We tried the Strawberry and Mango virgin daiquiri, and also the Strawberry virgin daiquiri. I ended up liking the Strawberry best -- it tasted the most fruity. The shrimp dip with the tortilla chips was delicious. I ordered the Quesabirria, which was tasty, but I expected it to be more like a cheesy quesadilla. Unfortunately, it didn't come with cheese. The dipping sauce that came with it was very good, though. We also had the Shrimp Fajitas, which were flavorful as well. The restaurant has a family-oriented atmosphere with a mix of all ages. A downside was that the bench behind us was broken, so whenever the people behind us moved, our seat shifted too. The staff was kind, and overall I would recommend this place if you enjoy Mexican food. read more

We've found it!! This place is great. Awesome food and drinks. Oscar was fabulous. We got our chips and salsa, drink, and meals super fast. I had a strawberry margarita and my husband had a regular margarita. Both were definitely worth the money and at happy hour prices. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Delisheoso this place is. Hot, flavorful food served fast. Drinks and Sangria are excellent as well. A great place to visit. read more

Really good mexican food with LARGE portions. Free salsa and a queso dip with chips are complementary. The staff is really nice and the inside is decorated with hand painted mexican imagery. Leftovers were even better the next day read more

I came here with some friends for dinner and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It wasn't crowded during our visit. Everyone on the staff was very friendly. The food was ok. It wasn't really anything to rave about, but I see why this is a local staple for many. The prices and portions are a good value. We enjoyed their margarita offerings. None of us were fans of the creamy salsa/white sauce that comes with the chips - it tasted sour and the seasoning didn't mesh well. When we asked for a regular salsa as a replacement, our server was kind about it and said that she knows that many people don't like it. The wings were good. I felt like my food (Yolanda's special) was a little bland. The seafood burrito was huge and my friend enjoyed it. The nachos were enjoyed too. I would come back if I was in the area. read more

Service was terrible i ordered 3 hard tacos with no lettuce went to take them back for new ones they were very rude and I go there at least once a week read more

stopped by this spot on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We ordered a lime pitcher on the rocks and some fresh guacamole for the table--both were solid choices. The quesadillas and street tacos had an authentic flavor that's often missing in local Mexican-style restaurants, which tend to be more Americanized. This place truly delivered. I'd definitely recommend it. It's conveniently located just down the road from the shopping center. If you're looking to enjoy quality food without the hassle of large crowds, this is the place to go. Plenty of parking was available, and there was no wait time. read more

I love Hispanic foods, from Mexican, CubaA, Central America, etc...The salsas, tortillas, meats, well, every thing is top notch and very tasty! Last time I had a smothered burrito (beef), and it was wonderful; today I had Enchiladas Banderas. So far every thing is fresh and done extremely well. I look forward to the next visit, since I live just one town down US rte 301. read more

La Tolteca is a good option for Mexican in the Crofton, MD area. They offer your traditional Mexican fare and some American-influenced dishes for those who don't yet appreciate authentic Mexican flavors. I've only purchased tacos here. Served on corn tortillas, the tacos are good. However, I wasn't a fan of the al pastor tacos; the pineapple was too prominent, sweet, and the meat was so runny it was borderline messy. The carne asada was delicious. There is an efficient takeout ordering operation which is separate from the dining room. There is also ample seating in the dining room and adequate parking as this place is a stand-alone brick and mortar with its own parking lot. Overall a good experience. read more

I went here with my family after a day trip traveling from Philly. We landed here by chance and I would never come back. Food was good and service seemed nice at first but when it came time to pay, I gave my debit card. They charged my card and then never brought my card back to me. I asked the waitress for it and she said she gave it back (she didn't). I talked to management who also didn't have an answer and claimed I was given my card back (I was not nor did anyone I was traveling with get my card either). I looked all over the floor, dumped my purse out and was just baffled. Someone on their staff took my card. I essentially shut my card off and left the restaurant. Don't risk it here, not worth it. Too shady!! read more

Food is amazing. They have great deals. Drinks are good. A great bang for your buck! Always recommended to try to friends never disappointed! read more

La Tolteca was 10/10 for us! The chips and salsa were delicious. Chips were warm, and salsa was flavourful. We got the chicken fajitas and the Carne asada special. Both were well seasoned. For drinks we got Cadillac margaritas and they were strong and made perfectly. Service was quick and staff was friendly. They had Mexican music playing, which set the mood. Plenty of parking around the building which is always a plus! read more

La Tolteca - Street tacos; Al pastor and shrimp - Mexican Near Me - Crofton, Maryland

No matter how much I try out Mexican food in the NCR, it just disappoints. Living in San Antonio, I'm terribly biased about Mexi-food. The service here was great, our waiter checked on us regularly and was friend. When we asked for salsa, we got more salsa. When we asked for a box, they got us a box... honestly, you get a lot of food here... portion sizes are generous. The ambiance is like any other Mexican place that overdoes the taco. What I mean is pinatas hanging from the ceiling, lots of festive colors, and thematic benches and table tops. The staff will place the standard chips and salsa on the table. The salsa is fresh and chunky. My carne asada especial plate came with to pieces of steak, avocado salad, spanish rice, and refried beans. What did the plate under was what tasted like store bought tortillas. Unimpressive, would I try the same plate again... probably not. Would I try something else? Hmmm. The Modelo Negra was cold and the steak wasn't overdone. Remember the NCR is lacking in Mexican food flavors... the Toltec is about par for the area. read more

I went here for lunch and a drink on my day off after having a long week at work. I was disappointed that they didn't have a bar they only offer table service.

La Tolteca - Michealada - Mexican Near Me - Crofton, Maryland

This place is great! The service is always fast and polite, and the food is always fresh and hot. You can't do much better than this!

I recently placed a carryout order from this restaurant, choosing the Mexican Burrito entrée. According to both their online and in-store menus, the entrée was supposed to include two burritos, various fixings, rice, and beans. However, what I received was a major disappointment: two soggy burritos, no rice or beans, and a handful of stale tortilla chips. I live 45 minutes away, and by the time I got home, I was starving and looking forward to a full meal. Unfortunately, not only was my order incomplete, but it also did not match the description that had been confirmed when I placed the order in person. I called the restaurant immediately and spoke with someone who claimed to be the manager. I explained the situation, referencing my receipt and the menu descriptions. He insisted that rice and beans were not included with the burrito entrée. Despite my attempts to clarify, he dismissed my concerns and stood by what he claimed was on their menu--even though it clearly contradicted both their printed and online materials. This experience left me feeling misled and frustrated. With the current high cost of food, I try to support small businesses, but this one will never get my business again. I will also be warning friends and family about their false advertising and poor customer service. It's especially troubling in a time when some restaurants have been accused of using old food or cutting corners--and unfortunately, my experience with this place felt like a firsthand example. read more

The food at this whole in the wall type of place is surprisingly yummy! I think its too expensive tho. The guacamole is excellent!!! I'm planning to order a large batch for a party I'm hosting. I've only done carry out or delivery so I'm planning to dine in soon to try the drinks and service. The place stays packed! Give it a try for sure! read more

Delicious and amazing food! Prices always on point and customer services is out of this world. They make you feel like family whenever you call or visit. This is My favorite Mexican restaurant in MD hands down! read more

I feel like they have a lot of potential. We were able to make it in a few minutes before happy hour was over with and took advantage of their house Margarita and crunchy tacos. When I saw the sign outside that authentic Mexican I got so excited. When you walk in you're greeted by so many different Mexican decorations it takes you back. The next time I come back perhaps I'll try their actual street tacos and get a sense of the authenticity because the crunchy tacos with cheese and lettuce just didn't do it for me. That Margarita was definitely strong and I love the fact that to him they used was different. I feel like it had flaky salt and I'm unsure if they make it in house themselves. I wish I could have snatched some up for my purse to use for my next Margarita version. They did have a lot of TV so it would be good place to watch games or any sporting event. read more

Great food and service regardless if it is dining in or takeout. Great taste and great quality of food.

Always wanted to try this place, so decided to stop by for lunch/dinner on today. Food: ~ Chicken Wings - the plain wings were better than the Buffalo, so if we ever ordered them again, I would get the plain fried wings. ~ Stuffed Shrimp - it was fried shrimp stuffed with cheese, and it was delicious ~ Steak Quesadillas - full of steak and it was all tender ~ Hard & Soft Tacos - I prefer the soft over the hard, both were really good! ~ Chorizo Dip - The chorizo dip was hot (not spicy, but came to the table hot) and was full of chorizo once we mixed it Also, side note, the bathroom was one of the best bathrooms I've been too in the last couple is months. Very very clean and in order. Overall, I will definitely be back at this place. read more

I would say La Tolteca is a solid Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa were great and fresh, and the portions on the food were second to none. I thought everything was also priced appropriately as well. As for the flavor/taste, I came out of the restaurant a bit disappointed. It goes without saying there's not a lot of good Mexican restaurants in the area, but La Tolteca might be the best choice if you're craving Mexican. read more

La Tolteca - Mexican Near Me - Crofton, Maryland

I ordered a chicken chimichanga (fried) and a chicken quesadilla from La Tolteca via Uber Eats. The chicken was tough and chewy because it wasn't fresh and certainly wasn't prepared properly. They dump a ton of sour cream over the top (see picture) which rendered everything soggy. The quesadilla had nothing on it, but it was soggy as well. I honestly haven't had food this disappointing in a while. I went from hoping I could have a go-to spot for food to knowing I would never pay money for this again. Even the bag of tortilla chips was stale and not enjoyable at all. Pretty annoyed overall and I would say this place is a hard pass. read more

This place here! This place right here! The food is amazing this is my second go round and I will be coming back. I had one of the House Specialties, which is literally enough for two people(depending on your appetite). It included One Chalupa, one Chile Relleno, one beef taco, one enchilada, and one tamale. All were sooo good. Oh and let's not forget about their fresh Guacamole. To die for.. The service is always amazing and if they are uncertain about what you ordered, they will come back to make sure they don't mess up your order. The ambiance is super chill with a Mexican vibe. If you're in the area, check it out, they won't disappoint. read more

Busy place with hard working folks. Extensive menu at reasonable prices. However - the prices on the menu are not correct and the establishment does point this out. I recognize menu printings are expensive but if you order here you are signing a blank check. This set up may be ok for a transition but if you decide to raise the prices you should get new menus. This current set up is quite bad. Food was good. I hope they get new and accurate menus soon. read more

Well, this is my first time and most certainly will not be the last. The food was, mediocre but the drinks however were outstanding! The interior is cute, beauty's artwork all Uber with a few embellishments hanging from the ceiling. Service was great, my waitress was very attentive and checked on me periodically but not to the point of being obnoxious. I ordered the following: Guacamole: 6/10 it lacked seasoning, however wasn't so bad after I added some hot sauce. Chicken quesadilla: 8:10 it has a good flavor, nice protein size but could have been elevated with some pico and grilled veggies Chimichangas: chicken, bean and cheese. The check was tasty, the bean was good. I did not care for the cheese, very dense and lacked flavor. The sauce that adorned the chimichangas lacked flavor but was tolerable. Drinks: patron margarita 10/10 would definitely go back for this Regular Margarita: 10/10 would go back for the drinks Overall, it's a nice spot and chill vibe for good drinks and chips with salsa, I would be okay if I didn't order the food. read more

This place is a new fave. Everything was fantastic at this restaurant. Top highlights: Food = 10/10 Drinks = 10/10 Service = 10/10 I came here on a date night Saturday after finding this restaurant on Tik Tok. I was happy that it did not disappoint. We were seated promptly and our waiter was quick coming to take our order. The food came out quickly and tasted authentic and fresh. We ordered the Casa Migos margarita pitcher and omg was it good and STRONG. Definitely a better option for a larger party, as one full glass and we were feeling it. The restaurant has a family vibe, and I appreciated how clean even the restrooms were. All in all this was a great date night. We will be adding this place to the regular rotation. read more
