    Chile rellanos no sauce
    Bri B.

    I honestly don't know what happened to this place...a new chef? New ownership? I went here with my dad last night and what a 180degree change. It had been maybe 4 months since we'd been here but it was an entirely different establishment. They had to have changed the salsa recipe, it takes like ketchup with chunks of tomato and onion added into it and it is so sweet, no spice what so ever. The chips were cold when they were brought to the table. The margarita my dad ordered (a small) was actually tiny, and tasted like it had no alcohol. The price was unbelievable, almost double what we pay at other places and no BOGO offer. The food was just....bland. I felt like I was chewing, but there was no flavor. I asked for their "burrito" sauce on the side of my chile rellenos and thank god I did it was worse than the salsa (sweet and runny but random chunks of vegetables throughout). The rice was dried out, the refried beans were cakey and the tortillas tasted store bought. The guacomole was old since the avocado was a blackish green. I left a good chunk of my food on the plate. Our waitress was MIA for most of the experience. From the time we were seated to the time we had our order taken almost 15 minutes had passed and they only had 3 other tables at the restaurant. They also increased their prices on a lot of items, but the quality sure has gone downhill. Sadly I don't think we'll be back to this establishment to see if this was a one time fluke, too many other tex-mex places in the area to go back and waste your hard earned money on something mediocre. This used to be one of our favorite spots to go for over 5 years...really sad to write this review.

    I have been eating here forever and I've always loved it. My family started going here 20 years ago, which definitely says something. The food comes out quickly- usually under 10 minutes for everything and they always get my order right when I make special requests. I think the food is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and quick to check on you or refill your drink. I love their shredded beef, camarones a la diabla and the steak azteca. Their layout is more spread out so you don't feel squished against the next table even when the place is packed or when you have kids with you. Parking can be a bit crazy if you go at dinner time or on mother's day, but there's always the option to park on the street.

    This is my grandparents favorite place. My partner had the taco salad deluxe and loved it. I had the chicken fajitas which were very good. The service here is always excellent. Located just smack dab across the street from your local Walmart, El Azteca is hidden in plain sight in the shadows of the big box giant. Don't overlook it!

    Nothing was made fresh (everything frozen or packaged) and had no flavor. Plus they charge for chips, what kind of Mexican place is that...

    Taqueria Don Pancho - Tacos plate - barbacoa, lomo de res, carnitas

    Classic hole in the wall spot on the east side of GB. I tried once before and it was closed because…read morethey decided to call it a day. This time open and they take cards. My coworker said this place was legit. The salsa looked homeade and not all tomatoey like some. Tostaditos were par. I ordered the taco plate. Barbacoa, lomo de res, and carnitas. Plate came with sides of beans, rice, and obligatory salad. Limes, avocados, and red / green salsa available. The tacos were delicious and rather large portion. The lomo de res was a generous portion of steak that I couldn't believe was one taco. Carnitas diced good size and more on the done side. Barbacoa also delicious. I really enjoyed the beans and rice. Generally a single taco ran in the $2.50 range. I think the plate was $9.50ish. The horchato was better then I expected. This isn't a place you come for happy hour and slurp margaritas. Service was swift. Food prepared fairly quick. Looked like a nice mom and pop type place with good eats. I hope it doesnt change.

    Wow! I was over by my Aunt's house and wanted a bite to eat. My wife and I thought we would give it…read morea try. The place was not even on Yelp yet. I had to add it to do this review. I ordered a chicken burrito and my wife had shrimp fajitas. The waitress was very nice and she suggested a (non-alcoholic they don't serve alcohol) drink to us because my wife wasn't sure what she wanted. Not sure what it was but it had kinda milky and was excellent. The food came and wow! Very flavorful. We both took home the leftover for later. We both left full and happy. I don't often think to say anything but to the waitress but I had to tell the chef, "muey Bueno". Definitely stop in here!
