Chile Verde

The staff was super nice and responsive but the food was literally the worst Mexican I’ve had. It was difficult to choke down and I’m a lover of all Mexican food. I tried the new burrito adovado and was incredibly disappointed with the way the meat was cooked– it was fatty and it tasted so strongly of pork that I thought I was on the farm. The sauce on top tasted like marinara to me but it would probably be more tasty on other things but NOT WITH PORK. The rice and beans had no flavor and i was extremely disappointed with this experience overall. Best Mexican in the city is a big claim and they have a lot of work before they meet that expectation.

I would give this place one star, except I feel like the only acceptable time to do that is if you get food
poisoning. Everything was bland. There wasn’t even flavor in the salsa, just spice. I ordered carne asada tacos. They came with the most lifeless rice and beans (which included shriveled up peices of green beans in them???). The sign out front claims to have the best mexican in the city; but to be honest, I think they just beat out Indy Tacos for the worst on my list. I would have enjoyed my meal more if I had gone to taco bell. The service was wonderful. The atmosphere was wonderful. But thw food, dear god, it was hard to choke down. I am fairly certain that this was the first time in my life that I didn’t finish my plate of food at a mexican restaurant.

Food was very bland. I ordered a combination and one was a chalupa the other tostado.. They gave me two tostado. The waitress said yes that is the chalupa today. I am little posse by now plus the meat was bland. one customer lost…

Eating Mexican is like one of my favorite things in the world. Chips and salsa, a Coke, and chicken quesadilla and rice! It’s like heaven to my tummy. So once you find a good Mexican restaurant it’s really really hard to try a new one. Well tonight the wife and I stopped at a new one for us and it was ok. Not over the top good but not cockroach crawling across the floor bad either. One of my biggest pet peeves in the whole wide world is when Mexican restaurants don’t have MILD salsa. Why do they just expect that everyone likes or can tolerate hot stuff? It breaks my heart. My stomach doesn’t like hot stuff, well neither does my mouth, but that’s besides the point lol. Mild salsa people mild salsa is it to much to ask for??? Lol. Oh well the point of this review is… That the food was good and I didn’t die! Enjoy

Definitely only going to go for the lunch buffet from here on out. I’ve been to dinner twice now and very disappointed both times. Each time I went and had the same problem, cold food. The outside was hot, but the inside of my enchilada and chile relleno was cold. Also, the queso dip was so cold it was practically solid. The manager did apologize and remove it from my bill, but it seems like a consistent thing for cold food. The lunch buffet is good though. I won’t be back for dinner.

I’ve eaten here 3x’s. The 1^st I had a coupon, bogo entrée’s. The 2^nd I had a coupon and was able to feed 3 for under $ 10 with the bogo entrée combo selection and we all got 2 items a piece. The 3^rd and final was because I was soo hungry that day riding past and there was a buffet sign out front so I decided to try one more time because maybe I just ordered the wrong things on previous visits. Nope, it’s not me it’s them. Their food is the typical mexican dishes you get around indy with the bland rice & refried beans as sides. Their food is way too salty for me and just blah. There wasn’t much of a selection for me (not really their fault) ’cause I don’t eat chicken nor pork. I would be mad if I ever had to pay full price for anything here.

My boyfriend and I were on this side of town to go to Maru Studio and instead of just eating at Bando next door we chose this Mexican joint thinkin it would be quicker. Our server was really the downside to this meal. I ordered a margarita right away and there was no sight of it for twenty minutes. I was going to skip the margarita because it takes me a while to drink a 27oz glass of frozen alcoholic liquid without dying from brain freeze. My boyfriend mentioned the drink and it was brought to our table several minutes before the meal. (We felt like it took longer than usual to receive our food… About 30 minutes from when we sat down.) I ordered a chicken cilantro burrito that had a really yummy cilantro cream sauce smothering it. The rice was a bit dry and nothing to write home about. The only good thing about our experience was the food. However, it’s definitely not the best Mexican I have ever had. I would say it’s standard fair for a joint like this. Not bad, not great… just good.

Absolutely my favorite Mexican place in the city! It’s locally owned and the employees get to know you and treat you like family. The Cilantro Burrito is stuffed full and covered with a house made cilantro cream sauce that keeps you wanting more. Everything is fresh and never sits under a broiler for long. Food comes out quickly too.

Went again recently. The buffet was much better than my previous trip, even though this time I went for a very late lunch. Just about everything in the steam trays was still pretty fresh. Not all items on the buffet were fully seasoned, so be prepared to add sauce/​salsa after your first test-​taste.
Very clean men’s room, very clean dining area. Staff speaks English well. They bring your check to the table.
Lots of employees from nearby businesses do lunch here.
I’ll have to order off the menu next time to be sure, but it’s looking like this could be a 5 star place, «as good as it gets» for what it’s trying to be.

Great Food, Large Portions. Priced Fairly. Service was helpful with the menu. From out of town but would return again.

Frozen Margarita was melted after 10 minutes. Their house favorite quesadilla (mushroom, chicken and cheese) was mostly cheese and not a very good cheese. Guacamole was runny (gross). Cheese dip was standard and was good. Spent $ 25 for lunch and a mediocre lunch at best. Save some money and bring your own margarita to Taco Bell.

This place is so good! The meals taste great, the prices are great and the entire atmosphere is great! Did I say great enough? I have had the same waitress each time I’ve been, and she was very helpful at picking out items from the menu and what certain items are.
The menu is huge, as are most Mexican restaurants. The chips are very good and the salsa is really hot! I like it that way. Every item on the menu is flavorful. I usually throw an a la carte item in as well, because I have a big appetite. This still leaves my meal at around $ 12 not including drink. That is very satisfying! I will be a regular at this Chile Verde from now on.
