Restaurantji's guide to Fallston's top Mexican dining experiences.
“It is a small place with only 15 total tables, so on a Friday night it took us 50 minutes to get seated. If they have large parties it definitely hurts a dad and son just wanting to come in for dinner.That said, the food was awesome. My son and I both had their much-ballybooed "Dragon Burrito" It was delicious. And my son is VERY picky with his food. But he tore into it, and we both finished.We will be back again, maybe just not on a weekend night. :)“
“I've been to over 50 Chipotle establishments well over 1000 times... this one was in my top 10 for sure. All ingredients were fresh and juicy at 1130am. Staff was unengaged but sometimes you just want to get your food and go, I liked it. Back of house was clean and organized. Parking was easy and drunk station was un-sticky.“
“We stopped by yesterday for taco tuesday, best drinks I’ve ever had, food was amazing and the bartenders were awesome. Kevin and Erixs made sure my wife and I had a great time. Best taco tuesday spot in Harford County and definitely best mexican restaurant I have ever been to!“
“The food is awesome. The best representation of Mexican street food in the Baltimore area. The real specialty are the drinks though. They craft every drink by hand, and some even table side. If you’re looking for a high quality cocktail that is fresh - this is the place.“
“I wish I could give more stars! My husband and I moved here to be closer to family a couple of years ago and I am the only one in our family that enjoys Mexican Food. Finally got my husband to take me here for an early Valentine's Day meal and I was NOT disappointed.This place is fantastic. It is small but so worth it. We got there at a time when not many people were there and there was only one person doing hostess, server, runner, etc. and he did everything with such professionalism and style.I got cheese enchiladas with rice and beans with a guacamole appetizer, also tried the milk queso dip. Oh man, I love the dip and the freshly made guacamole was the BEST.I am a tough customer when it comes to dining out, I want to be waited on hand and foot (don't we all?), fresh made food that is served hot and cooked correctly and I don't like to have an empty glass. As busy as he was, he never missed a beat. Our food was HOT, cooked to perfection, we never ran out of chips/salsa, and our drinks were never less than 1/2 full.Some places SAY they have good Mexican food, this place actually delivers on this and it is worth every penny. On that note, the prices are great as well. I have nothing negative to say except I can't eat there every day or I would destroy my waistline.Highly recommend you try this out. The atmosphere is great as well.“
“We came here before a night of bowling a few doors down, and we were not disappointed. As soon as you get inside, you will be hit with the best aroma of Mexican cuisine! We were greeted and seated pleasantly and promptly. Within minutes, chips and salsa were delivered to our table, and our server appeared to take initial orders. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and always working around the restaurant to arrange for large parties or clean, and the drinks were phenomenal! We will be back!!“
“Delightfully delicious. My wife and I both ordered the fish tacos for takeout. It took 15 minutes for the food to be ready which I thought was reasonable. The fish tacos were filled with a tender and flakey whitefish. Lots of onions and cilantro. It also came with a Roja sauce and a Verde sauce and an accompaniment of diced tomatoes and more seasonings. My mouth was on a fire in a great way. Yes it was spicy but not to the point you can't taste the food. I will definitely be coming back. Next time I'll take pictures.“
“Food was excellent. Really enjoyed the mole and guacamole. Lot of variety on tasty margaritas. Our server Alex was attentive and made us feel at home. The best place I know of in Harford County for a more authentic Mexican cuisine experience. We'll be back.“
“Bartender and servers are just wonderful! We went early for drinks at the bar then got a table for dinner with another couple. Wouldn't call this a romantic spot, but is family friendly, and nice spot to meet friends. Food was good. We will go back.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“
“Authentic for sure and service/workers were all super nice. Food was ready really quick, put in the order and it was ready within 20 minutes. I got the fish and steak tacos, plantanos, and pupusa. All of it was really good! The plantanos were a lil too tough for me, I like them a bit softer and caramelized more but I did travel about 20 home, so it definitely was not as fresh as it was when cooked so I'm not taking points off for that. Steak was a bit fatty which I also wasn't a huge fan of but it was mostly pretty lean. I would definitely recommend this place!!“
“Its been years since I visited El Salto, and I was glad to see they still make quality food at a reasonable price. They have an expanded menu with lunch specials and offer a limited selection of adult beverages. The entire staff was friendly, and it was well patronized at lunchtime on a Saturday. I will have to come back much sooner.“
“I've lived all over the US. Primarily California and many years in Mexico and South America. The food is delicious. It's no Mexico but this is Maryland. The staff is absolutely awesome and I come here every chance I get. It's my go-to for Mexican in the area. Did I mention how awesome the staff is?“
“I’ve been here maybe 75 times in my life, no joke, and each and every time it has been a treat to go to La Tolteca. The staff, like Mr. Raul and Mrs. Rosy, and so kind and attentive, and they even know us now as regulars. The living plants that span dozens of feet across the ceiling and the curved glass windows that span from the floor to the roof add a good vibe to the atmosphere of the restaurant. The tables and booths have just been redone, we noticed, so they’re super comfy and up to date. And of course the food is good, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this review! One minor thing is that the bathrooms could use an upgrade. They don’t get very warm in the winter and they’re not very comfortable. Otherwise, I love La Tolteca.“
“I was pleasantly surprised by this older Taco Bell location. Despite intending to visit the one in White Marsh, my GPS led me here instead. To my delight, the crunchy taco supreme was both visually appealing and delicious, while the fiesta potatoes were fresh and generously topped with sour cream and cheese. I would gladly go out of my way to return to this hidden gem of a Taco Bell. The impeccable food quality and presentation speak volumes about the management and staff's dedication to providing exceptional service, a rare find in today's fast food world. Thank you to the managers and staff for upholding the Taco Bell experience we all long for.“
“We have not been to this Qdoba in several months and to be honest it is because it was very bad. The food was ok but the service was terrible. We talked about going tonight and my wife said let's order online from home so our food will only be 10 minutes late. We decided on eating in store. The team and manager didn't look familiar and that was a great thing. The service was greatly improved and our food was great too. We went from basically writing this location off to putting it back in the rotation, especially because we love Qdoba.“
“Food is phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned, the fresh guacamole is the best in the area. Food came out fast and accurately. The only caveat I had was when we came into the restaurant. It looked like it wasn't open, but they were. The inside is a little dated, but the food makes up for any issues with the decor. The other small issue was that the waiter wasn't very attentive to us. After dropping off the check, we didn't see him for a solid 10 minutes, and another waiter noticed and took care of us. But overall I would definitely come back for the food!“
“I was in town visiting family and they have come here before! We got right in because it was mid week and we were there at 5:30 for 2hrs. And the place fill up quickly. We had a huge corner both that 5 us were comfortable and cozy. Waiter was timley and pleasant?Atmosphere was just right for for occasion. Everyone really enjoy their food!I got the chicken/steak/shrimp fajita! Yum! and ate on the leftovers the next day! Can't say enough! We will be back!? oh and my daughters beer was huge! Lol!“
