La Tolteca in Williamsville

This is a staple of our list of great places to casually eat on any number of occasions, including just being hungry. The staff is always courteous and service is relatively quick. Food is great, and being a California native, it's one place I go to in the Buffalo area for good Mexican. I'd like to see more "street tacos" on the menu, but otherwise, their menu is solid. Prices are reasonable and the drinks are great. Definitely will be going again, as we currently do a few times a month!

Amazing food nice staff.. food took an hour to come out but it was good when it did. Cold beers and crispy chips. Overall good experience. Would go back.

This is a wonderful place to eat. I felt VERY safe as we visited this Buffalo location. Keep up the GREAT work. We will return for another great meal. Thank You!

I ordered dinner through their website with specific instructions that were disregarded. When I arrived to pick up the meal they told me that they do not make nachos with carne asada...even though carne asada was on the menu and it is typically just an up charge. Instead of contacting me they decided to just make it they way I specifically asked them not to make it. It normally wouldn't be a big deal but 1) they could have contacted me 2) Staff knew about my specific request and ignored it and was blase about it. (POOR Customer Service). 3) They have messed up previous orders but I decided to give them another try. I guess I learned my lesson.

great Mexican place.

Food was good but salsa was extremely watery. Usually the salsa is really good but this time it seemed to be V8 with a little cilantro and a little onion.

Always a great experience! Fresh food, excellent services, what more could you ask for!

One of the best Latin restaurants in the area. Authentic Latin food with a pleasant attention to detail. Service at this location was good, approaching great. Their margaritas are very good. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, a great place to bring the family.

Great ambiance, authentic Mexican food, good service, reasonable prices, would definitely recommend to Canadians visiting Buffalo for a day or weekend.

Never had a disappointing meal here. A great place to dine with family and friends and the staff are very friendly and efficient.

Amazing food. Best in the area. Always clean. Great staff. Not a long wait time for food. Great for a night out with friends or the family

Favorite Mexican spot in WNY. Been going since it was Plaza Azteca. Great food, service, and atmosphere.

Definitely wont be going back, asked for a chille relleno got a chille poblano. Food was not the best If you want good Mexican go to la Divina dos

The staff was very attentive to our party of over 10 people. All of our food came out at the same time, all hot, all correct, and all super tasty.

We had not heard of this restaurant prior to this visit. We trusted our GPS, when it showed La Tolteca as a Mexican restaurant under the 'restaurant category' We are so glad we trusted it. We were greeted by a very friendly service, the hostess and the waitresses were very nice and friendly. The menu has a lot of options - some we had never heard of before. The food is made very fresh, with amazing presentation. The item I ordered was the Hawaiian fajitas, which is served inside of a grilled 1/2 pineapple. The prices are amazing. You get so much food, for such a low price. The service is spectacular - our waitress (KAREN) was amazing. Delicious food, great service, and amazing prices. Roguetrippers were very happy with their visit to La Tolteca You will love this place.

Fantastic!! My new favorite for Mexican food and Margaritas!!

The food was okay. The service not good. It wasn't packed amd waiting for the waitress was a task in itself. I wouldn't go back again. However, I would encourage anyone who likes this particular establishment to continue to patronize them.

Probably the best food you'll ever eat. The atmosphere is very nice and the same is true about the entire staff. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a good time out with your family

The food and service here is really good. The staff seems friendly. The price is okay. Might not be the best place for the ones who are on diet or count calories before starting a meal. I would definitely recommend this place.

One of my favorite restaurants in WNY, with many options and very consistent quality

Looking for Mexican cuisine with an authentic flair? This is it. We had a wonderful meal here and it all started with tortilla chips and salsa brought to your table. Food, service and ambiance were all fabulous. Definitely coming back for more!

I only gave it a 4 because i have only been there once but the service was fantastic and the food was delicious!!!!! I will definitely go back.

We both had lunch with a beverage for $20. A great deal! Serving was just right, food was hot and yummy. Their chips were yummy and salsa was good as well.

First time here, very colorful, very clean. Our server was a pleasant gentleman, he was both polite and attentive without being pushy. The salsa & drinks were refilled quickly, even before we requested! My friend and I both had a chimichanga, excellent choice. I had a takeout order of fajitas for my husband and he really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.

Yummy pineapple fajitas!

Very disappointed last night when I visited La Tolteca. I understand the whole COVID - 19 issue but this is what happened. A week ago I visited the restaurant and I asked if I could sit at the bar and the hostess said sure......I had a great meal, drinks and the service also was great. So, last night a buddy and I decided to go and we arrive and there was a wait for the dining room which didn’t matter to us because we wanted to sit at the bar. So the hostess asks the manager if we could sit at the bar which nobody was currently sitting at and he said No. I ask but WHY.....I sat there last week, the hostesses response was that it’s the managers decision.......Anyway we left and spent our money down the street at Brennan’s where they allowed us to sit at the bar socially distancing. Very unhappy and more than likely will never visit them again.

the service is good. 5 star for their service effort. Will surely comeback here,

Good food but hit or miss. Have had a few lackluster dishes

This has got to be the best place in the area to get Mexican food. And the place is tastefully decorated to add to the dining experience.

Awesome food and super nice staff. I miss the location on McKinley as this location is a bit more packed but overall they serve great food. Large portions for a decent price and the margaritas are tasty. Definitely recommend for some good Mexican food.

Great carne asada, friendly staff

Reservation was for 6:30. Got seated about 8. Dinner took at least a half hour to come out. Place is very loud. Food was good. Portions are too big.

Great food, great ambiance and great prices!

I hadn't been to La Tolteca in a few years. A friend recommended it for dinner. I was very pleased with the service and the food. We both ordered fajitas and they were excellent! I will definitely go again.

Bad lighting, bright and it hurts your eyes. Watery salsa, blah beans, meals were below average and so was the service. Not sure why the reviews on here are so good.

First time being here. Walking in took someone awhile to notice us and sit us down. Than the hostess walked up with an attitude it seemed. Service was timed well. Ordering I was served two beef burritos. When I asked for two chicken. They quickly fixed mistake. My dish I really liked a lot. My spouse felt like portion could have been a bit bigger. Their yellow rice wasn't good at all. Place is nice and clean.

My favorite Mexican joint in the area for sure - it helps that I work so close to it. It's a great spot for lunch. They have very good lunch special prices on the back of the menu and always have a lunch special that's cheaper as well. Their chips and salsa are great and my favorite thing are the refried beans. I usually alternate between a few of the specials on the back of the menu. The service is usually very fast and friendly. My only complaint is that the margaritas on special are typically very weak.

Let me tell ya something. This feast is exquisite. They start you off with delicious chips and salsa which seem endless. I taste tested one of the margs and it was marginally better than some I've had. Mega epic. The chorizo fries. Wow. Took my breath away tenfold. They were phenomenal. We then get to the main event: burritos deluxe baby. Holy mackerel they were tasty. Super filling. We had to get the mighty fried ice cream for dessert and although I feel my heart stopping, it was worth every bite.

I actually didn't go here, went next door to Red lobster

Good food, good prices and good service. Had a great time here 👍

This place was great! I was there on "Taco Tuesday" not only were the free corn chips with salsa and the main meal damn fine food, but it was very affordable. If you're in the area.. Eat here!

Food was very very good. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant in the Buffalo area!!! We also had an amazing Server - he was so good, the best Server we've had the entire year!

Amazing tacos. Great margaritas. Very kind responsive service. Highly recommend

Great place for authentic Mexican food! This is not some chain restaurant type of Mexican! This place seems to owned and operated by Mexicans! That's what I look for when I am planning on eating Mexican food! Staff is attentive and friendly!

Good was very fresh & delicious. Service was great.

Okay food and a paranoid waitress. Plus over an hour spent waiting for it. Not the best Mexican restaurant in Buffalo but it is crowded because of the location.

Food was good but service was so slow. From the time to ordering to food on the table was 40 minutes. On top of it, our waiter was a mess and just not efficient. Bringing the check/picking it up/refilling our drinks took way too long. He would be off doing something else, like hang at the bar. But the food was good.

Food and drinks were great. Loved it. Feedback I would like to give though, the menus def need to be washed. There were chip crumbs and dried salsa all over ours.

I have had better experience here, but my last trip was bad. To begin with, we had to wait for an hour and half before we got seated. After getting seated it took another twenty minutes for our server to bring us water and chips. We got our margaritas quickly enough but then it took forever for the lady to come and take our dinner order and yet another forever to bring us the food(by then we had finished the chips they had given us and there was no one to ask for a refill.) The food was fine, no problems there. We decided to skip the dessert because we really didn't have the patience for it.So, since I have had better experiences here, I would recommend this place to others,on any day but the weekends.

Love it, favorite Mexican place in the buffalo area
