Incredible food and margaritas keep me coming back. Very popular restaurant, for good reason, however always super crowded. No great place to stand and wait on your table.

Carmel / Westfield

About the restaurant

Fresh, homemade Mexican food crafted each day from the finest ingredients. Tony’s original recipes offer a variety of dishes from traditional fare such as sopes, tamales, carnitas and fresh corn tortillas homemade daily to modern cuisine including ceviche with fresh fish, lobster quesadillas, and a variety of tacos and burritos. Vegetarian and gluten free dishes available.

We offer a full bar including an extensive selection of premium margaritas and tequilas. Tequila flights featured seasonally.

Due to the popularity of patio season, we do first come first serve for outdoor seating, but with a reservation we give the diner priority and do our best.

About the restaurant

Popular restaurant BRU Burger specializes in two key items; beer and burgers. Busy Massachusetts Avenue in Indianapolis, Indiana, is one of fourteen locations of this eatery. The large dining room, with its exposed brick walls and warm lighting, is modern yet casual. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at BRU Burger is happy to help guests with everything from choosing a beer to pair with a burger or suggesting alternatives, such as chicken patties or black bean burgers for those who don't eat meat. With options like the Mexicali BBQ and the Provencal, it is no wonder that specialty burgers are the signature item at BRU Burger. Enjoy appetizers like BBQ nachos or beer battered onion rings before indulging in dinner. Salads are also available for those looking for something lighter.

We went to celebrate for my son’s birthday with him and his friends and everyone had a great time! We did the eat and play combo so they got to choose the food from that menu and then they each got a 90 minute unlimited play card. Our server, Ally, made our experience extra special! We went at 4:00 on a Friday and it hadn’t gotten busy yet. Highly recommend!!

Great food and chef. Server wasn't really experienced or just wasn't good. I had to literally pick up dishes and move them at least three times so that people actually had space on the table as they were done with portions of the meal. He just disappeared for long periods of time and when he did come back and just wasn't attentive.

We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail.

We had a very large party to celebrate our friends anniversary. We had 3 large tables of 10-15 and the staff was super accommodating! They were professional and friendly and had no problem splitting our checks. The food was good and the espresso martinis to die for! If I have a large group again I will definitely be back. Thanks for making our brunch run seamlessly!
