I almost never write reviews but this experience was fantastic! Everything from the food to service and conversations with the owners were truly valued. This is without a doubt the best mexican or peruvian food you will get in Indianapolis and their ingredients and dedication back that claim up. Finding a place that has good ají de amarillo is hard anywhere not in NYC/LA and for it to be so prominent on the menu combined with their homemade bread is fantastic!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Took food writer for Indianapolis Monthly’s Terry Kirts’ advice today and had an incredible lunch here today. I may never want to eat guacamole with chips again after eating it with the homemade focaccia and sourdough that this place serves up. FYI- it is the best focaccia I’ve had in Indy. Yes, I said it. And let’s talk about that delicious guacamole … it has so much cilantro in it -stems and leaves and that makes a huge difference in the taste. I had the mole chicken enchiladas. Too often, I find mole sauce is too sweet. This mole is delicious particularly with all of the sesame seeds on top. And the pickled vegetables that they serve with their meals are so good that I could eat those on top of everything!!! I did not taste my husband’s because I was too busy eating my own so I’m not gonna speak to that, but he said it was incredible. He had the traditional sandwich. We did not have room for dessert which I now regret but we’re gonna go back. And I walked out with a loaf of their sourdough and a 1/4 piece (still HUGE) piece of focaccia. I love this place!! GO!

The food was amazing and the customer service was top notch! You can tell the owner takes great pride in producing authentic, flavorful dishes. The atmosphere is bright and beautiful and welcoming. We had the fruit with chamoy for an appetizer...so fresh and flavorful...highly recommend. For our meals we had the tamales, tacos and torta. And the sangria was fresh and delicious! Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience!
