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.
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.
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.
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

The food here was exceptionally good. It's a very low cost meal and the cost for two of us was about $20US. It's a high traffic high volume high intensity restaurant but everything seems to work there and it's the number one restaurant that was close to our hotel. read more

Our first time here and we loved it! Clean, open and well spaced; we were seated upon arrival and our waiter greeted us right away. The plates to share with condiments and tortillas were a perfect lunch and we were brought extra tortillas without asking. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and reasonably priced and we found our lunch to be a relaxing experience. We'll come again and bring friends next time. read more

This was our first stop since getting off the plane. We were hungry, but still could not finish the Tomate Especial Grande between two people. This has almost every meat on the menu and unlimited corn tortillas recently made. My brother-in-law had the arrachera. Having a couple Vampiritos probably helped too. We slept well that evening. read more

These tacos are so delicious!!! By far my favorite el pastor tacos ever, the meat is so lean and tasty. I ordered a plate for sharing and they give you unlimited corn tortillas, the salsas are also delicious. The arrachera meat is so flavorful and tender. They have a wait, but well worth it. read more

My fav spot in GDL to eat tacos al pastor. The melted cheese with the al pastor meat is a deadly combo. I purchased an al pastor plate with cheese and the plate had a lot of meat. I also purchased a burrito, but it had mainly cheese inside. I would suggest to go for a plate or straight up tacos instead of the burrito. My mom ordered tacos al pastor. read more

The Al pastor is great here. We had al pastor tacos and gringa (aka mulita). They made the tortillas fresh too! Very cool, hip spot and very inexpensive. We got three tacos, one gringa (good to share between two people), and two Manzana lifts (apple soda) for $10! Service was great too. read more

This place isn't as good as its advertised. The food is ok. You have to build your own taco here. The salsas are good though. read more

Local flavors, super friendly service (shout out to our server Erick!). Food was fresh, hot, no-fuss. It did not disappoint, but the pleasant surprise for me was their fresh fruit drink - orange/passion fruit juice with mint leaves. Great experience! read more

Came here on a recommendation for the Tacos de pastor. The food is fresh and the salsa is good. One thing is if you are use to typical way of how Pastor is prepared you might not like it. It seems they first grind down the meat then pack it on to the Trompo then once cooked it is then shaved off kind is like an Arabic style 'Shawarma ' Don't get wrong the food is good and the service is fast just not your typical Tacos de Pastor. read more

Delicious food. Huge servings for meat platters. I got a mediano serving and it was huge I could not finish it. The only thing I think could be better is the adobada could be a bit more moist and flavorful. The meat was a bit dry for my taste. Would definitely recommend. read more
