La Tolteca La Plata

Always really quick service and efficient wait staff Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome

A regular meeting place with a former co-worker to let off steam! The food is amazingly delicious and the service is excellent. The reasonable pricing is a plus. Vegetarian options: As a vegan, the vegetarian options are plentiful and quite good.

The staff and what we assume was the manager, were beyond rude. We came here for a family dinner, half of us driving out from DC. They said they closed at 10 per Google. When we arrived, we noted the sign on the door that the kitchen closes at 9:45, which is totally fine. We went in to get a table at 9:25. They were aggressively rude about ordering, yelling at our table from afar (we need your order, we are closing, etc. . Our parents were coming in behind us and they kept yelling saying we need their order. At this point it was 9:34. They kept saying they are closed and the kitchen is closed/closing. We kindly asked if they wanted us to leave. They said no but continued to be extremely rude. We ordered and received cold food, no refills on things we asked for, never saw our waiter again. Then, they turned the lights off as we were eating. We were still eating and the manager yelled, you need to go, we are closed and it is after 10. Totally understand if you want to close early, but just say so and do not be so rude.

La Tolteca has been my go-to Mexican restaurant in southern Maryland for more than a decade. It is consistently delicious, has fast service, and the best cheese dip salsa around. It's very busy on Fridays and Saturdays, but most other times you can get a table without a wait. It remains one of the most affordable spots for dinner in the area, and a regular spot for me...lunch OR dinner!

Food and drinks were delicious! I highly recommend place!
