★★★★★ 5.0 Tatiana Sida-Amor · May 2025

I have been coming to place forever. They always have chips and salsa ready when you're seated. I opted to get the buffet since it had a little bit of everything. I thoroughly enjoyed the mango margarita that lasted my entire meal. The chicken fajitas were yummy, fresh tacos with yellow rice. I got dessert to end off my meal. Waitress was nice enough to bag my tortillas and salsa (always take the chips). The lunch menu and specials during the week are worth going.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Vivo Music · Jul 2025

Excellent Mexican buffet, I always look for real and traditional flavors. Amazing sopa de mariscos, you can find carnitas, chicken and beef fajitas, flautas, tortillas, frijoles refritos, you can make your own tacos 🌮, alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, mango mojito 👌🏻, delicious ice cream and the best churros I’ve try in a long time. The only thing i don’t like from Mexican places in is the music…Tigres del Norte or Banda is not for me, other than that, I enjoyed my food so much that I didn’t have time to take more pictures.

Google Translate tells me that "La Tonalteca" translates to "The Fantastic". Lol. This place is great. Atmosphere is really cool. You could spend days looking at all the awesome decor. Food is crazy good. Prices are reasonable. Service is amazing. Highly Recommend.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Joan Hill · Jul 2025

Beautiful building. Menu partially Spanish. Waitress couldn’t tell you what it said. Service so bad table of 8 left because they were ignored. Don’t think food was fresh. Have no clue about dietary restrictions. First time in 60 years I sent my dinner back and didn’t eat a meal. Others felt food they got wasn’t fresh. Don’t know how they stay in business

★★★★★ 5.0 PhillipsVision YT · Mar 2021

Food was good and prices are average for this type of restaurant. The service was good and the server was nice. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The decor and setting are very well done, both inside and out; nice aztec/Spanish look. Feels like a real Mexican restaurant in Mexico. Located right off Dupont Hwy next to Taco Bell.
