    The authentic Mexican food of the Midwest can be found in Indiana. The Hoosier State is home to traditional Mexican restaurants serving up everything from delicious arroz con pollo that tastes like something straight out of a Grandmother’s kitchen to traditional Mexican custard desserts. 

    Here are the five best Mexican restaurants in Indiana! 

    1. Tlaolli, Indianapolis, Indiana

    Tlaolli (pronounced Tlah-oh-lee) serves up some of the best Tamales in the Indianapolis area. Everything on the menu is carried out. Each item is made with the freshest ingredients and is made with 100 percent olive oil, making them more heart-healthy than other Mexican or Latin American dishes. Tlaolli is a favorite among vegans and vegetarians alike. If you are looking for something unique and fun, Tlalloi is who you want to see. They also offer catering in Indianapolis and other surrounding areas (be sure to call first).

    2. 3 Amigos, Kokomo, Indiana

    Another great Mexican restaurant in the Kokomo area that should be on your list is 3 Amigos. The food is fantastic, and they have some of the best margaritas in town. Dine out in their beautiful patio area on a warm summer’s eve, or eat inside and experience the authentic ambiance. One could make a meal out of their chips and salsa alone. The chips are crisp and salty, the salsa light, spicy, and flavorful! Try a giant veggie burrito or burritos deluxe, and be sure to ask for a carryout box at the end!

    3. The Tamale Place, Indianapolis, Indiana

    If the Tamale Place name sounds familiar to you, that’s because the restaurant was probably another Indy favorite featured on the popular Food Network show, “Diner’s Drive-Ins, and Dives.” Each of the tamales here is handmade and hand-tied. The masa is made with freshly ground corn every day, giving them that delicious homemade flavor. Tamale Place has been family-owned and operated since 2003, and as of 2014, they have three restaurants throughout the Indianapolis area. It’s easy to see why the restaurant made it on the show. The food is incredible. The customer service is fantastic, and it’s a great place to enjoy authentic Mexican food.
