    Indaco never disappoints. I went there for a special occasion with a special person and Chef Eric and team provided an absolutely impeccable experience. Alyssa (please forgive me if I misspelled her name) was our incredible server, and she was so great on every level (we can't wait to go back and see her again!). Overall, Indaco offers an incredible dining experience and I will be going back often. Thank you, Indaco. Sincerely, Jeffrey Giambrone

    Absolutely LOVED this place. Our cocktails were amazing… I had the “pornstar martini” and the “unholy water” 🤌. The Al Pastor Tacos were by far the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Our waitress Dani was so fun and had a great vibe. Highly recommend the truffle edamame as well.. def had a bit of a spicy kick to it but still so so good. Overall, this place had the best ambience and such a cozy/moody yet sophisticated and sexy vibe to it. They played great music at the DJ booth (I shazamed like 4 songs) Perfect night for a fun date spot! 11/10 !!! Pro tip — if they seat you against the window make sure to sit down first and snag that booth!!!! It was like sitting on a cloud.
