Rating so low for customer service. Called in my order when I got there I stood at the front desk area for over twenty minutes before being acknowledged. Once the lady saw me she said hold on a moment and called for someone else who took over ten minutes to come up to the desk, the restaurant only had around four customers. I explained to her I had a called in order and she tryed to give me a order that was just sitting on the table for door dash, I told her it wasnt mine and she told me you said you were picking up at 6:20, i had remind her it is almost 7pm now and i have been standing here for thirty minutes. She said hold on again and wait for my order, I waited around ten more minutes she said they had to re do the order handed me my bag before I could even check it she disappeared. I looked through the bag had paid for extra chips and salsa and recieved one salsa, I went back to the counter and waited, no one came up, I called the store number and could here the phone ringing and no one answered. I finally got fed up and left. I should of cancelled the order and went somewhere else. The customer service is awful. I will...

The service sucks! They have new servers etc who are trying. When I say new this might’ve been our servers first or second day as evident by her jitters. The first booth she was going to seat us at was dirty so she sat us at another booth that was dirty. I had to ask her to wipe the table and it took 10 minutes for her to come back with a rag to do so. The salsa was soupy and didn’t even stay on the chips. Tomato soup was thicker than the salsa! There was 0 customers in there besides me & my husband and yet we waited 15-20 minutes for a pathetic tasteless lime margarita. Our server was new and she was trying, nothing against her, but I’ve been there when it’s busier and had better service. The nicest thing I can say was the fajitas were piping hot BUT they were plain and had no seasoning and were tasteless so how good was it really??? It was a total waste of time & money it was more of a donation. The best thing we had were the shots of tequila. Will not return. Step up your game before the game is over for this location. I don’t mind spending money but I want good service and food for my money. This...

Where do I begin. I should have started by not entering this restaurant...again. Our family of seven was seated immediately. The hostess barely said 2 words as we were seated. Our waiter Omar did not speak much at all. He appeared to be disinterested in is as customers and in his job. 2 of our meals were wrong and had to be sent back. Staff could be heard yelling in the kitchen over the repeatedly wrong orders. I asked for a margarita and never received it. We waited 30 minutes for refills that never appeared. When we asked about them he said," I'll get back to you." When our waiter realized we were leaving he ran and tried to slide 3 drinks on the table and then followed us up front to make sure we paid. That was the most action we saw of him all evening. None of the staff seemed to care. At one point we raised our hands (yes ...like little children in class) to get attention and service. Its obvious that not only was the food overpriced but that the staff cares only about revenue and Not customer service. It was a very...

Searching for Authentic Mexican Cuisine. Look no further as La Tonalteca as busted through competing with some of Dovers best like La Delicias. A true gem locally and set in the heart of Dover. Still thriving next to a Taco Bell ! The beef on the nachos was not the the tastiest. Beef tasted like over seasoned sausages. The t bone was perfect though😍 shrimp cooked perfect afloat my steak. Didn’t even touch the salad. They applied peppers. Not a fan. I was wishing for a better portion of rice and beans. My Pork Carnitas was too seasoned to enjoy. A little too tough to thoroughly chew through. My avocado sliced salad was good enough. Buti asked for no avocados. My kids preferred Taco Bell sadly. Asking for a refund would seem as hard as ordering. Most of the employees don’t speak English. Which was complicating. So we decided to just pay a $10 tip and move forward. Would we Return of course.

Simply delicious food. I had a burrito there that I devoured. Salsa is good though I wish it had more heat. The service is very nice. Definitely worth a stop, and my wife and I have been plenty of times and will plenty more. Newer review: still tasty, though churros were a little sad. My newest review: service has taken a giant leap downhill. I tried calling the place an order and after 8 attempts with either no answer or picking up and hanging up I gave up. I went to the place to order in person and it took 5 minutes before anyone even approached me. I haven't tried the food yet as it still hasn't been made, but I'm not sure I want to come back based on the service. And I shouldn't take it personally. While I was there the phone rang three times and they never answered. Dropping from 5 to 3 stars.

My son is going to have to find a new taco spot. We were charged $1.99 for sour cream and $1.50 for cheese. That's crazy after spending almost $11 for 3 "American style" tacos which consist of: flour tortilla & some bland chicken. Then there's a 30 cent take out fee and a tip! In the end I spent almost $20 for one person to have some very mediocre tacos with expensive toppings, and fries. The restaurant was dark, mostly empty and smelled like old cooking oil, and the hostess who took the order seems depressed.
