Definitely my go-to spot whenever I visit Williamsburg! I love how family oriented the staff is, they always bring a smile to my face. Jay is a phenomenal hard worker and she knows the menu like the back of her hand!! I was quizzing her on their wide selection of entrees and I was genuinely in awe when she answered every single one of my questions correct. She is amazing and so deserving of every good thing that comes her way. This restaurant and the family that runs it reminds me of the true beauty of Mexico and the authentic culture and family values we share. read more

My go-to Mexican restaurant in Williamsburg. Family owned and operated for years, so there's great customer service throughout. It's also close to the historic area when I'm there on business, and since it's a comfy quiet place, it's perfect for meetings, or just relaxing. The choriopollo is outstanding, with some kick. And always a generous serving. The huevos rancheros are hard to beat. I always have a great meal here. read more

Fantastic food and service. We had a large party and they were very accommodating. The carne asada tacos were delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Fresh. Tasty. Value. Great wait staff decent ambiance. A decent find I. The burg for Mexican good. What more do you need. read more

The food here was great. The portions were pretty big. This was a lot of food. The inside was pretty busy and my food was ready very quickly. The person who took my order and brought my food out was very nice. I ordered bean burritos with beans and rice. The taste was authentic and it was cooked perfectly. The salsa was pretty good with minimal spice. Flavors were on point though. read more

La Tolteca - 1. Bean Burrito, Cheese Enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

We've been coming here for years, always having a great experience. Last night, we overheard the woman at the next table describing her favorite Mexican dish to the server, wondering if it was somewhere on the menu. The server said he'd ask the kitchen to duplicate what she'd described. When her meal arrived, I asked her about it, and she said it was perfect. I could see that, like our meals, it also was plentiful. That's the kind of personal, generous service we've come to expect at La Tolteca. read more

Amazing fajitas. Great staff. I would recommend this to anyone who is a stickler for good steak. I can't say enough about how good the staff and ambiance was. read more

I loved the mole! It's under "house specialties" on the menu and it definitely should be! It comes with guacamole salad, rice and tortillas. Ask for corn if you eat here- it's not what's used with their tacos. It is a crazy delicious sweet corn thing. read more

This is my first time ordering from them. I did a DoorDash order from them. I asked for no beans, no rice and no peppers. All three came on my Buttito Fajita. I am extremely disappointed. I don't like spending money on food I don't want. I will never order from them again. read more

It's a solid Mexican restaurant. They aren't reinventing the wheel with the menu but I've eaten here several times and it's always tasty. The mule was made with fresh ginger and mango puree and very enjoyable. The service is always fast and good, and the inside is very pretty. read more

This is more of a 3.5 star (Yelp give us a half star option please!) but I'll give you a breakdown of why. Food-wise- Loved the Chile rellano- not fried but literally just cheese in a pepper. It was the only time I have seen it made like this but it was delicious. The chicken enchiladas with mole sauce was good. I thought this was done well. Burrito-my husband had was average. He wouldn't order it again. The chips were over-cooked but they did have the famous white sauce. Was not impressed with the size of the cheese-dip. $4 for a little cup is a little ridiculous. Service was also off. Had to ask two times to get the cheese dip we had ordered for an appetizer and finally got with our meal. I'm not rushing back as there are other Mexican restaurants in the area to still try out. read more

The only problem here was what to order?! There were so many choices. Service was fast and friendly and cold drinks arrived in the blink of an eye. Salsa and chips were also immediate and devoured. Salsa was mild cantina style and more smooth than chunky. We decided on the carne asada street tacos and the Azteca burrito. The flour tacos were filled with onions, fresh cilantro and the seasoned meat. The meat was in small pieces and had me a little skeptical initially but they were seasoned well. The sauce that was served with the dish delivered the heat in a sweet tangy base. Beans and rice were added as a side and did not disappoint. The burrito was stuffed and full of flavor with fresh ingredients :rice, beans, seasoned steak and chicken, pico de fallo sauce and topped with fresh avocado. Our Arnold Palmers were even refilled without asking. The service was exceptionally fast and friendly. The atmosphere was casual with booths, tables and patio seating and clean. Didn't let the location behind a hotel fool you! Vamamos a La Tolteco rápidamente! read more

Love the food and drinks. I'm from Texas and I had no complaints about the food. I will definitely be back!

Nice little place with great food and service. While family is visiting from Texas and stumbled across La Tolteca after touring nearby Colonial Williamsburg. I'd return if I lived in the area. read more

We ate here on the evening of August 29,2023, the food was very good and served quickly. The service was very efficient even when we asked for additional tomatoes and lettuce for the tacos. The ambiance is a hodgepodge of all things from Central America and kind of cluttered but still efficient and workable. Overall this is a good safe place to eat with a full menu and good staff. read more

The tacos were so dry and bland, like they cooked the chicken all day long. The chips tasted like they were fried in old grease and the salsa was good, but very spicy. My son said the steak burrito was OK. This will not be on our list when we visit again. read more

La Tolteca is great. Food is delicious, service is fast, and everyone there is friendly and hospitable. 100% recommend.

This is me and my husband's go to spot for Mexican food in Williamsburg. I love the cilantro in the salsa they make that comes out with the chips. The queso app is yummy, too, I'd highly recommend it. The cheese enchiladas don't skimp on the cheese and the red sauce they put on top is delicious and tasted fresh. Overall a great meal, but I might skip the veggie "chalupa" it was basically a tostada with lettuce, tomatoes and guac on top and it got soggy pretty quick. The xango dessert was a really nice finish. The staff was lovely too, thank you all for another great meal. read more

In a tourist area, this place has all the ambiance on being a local hidden gem. The service was great and the food delicious. Previous reviews about good tasting and bountiful portions was on the mark. It a place well worthy the effort to find. read more

I was a regular here twenty years ago, but with a new job and moving out of town, it's been a minute. But it's the second night of Dia de los Muertos, and it's cold and wet and dark, and I wanted Mexican food. Walking through the door was like coming home. The same décor, the same music, the same wonderful people running the place- I swear they've hardly changed a bit. And the same amazing food. These guys have, hands down, some of the best coffee in Williamsburg. I got a cup, and mi Esposa got a hot tea- regular old Lipton, but still hot and good. The tortilla chips -made in-house, as is the thin yet delicious salsa- were warm and crispy with just a hint of salt. They disappear pretty quickly! Mi Corazon got the Burrito Azteca. It is enormous! Stuffed with grilled meat, beans, and rice, it comes with a generous portion of pico de gallo, and is topped with most of an avocado. I got the Burritos Bravo. This is two burritos stuffed with beef chiles rellenos, served with refritos and rice, and covered with red enchilada sauce and cheese sauce. I immediately set one aside for lunch tomorrow. I had too, or I would 100% have eaten the whole plate and licked it clean, and been all fat and sassy. They have a good selection of desserts, and at one time I was too familiar with them all. Which is why my other burrito is in a box despite my burning desire to scarf it down. For all of this? $32.66 before tip, and that includes the justly infamous meals tax Williamsburg uses to fleece locals and tourists alike. You cannot get a better Mexican meal in Williamsburg than at La Tolteca. I've said so since 1991, and I'm delighted to see that it's still absolutely verdad. read more

The kids and I come here either before or after Busch Gardens. Of the Mexican places we have tried in the area this is our favorite. The food has always been great and the place is never packed so the hungry kiddos don't have to wait and I don't have to hear, "I am so hungry!" Or "I'm dying!" The parking is behind the restaurant so it can be a little confusing when you pull into the place. It's easy to miss so make sure u slow down so you don't dry past it! read more

Fell in love w this place in a night. Our server was great. Prices were great. The food and drinks were great. Small place that we actually drove by based on the front but decided to still go check it out and glad we did. They have parking behind it. The chorizo and cheese was amazing. The chicken fajitas were good. My friend enjoyed her combo of enchilada, soft taco and hard taco read more

First of all we went there for Cinco de Mayo and of course they were very busy and had a limited menu. I had the taco salad, it's pretty small and had chicken from a can and beef was not good either. So I don't recommend the taco salad. My husband had tacos and he was disappointed too. I really wanted to like La Tolteca since I live just around the corner. Maybe we will try them again in a night with their full menu read more

Great food, super fast service. The staff was extremely welcoming and nice. We ordered the steak fajita nachos and they were 10/10

Delicious food. Nice staff. I do not recommend the fried ice cream dessert (tasted iced/freezer burnt) but I'm not willing to deduct points for that because they were kind enough to remove the dessert off the tab and serve us a complimentary dessert of our choosing. With that being said, the flan is to die for. I have the spicy carnitas and my wife had the flautas. The agua frescas are actually agua frescas. They were so fresh, huge, and delicious. Last but not least, don't forget to ask for white sauce with the complimentary chips. Oh and the wings! How could I forget about the wings! They were delicious, large, and extra crispy (with no sacrifice to the juiciness within) over 10/10 experience they made us feel at home read more

The good, service was friendly and restaurant was clean. The bad, carne asada was burnt and inedible same with my grandsons chicken nuggets. The waiter knew we didn't eat the carne asada or his nuggets and didn't ask any questions. We paid for everything but don't think we will be back. read more

Don't eat here, just don't. It was okey but there are probably better choices near by. My son had really bad upset stomach/diarrhea within an hour of eating here. (Maybe just a coincidence) My margarita tasted like water, they left out the tequila for sure. I've had many carnitas from all over and I have to say this was not quit right. The waitress assured me that only tacos have sauce when I asked for some type of green sauce/ or cilantro and onion . I guess there was a reason only a couple cars in the parking lot on a Saturday night. I let my son pick the place for dinner. There are many other Mexican options within 5min or so.... Id go to one of them. read more
