The food was excellent and good margaritas. Very reasonably priced as it’s about 30 per person for an entrée and 1 drink, depending on what you order. I ordered the 3 combo entrée with 2 enchiladas and a chalupa with a mango margarita large servings the service was great. Very attentive and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for your Mexican cuisine adventures. I added some pictures of the food our whole party ordered.

I’ve dined in here multiple times for lunch but this was my first time doing takeout. It was better to call in an order because the DoorDash app didn’t have the same menu options. It was easy and quick to call in and they got the order exactly right. Only waited a few minutes to pickup because I got there early. The service and atmosphere at Tonala are so good! Everyone is so friendly. The food is consistent and delicious.

We had a great lunch here. It was very good food. They made it exactly how we wanted. Large portion sizes. The servers were very attentive, bringing drinks, chips, ect. The atmosphere was perfect for chatting without feeling like we were interrupting others. Overall, it was a great experience.

First time trying this place out. We had the nicest waitress.. the food was very tasty and very good portions. I had the Molquijate which I could not finish but it was really good. Hubby had the carne asada and he killed it in less than 10 mins.

Went here for lunch, I noticed after each customer the host took the menu and wiped it down with a cloth before putting it back on the stack. It’s the small things like that that makes you know that there is pride of ownership in this place + food was delicious. Ground beef quesadilla was a little greasy but still tasty.

Seriously awesome Mexican cuisine! My wife and I lived in LA and feel we are a pretty good judge of food south if the border. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and even played with our 13mo old daughter a little! Food as stated was genuinely amazing! The ambiance was excellent and the decorations on point. If your looking for a family friendly restaurant give this a go! 10/10

We came in with our infant and had a great time. The staff was really friendly and the food was good. I loved the queso dip with chorizo. The cocktail menu is huge and the drinks we ordered were delicious.
