    Complimentary chips and salsa
    Michelle B.

    St. John's is a small town, so there are limited dining options here. But if you're passing through town or visiting, let me catch you up: This is one of the two best places to eat in town! Tried the stuffed jalepenos and onion rings for appetizers. Both are good, deep fried, and hit the spot if this is what you're into. I suspect that the stuffed jalepenos are probably pre-packaged and aren't made in house. However, they didn't claim to be, and were actually delicious. Good complimentary chips and salsa. Tried out the cheese enchiladas (which come with beans, rice, and sopapilla) and they were quite tasty. On this dish, the red sauce was the go-to choice and it did not disappoint. But let me tell you about the most amazing thing I've eaten in awhile: the chicken stuffed sopapilla with green chile sauce. I cannot tell you how amazing this dish was to me. It hit me right in my "I need good Mexican food" stomach and I was in a food coma for hours to come. Delicious shredded chicken, beans, cheese, oh so good! Their green sauce has a bit of a kick (nothing too powerful) and was yum, yum, yum. Good service. Nice people. One of the two places that I absolutely love when I travel to St. John's. Trust me, you won't be disappointed by El Camino.

    Azteca: Where My Stomach Says 'Me Gusta!'…read more We've been to El Azteca a handful of times now, and it's truly one of our go-to spots for Mexican food. We usually stop by after church, and it never disappoints. Our latest orders were the Carne Asada and the Texano Fajitas--both so flavorful, and the servings are just right. We have to ask to-go boxes after. The ambience is really nice--clean, cozy, and I've always loved their booth seating. The staff is always welcoming and friendly the moment we walk in. And yes, they serve freshly cooked chips right away (always a plus for me!) along with their perfect salsa. My husband and I both love Horchata, and we never skip ordering each of us a big glass of that creamy cinnamon goodness. We've also tried their Camarones a la Crema--shrimp sautéed with mushrooms in a creamy sour cream sauce. Rich, comforting, and perfect with the rice and refried beans on the side. Their fajitas for two with steak come out sizzling, exactly how fajitas should. The flavor is on point, and honestly, it could feed more than just two people. The chorizo and eggs always hit the spot, and the enchilada suiza with egg and green sauce is another favorite. It is simple, comforting, and solid every time. Always a great experience here, and we'll definitely keep coming back.

We tried every restaurant in the area and Azteca is our favorite. Los Corrales is good but inconsistent. El Azteca is always fresh and perfectly cooked. The margaritas are also very good. I order chicken fajitas mostly and the meat is always fresh and very tender. The lunch servings are enormous and much less expensive than others. Miguel, the server, is always busy but takes the time to serve properly.

    We were highly disappointed with our visit to Licano's. As out-of-towners and vegetarians, we were…read morealready trying to carefully navigate the menu, but the experience was made much harder by inattentive service and a lack of menu knowledge from our server. She repeatedly had to go to the back to ask basic questions, and each time she left, she would get sidetracked helping other tables and take a very long time to return. That made the whole ordering process feel drawn out and frustrating. We were told that the green corn tamale, which is apparently usually meat-free, was made with pork lard. She mentioned it was in the green chili, though it sounded like she may have meant the masa itself was made with lard. Either way, it was disappointing and made the menu feel even more limited. What really stood out in a negative way was being told, "Usually when I have vegetarian customers, they just eat a salad." That did not make us feel welcomed at all. It made us feel like an inconvenience instead of paying customers trying to find something suitable to eat. We ended up sharing a quesadilla with a side of whole beans, and my wife ordered the veggie fajitas, which I had not even noticed on the menu since I only saw protein-based fajita options listed. The food was okay, but only because sautéed vegetables are hard to mess up, and that is essentially what my wife received. Overall, it was not a great experience. Going out to eat should not leave you feeling like a burden to the wait staff. I have worked in customer service for over 30 years, and making guests feel welcome is not that difficult. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

    Alright, I was so happy and disappointed with this place all at the same time. The service was…read moregreat, our waitress was attentive and even the lady cleansing the table was extremely nice. I got shredded beef tacos, rice and beans. The food was hot and you can tell was freshly made, which I adore. However, I'm not sure there's any paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper etc. in the kitchen. The food was perfectly cooked, it just lacked flavor. I hate saying that because I enjoyed the experience, but it could be so much better.
