Where Is the Best Taco Place Around Fountain Square, Indianapolis?

At The Perfect Squat, we take our squats seriously and our tacos even more so. We spent Tuesday evenings this summer playing pickleball and then walking to a local taco shop for post game fuel. After trying many tacos, we are sharing our research with you. Whether you are in the area for a good workout or just passing through, we hope you enjoy a taco stop as much as we have!

Here’s our unofficial, highly opinionated, and delightfully delicious list of favorite taco stops near Fountain Square, Indianapolis.

Revolución — Best Taco + Margarita Combo
Think patio vibes, neon lights, and tacos that pair perfectly with their house margarita. Ideal for when you’ve been pickled on the court by Tony’s top spin.
1132 Prospect St, Indianapolis, IN

La Margarita — Best Taco + Mezcal Combo
A true Fountain Square classic. Their tacos are flavorful, and the mezcal selection is next-level. Go for the carne asada, stay for the smoky mezcal flight.
1043 Virginia Ave, Indianapolis, IN

Tienda Mexicana El Puerto & Taqueria — Closest Walk from The Perfect Squat
Authentic, fast, and a dangerously short walk from our gym doors. Perfect for a “cool-down walk” and an “I-earned-this” taco.
1035 S Keystone Ave, Indianapolis, IN

Super Tortas Lucha Libre — Most Generous Tacos
Their name says tortas, but don’t sleep on the tacos. They’re piled high and packed with flavor and don’t skip the smoky chipotle salsa on the side!
1261 Shelby St, Indianapolis, IN

Suri’s Pink Taco Truck — Best Authentic Taco Truck
It’s impossible to miss the pink taco truck parked at English & Sherman. Authentic flavor, friendly service, and street tacos that’ll have you planning your next visit before you’ve finished the first bite.
Corner of English Ave & Sherman Dr, Indianapolis, IN

 

Las Mexicanas Super Market — Hidden Gem Lunch Counter
Inside this unassuming grocery store hides a true local secret: a small counter serving some of the most authentic Mexican tacos and plates in the area. Grab your groceries and your lunch in one trip.
414 S Sherman Dr, Indianapolis, IN

 

Yet to Try: Taco Jalisquillo
We haven’t made it there yet, but the reviews are glowing. Locals rave about the flavor and family owned restaurant, so it’s officially on our “next taco stop” list.
Near State Ave & Minnesota St, Indianapolis, IN
