    Fajita taco
    Troy K.

    Ok so on my quest for great street type tacos I have discovered the goldmine that is Dickinson. This city is full of taco trucks and Taquerias. La Tulteca is more of a traditional Taqueria. They have plenty of room inside with tables. It is a bit rustic but clean and well lit. They have coolers full of all kinds of Mexican sodas and drinks as well as a large selection of chips and snacks. I ordered at the counter and went with the classic fajita taco along with an Al pastor. At the last moment I went for a Pupusa since I realized this was a Mexican/Salvadoran Taqueria. Of course I grabbed a bottle of Topo Chico to go with it. They made my order to go but I am not sure why since I would have rather stayed. So The Fajita meat was tender and juicy and the lettuce and tomato were crisp and fresh. A bit bland and the salsa provided was a bit weak. The Al Pastor was much better with a lot of grilled onion. ThisAl Pastor had a slightly sweet flavor and the salsa worked well on these. The Pupusa was done right and served with Curtido which is a lightly fermented cabbage relish. The Pupusa itself is not one of my favorite dishes but the Curtido served with this one really turned me into a fan. It was tart and crunchy and went well with the earthy pupusa. Overall I plan on going back for breakfast or one of their other items like burritos, gorditas, or their Tulteca plate(Pork chop, salsa, rice and beans). They also offer home made baked goods and fresh tortillas to go.

    Great food. Great service. Comfortable dining room. Reasonable prices…read more We love the loyalty card, and we fill it up fast.

    **This is a 3.5 star rating.**…read more The food and service here are good, while the atmosphere is excellent. We came here with friends on a Thursday night. The place was busy but not overly crowded. Chips and salsas were brought to the table immediately, and our server didn't rush us to order. Though I'm typically a bean and cheese nacho guy, the chicken and beef fajita nachos here were delicious and, believe it or not, they didn't seem heavy. They keep the Pozole Verde traditional here, with some cilantro on the side. Though I didn't try it, our friend said it was delicious. I had my eyes on the Cecina Plate, which is a classic dish from Mexico of very thinly sliced beef that has been air-dried (sort of like jerky) and then cooked, sliced and served to go on a tortilla, along with some grilled queso fresco and avocado. The flavor was good, but the meat itself was a little on the tough side. (Authentic Mexican cecina is supposed to be juicy and very tender -- almost soft.) Still I enjoyed it, as I did the refried beans, which weren't overloaded with lard like so many other versions out there. I only wish that the plate had come with the salsa macha as advertised. I asked our server about it, and he said "They're warming it in the kitchen, and it'll be right out." It never arrived. Speaking of salsa, if you are one of the three people who read my reviews, you know that I'm a salsa snob. Rule #1 -- no cumin. Rule #2 -- salsa is better when it is served cold. These folks abided by my first rule, but they serve the salsa warm here. It's a roasted salsa and was actually quite flavorful, but it would be so much better served cold. The green salsa here has wonderful jalapeno flavor and plenty of bite. This place definitely knows how to create salsa. Bottom Line: I plan on returning. I glanced at some traditional Tex-Mex platters as I was walking through the place, and they looked divine. I'm looking forward to trying them.

    Our go to TexMex spot in league city! Pretty identical menu to their sibling restaurant chain…read more Gringos with some additional menu items like their chimicanga. Our go dishes are the southwest eggrolls app, al pastor bowl, and our favorite dish the skirt steak fajitas. The fajitas here are marinated well and super tender. It's just an overall chill spot to take the whole family for a great meal with some free soft serve ice cream to end the night right :)

    Been coming here for years and the food has always been great. Unfortunately, over the past few…read moremonths I've noticed the service and cleanliness have gone downhill dramatically. Not sure if there's new management or what has changed. Today was the final straw. My wife and I came in for lunch on Memorial Day shortly after they opened. The restaurant wasn't busy and there were plenty of servers working. We were brought chips and then completely forgotten about. We sat there for 15-20 minutes waiting for someone to come back and even take our drink order. Nothing. What made it worse was watching multiple servers walk right past us without ever making eye contact or checking on us. We finally got up, moved to the bar, and ordered our food there instead. We did let the hostess know about our experience, but no manager or staff member ever came over to apologize or even acknowledge the situation. Really disappointing considering how long we've supported this place.
