Description/highlights:
“If the little lavender house at 2830 E. Washington St. catches your eye, do yourself a favor and stop in. Because inside you’ll find tamales and other Mexican fare made a little more healthful by Tlaolli owner Carlos Hutchinson…[he] has a deft hand with spices, and credits his daughter the chef with helping him hone his cooking skills. He’ll tell you that his food is simply home-style fare and that he wants you to feel at home in his little tamale shop. And that’s exactly why we liked it.” – The Indianapolis Star
Tlaolli started as a small, 400 square foot walk-up shop on Washington Street in 2013 and has grown to be one of Indianapolis’ gems with people coming from all around the City and even State to try the cuisine. Tlaolli has been named best Mexican food in Indianapolis, in the State by Yelp and even has its own day as, in 2019, Mayor Hogsett declared December 3rd Tlaolli Day in the City of Indianapolis.
