Delicia - Indianapolis

They have chips and dip (guac and/or salsa.) that is it. there are also customizable salads. not sure if they have many vegan options earlier but nothing on the menu is really vegan. they can ask for a couple of things like to drill on their tacos when exchanging meat, but I am not sure whether the beans are cooked in any animal broth or not. not a bad place, but given the lack of intentional vegan options on the menu, this place should not even be on the app anymore. updated by the previous review on 2021-08-29

I wouldn't necessarily call this a hidden gem because I think the word is out, but for someone coming from Zionsville, this is Definitely something we needed to search to find. We were planning our anniversary dinner and we're mainly looking through places downtown. We scoured through photos and got recommendations from friends, but just couldn't decide. We were eventually in between bocca and Delicia. After reading the menu though, it was an easy choice. We were looking for something we couldn't just make ourselves and something that would be unique. Delicia fit our criteria perfectly and we're so glad we went! You can tell they were on it right from the start because we waited (only) 5 minutes for anyone to check in on our table and they ended up apologizing, taking our drink orders and even surprising us at the end with a free churro dessert. We've been places that will make you wait ten minutes or more and then never even mention it. Already I felt pretty good. We ended up getting 3 entres and 4 of their cocktails. Everything was amazing. We did the empanadas as an appetizer and they were perfect to share between two people and just so amazing fluffy and flavorful. The beef inside them was ridiculous! 10/10. Then for our entres I got the mar y Tierra which has flank steak and shrimp. My only negative on this dish was that the steak was a little chewy for my liking, but it was cooked perfectly medium rare, just needed to cut smaller pieces. 8/10. My wife ordered the birria and hers was a 10/10, extremely well thought out with the flavors and the rice and everything together was so delicious. We ordered four cocktails: EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE 10/10 PANCHO VILLA: 10/10 SMOKE AND STONE: 8/10 AMERICAN MATADOR 9/10 Being a whiskey drinker the emperor's new groove was an amazing cocktail, I will be going to buy the abasolo whiskey they used to make this because I already have the nixta corn liquor. Such an amazing drink. My wife's favorite was the PANCHO VILLA, really amazing too. Robin, our server was incredible at making recommendations and explaining the differences between the menu items. She made it so easy for us to make a decision by asking us our preferences. Oh, and those churros we had complementary at the end were just ridiculously delicious. So warm and doughy on the inside and perfectly sugared and crispy on the outside, and it also came with a chocolate dipping sauce. The whole ride home and even later that night we were reminiscing on the meal we had at Delicia! This is one of those places that we will be taking friends and family when they come from out of town. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

Service was great, but the restaurant was extremely crowded and noisy, making it hard to hear others at my table. However, the food was very tasty. We ordered ceviche, tuna, and salad—all were delicious.

Food was delish (as advertised) and the service was friendly and enthusiastic!

What’s lovely surprise! Kudos to the chef and kitchen for a thoughtful menu and solid execution on dishes that are interesting and delicious. Our server was knowledgeable, professional, and timely. Great evening all around!
