Average food for this area, salsa and chips are not the greatest and absolutely no heat in the salsa but at least they have 3 hot sauces on table to spice them up with. Have had the enchilada,burrito,tamale combo and the fajitas both are nothing special but what you would expect. read more

I came in here with my boyfriend and we have had this place may times and it was delicious. But this time we ordered the steak tacos and it smelt horrible and tasted even worst. Then we told them about the food being bad and they brought a new plate out. It was the same way and when we go to leave they made us pay for the food that was so disgusting we couldn't eat. I asked why I had to pay if it was not edible and they threatened to call the cops on me for asking that. Wouldn't waste your time or money going here. read more

Excellent food, very quick service. This place is newly opened, but has already became one of our family's favorites. We've been a couple times and have always been impressed. It's definitely one of the better ones in town as far as I'm concerned. The only thing I've found so far that I like better somewhere else is the chips. That's only because I like the thin, flour tortilla chips better than the thicker corn tortilla chips like they use. Their chips are very good, I just prefer flour. I think the corn is probably more authentic though since that's what most places I've been to use. Their chicken quesadilla is terrific as is their fajita taco salad. read more

Yummy food. Friendly staff. All customers seemed very happy with their meal and service too. Put this one on your YES list.

Nice clean and cheery place. It's been overcast and raining most of our Route 66 trip on MO - the large windows and very brightly painted main room was needed. We ordered lunch enchiladas and they were tasty and inexpensive. The staff was friendly and the service fast. The perfect stop on our long road trip. read more

La Tolteca - La Tolteca Menu - Latin American Near Me - Lebanon, Missouri

See all

First time going here stopped to visit a friend, wanted mexican food today. This place doesnt even know the difference between a chaulpa, and tostada? When I asked the young waiters never came back. I asked for no beef or pork. And they brought me a beef taco. I asked them to bring me chicken taco, they dumped out the beef left some in and put chicken in it. soggy shells burrito looked like a enchilada. skinny and not what I expected, I ate it because I was hungry, but horrible service. and bad horrible place. if i had any allergies, I'd be in the ER. Not real steak for carna. steakem. I don't live in area, or Missouri. Missouri show me state, that they cant do mexican food. read more

Stopped to eat by chance, just driving through Lebanon. This was the best Mexican food I've ever had. I had the chicken chimichanga. So yummy! The food was fast and the refried beans were amazing!!! Best flavor I've ever had. The waitress said the beans made fresh. I can tell. Can't wait to come back next time we're driving through again. read more

I have had a few great experiences at this restaurant! The staff is very friendly and accomodating. We had a group of 15 that just showed up and they did everything they could to quickly get a table ready. Plus, if you want to split the check in a big group, they will put the order in all together and then let you split it at the cash register. The food is excellent and has a different, richer twist than most of the "authentic" Mexican restaurants that have come about in the last 10 or 15 years. The quality of the food was excellent too, and once again, different than others in the area. The decor is lively and kid friendly (tall booth backs so you don't bug the people behind you) . They also have outdoor seating, which is unique in this area. read more

"Meh" is accurate. The carne asada tacos were a bit rubbery, a bit bland. They were also smothered in some kind of creamy, runny sauce that added no flavor and only made the tortillas soggy. The free chips and salsa were quite good, as were the beans and rice. The service was competent though inattentive. My husband has eaten here before and he said it used to be better, so I will give this place another chance, but just one. read more

This place is average, the food is average, the service is average. Nothing great stuck out to me. The prices were reasonable. I had the Las Limas, which was good, nothing to write home about and my wife had the enchiladas, she said they were good, however she's 6 months pregnant and not picky. My son, 3, enjoyed his quesadilla. Overall I wouldn't turn this option down for food but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Beware the Chile relleno. I am certain the dish I attempted to eat had been hidden in a dark corner of the walk-in cooler for the last six months before it was served to me. It was definitely freezer burnt and had been half heated - just enough to make it nice and soggy. Three bites in and I was done. I also can't prove any connection but I was slightly ill for a few days after eating there. read more

This place is awesome. Cheap, but very well-made margaritas, amazing tamales (well all of their food is awesome tbh), very friendly staff, and it's super clean and affordable!! This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Will come back everytime I'm in town for surrrrre!!! read more

These ladies went above and beyond to make me a margarita the way I wanted it. I'm very particular and a tequila snob and they made one of the best margaritas I've had. Chips were great!! This is always a good sign. Again the service was amazing very pleased with our sweet waitress Beth was wonderful. My T bone was cooked perfect the beans and rice were good. The t bone was a bit fatty but at $11.99 I can't complain that's extremely fair price. read more

Pretty decent food, decent prices, and the restaurant has a lot of space. The prices are reasonable. I've eaten here a couple of times and haven't been disappointed. Nothing amazing to write home about, just overall pretty good food. When the weather is good, the outdoor seating is nice. I'm a vaper and they allowed me to vape in the outdoor area. read more

I'm not gonna rip this place just to do it. I'm just gonna tell my experience. Appearance of the inside is .... not Latin. Bad attempt. I ordered a water and a steak dish with tomatoes, onions, peppers, rice and beans, and a margarita. The water tasted like it had dirt in it. Strike 1. The dish looked pretty good. But when cutting into the "steak", it was nothing but FAT. STRIKE 2. The one time the guy came around to ask how it was I said it was good but the steak is fatty. He said sorry. That's it. Didn't fill up my dirt water, or ask if I wanted another margarita, just put the ticket on the table. And I couldnt tell for the life of me what kind of steak it was...if it was steak. First and last visit. read more

I couldn't believe the amount of vegetarian options that they have at this place. I thought the chips and salsa were very good, which is the first thing that usually gets judged when you go to a Mexican restaurant. The service was very excellent, and the food comes quickly. Great portions, and they had Dos Equis amber on tap. It's always much better on tap than in the bottle. read more

La Tolteca is the latest addition to the Lebanon restaurant scene. Though it's not the only Mexican restaurant in town, it's one of the best. It also has one feature which no other Lebanon-area restaurant can claim...an outdoor patio! After moving here from Colorado, my wife and I have had a hankering for a cold drink in the sun. La Tolteca is now our new warm weather eatery. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. If you live in Lebanon, you owe it to yourself to partake of a Margarita in the sun at La Tolteca! read more

The only reason this place gets a star is because I have to select something. We will not be returning ever to this place. We decided to enjoy the day and sit outside on the patio. The attitude of the staff was horrible to begin with. We were at least brought our drinks but they were set on the far side of the table. We then sat for about 30 mins before I had to get up and go in and ask for someone to take our order. The woman who came and took our order was rude. Then the owner came and apologized to us and was rude as well. The owner brought our food and my order was completely wrong. The owner argued with me about my order. I told her it was fine I couldn't wait for the correct food because I had to be somewhere. Her attitude was just as atrocious as the servers. Worst part is we paid 25 bucks to have horrible service and wrong food. The food was not the best and chips were stale. All in all, we will not be going back ever. read more

Good chips and salsa. Coconut margarita is delicious. Food is yummy and good portion sizes. Wait staff can be a little slow but very nice. The churros are very yummy get them every time we come. Best Mexican restaurant in Lebanon. read more

Incredible service, margaritas were really good. Tacos AL carbon was one of the best I've had. Fresh cilantro, onions, and jalapeño. Traveling in Missouri and found this place, had a nice little patio. Drink specials. read more

Sat there for over 15 minutes without ever laying eyes on a server, meanwhile tables around me were getting their food. When we were FINALLY waited on, I made it a point to let her know how long we'd been sitting. Apologies all around. Food came..it was so so. Not nearly enough flavor, none to be exact. The bill came - Oh my god! They couldn't even comp our tea after leaving us sitting forever. A disappointment of a $60 dinner. I won't be back. read more

This was my first time here. I was told by a coworker to try the Shrimp Quesadilla. It was delicious! It comes with beans and rice but I got only beans. The server was very friendly and fast. I will definitely return to try something else!! read more

we eat often & the food is great & reasonable, the service is fast lady who runs the place is friendly, she needs to learn the English language better but that doesn't take away from the place. would recommend to anyone. also anyone under the age are not allowed in the bar section which is wonderful & should be done by all restaurants. excellent. read more

HORRIBLE!!! Horrible food. Horrible margarita. Horrible service. Over priced and not clean. Ewwww

Great margaritas, not too limey. The salsa and guac were bland, but there are three hot sauces on the table so you can spice it to your taste. The tacos al carbon were flavorful but salty. DON'T order the tamales; they're huge and dense, but all masa, very little filling. They try to compensate by smothering them with sauce and ground beef, but it just doesn't work. read more

The food is good but the service is terrible and the waitress was cleaning tables extremely loud and it was very distracting from out meal. As I was walking out I stepped on a thumb tack and punctured through my foot. All the manager did was apologize and have us on our way. It was very rude and I will not be coming back read more
