La Escollera Mexican - Indianapolis

We have lived in Irvington for three years and have passed this place a thousand times. We finally went in last week. It is the best I have ever gad (well other then my Grandmother's). The prices, the service, the cleanliness all great! The authenticity is unreal! I am so upset we didn't try it sooner. Don't let the look or location keep you from stopping in. You will not be upset for giving it a try.

I 'll return soon . .. I was jonesin ' for some good mexican food, but refused to eat at the usual Americanized establishments I did a driveby : to look and this place had only Latino customers my hopes were raised, and I gave it a go. I will be returning soon!<br/ <br/ I was in the mood for traditional Mexican cuisine but this place has many seafood items too. So I started with a ceviche tostada and then had a steak enchilada plate with green sauce. The ceviche was excellent, spicy and not too fishy, clearly well 'cooked ' just like I like that crunchy tostada never went limp, and the perfect avocado slice adorned the top. The table sauce was great to add more kick. The enchilada plate was enough food for 2 meals 4 full obvioulsy hand made rolls of corn goodess filled with beatifully grilled steak, covered in a rich and HOT chile verde sauce rice and beans on the side. The taste was fantastic, but the chefs special decorative touch to the top of the enchilada with lettuce, queso fresco and sour cream made it a vision too. DELIGHTFUL! I saw others eating the whole fish special stunning too. I also saw a beautiful seafood stew at an adjoining table YUM! At this point, La Escollara serves the absolute best Mexican food I have had in Indiana over the last 11 years! <br/ <br/ The staff were very nice, and I was made to feel welcome, despite my apparent German heritage. Before I left, other gringos, apparent regulars, showed up. I learned it 's right to shake hands with El Jefe behind the bar when you come in it 's called respect, I think. That 's what I 'm doin next time!

Best chips in town. The pastor tacos are amazing and they always box up to-go orders perfectly so your food is still in tact once you get home. Very comfortable and the Orchatta is a must to try!

Best I've ever had. I was looking for a place to eat after a long run and decided to stop in. Like others mentioned, the menu is in Spanish with rough translations. I was fine with that. I picked up a few chicken soft tacos and a chicken quesadilla. The tacos were each served on two corn tortillas and were excellent. The quesadilla was also very good but I'd get the tacos. I also saw a few whole fish platter come out that looked very good. I took my order to go and they sent along a verde sauce and a very spicy orange sauce. The food was fresh and delicious. We ended up going back for dinner also!

Our server was very friendly and asked all the right questions to make sure we got what we wanted. The menu is in Spanish with rough English translations. I ordered the whole fried fish and my partner got pork bits-carnitas maybe? Both were delicious. An array of fresh sauces/salsas were brought to our table and the server explained what everything was. Freshness was very evident in all the delicious food, and the avocado was perfectly ripe. This is a Mexican seafood restaurant, not your more common 'Combos #1-22 ' place.
