Beef

for starters me and my girl came in for my birthday dinner we walk in and no one is at the bar or the host stand looks like a ghost town finally (20 min later) we get sat at a booth order our food my girl asks for only cheese and beef on my tacos and I do the same on my enchiladas however when I got my food it was only cheese this was when the waitress proceeded to leave us at our table for 20 more minutes without filling our water she finally comes back and says she's sorry and how i said cheese anyway I told her I'd eat it if it could be taken off the bill or maybe have price anyway she comes back to my table after I asked for a refund with a HALF COOKED BOWL OF BEEF FOR ME

Chicken fajitas

Stopped in for dinner and were oddly were seated in the very back of the restaurant, even though there was plenty of open seats upfront. We sat there staring at our menus for about 10-15 minutes until waitress showed up. We ordered a couple of margaritas with the salt and two appetizers: the Nachos Supreme and Shrimp Ceviche. The drinks came out in plastic cups and looked like lime juice and tasted bad. The apps came out quickly and were just okay. We had chicken on the nachos and it was just one large lump of shredded chicken on one side of the plate under the chips. The Shrimp Ceviche tasted fine. For dinner we ordered the Chicken Fajitas and Enchiladas. All three of our dinner orders came out about 5-10 min apart so we sat there waiting. The fajitas were a nice portion but loaded with mushrooms and we had no shredded cheese or sour cream. She didn't ask if we wanted it so we thought it was included. When our waitress finally returned we asked for a water and a beer. The water never showed and the beer was not what was ordered. Overall, the food was just okay and the service was not good. Not sure how this place stays in business. We won't be back.

Good food and great service. Also a good value. They're a little tucked away, so not that prominent of a location.

Food is very good, service is not. I've tried both locations here in northern Delaware and it's the same.

What is the difference between La Tonalteca and La Tolteca?

Nothing. I've been to la Tolteca on 202 tons of times and now that I live in pike creek I go to La Tonalteca by Christians or in Lantana Square. Literally the same exact menu.

Portion sizes are generous and they have a person who will come to your table and make fresh guacamole.

This is a hidden gem that we weren't expecting to come across. First, the sit-down area is located…read morebehind the butcher area and it's clear that the quality of the meat is solid. After ordering a few tacos, I regret not ordering the broth that everyone else seemed to have ordered. Regardless, the tacos were divine. I have to say the peppers were extremely spicy and something that I half-regret eating. But despite the spicy sweats, the flavors were spot on that it was such a memorable meal. Would definitely be back.

I went into this restaurant because I noticed that they had huaraches, and because a chef at…read moreanother restaurant recommended it. 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!
