Azucena's Mexican Restaurant

I'm shocked that they put so much fat in their birria - it's like they don't know how to make it? The salsa was mostly water, the beef steak was tough - must have been a bad cut of meat. The chicken (fajita?) tasted like air. The al pastor was really dry - no piña. The carne guisada was ok, but not much flavor in the gravy. Nothing is seasoned - so be forewarned. They also forgot our sides of guacamole and pico de gallo. We spent a lot of money for not much return. We only ate half of the tacos we got, just to taste, but have to doctor everything into new dishes to make it edible. Hope they get better at making food one day! There's not much in Luling, but I would suggest Lugo's if you are hungry until things change.

From the outside, I wondered if I should go in... it's a converted gasoline station. When I stepped through the door, though, I became at ease immediately, recognizing it to be a place where the locals eat.A single waitress, working her rear end off, provided good service. I tipped her appropriately.I had enchiladas and puffy tacos, and really enjoyed them. Beans, rice, and tortillas were very good, too.If I found myself in Luling again, I'd eat there again.

As others have stated, the food and service were both excellent! Well worth the short detour off of Hwy 10 and best tortillas I've had in a while - soft, warm, large, fresh and stood up well to over medium eggs, hash browns and bacon. Coffee was also great.

Never Judge a book by its cover, from the outside it might not look like much, but let me tell you this is the best Mexican I have had in a very long time. From the homemade tortillas to the amazing menudo this place is a must try. Barbacoa was absolutely amazing not greasy at all tortillas are sturdy absolutely amazing experience. Must come again

Driving from Galveston to San Antonio we want a quick meal. If you want authentic Mexican you will find it here. This isn't a fancy chain, or anything upscale. Good food at a good price

My Mom's name is Asuzena, so when I saw this place I had to stop!!! The homemade tortillas were great, better than my Mom's and tacos filling from carne guisada to bacon, potato and egg were on point. The place was reasonably priced, glad to support small business!

This place is 10/10!! Food and service was great, the food was delicious!! I had a menudo and taco de barbacoa and the tortillas are hand made, husband got birria tacos which he loved as well.. agua de horchata was delicious. Real authentic Mexican food

Don't let the outside deceive you and if you do then shame on you. Azucena's was delicious! Both corn and flour tortillas are homemade. We wanted to try an assortment of tacos, which were all reasonably priced, and all were equally freshly made to perfection.I can't wait to drive back thru Luling just to eat here again.

In general, great Mexican food and BBQ are found in 'joints'. So when you read comments about this restaurant and first see it some may be taken aback by the building itself....don't be. This place serves awesome breakfast tacos, and at a good price. Service has always been friendly, and they have a drive-thru in the back of the building. In short, it's a great joint that you won't regret trying!

Would give them negative stars for service if possible. Food was mediocre at best but service was downright abhorrent, they did have a somewhat decent agua fresca though.
