Tonalli Mexican Restaurant & Pizzeria
Included In
We first went to this Pennsport restaurant for a taste of their thirst-trapping al pastor. And while the pork at this laidback BYOB is great, it’s the stacked nachos, Mexican pizzas, and adobo-spiced shrimp tacos that will keep us coming back to Tonalli. A deep house-meets-Latin bass soundtrack plays inside the sparse dining room, but it’s as family friendly and first-date casual as they come—especially out front at the wooden picnic tables.

You’ll want to split (at least) one of the thin-crust pizzas, which are topped with everything from salsa verde chicken to refried beans. But it’s the Trompo Al Pastor, with red salsa pork, pineapple, and cilantro salsa verde that you’ll want to have all to yourself (pineapple-on-pizza hive, stand up).
