Extremely delicious vegan Mexican food!! The hibiscus taco was the highlight but a few other items we tried weren't far behind. We devoured the vegan birria tacos, nonono tamale, tofu mushroom mole taco and rice. Had to go back up and order another hibiscus taco before we left because we're 45 min away and not sure when we'll make it back. Talking to the owner, Carlos, while we waited on our last taco was very enjoyable to hear his story about the place. Can't wait to go back!!

Great food! Love that they have vegan options that are just as tasty as full meat alternatives. Atmosphere is cozy and cute, food was made so fast.

Finally made it to Tlaolli and loved it. My husband and I both ordered the taco trio with a side of rice and beans. Pictured are the chicken mole, pork asado, and port carnitas tacos. All delicious, but the star was definitely the pork asado. The rice and beans were completely different than “refried beans” at most Mexican restaurants, and I loved it; meaty with great flavor. I would order that for a meal all by itself. The owner was very inviting, went over the menu with us, and provided great service.

I got to experience the greatest tacos I have ever had in Indy! The staff was so friendly, and I got to talk to the owner. He was also kind and humble. The meat was so tender it melted in my mouth. I cannot believe there were not more people there. If you do not go, then you are missing out on one of the greatest food experiences in the city!

I finally made it to this restaurant today and wow am I blown away!! First of all, the building is the prettiest shade of purple and is so cute. I told the owner I was new so he did a run down of the menu for me while I was deciding on what to get. Honestly, I wanted 1 of everything it all sounded delicious. I’m not vegan but I love eating vegan food so I tried the vegan birria tacos. I also got chips and salsa and a cheese and poblano tamale. I had asked for a box thinking there’s no way I could eat all of it myself but I ate EVERY BITE and feel so good and nourished. Sometimes you leave restaurant and feel stuffed and ready for a nap but I felt light and energized. The quality, taste, and portion size is perfect. Everything had so much flavor. Service was quick, there’s plenty of parking and places to sit, and they have a good sized menu with both regular and vegan options. I’m so excited to go back and try more of their menu. I’m telling you.... Please go visit this place. You will thank me later

We saw this restaurant on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and decided to give it a try late on a Thursday night. Since tamales were their featured dish, we went for something different. I ordered the Pork Asado, Chicken Chipotle, and Hibiscus Flower tacos. I have to say, the Hibiscus Flower taco was absolutely amazing—definitely one of the best vegan tacos I’ve had! The meat tacos were packed with flavor, generously sauced, and served between two warm corn tortillas. My husband and I devoured everything. Despite it being late and us staying until closing the owner and staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommend this place!
