We are
changing the way Mexican food is presented in Hawaii, by offering
the most traditional regional dishes made with the highest quality
ingredients to transport our customers to a rural kitchen in Mexico
or the beaches and fishing villages of Sinaloa.
Tlaxcalli is not a tired "concept", we are the way that Mexican food
is supposed to be prepared and served, Our focus is in our homemade
tortillas that are the base for all the dishes in Mexican cooking.
Our menu feels like home, we are not reinventing the wheel, we simply want to share the memories of
our childhood through our food.
We invite you to come dine WITH US and enjoy our lively atmosphere
either inside or in our back patio.
These are some of our more popular dishes, always prepared fresh with high quality ingredients.
Steamed Big Island Ali'i Mushrooms smothered in our housemade mole.
AKA Pokeviche
Local caught Ahi cubes, tomatoes, sliced onions mixed with citrus sauce, topped with Salsa Macha
Yucatan Style pork shoulder marinated in achiote, spices and citrus, wrapped in banana leaves and served with pickled red onions
Tender oxtails braised in a Chile Pasilla sauce
Pork Rib Tips simmered in a Tomatillo, Jalapeño sauce. Served with beans and tortillas
3 crispy fried tacos filled with shrimp and potatoes and smothered with salsa fresca and avocado sauce
Most of our spices and chiles are flown from Los Angeles since we can't find them here. We do that to make sure the food tastes fresh and rich.
Our fish and seafood is acquired locally, teaming up with some small scale distributors and independent fishmongers allows us to provide our customers with the freshest items available.
Vegetables?!?!?! We don't eat no stinking vegetables...
Almost all of the vegetables we use in traditional Mexican cooking are not found in Hawaii, We mostly substitute with local vegetables similar to what
is traditionally used.
Local beef and pork is what we use the most, we try to avoid using chicken since it has a history of maltreatment and enhanced growth in factory farms.
Stay informed of all the new things coming to Tlaxcalli!!
