best garnachas & pupusas!! so flavorful and have been multiple times in the past few weeks. try this place out if you're on the southeast side
Pupusas we're really on point. They got all the classics, Chicharron, Revueltas, Loroco, Chicken con Jalapeño. Crispy and cooked really well. These were some of the best Pupusas I have had. Curtido flavor was great. Salsa good too. Will be back forsure!
Authentic Central American food. I enjoyed the pupusas and empanadas which were made fresh to order. Great service. Nice attached market with fresh produce, meat, cheese, bread, and pastries.
Great place that is convenient near everything on the East side. Great selection of staples in the supermarket at reasonable prices - check out all of the Latin hot sauces you normally have to go to Saraga or elsewhere in town to find. I had the standard charrasco plate. It was well seasoned, came with enough tortillas and a homemade sauce on the side. The horchata is made in-house like grandma used to make.
For starters, I have to admit that the ordering process over the phone was quite chaotic for this business. Somehow it seemed as if three different people were on the line from their end, and it was really hard to get the order across. They estimated about 25 minutes for the food and ended up being more like 50 minutes. I share this just to give you fair warning when you go to place your own order. The great news is, the food was super delicious and everything was in the bags. We ordered a variety of dishes, including fried tacos, Horchata, beans, and rice, plantains, with Crema, tamales, guacamole torta, and Pupusas. All were packed with flavor and delicious. I especially enjoyed their beans and plantain dishes. The restaurant and store were all bustling with customers grabbing groceries or having dinner in. The vibe is what you would find in many other Mexican, grocery stores around Indianapolis that have a restaurant tucked in the back corner. Definitely felt like a spot for regulars, and next time I would probably opt to eat in the restaurant versus carry out.
