I was getting a Poor Boy sandwich from my favorite sandwich shop, Terrace Market. My brother and I decided we should get at least one taco to try. I ordered a regular Al Pastor taco and my brother got a carne asada taco. It comes with two street taco size tortillas, meat, onions, cilantro and we asked for mild sauce. There is enough meat to make two tacos so I split the meat and had two tacos. The Al pastor had good flavor and the overall taco was good. The meat was not as moist as I like but it was good. My brother said his carne asada had good flavor too. My brother and I both liked the tacos and will be back to try some of the other dishes. It looks like a family run business. They are very nice people, go support Ciudad Azteca Taqueria. read more

Stumbled upon this hidden gem while grabbing a sandwich at the Deli Nextdoor. We gave it a try the following week and has now become a weekly stop for my Dad and I. The food is so fresh and authentic, I feel like I'm eating at my families home. We have tried the tacos, shrimp tacos, fish tacos, shrimp quesadillas and Caldo de res. Everything was sooo good , we even ordered food to go to give to family. The staff are so sweet which makes the experience even better. They have seating inside with beautiful pictures of Lowriders on the wall. read more

We were in the area for something else and this was the only food place within walking distance so we decided to give it a try. The place is small with about 8-10 seats but even for a Saturday lunch time it was pretty empty. We ordered a super taco and guacamole and chips. The super taco was probably the worst taco I've had in a looooong time. It was bland, soggy and basically just sour cream. I had 1 bite and could not stomach any more. It tasted of nothing with a blob of sour cream on top. The guacamole and chips were just as bad as the taco. It was not guacamole, it was a cilantro SAUCE with a hint of guacamole. It was so soupy I had to ask the cashier if I had ordered salsa or guacamole and she said that was their guacamole... it tasted like absolutely nothing, I had to ask for salt and like to try to salvage it but it didn't do much. All in all I would never come back and this was some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had in my life but the cashier was really nice and friendly and that's why I gave them 2 stars. read more

Great hole in the wall place to eat!!! Super friendly and quick service. We have tried so many things here and all have been a 10 out of 10!

Love this place! We only take things to go, as it is super small with bad parking. The prices are super reasonable and the lady that works there is great. I think she is the owner, not sure. She always remembers us and how we like things. The flavors and quality is super fresh. read more

I had made a To Go order for their special of the day, Caldo De Res (beef soup), & it was some of the best I have tried. The broth was so flavorful & was filled with plenty of vegetables & tender chunks of meat. I also ordered my son their extra large super burrito (which comes with two meats) & he was taken back by the size. He ate half & saved the other half for the next day. Another visit I ordered To Go their Saturday special of Menudo. Again a great choice. I will definately be coming back for more. They offered me curbside service when I called to ask for it due to me having mobility issues & they happily obliged. I'm happy with the items I have ordered, their reasonable pricing & their great customer service. I highly recommend & support this small business & hope you will too. read more

Came here to have some burritos and was such a DISAPPOINTMENT! Grilled chicken, and carne asada were flavorless! No seasoning whatsoever, the tacos al pastor lacked meat and were full of fatty meat and the tortillas we're so dry. Aparte que los burritos se desenvolvieron El pollo asado y la carne asada le hace falta sazon! La carne estaba súper simple la mera verdad que DECEPCIÓN los tacos al pastor llenos de pura grasa y las tortillas súper secas. Qué decepción venir aquí Jamás recomendaría este restaurante read more

I Really Wanted To Like This Little Whole In The Wall. Unfortunately, It Disappointed! I Went In With High Expectations Searching For A Vegetarian Burrito Since Some Of The Reviews Seemed Promising. I Got Their Signature Azteca Veggie Burrito (No Sour Cream, No Cheese). The Veggies Inside Were Onions, Green & Red Bell Peppers & Lettuce, They Were Tasteless. As If All They Did Was Cook The Veggies In Oil. No Seasonings, Didn't Even Looked Sautéed. I Ended Up Eating Only Half Of The Burrito Had To Discard The Rest. Sad To Say Won't Be Coming Here Again. First Off, You Can't Eat There. They Have Sign On The Mesh Door To Wait & Order At The Door. (Covid?) Second, You Order Through The Mesh Door & Lady Just Slightly Opens The Door To Take Your Form Of Payment. Yet No One Is Wearing Masks. Third, This Is For The Three Stars. They Are Pretty Quick In Making Your Food. I Waited Outside No More Than 5-6 Minutes! Lady That Took My Order Came Outside To Hand Me My Food! read more

I moved to the neighborhood three years ago and never tried . Therefore , one day after taking a scroll decided to try. The restaurant doesn't look too appealing and upon walking in I don't see any cooking . I ordered al pastor super burrito and upon waiting I don't see them cook the meat or anything , they may have microwaved it. The burrito was such a disappointment, meat was dry and not flavorful. Tasted old. The beans seems like it's from the can and guacamole was so watery . Never again as I had major diarrhea read more

Hmmm I was really hyped up about this steak and shrimp burrito, BUT it was just lacking flavor. I even took nice photos because I was so excited -_-, Definitely not worth the 19 something bucks between this and the Tamarind drink LOL. Sorry, I really try to enjoy it, but just didn't... Well at least I got some dope photos. Have a nice day! read more

Found this place after taking my car in to get a wash. I ordered food to go as the place was not open for dine-in anyway. I ordered a super hurrache and enchiladas verdes plate which came with rice and beans to try out. Both were good, but I'm not sure if it was enough for me to want to come back unless I were already in the area. The staff was super kind and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new spot to try! read more

Definitely gotta try this little gem in San Leandro area my specialty are the vegetarian sopes omg !!! I tell them to make my tortilla more crunchy and ohhhhh boy ! You can also add meat to it but I feeder mines w/o meat (: Should definitely give them a try , as they have variety to choose from the menus read more

Average at best. Super chicken burrito had 8 beans, was more than 1/2 lettuce and had no flavor....had to go find salt just to try to enhance the salad put inside. There was so little chicken, I don't even know if it was white or dark meat. Salsa was the super traditional, chili in oil....totally fine....but again....no flavor, not even really hot. It was just "there". I eat a lot of chili....this was disappointing. They were nice, food was timely...but, wouldn't go back unless it was my only choice.....and in CA...lots of taquerias around. My mother-in-law taught me better. read more

Oh man, I am so mad at myself. I have lived down the street from Ciudad Azteca for 5.5 years and only first tried it today. What a mistake --- I have missed out on this delicious food for the last 5.5 years!!!! I have driven and walked past here so many times but recently was reccomended to try it. I love Mexican food, and a good taqueria walking distance from my house is pretty much the dream. I was craving tacos today and decided to order a carnitas taco, a shrimp taco, and a fish taco. I placed my order online directly through their website, and picked up 15 mins later. The tacos were SO GOOD. Tons of good sized shrimp, lightly battered and perfectly crispy fish, super flavorful and tender carnitas, all topped with complementary toppings. They were quite good portions too---3 tacos was PLENTY for me, if I were a bit less hungry even 2 would have been good. The salsas were super tasty too--the red is VERY spicy (which I like, but if you don't like too much spice, use with caution!), the green much more mild (and perfect on the seafood tacos). They don't just have tacos--burritos, enchiladas, chile relleno, quesadillas, etc are all on their menu too. My only regret here is waiting so long to try them. I will for sure be back! read more

**TAKE OUT TACOS ONLY** Couple of days ago I was buying deli sammies next door when I saw this place. I decided that at $2 a taco, I was going to give them a try. I would like to preface this by saying the lady who helped me was WONDERFUL. She gave great customer service and answered all my questions. I ordered 5 tacos - 2 carnitas, 1 pollo asada, 1 carne asada, 1 al pastor. I asked for no salsa on any of them, but to put it on the side because I wanted to taste the flavor of the meats. I'd previously read prior reviews stating the meat was bland so I wanted to see for myself. I can honestly say that sadly, it was true. All 5 of those tacos tasted the same. Had I not known what I personally ordered, I wouldnt be able to tell the difference. I then had to put salsa and lime on all the tacos just for them to have flavor. Everyone knows that a good taco wont need salsa if the flavors are there. The salsa is to enhance the flavor of the taco. I may give them another try somewhere down the line, but as for right now, I'm still on the hunt for a good flavorful taco in the area.. read more

Ciudad Azteca Taqueria - $2 tacos all day everyday! - Mexican Near Me - San Leandro, California

I'd have tacos any day, but what's better than $1 Taco Tuesdays?! I'm so glad my friend recommended we grab dinner here since you just don't find these kind of cheap, authentic tacos in the bay area. I decided to try every kind of meat on the menu, so got 4 tacos. Carne Asada (Grilled Steak) has always been an all-time favorite, so tasty but a bit too charred on some pieces. The Pollo (Chicken) and Carnitas (Boiled Pork) was good, but a-okay. It was the Carnitas (Marinated Pork) that surprised me the most with its flavors --definitely a must here! The tacos here are pretty simple with a single tortilla, onion, cilantro, and salsa for their basic dollar tacos, but what more do you really need? They do offer a mild and a hot salsa, which typical me chose hot. In any case, their hot salsa is truly spicy with a real kick to it --so fair warning. But no better spot for some cheap, good ol' authentic tacos. If only this place was closer to me. read more

Ciudad Azteca Taqueria - Carne Asada, Pollo, Al Pastor, and Carnitas Tacos with Hot Sauce. - Mexican Near Me - San Leandro, California

My Husband loves this restaurant but I wasn't a big fan at first. I'd always order chicken and thought it was rather bland. Until I tried their carne asada burritos which was a gateway to their tortas which are excellent! My favorites are the carne asada torta and the chicken Milanese torta. I crave one of these at least once a week. The bread has a great crust and the fillings are delicious. read more

This will be a mixed review. I ordered the basic carne asada tacos and Al pastor. Both are disappointing. Meat tasted flavorless and dry. My guess is that they are precooked for a while. However, my husband ordered fish (freshly fried) tacos and supreme tacos, he enjoyed them. read more

Wow I am surprised how good this taco spot in San Leandro is (coming from oakland: land of taco trucks and Mexican restaurants galore). I'd definitely rate this as one of my top 5 best taco places We came and ordered 10 tacos and a super salad to go. It was around 7pm and they only had enough al pastor for my salad. And for that I'm glad because I got to try their carnitas (which I usually don't like because i find it dry and bland) but Ciudad Azteca makes it differently! Cubed and perfectly seasoned. And where can you find tacos for $1.50 these days?! They have them for $1 on Taco Tuesdays. The difference is on Tuesdays they are single tortilla, a little less meat, and cannot be ordered with salsa on the side. Warning: their spicy sauce packs HEAT Minus a star because I didn't really like the salad, it had large slices of tomatoes and avocado. Would have preferred pico de gallo for more flavor. Was mostly iceberg lettuce. Wish they had pickled jalepenos and agua fresca, now that would make the meal complete. read more
