Is this E. Washington or W. Washington St.? It might be nice to have more specific locations of your photos or some sort of geo tagging available. Just a suggestion.
I've eaten at La Posada. It's decent, and pretty cheap. It almost does seem like a fast food place. You order at a counter and then pick your food up when it's ready.
Vaquero Chicano, a little farther down the street, is really good. I'm not sure if it's still open, though. There's also a place on the east side called La Villa that is great. It's in an old Village Pantry. Gotta love it.
You might think from all the hispanic businesses on Washington St. between Belmont and Warman that this area is all Hispanic but it's at least as much poor white as Hispanic. I needed some limes for margaritas so I went into a tienda on the south side, the cashier didn't speak any English so she just waved me on past without ringing it up. Limas gratis, sweeet.
Indianapolis, though it has a growing hispanic population actually has less hispanics than many US cities. I don't know if it is an economic, demographic, or cultural thing. I have noticed a build up of hispanic businesses a long a multiple of main roads.
Indianapolis has one of the fastest growing Latino populations of any major city in the U.S. According to researchers at the Center for Urban Policy and Environment, Latinos are the fastest growing population group in Indianapolis. A study they conducted showed that the Latino population exploded from 13,500 to 47,000 between 1999 and 2004. Some argue that even this number is probably much lower than reality. Indianapolis, as a percentage of the whole population, as fairly large number of Latino residents.
Isn't there a Taco Bell on the near corner across from the grocery? Sometime 10+ years ago I noted that was Indy's spanish town. Now the entire stretch is hispanic businesses. Indy's hispanic poplulation has really grown and is more significant than most people think.

Great photos though!
W. Washington & Belmont
I used to go to high school on the other side of that Keller & Keller billboard, I believe....
Is the Jacks Pizza / La Posada place like one of those Pizza Hut / Taco Bell deals? ;-)

I'd like to try out a few of these places and see if there are any that are actually really good.
BTW: This is directly across the street from Patty's Showclub, which I posted before.
