best taco bar by far. places like this are becoming more and more popular in bigger cities, and i am happy that indy finally got one. a specialty bar that sticks to its specialties. they don't try to half ass other dishes to beef up their menu, they simply go with what they know. when we first walked in, we could barely fit in the door as the place is not very big and was very crowded. the bar was crowded with individuals sipping cocktails and margaritas out of mason jars and the dimly, yet still sufficiently, lit dining areas were full of people enjoying the same drinks and food. the receptionist wasted no time in getting my name and phone number so that she could text me when my table was ready. she told me 45 minutes to an hour, however, within about 35 minutes we were seated. "do you mind if we set another party with you at a large table?" of course we didn't. some may not like this, but it promotes fellowship and gives you a drinking partner, so i was all for it. immediately after being seated, i was given two menus: one was for food and the other was an extensive list of whiskey and tequilas (their specialties as indicated on the sign outside). after about five minutes our waitress came back and took our orders. the items are all a la cart. i started with a cocktail (the drifter, a very refreshing tequila and orange mixture), an order of guac, and three tacos (the fish, the mole chicken, and the pastor). we began socializing with the others that were sat our table and realized that we even had a few of the same friends. this made it great to pass the time between the small waits for our dishes. the drink came right out, even though the two bartenders looked heavily occupied, and the guac came soon after. i read another review on here about the guac being too chunky. there is a simple remedy for this: mash it up with the spoon they give you and quit crying. the guac was absolutely delicious. i would have liked some jalapenos added, however, i am sure that they can do that and it was on me for not doing so. the waitress waited until our guac was gone to bring us our tacos. my friend, however, ordered the salad which he claimed was amazing. the tacos are all on the smaller tortillas. i like flower tortillas better, however, the corn ones that are served have a perfect balance between the softness of a flour tortilla and the roughness of a corn tortilla. the tacos were absolutely delicious. i savored every bite of every one. i was a little put off by the pineapple on the pastor (a shredded pork taco) but it accented it perfectly. we continued to eat and make new friends for the next hour and i cannot wait to go back.

nice, nice, very nice. nice place. i like the comfortable dfeel of old cowboy movies and a nice mix of music on the speakers. started with chips and salsa. chips were fresh and crispy and the tomatillo salsa was good. 2 salsa bottles on the table: one red and one green, both tomatillo based, but the red was smoky from the fruit being roasted and the green had a little avocado. all very good, but nothing really spicy hot. the tacos are great, each a little piece of edible art. nice presentation by a kitchen staff who obviously cares and has been trained well. don't change! i had the huitlacoche, pollo verde and pastor. the side of house picked jalapenos helped add some heat. all were really good..
