I expected this place to be like every other Mexican restaurant, but was very wrong. The vibrant colors, music, atmosphere, and food reminded me of the restaurants visited in Juarez when I worked there. The food was not just thrown on a plate with the standard beans and rice, but put on the plate with a presentation usually reserved for $$$ restaurants. The fish was cooked perfectly, and the seasoning was a flavor explosion. I thought it was a little pricey when looking at the menu, but everyone left with a second meal because of the generous helpings. Definitely worth a visit while in Lawrence.
I recently visited Caribe for the first time and it was a very pleasant surprise. From the outside, it looks like a very humble restaurant. The parking lot is rather the worse for wear and the building is underwhelming at best. Once inside, however, my impression changed 180 degrees.The atmosphere and decor, as the name suggests, put one in mind of a Carribbean beachfront bar. The food is tropical and seafood-oriented although there are burritos, tacos, and tostadas and other more familiar Mexican favourites, as well. There are some gorgeous tropical cocktails, too.The wait staff was friendly and very attentive. They repeatedly checked in on our situation, spiciness levels, beverage needs and so on. English was a bit of an issue but there was a translator staff member to help, as needed.The prices were reasonable but certainly not cheap. On Sunday afternoon when we were there, it was quite packed but we didnt have to wait. The music was loud so dont expect to have a lot of conversation unless you are prepared to speak loudly.Pro Tip: The restrooms were clean and decorated nicely. For dessert, you might consider picking up some cake at the Hispanic cake and donut shop next door.
Really enjoyed this restaurant. We speak little Spanish and the waitress spoke little English but we could tell she was trying and she was super sweet. Seafood is really good. Some of the best I’ve had. Mojito was amazing. Really fun and welcoming atmosphere. The owner is super nice. Recommend getting the flan for desert! Overall tasty, I would come back definitely. It is a bit pricey but I think it’s worth it.
Food was great. Grabbed some shrimp empanadas for lunch. Smelled amazing as soon as I walked in. Clean, cute little place. Service was above average even with a small language barrier (Google translate can help in a pinch but wasnt necessary on this trip). Music was a tad loud considering I was effectively alone, but given I hate mouth sounds would be appreciated had I had guests with me.
My wife and I came to explore Indiana from California and found this restaurant. This restaurant is amazing, food is out of this world delicious, service is great and atmosphere awesome! Definitely will be coming back during our duration in indy. I definitely recommend this place, beats all marisco restaurants in Cali !!
They are amazing for everythingServiceQuality foodPrices
Great food for the price. Place is clean and servers are really friendly.
They were busy on Father’s Day but we really liked what we read in the reviews so we decided to try it out. They did not disappoint the food was delicious, my husband loved the fish and I had Fajitas. The prices are good! The staff treated us very well. It did feel like we were able to visit the Caribe by eating at this restaurant. The decor is beach themed and they had a screen playing slideshows of beach sceneries.
Wow this place is fantastic. Unique menu with many things I’ve never seen at an Indianapolis restaurant. Not for people who fear flavor or new foods they are not catering to the American palette. Great atmosphere with music and decor that is on point. Clean bathrooms always and most importantly the best staff. Customer service is through the roof these folks take pride in their work, tip em extra cause I already know they deserve it.
Food was absolutely superb!! You can taste the love in every bite! The tomatoes in the salsa soo fresh! Food came out piping hot! Portions much larger than expected! Service was attentive and great!! Must try!!
You don’t deserve the star even , I just came and ordered food then I told her I’m going to car for a couple minutes when I came back the guy said they closed while they didn’t yet and there are people in there then he said she canceled the order coz I thought you not coming back !!!!!! I just left for 5 minutes , bad service bad workers
The food, drinks & customer service was outstanding! The menu offered a variety of different selections, I had the Al mojo de ajo and words couldn’t describe how flavorful the fish was! I also enjoyed the oysters topped with Ceviche. 10/10 highly recommend! I also really enjoyed that everything was in Spanish and only upon request would you get a menu in English.
We love this place. Its always packed. Make sure you plan on waiting, if you come on weekends. Waiter are frindly for the most part. Food does take a bit long if they are busy. This is not a quiet place. Pretty loud, always have music on.
Listen... if this full belly could talk... the food was excellent, great service, friendly welcoming atmosphere. I told my bestfriend we had to try this place out after seeing the reviews. It more than met our expectations we are definitely coming again.We had a tough time figuring out what we were going to order because there were so many great meals to choose from. Photos on our next visit for sure.
One of my favorite places to eat. Food is always spot on, service is impeccable. The only restaurant I have ever been to that delivers your food exactly as pictured on the menu. I have joked that each time I have gone I am the only “gringo” but no one ever makes me feel that way. I highly recommend for authentic taste and great atmosphere. You will not be disappointed…
Nice atmosphere! It is really a Mexican restaurant serving tilapia and red Snapper. No real seafood place! Total let down. I ordered chicken wings. Friends ordered shrimp and steak and peppers.The main problem is the language. Only one person could understand what we asked. Every one else smiled and waved! 😕
This place is a hidden oasis! The food and atmosphere is amazing. Great fresh seafood and friendly staff. We had the fish tacos and the crab bowl. Wowza! The portions are insane. This is our new favorite place.
Food was great . Loved the atmosphere and the services. Would def recommend and come back !!!
Very good food. Service wasnt bad, communication was labored. Everyone was a native Spanish speaker. I would really rate this 4.5 stars. The AC was broken which wasnt that big a deal , but I ordered a desert and they were out of strawberries. The plating was nigh artistry.
The worst service I’ve had in a while. We where a group 6 and we all split our checks into 2’s and forced tip on on tabs, and you know why? Their service it the worst. We all ordered our food at the same time and we all got our food at different times. Between our first order coming out and the last one it was a difference of about 1 hour and half. Definitely won’t ever call me back here again nor will I recommend this restaurant to anyone..
Everything (food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness) was amazing. Food was absolutely delicious and had so many different options than most Mexican Restaurants. Definitely recommend
Beautiful Gulf interior decor. Owner is friendly and noticeably proud of his establishment. FRESH seafood! I mean , real seafood! Lightly spicey. DELICIOUS! 2nd time to dine here. Will be back!!
The food is nice, we ate a bowl of crag legs, fish, shrimps, shells and its about $27 per portion. The price is a bit high but the place is worth to eat seafood. The waitress is not really humble.
For something new in Indy, this is a must on my list. The food was excellent and full of flavor. Scores a 10/10 compared to such places like Red Lobster. Will definitely put this on my friends must try list. The service was welcoming and warm. The whole experience was AWESOME overall rating a 10/10. Thanks for bringing a little of the Islands to the east side of Indy. Michael G bowman
I don’t suppose I would give the neighborhood or the building five stars. But for the food, the cleanliness, the waitress, the feeling that you had just stepped through a wormhole into a wonderful little restaurant in Mexico or Latin America, it’s definitely worth five stars. We travel a lot to enjoy other cultures and have pretty much been grounded since Covid but this place made us smile like we were a thousand miles away. The food was good, tasty, and authentic. The prices were reasonable and the portions were relatively large. I’m really glad that we stumbled across this place. We have already told friends that they have to go.
I Love the decor..I like the drinks, but, Im not really a cilantro girl. So, with that being said, if you like, no, LOVE cilantro, then this is the place for YOU!!! Its heavily in EVERYTHING! Also, I was expecting more Caribbean flavors. (Its more of a Mexican food restaurant). They have great service (it helps ALOT to speak Spanish, otherwise, ordering might be a little troublesome 😉). They have large tvs with sports on. Kids will have fun in the environment, and have their own menu. Live entertainment can be seen there. Nice array of seafood dishes. Prices seem to be fair! Probably will come back with some girlfriends..
No place like it in the Indianapolis area. This is a unique must try restaurant. The flavors were amazing portions were good and the staff was friendly.Make a reservation so you dont miss out
Authentic Mexican food with a Caribbean influence that will knock your socks off. The enchiladas were superb and the three meat tacos were out of this world! Very quaint atmosphere with good music and my margarita was very good as well. If youre on the northeast side of Indianapolis and want great Mexican food you should come to Caribe!!
Great food great service great atmosphere unique and interesting dishes and great price. What more can you ask for? Our second time here. And we are bringing our 12 party family in for a party on Sunday!
Shrimp ceviche and garlic shrimp are impeccable. Everything Ive tried has been delicious. Love the strawberries and cream.
My experience here was absolutely amazing!!! I will definitely be returning. Note: Most of the employees speak mostly Spanish. I would say do your homework before you come in and use some Spanish words/phrases when you come in to help with your experience. You can tell they want you to have a great time. The food was beyond good. Im still thinking about it. We ordered fajitas, the mojarro to garlic, ceviches toast, prawns, and the broth soup, and the other soup that had octopus in it. The prices were so affordable, especially for a big birthday dinner. The chips and salsa, mmmm mmmm mmmm. Ha! I could go on and on but overall they get a 10/10, highly highly recommend, and yes we will be going again and again. Great staff, great service, great food. Nice bathroom too. The birthday celebration they do is spectacular, the music timed perfectly with the sparkler and the churros were outstanding, perfect texture and taste. Social distanced, and still a wonderful experience.
Great food and beautiful restaurant, the waiter was not attentive and had a an attitude... so I didnt like that but I definitely enjoyed the food.
Wonderful atmosphere 👏. Service and food were great. Had a friend here from Texas and he loved it.
Nothing is in English and the staff doesnt speak it. Wont return. Its not worth the hassle.
Delicious, authentic flavors. Clean dinner and hospitable wait staff and management. The ceviche is so delicious. The margaritas are frozen and delicious.
Great seafood. All employees were friendly, helpful. I would even say fun place. We plan to return for weekend music or karaoke.
Fun but high end quality foods
The food was ok but it took them 1hr 15mins to bring appetizers and a total of 1hr 45 mins to get the food. They were taking out to go orders the whole time we were there! If your hungry and want to eat fast this is not the place for you! Do not tge recommend!!
The food was decent but not great, waited a decent bit for my food. Was very disappointed they didnt have an option to order crab legs on their own, and the language barrier was difficult to overcome to order what I wanted to.
Hi . I have a real bad experience in this restaurant me and my girlfriend Wind or dinner And then everything was fine until the awaiters tell us that she needs she wants us to move Because she wants to use this table automatically and ask her why And she dont say anything she basically said shes just gonna use it since Ive seen the situation and the poor service that I just get me I decide they just go ahead and get up and tell my girlfriend lets go somewhere else . Was very sad experience .
I removed a star just for the simple fact that i asked for a to go cup and they didnt have one, please get styrofoam cups! I love coming here and i never finish my drink and i would love to take it to go, not in a container for food but in a styrofoam cup, thank you.
There food was amazing. The staff gave my son some complimentary candy. The wait was the only thing I didnt like but the food was definitely worth the wait.
Excellent food quality, with very appealing presentation. Definitely a great value and a great selection of entrees as well as appetizers.
If you are tired of every Mexican restaurant with the same food, then come here. The food is fabulous and different from any other restaurant.
The food is ok but is not an authentic Mexican flavor, I dont know about another country
Great service and good food if you are looking to enjoy good seafood this is the place. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Best seafood I have had in Indiana and the customer service was phenomenal 12 out of 10 I highly recommend!!! Our server was Janette she is great
Its a new Mexican restaurant on Pendleton Pike. I picked up a GrubHub order from there. I cannot comment on the food but the place was clean and presentable.
Absolutely delicious and very good customer service they even accommodated me a meal that wasnt on the menu
Food was good staff were friendly and helpful would recommend
Ordinary good live music. Only dislike: there wasnt anyone patting anybody down, which made me feel a bit concerned about everyones safety.
Passed this place up for ten years and finally decided to stop in. Best decision! Food and service was outstanding!
Everything was delicious.clean place to have a good dinner.
The food was ok but it took 1 and a half hours for our appetizers and an hour and 45 min for our food.😡😡👎Do not recommend
The BEST Seafood i have tried. Great pricing and great Taste. Will be eating here often.
Mexican restaurant with a seafood name. It was decent but over priced and you cant get refills without paying more. Probably wont be back.
Was seating for a long time with no service, tables that seat after me was being serviced, after a long time we left the place, very bad service and it wasn’t even full to use that as an excuse
Never been somewhere I didnt like anything but the original sprite I ordered. Kinda high too for the small meat portions.....Never again
Pleasant discovery, food was good, service was good, will definately return. Food was fresh and tasty.
Happiest restaurant I have ever been in. Mexican seafood unusual and fantastic. Ambiance is terrific.
Outstanding every time. Definitely worth a try! Tostada Trio is excellent
Listen...GO! Youre most welcome❤️🔥My apologies...no pic...I forgot with no regret🥴🤣
The food and service is always excellent!
Come to enjoy. Is very delicious.
Great place, very good food and customer service is excellent.
Delicious food and drinks and excellent service! I will be going back.
I absolutely love this place. Be prepared to adventure from the typical fare but you will be rewarded.
It was horrible, never coming back again. Lady was so disrespectful and laughed at me. This is ridiculous.
Great place to go eat great service 👌🏻

I really like their food, the service is very friendly and fast, the only thing is that my husband ordered an extra order of tortillas that never arrived, the waitresses threw the ball at each other and spoiled my husbands birthday, the manager alone He said that the waitresses had already told him about it but he didnt do anything ☹️☹️
Me and my wife had stopped at this place a few years ago when it first opened, and we really liked it, but this last visit I made was very unpleasant. Something that sets the ceviche apart is the lemon flavor but the mixed ceviche that I and my wife ordered was dry. The fish and asada tacos were a little salty. Our waitress only took our order and brought drinks, we didnt look at her until it was time to clean the table and collect her tip. I dont know if we arrived very early or at a very slow time but it is a shame to write reviews like this for a place that is very beautifully decorated and has 4.7 stars…
I love this place, the food to the point, the exceptional service and a familiar, clean and pleasant atmosphere. 100% recommended.
Excellent food, with an extensive menu, very good portion, very clean place, beautiful decoration with a very good atmosphere, the waitress very attentive and helpful. Personal attention from the owner... not to mention the drinks and desserts, all of 5-star quality. Definitely a place to recommend and return.
The food is excellent, very delicious, the drinks are also very good, recommended.The only bad thing is the terrible service that the waitress Sarai offered me very reluctantly, I asked her for a drink and she arrived by placing the jar on the table. He didnt approach the table to see if I was offered anything else, he had to talk to the other waitresses so they would serve me. The other waitresses were very friendly and attentive.
Excellent service, the waitresses are very friendly and the food is delicious, highly recommended.
Seafood soup was delicious! Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
I love this place... I love the attention they give, their dishes are delicious 😋 the drinks too
Very delicious food but the morning is not a good waitress, the talking is tiresome, impulsive afterward everything is fine, nothing to complain about
The green enchiladas with chicken are too salty, you cant even eat them. Yesterday I placed an order from this restaurant and I practically had to throw the enchiladas in the trash because they couldnt be eaten because of so much salt in the green sauce 😬
It is a good place for seafood for those who are lovers it is a very nice nice place
Divine food, excellent service, beautiful atmosphere.
The food is not very good, I ordered some shrimp empanadas and they were very thick and raw, the atmosphere is good but it is something cantineque well, thats my opinion, it needs to separate the bathroom from the tables, put a race
Very delicious food, good portions and good service. A little exaggerated in the Halloween decoration. They had a monkey/doll when they opened the door, obviously the children get scared. Im not from the area but I think its a family restaurant but with that decoration it seems like they dont accept children, we who take children is not highly recommended, one of the children who was with us didnt want to go in, he was afraid 😨 but well the decoration Its temporary lets hope the taste of the food doesnt.
Terrible service and food not good and cold I do not recommend it
The food is good, the songs are good but it is the first restaurant where they charge me for the chips and the tip is already included in the ticket, I think the tip is earned, not asked for.
Very delicious food and we didnt have to wait for the food to arrive.
Very good food, especially good service from the waitresses.
Beautiful and very delicious food
Excellent place to eat, good flavor and very well served, varied dishes, very pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
It is the best so far that I have been to, I will definitely return 😍
One of the best restaurants I have visited, good food, good atmosphere, good service, good drinks and above all good prices, I love going with my family and friends,
Dont stick! What ceviche, what seafood, what price!
Not because they collect the tip on the bill and dont let you know.
I have been to this restaurant several times and the food and service are excellent. Everything tastes so good. I love the hygiene of the place.
The worst experience I have ever had, terrible service from the waitress, we had been waiting for more than 10 minutes for someone to serve us, no one came to take our order and the waitress who gave us the table first served another couple who arrived last than us.My husband and I decided to leave since no one came to serve us, not even to take our drink or chip order.
The worst service in all of Indiana.My order was confirmed at 8:40 and it was 10 and they still didnt have my food ready. Then they give me the order half-heartedly and reluctantly. When I asked for what I was missing, everyone acted crazy and no one wanted to give me what I was missing.Useless and disrespectful.
I really recommend this place, they have very good dishes, I recommend it.
A very cozy, clean place and excellent service. The very attentive and helpful owner treated us very well and made us feel at home even though they are of another nationality. Thank you for your attention we will see you again soon. The food was excellent, in less than an hour they served us everything we ordered, which was a lot.😆
Good food and good service every time I have eaten here
Very good place to eat, a family atmosphere, and the staff very attentive to the diners.... recommended
The Hawaiian wire and the Hawaiian fajitas are the same I ordered both dishes and the dish does not come with tortillas not good this time
Molcajete has a slightly bland flavor
Good atmosphere, excellent service and very good food
Very delicious food! I highly recommend it! The place is very clean and the service is excellent!!!
Excellent place and even better the service of the person who served us, I think its called luz, highly recommended 👍👍👍
All the seafood dishes in this place are very good, I recommend it 👌
Very good food and nice place, I recommend it
Terrible service, I was there and nothing to see, the waitresses dont actually earn the tip, bad idea to include it in the ticket, so they dont feel like it, very bad cervisio, more attentive to the phone and a little boy running, this time they failed me
Good food, very friendly waiters, I recommend this place
A magnificent, very pleasant place to spend time with family and friends, the food is excellent and the staff is the best!! Excellent please and staff! But the Mexican food is YUMMY YUMMY 😋!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!!
Good service and very delicious food and in a very good place, we already lack a good restaurant here in Asia on the eat side....
It is a delight in all aspects
Good place, good service and very large plate that they serve, good price
Everything is super good
Good service and very good food
Let me know when. Dont have air. For. No. Go. It was. Horrible. The. Meal. Hot. spicy. And. A heat. Unbearable too much. Delayed. The. Waitress. I dont know stop. All the time
I loved the spaghetti with seafood that I ordered and my husband the seafood mocajete... Everything was super delicious
Excellent place to go eat with the family
Whenever I can I go there, very clean and although they change waitresses a lot, the service is good.
Good service, good food, affordable priceBut there is a lack of personal security for covid 19 without masks and thus serving the customer
Excellent service, food and place! Extremely surprised that there was finally a good seafood restaurant on the East side!
Very good food I hope they dont change their service and excellent food
Excellent place. A very pleasant atmosphere. The chefs are amazing!!!👍🏻I recommend it 100.
I love everything they do for food ❤️ and the service is very good
Excellent place highly recommended for a good meal 👍
Bad service that they give there after an hour and 20 minutes it took them not to provide the food service, a place that is not recommended so you should not go to eat there
My first trip to Indiana and I can say that it is wonderful, I wanted to eat the entire menu 😋😋😋
Terrible service, 3 hours waiting for dinner, these people pass by and not even chips are enough to kill hunger 🤬🤬😡😡
Very good service, it has live music, the food is very delicious and delicious.
Good place, good atmosphere. And delicious food
