Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

My college aged daughter took me to La Tolteca in Bel Air last night for dinner; she is not a fan of Mexican food and she LOVES this place. I love it too. The service was the fastest I have ever experienced in a sit down restaurant that was FULL OF PEOPLE. We were seated quickly, had our drinks within 5 minutes and our food was on our table within 15 minutes of ordering. The chips come with salsa and a delicious creamy dip that was a delightful change from just the standard "chips & salsa". We started with queso and while it was not as thick as I've had other places, it was delicious. The portions are huge and I couldn't finish my burrito. There is a huge selection of dishes and I was able to 'customize' my burrito (no bell peppers) as well as have black beans instead of refried beans. These are the best black beans I've ever had. I know that if I offer to pay for dinner, my college student will be all too happy to accompany me for lunch or dinner again.

This is another one of my favorite local restaurants that we frequent often. Place is clean, the service is good, and the food is always fresh. Love love love their guacamole dip and chips. We eat so much if it we're full when dinner arrives. The food portions aren't that big Unless your getting cheesy stuff which takes up an entire plate. :) I really like going there it's affordable for family of 4. And close

This is a really good Mexican place. The menu is pretty much the standard Mexican place menu, which is exactly what I wanted. Chips were warm, salsa was spicy, the queso was good. The best part? Tableside guacamole! That's pretty unusual at a casual Mexican place like this. I normally only see it at higher-end places. But yes, we got a huge bowl of freshly-made guac at the table. Entrees were good as well - the standard Mexican fare.

I lived in southern California and have traveled to Mexico, so I've had authentic Mexican food. This is not it. This place is an overpriced Taco Bell.

Sure it 91 degrees outside but 84 degree inside a restaurant is a little warm.

Even though I typically come multiple times before I write a review, I am not coming back, so I am basing this off of one experience. Fajitas were dry and made me sick later. Drinks took forever to get refilled. Our vegetarian dish was swimming in oil which made it unhealthy and inedible. They did take that off of the bill when we complained, but one person did not get a meal as a result.

Highly recommend the fish taco. The fish was fresh and was a big fillet. Best part was that the fish was grilled not battered and fried. Looking forward to try their guacamole. The sever makes it fresh at your table... They cut the avocado at the table!

Not quite as good as Bel Air location, but still great! Not sure why it is different even though it is only 5 miles away, but it is. One plus - MUCH bigger location which means you usually don't have to wait for a table.

I think this is like my fifth review of a La Tolteca location. Suffice to say, I am a fan! This location is in an old fast food joint, so there are some funny quirks. The bar only has four seats, to start! The entrance to the kitchen is also right by the bar, so it's awkward/impossible to stand close by to get a drink while watiing for your table on a weekend. They also didn't take out the take out window, which made me double take. We stopped by on a Saturday night and had about a half hour wait. Reasonable considering the place is not super huge, but there is literally no comfortable place to stand around and wait. As soon as we were sat, the guacamole cart guy came right up! Which was awesome because after a long day of moving, this table was starving! The guac chef was very friendly and very fast. Service all around was very nice and fast. Our server was always around when we needed her, and never rushed us at all when we weren't ready to order and were lingering over last bites. Which was super nice when you also think that the place is packed and I'm sure they want to fit in as many tables as possible. Food was overall very good. My mom and her bf raved about their dishes in between big bites. They ordered an enchilada sampler, and one of those "everything combo" plates with one of pretty much every Mexican item you can imagine. I was a little more adventurous and ordered the chile verde, a dish I've never tried before. Big pieces of pork simmered in a "spicy" green chile sauce with rice and beans. The rice and beans were great, but the pork was insanely fatty. I had to remove nearly half of every piece before eating. The sauce was good, but not spicy at all. Overall, the prices are a steal considering the service and mostly very good food. If I were a local, I would definitely go back!

The best service around. Always attentive to your needs. The staff works together to ensure your meal is pleasant. All the good is always hot and fresh. The guacamole is something you should try, it's amazing. Somba is the waiter that brings us back every week.
(5)Brooke D.
Food is pretty good but the service is awful! Every time I come in no one can say hello or "hola" they just look at me like I'm in their way cuz I have a pick up order. Very rude no thank you or anything ever. One time I was completely ignored when I was in line first because the woman who stormed up next to me looked more pissed off than I did I suppose. Rude on both parties IMO. I only go here cuz I live in churchville otherwise the bel air one blows this place out of the water.

We had lived near here for a while but never tried it because it looked sketchy from the outside. On recommendation from a few co workers we tried it and it's excellent! Definitely get the tableside guacamole. I had the fajitas and they were delicious. Service was attentive, prices reasonable.
(5)Gardner M.
Below average for Mexican places. Gets overrated since it started in the bel air area and was the only really local Mexican restaurant. The food (especially the ground beef) is not anywhere near grade A. Once ordered a chicken taco and the bones were in the taco. Yes bones plural. The ground beef tastes like dog food and the chips taste like they are made once in the morning than stale by lunch time.
(1)Christine B.
Great food without any fuss. Everything is fresh and tasty but not delivered with any "flair." But it is the quality of the food you will keep coming back for! (and the margaritas). Cons: small parking lot, dirty bathroom.

I love La Tolteca when I'm up in the Churchville/Bel Air/Aberdeen area. Each of the locations have their merits. Bel Air is always busy and has an awesome atmosphere. Churchville is relaxed and fun for hanging out with larger groups; plus, you can't beat the tableside quacamole being made. Aberdeen is my location to just sit down by myself or with a friend and have a beer. Great food, good service, and a fun environment.
(4)Nick B.
While I don't think this place is as amazing as most people do, the food is decent and the service extremely attentive. Lunch is half the price with the same size portions, but I have had better Mexican food before. The chips are always hot and fresh, and some of the best around Bel Air. It just seems like some of their food is very bland.
(3)Janna M.
This is a definite favorite. We used to go to White Marsh to Don Pablos when we wanted Mexican, but finally gave La Tolteca a try. No need to make the drive, fight for parking and wait for a table, we found a better option. It's now a weekly event. Love that they make the guacamole tableside, the service couldn't be better and the food arrives quickly, even when they are busy. I'm not sure what others have experienced, but we found this location to be far better than the one in town.
(5)Adam M.
Good place for a quick bite of mexican, and a dos equis. Endless chips and salsa and the food comes out quick. Come here when you want something quick and inexpensive.
(3)Dr. Jason B.
Place is ultra clean. The waiter who helped us was very attentive and fast. I've never been somewhere and the food came that fast. Also our drinks were always kept filled. Love the Mexican authenticity. And large menu. Food was ultra good. Lastly. When we were leaving. We seen their pepper garden. THEY GROW THEIR OWN PEPPERS. A+++++++++
(5)Dan K.
Love the table-side prepared Guacamole. Really good, fresh, and made to order (we wanted it a bit spicier). Had the street tacos. Good, not great. My daughter had steak fajitas. Well-seasoned, very tasty! Portion sizes were generous. Complimentary chips were warm and fresh. Service lacked. Wasn't checked on even once. We weren't asked if we wanted a drink refill until we were clearly done with our meal. I am pretty sure this was an isolated case, as I saw other servers very attentive to their guests. I'd come back, but will check other places first.

My boyfriend and I were very pleased! The service was great and the food was very tasty! Great place for lunch.
(4)Devonshire B.
I definitely prefer this location above all others. I feel like it's cleaner and the employees seem to make the service run more smoothly. The food is pretty standard and predictable, but I'm ok with that. There's something great about consistency. The guacamole is probably some of the best I've had though. They make it fresh and right in front of you. The frozen strawberry margarita hit the spot too, but I guess I'm just a lush ;) Ultimately, if you're coming to a Tex Mex place in Churchville for some authenticity or some wow-factor...well...you might want to keep your expectations in check. It's good for what it is!
(3)Mark N.
In the suburban wasteland of chains restaurants that is Hazard County La Tolteca was a pleasant surprise, I didn't get to try any of their drinks but the food was good old fashioned cheap Mexican and the portions were very generous. Table side guac was pretty good too though I've had better, still you can't beat the price. Service was OK, nothing special.

Hungry on that side of town, so I put a to go order in... Only ordered a chimichunga (chicken) & enchiladas (chicken) I should've checked it... I get home a I have a cheese quesadilla and a bean burrito... So I call and explain & they said what do you want us to do? (how about fixing it) so I drive back up there (15minutes) I get there and they were so unorganized... The hostess opens up my food and said what's wrong with it, "it's not what I ordered", he walks around with it, and said I didn't take your order so I can't do anything... 15 more minutes pass by and they come back with a receipt... They realize it was their mistake and fixed it (20 minutes later) I'm so mad by now, I'm ready to go off... I can't go back it's bad enough the person @ the front desk gave me a hard time about the food I paid for and they messed up but I've been to A REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RESTAURANT before and they don't put mixed vegetables in their rice... Wth...
