stop there today (5-11-2019) to take my wife out for Mother's Day dinner, the parking lot was almost empty which should have been the main clue, one table was dirty was dirty (so I asked him if the had a wet rag that I would wipe it off) so he told me that he would move us to another table, so the they moved us to another table that was dirty. Then that table was dirty too, so he was like I can move you again, then I took one of the paper napkins and wiped the table off. Then they finally brought out the chips which were stale with red sauce, no white sauce. Then they came out and told us (after we ordered our food, that they did not have any chicken). We told then to give us a check for the drink my wife ordered, which should have been on the house by this time frame and charged us $10.00 for her drink. I was like really dude!!!!!!!!! It should have been free after all of this with your place!!!!!!!!! We then left after paying for the drink...... No chicken on Mother's Day weekend!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Price is great, food is great, service is good. The environment is very relaxed, and the staff is very friendly. The food came out really fast. No real complaints here, its an all around good Mexican place! read more

La Tolteca - Mexican Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

I will eat here again. My husband and I love Mexican food. We came to love it while living in Atlanta, where there is a lot of Mexican, Peruvian, Salvadorian, etc food. This food is okay, and to be honest, each entree is priced about 10-20% too high for what it is (and we are from a big city, so it isn't like we are unaware of city mark up). The fish tacos *need* an acid element. A lime sauce, something. It is too much fish for too little taste. I'll be trying the street tacos next time. read more

Their newest location in Aberdeen is THE BEST! Go see the manager, Dave, & tell him 'Ms Sue' sent you!! Absolutely the best food, service & atmosphere - might I add - the best marguaritas!!!! read more

La Tolteca - great atmosphere - Mexican Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

I mainly come here for the tacos but, this time I chose to try something different. I ordered the Carne Asada and was blown away by how tender and flavorful the meat was. It has to be one of the most delicious steaks that I have eaten in a long time. Of course, I had to order a margarita, as well, and chose the Gold Margarita. The marg was okay...I've had better there but, usually their margaritas are delicious. (Either way...I drank it.) Perhaps, I will try a different variety of margarita on my next visit. read more

Tried what they called especial. It was beans wrap, chicken and beef very tasteless and watery

We ordered delivery from this place and they missed my husbands entire meal. We tried calling several times to address the issue and they didn't answer the phone. So they basically ripped us off of a meal. The food we did receive was bland and mediocre. I couldn't even finish the food. The carne asada was so dry it hurt my mouth to eat. I ended up tossing everything. Enjoy the donation. I hate writing this horrible review during such times but I feel cheated. read more

Came to this place for a birthday lunch and overall this place was pretty great! Chips and salsa were abundant and filled almost instantly and service of the staff was great on refills and getting orders put in especially the house margaritas. But as far as the food was concerned, it was pretty decent food but nothing over the top and memorable. They definitely had good dishes like their shrimp dip and la tolteca steak ranchero. But it didn't stand out too much compared to other decent Mexican joints. However, I would recommend for the strength of the margaritas alone and for the food afterwards! read more

The bartender Cindy made my wedding weekend! She handled all of my crazy wedding party with ease and grace two nights in a row. She was one of the best bartenders I have ever met. Thank you Cindy! Love, The newlyweds Ps. I'm a bar manager and have never wanted to write a yelp review until you! You're the best! read more

La Tolteca has great food, fast service and friendly staff. The prices are reasonable. I love the combination dishes. The server we had was so nice and made us feel very welcomed. I had the enchilada and taco dish. It was delicious! read more

My family and I love it here! Their menu is pretty big, and if you're looking for authentic Mexican they can do that for you (like legit tacos, yay!) but if you're looking for more Americanized food, they'll do that too. It has a great environment, I've always had good service (in the past year I've probably been there like 4 or 5 times) and their drinks are pretty good (just not a whole lot of variety). The prices are very reasonable, and they have a few locations so they know what they're doing. The food tastes super fresh, and they make the guac in front of you too! read more

Absolutely terrible Mexican food. The beer was cold and they do have a happy hour in the bar area, so that is a plus. Staff is friendly and they earned a second star for that. I tried the place a few times, but just can't stand bland ground beef for taco's enchiladas, etc. limited effort is put into the actual food. I do have high standards for Mexican food having grown up in Los Angeles and should cut them a break, yet I couldn't even force myself to eat the soggy taco and nasty enchilada I ordered tonight. Last time I tried the fajitas and those were mediocre, but definitely better than anything with ground beef. Someone should teach them how to make a taco. read more

Love this place! Great food and great service! I love the way they make the guacamole right at your table. My go to favorite is the fish tacos or the beef and chicken fajitas. The regular salsa isn't spicy, but you can request the green chile salsa at no extra charge. read more

Being from Southern California, it was probably a mistake to go to a mexican restaurant in Maryland, but it was convenient so I tried it. Well, you get what you pay for. This place wouldn't last a week in California. The chips were stale, I had a chile relleno that the chef must have missed half the ingredients when he looked it up in a mexican cookbook (no egg batter, and stuffed with a velveeta-like substance. Ugh. read more

Okay this lil gem where to start rum runner the best bartender recommended fajita nachos Lordy they were so good and more then enough to take home. Going back for taco tuesdays. Flavorful delicious worth the trip up the 95 corridor stop by and give them a try. read more

So as someone who travels back and forth to Aberdeen on a regular basis this has been one of my favorite places to have a drink and dinner. However, I am astonished at how things have changed in the bar area lately. First, the service is super slow. Last night I went in thave dinner at the bar. I first ordered a margarita and then attemtpted to order sinner. I placed an order for street tacos and a side of queso. "Sorry, we have no queso". How do you run out of queso.. Soni cancelled my order. Kept waiting for chips and slasa but after about 20 min I asked if I could get cios and salsa and again, "Sorry, we are out of chips". Really, so then I ask about all the menu items on the menu that come with queso know top. I am told they just serve then without the queso. I took two drinks of my $14 margarita and left. They really need to get someone to properly manage this place unless they just don't care. I miss the regulars that used to work the bar here. read more

Worst EVER. Walked out. Waited at table 30 minutes for drink order. Wrong drink order arrived with different waiter. Then waited again. New waiter took order. Wrong and HORRIBLE appetizers. Asked for manager. Waited again. No one came. We walked out. Never again. I'd have to say this was the worst I've ever had read more

I was very excited to visit the new location in Aberdeen. But what a disappointment. We waited for 15 minutes before a server even acknowledged us and it went downhill from there! Our meals, which took 45 minutes to arrive, were served after 4 tables that had arrived after we did. I had to call the server over to inquire as to when our meals might be delivered. Once the food came, I never received the tortillas that were essential for my fajitas and the server never came to check on us. I have never had such terrible service! We will stick to visiting the Churchville location from now on. read more

Wonderful, fast establishment. Quality food and service. My absolute favorite restaurant.

La Tolteca is a pretty good restaurant, and this location has gotten much better with their service since they opened earlier this year. There were times previously when my friends and I would have to wait over a half hour just for our drinks during lunchtime, but they've definitely gotten a good rhythm down - now, we can be in and out in less than 45 minutes. I always get the chicken chimichanga which is always amazing. Their cheese dip is awesome also, and I get this every time I go. That being said, my one complaint with this place lies with the dip itself. When I first started going here, the cheese dip would come out in a pretty decent sized bowl - for 3 bucks, I thought that it was a pretty fair price for a large portion. However, several months ago, I noticed that the bowls started getting smaller and smaller...and then when I went a month ago, the dip came out in a little container that resembled a shot glass. For 3 bucks?! I don't think so. I went again today, and my friend and I both ordered the dip and it came out in a medium-sized container. I don't know if they close their eyes and point to the bowls that they'll be using for it that day, but they need to adjust the cost of it so that there's some type of standard. Other than that, I really enjoy this place! UPDATE: My friend and I went to La Tolteca last week, and we asked the waitress about the variations in size of the cheese dip. She leans into us and goes, "No matter the size, the same amount of cheese is in each container." Um, sorry...unlike my coat, I didn't check my brain at the door. A shot glass sized dish won't have the same amount contained as a medium-sized salsa dish would. So I asked her, "Well what about the large bowl?" Her response? "Well no, there's more in that one." "But you guys charge $3.00 for ALL of the size variations?" "Uhh, yes we do." "Ok then, I'll order the largest bowl you have then, since they're all the same price." Man did we get an attitude after that. read more

Best Mexican food around. The guacamole is awesome. A winner

Great food! Clean ! Nice bar! Staff very friendly ! I go to Mexico every year & the food here is pretty authentic !

So good! Great happy hour specials all day everyday. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Bartender was really nice when we went there. Great service! read more

As a rule the Havre de Grace/Aberdeen area is a wasteland when it comes to good casual dining or any kind of dining for that matter. La Tolteca Aberdeen is the exception. I'm so glad they're here! read more

This is my FAVORITE Mexican restaurant! The white salsa served with chips is out of this world! I consistently have propmpt, attentive, and courteous service. The portion sizes are large, and the prices are very reasonable. The bar area is separated from the dining area which is a plus! If you love Mexican food you should definitely stop in! read more

The worst service Ever! 2 juvenile females one behind the bar and Shocker a female manager. Absolutely no clue or customer curiosity. I tried to go back and both bitches were still there. No street taco is worth that. I miss Lily. Do not go here! read more

The white sauce and dos xx here are a must. Try the Carne asada with onions and ranchera sauce. Happy hours here are affordable and within budget read more

"One and done!" First time trying, last time going. Chips and salsa, enjoyed the homemade chips but the salsa, "No way Jose!" Too much soapy cilantro taste. I ordered a house specialty - 2 Beef Chimichangas. The beef is beef tips, which I was excited about (you may also order chicken). There was something in it that I did not care for. Chili con queso (light) was on top of the chimichangas and came with lettuce (not shredded), one tomato slice, sour cream, and refried beans. Didn't like the beans at all. Wanted the food to be good, I really did. Ordered "Xangos" for dessert. It's fried cheesecake in dough, with ice cream. How could that not be good? I don't know... If it had been enjoyable, the price of $19.06 would've been good. The restaurant is not very clean. Hint: If you eat in and dust bothers you, don't sit by a window - So Much Dust! Some of the colors on the wall and paint on the chairs were cute, but the chairs are torn and/or need to be replaced. Was hoping to find a good Authentic Mexican Restaurant read more

This used to be a great place for lunch, and I've been coming to the local La Toltecas forever. The food is pretty good at this location but the big draw at least for me were the chips which they recently changed the policy on. Now there is a 2 basket limit per table regardless of your party size. It may not be a big deal for some but since the chips were a large part of the reason I came I probably will be coming a lot less often with all of the other lunch options around. read more

They moved from their old location and they were packed!! The atmosphere was pretty nice........ they sat us in the bar area. The space between tables was kind of tight almost uncomfortable to move around. It was lunch time and I had the Supreme Enchiladas which were okay but not the greatest thing I have tasted. The prices are not bad. It was okay but I wasn't WOW'd...... read more

Below average for Mexican places. Gets overrated since it started in the bel air area and was the only really local Mexican restaurant. The food (especially the ground beef) is not grade A. Once ordered a chicken taco and the bones were in the taco. Yes bones plural. The ground beef tastes like dog food and the chips taste like they are made once in the morning than stale by lunch time. read more

Found this place for lunch one day and decided to try it for dinner. Unfortunately although the food was good the atmosphere was awful. The Ravens game was on and there was a large group of very obnoxious and drunk fans yelling and screaming obscenities I felt as if I was in some corner pub listening to the F bomb being used with regularity by both the males and females. At one point they began trying to pick a fight with the family at the table next to them and the wait staff and management did nothing but continue to serve them alcohol . The food was good but I will never go back and certainly will not recommend it to anyone especially those with children. read more

Very food mexican cuisine. Located at the La Quinta Inn in Aberdeen, very close to APG. They offer "coupons" on restaurant.com where you spend a certain amount and get a discount taken off. It worked out very well for our party of 2. The place was fairly quiet when we went for lunch on a weekend. The staff is very friendly and the place was clean. I would definitely return. read more

The white sauce was bad. I asked the waiter if he made a mistake and had giving us ranch dressing for dip and he said no that it was their white sauce. We asked for queso instead but it tasted like cheap melted cheese. I ordered a Chile relleno and was not good either. The Chile didn't have the batter and the cheese filling was not good on top of that it was smothered on enchilada sauce. Never returning here. read more

Not a good night at La Tolteca. So we are seated pretty quickly and it went downhill from there. My wife orders a virgin margarita. It took some going back an fourth to get that right. The waiter didn't understand English. My wife asked him about the Fajitas, what's on them, he kept saying "yea, yea". We finish ordering dinner. It arrives and the waiter quickly disappears - no utensils; and no shells for my Carne Asada. Have to ask for things that should be there, again. Our waiter was nowhere to be found. The carne looks like the loser at Delaware Park. I was ready for some Flan, waiting, waiting, waiting, finally our waiter appears. I order Flan. This dude took forever. Maybe I'm watching way too much Mystery Diners or Kitchen Impossible but, with the worst waiter and marginal food, next time I'm going to Taco Bell. read more

A decent place for typical east coast style Mexican food. The speedy Gonzales was a little over priced, but the food was good. The white dip presented with the salsa tastes alot like miracle whip. The salsa is kind of plain and lacked depth of flavor. My friend got the street tacos and they looked on point, so I know what I will be ordering next time. The fajita nachos looked good as well. read more

Not a mexican food fan but my daughters are so decided to try it out. Loved it!! The decor is cheerful. The waiter was new but so funny which made it so nice. They make the guacamole right in front if you. I got the taco salad and would certainly order again. Definitely will go again. read more

We really liked this place. It is huge inside and very clean. Food portions are enormous as you can expect from a Mexican restaurant and the service is very good. read more

Great service, location, price, and food! Quick service, it isn't very busy here! I love the taco salad! It comes in a hard shell bowl.

This place is always on point! Food and service are both fantastic! I've been here probably a dozen times and never had a bad experience.
