Acapulco Joe's has been my favorite restaurant in Indy for many years, however I ate there recently after a years absence and will never, ever go back. It was filthy. The windows were dirty, but the menues were so filthy I didn't want to touch them. I asked for clean menues and was given some that were equally dirty with food smeared all over them. I just left, surely the owners or managers can see the filth? Sadly, this place doesn't even deserve a one star rating now.

This place (and it's sister location on Pendleton Pike) is our favorite place to go, and not just for the Mexican food. The Cuevas Family are great people, and the quality and value of the food has never disappointed. The largest Chile Relleno I ha ...

Los Rancheros is the best. No other place will do for us. Tonight the quesadilla made with chicken and pork was on special. I was in heaven, and have enough left over for lunch tomorrow !!

It seems like every other time i go they get my order wrong. I like the food but its getting annoying to drive home and then finding out that my meal is wrong and then having to drive back to get the right meal.

My wife and I visited the On The Border Restaurant in the Castleton area last night and had a truly enjoyable dinning experience. The restaurant was busy when we arrived but we were still sat at a table within a few minutes upon arrival. After immedi ...

I was very pleased with this restaurant. Prices were good and the food was good. The service wasn't too bad considering our server had only been there almost a week. I got a Neon Margarita and I have to say that it was one of the best drinks I have h ...

When ever we are in Indy we go out of our way to go to Joes. It is not taco bell, so if you're into that junk, don't go. Don't know where the bad reviews come from but they may as well just go to Taco Bell.
The food is great, we have never had any problems with the wait staff (we don't get drunk and obnoxious) and the prices are reasonable.

The worst I've had. Everything is covered in this glop and you can't tell what you're eating... burito, enchilada, ? The salsa is just lumpy catchup.

Excellent Mexican food. You don't go away hungry. Well worth the wait if you go at peak times. Price is reasonable. We go at least once a month.

I know this is an Indy institution, but its yucky. Just walk toward the Indy Athletic club and smell around the kitchen area...nightmares.

Don't go.
