La Consentida, like everything else in Delaware, is located in a strip mall. It's actually pretty easy to find because it's near the Wawa with the lowest gas prices in the state. It's where 12 lanes briefly turn to 14 so that commuters from I-95 need not encounter grass or any trace of the natural world. Despite the oppressive atmosphere of concrete and auto fumes outside (Welcome to the First State!), La Consentida is a clean and welcoming carniceria and taqueria. There's a pretty reasonable selection of Mexican groceries, as well. The meat looked nice and fresh and there was an enormous display of chicarrones up front.
It's bizarre to have found this place in Delaware. The Wilmington paper's readers listed a chain restaurant that serves processed cheese product with its nachos as the best Mexican restaurant in the state. While newspaper reviews are never trustworthy, that confidence in La Tonalteca tells you something about the state's tastebuds.
I just had a taco al pastor, but the meat was very well seasoned. It's always nice to have radishes or pineapple, but I can't complain, given the meat quality. The tortillas were nicely charred and were pleasantly oily. Two bucks and two more for lima beans with chile.
