When we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the employees. We were lead to a seat near by a window with amazing view. Our food arrived fairly fast, and tasted amazing. The Fajita was so good and I hate veggies. The dessert was amazing, it was like a sponge cake with butterscotch. I recommend this place to everyone, babies to grandparents.

Manager Ricardo is amazing! Very friendly and as a bartender very attentive and remembers what we drink. The dining area is always being swept and cleaned up but the baths are not always as clean. ALL the staff is friendly. I live in NJ but have been coming here for 5 years

Today’s Mexican lunch was an absolute flavor fiesta! The beef and chicken flautas were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious balance of seasoned meat and melted cheese. The ceviche was a refreshing highlight, with its zesty lime-marinated fish, crisp veggies, and just the right amount of kick from the jalapenos. And the birria tacos? Pure perfection—juicy, slow-cooked beef tucked into soft tortillas, with a rich, savory consomme for dipping that added an extra layer of indulgence. Every bite was a celebration of authentic Mexican flavors, and the vibrant, fresh ingredients made it a meal I’ll be craving for days!

I really enjoy coming here. It's a great place to grab a cold one when you're in the mood for this kind of comfort cuisine. Everything comes out hot, made to order, and super quick. A few standout dishes to try: - Burrito Cancun (I like to swap the meat for steak or a chicken/chorizo combo) - The Creole-style starter—pairs perfectly with some tortillas on the side along with the chips - Birria-style street bites (they speak for themselves) Always hits the spot!

You can always count on amazing food and fantastic drinks here! The highlight, though, is definitely the staff. Angelica and Edwin truly stand out with their warm, friendly demeanor and incredible attentiveness. They make every visit memorable! This is truly a hidden gem of a place.

This was my 1st visit to The Los Toltecos in South Riding ( Have been to Dulles Mall location a few times and reviwee that) I loved the place, the Mariachi Band added to the already authetic food offering. Tried the veg Burrito which was optimally filled with good veggies, not a huge load of Rice ( rice and beans served on the side. It tasted great and very flavourful. The chips and Salsa tasted fresh Veg Chimichanga, Chicken Chimichana as others on the table ordered were very good too. The Fried icecream was filled with coconut and tasted very refreshing. Our server was very friendly too.
