Taqueria Tlaxcalli

By far my favorite place to get mexican food. I can personally say I've had everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Everything is amazing from the chicken burrito, nachos, tacos de chorizo or any of the platters. Parking isn't the greatest here but I usually end up parking a block or two away and walk. Tlaxcali makes me feel like I'm back home in Los Angeles. Authentic and delicious. I usually drive 45 minutes to an hour with traffic but thats ok.

Best Mexican spot in the Bronx. Always hits, never disappoints. Food is delicious. The server is so friendly and attentive. Get the limeade.

Sooo good, such an impressive burrito. Best Mexican place in NYC. If I lived closer I’d be a regular.

If you want a more Authentic Mexican restaurant feel without the "Grass Wall" feel then this is the place. Staff is friendly, food comes out piping hot, and drinks are limited but is more Mexican leaning authentic (ex: Hibiscus margarita with tajin on the rim) They get A TON of mobile delivery orders so that says a lot on its own. If you're looking for the music playing atmosphere then this not it BUT if you want a more simple relax just wanna eat and conversate over great food then this is for you

The service was spectacular. Everyone who worked here appeared to love their job. Our waitress smiled the entire time and seemed so eager and excited to help us order. I ordered the traditional steak quesadilla and Birria tacos. Delicious and filling! If you’re looking for affordable homemade filling food, this is your place!

Just came here with my sister for the first time! She is always bragging about how good the food is, so I’m glad I was able to try their chicken burrito & Strawberry Limeade! So good! Highly recommend this place and you have to try the drinks! The service & the ladies were great! I’ll definitely have to come back! 😊

I just ordered a pancita de res and it wasn’t what I was expecting. I have order from this restaurant and the food has been amazing. But the pancita de res was not it. It has too much oil the caldo is black the meat look really dark idk maybe it was what they had left from a day ago it didn’t look healthy to eat.

One of the best authentic Mexican spots in the Bronx close to me. I had been told about this location numerous times and finally was able to stop in for lunch. I ordered (2) Tacos and a Burrito & trust me when I tell you that I had to take the Burrito home for Dinner. The portions served w/the Tacos were very filling and tasted very fresh. I can't wait to order more items from the menu and the staff were very attentive & nice.

customer service is Amazing Food is so delicious it's made as soon as you order it !! It's fresh I love it here !!

This is my new go to Mexican spot to order from! I ordered from Uber eats and have to comment on the service. I requested the vegetarian food be packaged separately me they did a lovely job. I'm sure the restaurant itself has wonderful service. I wish I could comment on the restaurant ambiance but am sure it's similar to being in Mexico The food was excellent. I wish I had it fresh. The chimichanga was so good! The veggies were fresh and they didn't just stuff it with mushrooms. It was filled with peppers, onions, corn, cilantro and zucchini. Honestly it was hard not to consume it within minutes. Also there was a large quantity and good bang for your buck. Will try to visit in person!

My chimichanga was delicious - crispy golden exterior, full of a nice variety of veggies, beans, and cheese. The salsas on top were also really tasty, with a tiny amount of heat from the orange chipotle one. This is also maybe the only Mexican restaurant I've been to in the city that does complimentary chips and salsa - the chips are definitely made fresh. My meal was about $16, which was totally worth it.

My coworkers and I order from here all the time. This time we decided to visit the restaurant; there's plenty of seating inside with lovely decor and a welcoming staff. The food is consistently delicious. I usually go for the carnitas tacos but this time I decided to try the taco árabes. I am so glad I did, they served them with grilled scallions and they were a great compliment to the tacos. MUST get the guac, and some ice cold coronas if that's your thing.

Hands down this is the Best taqueria I've come across in the Bronx. The chicken tostadas were BOMB! Super authentic and flavorful. I Always get a side of the encebollitas and those were also really good but a bit pricey for a side of onion. I'm So glad I found this gem.

Our goal for 2025 was to try local favorites in every borough and this was our pick for our friday nite date nite! Let me just say it did not disappoint. From the colorful aesthetic, the welcoming service and amazing food that was incredibly tasty! We ordered the fresh guacamole (spicy) and they also gave us salsa and chips which was delicious! The guacamole definitely had a kick to it from the jalapeño. For our main dish we got the chicken, asada & birria tacos which were garnished with cilantro and onions. The meat was very tender and the flavors of each taco were distinct and full of flavor. Also ordered the chicken sopes which were also very good and I just loved how fresh everything tasted. We even got a side of rice and beans to share. This place is definitely a gem and I can see why it's local favorite. I might love my michelin star restaurant's but i'll trade that for this food anytime! If you're in the area definitely give them a try you won't be disappointed!

I love Taqueria Tlaxcalli & have frequented here before but I will say it's a hit or miss. For instance, I've had their burritos several times & they've always been great. However, I ordered the chicken quesadilla & honestly it was average at best & lacked flavor albeit the quality was still good. All in all, I will be sticking to my usual order from this place.

This place is the best! I visited on a Saturday for lunch after seeing recommendations online. And boy, this was authentic, tasty, and reasonably priced! Located in Little Bangladesh by a bunch of little markets, this was a bright, unassuming space that was nicely decorated for Easter. They started us off with some warm corn chips and salsa that tasted like it had come fresh straight from a tomato. The burrito had some fun tasting pineapple and was drenched in a flavorful sauce. The tacos (I tried steak and carnitas) were also good. You can pick from American Style or Mexican style---I chose mexican. The carnitas I thought were the better, more tender meat option. Food came quickly and people were nice--I'll be back!

Found this spot in an article claiming it is one of the best burritos in the country(agreed). We took a long train ride and were greeted by the amazing staff and got a comfy seat in the AC. Classic tree of flavorful salsas that reminded me of CDMX. The chipotle salsa was my fave! Usually a good sign of what's to come. The chicken tostada was light and delicious! The star of the show was the steak burrito! Wow! I'm not usually a wet burrito fan but when it's done this well, it's worth the trek out to the Bronx. See yall next time!

Ordered take out and got myself the bistec torta i got to say that it's probably one o the best tortas i had for delivery everything is well seasoned and on point and the service was great they even put everything i asked for like pickled jalapeños instead of chipotle. i haven't been in the restaurant since i ordered food but i will definitely do it again 10/10 A+

Amazing authentic food. It's very hard when you live in LA. Best place in NY so far. Taste as real food and have specialties from Mexico there

I went in for take out order today of barbacoa d chivo with a consomé priced at $27, food was horrible not one bit of taste don't waste your money here also bought 3 chorizo tacos so bland and dry 1 tongue and 1 pastor tacos same bland and dry do not recommend at all $6 tacos expected a little more flavor at least no entiendo como pueden ver restaurantes así de verían se rarlos total una basura

Food hella expensive for no reason and portions are ass! All these extras for no reason! Definitely not coming back!

The BEST HUEVOS RANCHEROS that I have in my life .oh my gosh, what can I say so delicious!!!! staff are friendly and place is clean! definitely next time I will try something else from the menu.

One of the best burritos in NYC. Filling, flavorful, and perfectly cooked meat. The warm service and the immaculate guac are icing on the cake.

This place is amazing the food is delicious. We have our favorite dishes the nachos with chicken , shrimp or vegetarian opinions. Tostada, tacos, sopes, tortas, and enchiladas verdes So many' good dishes. The lemonade made to order is very refreshing. If in the area it's a place to try if ur far please make it down here to try. Service is great inviting

This is hands-down some of the best and most authentic Mexican food I have ever had on the East coast, that reminded me fondly of the tacos of Los Angeles! This is a small family run, hole in the wall restaurant in Little Bangladesh in the Bronx. The service was absolutely wonderful and the waiters are very kind and welcoming. We got the steak sopes, Al pastor and carnitas tacos and the enchiladas with mole, and I cannot say enough good things. Each bite was incredibly flavorful! Even the home- made salsas that they serve with the food were so thoughtfully made and absolutely delicious!!

I ordered a burrito with Al Pastor (spicy pork with pineapple) in Chimichanga style (extra $2.50). It was simply delicious. There were small chunks of pineapple that was refreshing. They drizzled two kind of sauces over the fried exterior that added a nice creaminess. FYI - the restroom was very clean! Also, want to give a shout-out to the well designed awning. The background is black with the restaurant's name in big white font. It's located towards the corner of a very busy street so by having a simple yet obvious sign helped a lot in finding it.

The shrimp taco is my favorite! Pair it with the spicy quac and chips and u bae yourself a meal for now and a snack for later. The place is small but intimate and is hardly ever empty. The neighborhood loves this place and the love is well deserved. I can't wait for them to come back from their holiday vacay. I know exactly what I'm ordering! Lol

This restaurant has the best tacos in the Bronx. The restaurant stays open late which allows you to get off work and come and get an amazing taco. The staff is very nice and are quick to get you your food.

The food here is always hot and fresh- arguably one of the best Mexican spots in the NYC area. Only complaint I have is that their "spicy" option isn't truly spicy but that's nothing that some Cholula won't fix!

GEM of a place and it's here to stay. Clean AUTHENTIC and absolutely one of the best Mexican places around. Way better than EP Iykyk. I had their guacamole with chips which came in an authentic molcajecte (stone pot) and flautas or aka dorados. Yum! The salsa on the table was amazing too. 11/10.

Two words: STEAK TORTAS!! For the longest I would order steak or shrimp tacos until I tried the STEAK TORTAS! Game changer and the price is right! The ladies are the sweetest and will definitely remember you! To the guys on the grill, you kill it every damn time! Oh, and try the horchata! YUM! Lucky me to have this place in my neighborhood!

This is the Mexican food we compare all other Mexican food to. We lived up in Park chester for five years and we loved it, especially this gem of a restaurant. Anything you can get here will be amazing, and I love their pickled onions. Their salsa is also top notch.

I've never joined here personally I always go for pick up and takeout and the food is exceptional SUPER authentic Tex-Mex. The burrito probably one of the best I've ever had and enough to feed too if you're not very hungry. Try all their juices as well.

After learning about this place years ago, my husband and I finally got to try it out. The food was absolutely delicious, our server was friendly and attentive, the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. We had a feast and a good time. Guacamole- was yummy, creamy and paired well with the warm tortilla chips. Simple, but lots of flavor. Drinks - We got strawberry and cucumber mint limeades. Super refreshing and a sweet treat. Burritos - My husband got the chicken and I got the veggie. Both were phenomenal. I loved the sauces drizzled on top. Everything was seasoned well and the flavors really popped. The portions are huge, so we got to take half of our burritos home and enjoy them later. They reheated well! Plantains - Unfortunately, this is the one thing I wouldn't order again. The portion size was great and I loved how much garlic they sprinkled on top, but they were over-fried and very hard. Tres Leches Cake - So, so delicious. One of the best I've ever had! Creamy, sweet and indulgent. If you are in the neighborhood, definitely stop in and get some grub!

I called ahead to have food ready for pick up. They told me when it would be ready and it was ready on time. The service was friendly and warm. The food absolutely delicious and done exactly as I asked! The place is clean. What more can you ask.

This is my favorite burrito spot. I've been here a dozen times and come with family and friends and it's always a hit. They serve fresh salsa and chips with every order with are delicious to munch on and the salsa is addictive. My go to is the shrimp burrito and it's always so flavorful and packed with the rice beans and shrimp. The service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is cute with very traditional decor and they play Spanish music so it really takes you away to a different place. It's good for small celebrations and even quick lunch. The flan is delicious and so is the tamarind drink.

steak quesadillas and steak tostadas are absolutely fire. the guac is fresh and perfect Amazing Mexican food and i never make reviews but damn

Hidden gem tucked away between some unique stores. Very affordable food made with lots of love. I loved my steak burrito, my friend loved the steak taco. They just need a margaritas machine for a full 5 stars! Would return if I was in the area.

Back here again ... nice little restaurant ... enjoyed the food as much as the previous time we were here. Service was attentive. Nacho's were full of flavor & prepared as requested. This time we had chicken fajitas, chicken burrito - which was very huge & tasty too, chicken enchiladas. This little place makes really good Mexican food. Didn't have much choices for dessert so we decided to try their Mexican hot chocolate. Sorry, but we didn't like it at all. Not ordering it again ... lol.

Service was fast- food was great! Loved the Burrito with Carnitas, Chicken Tacos, Rice & Black beans! The Guacamole was excellent but the small was super tiny for 5.00- my only issue was it should have been a bit larger. Last but not least, that Tres Leches cake was best I've had. I'm just thinking about it now & can't wait for it to open tomorrow - I'm getting that Tres Leches & Burrito!

EASILY the most flavorful burrito I've ever had! The meats are seasoned to absolute perfection, and they are consistent every time we order from a delivery service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I really love this family run restaurant! We were seated very quickly and there were so many options. I ordered a few different kinds of tacos and everything was delicious. This is one of the only places that reminds me of California tacos, and the price is very affordable for NYC!

What gem in the heart of the boogie down the Bronx. Unfortunately, the Bronx gets a bad rap, but im here to say "NO MORE" instead; let's praise this hole in a joint called Taqueria Tlaxcalli. It is the taste of Mexico in the Bronx and boy, is it good. The flavors of tacos, rice, and beans remind me of the many Mexican restaurants in Cali. This place is a must-go in the Bronx off of Castlehill Ave. You walk right into Bangladesh town, but you can't miss this place at all. I would've given this place 5-stars, but the wait time for pick-up was outstanding. I ordered at 8:30 pm and was told to come back in half an hour; that was the wrong move, I didn't get my order until 10 pm, but I will say the food was hot and tasted great. I had shrimp fajitas with all the fixings. Yummy! I would try this place again, but I would order hungry!

10/5 stars! Food was DELICIOUS! 2 of my kids now love Guacamole because the one here is sooo good, we had to order 2 larges! Staff was amazing and so friendly & welcoming. Very kind to allow for taste tests. I really hope to come back next time we are in the area. The best Mexican food with the best people ever! Enjoy the pics as we enjoyed the delicious dinner.

One of the best burritos I ever had! The spicy pork and the carnitas were both perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The combination of sauces that the burrito is beautifully topped with is delicious. And the service is great!

This is an excellent Mexican restaurant Servise is amazing, the waiters is so kind and professional. Food is fresh and super authentic tasty!!! Nice environment music not too loud We are coming from Manhattan to this place often! Highly recommended!

Third time here, and about time for a praise filled review. The food here is ridiculously good. They start you off with nice crunchy chips and a really fresh salsa. Don't eat those. You want to save yourself for the main event. Actually, eat them anyway because they are so good. This time we had the gorditas to start- nice and thick, filled with juicy pork, and the corn pockets are just a little chewy - super good. Comes with a sauce filled with super smoky chipotle peppers on the side. Don't pass on that. Then I got the birria con consomé, and my husband got chilaquiles con salsa verde. The plate sizes are immense. You think "2 tacos? That's not much..." but oh it is. The meat is rich and well seasoned. I've asked in Spanish a few times and when I ask if it's goat or beef, the ladies just smile and say yes. Doesn't matter. It's like the tender, fatty part of the brisket, sauced with that pasillo and heaven consomé. The chilaquiles are also excellent, and come with enormous helpings of black refried beans and rice. Didn't get to try it because my husband chows down on that hard. Guessing it was great. Finally, they have a limeade, which is freshly made to order with a little crushed ice, and it's like a key lime pie Slurpee. Tart and refreshing, especially with the rich fat in the birria. Perfect combo. I am so happy. And full. Never tried the desserts because I'll explode.

Authentic Mexican in the bronx and has zagat and michelin reviews. My family love it!!

I used to live in the Bronx and ordered from here all the time. I now live in NJ and will happily take the trip to the Bronx to get some good food. Prices are reasonable and food will fill you up. I will make the trip EVERY TIME to satisfy my craving

I'm usually up for seafood Tacos anytime. But after my crown appointment at the dentist, the last thing I wanted to do was eat. Instead, I picked up 3 beef tacos and an Horchata for my mom plus Tamarind juice for me. Not far from the 6 train line, Tlaxcalli stands out in Muslim-heavy Parkchester area. Style here is alive and kicking- with an indie feel, Mexican wall art and there's not even a sombrero in sight! Tlaxcalli has a range of options from seafood items, beef, lengua, chicken, pork, antojitos, flautas plus so much more. I'm not sure if fresh tortillas are pumped out daily- but my Mom liked her beef tacos on double-ply corn tortillas. Even while I waited for my takeout order, hospitality was all there. I was caught off guard by the Chill-esque music and thought it was a cool move for a Mexican restaurant. My mom liked her tacos, their ventilation is working fine because I didn't smell like food, the place is dressed to thrill and therefore, I look forward to have their seafood tacos next time.

The food was amazing. Probably the best Mexican food I've had in a while. Recently moved to CT from Cali and have been craving good Mexican food. The burrito was hefty, the presentation was awesome! The torta had so much flavor, the bread was perfectly buttered. The staff were friendly and they were open late which was super convenient on my drive back to CT. Will definitely be coming back.

first time dining in which far surpassed my review of takeout a year ago. unassuming place with amazing tacos and friendly attentive staff. 10/10 mushroom quesadilla and tacos- we had salted beef, birria, fish, al pastor, carnitas, and tinga. best were al pastor and carnitas imo. I got the goat consome and my partner got mole. the mole was really intense, too much for me- heavy clove. the goat soup was fine but I wouldn't get again. we got tres leche to go which is our favorite dessert, but this one wasn't that great either and had peaches IN the cake which we didn't know upon ordering. chips are complimentary, which is awesome. prices are fair. ($4/ most tacos, soem $5) also they have alcohol and various agua frescas- but no drink menu, so I wasn't sure what to order and therefore stuck with water. I really want to go back and crush more tacos in the future!

I came here yesterday for dinner and this place is so delicious. I would say Keith Lee knows his food. I ate a lot of food and I think it was fairly priced and the portions were big. I ordered the guacamole and that was good. They give the table chips and salsa which was quite delicious the chips were fresh and the salsa was too. I love when the chips are fresh because that is not very common anymore. I ordered the fajitas and the birria tacos with a strawberry limeade. My niece ordered horchata and three tacos. I did not finish all my food because I was really full. I got full on the delicious chips. The birria tacos were good. The fajitas were also very delicious and had a good amount of protein. The shrimps in the fajita order were a good size. The order came with tortillas and rice and beans. I had a taste of my nieces tacos and they were quite delicious. The tacos had a lot of meat in them and were very full. The horchata was very good and we ordered two to go. We also ordered the flan but that was not very good; I think they burned the sugar a bit. The service was excellent the person her name was Lulo and she was very friendly and patient. She gave us suggestions and would ask us how our meal was. The place is nice their decorations gave the restaurant a homemade ambiance and the bathroom had a nice sink. I really enjoyed this place and the food was delicious. It was definitely worth the trip. I will be back.

Good tacos, served Mexican style. A bit bigger than the ones I'm used to in Los Angeles, so two are enough to make a meal from. We tried steak and carnitas. Carnitas was the better of the two. Staff was friendly. Will visit again.

Her for birthday lunch, can't go wrong haven't been here in a minute but food is great. Service was fast and efficient. Not packed at all so it was nice to enjoy my company and celebrate my birthday.

3.5 stars I always passed by this place while grocery shopping and gave it go today (take out). I ordered 4 tacos Mexican style (steak, beef tongue, tripe and shrimp) which I liked the tripe the best out of the 4, the shrimp was nice and sweet however I felt they all were lacking flavor. The salsas that accompanied the tacos were spot one! The quesadillas were a different style than what you normally get but they were a hit. The service was super nice and friendly and everything was packaged nice and neatly. Next time I totally want to try their horchata and burrito.

Best in the neighborhood maybe all of NYC. The tacos are amazing well seasoned. The prices are affordable. The guac and chips are addictive. The service is wonderful. And the quesadillas
