El Azteca taco shop in La Mesa is truly a class act. I've been going there for years for their delicious tacos, burritos, and pretty much everything else. The service is impeccable, and the family that runs the restaurant is amazing. They remember their customers, they're friendly, efficient, and produce some pretty delicious Mexican food.Today, we ordered lunch for my daughters school on Friday through the parent teachers group. El Azteca, and their outstanding staff, prepared hundreds of items and had it packaged and ready to go on time. The kids loved it!Entire time I was there, a constant stream of customers was behind me, enjoying the delicious breakfast burritos, andlunch items. I would recommend something specific, but my opinion is that everything here is delicious.

Don't order from this place when the owner is not here Paid $14 for something that tastes horrible and it's going to the trash! Old guacamole that tastes horrible!! Icome here all the time what a shame. When I called in to explain what they are selling all I heard was well we made it today. Maybe they should taste what they are selling.

I'm SO happy a friend recommended this place. I got a California burrito with beans instead of meat and it was BOMB! It is a huge burrito (that means two meals for me), it was done really fast (7 mins - the full order) and the staff was really kind. This is going to be my go-to every time I'm craving a burrito.

So I've been coming for 13 years and I've never had a bad experience, not once. The Rosarito plate has been my favorite thing here for a few years now and I tend to get strong cravings for it. It's basically shredded chicken, tomatoes, onions, and peppers served with your choice of tortillas, rice, beans, and a drink for $10 with tax. The Mexican nachos are also a frequent favorite of mine. Occasionally I will order a burrito, but honestly I order the various taco specials far more often. This is my comfort food restaurant and part of the appeal for me is the absolute consistency of the food and service. It may not be trendy, but it's always filled with construction workers at lunch time, they know how to find satisfying meals to make it through the day, and I think they're onto something with El Azteca.

I stumbled across this place by accident, after getting my nails done nearby. I got a carne asada and an adobada taco. Both were really good, meat seasoned well, and with plenty of meat and toppings in each tortilla. I would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

Redemption from my last visit. Always big burritos, great flavors, solid value. I'll never stop going here as long as they keep it up.

Been coming here for several years but lately the food is bad. We placed a large order and everything was awful. Birria tacos were scarce and cold. The worst were the rolled tacos. They were hard stale and the avocado spread was dark. No lettuce or sour cream on them. Cali burrito mostly fries with little meat.Very disappointed

Apparently, you should only go here when they have birria available. Four people came in asking about it while we waited for our food.Beans cheese burrito and carne asada burrito with cheese was meh. Casual atmosphere, typical taco shop except no taste.

I've been coming here for decades since the 90s. Really awesome taco shop with friendly service, great prices and delicious food. Every. Single. Time. Consistency is key here. They have humongous burritos and really tasty food. Their red sauce is fire. So dang good. I had their taco special today on a Tuesday afternoon. I ate 4 tacos and was stuffed. I love all their food here. The only thing I wish they did was stay open later on Sundays. But I can understand that employees and owners need some time off too. Great family owned taco shop. Come here you won't be disappointed!
