We have been devoted "El Aztecans" for almost 20 years. Our tradition includes dinner at El Azteca with our family, almost weekly, after church services. When we visit without the kids (now in their 20s), it is not uncommon that restaurant staff asks about them. Times have changed, but I vividly remember crayons and placemats with activities for the kids to color. One thing that never changed was the hospitality of the staff and the quality of the food served. The restaurant is popular for dine-in, as well as takeout and delivery. When dining at the restaurant, there are three dining areas, one of which is the bar which includes some seats at the counter, tables, and a few high top tables. There are at least three televisions broadcasting sporting events. I highly recommend the Chile con Queso appetizer, Mole Enchiladas, Enchiladas Verdes, and Tacos al Pastor. Forgive the lack of photos, we dug in before I thought to take any. Hope to see you there!

Local spot that is going to be celebrating its 30th anniversary this October! If a restaurant has been around for that long, they're something special about it. And I was right Food: As soon as I sat down warm chips and salsa were on the table before I could take my jacket off. I ordered the seafood ceviche which comes with shrimp, fish, scallops, peppers, squid, onions, cilantro and chunks of avocado. What a first impression, it's fresh and there's enough to satisfy two people. The seasoning for all of my food was spot on. Not too spicy but not bland. I ordered the shrimp fajitas which has a little kick to it. For the first time, I'm not reaching for hot sauce. Right now there's a watermelon margarita special and I also tried the passion fruit margarita. If you are here with a friend just order the pitcher because one margarita is never enough! Service: Friendly service. Our waiter checked on us often and cleared plates and glasses when necessary. Ambiance: It is a little dark inside. There's a bar area and two areas for regular seating. The four top seating by the bar is my favorite place to sit! The seats are comfortable and they have three televisions with sports on. Overall: This is a wonderful spot to celebrate your taco Tuesday!

A pretty good community restaurant, being in this area over 30 years. Quite decent food and people here.

Not sure when this restaurant opened, but WOW! Super excited to have a tasty Mexican restaurant nearby! We arrived around 8pm on Friday evening to no wait. We opted to sit at the bar, as that was a bit more spacious than what it looked to be at the tables. It is a cut little restaurant with more tables than you'd expect from looking at it from the outside (not a bad thing!). We were welcomed by the bartender. She was incredibly pleasant and quickly got us our order, margarita and waters. We asked her opinion for recommendations, she said anything under Gilberto's Specials was a good choice, so we focused there. The first basket of chips and salsa is on the house, follow on rounds are $3/ea ($2 for chips + $1 for salsa). Two of us opted to share the El Plato Placero with Steak. Neither of us were prepared for the size of the meal - this could very easily be shared between 3 people. We found it amusing that they only give you two tortillas for all this food. You'd have to pile 6" of food on tortilla and probably still have food leftover. The margs were strong and go down very easily - super yummy. We will definitely be back in the future. This place is located in a strip mall with a parking lot out front. The lot isn't huge and I could see it filling up during a busy time, we had zero issues parking right out front of the restaurant.

El Azteca has been a go-to staple for my family for more than 20 years and it never ceases to please. With a pleasant atmosphere accented by authentic decor and serving staff that are attentive, El Azteca sets the stage for can't go wrong south-of-the-border dining. The atmospheric set up, is matched by consistently well prepared cuisine. Rarely have I ever been served any food that is less than delicious. Most recently, my party of three enjoyed: crunchy ground beef, corn tacos; a combination of beef tamale and cheese stuffed chile-relleno; and pork carnitas. All meals were served with rice and beans except the carnitas which were accompanied by beans and tortillas. We also ordered a vanilla and a chocolate fried ice cream, flan and an Azteca coffee for dessert. The Chile-relleno consisted of sweet anaheim pepper stuffed with Jack cheese and was not batter fried as has been my typical experience with this dish. The beef tamale was served on a corn husk, and was moist and flavorful with masa that was prepared perfectly. The pork carnitas were tender, juicy and very rich. The desserts were delicious the Azteca coffee was very sweet and was served cold though which was a surprise. Altogether our bill with three meals, desserts, one beer with two sodas and the coffee amounted to about 100.00 which is affordable and a price well worth the consistent quality. As expected El Azteca served quality Mexican food at an affordable price with good service and which is not always common. We will keep coming back!

Wow, so good in every way! I met my friend for lunch yesterday and was impressed by everything. It's in a small strip mall but there was ample, free parking. We were seated immediately and drink orders taken. I worked in food service many years ago, and I am always noticing the finer points, as it were, of giving good service. I was very impressed with the pacing and amount of contact we received. I believe their name was Lily (presented as female but I'm practicing at not making assumptions!). My burrito grande with pork was absolute perfection with the tender chunks of meat melding beautifully with the rice, peppers and cheese. I took half of everything home for later, as it was large and there were the requisite portions of refries and rice, too. I had the El Azteca margarita and the drink was fine. But as I told my friend, having not had a margarita for years, I put too much expectation on it being wonderful and it was just ... good. If I hadn't added the drink, my lunch would have been under $20 with a 20% tip. It ended up at around $30, but as I said I'm getting a second meal out of it so it's all good.

The restaurant has an unassuming outdoor facade but when you enter the decor and atmosphere is really nice. The service is really quick and the staff is very friendly. They check-in frequently and bring out food and drinks quickly. As a vegetarian there were quite a few options. The combo is $14 and is a nice however I wish the rice and beans portion was a bit larger. We ordered the xangos for desert which was delicious. I would definitely come back!

I ordered the Combination Fajitas (chicken and steak) and was immediately hit by a very nice aroma when I opened my box. Everything looked and tasted great! I think it's a pretty fair serving for almost $20 as well - I probably could've shared the one order with another person for lunch The guac was great too My order was ready within 15 min at peak lunch time and the staff that brought my order out for contactless pickup was also very kind. No complaints at all and will definitely come back soon

This was my first visit here. It was packed when we got there on Black Friday around 7. We sat at the bar until a table was available which was around 7:30. Great food. The Queso Fundido was cheesy and had a generous amount of chorizo and mushrooms compared to other places I've had it. The Taquitos were good. I have only had frozen ones from the grocery so it was nice to eat fresh ones. I've never had it with guacamole or sour cream so that was unique. The beef for the fajitas was tender. Our server Annabelle was wonderful and took care of our table of five. She kept the drinks coming. Really great service and food. I look forward to trying other items at our next visit.

I've been here a couple of times now and plan to go back! It's a non fussy smallish Mexican place serving up authentic Mexican food as well as American favorites. Today I ordered the pork burrito with green salsa, which was mild on the spice scale but had a lot of flavor and the pork was very tender. My mezcalita was pretty good too. My husband and I agreed the salsa was really tasty - it had just enough kick to it without being too spicy.

We left our name and number in our party and they called us from the car. Was a quick turn around. First, we had an amazing server, Juan. He really was outstanding and it makes such a difference in the whole course of your meal!! The chips and salsa were served and we ordered a pitcher of Margaritas, well poured - very on point! We had appetizer for the table, Queso Fundido. It's was a plate of cheese and chorizo on top. They give you a nice size helping! Was very warm and tasted so good!! It comes with tortillas, pico and sour cream. I had the Shrimp dinner special. The shrimp was jumbo and in this butter white sauce. Cooked perfectly. Came with rice and a salad. Friends got Combo Fajitas and the steak was so tender and a good portion. Seafood enchiladas were good- wish they were in a white sauce. Overall, a great dinner and service was just superb!

Fun venue for dinner! We were in the area and I remembered this venue for the great memories with our kids growing up. We would go by after a long day at the pool and gym. Yes, this is comfort food! Shoutout to our local community heroes for keeping this spot a treasure still!!! Great staff and friendly clientele! Now that our kids are all grown up and we moved back from Texas, we asked to sit at the bar to check out scene. Clase de Azule Tequila and yummy sangria were on our must have list tonight. The area is offset from the main dining room with perfect scene of a relaxing zone while the families dined on all the yummy cuisine. Our kids always like the chicken fingers and fried ice cream! But tonight we switched our gears on our first grownup dining experience. We had a dish of extra spicy salsa with our chips, a dish of beautifully plated refreshing ceviche, and a melted cheese chorizo dish with cheese pull off the charts! So well balanced and with generous portions! Main courses was grilled fish, rice, and salad ! Hubby and I had a great meal ! The bartender was just the best! He took great care of us! The staff worked like a well oiled machine! The other patrons were happy and friendly and told us whatever we picked for dinner would be a good choice!!
