the food would be really good if it was hot, but every time i pick my order up, the beans and rice are cold and the rest of the order is lukewarm read more

Pretty standard "mexican." Good value for the money. Large portions. Fish tacos were tasty.

I brought my son and grand daughter. Fun place healthy food decor great for families. Only problem was the music playing. Traditional Mexican music is great but all you could hear was distorted base and no treble or voices it was annoying. read more

Monday's fajita night is not to be missed! We ordered a generous sized pitcher of a delicious and very strong Margaria and three meals. The bill was fifty dollars. The food was so flavorful and its worth the trip just for the chips and salsa. It wasn't too crowded, but we were sitting at a bar top and couldn't get service until we asked for it. Definitely a great little place when you're craving some standard Mexican food. read more

This place is small and cozy. The table side guacamole is awesome, she made it at your table. The chips were ok, they gave use ranch sauce and salsa ,no cheese we all were looking for cheese and they did bring us cheese. I order steak burrito 9.99 or 10 (lol) It was a large burrito. I thought rice and beans were going to be separate. It was all mixed together. It was ok. Service was good. 4 star for guacamole. Party of 8 and everyone was happy and full. read more

Vegetarian options and some awesome Pico de gallo kept me happy. Good service and decently tasty food, I'll come back next time I'm in town.

Quality has gone down over time. Carne Asada and Pollo dishes are always way over cooked.

Love this place, don't know why the low rating. Food is always great and service is on the slow side but not bad.

Yum, yum, yum! We've tried half a dozen Mexican Restaurants in the last year and this place is the best by far. The fresh guacamole was the best we've had. The beef and chicken were tasty and moist. The taco salad was yummy and the fajitas were very good. Portions are generous and the atmosphere was fun. We will definitely be back. I rarely give a 5, but this place deserves it. read more

Fresh guacamole. Chips and dips. Great service. Fun decor. Large menu full of combinations sure to please everyone. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants around me that are much closer. Id rather drive farther for La Tolteca. read more

The staff is always friendly, the food is always good no matter what we order. We love the salsa and crema that comes with the chips

Literally my favorite, good customer service topped with a delicious Margarita, what is more perfect????!?!?1! The pineapple fajita's are LIFE. read more

I've never had a bad meal at any location, 7-8 years running. Prices are very reasonable, food ALWAYS tastes fresh, and staff are very friendly. read more

I love their fresh guacamole. Service is fine. It's close to home and very affordable for a family of 4.

Well prepared Mexican food at great prices. I love this place and eat there often. The menu is extensive with various beef, chicken, seafood and vegetarian options. I especially like the quesadilla rellena and the beef tips tacos. They also make fresh guacamole table side. The staff is friendly and attentive. read more

I hope we just came here on a bad night bc we certainly did not have the same experience. Over cooked rice, mushy food, and my quesadilla looked nothing like the picture so one on Yelp took. read more

This is the best La Tolteca location by far. The food and service is always outstanding. The chorizo street tacos are my favorite! Also, they serve a 32 oz. frosted mug of Dos Equis for $7 :) Great lunch specials, too. read more

My steak burrito was ok. The rest of my table ordered different dishes, all w/ ground beef stuffing... and they all tasted the same even tho they were different dishes. The ground beef has some kind of aftertaste to it. I can't describe it except that it tastes like it has added liver meat (I happen to like liver, just not ground up.) I was pretty disappointed considering how well-recommended this place was. The first time we tried to dine there, the long lines turned us away but thought it must be good enough to return. Likely not returning again. read more

Really well done! The guac cart is a fantastic idea and it really was the best I've had. You can't get any fresher than tableside! The food was really good as well. I had a shrimp taco that I had to eat with a knife and fork, it was so big...and delish! read more

Great food, real friendly people, and prompt service. The chori pollo is a great dish, I believe it is #134

Charlotte - Took the family here and it was pretty good. Customer Service was great and food was wonderful. For a Friday night it was busy but the wait wasnt long and the food was worth it. read more

Pretty typical middle of the road mexican joint. Don't let the 3 stars fool you. This place is tasty, just nothing special. I got the speedy. It was good. The only thing we didn't get that looked pretty good was the table side guacamole. read more

This is always packed but worth the wait. They make guacamole at the table. 32 oz mugs of Dos Equis and great Mexican food. Four of us for $80 with tip. Good deal and great eats. One of our regular places. read more

Best guacamole I've ever had. Made fresh at your table and you can customize the ingredients. Service was awesome, food came out quickly, and large portions for the price. Lots of vegetarian options! I can't wait to go back again. read more

This place serves delicious food, has fair prices, and the service has always been on par.

The food is great, tasty and reasonably price. Love the Salsa, Burrito and Magarita. The location I ate at was 2134 Boston St Baltimore MD.

Awesome margaritas! And their chips are great, and free. Servers are always attentive and nice. Great spot if you're in the mood for good Mexican food. read more

I have gone to this La Tolteca a few times and every time is a very good experience, I am a big fan of their white salsa that they bring out every time before they serve you your meal. I usually get the same thing, the cal ripken burritto because it is too good, but I have had a couple other options and they have a overall good menu. The ground beef tacos are some of better tacos I have tasted. Overall I am a big fan of this place and I will definitely continue to come here read more

I have been coming here since it opened years ago. It is my favorite Mexican hot spot for food. I have never had a bad meal and service is always quick and friendly. I love the complimentary chips and salsa which they will refill for no charge. It's reasonably priced and a fun place to dine. read more

Very good Mexican food. It would be about average in LA, but Belair isn't LA...

The salsa is delicious. This place is always packed, even on a Monday. Steak tacos are fantastic. The interior is eclectic. Parking can be a pain, but the food is worth it. read more

The food and prices were good. Our only complaint was that it was a long wait for a table and for our food. Unfortunately, when you have young kids (4, 6 year old), you don't have the luxury of a long wait for rice and beans. Most Mexican places have food out extremely fast - here, not so fast. It took a lot longer than we thought it should have for dinner service. Atmosphere is great, though. read more

Food is delicious and the service is quick. Free chips, salsa and a white sauce. Very affordable and always leave there stuffed!

The food is fabulous, the specials are a super bargain, and this is comfort food at its best. Of all the different La Tolteca's we have tried-we like the Bel Air location the best. Mary comes to the tableside and prepares perfect guacamole exactly to your own taste. It is a small town restaurant where they remember you and offer big time value at small town prices!!! read more

We have been coming to La Tolteca in Bel Air for 10 years and always loved it. Lately, I have been very disappointed with the level of service and quality of food. Many of the waiters have been there as long as I can remember and their service is sub par. They take forever to come to your table to get your drink order and you are almost supposed to act like its a privilege for them to wait on you. The last two times I dined there I waited over 40 minutes to get my food and the waiter never came back to ask about drink refills or bring you to go boxes. They need to step up their game with the amount of competition that has flooded Bel Air. read more

Good mexican food. Great prices particularly for lunch outings. Lots of food served. Some of the food tends.to be greasy but that comes with the territory. read more

Authentic, yummy, always polite and clean. Maybe my favorite Mexican place. Definitely better than the other La Toltecas... Just small and crowded. read more

The fresh guacamole is divine. Ive never had a bad meal at LaTolteca at any time or any location. YUM!!

I recently made a trip to Denver, CO and was pleasantly surprised with a few Mexican restaurants and their ability to consistently serve big tasty portions at a price that did not break the bank. Returning to Harford County, my taste buds begged for more. This said, this review is somewhat biased considering my recent experiences. However, Denver, CO is hardly known for its Mexican cuisine- it's not like I was in Mexico, Southern California or even Texas. Onto the review... Upon entering the parking lot of La Tolteca, my expectations were quite high. The restaurant's landscaping and architecture easily catches peoples' eyes as they drive through Bel Air. It seems like I've never heard a bad review from this place, everyone seems to love it. Anyway a friend and I entered the place, and the decor is obnoxious at least. Its just overdone in my opinion. Cheesy Mexican flair run abundant with 10 or so pinatas and LaTolteca engraved in various wooden pieces throughout the restaurant. This might have an advantage in helping to attract people who are completely ignorant of Mexican culture and probably small children. The chips and salsa were okay. They serve a basket with 2 different dips. A standard salsa and a mysterious white dipping sauce. We ended up splitting an order of Nachos with Cheese, and 2 Grande Burros. For nearly $5 I was expecting the nachos to be better than they were. It was basically less chips than was served at the beginning of our meal, smothered with jalapeno Velveeta tasting cheese. They tasted like they had been sitting for awhile because the chips had begun to become soggy tasting. The waitress didn't seem very attentive, so I would not be surprised if they did. However, I'm not going to lie- we did eat all of the chips so they weren't terrible, just was expecting better. The burritos were also fair at best. My friend requested no sour cream and onions. My burrito came with no onions, and his was loaded with onions with no sour cream. The quality and taste of the chicken and peppers in my burrito were pretty good, as was the guacamole. There was a heavy "taco seasoning" type of sauce that was in the burrito that wasn't very appealing. The rice was dotted with dehydrated peas and carrot bits and was a bit old tasting. I'd give the burrito a 6.5/10. I would have been disappointed had I been my friend however, as he picked out probably a half onion worth of onions in his burrito I'm not sure if we just didn't order the right things or what, but if a Mexican restaurant can't produce quality nachos and burritos- they're in trouble. However, many of the local folk seem to like this place. Maybe they just haven't had good Mexican food or maybe after a few margaritas, the quality and taste of the food doesn't matter so much. Chipotle anyone? Won't be back! read more

I love the food and the atmosphere. It is much better then Chipotle, Qudoba, and Don Pablos which are really the only other places around. I am a fan of the 124 with chicken :) read more
