Very chill spot.The tacos are slamming. The flavors will attack your tastebuds. The guac is also great. Need to find the one in PA for a second trip.

Cole T

The Guac and salsa are incredible, first off — the myriad of taco options also cannot be beat. The margaritas are also solid (get the Spicy Pineapple ). Honestly, one of the top Mexican meals in Indy.

Erik Rowley

The margaritas here are all the rave, they're specially mixed fresh each morning. One of the best social spots in the city .

Russell Hirschorn

Fresh tortillas ridic. Huitlacoche, Cochinita and Fish tacos amazing. Aguachile very spicy , weak on shrimp , skip it. Guac wasnt mashed well . Maestro Doble Diamante Extra Anejo. Killer tacos .

I thought I was in Brooklyn or SF, so tasty. Then I got the bill. Definitely in Indianapolis. Great tacos , great price.

Jamie Essenmacher

The taco’s were unique and delish. I had the sangria and it was mixed well . I would order 2-3 tacos . The corn side dish was well worth the money.

Juan Flores

The atmosphere is awesome. The homemade tortillas are an excellent addition to the tacos . You really can't go wrong on any of them. The queso con chorizo is amazing!

Theresa Aydara-Hedeen

The chips and queso (with black beans ) was the BEST I've ever had! The tacos were amazing! Total bill (incl tip) was $20! Will DEFINITELY be visiting again soon!

Mike Mollica

The short rib taco is delicious. I feel like there is mint either in the salsa verde or in something else though and I can't get the taste out of my mouth ????

Kayla Johnson

Great guacamole . Love the westerns playing on the TV and old school country on the stereo. Hate when it turns to rap music and becomes super douchey at night.

Jeremiah Cosner

Steak tacos are my fav. Must try the Guacamole and queso ! Great tequila selection and always busy.

Taylor S

Friendly service . Try the guac . Strong margaritas and perfect tacos . A new favorite.

Juan Flores

Usually a wait time, so grab a delicious drink or go walk around Mass Ave until your table is ready. Best advice, go 30 minutes earlier than expected.

Abby Nool

Great food selection. I don't normally like mole but it was really good. Can't wait to come back and have some margaritas .

Matthew Schuman

PBR served in a boot, and the Tacos are great. Brought friends and the loved it. The Bistec taco is a personal favorite

Suzi Ensch

The taco are awesome!!!! Defiantly try the fish taco !!!! So good!!! While your there get a pitcher of margaritas !!! Great place to hang with friends!!!

Brent Smith

This is hipster heaven, until they have to pay the bill and beat the streets to fountain square. Thank God you have to have money to eat and drink here, or they would stick around. USA!

Zara

I got takeout tostadas al pastor at 10:30pm on a Monday (not exactly peak hours), and they were DELICIOUS. I can't think of a single way they could've been better.

Dalton Spear

Great variety of tacos to choose from, California style tortillas , good margs

Nancy

First time we went it was EXCELLENT all around. I wish I could say the same about tonight....thank goodness for our company - they saved out night!

Lara Banker

The whiskey selection is stellar. If you don't know what to get, I recommend Blantons neat.

Alyssa Bird

We had the guacamole and margaritas , both were delicious and I cant wait to come back to try more.

Matthew Sadler

You can't miss with the mole tacos and short rib torta . The chicken chorizo tostada was not as impressive and the guacamole was bland. Overall it was a good meal, just stick with their popular items.

Patrick Flanagan

Order a few tacos , some chips and the house margarita and enjoy what Bakersfield does best.

Kathleen Brinegar

Literally anything is good! Get the guacamole or queso to start and tacos and margaritas

Andrew Furman

Amazing bistac, fish , and short rib tacos .

Sarah

The queso is sooo good! I had a torta and loved it, as well . The tortas are huge!

Rachel Baker

Great flavors! Great food! If you have a big appetite you'll need to order several tacos .

Andy @hust0058

¡Holy Molé ! Go for the guacamole & then order a couple molé tacos .

Mary Phillips Carlson

I really liked the guacamole . Great atmosphere on their back patio area too!

Ally Khajenouri

Ask for Kristen! Guac = awesomesauce, habanero ghost salsa/taco isn't that spicy & fish tacos are best in town

Jeff Oakes

Great original take on taco . We had a great lunch visit.

Dawn DeVirgilio

Amazing house marg , short rib taco was delish and probability of running into Paden is high!

Queso and guacamole are phenomenal. Tacos are also great.

I went here weekend night for the first time ever. The drinks were strong, the waitress 's were attentive however the wait was long to get a table.

Alex Rhea

Guacamole is fantastic. Can't go wrong with the house margaritas .

Cory Brown

The taco selection is decent and I was fond of the house made guacamole .

Maria Alviz

My personal favorite is the spicy margarita & their guacamole !

Joseph Slacian

Food is good and drinks are very good. Only trouble is some loud mouth skank with the most annoying voice at the next table who won't shut the hell up.

Laura Bickett

Short rib tacos are the best! The queso is also delicious!!

James Paden

Best tacos in town . Short rib and fish are my favorites.

Yo it's good but for $4 per 3 inch taco , I'd save my dough and just but margaritas here.
