   We like Verde but on Saturday they were superb. Our waiter was on point and the food was outstanding. The guacamole was not heavy on the onions (my wife isn't fond of raw onions) and the top-shelf margaritas were perfect. My wife had the chicken Enchilada with mole sauce - they have the best mole sauce recipe in the city - and I had a the special, which was three enchiladas filled with pork that had a great hot sauce with the enchiladas covered with cream. One of our best date nights at Verde

   Great food and service. I had my parents with us and it can be difficult but the waitress was very patient and very sweet to them. It was very much appreciated.

   Cochinita Pibil was fantastic. Chorizo was flavorful, not overly spicy, and had minimal fat - incredible. But the best part was absolutely the salsa and chiles - thick and perfectly spiced. Service was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

    The Ahi tuna with the Lèche de Tigre champagne sauce was the star of the evening. Do not try if you love the bland and ordinary. Otherwise, bon appétit!

    We always have an amazing experience at Verde. My parents are from out of town and have fallen in love with Verde so we come every time they are in town and it’s been an A+ experience every time. The food is hot, high quality, great flavors and portions, quick service, clean facility, and attentive waiters and waitresses

    Verde was amazing. The margaritas were great. The flavor of the food was phenomenal with a great Mexican flavor profile. My favorite Mexican food I’ve ever had. Definitely will be back for the specials for the Margs and Tacos during the week. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were just as good.

    There are so many restaurants that are extremely poor quality. Especially here in Indiana. Peoples pallets are very poor and they have no idea or have never experienced. And even if you put a much better quality of both preparation and ingredients in front of them, they all turn it down because it doesn’t taste like the over cooked and prepared. Crap there used to. Really excellent ingredients and meal preparation. My wife and I and our family have eaten in places all across the world and it’s not just about which restaurant is the most expensive or has the most patrons. To really find some great food do you have to be willing to go places where a lot of people won’t go or haven’t gone all that to say this is an incredible level of Latino food. If you’re looking for something for outside, what you get anywhere else and what you could prepare at home and this place is for you. Frankly, this is the only reason that I go out to eat is to have things that are far outside where I can get it home or make it home. Enchiladas Suiza’s is my favorite.

    The decor is lovely but the music was too intrusive for a normal conversation. My husband's burrito was good but my street tacos were rather bland and I used the garnishes from his dinner and the salsa from the chips to give them more flavor. As a side note, my preference is I like hardshell tacos better than soft. Just love that crunch and the texture. It's just an option so why not offer it to be more diverse.

    Arrived cold. Order did not match picture or discription. First complaint the server went to chef and was told that I was wrong (no asparagus on Octopus dish). I then asked for the server to review the menu picture and description and they agreed that I was right. Was given plate with 4 asparagus sticks just by itself. Don't they understand that you eat with your eyes, too? Shrimp in Paella was rubbery and fish was overcooked. Will not go to Carmel Verde again. Ironworks has great quality. This was a very disappointing anniversary dinner. Drinks are great, though!

    We've always enjoyed the food at Verde. I don't think there is a better Mexican restaurant in Indianapolis. The classic margarita is made well (enough tequila) and I really enjoy the spiced salt that the glass is rimmed with. Though we did have to request les ice for our second cocktail since the first had more ice than drink, which is not a good thing. My wife had the chicken mole enchilada, and their mole sauce is by far the best in the area with the taste of chocolate, cinnamon, and peppers complimenting the chicken. I had the poblano pepper which was different than what I had about a year ago; the current poblano was filled with cheese while the previous once was stuffed with vegetables. While the one I had yesterday was good, I thought the previous one was better. Our server, Michelle, was a gem - she knew when to leave us be and knew when to ask if we were ready for another drink, cocktail, etc. Verde is a great place to savor Mexican upscale entrees and so worth eating at.

    Our first time at Verde and we went with another couple. Carla, our server, was excellent - very welcoming and helped guide us through the menu with helpful recommendations; she also made good suggestions on Tequilla and Margaritas. We spend part of the year in Scottsdale, AZ, which is known for great Mexican food. This is easily the best Mexican food in the Indy area. Highly recommended. The only criticism is the noise level inside is high.

    Before I moved to Indiana, I was told that it was very difficult to find "good" Mexican food. Coming from California where there is an abundance of excellent Mexican restaurants, I figured it would be par for the course. Imagine my joy when the very place we visited, Verde: Flavors of Mexico in Carmel, had the best Mexican food we'd ever enjoyed, even in California. Everything was fresh and delicious. Even more amazing is that while other restaurants are raising their prices, Verde is doing its best to make dining family friendly price-wise. The people are so helpful and the ambience is much nicer than an average eatery. You won't regret eating there.

    Service was great, food excellent and we had a great time. We were seated promptly and our server was friendly & very efficient. We had a toddler with us & she made sure we had everything we needed. Our food was delicious. The plate presentations very pleasing and the portions enormous, well worth the cost. My Jalapeño Margarita was “out of this world”! We’ll definitely go back more often.

    We are older but hip…meeting old friends from Atlanta and trying to catch up over the music was hard. Even our 20 yo thought it was loud for inside dining. Love Verde but wish our experience was better. Service staff was amazing…food was good but not as good as usual, unfortunately for trying to impress our friends. We will be back although likely to Ironworks location, which we have come to prefer.

    This is a great plan for a broad array of delicious "Mexican" fare with a twist, great drinks, and great friendly service. My only complaint is that the music is often too loud making it difficult to converse. Most folks want background music when conversing with friends over margaritas or eating dinner, not a concert! (Verde...are you listening?)

    The food is always consistent. Our waitress vanished (probably cut) but the bartender that took over was awesome and attentive! The drinks were great but $15 for one drink is pretty high. We love verde but the music is so loud you have to shout to have a conversation. Please turn the music down. :)
