From the Heart of Mexico to the Heart of Springfield: Tlalli Tacos Delivers Flavor, Family, and Feel-Good Vibes

When Jacinto, the proud owner of Tlalli Tacos & Mexican Catering, heard about the exclusive 555 Stand Out Truck® Deal, he didn’t hesitate. He knew that sharing the flavors of his heritage was more than just a business—it was a mission. Not only did he sign up his Springfield gem, Tlalli Tacos, but he immediately included his second location, Del Rey Taqueria, doubling down on his commitment to delivering joy, one plate at a time.
As one of only five local businesses advertising in this special campaign, Tlalli’s vibrant cuisine and warm hospitality are now getting the spotlight they deserve—rolling through neighborhoods and lighting up tastebuds with every Stand Out Truck® ad impression.
But let’s be clear: Tlalli didn’t need a truck to prove it was special. Just ask the people.
🌽 What’s in a Name? A Whole Lot of Heart.
Tlalli ("t-lah-lee") is a Nahuatl word meaning “Earth” or “Soil”—and in ancient Aztec mythology, Tlalli is the Goddess of Agriculture and Fertility. The name was chosen with intention, honoring the idea that fresh ingredients are a gift from the earth, and everything served at Tlalli is a celebration of that gift.
And the heart doesn’t stop at the name. Here’s a fun fact: the restaurant’s logo was inspired by a real photograph that Junior, Jacinto’s son, took of his grandmother. That photo was later transformed into the illustrated logo you see today—bringing generations of love and tradition into every design element of the brand.
🌮 Where 5-Star Flavor Meets 5-Star Feels
Locals and visitors alike can’t stop raving about the authentic Mexican experience they discover at Tlalli. The reviews read like love letters:
“Absolutely amazing! So fresh and delicious... and VEGAN tacos too!” —Sam G.
“Probably the best Mexican restaurant in Hampden. Very good atmosphere. Excellent service and very tasty and abundant food.” —Antotabora
“The birria burrito is a handful, the Mexican street corn was absolutely wonderful.” —Samuel J.
“Live Mariachi, incredible drinks like the passion fruit mojito, and warm service... this is our new favorite spot!” —Carlos V.
And who could forget the legendary Queso Fundido? “Just trust me when I say try it,” wrote one enthusiastic diner. The passion for food at Tlalli is matched only by the passion of its customers.
🍹 More Than a Meal—It’s a Moment
Inside Tlalli, you’ll find more than just delicious food. You’ll find live music, laughter, and a space that transforms from bright and festive to intimate and romantic—all in one night. It’s a rare gem where families gather, couples celebrate, and friends toast to good times and great tacos.
Angela M. praised the horchata and caldo de camarones (a HUGE bowl filled with at least 10 large shrimp!), while April C. was drawn in by camarones al coco and stayed for the “mojito on point.” And for those looking for something new? The Korean-inspired burrito continues to surprise and delight.
🧑🍳 From the Kitchen to Your Event—Catering That Brings Everyone to the Table
Whether it's a birthday, graduation, wedding, or company event, Tlalli Tacos brings the same made-from-scratch magic straight to you.

With attentive service, customizable menus, and that same home-cooked heart, Tlalli doesn’t just cater food—they cater experiences. Because every celebration deserves flavor, culture, and joy.
🎉 Built on Passion, Powered by Community
Jacinto and his team aren’t just serving food—they’re building community. Every plate is infused with tradition, every drink crafted with care, and every visit treated like a homecoming. It's no wonder that even diners from California and L.A. have said Tlalli rivals the best they've had on the West Coast.
