Scary thought isn't it? But what the heck, we decided to try it anyway. My sis lives in Indy so we are visting this week.
I wish I had taken a pic of this Mexican restaurant because you would die to see it. We were there for lunch and the place looked like a nightclub just waiting for the darkness. It was like a huge warehouse with a stage, a bar, a row of booths and about 8 tables.
I ordered a margarita because I learned my lesson -- when in doubt of the cleanliness or freshness order hard liquor. Weirdest margarita I've ever tasted. Not sure why. I tried to pinpoint why so weird, but not possible.
I ordered a mushroom quesadilla. Naturally, being in Indiana I expected to see canned mushrooms. I figure if that's what I'm expecting and they miraculously have fresh I'll be thrilled. No such luck. But they did saute the mushrooms along with onions and tomatoes. But you have to hear about the cheese. This was not real cheese. It was likc nacho cheese from a can. Oh my. Can you even imagine?! Why don't they use real cheese? It's beyond me why a restaurant wouldn't use real cheese. It seemed like food from a snack bar at a ball game. That's where I'd expect to see that quesadilla.
Moral of the story - go with your gut (don't eat Mexican food in Indiana).
Unless I go to Japan, I am never ever ever having sushi outside California.

Sushi in Denver is Awesome! The Dave and I have it once a week.
Your post reminds of the Bowling for Soup song, "Come Back to Texas." The singer is begging his girlfriend to come back to him and Texas. He tells her one of the reasons she should come back is "the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway." Very poetic.
Having good Mexican food is important. I loved New England, but I thought I would die if I didn't get some guacamole stat.
my father lives in columbus indiana, and they keep opening new mexican restaurants there. i don't know why, they close within a week because the food is inedible and no one bothers when there's a taco bell down the corner.
so sad.
