Tlaxcalli - Honolulu

This was the best traditional Mexican food experience I've had in 15 years. The birria was authentically prepared, the beans were outstanding, and you could truly feel the pride and love the chef put into his dishes. Absolutely amazing!!!

I've never let another diner's choice of clothing, whether it's shorts or sleeveless shirts, ruin my dining experience. The snobbery displayed here is quite off-putting. A truly quality experience is determined by how you treat others, and this place could be excellent if they shifted their focus away from the superficial.

Food was so amazing I didn't even take pictures or come up for air. Ever since going to TX it really changed my palette for Mexican food, and nothing could compare until Tlaxcalli. Coming back home, I realized Hawaii's representation of Mexican cuisine is sad and a far cry from authenticity. But this place.....chef's kiss. The only place on the island you can get tacos dorados and lamb barbacoa. We also had the birria, and the churro bread pudding. Everything was so delicious and perfect my mouth is salivating just thinking about it. Like a heathen, I could have drank the consommé, pork fat and all! Will, our server/waiter/all of the above was also really awesome!

If you like Mexican food and to dine in a good ambiance, this is the place for you! Definitely recommend the drinks, as they have a nice variety of original cocktails. Food quality and presentation was amazing, Will our server was very knowledgeable and gave some solid recommendations. Have the bread pudding for dessert, you will not regret it!Their outdoor patio has a relaxing ambiance and you can dine while enjoying your company because there is no loud music, which is a big plus.

Hands down the best Mexican food I have had outside of Mexico. For reference, I grew up in LA and have family in Mexico. Highly recommended friendly service too!Dietary restrictions: Almost everything is gluten free
