Escape CardonaJanuary 15, 2017Very 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 TDecember 24, 2017The Guac and salsa are incredible, first off โ 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 RowleyJanuary 18, 2017The margaritas here are all the rave, they're specially mixed fresh each morning. One of the best social spots in the city.
Russell HirschornAugust 7, 2019Fresh 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.- Lears FoolDecember 9, 2016I thought I was in Brooklyn or SF, so tasty. Then I got the bill. Definitely in Indianapolis. Great tacos, great price.
Jamie EssenmacherApril 18, 2019The tacoโs 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.
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-HedeenAugust 3, 2013The 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 MollicaSeptember 4, 2015The 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 ๐
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 CosnerMarch 27, 2017Steak tacos are my fav. Must try the Guacamole and queso! Great tequila selection and always busy.
Friendly service. Try the guac. Strong margaritas and perfect tacos. A new favorite.
- 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.
Matthew SchumanSeptember 2, 2015PBR served in a boot, and the Tacos are great. Brought friends and the loved it. The Bistec taco is a personal favorite
Abby NoolJuly 11, 2014Great food selection. I don't normally like mole but it was really good. Can't wait to come back and have some margaritas.- Suzi EnschOctober 17, 2013The 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 SmithMay 12, 2013This 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!
Dalton SpearApril 3, 2015Great variety of tacos to choose from, California style tortillas, good margs
ZaraApril 16, 2019I 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.
The whiskey selection is stellar. If you don't know what to get, I recommend Blantons neat.
NancyApril 20, 2013First 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!
Alyssa BirdFebruary 24, 2015We had the guacamole and margaritas, both were delicious and I cant wait to come back to try more.
Matthew SadlerAugust 7, 2015You 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 FlanaganApril 29, 2016Order a few tacos, some chips and the house margarita and enjoy what Bakersfield does best.
SarahSeptember 23, 2014The queso is sooo good! I had a torta and loved it, as well. The tortas are huge!
Kathleen BrinegarApril 23, 2015Literally anything is good! Get the guacamole or queso to start and tacos and margaritas
Rachel BakerMarch 25, 2014Great flavors! Great food! If you have a big appetite you'll need to order several tacos.
ยกHoly Molรฉ! Go for the guacamole & then order a couple molรฉ tacos.
Mary Phillips CarlsonAugust 23, 2014I really liked the guacamole. Great atmosphere on their back patio area too!
Ask for Kristen! Guac = awesomesauce, habanero ghost salsa/taco isn't that spicy & fish tacos are best in town
Amazing house marg, short rib taco was delish and probability of running into Paden is high!
Lori TaylorMarch 12, 2013Mole tacos really yummy!!!! Also love the salsa roja... Authentic with smoked chiles!
Guacamole is unreal. Not gonna get a better deal on Mass Ave with a shot and a beer for $5. Enjoy.
Joshua MooreApril 1, 2013I 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.
Guacamole is fantastic. Can't go wrong with the house margaritas.
Joseph SlacianMay 26, 2013Food 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.
Best tacos in town. Short rib and fish are my favorites.
J CJuly 12, 2013Yo it's good but for $4 per 3 inch taco, I'd save my dough and just but margaritas here.
Sammi KokiDecember 18, 2016megan was the best waitress i've ever had!! ask for the woman w the kick ass haircut
Chris SchwierSeptember 17, 2016Chicken chorizo was fire. Grab a goose island and your good to go ๐๐ป- Mole tacos are the best. And the margaritas are delicious.
