    I was so excited to come here! Especially without the kids, since they’re picky and annoying. There’s so much vegan/vegetarian optional food and it’s discounted on Thursday so that was convenient. The tostones were so freaking good. Crispy, crunchy, and delicious. Even the beans were fantastic, maybe the best beans of my life… Corn nuggets were so much better than I expected. Sweet with a salty hit from the cheese. So light and fluffy and crispy and perfect. Street corn was totally legit. The Takis shoved in were a nice addition of flavor. Vegan tamale was good, maybe too much masa, but that’s pretty common around here. Staff were super friendly. Pretty cozy and quiet dining area for sitting. Overall, it was great.

    Found this place just scrolling on Happy Cow since my wife is vegan and thought we would give it a try. I never turn down a chance to eat pupusas and it’s rare to find vegan ones for her. It’s a cute little restaurant in a shopping center. The food was delicious. So much flavor packed into each pupusa and they’re a good size too. I had the asada and cheese along with the revuelto (a classic). She had the veggie, loroco and the Korean which was her favorite and even I was surprised at how good it was. The customer service was also sensational. It was just two people working front of house and they were on top of it. Every time something was empty on the table they were there almost immediately to refill or take it away.

    Amazing vegan options! I had a "steak and onion" burrito that was so flavorful. If I didn't order it myself, I would have thought I was eating real steak! The service was incredible and they were able to answer all of my questions and make suggestions on what to get. 10/10 highly recommend. Definitely will visit again next time I am in Indianapolis

    WOW! We got the Taco Tuesday special -- 2 tacos and chips + (queso or salsa) at an awesome price. The homemade chips came out as fresh as it gets, and the queso is incredible. Normally I treat chips as little more than a queso or salsa delivery system... But their chips are genuinely DELICIOUS. Probably the best chips I've ever tasted! & their tacos, oh man... Central Indiana has no business having tacos this good. The meats are perfectly marinated and seasoned, and the tacos are PACKED with outstanding flavors. The store itself is really cute with a very welcoming atmosphere, and our server was particularly kind and helpful. This is easily one of my favorite spots in all of Indianapolis! You should absolutely go out of your way to eat here, it's very much worth it👌

    Great place for vegans to satisfy their Mexican food cravings. Got the vegan tamale and it was pretty good.

    If you enjoy pupusas, this is the place to go in Indy. They are always freshly made and come with a side of vinegary coke slaw. The place is clean and cheery. It is a repeat destination for me.

    The pupusas here are amazing! Not too greasy, and good flavor (I got the chorizo con queso). I also got the cheesy ground beef taco, which was also good. My husband said the tamales were the best he's ever had at a restaurant - and he knows his tamales. Friendly staff and a comfortable space to enjoy a lunch. Please support this local family owned and operated restaurant!

    Idk why this place has 4.8 stars that was nasty. I'll give credit that the maple bacon Papusa was good, bean and cheese I threw away it tasted dreadful - horchata, dreadful. The queso was basically nacho cheese you get from a ball park. Tortilla chips, idk how you have bad tortilla chips but found a way. I'm not a picky eater, I'm a literal garbage disposal but somehow this found a way and managed to charge me 30 dollars for two people for it

    The food is subpar and that’s putting it generously. The queso is from a can from Sysco and the chips looked and tasted like they were on their 4th round through the fryer. The pupusas themselves were ok but had a weird aftertaste. Salsas and sauces were good. Save your money for something worth $35 for 2 people.

    A dear family member of mine suggested 3-in-1 as a bite to eat before we went to an event. I had pupusas before but didn't like them. This wonderful place changed that! I can't get enough of the bean & cheese pupusas. I don't live close, but I'll drive up here without any complaints. Seriously, the pupusas are huge, delicious, and VERY affordable. The sauces are awesome. The staff is so friendly. The restaurant is so well-lit, comfortable, and clean. Service is unmatched! I recommend this place to everyone. I'm a customer for life. 😊 Thanks for reading my review. Have a great day!

    This is my new favorite restaurant in Indianapolis. Great menu with lots of options, including tons of vegan offerings. Everyone was super friendly and the food was amazing. Definitely don’t miss this place!

  • 5/5 Brandi 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious, it was so hot and fresh! The pupusa, empanadas and the tamale were the best I’ve ever had.

  • 5/5 Marian C. 7 months ago on Google
    Wonderful find today! This was our 1st time trying El Salvadorian food and we were not disappointed! The "3 in 1" name refers to Vegetarian, El Salvador, & Mexican food. We tried the Tostones for our appetizer, which are smashed, fried plantains with the BEST refried beans I have had in a LONG time (like decades!), pickled red onions, & cotija cheese. We shared 3 different Papusas, which come with an interesting slaw on the side. I don't generally like cole slaw, but this had a unique flavor (and crunch) to it. They also brought out 3 different salsas- mild (a little sweet- fruity (maybe mango)), medium (green- our fave), and hot. The hot sauce would be my only complaint - I LOVE heat, but this had more of the "chemical burn" flavor, which (in my opinion) takes away from the flavor of the food. They also have thoughtful touches in the restaurant - like the purse holders at each table & a cell phone shelf in the restrooms (above the TP).

    The love and care is apparent here. Our plant-based group visited here because it is one of those rare places that thinks of the dairy and meat free life. They offered me a vegan menu when I walked to the counter (do we have an ethereal glow? Who can tell?) And service was fast, food was hot and served with a friendly face. I also thought it was cool to see the different areas blocked off for extra privacy which was great for discussion.

    We loved everything about 3 in 1. The staff was patient and responsive. The food was flavorful. It's the type of restaurant where I could take someone, and they'd think it would look a little experimental, but be set at ease with their first bite. The prices and specials are great as well.

  • 5/5 Kimberly H. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is small and quaint. The menu is full of generous small dishes like tacos and empanadas so you can mix and match two or three items. The dishes are served with hot sauces. The hot is spicy but doesn't overpower the flavors of the dish. Most items are gluten free because the are based. The starter are generous and the quest is by far the best I've had. A must try restaurant.

  • 5/5 Mark P. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheese&Chorizo and Cheese&Chicken pupusas are inexpensive and delicious; I'd presume the same is true at least with tacos and some other pupusas that I've not tried. Very friendly service. Pleasant building interior; although it's a bit small, and I'd guess it might get crowded sometimes during peak hours

    Great place to eat if you have a gluten allergy! Lots of options and the staff is extremely helpful! The food is delicious! I told them I have a gluten allergy on a door dash order and they called me to tell me there was gluten in their frying oil. I was able to change my order before I had any issues!

    I loved the atmosphere and their food was delicious! I ordered the vegan pupusa and the empanadas!

  • 5/5 Dan W. 1 year ago on Google
    ive never had a papusa before but they were excellent

    I believe this place is family-owned and I’ve come to realize that is how some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life is prepared. By the hands of a loving family! I am a vegetarian and the vegan/vegetarian items on the menu are to die for. I haven’t even eaten everything on the menu yet, but I’m working on it ;) I will be back here time and time again!

  • 4/5 Drew G. 1 year ago on Google
    Decided to give this restaurant a try and I’m glad I did. I have never had a pupusa before and it was very savory. I also ordered some tacos and a sweet tamal. I was not a fan of the tamal, but the tacos were delicious. I will certainly return to enjoy more pupusas

  • 5/5 Big R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best Mexican food ive ever had!! Completely worthy of five stars. We tried tacos, burritos, a pupusa i believe (so good), some empanadas filled with meats, and tamales. The chipotle pork is perfectly smoky! The steak taco was very full of meat. The veggy tamale (i think it was squash?) was worth it by itself! Everything is SO worthy here. Its obviously all home made/made in house, even the corn tortillas - and they doubled up the corn tortillas for our tacos! The tamales were easily the best ive ever had. There has been a lot of thought put into each food item here and the execution shows. We got at least 6 small plastic bowls of condiments like diced onion, cilantro, two hot sauces, CHEESE, AND SOUR CREME! Who does that? It showed great consideration for the customer. We also ordered chips that were very thick and obviously homemade to go with our homemade queso. Our only complaint, its so minor, is that they could use a bit more salt in things. And my partner thought most things were a bit spicy for her but i loved it all. There were NO leftovers lol. By the way the sauces are superb, we had a red sauce that was very very mild yet flavorful (might have also had mango or some fruit in it??) and i was surprised that my verde that i love had a pleasant kick to it - both very fresh - could have drank them right from the container! Now... they make a homemade red sauce that is truly not for the faint of heart and its worth every penny - I love spicy food and it was just right but also made me sweat! So flavorful though! I walked in to pick up the order and the place was spotless clean and i got a nice welcome as well! I WANT TO EAT HERE EVERY DAY! Its that good! Future Mexican food i eat will always be judged by this place. Ive found a new favorite place to eat and hope i can share my great experience so someone else might as well. Cant say enough good things about this place and cant wait to come back!

    Great customer service, the food was hot and tasty. Lots of vegan options that are clearly labeled. Portion sizes are good, I visited twice and tried all different things. My friend said the chicken and cheese Empanadas were the best she'd ever had. I tried the captain jack Quesadilla, vegan tamale and vegan tinga papusa the first time. Wished the Quesadilla had more texture but it was full of flavor. The tamale was stuffed and spicy, always a good thing. The papusa was good when paired with their green sauce, I was expecting more filling. The second time around I tried the vegan tinga burrito with a side of fries, both put a smile on my face. The burrito was filling and savory. If you visit don't forget the green sauce! I plan to return until I try everything vegan. I wish they had morethan one vegan dessert, didn't try it. The price was a little steep, $5 for one papusa or $5 for one side of fries is a bit much but I understand prices are high for everyone.

    My girlfriend and I found this place 2 weeks ago we've gone back 3 times!! The food is delicious, the empenadas are fire, tacos are great, and the tamales are 2nd to none. Would recommend if you want good food, with great service. Also the place is extremely clean, which is a plus. Keep up the awesome work!
