The food was Mediocre. & the service was even more distasteful. I don’t know if the two young ladies working were just having a bad day but they were rude from the time we ordered to us getting our food. My first friend who ordered asked if they had Carne asada to substitute for something and the girl rolled her eyes and said no what we have is only on the menu. Which is okay but the attitude wasn’t needed. Then when she payed the other lady said just for her to insert the card which she did and the girl snarkely said “ I told you only to press the green button don’t over complicate it” when she didn’t know what to do after Inserting bc she didn’t inform her what to do next. After we all ordered we were told to wait by the side for our name to get called. Which we waited right next to the counter waiting for our name and no one called it in the next 15 minutes. It is a Saturday night and they were a little busy so I may understand the wait but it went by a little longer and they could tell we were waiting and asked what we got & told her the chips and queso and coke & she asked for the name and we told her and she then said we called your name earlier and you weren’t here. My friend said I apologize we didn’t hear it but we were definitely close enough to hear themThey just didn’t Call it. My friend also said do you have one for my friend Brook and she said yeah we called hers earlier too, then processed to roll her eyes grab the bag of chips throw it on the counter then went to the back for 5 minutes to grab the queso and brought it back. As for someone who works in retail & food service , the manager needs to talk with them about compassion and patience. I’ve never myself experienced someone as condescending and rude as the two girls who were working today. I love trying new foods and supporting any business in Indy but this has made me think not to return back ever agian.

When the best part of the meal is the watermelon flavored drink beverage , that isn't great for the entree couldn't hold its own which was a braised shredded pork taco. There was a bit of chopped blended cilantro/parsley (who likes to eat parsley as might was well be chewing kale yuck) with a red sauce. It was probably the red sauce that made the tacos sprint not walk south, maybe if there os a next time get some other sauce like the korean bbq sauce. Almost rated 2 stars but the benefit of the doubt rounded up to 3 stars due to the flavored beverage. Meh.

The employees are very nice and friendly. Unfortunately the food was not that good. I bought my daughter a kids meal and the rice was so bad. It felt not fresh and undercooked. The quesadillas were okay.

This place was decent until last time I came and the cashier (blonde long hair) was blatantly mocking an older couple in front of us in line because they didn’t know what a churro was. He did this to their face, and then continued to talk about them to us. He then proceeded to make fun of them due to their race. Really disgusted by this behavior and treatment of the elderly.

Great place to eat! My son loved the quesadilla…. And I had the spicy soup and fish tacos! All very fresh and tasty and the staff were super friendly as well! ? We will definitely be back!!

We’ve been wanting to go here for a long time- since we found out it’s the same owner as our FAVORITE restaurant in Indy- Festiva! Just as Festiva, it did not disappoint! It was DELICIOUS! We experienced Mexican/Asian fusion in Arizona for the first time! We’re so excited that there’s a place here by home that does it too bc it’s amazing!! The Korean bbq steak taco & the queso were our favorites! I also loved the Thai boba tea! We’ll be back soon!!!

Just...no. Big fan of Carribean cuisine and the variations of flavors throughout the region. I make my own Mojo de Ajo and really appreciate the blends of styles/cultures/ingredients that resulted from an area w/ a problematic history of people having to "find a way" to make things work.This...was not it.We tried all of the vegetarian/pescatarian options per tacos (4 in all). All were "ok", but nothing remotely compelling. The flavors didn't strongly vary, it all just resulted in a bunch of limited flavors w/o even a good sauce to try and carry it through (although one was drowning in sauce to be nearly inedible - tofu perhaps). If I just shredded the various things in my vegetable crisper and threw them on a corn tortilla then I'd be fairly close per flavor.But the "street corn" was the worst. Canned corn w/ no roasting and drowned in a sauce (you honestly didn't just parch a bunch of corn at the start of the day in a skillet at least?). For anyone who has just stopped by an old woman w/ a small charcoal grill on the street in Mexico and decided to give luck a try, you'll want to throw this high-priced fakery right back at them.I've even had a street corn variation in Belize (at Elvi's Kitchen by the way) that includes a lobster/crab sauce. Try that and you will know what an incredible and over the top "street corn" experience can be.If you're in the Bottleworks and are tempted by flavors and foods in this genre, ignore the marketing and just turn around to head across the way to Azucar Morena. You're welcome.

Tacos with a twist, I love the fusion Korean-based taco alongside the traditional flavors. The corn side dish was also delicious.

Have loved this place since Broad Ripple. So happy they are back! I also like their full restaurant, Festiva, but La Chinita Poblana tacos may just be my favorite food bar none. Sooo good!

Amazing to go an hour after they opened--not crowded, pay for karaoke room and the free giant games were fun.
