El Ranchito
This quaint little taco spot in the west side of Downtown Indy will tantalize your sense with sizzling meat, colorful ingredients (that are always fresh), and of course, the rich aroma of authentic Mexican cuisine.
Their tacos are among the very best in the city and don’t be worried if you see a lineup of people waiting to sample them, their service is fast. Our favorite tacos? The chicharrones, hands down. It’s tender stewed pork topped with green chili sauce.
Samano’s
Samano’s is a Mexican eatery somewhat hidden beside a gas station. But although it’s easy to miss, loyal fans know exactly where to find it, and do so every day for their incredible pastor tacos. These delicacies consist of crispy and flavorful spit-roasted pork, topped with fresh pineapple, other veggies, and served on soft corn tortillas.
Luciana’s Mexican Restaurant
This restaurant was named after the daughter of a Mexican-American couple whose hopes and dreams were to one day open an authentic Mexican eatery. It wasn’t long before their dreams became a reality, and now it’s one of the most popular places to grab some delicious “comida” in all of Indy.
The cheesy arroz con pollo and fajitas are fan favorites. They also make a spot-on margarita, just remember not to drink and drive.
Nada
We believe this restaurant was named Nada (“nothing” in Spanish) because there is nada on the menu you won’t love. Nada specializes in seafood tacos and has created some mind-blowing dishes over the past few years.
The fried oyster tacos topped with kimchi are world-class. The shrimp verde tacos are also a must-try and are topped with arugula, avocado, cheese, and a homemade dressing.
Bugambilias Mexican Cuisine
The friendly atmosphere and excellent service at this sit-down restaurant the perfect place to enjoy an authentic Mexican dinner with families and friends. Ingredients are brought in fresh daily, and the family recipes are made with passion and love.
They run a lunch and dinner service, and also have a popular happy hour that’s ideal for enjoying some great drinks and Mexican finger foods. Please remember not to drink and drive if you attend the happy hour.
Paco’s Tacos
This taqueria’s menu features several types of tacos that are guaranteed to please. We recommend the stewed suadero tacos for any beef fans out there. The tender juicy meat and soft corn tortilla deliver an intense flavor.
If you’re in the mood for something different, try the tripa tacos. They feature slices of battered beef or pork intestines that are deep-fried and topped with your choice of veggies.
We have the perfect selection of vehicles to choose from to visit all of these incredible Mexican restaurants. Stop by Tom O’Brien CJDR – Indianapolis today and find the one that’s perfect for you!
