    The white sauce is soooo good! Mexican pizza was good but way too much beans. Service was great! Will definitely come back.

    The cheese enchiladas with green sauce were delicious. Service was spot on and the prices were very reasonable.

    My family and I have been going to La Tolteca restaurants in the Delaware/ Maryland area for years. About two years ago, we got one near our house, and we basically lived there until it sadly closed down a year ago. (RIP) I now go to the one in West Chester, Pennsylvania as its the one closest to me, or one in Dover, Delaware if I happen to be in the area. La Tolteca will always be my favorite place to get authentic Mexican food. I've eaten everything from their Chicken Mole, to their Taco Salads and their fried Chimichangas. They have very affordable prices and the servings are always very big, and I am always a fan of taking leftovers home. The fact that they serve Jarritos makes me so happy, and I'm always sure to order one when I go. As soon as I turn 21, I'm ordering a margarita from them, as my aunt says they're the best. At this specific location, the tortilla chips are not salted which is great as it pairs well with the salsa which is fresh and packed with cilantro. I think I prefer the Rehoboth and Dover locations better; different cooks I suppose? I haven't been to them in a while though. My favorite dessert is the fried ice-cream. The breading isn't mushy from the ice cream, which I've found in a couple of other places in the past. If you like Mexican, this is a place you need to try.

    Good Tex-Mex food, good service, great pricing. Often do carry out but dining in is worthwhile.

    Quality has really gone down hill. Chips weren't warm and sauces were watered down. They also seem to get simple directions like no tomatoes and diet pepsi confused.

    Sadly, even through this place offers "vegetarian" options, they are cooked on the same grills, in the same pans and pots as the meat options, without them being washed. It's like ordering french fries with the promise of it being vegetarian, but being cooked in lard. NOT VEG. I do not recc this place if you are vegetarian or vegan.

    Went with my wife, brother, and cousin late one Friday night. The food was delicious, the wait staff was friendly and even apologetic for getting one of the orders wrong. The management greets you at the door and walks around asking how the meal/service is (at least this once). I recommend it if you are in town.

    I will describe this place as typical Mexican-American food. It has some authentic characteristics about their menu but having visited the Southwest I can certainly say I've had better. Service was fine. The decor was a bit lame, but like other places of this ilk that I have been too, it was very similar to them with the loud tropical colors all around. I got a fajita dinner and it was good. I was with a semi large party and everyone else seemed pleased with the different meals they received. When ordering drinks be aware when they say a large beer or margarita they really mean a large beer or margarita. If I'm in the mood for for this type of food again I certainly would go here again but I have reasonable expectations.

    Love this place! Try the shrimp taco salad or the fajitas.

    We were seated with some water and chips and salsa (overly mild and bland) and a stoned Oxacan came up to take our order giving the illusion we were going to have some good food. I tried some form of flautas (nothing looked like real mexican food) that were small and mediocre with rice and beans. I tried some of a burrito that left a lot to be desired, and the flan was . . . mass produced? In short, it is mexican food for white people.

    I like eating here. The juevos chorizo is pretty good and the service is average but... For whatever reason the time between when you are seated and when you are serviced is excessive to the point of madness. Seriously, every time, EVERY TIME, get seated. Wait....... couple minutes a guy will bring buy some chips and salsa. Wait....... waiting...... waiting....... watch tables that get seated after you order. Waiting........ Get ignored like clockwork. I would say 1 out of every 5 times we eat there I get fed up and have to tell the hostess we aren't getting served. Get on that guys! Faster service.

    Pretty nice spot. Now this is in Salisbury mind you. I think the only residents there either work on a chicken farm or go/work at the college. If I didn't have to pass through there to get to the beach I wouldn't have known it existed. "Well there is a Salisbury bypass" you might say to yourself, and you would be right. But that is a snooty thought and you should be ashamed of yourself. The food was much better than I anticipated. I know Mexican food as growing up I had eaten at many fine Mexican restaurants. Such as Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, and Ruby Tuesdays. I had the Enchiladas and my friend had some tacos and quesadillas. All the dishes were prepared very well and I enjoyed them a great deal. I am actually very particular of my guacamole and theirs was awesome. As a tip: Order by the numbers. Our waiter seemed to struggle a great deal with the English or I was very drunk. Probably both. I should have typed this first but if you are trying to waste time coming back to Baltimore from Ocean City this is the spot.

    Who doesn't love this place? Two buck margaritas on Tuesday! Hand made guacamole, table side. Every single menu item is fresh and authentic. Serving staff is fast and friendly. I always come back!

    I attended this establishment after reading Peter c's discouraging review. The out side of this restaurant looks like a giant country style house or barn, so I immediately thought I would find a 5 star caliber menu awaiting me. However it wasn't gourmet but that's OK. The chips and dip were just fine as well as the chili verde. Portions were large and service was friendly and fast. What else are you expecting or realistically asking for. Come on Peter, don't hate appreciate.

    Standard americanized Mexican. Everything the unwashed masses have come to expect of Mexico. Sadly, they could take a risk and bring it up a notch by adding a gourmet menu to those few who thing that our southern cousins eat something more than chimme changas. Don't get me wrong, it not bad, the decor is pleasant and interesting. The food is just potentially harmless. What if they really tried?

    The only mex place I go to when I'm visiting my in laws in salisbury. They have good drinks, fresh table side guac, and decent food for Salisbury. My husband thinks they make their white sauce with crack. It's a bit too sweet for me but he likes it. I'm not huge on mex but this place is okay and the portions are a good size. I got their mango salsa chicken without the mango salsa bc I'm not a fan, along with a side of veggies which was too much for me to finish. The chicken itself was flavorful. Veggies seemed overly cooked. My husband got the ground beef burrito and taco. I didn't think it had much flavor unless u added the hot red and green sauce they have to it.

    La Tolteca is the best south of the border, east of the bay. Upon our arrival to this resturant we were seated and waited on quickly. The staff who are bilingual were pleasant and knowledgable of their product. We ordered and were brought complimentary chips, salsa and an unknown white spicy sauce that was a highlight of our visit. Our food came quickly, chimichangas and a quesadea, both dishes were hot and well prepared. We left full and gave our waiter a generous tip as he catered to our every request. The food here is given in abundance and you should not leave here hungry. This was a great experience and we will return.

    Average Mexican food. Salsa was good, beef in chimichangas was tender & moist. But, the fried items (toquitos, chimichangas, taco salad) were very greasy.

    I was meeting up with an old school friend for dinner, and since she lives nearby she recommended La Tolteca. First of all, I like that they have a large parking lot across from the building.....very easy to navigate, and very easy to find this place off of Route 50. The decor was very nice, and the staff were friendly and quick to seat us. First of all, they don't just bring chips & salsa, they also have some kind of white yogurt-consistency dipping sauce that is delicious! I have no idea what's in it, but I do highly recommend it. My friend recommended the "guacamole salad". Not being a big guac fan, I was a little hesitant, but she assured me that it was amazing, so I agreed. I don't think I'd call it amazing, but it was edible and tolerable, which is more than I can say for most guac that I've been forced to try. So I guess for someone who likes guac, it probably IS amazing. She and her husband got the fajitas for two, and the portions were HUGE. They both ate and still had a lot left over to take home for the next day. I opted for the mango chicken, which was surprisingly very tasty and a large enough portion that I was also able to take some home and have it for lunch the next day. Prices were a little on the high side for Mexican food, but not too unreasonable. I don't get through Salisbury very often, so I don't know if or when I'll be back, but if you do happen to be going through and a have a little bit of time to eat, I'd recommend stopping and giving them a try.

    Very good Mexican food. Nice and fresh. I have been here 4 times now and always leave happy and full. Bloated too but that's my fault. We went a couple days ago with some friends and their son asked waitress what was in the burrito and she just said chicken. We were like um what else and again she said just chicken. Well she was wrong and needs to learn the food better. But my chimichangas were delicious and tacos too. I actually will come here for now when I just want tacos to go. Although I wish they were a tad cheaper. But all good.

    This is a genuine Mexican restaurant. You get what you pay for: food is good, hot, and a generous portion. This is not a fancy tex-mex place, so don't expect it. But where else can you go for 2 people to eat for $12???

    During my last trip to Salisbury, my friend and I decided to meet at La Tolteca for lunch. For those unfamiliar with the establishment, it is really hard to miss on Rt. 50 thanks to its distinguishable building and color. Upon walking in the door, yes the restaurant looks small since there is a small dining room on the first floor. However, the bar and more tables are upstairs. At any rate, we were seated very quickly next to the roaring fireplace (gas) that was perfect on a cold and rainy winter day. We were served water along with chips, salsa and the infamous white sauce shortly thereafter. I'm pretty sure the white sauce recipe is guarded secretly, but you can always purchase it by the tub on your way out the door. I ordered the Speedy Gonzalez off the lunch menu that consisted of an enchilada and a hard taco. I opted for chicken that had mixed chiles in it and was seasoned just enough to give it some kick, but not overbearing. The mole sauce on the enchilada was delicious and it also came with the choice of refried beans or rice. I opted for the refried beans. For the price - the three of us ate for well under $30 for lunch, it can't be beat. I wish there were more lunch options, but overall it is great to cure your hankering for Mexican food!

    Maybe I'm just biased because I'm from Texas, but the food here was pretty awful. I went shortly after opening on Sunday for lunch and ordered the second largest combo platter so that I could sample a wide variety of their menu offerings. Chips were thick and okay, but the salsa was purely mediocre and the creamy white sauce that came with it was interesting, but not my favorite. As far as the entree went, the refried beans were pretty gross: thin with a funky light pinkish color and very bland. The rice was pretty average and standard. The tamale was probably the best thing, but even that had a corn layer that was a bit too thick. The enchilada was pretty bland and flavorless as the filling could have used some seasoning... salt... something was definitely missing. The guacamole had been sitting out a bit too long, as it had already started to turn quite brown. The taco was pretty standard, although I can honestly say I've had better at Taco Bell. Maybe the margaritas would have made the food taste better, but I can't attest to that. I'll probably never come back here unless a friend insists on it.

    It's alright. I go for the 2 for 1 Fajita night. I'm from LA and I miss REAL MEXICAN food. They don't even have HORCHATA! I NEED Horchata to cool down my mouth when I eat yummy really spicy comido mexicano!

    My God this place rocks! Even though I moved from SBY over 6 years old, I still find time to get out there once a year and treat myself to this fantastic restaurant. There has not been one item I have tried that I didn't like. The chips and salsa are phenomenal. The drinks...made to perfection. It is very easy on the wallet and worth every penny. Don't miss this place when passing through SBY!

    Salisbury's *BEST* Mexican Restaurant! Service is very friendly, and *fast* for a restaurant. Most of the waiters speak little Engish, but there are a few that are well versed in English. If you must, simply ask for a server that speaks English well, to help you through the menu. After being seated, you are served complimentary chips and salsa, with the bonus of a bowl of "salsa blanca", a savory yet cooling white sauce to dip your chips in, along with a nice, fresh salsa. The red salsa comes in a small bottle that you pour into a bowl, filling it at least 2 times. You'll run out of chips before the salsa. I would rate the salsa's heat at just barely medium heat. For you chileheads out there, ask for the salsa verde! It's a green salsa, made with tomatillos, and is very hot, with a fresh taste. The 2 bottles of hot sauce at the table include the venerable Cholula Hot Sauce and El Yucateco's Salsa Picante de CHILE HABANERO, a *very* hot sauce. Appetizers - we've tried the stuffed shrimp with Monterey Jack... they're awesome, and we like the stuffed Jalapenos too. One app not to order is the "Tostada con Queso" ($2.75). You will get ONE 6 inch corn tortilla, with a smattering of queso cheese on it. If you want a warm/hot cheese to dip into, ask for the "Cheese Dip" (translation= cheese dip). *That's* the queso dip you are thinking of! Wifey loves the #129 Burro Grande (Big Burrito -$9.95): * Large burrito stuffed with grilled beef (or chicken), onions, tomatoes and bell peppers. * Topped with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole and sour cream. * Served with rice and beans I've ordered the #114 Taquitos Mexicanos ($8.50) too many times. * 4 fried taquitos (corn tortillas) = * 2 shredded beef * 2 chicken * Served with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole and sour cream I wish we had just shared the Burro Grande, as it's enough food for 2, and the grilled beef is sooo flavorful. It has all the flavor of fajitas, already wrapped and ready to eat! The grilled beef is like tiny beet tips, with all the seasoning and flavor of the fajitas, already assembled and ready to eat, and a few bucks cheaper! They have Dos Equis (XX) on tap, as well as other boring American brews like Bud, Bud Light, Mich Light, & Coors Light. In bottles, there's a dozen or so Cervezas and domestics too. All beers are served super cold with a frosted mug, something you don't see often. Their Margaritas are big and delicious! I'm a purist, but you can get Margaritas as Strawberry, Raspberry, Peach, Coconut, or Lime. They offer 3 sizes: Regular: * 14oz - $4.95 * 19oz - 6.25 * Pitcher - 18.95 Gold: * 14oz - 5.95 * 19oz - 6.95 * Pitcher - 21.95 They have tons of cheap lunch specials... and are very popular with the local business-lunch crowd. The Specialties of the House are really varied, with 3 different samplers, fried or soft chimichangas, enchiladas, nachos, chalupas, burritos and much more. And the Combo Dinners are always a great value ($7.95-8.95). Sides - Pico de Gallo ($.95) is very heavy on the onion. Probably not the best pico de gallo I've had. I guess the Sides are a crap shoot. Also, there's a Children's Menu @ $3.95 for kids 10 and under for you Mexicana Familias out there. Located in town on US 50 (Business) and 110 Truitt St, this place is very colorful, always busy, and never disappoints.

    It doesn't get any better than La Tolteca!!! My most frequented place in town! Service is personable, fast, friendly. Food is always fantastic! Love the guacamole and the enchiladas, yum! You must come eat where the Hispanic people in town prefer to done out! There's a clue for you! I guarantee I'm not Hispanic and this is my favorite place in Salisbury!

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.
