Tonala…the name comes from the Nahuatl phrase Tonallan, which means where the “sun rises.”
The sun does rise on the beautiful new Mexican restaurant in Spanaway off Mountain Hwy East near the Fred Meyer Shopping Center, and our newest Tacoma location, across from the Tacoma Mall off 38th street.
Tonala Mexican Restaurant is owned and operated by the Contreras family, who have been proud owners of Mexican restaurants in the local market for over 26 years. They pride themselves on the unique dishes they offer, including many authentic recipes from Mexico City.
