I'm so glad I came across this hidden gem on Fountain square ! It's a small place right on fountain square but could still could get missed . Look out for the green building . We decided to try it on Friday evening as we were looking for a chill place to hangout . The servers were friendly and gave us their recommendations on food and drinks . I'm glad I ordered what they recommended . I had not heard of Tortas before . They were amazing ! I got the Megan Fox Tortas ( yes they are named after celebrities) it was juicy chicken breast , chorizo , queso and mozzarella. The sandwich was delicious and flavorful ! I ordered the house margarita which was classic and no surprises there . Definitely looking forward to try more tortas on the menu and hoping to experience outdoor seating next time :)

I had an excellent experience here. I came on a Wednesday around 1 p.m. There was a large family in the front room and I was seated alone in the back room. I'm always wary of being out of the main line of sight, as it can mean servers forgetting about you. That was not the case here. My server checked in frequently enough to be helpful but not enough to be annoying - just the right balance. I was very impressed with the food, drinks, and beauty of the presentation. I ordered a Topo Chico (mineral water). It was served in a chilled bottle, with an optional glass of ice, biodegradable straw (rice, maybe?), and optional lime slices. Lots of the reviews focus on the tortas, but have you tried their tacos? HEAVEN. My favorite birria tacos were nudged down to second place after trying the birria tacos here. They were incredibly flavorful with very few fatty pieces of meat. It came with the standard dipping sauce, but I barely needed it. I had a huitlacoche taco that was equally delicious. Tacos are served with two sauces that are flavorful without being extraordinarily hot. I ordered my tacos without "raw" onion and I was served cooked onion on the side. I'm not sure if that was because of my no onion request or if they are always served this way, but the cooked onions were perfectly charred/caramelized and make a great topping for the tacos. My only complaint about this place is that it isn't closer to my house. But really, that's probably better for my waistline and my wallet that this will be an infrequent treat.

Man the tacos here are so legit! I had the birria tacos and they were amazing very filling! My friend had just three simple tacos. We did order a side of beans and rice and we were both pretty fool after that! We were there late at night so it was quiet and service was very fast so we enjoyed it all! I will definitely come back one of the best spots for tacos downtown!

After my 4th attempt at snagging lunch here again I got the heads up that they are closed from 4-5 everyday. Super sad about this but now I know.

I love driving by this place It has outdoor seating on a busy corner. It is brightly decorated like Mexican restaurants should be. Bright turquoise, yellow, orange pink. The outside is painted a bright turquoise/green. The menu selection is fun. I had never had a torta and it was yummy. I prefer my Mexican meals to have a side of rice and beans and that wasn't really an option...but I was able to get my torta without cheese, so I appreciate that. My favorite part was the bread. It was fresh, crusty, soft in the middle--perfect. The strawberry margarita was yummy, but I prefer value with the big fish size bowls the size of your head. It was small, and it was not busy for a dinner time rush. We ate inside because it was hot and humid and wanted a little more privacy. The only real negative is that imho it that it was sorta pricey. I would look up the menu and prices and make sure you want to invest that for a meal. Like I said, when I get Mexican I want the whole enchilada, lol! I want to waddle out the door, feeling good and swearing I'm not gonna eat again for the next three days...and feel like I got the most for my buck. Buuuuuut, it is also close to downtown, across the interstate from Fountain Square...so maybe that's how they justify their prices. Plus with the torta it is a bit more of a niché. Idk. I'm glad I can say I tried it. I can't imagine *craving* it and going back...but if a friend from out of town stopped in and said, "DUDE. Do you know a TORTA place????" Then this would be the top of my list! And Hotel Tango is across the street if ya wanna have a bang for your buck sweet flight--4 what seems like double shots of STRONG liquor for $12. It's a nice after dinner treat, but I'll be honest, I don't remember much after I drank those... Enjoy!

New taco place in fountain square! Super cute inside! The food came out quickly and nice staff! I loved the chips and queso, the chips were so crispy and the sausage was a nice touch. The chicken quesadilla was filling and had lots of chicken, cheese, and tomatoes as well as onions. Super filling and well cooked. Cute green outside of building! Will be back.

La Eskina Indy is very great! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They have so many options for tortas on their menu. They also have some good taco options, including tacos de lomo. They have many Jarritos flavors that are hard to find as well. I didn't get any alcohol, but it looks like they had good margaritas, too. The inside of the restaurant is really pretty. It's cozy and there is a lot of colorful art. Easily accessible from the IndyGo redline (Fletcher place stop), the cultural trail. Parking might be hard to find super close, but it's available. It's located in a very walkable area. Overall this restaurant is amazing. I will be back many times. You have to try this place out!!
