We go here often. Quick and friendly service. Get anything with the rico sauce. We also love the supreme quesadillas, Philly tacos, chimichangas, and frozen lime margaritas. read more

The chori fries are fabulous, chorizo, queso, pico di gallo drenched over french fries... this is a winner in mediocre crowd. The service was great and I wish I had read my previous review before the visit. I had chicken fajitas and they were just alright, not the best I have ever eaten or the worst. They could really use some more flavor and spice, very bland. The chips and salsa were also average but the chori fries were excellent and highly recommended. It looks like they have a nice fun bar and it would be a great place for happy hour or dinner... I had lunch. I'll be in the area frequently over the next few years and I'll definitely come back and try to discover some more winners. read more

Stay away! AC wasn't working when we were there, so it was cooler outside (August). The chile colorado turned out to be steak fajitas with the same sauce that came with the tamales. Tacos were a gluey mess by the time we got home. Never again. One star because I must. read more

Food and service both excellent. Great margaritas too. Plenty of parking. The past few times they haven't had the table side guacamole which is such a great experience and you can customize. Mixed fajitas with chicken, shrimp and steak are my favorite. read more

I love this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good vibes and Mexican food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They give a lot of chips and salsa still. Staff friendly.

Never order takeout from here. Not only did they mess up our order, on Mother's Day no less, everything was soaked through in the bag when I picked it up from one of the containers spilling. I waited for 25 minutes for our missing food after mentioning to them they forgot it. I'd give 0 stars if I could. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A little loud but the service and food quality made up for any disturbance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean and obviously popular.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food was very good. It's a small chain restaurant located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. The inside feels like Mexico! The patio was also nice and felt secluded even though it was in a parking lot. The waitperson was friendly. The fish tacos were very good. They came with grilled tilapia which I prefer over fried. It came with 3 fairly big tacos and rice. The flavor was a little bland. The ground beef tacos came with 4 tacos and had much better flavor. The mole steak burrito had a very flavorful sauce and was huge! The skinny margarita was good. Topo Chico hard seltzer is also available. read more

Hey all! Im at it agaaaain- I'm visiting family and wanted nachos and found this place. What caught my attention is they had ground beef option and supreme nachos. I ordered on Uber that was fine, I called the place just to make sure everything is ok, they were friendly as well. Upon arrival, it was still warm, a little much on lettuce but the ground beef was what I was interested in. Unfortunately, I was disappointed, wasn't seasoned at all, I barely was able to get 1/4 of it down. It was just a season-less plate with lots of lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes. - I THINK I would try something else if a friend paid for me but I wouldn't recommend the nachos, sorry read more

Food is really yummy and well priced. The service isn't bad, but everything is simple and adequate. We will definitely come back since the food is some of the better Mexican in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A good meal, a clean restaurant, not bad![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went on a weekend- which is probably not the time to go. Our waitress was overwhelmed with other tables, so service was limited. I ordered the fish tacos, very bland, on a flour taco, when I had asked for corn taco. Not well seasoned. Family ordered burritos which were good. Freshly made taco chips were terrific as well as the salsa.. Premium margarita came in large goblet and worth it. When ordering from this restaurant do not order the fish tacos order something else. Serving sizes are large, so you get what you pay for. read more

It's a funny thing. I haven't been here in 7+ years because of living in San Antonio. Even then, this place was in a different location at the time. For my reunion stop I ordered a frozen margarita with chamoy and for lunch the Molé Queso burrito with steak. The burrito was huge but I felt like I should've gotten beans or rice as a side dish. I guess I should've read the menu closer. The mole sauce was kinda devoid of a kick or a sugar taste, but I thought it paired well with the queso. The steak inside was tender and just right. I'll be back to try out more of the menu. read more

Went in for lunch on a weekday, were seated quickly for two. plenty of chips and salsa was good. Ordered breakfast burrito and Tecas enchiladas (both vegetarian). I am not exaggerating but both dishes tasted awesome. The sauces on both were exceptional. The burrito had a white creamy sauce and an enchiladas came with a red sauce. They have decent options for vegetarians. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is well decorated and a good place to hang out for lunch or dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will come again read more

I frequently DoorDash from here- easily the best Mexican food in the greater Wilmington area. Nobody is doing queso/guac like they are. However, when I went in for dinner with a relative, the service was a bit slow and inattentive. The waiter seemed upset by our requests for more chips/drink refills/checking on our food when it had been over 45 mins, etc. read more

Service was terrible. Food was so so. Some of it wasn't hot, the rice was dried out, and one of the quesadillas we ordered didn't have cheese in it. I ordered a Dos Equis lager and was served an amber. The Modelo draft was flat. Will not be a returning customer. read more

Not impressed at all with this Mexican restaurant. The guacamole is basically just smashed avocados. There is no seasoning of any sort in it. Plus mine had the stem piece in it. The refried beans are color less than flavorless. I got the mango salad with shredded chicken. The taste of the shredded chicken tasted like it was out of a can not fresh, the rest of it was good but I would never order anything with shredded chicken again. We got chicken tacos and by the time we got home a whole six minute drive they were completely soggy. They give no extra sauce of any sort and no sauce with my corn chips and guacamole or should I say mashed avocado? They offer Molé sauce on some items. I asked them if they made it fresh or if it was out of a jar. They said jar. The flan is not rich and creamy the way flan should be I found texture and flavor subpar. No reason to go back to this restaurant other people than the convenience of it being five minutes away. read more

The horchata was definitely made with tap water and powder. The tortillas were horrible... it was soggy and wet and stale on the ends and couldn't bite through the edges. The ceviche had big lumps of shrimp and some whole shrimp and was lazily cut up. The meat in the taco weren't seasoned at all. Food was not good at all! The rice was very hard and old because when i trying to bite it would crunch. the service was good and staff were friendly just a shame that the food itself was microwaved and stale. read more

Used to be great but the quality of the food has gone down and the prices have gone way too high...I'm going now less and less because of these two reasons , it is bad cause used to be my favorite. Service was pretty bad last time, a lady that only came once to our table, we had to ask another waiter for more water read more

Man I really wanted to like this place: there isn't a lot of Mexican in Chadds Ford, and it seems like a family-run operation. Unlike other posters, we had a friendly experience with very good servers. Unfortunately our meal just wasn't great. Super bland fajitas. Undercooked ground beef burrito (the one thing your don't want in ground beef). Ceviche was all canned baby shrimp and octopus (to be fair that's on me: never order ceviche at a place if you don't know they do it well). I am guessing there are certain things on the menu they absolutely crush (salsa was good, for example). But none of our meals were among those. The hunt for solid Mexican in the Chadds Ford area continues. read more

We went with another couple and we all thought the food was tasty and the service by Daniella was good. We had the chicken enchiladas, chicken burrito and shrimp tacos. All of the dishes came piping hot and we're very good tasting. Server was very pleasant. We will be back since we enjoyed it and live nearby. read more

Food is fine. Exactly what you can expect from a fast casual restaurant. The wait after ordering takeout online is atrocious. If the estimated time is very specifically 7:13pm, roughly a 20min wait, and I arrive at 7:15, there is little to no reason why I should still be here at 7:50. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Front staff was very accommodating, but the benches were not![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I was excited to try the new Greenville location. I recently went here for lunch. I ordered the chimichanga. It was solid, good portions and flavor. Nothing really stands out. It was pretty empty for lunch so the place felt kind of dead. I'm looking forward to trying it for happy hour read more

Been going here since it opened and even before at their old location. Always delicious food and top tier frozen margaritas. Consistently fantastic food and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great for casual dinners, and good for families.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar side section is a good option if you want to be separate from children/if youre on a date night out but still want a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm partial to the Enchiladas Mexicanas and have been getting it for more years than I would like to admit. Always serving high quality chips & salsa, flan is delicious too. read more

It took 45 minutes for my food to come out, a taco bowl. It was busy, but the service was still marginal.

Really LOUSY service. I got to the foyer at 4:45 and stood there a good 5 mins while the 2 hostesses talked and ignored me. Asked for a booth in a window, It was very busy at all. I was shown to a dark corner by a bar NO window. Sat there until 5pm before a waitress came over. Ordered a water with lemon. Didn't get that. Ordered a strawberry frozen margarita. Im positive there was no booze in at all. A waiter dropped it off after I ordered. The food came a good 15 minutes later. I did not see the waitress until I was eating the last bite. I wanted lemons. I wanted napkins. I wanted a different margarita. Guy who dropped off the food literally dropped it on the table said nothing and kept walking! I waited for a check but no waitress. At 6:30 I had to go ask for a check. it should not have been a 2 hr experience. Wont come back to many other places to pick. read more

The original La Tolteca that was located in the Fairfax Shopping Center is most likely permanently closed because they relocated to the old Chilis building farther down the road on Route 202. This new location has way more parking and a much larger footprint. The inside is very well done and quite honestly a major upgrade from that typical Mexican themed decor that adorns almost every Mexican restaurant in Delaware. The new Toleteca is modern with dark woods, pendant lighting, comfortable booths and even high tops surrounding the bar area. The menu also had some updates (I think or perhaps I had not noticed before). My date had the Fajitas Hawaiano which came to him in a scooped out pineapple bowl and included shrimp, pineapple and beef. I had the Burrito Azteca. It was ginormous and very good. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

Service was good, there was no queso when we came which was very disappointing, the salsa was watered down. My enchiladas were very good, but the margaritas did not hit. Overall it wasn't a bad experience and the service definitely made up for everything. read more

Sometimes the Yelp reviews are right on point. Decent enough food. Utterly crappy service. I realize the college golf on the TVs might be interesting to ... well... I'm the only person in the bar. So I don't know who. Ask for the Phillies game once and 15 minutes after whatever-her-name was (I might have known had she had ANY personality WHATSOEVER) who was theoretically "my server" came back. I asked again and she said someone would help out. 15 minutes later when I asked she tossed a remote (not the right one, mind you) on the bar and said "you can look". Fourth time I asked she obviously didn't I know I am bilingual (I'm a big goofy looking white guy) when she said (in Spanish) to her coworker "I'm a pain in the ass". (el hinchapelotas) End of that visit. No wonder the place is empty on a weekend. read more

Very good food, very healthy servings. I was able to take my leftovers home and feed 2 people the next day

Great place clean and super clean bathroom. Nice people but not overbearing to order. Family and fun with bar. The guacamole is delicious and fresh. read more

La Tolteca - Family and authentic Mexican Food. - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

I went to this place a while ago for a birthday. The atmosphere was ok, seems a bit tacky but lots of warm colors and lights. The music in the background is a bit cheesy though, and typical of an average American style Mexican food restaurant. The food is average, a cultureless limbo like every other Mexican food stylized to American taste buds. Nothing too special. I had a stuffed burrito which had decent flavor, but it also came with Mexican rice and black beans. Mexican rice is very hard to get right, and the flavor was just nothing special. The black beans had no texture whatsoever. At least they have margaritas. Alcohol is kinda strong, if you're a diehard tequila fan this is perfect. I would say come for just drinks, chips, salsa, and little stuff. There was quite a crowd between the managers/waiters/waitresses and some of, I'm assuming their friends, really having a blast at the bar area. I'd say don't spend over $30-$40. Overall a relaxed below average restaurant. Don't expect anything too special here. Save this place for a hangover or drink craving, not a special occasion. read more

I'm so excited to be able to write this update. After a few months of being in their new location, I feel that La Tolteca has worked out the bugs that I experienced on my first visit after the move. I've been there a few times and I've had nothing but exceptional service and delicious food. I was so excited today to find that they now offer a brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday. they have their normal menu but their brunch menu had one of my favorite foods of all time: chilaquiles! the menu offers that with a red sauce but I was so excited that they had no problems substituting that for Verde tomatillo sauce. the default option comes vegetarian which is right up my alley but you can add bacon for an additional cost. They also had horchata which I ordered as a drink and the two items together were really tasty. I'm not afraid to admit this publicly I ate every last bite of my meal and I even scraped the sauce and cheese mixture off the bowl with my fork because that good. if you haven't been back since right after the grand opening of the new location I highly recommend that you check it out. as I said I've been there multiple times since that one experience and I feel confident that La Tolteca is back! read more

terrible service during the day, I called at my house for take out and on my way I waited on hold for 10 minutes and even walked in still on hold listening to the music. After ordering in person I was then told it would take 10-15 mins for an order of chicken taquitos, an order of chips and salsa, and an order of chips and queso. This place doesn't give a flying frick about their customers. Save your tip money for workers who actually care about their patrons. read more

No doubt 5 stars! This place is awesome! Amazing Mexican food! Went here with my wife and we grabbed the queso and the hot salsa. Absolutely delicious! The queso is spot on and the hot salsa is excellent! They both go well with the free chips and salsa that they give you! For dinner we both go the al trio which comes with 3 things. 1 burrito, 1 chalupa, and 1 enchilada. It also comes with beans and rice. Nothing much but great things to say about this dish! It's very filling and gets the job done perfectly. We recommend this place to anyone and everyone. It's satisfies that Mexican craving. To top things off at the end, we got the fried ice cream and it is perfect! The service is great even with a pretty packed house! read more

Americanized or not, this is just the kind of "Mexican" food that I love!!! We usually go to the La Tolteca Express down the street, but I found myself closer to this location recently so my three loves of my life and I stopped in for a quick lunch. I had a really good chile relleno and taco combo that came with refried beans and plenty of toppings. My oldest daughter had the huevos con chorizo (eggs mixed with Mexican sausage and onions served with rice, beans and tortillas) and she enjoyed it. My middle daughter - a vegetarian - had her usual: the spinach enchiladas (two soft corn tortillas filled with spinach and cheese; covered with green tomatillo sauce and cheese, served with rice and beans). Sadly, my youngest didn't really enjoy the nachos that she ordered - there was nowhere near enough cheese, while they were overloaded with all the other toppings. Not enough cheese is a big no-no when it comes to nachos! Something also happened with her second Cherry Temple (it was made with plain water and the cherry juice) but we didn't bother sending it back because we getting ready to leave anyway. Anyway, the service was okay - not the best ever but not the worst either. I would definitely come to this location again sometime. read more

Food was delicious. No problem there but the last two times we've been the service has been terrible. Servers don't come and check on you to refill drinks or to see if you need anything else. We've been when it's not particularly busy so there's no excuse for this - it looks like the servers like to congregate and look at their phones. read more

I placed an order online on a Sunday. It took 65 minutes before it was ready. And although I was waiting, most of the food was cold. The queso was warm, at least, and very good. Ordered fajitas and they didn't include tortillas. How is my son going to eat them? It was a huge bowl, at least. Also got carne asada, which was pretty good. Cold, but good. The pepper thing that came with it was pretty good. My wife got the taco salad, which she liked at lot. The chips were burnt and bitter, thankfully I had some chips at home for the queso. For $16 expect better. Overall, a pretty mixed experience. They have potential. read more
