The aromatic authentic flavor and smell from this merchant will keep you mouth watery. Nice out door seating spaces, keen streets view. Charming interior artistic design. Friendly staff and great service.
It is also called El Toro. Good food served here. Both Mexicans and American favorites Breakfast.

Ok, so this place has changed. But, different doesn't mean bad...or at least it shouldn't. I stopped in here for lunch not knowing the place had changed hands. I liked it! Its not AJ's and we can't expect it to be, but I felt everyone from the host to the busser was really trying to make this a great lunch experience. The food was delicious, the service was great, the price was right and the new look inside is fun! Give El Toro a try if you're downtown Indy and looking for a quick, enjoyable mex-american meal.

Coming from Texas and some of the best “Tex-Mex” Mexican Food, this was a little different. They say you can tell his good the meal is going to be by testing the salsa. The salsa was good, different from what i’m used to, more garlic and tomato and less cilantro and heat. The meat in the dish had more of a chili powder taste than southern dishes. Unusual to have to choose between rice or beans and not have both. Overall a good place to try out.

Good service and good food. Decent location. They have this amazing salsa on the table in a small dispenser that is REALLY GOOD. Not sure what they call it specifically. The only negative is that the restaurant needs renovations and updating. I don't know if the Historical Society is hindering those efforts or not.

I have been going to this place since I was a little kid. It's just awesome! To be honest I have really only had their biscuits and gravy and their chips and hot sauce. But that's all you ever need! They stop serving breakfast at eleven, so make sure to get in before then! There is usually only one or two servers at that time so service is a little slow if business is up, but it's absolutely worth the wait! Once you fall in love with their hot sauce, don't forget you can buy it to take home! They throw in a bag of chips to go with it but once those run out, any of your favorite tortilla chips go perfectly with it as well! Good prices with great food and decent atmosphere. Be sure to read the table settings and get a feel for the background of the restaurant and the founder, Joe.

If you haven't been for many years it's changed for the better. I'm guessing the place has had multiple owners over the years but the latest owners seem to have it back on track. No real complaints except there was so much cheese on my tacos I had to remove 50% of it. For many I'm sure that would be a plus. They have a hot salsa and it's really good but you have to ask for it. I didn't see it as a menu option plus who has time anyway. It's 50 cents!

This was a place I would meet my Dad for lunch. Went back recently and had an early dinner there. The Salsa had changed and wasn’t as good as I remembered. The restaurant inside is the same as 15 years ago, but the food wasn’t as good as remembered.......

The Sauce in the squirt bottle is the best. I'm positive I could live off of it and do sometimes. It cures what ails you. The other food is great as well. Tuesday is $2 tacos hard or soft. The trick is 1 soft taco is the size of about 2 hard tacos and the same price. You're welcome for that one. Go there. Just leave room for me.

I love this place. It's not the most swanky, super authentic Mexican joint around but you get family style dining, the tiniest bar ever, a large city patio and with live music in the warmer months. Ambiance!
For a metropolitan Mexican "hole-in-the_wall" steeped in tradition, the food is a decent quality and value, the margaritas exceptional and the staff are pretty genuine and appear hardworking. Sam is the best waitress on the planet. This girl works hard and always has a smile.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I love taco Tuesday, it's a great value and quick lunch. The fresh salsa is perfect on many of the dishes. They have made so many improvements since the new owner took over. You should stop in and give them a try.
