Restaurants loosely affiliated with Mexico City are everywhere these days, but Taqueria Tlaxcalli, in Parkchester’s Little Bangladesh, has been channeling CDMX since 2006. As you nibble free chips and salsa, and sip a fresh strawberry limeade as bright as the paper cut-outs overhead, you can smell chorizo sizzling in the long open kitchen, and hear avocados being smashed for guacamole. The family who runs Tlaxcalli is originally from Mexico City and Honduras, but the most popular dish here is from a little closer to home: their very good burritos. Roughly the size of a kitten, the burritos are wrapped neatly enough that they fry up easily into chimichangas, yet still feel stuffed to bursting (like kittens who ate too much kibble). We once saw a group of five people celebrate a birthday lunch with one burrito each, which is a thoroughly charming idea, even if most people at Tlaxcalli are just here for a quick meal.
