Best ethnic food: La Tonalteca

Those looking for a dining experience a notch above the standard college town junk food fare are in luck. La Tonalteca, located on North College Avenue, serves authentic Mexican cuisine in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. The Newark restaurant is one of twelve locations - eight of which are in Delaware.

La Tonalteca, known as La Tolteca before it moved from the Newark Shopping Center, has won Delaware Today magazine's coveted awards for "Best Mexican Restaurant" and "Best Margaritas" numerous times over the last 10 years. One basket of homemade chips and salsa, accompanied by any of La Tonalteca's imported Mexican beers, is enough to see why.

Featuring an unusually diverse menu for a casual Mexican restaurant, La Tonalteca truly offers something for every taste, as the menu features nearly every combination of burritos, chimichangas, tacos, tamales and enchiladas imaginable. Those looking for something a bit different can enjoy sizable portions of unique dishes, ranging from the ever-popular Tropical Shrimp Salad to the adventurous Hawaiian-style fajitas.

Finally, in the tradition of great Mexican restaurants everywhere, La Tonalteca offers an array of exotically flavored margaritas and an atmosphere tailor-made for good times with amigos.
