I’m a little biased when restaurants have good, unique vegetarian dishes, so I got real excited when I saw a “Walnut Chorizo Burrito.” The dish itself absolutely surpassed what I was hoping for. I mean, who thinks of walnuts to replace chorizo filling? A dang genius, that’s who. I’m sure the chopped yo walnuts marinate for a while, cus they have an overall soft chew to them, but every now and then you find a slightly crunchy walnut, which I think makes the whole experience more fun - think ‘finding a curly fry in your basket of regular fries’
I haven’t spent time in the building besides to pick up my food, but it looks spacious and well taken care of. Going there for a birthday dinner in a few days so I’ll report back in the atmosphere.

This restaurant is part of the Public House eatery group - a place we've always enjoyed. I ordered the Barbacoa Quesadilla for $14 at the Tonalli Latin Kitchen stand. We received what looked like a worn out wash rag soaked in oil. Clearly, cheese is greasy, but this was swimming in oil. Hoping it would at least taste good, I was again disappointed. There was not a shred of anything green inside, just greasy, cheese and unflavored meat. By the time I got back home I felt sick.

Extremely Disappointing Experience
Tonalli’s is one of the four food vendors at Public House, and unfortunately, they were the only one of three with a 45–60 minute wait—despite a busy but not overwhelming crowd. My family had already finished their meals from other vendors by the time my $28 single burrito, chips, and salsa finally came out, nearly 30 minutes after I ordered.
The staff showed zero sense of urgency. Some were even casually eating in the back kitchen while orders piled up. When I expressed my frustration, I was met with excuses and a patronizing tone instead of any accountability or apology.
This was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had at Public House. Unless there’s a major shift in attitude and operations, I don’t see Tonalli’s lasting more than a few months. I would give zero stars if I could.
