    Texas Margarita Victoria Beer
    Ben K.

    In the mood for a chill, quick bite, we headed to El Azteca because it's close to our house! Plenty of parking available in their dedicated lot. The interior of the space was well decorated, with plenty of seating for various group sizes. Our server was on top of everything... Even without writing a single thing down. No mistakes on our slightly complicated orders. The food was great! No frills, but not a bad bite. I ordered the Burrito Mex, which came with half steak and half chicken, onions, and all the traditional sides. It was a great serving size and tasted solid! The meat was a bit dry but nothing some of the included cheese sauce couldn't fix. We'd definitely go back!

    Ordered takeout this time but have dined in multiple times before. Service is fast and friendly! I ordered guacamole, and chicken fried rice which is just arroz con pollo with a different name. The guacamole was chunky yet creamy and hit the spot! The chicken fried rice was cheesy and filling and was a large portion. I'd order some side tortillas with this dish next time since they aren't already included. Other menu items I've had here before have also hit the spot! This restaurant is worth checking out if you are in the area.

    Chips and dip
    Eyely B.

    The food here was good, left very full and I took my whole meal home after lots of chips and dip. This restaurant was one of the more pricer Mexican restaurants that we have been to in the area. We got here around 4:45 on a Friday night, not many people in to begin with. Service was pretty slow and the waiter only came over if it was pretty evident that we needed him. Ambiance was nice, we wanted to sit outside on the patio due to it being 70°+ but they did not have patio furniture out. Overall it is nice because it is so close to us, but in the future we would probably go to a different Mexican restaurant in the future.

    Quesadilla

    We stopped by later in the evening and it wasn't too busy. The food was okay. My husband liked his quesadilla. I had the Enchiladas Vegetarianas and once again they weren't very warm inside. We had to flag down another waiter after 10 minutes to obtain our check.

    Burrito San Jose

    The Fresh guacamole was amazing, lots of flavor along with my burrito San Jose, I would get both items again the next time we go there. Food had a lot of flavor, highly recommend if looking for good Mexican food

    I've been here many times, the food is always good. They give you free chips, salsa, and white sauce while dining in. I love the white sauce, which is one of the reasons I eat here. The staff always seems friendly and they have good service. They have seating indoors and outdoors.

    Some restaurants earn a second visit. The good ones make you start planning a third before you even…read moreleave. That's exactly how we felt after coming back here. Our first visit was during a limited-menu event, so we wanted to experience everything the full menu had to offer. This time definitely delivered. We grabbed a table on the patio, which made for a great evening. Service was friendly and efficient, and the complimentary chips and salsa hit the table almost immediately. The salsa had just enough kick to keep us reaching for another chip. My wife stuck with what she knew and ordered the Choriburrito again. After loving it the first time, she wasn't about to change a good thing, and it was every bit as good as she remembered. I decided to branch out with the Chimichanga Sampler, and it was easily the highlight of the meal. Each chimichanga brought its own flavor profile, making it fun to work through the plate instead of feeling repetitive. The pulled chicken was tender and well-seasoned, while the seafood version stood out with rich flavor and was my personal favorite. After two visits, it's safe to say this has become one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. There are still plenty of menu items we're excited to try, so we'll definitely be back.

    I'm convinced that a bad day can be cured with a margarita and chips. I tried Mi Pueblo when I was…read morelooking for a margarita after a long day. Mi Pueblo provided that and more! We were seated right away and promptly given chips and salsa while we looked over the menu. After ordering, the food came out in less than 15 minutes. Their kitchen was so fast! I had the arroz con pollo and my spouse had the chimichangas. Both dishes were covered in cheese sauce. The meats in each dish were juicy and full of flavor. The margaritas are offered blended or on the rocks. I had a blended one. I'd order on the rocks next time since the blended version was very filling. The service was quick and attentive. Thanks for a great dinner Mi Pueblo!

The steak asada tacos are my favorite -- the beef is perfectly salted and so flavorful. I also enjoyed the chicken tinga tacos, which has a tomato-based adobo sauce. The barbacoa tacos were juicy but I would've liked a little more salt. Don't miss the condiment area, where you can get lime wedges and mild, medium, and hot salsas. The mild salsa wasn't spicy at all and added nice flavor to the tacos. The medium salsa isn't that spicy if you have a spice tolerance. The hot salsa is more hot than flavorful. Food is made quickly and service is friendly.

My daughter has been here numerous times and recommended this place for tacos. We put in our order and waited for our number to be called. We grabbed our drinks and sauces while they cooked our food. We sat by the front where the high tops are looking into a glass. You can see the lady making fresh tortillas and they have the machete tacos too!! These are 1 feet taco, equivalent to 3 tacos. I will have to order it next time. Alot of people came to order takeout, otherwise the restaurant was full of patrons with their family. Restaurant is a good size, clean, and self service.

I always go to Las Tortillas when I'm looking for a quesadilla. I've tried other entrees here but always go back for the quesadilla. The tortilla is grilled and golden brown on the outside.

The interior of the space is lively, with an open kitchen, bar area, and small dining room! Great vibe without the gimmicky American Mexican restaurant decor and feel! I will say that there is no area to wait if there's a line, so you're kinda awkwardly lined up against the wall in the dining room, which was less than desirable. By the time we actually got seated, it took a long time for a server to arrive. I get that it was busy, but for a small dining room, you'd expect a check-in from a server within 5-10 minutes of sitting down, which was not the case. Of note, they charge for chips and salsa...so if you're expecting that complimentary, you'll have to go elsewhere. We ordered the Mexican Flag (queso, guac, and salsa) which was great!! We ordered the Chimichanga and the Shrimp Fajitas for our entrees. A tale of two different worlds on this front...the Chimichanga was TOP NOTCH! So tasty, full of meat, and drizzled with a lovely sauce. The Shrimp Fajitas were mid....small serving of actual shrimp, with too much veggies, and the flour tortillas were hard when they arrived. Not a bad spot by any means, but some room for improvement!
