I'm new to Maryland with my job so had to try and find my new Mexican food spot when I come and visit and this is it. It was a Wednesday but there was only one other car in the parking lot so I just sat at the bar. Dave and Iris waited on me and were very welcoming. It didn't seem like the chips were fresh because it was so dead but I'd expect them to be warm on a busier day. The guac was good and salsa has some kick. I asked Dave what's his face tequila he's into and he said he used to drink the Cabo Wabo quite a bit so we tried that. I love chorizo so anything with it goes to the top of my list. They had a lot of different options of food but I went with the El Gordo burrito. The chorizo was perfectly spicy and I used my leftover guac to put on top which made it perfect. Dave was incredibly nice and we talked about all sorts of things. This was a place that gets five stars because the people working put it over the top. They played music videos from YouTube where I learned who Romeo Santos is so good music too. Worth giving it a shot for sure. read more

My husband and I went there for a late lunch last week. The service and food were excellent. We were served hot chips to dip in a amazing salsa. The salsa was not too spicy, just perfect. Our lunches were delicious! The restaurant is extremely clean and festive in decor. If you haven't been there, you are truly missing out. I highly recommend! read more

I met a friend for lunch today in Owings Mills. She suggested this place. This was the most uninspired Mexican food I have had in years. It was lunchtime, but only two or three tables were filled. Our server was pleasant and cute, but her command of the language was clearly inadequate. My friend ordered chicken fajitas. I ordered the chicken quesadilla from the lunch menu. I got fajitas too. Maybe everybody gets fajitas. And the chicken strips & veggies were pretty tasteless. The refried beans were the consistency of gravy. Chips and salsa had no flavor. At the end, when the check came, for about $38 for two, we planned to split it. We asked the server to bring us change for a $20 so we would have smaller bills for the gratuity. She did not understand. She seemed to think the $20 was her tip on the $38 order. So I asked for a manager, who explained to her about "cambio," and then we got change we needed so we could start over. Whew. Not a fun outing. read more

Very good food. Very authentic and tasty. The server that we had was very good quick and actually quite funny. I'm bald. I dropped my ski cap on the floor. She sees it she looks at me and said you dropped your hat and YOU are really going to need it !!! LOL. The ambiance and the looks of the place is great and clean. The table art is stunning. read more

Food, selection and service was great! Price was very reasonable and serving sizes were good.

Changed happy hour prices by more than half and no more specials. Used to enjoy coming here.

everytime I order from here, I'm reminded of why I don't order from there. how do you make a soggy quesadill. Cockeysville is much better. won't be ordering from here again. considering how many Mexican restaurants there are in this area, you might want to learn how to put a quesadilla in a togo container without it getting soggy so that people will choose your restaurant vs You others read more

La Tolteca - Mexican Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

Wanted to have a bite (used carryout) while watching the Ravens game at home. I thought we'd try this, wanting some nachos supreme....and chili Rellenos. Also, a steak (tough-burnt) enchiladas. To say this was just awful was giving it a lot. Everything was cold. I am not sure they even heated the items up. Stone cold. There was one slice of a tomato (one very small piece) in the nachos, I don't know if it was meant to be there. The nachos were mushed up. No one is ever in the parking lot, now I see why. read more

I loved this place!!!!! Soon as I stepped out of my car I knew I would love this place once inside everything was confirmed 10 times over. They have great music playing outside to awaken your spirts and to prepare you to be transported to some authentic Mexican dinning. Once inside the colors.....oh the colors are everywhere and your eyes just dance over all the beautifully decorated chairs and booths. To the bar I strolled, the bar area is huge and very well stocked. The menu is several pages so order a beverage then take your time to peruse the menu and read all the descriptions. So many tasty options it's kind of hard to choose (that's why you come back many times to try something new each visit). I went with the Hawaiian fajitas. The description sounded tempting and the actual presentation was amazing. The dish hit all the main points; looked good, smelled good, tasted good and was well worth the $23. I confirmed they have Taco Tuesday ($1.99 beef,chicken, pork)......I'll be back!!!!!!!!!!!!! O yea.....the margaritas come in goblet size glasses, 1 should do ya lol read more

Visiting the area for a conference. Found La Tolteca based on the online reviews, but should have known something was up when there were only 10 vehicles in the parking lot at 630 on a Friday. Ambiance is nice. Place seemed clean. Waitress must have been new because she didn't know much about the menu. Food was ok (the guac was great and a decent portion for the price). Prices were good for the quantity of food you get. My only complaint...the margarita. My friend and I both ordered frozen margaritas. I think they forgot the tequila because usually by the first few sips I can feel it, but after drinking the whole beverage I think she gave us a virgin and not an adult beverage. The beverage price was less than what I usually pay for a margarita, so maybe you get what you pay for. Wouldn't go back. read more

On a weekday night, I met up with friends for a quick bite. It took some time for us to be served, however. They were busy, but the restaurant wasn't even half full. This is a large space with TVs, a bar, a lot of noise, and music. When we were served, I found the frozen margarita to be large, but far too icy, and the chalupa was messy and suprisingly, not much different from a taco - served without the meat, tons of lettuce. The menu is wide and diverse. Too many options to do so much so well, I think. Atmosphere is pretty important to me when dining. So I was pretty disappointed with how bright and large this space is. Certainly, it is great for crowds and large get togethers, but not cozy meet ups. I will probably visit again for another shot. read more

Pretty cool spot but I have mixed feelings. I came here to celebrate cinco de Mayo and I saw some really great reviews. The drinks were excellent but my entree didn't meet my expectations. I ordered the steak tacos and some of the steak was cooked too long. On the flip side, the shrimp dip is highly recommended and it's a perfect appetizer to get if you want some light but filling at the same time. I plan on coming back to check out some other options and hopefully have a better entree read more

La Tolteca - Drink number 1 - Mexican Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

I would say it's just ok. I ordered as a first try using DoorDash. I got 3 tamales, rice, refried beans, guacamole, queso and chips, and sweet tea to drink. To start the tamales had so much sauce and seasoning on them that's all I could taste they were not good at all. The guacamole had started to brown I tried to mix it up thinking maybe it's just the top but it was a consistent color throughout. The sweet tea tasted like it had artificial lemon juice in it I grabbed a sprite that I had in the refrigerator and had that. So I had rice, refried beans and queso for dinner. Sorry to say I will likely not order from this place again. read more

La tolteca is a Mexican restaurant located on Reisterstown road. I visited here with my boyfriend on a weekend evening and we were literally the only people there which kind of scared me. However, the food wasn't bad! We were started with free chips and salsa, which is always appreciated. I ordered the horchata which came in a huge glass about the size of my head and i never thought i would finish it but it was so delicious, i actually did finish the whole thing. My boyfriend ordered the strawberry margarita which was huge as well but also equally delicious. We shared the Jalisco sampler which came with cheese quesadillas, stuffed shrimp, taquitos, stuffed jalapeños and a chicken chimichanga. After eating this sampler we were honestly stuffed. The quesadilla and the stuffed shrimp was delicious, my favorite things from the sampler. I ordered the street tacos for my entree and the meat (chicken and steak) weren't too seasoned, the tacos were about a 5.5/10 in my opinion, very bland. My boyfriend ordered the chori pollo (chicken topped with chorizo with a side of rice and refried beans) it came with a tortilla on the side as well! He liked his meal. Overall, i would return to order the quesadilla and the stuffed shrimp and for the horchata for sure. Location is easy to find, lots of parking available, staff is friendly as well! read more

The Reisterstown La Tolteca is trash. My family and I went here not too long ago and there was only 1 server who was also the hostess and was also helping to cook. The food was disgusting after taking forever to come out and there was a table next to us with a cat at the table!!! Truly disappointing!! Don't waste your time going here. I don't see them being open for too much longer. read more

The place is beautiful and colorful. There are so much to look all Mexican art works but foods are flavorless. No flavor at all, zero!! Party of 15 all agreed that foods are terrible. First and last visit for us. Bathroom is very dirty, two toilet paper rolls are on the floor and the toilet is clogged and flooded. They didn't clean the bathroom for two hours of our stay. Saw children of employees in the kitchen playing... read more

Their service is always quick and pleasant, but their beef burritos on the lunch menu leave quite a bit to be desired. I usually order chicken, but went a different route today. I will not be ordering beef wrapped up in anything there again. There were chunks of fat throughout and it was swimming in a layer of orange grease. Thankfully I ordered chips and queso, so I did have something else t read more

The atmosphere, service and food are the best. And the drinks are fresh and made with a lot of love.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Insane during these times when you're trying to support businesses and you're faced with rude people answering phones that "have more important things to handle" than to answer a question about my sons nut allergy. Guess what...I ordered from another restaurant read more

These guys were Lifesavers on a rainy Sunday workday, During the Coronavirus outbreak. Tacos were perfect the Queso dip was awesome.

Really like this place. I would take it over the other options in Owings Mills. We have come with groups and take out and the food and service is consistently good. I ignored it for the first few months it was open due to the poor sign out front. I wish they would spend some money on that because the inside was completely remodeled and great. Recommend the Hawaiian fajitas, street nachos and chori-pollo. read more

This place is below average. Service was very friendly but the food gave me the sh*ts. I was in the bathroom before I even left the place. Terrible location. Highly recommend stay away from this place. read more

First and last time here. All the food tasted old and reused. The drinks were weak, the servers were laughable. The tables in the booths were so far away from the actual seat, my son slipped off while reaching for his food and hit his face. I was very disappointed. What a waste of time and money. Take my advice, GO TO JOSE TEQUILAS! It's a short way from here, good prices and delicious! La Tolteca is trash! read more

I've visited other La Tolteca locations and this one has a similar vibe. The staff was very friendly both times I've gone. Chips, salsa, and dip come out immediately. The menu is extensive and I love that there are so many combo choices (although that can be overwhelming). One time we had the tortilla soup and it came out quite lukewarm/cool. That was our only disappointment. Otherwise, our fajitas came out sizzling and the portions were generous. With so many Mexican places nearby, it can be a tough call on which one to go, but La Tolteca is a pretty solid pick. The tableside guac is delicious! read more

We ordered via Door Dash and they sent cilantro lime chicken salad instead of the cilantro lime chicken entree. I also requested corn and flour tortillas and only got corn. The second entree was correct, but there was very little rice and beans and the pork was dry. I tried calling the restaurant directly, but no one answered and I got a message saying the mailbox was full read more

I was so disappointed with food that I received it was flavorless. Multiple of the people in my party thought that the food was an appetizing and gross it looks very unappealing and the service was quite swell and some of the workers were rude. I am upset that I spent my money here. After our visit to La Tolteca I was informed by one of my friends that the she had gotten food poisoning form this place. I caution you to go here and I hope you take this information into consideration if you are thinking of coming here. read more

Don't let the outside fool you! The inside is modern, clean, and beautiful. Our waiter was very friendly and gave us great service.

Okay so I'm really confused why this restaurant isn't 5 stars ?!? I've been here 5 times and it's been absolutely amazing every time! My favorite is the chori pollo, grilled chicken topped with queso and chorizo it's heaven in my mouth !!!! The margaritas are also good if you are into sweet drinks. This has become one of my favorite restaurants and my go to it deserves so much more hype! read more

I decided to order online and get it door dashed to me. I've had problems with them getting the order wrong before but ultimately wanted to give them another chance. Once again they gave me the wrong type of quesadilla. I even wrote in the special notes section to verify what I was asking for. I called three times to the restaurant. No answer. Very unprofessional and dissatisfying if you ask me. Do not go here if you want the wrong order and subpar food consistently. Take your money somewhere else and get a better quality m Edit: I called again and they answered, told me they would remake it were very kinda about it. I did have to go pick it up. MY MISTAKE FOR NOT LOOKING FIRST BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME SPAGHETTI ALFREDO!!, so many questions. Do they even sell spaghetti? read more

Literally obsessed with this place. Everything about it is amazing! I go with my coach friends after games. Great place to unwind. The margaritas are fantastic!
