El Azteca

We have been devoted "El Aztecans" for almost 20 years. Our tradition includes dinner at El Azteca with our family, almost weekly, after church services. When we visit without the kids (now in their 20s), it is not uncommon that restaurant staff asks about them. Times have changed, but I vividly remember crayons and placemats with activities for the kids to color. One thing that never changed was the hospitality of the staff and the quality of the food served. The restaurant is popular for dine-in, as well as takeout and delivery. When dining at the restaurant, there are three dining areas, one of which is the bar which includes some seats at the counter, tables, and a few high top tables. There are at least three televisions broadcasting sporting events. I highly recommend the Chile con Queso appetizer, Mole Enchiladas, Enchiladas Verdes, and Tacos al Pastor. Forgive the lack of photos, we dug in before I thought to take any. Hope to see you there!

A pretty good community restaurant, being in this area over 30 years. Quite decent food and people here.

Local spot that is going to be celebrating its 30th anniversary this October! If a restaurant has been around for that long, they're something special about it. And I was right Food: As soon as I sat down warm chips and salsa were on the table before I could take my jacket off. I ordered the seafood ceviche which comes with shrimp, fish, scallops, peppers, squid, onions, cilantro and chunks of avocado. What a first impression, it's fresh and there's enough to satisfy two people. The seasoning for all of my food was spot on. Not too spicy but not bland. I ordered the shrimp fajitas which has a little kick to it. For the first time, I'm not reaching for hot sauce. Right now there's a watermelon margarita special and I also tried the passion fruit margarita. If you are here with a friend just order the pitcher because one margarita is never enough!Service: Friendly service. Our waiter checked on us often and cleared plates and glasses when necessary.Ambiance:It is a little dark inside. There's a bar area and two areas for regular seating. The four top seating by the bar is my favorite place to sit! The seats are comfortable and they have three televisions with sports on.Overall: This is a wonderful spot to celebrate your taco Tuesday!

Not sure when this restaurant opened, but WOW! Super excited to have a tasty Mexican restaurant nearby! We arrived around 8pm on Friday evening to no wait. We opted to sit at the bar, as that was a bit more spacious than what it looked to be at the tables. It is a cut little restaurant with more tables than you'd expect from looking at it from the outside (not a bad thing!). We were welcomed by the bartender. She was incredibly pleasant and quickly got us our order, margarita and waters. We asked her opinion for recommendations, she said anything under Gilberto's Specials was a good choice, so we focused there. The first basket of chips and salsa is on the house, follow on rounds are $3/ea ($2 for chips + $1 for salsa).Two of us opted to share the El Plato Placero with Steak. Neither of us were prepared for the size of the meal - this could very easily be shared between 3 people. We found it amusing that they only give you two tortillas for all this food. You'd have to pile 6" of food on tortilla and probably still have food leftover.The margs were strong and go down very easily - super yummy.We will definitely be back in the future.This place is located in a strip mall with a parking lot out front. The lot isn't huge and I could see it filling up during a busy time, we had zero issues parking right out front of the restaurant.

The restaurant has an unassuming outdoor facade but when you enter the decor and atmosphere is really nice. The service is really quick and the staff is very friendly. They check-in frequently and bring out food and drinks quickly. As a vegetarian there were quite a few options. The combo is $14 and is a nice however I wish the rice and beans portion was a bit larger. We ordered the xangos for desert which was delicious. I would definitely come back!

El Azteca has been a go-to staple for my family for more than 20 years and it never ceases to please. With a pleasant atmosphere accented by authentic decor and serving staff that are attentive, El Azteca sets the stage for can't go wrong south-of-the-border dining. The atmospheric set up, is matched by consistently well prepared cuisine. Rarely have I ever been served any food that is less than delicious. Most recently, my party of three enjoyed: crunchy ground beef, corn tacos; a combination of beef tamale and cheese stuffed chile-relleno; and pork carnitas. All meals were served with rice and beans except the carnitas which were accompanied by beans and tortillas. We also ordered a vanilla and a chocolate fried ice cream, flan and an Azteca coffee for dessert. The Chile-relleno consisted of sweet anaheim pepper stuffed with Jack cheese and was not batter fried as has been my typical experience with this dish. The beef tamale was served on a corn husk, and was moist and flavorful with masa that was prepared perfectly. The pork carnitas were tender, juicy and very rich. The desserts were delicious the Azteca coffee was very sweet and was served cold though which was a surprise. Altogether our bill with three meals, desserts, one beer with two sodas and the coffee amounted to about 100.00 which is affordable and a price well worth the consistent quality. As expected El Azteca served quality Mexican food at an affordable price with good service and which is not always common. We will keep coming back!

I just left this location and it's safe to say I'm never going back! The customer service was non-existent to anyone that wasn't their regulars. We had to ask repeatedly for everything, refills, napkins, water, everything. Actually, when we first came in, we weren't even barely greeted and we seated for a wow before anyone even came over to ask us what we wanted to drink. Then when I asked what they had to drink, she looked at me like I was crazy and then I had to ask her if they carried Coke products and that's when she began to list them. I tried to order a drink Spanish fluently, so I said to her the type of drink that I wanted, and she looked at me like I was crazy once again. The food was OK. Nothing really special about it honestly. It was very pretty inside, but that's about it. Towards the end we were waiting to pay. She never asked us if we wanted any boxes however, I watched her make small talk with everyone else around us every time I did ask her for something or had to re-ask her for something that she was supposed to have brought, it was like it was a problem and then I watched her look at me speak to someone else laugh and then he looks at me subtly as to not make it obvious that they were talking trash. That's when I guess the manager came over and I let him know how satisfied we were. Don't waste your time. There are truly better places that don't mind servicing everyone!

We love el azteca! We've been coming here for years. Me & my dads favorite is the tacos del hombre which is basically tacos with steak, chorizo & bacon. Super yummy! Haven't been able to find something quite as good anywhere else. Their drinks are great, they have a wide variety of margarita flavors. We got the tamarind margarita which has a good flavor. Lastly, our favorite part is the tres leches cake. Super moist with plenty of milk & really good icing with it. Outside of what we had today, I have also gotten the Texas chimichanga in the past which is a deep fried burrito, the filling is beef & chicken, super yummy, covered in cheese. I drag my parents out here every time I'm in town. It's one of my favorite Mexican restaurants I have been to by far.

I've been here a couple of times now and plan to go back! It's a non fussy smallish Mexican place serving up authentic Mexican food as well as American favorites. Today I ordered the pork burrito with green salsa, which was mild on the spice scale but had a lot of flavor and the pork was very tender. My mezcalita was pretty good too. My husband and I agreed the salsa was really tasty - it had just enough kick to it without being too spicy.

the food here is below average. I ordered the combination fajita and The beef was so beefy tasting with zero flavor. My husband steak was basically raw with zero flavor. very poor quality
