Nortesur, Mexican restaurant in Toluca, Mexico.
Nortesur is a Mexican restaurant in Toluca, in the State of Mexico, that combines dishes from the country's northern and southern regions on one menu. The space is casual and welcoming, with a kitchen focused on traditional recipes tied to specific parts of Mexico.
Toluca has long been a meeting point for goods and people from across Mexico, and Nortesur reflects that same exchange through its menu. The cooking methods used in the kitchen come from traditions developed in different parts of the country over many generations.
The name Nortesur translates to "north-south" and reflects the restaurant's approach of bringing together cooking traditions from opposite ends of Mexico. A meal here moves between smoky, meat-heavy northern dishes and the spicier, herb-rich plates of the south.
The restaurant works well for both lunch and dinner, though the midday service tends to draw more locals and is a good time to visit. If you plan to come with a group, calling ahead is a good idea since seating space is limited.
Each month the kitchen turns its focus to a specific Mexican state, offering dishes that rarely appear on any restaurant menu outside that region. This means the experience changes noticeably depending on when you happen to visit.
