    Birria tacos.
    Dan H.

    We've been here several times. Our first was during Covid and we ordered delivery it was so good we've kept coming back. This time I had the Birria tacos. They were excellent with a cheesy crunch on the tortillas and delicious birria dip. My wife had the mix burrito with Al pastor and it was also great. Carlos has served us multiple times and he is always right on top of things. The decor of the restaurant is an Aztec and Mexico theme. Bathrooms are clean and smell sanitary. We're definitely coming back again and again.

    First time coming here and the service was excellent. They have a Monday- Friday happy hour with $5 margaritas. The food was delicious . Definitely coming back

    Happy Hour Menu

    Came back a couple years later for another happy hour, but this time isn't as good as 2 years ago. I blame COVID as the prices went up and the food quantity went down. Still not a bad place for happy hours, but just not as great of a deal as before. The Mexican taco plate said 3 tortillas with choice of meat. I thought it was going to be 3 tacos, but it only had enough meat for 1 taco. Maybe 1.5 tacos.

    Haven't been here for happy hours yet but will soon.

    Ok. So I know I just posted a couple days ago, but we came in today to eat and try a Moscow Mule made by Carlos (I know it doesn't belong in a Mexican restaurant, but it is my favorite drink). This was in my top 3 Moscow Mules I have had. This was very close to the best ever that I had in a high end bar in Las Vegas. It was soo well balanced and delicious . Our food again was amazing. All of the flavors here a rich and deep. We ordered the same as last time, the enchiladas trio and chili rellenos. We had forgotten we were going to try the fajitas next . Oh well, I guess that means we have to come back .

    Beautiful mural. Had to take a picture.

    Had gone into this shopping area looking for the Sushi restaurant. Closed. Noticed this place and headed towards it. We could hear the Mexican music playing and instantly loved it. It was really busy, but we were seated and brought menus, chips and water right away. Our waiter was fabulous and very courteous. We also noticed that the waiters and waitresses all help each other with all the customers. I had the Mexican Shrimp Salad that was so delicious. I had enough to take home for tomorrow's lunch. The broth was the best I have ever tasted. My husband had the Carnitas fries and a piece of Flan. He loved both. Prices were a bit on the high side for some of the dishes, but we felt it was definitely worth it and come back next time we are in this area.

    We had an overall good experience . Waiter was very kind . we ordered the menudo and we enjoyed it and the michelada was good too ! Our friends got the mole enchiladas and they were also tasty

    I'm very disappointed for the price. I ordered fajitas ($40), and a super wet burrito ($25) and it really was a meal that should've been $30 tops. In my burrito I asked for just refried beans, meat and cheese, no rice or fajita veggies and my burrito had that, but was small and consisted of one small smudge of beans. I paid $25, you can at least replace the other ingredients I removed for the others I asked for. And the fajitas were very basic, nothing special. The meat was very fatty and came with three tortillas for $40.. The food did not taste bad, but seriously! That should be a crime to charge so much for such a basic meal. If you want to pay twice as much as another Mexican restaurant for the same food, come to cantina Azteca. I really enjoyed eating here in person before, but I won't ever order to go again.

    Wanted to try this place and got the chance since we were in the area. I ordered the prime fajitas. It was okay but it was not that much in terms of food portion and since I generally don't like bell peppers, this dish was not for me. It tasted good though. Our server forgot to gave us the complimentary chips and I even had to ask for it. Another downside here was it was quite expensive here.

    The menu

    The location is alright. It's in the heart of Fair Oaks surrounded by many other businesses and shopping centers. It's about as suburban as you can get. There is a parking lot so that should not be an issue. We came in a large party so it was expected that the service would be alright. They were able to split the check which was awesome. The food came out in a reasonable time, about 15-20 minutes. The prices are about average for a restaurant. Expect to walk out of here for around $40 for a meal for two. The flavor was decent. Nothing to ride home about but also not bad. Just that sweet spot where the meal was filling and enjoyable. Their horchata was delicious and I quite enjoyed their rice. The only issue we faced was that our meal came with a topping that we asked to not be included. Might have been an oversight or a simple mistake, but on the "re-fry" it was wrong again! Coming from a restaurant background, I understand that mistakes happen so I'm not going to let it ruin my experience. Bottom line/TLDR: about average Mexican food restaurant.

    Delicious food, great service, very cute decorations! Fresh chips, and FANTASTIC vegan and vegetarian options. Can't wait to go back and try more!

    My mom enjoyed her taco salad but my dish was a small mole enchilada with old rice and beans. It was not something I enjoyed and I finished my plate still feeling hungry! It was a let down. The hibiscus drink was good but a bit sweet We came back another day just for their fresh juices- we got really good options and hope to come back for the drink , but not sure about the food

    Steak quesadilla
    Erica M.

    I picked up a steak quesadilla to eat while I waited at the dmv. I ordered right when I arrived and the meal was ready in less then five minutes. The host who helped me was very pleasant and friendly shout out Yasmin I believe. After opening my meal I realized she had included guacamole, salsa, chips, sour cream and another sauce I couldn't place a name to. It was awesome to have all the fixings without even asking. I would definitely return if im ever in the area.

    I've ordered from here twice. The first time I ordered enchiladas suizas and it came with red…read moresauce. "Suizas" sauce is a *green* sauce by definition. Since it tasted good even though red sauce isn't my favorite, I didn't complain. Today I ordered the same thing, and again it came with *red* sauce. I called the restaurant and they insisted that even though the online description said "green sauce" you had to specify if you wanted green sauce. They were not willing to admit fault or change the description, but she asked if we wanted to replace it and I said yes. My son went to pick it up and they tried to charge him for it!!! If a restaurant cannot make their food to match the description *they* posted, then why take the chance ordering there? I won't be again, that's for sure!

    Honestly sad that I have to leave a review because the food is pretty decent, but this business is…read morealways so stingy. I always deal with the same women, I ask for extra salsa on the side...which if I'm spending $100 on food should be 100% free for the amount of money I'm spending and the amount of food I have...but no she sends two small little cups of salsa for a order worth $100. I had to pay almost 10 bucks extra for salsa, and a small brown bag not even half way full of tortilla chips, at that point just don't even give any. Kinda ridiculous. Every other place I've been too provides salsa and they are more than happy to give you extra if you ask especially for the amount of food you are ordering. How can a big party share two tiny condiment size cups of salsa.
