About La Tolteca – Buffalo, NY.

La Tolteca is a warm, welcoming Mexican restaurant on Transit Road in Buffalo that blends traditional flavors with a family-friendly vibe. Their menu is impressively broad — starting with creamy dips like queso blanco, guacamole, and choriqueso, and stretching all the way to sizzling fajitas, hearty burritos, and grilled seafood. You’ll find a little bit of everything: tacos (beef, chicken, shrimp, or steak), enchiladas in several sauces, and special combos like chimichangas and molcajete bowls.

They serve plenty of shareable appetizers too, including nachos, stuffed jalapeños, shrimp ceviche, and a sampler platter with relleno, taquitos, quesadillas, and more. On the lighter side, they offer fresh salads featuring mango, avocado, or shrimp, all served in crisp tortilla bowls. For entrees, their lineup includes grilled chicken dishes, steak and shrimp, seafood specialties, and vegetarian options like spinach enchiladas and stuffed poblano peppers.

La Tolteca also caters to families: there’s a kids’ menu with tacos, burritos, quesadillas, chicken fingers, and more — all at reasonable prices. Their lunch specials are a great deal too, mixing tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, usually served with rice and beans.

If you’re dining with a group, the “to share” portion of the menu has big-ticket items like their Parrillada skillet — featuring chicken, steak, shrimp, and pork — or lava-rock molcajete bowls full of meat, veggies, and cheese. On the side, they offer familiar staples like rice, beans, tortilla chips, and salsa.

Whether you’re going for a casual family dinner, a fun night out with friends, or a social gathering, La Tolteca makes it easy to enjoy classic Mexican dishes in a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.
