I love this Mexican restaurant. Definitely wowed me. What a great day to experience a great restaurant. I specially was impressed by the price and the huge portion of food. First time I ordered Taco Salad and I was not disappointed because it came out wonderful and delicious. I finished the whole taco salad. With extra cost of guacamole, it was creamy and tasty. The shell was delicious and the chips as starter that are all homemade were filling. I say sign me up and totally forget about Taco Bell which is next to it. This is the Mexican way to New Mexico! read more

Food is great, decor is nice. Refried beans are some of the best. Margs are good. Very authentic and comes close to restaurants in San Diego

Good food, fast service, drunk from margaritas....my kind of place! Super inexpensive, look for the coupons!

Although the restaurant was crowded, the meal was the worst Mexican food that we've ever had. The taco shells were like cardboard, the meat filling was tasteless, the frajitas were overcooked, and the service was slam-bang. Won't make that mistake again, amigo. read more

Very average American-style Mexican chain restaurant. It ain't Mexican Mexican if that's what you are after. But being a gringo, you weren't probably looking for that anyway. read more

Amazing food, excellent customer service. Free chips and salsa, even when you dine out!

The service is always attentive and quick. The food is always well prepared. And the prices are very reasonable.

Love their food here. Almost as good as mexican food in the southwest. Their American style tacos are the best and the mole is fantastic.

We LOOOOOVVVVEEE this place! We go probably 3-5 times per month (what can I say I love Mexican food)! They hit it everytime. Fast, affordable and friendly service. They remember you when you come in! Love the pick up counter too!! read more

Good food at a good price. Always enjoy the service and meal when I have the opportunity to eat here. The location is convenient being right on rt13. I am picky on what Mexican food I like and can always find an enjoyable menu item. read more

Good choice for everyday Mexican cuisine. Everyone leaves full and happy.

This place has really good food, but it's not necessarily Mexican food you get in TX or Arizona. Just not the same flare or authenticity as the food you'll find close to the boarder. Needless to say, my family finds ourselves here quite often! The environment leaves somewhat to be desired because of the tight fit seating and uncomfortable chairs and tables. The outside of the building makes you think you've arrived at an old- abandon Wendy's fast food joint, which you actually have I think...but, alas, you'll find a much better meal and bar inside! read more

The food was decent but they got three of our orders wrong, one of my kids never even got a refill and then we asked for a drink to go and they said it was extra charge. Makes me appreciate Cazadores in Suffolk VA so much better. read more

The atmosphere is fantastic. The prices are great for the portions. The chips prior to the meal are great too, like a fresh baked four tortilla chip of sport with a little seasoning and salsa that about a media spice. The service has always been great for me. The food is what to be expected for a Northern Mexican place. They have so many menu choices, it's great for my family of five with ages of 3 to 37. My favorite in town. read more

Great food. Always leave there wishing I could keep eating. Fantastic staff. Very rarely over crowded. A nice place to have a fresh meal and still be able to have a conversation with your table mates. read more

As far as Mexican food goes it's nothing special. The atmosphere and setting is cool but uncomfortable. Clean however and parking is good on a normal day as long as the rest of Dover doesn't suddenly have a need for Mexican food at the same time. Waite staff was alright. Nothing special, average times to receive food, no mentions of specials or a understanding what we meant by lunch combo. If you really need Mexican food and have nowhere else to go, the I guess go here read more

Got a steak for me,fajita for my wife.the steak was too salty to eat.the drinks are watered down.we each had 2 and probably should have just ordered water.we'd give the fajita a 5 out of 10. read more

My wife and I attended a couples baby shower at this venue. It actually turned out pretty nice. There were 6 couples and a good time was had by all. The food was wonderful. Outstanding presentation, taste, flavors, preparation. Kitchen did a great job. We had the Beef and Chicken fajitas. Best I ever had. Now for the service. The service was non existent. Our server was lost in space. But the best part, was at the end of the meal, she stood at the end of the table and asked everyone to pass their plates down to her. The only reason I gave this place an average was because of the terrible service. Would I go back - Yes. Would I recommend - Yes. For the food and maybe a professional server. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times with friends and the service is amazing! Do yourself a favor and eat here!

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in all of Delaware! They have two great locations that I can never choose from. Have you seen that meme that said "Mexican food so authentic, Trump would build a wall around it"? Well, they were talking about La Tolteca! Seriously, you will not be disappointed! Best food, best margaritas, and best servers! read more

From Texas and very picky / biased about Tex Mex food. This place was pretty good and had a large selection. The waitress was friendly and it was a nice place. The iced tea was gross though , but again... I'm used to my Texas tea. read more

The chips and salsa you're served as a standard part of the service both seem like they're freshly made instead of served from a can. Wait staff is pleasant and attentive without being overbearing, and the service is fairly prompt. The food is delicious and served in generous portions. Having Dos Equis on tap - and served in a chilled stein, nonetheless - is an excellent touch. The only possible blemish on an otherwise remarkable dining experience is the occasional disturbance from the other patrons - this really isn't the restaurant's fault; it's lower Delaware, after all - but it does affect the experience. I suppose that part of the experience could be classified as "entertainment." They used to have dancing bears in the circus; nowadays, it's more amusing to listen to the rustic folks in the next booth confuse Italian with Spanish by responding to their Hispanic waiter who asks if they're done with their plate: "Yeah, we're finito." read more

I give it three stars just because it's the best around. Let me be honest, I am not blown away by this place, though I do admit to hitting it up at least once a month. I love Mexican food, and good Mexican is hard to come by...especially in Dover, DE of all places. This place is ok. The decor is week and needs to be updated. It doesn't have that "fresh feel," so to speak. Honestly, it feels kind of dirty in there - the menus are dirty and old, the table clothes are gross and sticky, and it smells a bit off when you first walk in. The service is ok. It's not horrible, but it's not amazing either...it's...ok. The food is ok. Again, it's the best around. I've watched the kitchen prepare food a few times while waiting for a pickup order. They are putting stuff together with their bare hands. They are also using the warming oven too much for my taste. If you're in the Wilmington area, check out the La Toteca on Concord Pike...it blows this Dover one outta the water. I never cease to be amazed how the simple but key components to running a good restaurant are continually overlooked: cleanliness, customer service, quality food. read more

Happened to be craving Mexican food while in the area, so I stopped here for lunch after reading some yelp reviews. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by colorful decor and a strong, delicious scent coming from the grill. Chips and salsa are brought to the table as soon as you sit town. The chips were warm and fresh, and the salsa was good, though not the best I've had. I ordered three corn tortilla tacos: one carnitas, one chorizo, and the other steak and chorizo. I ended up getting flour tortillas instead which I was a little disappointed about, but I was starving and the food smelled so good that I kept them and ate just the filling. The carnitas taco was a little on the dry side, but the chorizo and steak was amazing. I don't even know how to describe the flavor of the chorizo, but it was juicy and packed so much more flavor than any other chorizo I've had before. The dish also came with a side of refried beans which I was a little unsure about at first bite, but I ended up eating more than half of it so I guess you can say I ended up liking them. Overall, the experience was pretty good. I would consider visiting again in the future, but it would mainly be for that surprisingly great chorizo! read more

Honestly the place for most people would get 4 stars, but as a native Texan I'm used to Tex-Mex cuisine. It seems like the "typical" Mexican restaurant being overly salty, lime syrup margaritas, and an abundance of red sauce. The staff on past visits (over a dozen) haven't been overly friendly, but not rude either. They take your order and let you be. The flavors in my opinion are somewhat bland with an over abundance of white cheese and seasoning. When I say bland, I mean there is "flavor", but nothing really stands out and it all tastes pretty much the same from enchiladas to quesadillas to fajitas. I will say I'm biased since what I think of Mexican is not this. So, give it a try, you may like it, but if you like good Tex-Mex style with chili con carne sauce, this is not it. read more

Good food, good service, good atmosphere. I had the La Tolteca Burrito and enjoyed it very much. Would definitely come back again.

If you're looking for cheap, solid, and tasty Mexican food here is the place. Was here for a convention and decided to stop by this place after seeing it's menu. Food came out quick and was delicious. If i'm ever in Dover again I will surely go here. read more

Best place to get Mexican food in Dover. Good food, very well seasoned, juicy/tender chicken dishes. Less crowded than Tonalteca down the road. Wait staff is friendly and attentive, gets to know their regulars (and makes them stronger drinks!). The decor is lacking and it's in what probably used to be a Wendy's a decade ago so it doesn't look as nice but who cares when the food is good (such a rarity in Dover, DE). Reasonable pricing. TV is in the bar area only (which is a plus in my opinion). read more

If you are looking for authentic mexican food this is the place for you. The food is delicious and cooked perfectly with love. The staff members are extremely friendly and very welcoming. Great customer service! I eat here atleast once a month for the last 5 years and the service and food is always the same. I love it!!! A must try. Highly recommend. read more

Food is ok. Service is good. The place can be cleaner. And some furnitures need repair.

I love Mexican food and whatever I choose, it is good. Service is good. Margaritas are good. I go back often

The food is amazing!!!! The service is awesome!!(Don't have to chase for the waiter) The drinks are very reasonable. My sisters and I had great food, laughter and fun!!! Very family oriented for the little one too!! Decorative chairs and tables, like no other place in Dover. read more

I love this restaurant. The prices are very reasonable and the plates are full to the rim with food! The service is great and friendly. The fact that the waiters and waitresses are not pestering you every 5 minutes asking if everything is OK is a huge plus for me. read more

I have been here twice and was not impressed at all. The salsa is like pace salsa the blain flavoring, the chips were alright though. Then came to the meal, first time I had pollo tacos which were like nothing good. The sour cream was really grainy and nasty. The beans and rice were like stuff you get at taco bell that makes an alright rice bean ball. I then had the enchiladas which were nasty. I am from California and know good Mexican food and this place comes no where close to it sadly. read more
