Delicious food. Tacos piled high with meat! The seasoning is amazing in all dishes. Have tried the chicken tacos, steak tacos, grilled chicken breast and green enchiladas. They were all amazing and I left a happy customer. The staff is also super sweet and accommodating. They checked with us to make sure everything was good and when a friend called to say he was joining we put in his order since it was ready so quickly they came over and covered it in aluminum and kept it warm for him. It’s the little things… Will be back for sure!

Fresh food and nice atmosphere. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Now let’s get to the food! I’ve ordered the: Shrimp taco salad– amazing, fresh shrimp, plenty of shrimp, tasty shrimp. Yes it was packed and the shell stayed crispy. Chorizo(tacos, sopes, burrito and tostada) — the chorizo was not greasy, but tasty. It’s not spicy at all. Lengua(beef tongue) — tender and tasty(shredded not in cubes like a so called #1 taco place) I am currently working my way through the menu. Pictures coming soon!

Place is nice. It’s a casual restaurant. I ordered the tostada with chicken breast and a chicken gordita. The tostada would have been enough. Its a very well packed tostada! The chicken was seasoned right and the condiments were plenty. The gordita was also a good size and that alone would be satisfying. I would come back and recomend others to give it a try.

Came here for breakfast. One of the best chilaquiles in the city.(Con carne, red hot sauce) wonderful service – but we were the only ones here at 8:30am. The coffee was great. My hubby had the huevos a la Mexicana – he loved it! We will be back here to try the lunch and dinner menus. Yum!

It’s a nice small place. The food is amazing there’s usually one server it’s a small place. They have many option and accommodate any substitutions on your meals. Only one small thing there is no liquor sold here although they do say byob is accepted

Ordered food for 5 people and cost $ 35. Great food. Althought, I would have liked full condiments on my tacos not just the offered lettuce tomatoes. And the reason for not 5 star, no delivery. This place is small, but clean and the food is great. The chairs are artful and they also made a chimichanga even though it was not on the menu. I recommend this place.

The BEST horchatas! Everything else is amazing too. I’ve pretty much tried everything on the menu since I live down the street from this place and it’s been around for over 10 years and although it’s changed it’s name, The food stays the same; simple but delicious. The tostadas are piled high and the Chile rellenos are full of flavor(these happen to be two of my favorite things on the menu) but anything you choose will leave you satisfied.

Great local place. After seeing this spot on my daily work route I decided to check it out. The decoration is colorful and traditional Mexican. The service was fast and very friendly. We ordered some pastor tacos, a torta and a sope all of which were tasteful and reasonably priced. A clean place was seen all throughout as well. Will definitely come back here in the future.

Love this place to order. I ordered some food yesterday and the delivery was quick! My boyfriend was amazed when he saw his food. It was delicious and he told me if to write a review and give El Azteca 10 stars. Lol. The food I ordered was delicious as well. The price is fair and the delivery fee is fair as well. Good job El Azteca I guess we will be visiting the restaurant soon.

This is a great place for dinner! It is a small place with nice décor. There are a few TVs with Telemundo on, but never loud enough to distract from conversation. Prices are very reasonable. I like to bring my friends in to share the experience. You walk in and they give you a cup of soup with salsa and chips. The food has always been great. Service from the friendly staff is always great. To top it all off they even offer complimentary flan!

I can’t say enough nice things about this place! 1) It’s super cute inside. You’ll spend half of your first visit checking out the pretty chairs.(And the ceiling is very HGTV). 2) Service is always friendly and patient. There are very ritzy places downtown that should send their waitstaff here for lessons. 3) I saved the best for last! THEFOOD! Just for sitting down at dinnertime they will bring you chips with salsa and little cups of soup. After your scrumptious meal they usually bring you a small complimentary serving of flan. I don’t know about you but that’s just plain hospitable in my book. Definitely try to go in for a sit down meal, take out orders miss out on the yummy extras.

Their shrimp cocktail is amazing! I ordered the small and was surprised at how much shrimp came in it. Their portions are very generous. The beef, chicken and shrimp parrillada(menu item #22) was delicious also. They serve all their parrilladas with rice, beans, avocado, salad and tortillas. Great prices also. I loved how friendly the staff was and just when I finished telling my boyfriend how amazing the place was they gave us a complimentary flan desert! Will definitely be going back.

I haven’t been here in a couple of months but I used to frequent this place. This used to be my go to place for Huevos Al a Mexicana. It’s was ridiculously cheap and great to split with someone be it when running late for class or after a particularly late night out. The staff here is really friendly and the food is pretty consistent and good across the board. Nothing is better than some chile rellenos and a good milkshake from here!
