Delicia

Amazing food and wonderful service! We ordered the Peruvian ceviche for an appetizer, and we shared the Fanesca and Veracruz style fish (a special that day). All of it was superb!

This has quickly become the favorite Indy restaurant for when we have guests from out of town or if we are looking for a romantic spot for just the two of us. The food is divine and here’s a hint… the meals are big enough to share! Amazing cocktails and great service every time we’ve been. I love the space, the booths are comfy and although it can be a little loud we will take friends back when we can.

Delicia has steadily grown on me with each visit! I was admittedly surprised by the price my first visit. It’s more expensive than any Mexican type restaurant around… Until you realize it’s not like your average Mexican restaurant. The website calls it «innovative Latin American cuisine» which it most certainly is!
My favorite thing about it is the décor and atmosphere! The design is unique and well done. The outside of the building does not do it justice!
The food is amazing and original! I always opt for the empanadas because they are so good I can’t come without ordering them! The guacamole is also really good! Pair it with a margarita or one of their other specialty cocktails and you have it made! They also give you a little shot of broth/​stew deliciousness before your meal which is a great touch!
I hear great things about their brunch as well, and look forward to trying it soon!

Awesome. Great meal and service.
The soup ‘starter’ they serve is divine!
Haven’t had a bad meal here yet.
Great mix of cocktails depending on your tastes.
I highly recommend a visit!

I was there on a Saturday night on a date with my boyfriend. Joe was our server and he was awesome. Made great suggestions and I had the mahi mahi. Very good over the rice and green mole sauce. The cocktails were great we had the regular margarita and upgraded to the Noble margarita. It was worth it :-). I expect it to be very busy on a Saturday here and it was 45 min wait but we went to the casual bar attached first. They text us when they were ready. Only issue is it’s very loud with no sound absorption in the décor. Some fabric added might help but again, it was a Saturday.

The service Was the only good thing about this restaurant. The food was misleading and terrible. We are Peruvians and ordered the Peruvian Ceviche, Aji de Gallina, Tamales, and cheese quesadillas for the kids. Not even the quesadillas were good
The ceviche was not Peruvian at all; it taste more like Mexican which is quite different. The tamales and Aji de Gallina were plain and tasteless. It seems that they were not even able to cook rice; it was all sticky
The atmosphere was good but it is sad to see that our delicious food (one of the best of the world) was completely misrepresented.

OH MY GOSH. THIS PLACE. IS AMAZING.
The fish tacos are superb. The rice is to die for (I’m big on rice). I also got a virgin mojito (I know, I know, the struggles of being underage) and it was dangerous.

Dude. I have been trying to get to Delicia for a couple of months now, and we finally made it for New Year’s Eve! I’m a big fan of La Mulita, and every time I’m there, I have been looking longingly at the beautiful space next door in anticipation. We made reservations so we could get a spot for tonight. Delicia bills itself as Latin/​New Latin food from the Americas, Caribbean, and Spain.
Delicia is perfect for a date night, special occasion, or just a fun night out! The price point is a little high so just be aware that it’s easy to spend more than you think. However, all that to say that it is totally worth it. The décor is gorgeous! I’m no interior design expert, but I felt special just eating here!
I had a hard time deciding on which libations to try, but I started with the Peruvian Sunrise which contained pisco and crème de cassis. I absolutely love pisco which I discovered on my trip to Peru last summer. It was delicious, but I went for the Fire N Ice next. I love spicy drinks, and this will light up your taste buds! Be sure to sip! It contains jalapeño-​infused tequila and a habanero reduction among some other things. There is a large ice ball full of basil and peppers to compliment the drink and the spicy rim! It was just the thing to compliment my entrée.
I had the tamal corn cakes which are mentioned quite a few times in other reviews! Something about the idea of corn cakes and shredded barbacoa was calling out to me. I am so glad I went with my instinct! There seemed to be a slight sweetness in the corn cakes which went well with the barbacoa and the red onions. It was all topped with pico de gallo and Mexican crema. The corn cakes were also seared enough to have a crust to stand up to all the moist toppings. My husband got the chef’s special for tonight which was a beef tenderloin with a cranberry mole and vegetables. He said the steak was very good but not the best he’s ever had.
To top it off, we each got the flourless chocolate cake (Pastel de Chocolate) with a strawberry crème anglaise. For the uninitiated, flourless usually means extra dense and chocolatey! Our server, Joe, was so friendly, helpful, and attentive. I hope to be in his section again!
I am already looking forward to my next visit! I’d really like to get the tamal corn cakes again, but I’m thinking I really should venture out and try what is sure to be additional amazing dishes!

Brought a visiting friend here, and though it’s very different from every other Mexican restaurant we’d been to, we loved it. We arrived a bit early before it opened at 4pm (we had a weird schedule that day but were hungry) but we were seated at the bar at Delicia’s next door sister, La Mulita, and enjoyed a beverage while waiting for Delicia to open.
Walking in, I absolutely love the décor and atmosphere of the restaurant — slightly upscale, modern, hip. We were the only ones in the place at such an early hour on a weekday, and our server was attentive. I ordered the De Palmitos Ensalada, which had butternut squash and hearts of palm (a new thing to me), and was really delicious, the best salad I’d had in a while. My friend ordered something with duck in it (I should’ve paid more attention) and liked it. I can’t think of any criticisms for Delicia! SoBro is such a great area for food!

From start to finish, we loved this restaurant! I went with two friends, and only one of us had been before. The wine selection was impressive, but expensive, which wasn’t a complete surprise. The menu was overwhelming in the sense that every single item looked incredible and worth trying. I got the fish tacos, because they were the first item to catch my eye, and they did not disappoint. The food was rich, but we all really loved our meals. I am looking forward to going back and trying something new — as I’m sure everything on the menu is tasty!

I never leave Delicia disappointed! They offer a great menu full of well balanced entrée plates and excellent cocktails as well. I can not visit without a margarita on my mind. Excellent service and typically am able to get seated without much wait.
I would also suggest a side of sweet plantains be considered! I haven’t been disappointed by any meal I’ve had so I would order freely with what peaks your interest.

Hey Delicia, I’d like my future house to look like you. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. White painted brick, Aztec pillows, and a glowing bar create a beautiful atmosphere. I always take my friends from out of town here because hey, it’s impressive.
Breakfast is incredible. The chorizo biscuits and gravy are creamy and delicious, with the right amount of spice. The several omelette options are also fresh and fulfilling. I have yet to go for dinner but I know they have a different dinner menu and great cocktails, especially the «Fire and Ice.» Service is impeccable and very professional (not to mention randomly so attractive– not complaining!).

I have celebrated 2 birthdays at Delicia and have visited many times. This place is a true SOBRO gem! I have yet to have anything on the menu that I didn’t enjoy. I always start with their salsa trio; its the best way to prime yourself for all of the artfully composed dishes to come! The chefs truly take the time to pair seasonal items and give them a Latin flair. The service is always awesome and everyone there seems to love their job. Perfect place for a date night!

I loved this place already but I needed to update my previous review to highlight their new brunch offerings:
A group of ten friends and myself treated ourselves to brunch last weekend and sampled as much of the Delicia brunch menu as possible. Our orders ranged from Cuban Toast and coffee to Thyme biscuits and gravy with spicy (and very popular) Fire n’ Ice Cocktail. All were delicious — I would know because my friends and I eat quite communally. As noted in my previous review, the service was spot-​on. Lastly, I would like to note that I thought brunch menu prices were very reasonable. All meals ranged from $ 9 — $ 12 and were beautifully plated.

First time here for brunch but definitely not the last. This place hasn’t caught on yet, so we were the only ones here at 10:30 on a Sunday morning when we arrived. Our group of 10 got seated immediately.
Lots of options for brunch along with a full bar. The more popular cocktails are on the brunch menu, but they’ll make others that are on the dinner menu if you have a favorite.
I did the full order of cornmeal thyme biscuits with gravy and should have gone with a half order side instead. Served with a side of potatoes, there is a lot of kick in the gravy and it’s very filling. Biscuits were good but a little dry in my opinion.
It won’t take long for this place to catch on and become a brunch hot spot, so get in now while you can without a wait!

We’re from San Diego, where there is plenty of good Laatin-​American food, so on this trip to visit my husband’s family, (as we do periodically), we remembered how much we like Delicia, and came back here. What a treat! (Hint — Delicia, you’d do really well in San Diego if you opened another restaurant there, and we’d comee to visit you often!)
The service was good; the atmosphere was nice, and the food was AMAZING!
We started with the Guacamole, the Ceviche, and the Queso Fundido. The Quac was okay, but I prefer it simple, with less stuff in it. The Queso Fundido was delicious, as was the Cevice.
Oh — the specialty cocktails were interesting and refreshing. I was surprised, though that when I asked for a Kioki Coffee, the waiter said he didn’t know what it was and they couldn’t serve me one. Really? Usually, if they haven’t heard of it, they’ll Google it, and then fix one for me. Nope. But they did serve me a delicious Irish Coffee.
The entrees were the stars of the meal. Among the four of us, we had the duck enchiladas (Enchiiladas de Pato), the Aji a la Gallino (a chicken dish), and the Tamal Corn Cakes. All three were presented beautifully and were outstanding. The rice served with them was very bland., but the entrees themselves were spectacular., with the Corn Cakes (served with Barbacoa Beef) were my favorite.
Generous protions. I took half of mine home for lunch the next day and enjoyed it just as much@
When I left, I was sad — sad that we only come here once or twice a year and we won’t be able to come back until then! What was good was soooo good, that they get five stars despite the minor flaws.
Many gluten-​free options too, which was wonderful for one in our group!

Brunch is phenomenal here! Mexican breakfast is something I cannot get enough of. I loved the omelet and fried potatoes, and my husband loved huevos rancheros. Specialty coffee was strong and delicious, and a half order of their french toast makes a perfect «dessert» to top things off.
The bill seemed just right for portion size and quality.
I also LOVE the décor. From the outside you wouldn’t expect it to be so beautiful inside. Nice work, Delicia! I will be back for more!

It has been a long time, probably too long since my last visit to Delicia. Based upon a fellow Unilocalers recommendation, I treated my mother and sister to Mother’s Day Brunch at Delicia.
I love the vibe and atmosphere. Vibrant and energetic. Love the comfy seating. Simple and modern décor. The service was also spot on. Out waiter was pleasant and helpful. The menu is full of tasty options and not to mention reasonably priced.
I had the cornmeal biscuits and chorizo gravy. It was pretty tasty, but a tad too spicy for me. I liked how the sweetness of the biscuit helped counter the spiciness of the chorizo gravy. The side of heirloom breakfast potatoes was just ok. My nephew enjoyed the Cuban French Toast. My sister tried the Skillet de la Casa and loved every bite. My mom found the Panela Garden Omelette to be light and the queso cheese to be a nice addition.
All in all, we enjoyed our visit. Less than $ 50 for four people. Not too shabby. I am already looking forward to returning for the Cuban French toast and dinner. I can see why this place has quickly turned into a SoBro staple.

Went here Friday. Was a little peeved that the hostess will not put you in queue to get a table until your entire party arrives. I understand not seating until everyone arrives, but it seems extreme that you can’t get a place in line while waiting.
The Service once we got inside was good. The server was diligent. Though if you like things hot, ask for the hot sauce when you order. They serve salsa instead of bottles so it takes a little while. The fish tacos, mojitos, and tres leches cake were delicious though.
I don’t think this place is great for groups because it’s a bit loud. You can’t really hear one another.

Wow this place is great! We went here for brunch and had an amazing meal. We ordered the Chilaquiles Rojos, Breakfast Tacos, Cuban Toast, Fire N Ice and Peruvian Sunrise cocktails and everything was absolutely amazing. Sadly the restaurant was dead as a doornail (it was Saturday around 10AM), which was a bummer because it really took away from the meal — I’m not a big fan eating in empty restaurants.
I understand that they just started brunch, which is probably why it was really so hopefully it will pick up soon. If we are ever back in Indianapolis we will definitely be returning!
Great meal!
