We had a great experience at La Tonalteca in Dover! My father and my wife both had the fajitas, and they were flavorful and cooked just right. I ordered the chilaquiles and tortilla soup—absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The service was also excellent—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend if you're looking for great Mexican food in the area!

I do not recommend going to eat at the buffet since it is not really a buffet, they just put the food there and the food is cold, they do not change it, we went to eat because my husband wanted to try if it is a buffet but what a disappointment we got and we did not like it really just to try it is the first time we come to this place we have heard that they serve a buffet, but not a buffet no, no, we would not return because the food is not fresh, it is food that they put out...
