I don't know what everyone raves about. This place is dirtly, the service is horrible and the food, well I don't even consider it Mexican food. I definitely won't be recommending this place to anyone.

This was, by far, the very worst "mexican" restaurant I've ever been to. The "three nacho" meal consists of literally three small nachos, with a spoonfull of meat and cheese on each. It averages to $2 a nacho....

Stale chips and sqeezable salsa that tastes like ketchup with a little heat. Only 5 or 6 items on the lunch menu. El Rodeo or Cancun is much better for half the price. Service is fair at best.

The margaritas were very good but I would suggest not looking around too much and just concentrate on the food and drinks. Certainley a laid back atmosphere but a good cleaning and a paint job would help.

I eat at Acapulco Joe's every chance I get. This is authentic as it gets for Indianapolis. Try the Mi Tres Amigos. Service is speedy but avoid the peak hours because the line is usually out of the door.
