El Campestre

A dear friend of mine used Yelp (yes, Yelp!) to locate this place as we were headed toward Crawfordsville, IN. Being a group of 7, we were luckily seated quickly. The menu had several options of great dishes and I ended up opting for a chicken ranchero selection. Yum, yum. It was the perfect meal to energize us for the rest of our trip. Everyone at the table seemed to be impressed with what they had, so that was good. A satisfied group is a happy group. Though you feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere and El Campestre is within a strip of other stores and restaurants, it stands its ground.

El Campestre = The Rural One.

Thank you Yelp for this great find! Can't say that I've ever stopped to grab a bite to eat in Brownsburg but on this particular visit it was right on our path between Indy and Turkey Run State Park. After many o' many beef tacos, tamales, rice y beans (time and time again), I opted to go for the soup this time. I expected a tortilla soup of sorts but instead I found myself spoon deep in a bowl of chicken, rice, stewed tomatoes, fresh avocado chunks and onions. I can't quite put my finger on it but it's just not the same as tortilla soup - it's better!

Alright, alright, oh rural one - I'll be back to Brownsburg - you've won me over.

Great find while traveling cross country thanks to Yelp. If you want high quality food, great service, and authentic atmosphere without the high prices, this is the place to go.
