    Drinks. The "Ay Mamacita" and the "Cempasúchil" cocktails. Neither is too sweet - dry, smooth, subtle flavors.

    Great, authentic new Latin American restaurant. This newer restaurant is very popular at the moment - reservations are a must, especially for parties bigger than two because most tables are smaller. The cocktails were extremely well made and beautifully presented. The mixed salsa appetizer (Salsas y Tostadas) is a must to try ~10 different house-made salsas. The taco plate (Tacos de Carnitas) was the standout entree but we enjoyed them all. The flan dessert was solid. Only downside was due to popularity it was quite loud and the music bass was turned up so loud it was irritating and difficult to hear. Next time we will ask for the quieter, "secret garden" seating outside in the rear. All employees were friendly and they even squeezed us in last minute without a reservation! Not cheap, but a great date night spot.

    We had a lovely dinner at Tlalli! They advertise to be a Latin American restaurant with emphasis on Indigenous ingredients and Afro-Caribbean influences. We started with a few excellent, flavorful cocktails. The rum in the punch took me straight to the Caribbean, with notes of coconut, pineapple, and hibiscus. My favorite cocktail was the Milpa Sour, with use of ancestral corn whisky where unique lines of corn are cultivated, soaked in an alkaline solution, unlocking deeper flavors. It tasted smoky and strong. For the starters, the tostadas and salsa provided a unique experience, coming with 9 different house salsas. It was fun to try each and try to understand what made them different. The ahi tostada was also fresh and delicious. Out of the mains, the oxtail tacos were the star of the show. If you want the best of their entrees, that might be the one for you. We also got the braised pork shoulder, which came with beans, rice, and tortillas, but overall it lacked the depth of flavor that the oxtail had. Overall I wish we had more tostadas and tortillas to take on the salsas, guac, and pork shoulder. Seemed we were always running out. It's clear the restaurant has put a lot of thought into the food it wants to serve and has a strong sense of identity. I think that's a big strength, making the experience special. I would say if you're local it's worth a visit. Revisiting the restaurant will probably be more for the social experience, and less for the food, as it's tough envisioning landing a reservation for few good cocktails and tacos when it's just you and the family.

    The food is decent. Being from Los Angeles and eating authentic Hispanic food most of my life....it's good. But the treatment was great towards us until the waitress asked us to leave...just as we were leaving. lol. Rather rude behavior to accommodate another reservation. Ashland area is kind of weird like that at many of their restaurants. Go figure. lol

    Top 5 meal I've had this year! Newer spot in Ashland that was actually a recommendation from friends in NY. They didn't properly prepare our dining party for just HOW good the food and beverages are. We had a connection with the owner, (friends of friends), and they were SO sweet and passionate about the cuisine. The drinks have something for everyone! The spirited and bold section was the booze forward section but I opted for the Milpa sour. A take on the whiskey sour with corn whiskey, it was very delicious! You gotta get the guac and you gotta try the tortillas. All gluten free, all house made, and utterly delicious. The owner was so nice and brought over some tortas to dip in all of the sauces - just my style. The sauces had so many different flavors and spice levels, and were fun to eat with the tortillas and to pour over my duck confit mole. The mole was delicious. It was so tasty with the perfectly crisped duck. The red tortillas served with it meant I could eat so much meat and sauce and I couldn't just licked the plate. Fantastic restaurant and will be back!

    I had Tacos de Nopales & Ceniza Y Oro. My friend had Tacos de Camaron & Flor Y Canto.

    Immediately walk into a vibrant & welcoming space! The customer service was great and they checked on us every so often. Food and drinks were delicious, even had chile & lime flavored crickets paired with our alcohol. They went together really well! I'll definitely be back to Tlalli.

    The carne asada burrito is packed with meat. Superior flavor, very juicy. Also had what I call…read moreempanadas. These remind me of the island empanadas. Meat, potato, veggies in a crisp red crust of happiness and joy. So incredible, worth the wait. Kind of wish it was a whole restaurant. Fingers crossed. (The empanada looking things are called Pastalitos)

    We go to Dazey's often and have seen this truck outside with at least a couple of costumers…read more Finally decided to check them out today. We ordered the asada gourmet tacos $10, asada burrito $10, and Combo 1 pork pupusa with fried plantains and rice & beans $5.50. My favorite was the pupusa. Soft, cheesy, and good flavor. The sides of salsa were sooo good with everything. Their tacos came with handmade tortillas and the "guacamole" was perfect. Again, add some of that salsa with it. Now, I don't typically like my asada burritos with beans, so I asked if it could be made without it. They said the beans were mixed with the rice. I decided to just try it in the burrito. The rice & beans was soooo good, even on its own! Black beans is definitely the way to go. I was also surprised that I liked the fried plantains. I've tried a it a couple times in other places in the past, even a few spots in Miami. However, I was never really fond of them. It's still not something I would regularly order if it wasn't included as a side, but this place was the best I've ever had. This food truck is not pretentious and you get a lot of food for your money. Go check them out.
