    We came back to visit Guadalajara, and made a stop here again. We came last year and could not wait to come back. My family of 4 was satisfied with a regular size tomate special, and a small arrachera plate that comes with tortillas. Not like this place needs more people, there's always a wait and a line around the corner. It's Loud but really fun. Everyone was very attentive. A must stop.

    La Tomate is a very highly rated taqueria on average sites so we went to check it out. Tip 1: Use parking garage / lot as there is no parking. If you do the parking garage / lot, you just back into your space Tip 2: Get here early if possible. It fills up quickly. Tip 3: If you're not a fan of Latin Hop Hop, Trip, or Reggaeton, then decide to go elsewhere as they have two very large TVs blasting the music videos non-stop. Tip 4: if you're a vegetarian, you're kinda in luck - sorta of. Be aware. They do have a vegetarian dish but it's cooked on a shared contact flat grill with all the meats. La Tomate lets you choose your dish. It could be tacos al pastor or a plate of mixed meats with cheese. The prices are affordable especially for Guadalajara. I don't get the cheese. It should be on the side but all of their mixed meats have cheese on top. The salsas are Facking good. Everyone single one. The homemade tortillas are legit. The lady that is slinging them in her station is a superhero The guacamole is also tremendous. I love that everyone is in uniform and shirts are tucked in and professional looking. The service was very attentive. Thank you Marco So, would I go back ??? Yes, but I would just order guacamole and a ton of tortillas and make guacamole and salsa tacos and I would request to sit away from the TVs.

    This is one of my cousin's favorite restaurants and I can see why. This place is super popular. The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. They are known for their al pastor tacos. We liked the steak ones. The drinks were great and the tortillas are handmade. All the salsas they served were very good. It's a very loud and upbeat place. They did have a huge line but they worked very quickly to accommodate a us. The neighbor is very happening.

    Fast service and great customer service. Emmanuel took good care of us as a party of 14. Food was delicious and came in at a good time. Lively atmosphere. Would recommend and come again :)

    Wow! This place has one of best tacos I've had, maybe it was after a night of drinking but by far great taste. It's located in a busy hip area in Chapultepec in Jalisco. We came to try it out since I had heard the tacos al pastor were great and full of flavor. The place was very busy but the waiters/ waitress were very quick to take our order and actually suggested several options for us. We went with the tomate special which includes pastor asado,bacon, pineapple, bell peppers, onions, avocado, and cheese, we went for the large one which is enough for two 21.49 and two lemonades for $ 2.49, also comes with a lot of condiments to add to the food. They also serve you unlimited amount of tortillas which were soft and delicious. The place is in an open air, hype area where you will meet lots of locals. Staff was attentive at all times and quick considering the flow of customers. This place delivers on bold flavors and excellent drinks and very welcoming. Whenever in the area I suggest you give them a try you will not be disappointed.

    Locals recommended this spot for dinner, and when we arrived, there was a huge line. We decided to wait and it was worth it! Great ambiance, the food was very good ,the meat was delicious, the drinks were a great bonus and the service was very friendly.

    Fabulous. I arrived for a late lunch and was able to be seated immediately although the place was packed! Service was quick - I ordered a corona, 3 tacos al pastor, and a side of cebollas. The cebollas were good and the tacos were jam packed with meat. They have both corn and flour tacos which I always appreciate. I did like the open-air feel, but there were some flies and bees buzzing around as a result. One drowned in my salsa as a matter of fact. Not much Tomate can do about it though. Docking a star because I didn't particularly love any of the salsas and the prices are a bit high (35 pesos a taco) but imo the quality justifies it. Just not the cheapest lunch around. Bathrooms were clean and they take credit card.

    Flan

    Asada, arrachera, and al pastor tacos were good although I'm not a big fan of dressing my own tacos. They were still delicious. The queso fundido with chorizo and mushroom was also a great dish. I loved the passion fruit and orange agua and for dessert the flan. Flan was decent I'd give it a 4/5 while everything else 5/5. Recommend.

    Our Uber driver told us we HAD to go to Chapultepec because that was where all the night life was. We were just interested in the best tacos in Guadalajara. Turns out the best tacos are at La Tomate and it's on Chapultepec! Win Win. When I say the best tacos, I dont say it lightly. They serve you all the ingredients and sauces and tortillas separately. You get way more food this way rather than little tortillas already filled. And you can customize your taco and it is much easier to share. Which by the way, you can completely do with just one order. The three of us each ordered something and we had enough to stuff our faces and enough to enjoy the next day with some fried eggs. So yummy. They dont make a list and dont take reservations. You get in line which moves surprisingly quickly. No one jumps the line and everything is super organized. The service is amazing!! It's quick, professional, polite and attentive. They gave us extra tortillas with our left overs. I agree with our Uber driver. You HAVE to go to Chapultepec and you have to go to La Tomate

    Tacos were average. Meat over cooked and the cheese was cold by the time we got the food. Flavor for el pastor was lacking.

    So far this has been the best taco spot in Jalisco. They open at 1:30 and there was already a line…read morewhen we arrived at 1:20. They promptly let us in at 1:30, and were fully staffed waiting for the lunch crowd. You seat yourself and they immediately bring out the 4 different house salsas and a bowl of limes. Love that! There's a menu on the wall or you can scan a QR code at the table. Here's the tacos we ordered: Al pastor- best one; between my husband and I, we ate 10 of these. Costilla- husband rated 7/10 Carnaza- soft and tender Lengua- tender, not chewy, husband rated it 10/10 Dorados- crunchy tortilla with carne molido inside, and topped with carne asada..this was my 2nd favorite. Asada- tender tiny cuts of meat. Total- 10/10 we are already planning on coming back before we leave! Wait staff was attentive and the food came out quickly!

    Ive seen this place on youtube and the person I watch said they had the best tacos he's ever eaten…read more And this guy travels the world. So our first night in GDL we took an Uber here. Got there around 8pm and we sat immediately. Place was full but a table for two was open. We sat down and they took our order. I ordered 3 pastor tacos and 3 asadas with cheese. I also ordered a horchata to drink. The tacos came out pretty quickly. The pastor was really good. But the star of the show was the asada WITH CHEESE. The cheese is the key. They fry up the cheese on the griddle and it gives it a slightly brown color from the heat. The asada taco with cheese is the best tacos I've ever had. If you go here order this! I ended up ordering 2 more asadas with cheese because it was so good. They have some delicious salsa at the table as well as pico de gallo and of course lime. I also ordered a jaricalla which is similar to flan. Very delicious! This place is a must stop restaurant when in Guadalajara. It does get pretty busy for a good reason. The people working were very nice. If I didn't have so many places I wanted to try I would have gone again during my visit. This place is simply amazing!!!!
