The food was great. Staff was friendly and attentive. Music was authentic with a low volume allowing for good conversation.

First time, and the Menudo was only Hominy soup. Second time, I ordered the Jalapeño Dip... it was watery and had a stench to it Because in our tradition your not suppose to place heated food in the fridge right away. I'm Mexican and this is notttttt the place to go. Dry asada tacos and very over priced. Just being honest. Oh and not to mention the cook. Very unpolite and rude this lady is. Y si lo puedo dicir en espanol. Esa concinera, no debe estar trabajando la verdad. Su atitude era muy malo. El HONESTIDAD, PASALO. read more

"I wanted to let you know about my experience today. I ordered the carne asada, and both plates I received were extremely salty. I appreciated that the staff replaced it, but the second plate had the same issue, so I couldn't eat the meat. I did enjoy the rice and beans, but for a $20 plate I expected better quality. I just wanted to share this so you're aware." read more

I love this place. I was in town for 4 nights and ended up eating here twice! Very authentic Mexican street tacos. I had a carne asada (steak), carnitas (roasted pork), and Al Pastor (pork with pineapple) and all were excellent. Their sauces are also very fresh with a little heat. I went back for their breakfast burritos and they did not disappoint. Egg,potato, and cheese is my go-to. I added their green sauce and it was awesome. The folks who work here are very welcoming and the prices are very reasonable. I will be back! read more

Amazing food good customer service felt like I was in Mexico again if you ever go eat there try the quesadillas birria or there menudo

Service was great! But the food was very lacking, the birra tacos lacked flavor, and the shell was extremely soft, it was difficult to enjoy. The chips were fantastic best I've had but the queso was completely off putting, I thought it was wild rice soup at first with how thick is was. It was hard to eat and wasn't very good. Very confused how everyone's giving great reviews. Maybe I got the wrong items. Till next time. read more

This was one of the first restaurants I ate at after arriving in Minot, which was three years ago. I can now say that it's still a great little burrito spot. If you're looking for something fast and Chipotlesque, this is the best place to find it in Minot. The service was quick, even though the restaurant was filled with patrons, and the food was delicious. The interior seating area is very limited, so if it's packed be prepared to eat on the go. From the outside, the restaurant looks less than inviting but I promise the food is nothing like its outward appearance. Enjoy! read more

Love the food!!! Rave about the food! It's SO good. We always enjoy the tamales as well as the burritos. They have a jalapeño dip that's to die for with chips. The food preparers are always friendly, but they are a little slow to serve. I don't kind because I always know the food is fresh and popular. Prices are pretty high compared to other Mexican restaurants in town but El Azteca tips my list without a doubt! read more

Maybe you get a different experience with take out VS dining in? Firstly, I ordered a kids burrito that arrived in a container as just beans, chicken and cheese... where is the "burrito"? There is no tortilla doesn't help we are staying in a hotel due to our house flooding and we have no silverware. I got myself a chicken chimichanga with green chili.. no chili- it's plain. The Queso...??? It's melted shredded cheese.. I can't even scoop it to stay on the chip!! It is not at all like the reviews rave.. I'm confused. Gave 3 stars bc even though the order was horrible the pain chicken chimichanga wasn't horrible. Definitely considering less stars. Wouldn't try again. read more

I've been wanting to go here for years, so when my friend chose El Azteca for her birthday lunch I was thrilled! It was just as good as she said - incredible! Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had - and in North Dakota of all places! She told me to get the gorditas and I asked if they could make them with beans for me (I'm vegetarian) and they were happy to substitute. This is amazing good - the gorditas are thick and fried/crispy on each side. The beans and rice are flavorful, and the toppings are fantastic! I love the green sauce, pico, and sour cream with this food. Truly top notch stuff! read more

Not much to look at but built for speed!!! It is hands down the most authentic mex in town in casual categories. It almost like I am back in LA read more

So.. I'm not usually a fan of oversized burritos. I ordered a chicken chimichanga to go, when I got home and opened the box I was taken aback at the size of this thing... it was the size of a huge burrito and slathered with sour cream and guacamole. Tbh it wasn't the prettiest plate of food.. but I was starving and started eating and WHOA~! Delicioso~!!!! The shredded chicken in the chimichanga and overall flavor is some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while. I live in Denver and I have to drive across town to get food this good. Bueno!! 5 STARS FOR FLAVOR but I would feel better if the crew was masked up so i had to DEDUCT ONE STAR for the lack of basic Covid precautions. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in town. The staff are friendly and usually very happy. It's welcoming and if you have questions, they will talk you through. The meals are big enough to share. Cheese, sour cream, guacamole and pico (very good pico, has a lil bite) available for topping along with choice of green or red sauce. Don't forget the chips and salsa! Samples are out to try when you approach the register. Now available is tamales! $25 a dozen!! They also have a reward program, just enter your cell phone number at the kiosk by the register each time you visit to earn discounts. Changes I am not happy about: Combined beans and rice in one section of the 3 section container, and put lettuce and tomato in the other small section. It used to be the beans in one, rice in the other and lettuce/tomato with the main dish. I prefer the original way. I would rather have more beans. They no longer accept restaurant. com certificates (but they are still being sold, don't buy them, unless you want to have to trade them for another restaurant after denial) read more

Good food, cooked to order. Birria Soup was delicious . Get toppings for tacos on side and build your own. Overall the food is good, will return while here. read more

Ordered the Birria soup I have to say I was impressed. The flavor is great ! I just wish they would give more meat than they do tortilla strips in the soup. Also they did not provide salsa and the onion with cilantro hardly had cilantro, it was mostly onion. All in all though I'd say it's the most authentic Mexican dish I've had in Minot. Corn tortillas seemed to be home made! Super delish read more

Now for something like a piece of home and abroad. You need something yummy! QUICK AND Delicioso... Then thid is the place. It felt comfortable as I forgot I was speaking Spanish again naturally as I was in Honduras. No dialect misunderstanding when it comes to yummy comida.

El Azteca - Great Mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Minot, North Dakota

Staying at the Hampton Inn and craving some good Mexican food. Past by this place the previous few days and it always seems to be busy. So my coworker and I walked up from the hotel. This makes me feel like home. Mexican decor, music, and Spanish being spoken. Felt like I was back in Arizona. The food did not disappoint either. I had the chilie relleno burrito which was delich! They only dip their chilies in egg and fry them, no other coatings, the way they should be. The burrito had a good flavor and just the right amount of spice. My coworker ordered a shredded chicken burrito and chips and queso. The chips were good and the queso was excellent! I would definitely come back here again. read more

Great food for lunch. Queso was on point . However the employees will make fun of you to your face in Spanish. I don't think any customer should be called a "Puto" for asking for lettuce and tomato. If you're going to make fun of a customer, at least do it in the back! Will not be returning here read more

I love this place. Everytime I'm in Minot i come here. I have never been disappointed by the food or service. My favorites are the burritos (chicken pork), street tacos carnitas...my favorite salsa is the verde. read more

Best breakfast burrito I've ever had. I don't know if it's because it so unhealthy or what...but damn that's a good burrito. Otherwise the location is kind of unassuming and the service is good enough. read more

I loved this place until we found a rock in my food. When I called to let them know, she didn't seem concern or cared.she brushed it! To me that's not great customer service. Never going there again! I was trying to put the picture up here but it's not letting me. read more

Had the Azteca Plate today, 3 micro sized enchiladas with red sauce. A super small cup of rice and same of beans (not sure why it's called a plate). $9.50 gone in less than 2 minutes. Quality 7/10, Quantity 5/10. read more

Not sure where all the raving google reviews are coming from--I think they're probably paid reviews--in any event pretty lousy and expensive as heck! Portions are super small and food is average at best. The carne asada is two small filets of dry flank steak with no flavor and beans and rice for almost 18 dollars.... read more

Great burritos. They also have al pastor tacos available.

Great food. Your typical Mexican menu with a couple really good choices. Chili relleno... yum! And for that dip for your chips, try their cilantro jalapeño dip. I could bath in that stuff. The staff is always polite and helpful. read more

This was a nice fast food restaurant but not. You order at the front counter and pick up at the counter. You can get it to go or for there. At first I thought it was a little pricey for lunch, my meal was about $11 once I got a pop, but it was a good sized portion. I had the chicken flautas, 4 flautas that came with rice, beans, and lettuce. It was pretty quick service and good. And very filling! They had mostly burritos but some other items too like enchiladas, tacos, and quesadillas. If I lived here, I'd come back. read more

This is probably second to first worst Mexican restaurants in minot. I got tamales and tacos de asada the tamales were so dry I had to drown them in my own homemade salsa verde.. the asada meat was very little to none and also very dry seems like it was yesterdays cooking or when its left out too long. I also got enchiladas for my child and they were hard for her to cut through and eat... dont waste your money honey read more

I'm from San Antonio, Tx so I love Mexican food . And I've moved here a few months ago. one night I was in my pjs and flipping thru restaurants on door dash desperately looking for something good to eat; El Azteca caught my attention. So I quickly jumped from my cozy spot and speed down the road in my car. As soon as I walked in the doors the fresh beautiful smell of Mexican food hit my nose. Talk about the orgasm that I experienced that my husband could never give me!!!!! I order the burrito plate and a birria taco plate. I literally died and went to heaven the second that food hit my mouth!! 10/10 would recommend read more

I try to eat here on a regular basis, it's the best Mexican food in town. We had these folks cater a work lunch, and it was amazing.

Fresh ingredients- very tasty! Service was slow and they ran out of many main ingredients. Will go back since the food was really good- hopefully they can get staffed back up soon. Even people picking up takeout weren't able to get what they ordered- they are busy! read more

The best Mexican food you can find this far north. I live in Arizona and this place easily competes with other authentic Mexican food in my local area. Good price, great food, cold beer. Cleaned my plate so did my relatives. Will be back next time I'm in town and recommend it to my relatives who do live here. read more
