December 5, 2009 – La Tolteca (Sun Prairie)
Here’s a link to the Isthmus page on La Tolteca.

They were having a 2 for 1 margarita special. Brian and our friend ordered margaritas. I kind of thought that would be order 2, pay for 1, but later they brought us two more margaritas without asking. I enjoyed the beef burrito and taco (although the taco was soggy by the time I got to it). The burrito came with red sauce and a light sprinkling of cheese. The quesadilla was seasoned in a way that made me think of Italian sausage – it was a little strange to me. I would not order the beef quesadilla again. We ordered a small dish of guacamole. It was blended with something (sour cream, mayo?), so a little different than I’m used to, but still good. The salsa was hardly spicy at all. The chips were pretty average for what I see in Madison area tex-mex. Brian ordered a burrtio deluxe and our friend ordered seafood chimichangas. Everyone seemed to agree that the food was decent. The service was good and the food came out almost faster than I thought possible. The atmosphere was pretty standard. The only weird thing of note was that the side of the booth we were at was a few inches away from the wall, which gave me a place to stash my stuff, but felt a little weird. I would go again, but probably only if our friend suggests it. There are a lot of similar options for Madison residents. 7 out of 10.
