"I 'll return soon . .. I was jonesin ' for some good mexican food, but refused to eat at the usual Americanized establishments I did a driveby : to look and this place had only Latino customers my hopes were raised, and I gave it a go. I will be returning soon!<br/ <br/ I was in the mood for traditional Mexican cuisine but this place has many seafood items too. So I started with a ceviche tostada and then had a steak enchilada plate with green sauce. The ceviche was excellent, spicy and not too fishy, clearly well 'cooked ' just like I like that crunchy tostada never went limp, and the perfect avocado slice adorned the top. The table sauce was great to add more kick. The enchilada plate was enough food for 2 meals 4 full obvioulsy hand made rolls of corn goodess filled with beatifully grilled steak, covered in a rich and HOT chile verde sauce rice and beans on the side. The taste was fantastic, but the chefs special decorative touch to the top of the enchilada with lettuce, queso fresco and sour cream made it a vision too. DELIGHTFUL! I saw others eating the whole fish special stunning too. I also saw a beautiful seafood stew at an adjoining table YUM! At this point, La Escollara serves the absolute best Mexican food I have had in Indiana over the last 11 years! <br/ <br/ The staff were very nice, and I was made to feel welcome, despite my apparent German heritage. Before I left, other gringos, apparent regulars, showed up. I learned it 's right to shake hands with El Jefe behind the bar when you come in it 's called respect, I think. That 's what I 'm doin next time!"
