Best of Metromix Indianapolis 2010Mexican restaurant
Now here's a food genre Indianapolis has no trouble filling. There's a Mexican restaurant on every corner in this city. Some are chains, some are owned by madre y padre, and some are giant locally owned forces in this city. But which one is the best?
And the winner is…
La Piedad Mexican Restaurant
6524 Cornell Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46220Neighborhood: Broad Ripple
Clean, friendly, laid back and inexpensive, this is the real deal when it comes to Mexican joints. The deck at La Piedad seats as many, if not more, than the enclosed dining area does, and the top-notch Mexican cuisine plated there means that, during warm months, both stay packed.
Nominees
El Sol De Tala Mexican Restaurante Y Cantina
2444 E. Washington St.
Indianapolis, IN 46201Neighborhood: East Indy
Get transported back to
Old Mexico at El Sol de Tala, which aesthetically translates to "the cutting sun." This spacious, open-and-airy establishment is entering its third decade of serving inventive dishes like wild mushroom quesadillas and Lomo Con Nopales (boneless pork loin with cactus and spices).
El Meson
8810 S. Emerson Ave.
Indianapolis, IN Nothing here but simple, delicious food. It's a bit cheaper than some of the bigger, more well-known places in town, but that doesn't take away from the fare. Enjoy the brightly colored tables, chairs and, well, walls as you dine here.
La Escollera
5834 E. Washington St
Indianapolis, IN 46219Neighborhood: East Indy
Eastside Mexican diner is standard in its food, but this cheap restaurant will allow you to eat there over -- and over -- without damaging your already-hurt wallet during this recession.
Adobo Grill
110 E. Washington St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204Neighborhood: Downtown
This upscale Mexican restaurant has wrap-around, two-story seating, including a towering two-story bar that offers over 90 tequilas. With pumpkin-colored walls and a festive staff, this place turns any dinner into a fiesta, complete with Saturday night salsa dancing deep into Sunday morning - and, wait for it...fresh guacamole made tableside!
