I recently learned that Horchata is not, in fact, an alcoholic beverage. I also learned Horchata is freaking delicious. Why has this been hidden from me for 30 years?!After plans for sushi fell through, a close friend and I decided to go here for dinner. I tried the Tacos Al Pastor and, of course, that lovely rice milk beverage.With the Tacos Al Pastor, these were very good, but just a little shy of perfection for my taste. I like that they seemed very traditional and authentic. Comprising them were protein, onion, cilantro, and a sauce. Everything was well-balanced. The onion and cilantro were not overdone at all and made themselves known without turning a taco into a taco salad. The sauce added flavor but was not overpowering. Where the taco comes short has to deal with the protein. While flavorful, I found it heavier on the acidic and salty side than I prefer. I was also unable to pick up on any pineapple notes that one usually finds in Al Pastor-style meat. I am not sure if this is a result of the meat, the sauce, or my own ignorance as to what makes a real Al Pastor.When it comes to the Horchata, this one was divine. It was not too sweet, and the flavors of rice, cinnamon, and vanilla (I believe), all came together in beautiful, rich harmony. Thanks to The Aztec Restaurant and, of course, my friend, this is now a beverage I will seek out every time I'm at a Mexican restaurant, and the bar has been set high!Finally, the location was cute, and the service was friendly and speedy. Alas, The Aztec Restaurant is a little out-of-the-way for me, so I wouldn't be able to go there very often. However, I will credit them for being a wonderful alternative to the sushi that fell through, even though the categories are different. Was I a little bit closer, I do see myself coming here on occasion.

Went to Aztec for the first time tonight with my family. Everything we ordered was great and the service was excellent. Combo fajitas, giant burrito, chorizo queso dip all 5 stars. Will definitely be back.

Very disappointed. The cheese was American and not even melted on the chips appetizer. Food service quality food. The guacamole tasted like it had mayo in it. The beans were puréed and had hardly any flavor. The beer was cold at least and the waitress was nice.

This has become our go to local place for Mexican food. Everything is fairly good so we tend to rotate our orders around a bit. Pick up is efficient and friendly. I need to dine in soon as the interior looks nice.

Have been going here for years as it is close to home. Ownership has gradually upgrading the interior and added outdoor seating with an overhead mesh to provide shade. Pleasant staff, good food, local feel, fresh ingredients. If you like TexMex there will be plenty options that you will like. Better for lunch as the lighting is too harsh at night and it can get crowded and quite loud at dinner. Prices have increased dramatically but that seems to be a problem everywhere.

Food is delicious, I've only used pickup or delivery, but never eat in. I'm from the Southwest & really miss some authentic Sonoran style Mexican food. Was so happy to find cAztec.

The best and most authentic street tacos I've found in Massachusetts! They are always 10/10.

moved to Ashland 4 years ago from North Carolina. I have not been able to find a Mexican restaurant that I like until tonight. I ate at The Aztec for the first time today with my family. Everything we got was great. I will definitely go there anytime I want Mexican food. The service was great and good environment

It must be under new management. Prices have gone up significantly like everywhere else which would not be a problem, but... the food quality has gone down. I have been a regular there for many many years, but last week this came to an end. Ordered their giant burrito and it used to come all kinds of fixings on top and side. This time I got a pretty much naked burrito with some mole on the side. Great- I thought- they put everything inside (which is ok too). Nope. The burrito was mostly rice with a bit of the meat I ordered. The cheapening of the offering was obvious and was absolutely unwarranted given the price I will not be going there anymore as there are a few alternatives in the area. Sorry.
