About Us
For over 15 years, El Tonayense has been serving up the heart and soul of Mexican tradition right here in the Mission District. Born from the vibrant streets of Tonaya, Jalisco, our family set out to share the flavors that remind us of home-the kind of food you'd find at a street corner in Mexico, crafted with love and shared with family and friends.
What sets us apart? It's our secret salsa, a recipe passed down through the Santana family, made with care and a little bit of magic. It's the high-quality meats, the fresh ingredients, and the passion we pour into every taco, every plate, every bite.
Whether you're stopping by for a quick meal or inviting us to cater your special moments, our goal is simple: to bring you authentic, unforgettable Mexican food at a price that makes you smile.
So swing by, enjoy the flavors, and let us bring the taste of home straight to you.
