We chose El Azteca based on the very positive Yelp reviews. As you can tell from my Star rating,…read moreour experience did not match those reviews. I We came here on a Sunday for lunch. When we arrived I saw that they were serving a buffet. I asked the person who seated us if we could order off the menu and he said yes. It's possible that our experience was largely due to not choosing the buffet. We were served chips and salsa soon after we were seated and our drink order was delivered quickly. We looked at the menus and waited to place our order. I saw the server take someone's order two booths away and walk past us. Then he served someone at the next booth and was walking past us again. I asked if we could place our order. My wife had the two item special with two chicken burritos. I had the large combination with a chimichanga. Both orders came with rice and beans. The rice and beans were the worst we've ever had. Tasteless. The chicken burritos had shredded chicken without seasoning of any kind. The beef chimichanga was similar. There was some taste because it was deep fried, but the meat itself had no seasoning. We won't be back.

Staff was very friendly and sat our large group quickly. We got the mini tacos with carne asada,…read moreshredded beef taco combos, and the fajitas. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend!

(2) many of the packages I bought came with 1 third of the package with the tortillas in 2 halfs Then I found el comal tortillas I tried them and I liked them I loved them But this is what I don't like I'M GETTING MY FREAKING TORTILLAS IN HALF!!!!! even in three or four pieces Come on, I'm paying full price for the freaking package so in exchange I want to get my tortillas in one piece not in several pieces My location is in san bernardino ca So I hope the company pays attention to this kind of issues so they don't start losing customers If this problem doesn't improve I'll start looking for another brand EH DICHO!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how the cashier managed to serve so many people in line while answering the phone and taking orders to go as well! She was amazing! My brother got tacos that Cabeza , they looked delish!! My hubby got the Birria tacos and he loved them! He's a chef so he's picky, but they were very good! My 94 yr old dad asked for an enchilada combo so we asked if the sauce is very spicy and the cashier suggested she would put the sauce separately in a little container so he could taste it for himself, which I thought was a brilliant idea!. I had the taco and enchilada combo and it was very good. Their rice is very flavorful and their beans are definitely homemade! I'm Hispanic and I totally can tell the difference between canned beans and homemade beans! We will definitely be back next time we're in the area! Unfortunately, we were so hungry that we started eating and I forgot to take pictures! But check out the pictures on their website or the yelp page. Very delicious! And they have free self serve chips and salsa, which are also very good! Highly recommend this place if you're craving great Mexican food at a very reasonable price! The ambience was great only because it was bustling with lots of business!
