    REAL Mexican food
    Carlos Q.

    Great food reall Mexican food this if you want real Mexican food and culture must come there :. If you want American Mexican style food keep going those gringos Mexican restaurants and pay high price .... must try this place is going change the name and remodeling soon but still same person and food .... must try !!! No doubt it about it

    Authentic Mexican cuisine. We tried a few of the tacos and tamales over a few visits and all were good including carnitas (pork) and lengua (tongue). They do serve special soups on the weekends, including the shrimp soup which was pretty good. If you eat in the meals come with pre-made chips and salsa but neither were all that good. In addition to the convenient take out window they have a rather large dining room and bar area with television sets. I kind of prefer doing take-out though because the restaurant is enormous, a bit drabby and outdated, and invariably empty. It's much better than the Mexican place across the street but a notch below Dona Rosa up the street (where they seem to make their own chips and serve them with warm bean dip). The employees seem friendly though and it's very reasonably priced.

What a way to begin--and most restaurants don't give any complimentary intro to a visiting guest. And two of our lip-smacking dishes to order are: 1) Burrito Azteca with chicken and/or steak pieces; and 2) Quesadilla Supreme. Drink-wise, Mexican-oriented restaurants--thankfully, unlike others--tend to offer not just a margarita, but one with a frozen ground-ice mixture (sort of a sophisticated slurpy, but better), which adds to the pleasure of the drink; very delicious. But this night (Valentine's Day) they had a special guest (as they sometimes do) who was a superb violinist with a beautiful voice and a very pleasant personality. You can look her up via your computer if you want to get her itinerary to experience the pleasure of her musical company, wherever: ESMERALDA LA COR. What a mesmerizing and pleasurable dining night we had! Only at La Tonalteca!

After ordering a few tacos, I regret not ordering the broth that everyone else seemed to have ordered. Regardless, the tacos were divine.

Would definitely be back.

I am a big huaraches fan, and I tried this in four different restaurants in a couple of months. Each time I enter every restaurant I look around and leave if it is dirty. This restaurant was clean. I ordered the carnitas (roasted pork) huaraches. The pork was juicy, and the toppings fresh. This nice sized portion kept me full all day. I did not see a Diet Coke in the drink refrigerator. I got a bottled water (better for me). The gentleman behind the counter and the register lady were very friendly. Thank goodness I took Spanish in high school, because I use it at Mexican restaurants. I I love neighborhood Mexican joints because their food is cheaper, and is highly better quality than the most of the other restaurants. I will add this place on my lunch list!
