a heat that snuck up on you. 5 star dinner! Had the Pink Cadillac & Blue Hawaiian margaritas; both tasty.

Kids meals come with a sundae - our son kiddo was more feeling the chips & queso so we got to enjoy it for dessert.

Great service. Nice atmosphere - music the right volume, a mix of sports on screens. Patio seating available. (We are inside; temp not too cold for kiddo, but pleasantly cool.)“

“Los mejores tacos de India“

“Indy Tacos is a great hidden treasure in the city. This is near my place in broad ripple and the first time i stopped in here was while i was working and needed a quick meal that wasn’t fast food.
Since then i come regularly when im working in the area.
This is what I would call street food. If you eat in the seat you, take your order and serve it at the table. The owners / operators are great and friendly and you can tell they enjoy what they are doing.
Generally there is a special or 2 daily. My go to is usually the chicken tamales or Piccadillo tacos (ground beef). Sometimes I come in with my workers and they go for the tortas and loved them.

The atmosphere here is essentially a Mexican diner. Nothing fancy but what you’d expect and it’s always clean and friendly. Your can be out for under $15 any day with a $6 special or 2 (I always have water so it cuts the cost down).
The food quality is good for the price point and if you’re looking for a quick decent meal this is your place.

Local places get a google bump to help w traffic on their ratings.
Real rating for me here is a 4.2. You can’t go wrong stopping in“

“Great food and large portions. If you leave hungry, it’s your fault. 😀“

“incredibly delicious food! Perhaps the best shredded chicken and ground beef filling I've ever eaten! great guacamole! delicious chile verde sauce!“

“Great food and large portions. If you leave hungry, it’s your fault. 😀“

“Buena comida buen servicio“

“El Pollo Tapatio is a decent spot for grilled chicken, but it didn’t quite wow me. The pollo asado was okay—it had a nice smoky flavor and was reasonably tender, but it lacked the bold seasoning or juiciness that would make it stand out. It’s a solid option if you’re craving grilled chicken, but it doesn’t feel particularly memorable.

The sides were fine—standard rice, beans, and tortillas that did the job but didn’t elevate the meal. The salsas added some much-needed flavor, but overall, the experience felt a bit average.

The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual, which made for a comfortable dining experience. However, if you’re looking for exceptional grilled chicken, this might not be the place. It’s okay for a quick meal, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.“

“The tamales had really great flavor. I tried both the pollo and frijoles. They were stuffed full of ingredients. I also tried a chicken and chorizo taco. Both were delicious. The staff were friendly. My items were cooked to order.“

“My first time here and service was amazing, such friendly staff and the food was delicous! Their Salsa is my absolute favorite now! Would recommend to anyone hands down!“
