Gomez Catering And Events - Warren Park

I noticed this place as I was driving by on my way to a chain sandwich restaurant for lunch. I followed my instinct and ate here instead. I'm so glad! The brisket was tender. The sauce was so good that I was glad to have bread to mop up every drop. Already looking forward to coming back.

This was a great place! One man operation the Saturday night we went there. Didn't have to wait long to get our food and the man that greeted us was kind and took the time to fill us in on all the deets. Small place. 4 tables, 18 table seats. A dozen or so bar seats. A small fenced in patio to the right of the restaurant with 3 or so wooden picnic tables, but nicely shaded by the two story building next door. Fun upbeat jazzy music, not too loud, just perfect. It was warm inside...but it was warm outside, and the wall facing 10th street is all windows, so that's to be expected. Lots of good beers on draft. Craft soda, which I'm usually not a fan of but the MexiCola was yummy. The chips weren't plentiful, but the meat portion was satisfying and filled my tummy. Prices were really fair. They offer cookies from 4 Birds Bakery and that's always a fav of mine. It was a good place. The only thing for ME though, when it comes to BBQ, because there seems to be one on every corner, it has to have some OUTSTANDING feature in order for it to stand out amongst the rest. And this really didn't have that. If I lived in Woodruff Place, I could see walking here a couple times a month, or ordering carry out and bringing some home. But since it's a little bit more of a drive, I don't see us stopping by again real soon. There isn't anything *special* that I would crave and NEED to go. But def a great small business, a fun new place to try and if you are looking for a great small BBQ place, with big portions and decent prices? This is a must see

We are barbecue aficionados and in general Indy has been a pretty big disappointment for us for consistent, good smoked meat, sides and great sauce even from some of the classic places here. To be fair, we are amateur barbecuers and foodies ourselves, and we have friends in the business in Perkinsville, Indiana and Florida, Tennessee and Kansas City so we are super picky. Mike Gomez has created a real jewel down here by 10th and Rural. It seems like his Venezuelan roots have given him a special ability to prepare meats that adds character and some nice complexity to his barbecue. The restaurant is cool, with a fun atmosphere, great beer, coffee and other drinks and a good spectrum of accompaniments. From his beginnings choices we had his Pork Belly Nugs which he prepares so they are somewhat crunchy, served with a creamy picante sauce. They are off the hook. Crystal, my wife who loves smoked chicken got the chicken plate which she said was the best she has had, and that is saying somethin'. I had the ribs which are available for the weekend, and they were meaty, smoky and rich-the kind you don't want to put any sauce on. However, Mike's sauce rocks. We were stuffed, but got brisket to go which was superb with a nice layer of marble with an outer layer of crunchy brown perfection which blended well with the tender moist bark on the bottom. Finally, his greens and barbecue beans were excellent, demonstrating that he can deliver the whole culinary package to the benefit of his customers. We plan to come back for brunch which looks rockin' good, and have already been back for some morning coffee and latte which were excellent. If you love great barbecue in a nice, cool environment managed by friendly and talented people, don't miss it. Parking is handy, and is surrounded by nice construction and businesses. Don't let the general locale cause concern if you are coming from the lands of milk and honey in the burbs. BTW-Mayor Hogsett and others who should be paying attention, will you please get this fantastic business up and running with outdoor seating for the benefit of your hungry and thirsty citizens??

Visited tonight and had the ribs and the barbecue chicken quesadilla. Both were sublime. The ribs were smoky and tender, and the sauce was delicious. The chicken in the quesadilla was perfectly cooked and paired well with the Chipotle sauce. Loved it all

Super delicious food and great service. My husband had the brisket and a side of beans. I had the rib tips with a side of Spanish corn. Both meats were incredibly tender and delicate. The house pickles are better than grandma's (don't tell her! . We were there a little early and had fun conversation with the owner. I love that the meats are locally sourced and other products (chips and coffee are supplied from other local businesses. We will definitely be back.
