La Tolteca

The food is fresh and the vibe is low-​key. The place is small, but that adds to the charm. I love places like this– it’s seemingly been there forever and hasn’t changed because it doesn’t need to. Really, really good. Diners won’t be disappointed.

Make room… 1^st time here and I enjoyed a fresh meal. Guacamole prepared in front of me. Fajitas with fresh onions and pepper. Good service. A dark room but good «musica» We will be back another time.

Pretty good authentic Mexican food. The food is always fresh and served hot. The service is always good. I typically get the Taco Teca Bowl with steak/​chicken and it’s delicious. Everything I’ve tried on their menu has been good.

So good! Great happy hour specials all day everyday. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Bartender was really nice when we went there. Great service!

Pretty good, margaritas were great. Extra large food portions. The mixed fajitas were awesome! Will come again! The guacamole was so so and not like the other Unilocal comments. Maybe because we ordered the small and they didn’t prepare it at the table. It is worth a 2^nd visit. Glad we tried it.

This is our go-​to restaurant. Food is the best in Harford County. The service is usually very good, but it can get busy, especially on Thursday-​Saturday evenings.

Wasn’t pleased at all. Chili rellenos resembled slop, could only eat the cheese off the top. The veggie fajitas were below average. I ended up eating mostly tortilla chips

I love this place! Always friendly and accommodating. I can’t get enough of the chillie rellano! And can’t forget the tequila bloody Mary

So I had La Tolteca in downtown Baltimore by the Harbor and it was wonderful. The cheese perfectly melted and distributed throughout my quesadilla, although the rice was some crap. Now here in Aberdeen, because I work here the pickings are slim as to lunchtime meals and I was hoping for another amazing meal but that is not what I got. The quesadilla, thoughout not disgusting, was very bland, dry and oddly put together. When I opened the quesadilla, the meat was on the right side ONLY, the beans in the middle, and the cheese (yes a lump of cheese) on the left side. I attempted to mix everything together but it seemed as though my plate had been sitting awhile because that cheese was immovable (real word, look it up lol). Ironically, the rice from this restaurant was delish so if only I oculd somehow get the two restaurants to work together, we may be in business. Anyways, with a lack of options in Aberdeen, this is restaurant is an «eh…ok» type of place in which I am less than likely to return.

Great good and service! Very accommodating to a large group and only charged me for 2 Coronas when I drank 4!!! LOL!

Excellent authentic mexican food. Being from Arizona, finding good mexican food on the east coast isn’t an east task. Luckily Unilocal came to the rescue. Eat here, you won’t be disappointed!
I had#115 Enchilada supreme. So good. Soooo effin good.

I really love Mexican food and this place is wonderful. If you ever go to the bar ask for Lily she is the best!!!

The food and the drinks were great, but I had to only give three stars because of the ambiance. They had satellite radio on for the entire place to hear, and you know it is unedited. There are only so many times I could hear the F word before it made me uncomfortable to see the kids in there with their families. :(

I’ve eaten at all three locations in Harford Co and always had a good meal. My only disappointment was the rib eye steak I got. It was small and very thin for the price.

This place is delish. I’ve been here a few times and came last night for dinner. We ordered the fresh guac and the waiter made it right in front of us at the table. You can order it with different mix ins (onions, tomatoes, jalapeños). For my entrée, I had the lime chicken with rice, black beans with mozzarella cheese, guacamole salad and 2 tortillas. The chicken was extremely flavorful. Portions are big so definitely come hungry.
As far as the drinks go, their beer specials are pretty good. We got a pitcher of frozen raspberry margaritas. The flavor was super sweet, too sweet for my liking but it got the job done.
On Friday nights they have a mariachi band play around the restaurant which made it super fun, but was a little loud.

Best Mexican food in the area, hands down. Huge portions, great prices, flavorful food, great service, and the margaritas are to die for. If you love Mexican food, you have to try it out.

Food was ok here, its not authentic mexican like they say. The staff here is kind of rude, they dont speak much English here so took a while to get our order right. Desert is on point though.

I will eat here again.
My husband and I love Mexican food. We came to love it while living in Atlanta, where there is a lot of Mexican, Peruvian, Salvadorian, etc food.
This food is okay, and to be honest, each entrée is priced about 10−20% too high for what it is (and we are from a big city, so it isn’t like we are unaware of city mark up).
The fish tacos *need* an acid element. A lime sauce, something. It is too much fish for too little taste. I’ll be trying the street tacos next time.

Found this place for lunch one day and decided to try it for dinner. Unfortunately although the food was good the atmosphere was awful.
The Ravens game was on and there was a large group of very obnoxious and drunk fans yelling and screaming obscenities I felt as if I was in some corner pub listening to the F bomb being used with regularity by both the males and females. At one point they began trying to pick a fight with the family at the table next to them and the wait staff and management did nothing but continue to serve them alcohol .
The food was good but I will never go back and certainly will not recommend it to anyone especially those with children.

Run by Mexicans so that’s a good start! Our party of 8 was seated quickly but service with drinks was a little slow. No problems there. I enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, and ordered a mango margarita. It was a large one, but seemed a bit weak in the alcohol area, and although large, I still consider pricey for it’s $ 8 price tag. I ordered the enchiladas… which was fairly salty and lackluster, but still an acceptable meal. Just not much wow factor. For the Aberdeen area, I’m just glad there is some ethnic diversity for food and its fine for what it is. Would I eat there given the chance of something in California or where there is a heavy Mexican population with more choices? Probably not. But hey for Aberdeen, this is A-​ok. As a big city girl temporarily in a small town… this will do.
