Funny thing is that hey even came home with me check pics below . I ordered 6 tacos complete , 3 chicken plain 3 chicken with everything , 1pepsi, 1 jarrito . .

So I called when getting home and asked did you forget my 4 tacos because I paid 14 dollars and got 2 . The lady said no sorry you ,meaning me only ordered 2 tacos and each taco is 4 dollars each 3 dollars for the jarrito and 2 dollars for the Pepsi wow POINT BLANK THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE IT DESERVES ONE NEGATIVE STAR

It was a busy Thursday afternoon visiting an old favorite. We sat at the counter space and…read morepatiently waited for 1 of the women to serve us. It was very busy, but they can keep up well. Very pleasant we ordered from the variety of pre made food and one order from the kitchen only menu. We tried the roasted chicken with rice and red beans, 2 chicken Empanadas, and 1 order of fried pork chops with green plaintain (chuleta frita con tostones). Took about 10 minutes to come out, and it was very fresh and delicious. The chops were well seasoned and crispy. The tostones were freshly made and crispy. I put a ton of their homemade mojito (garlic) sauce all over everything, and my son proceeded to follow me with his meal. Their chicken was roasted perfectly. Moist and tender with flavors. They have a huge rotisserie pit behind the wall and out the way to save space. Genius. The Rice and beans were standard yet authentic. The Empanadas were a little dry, but I had to show my eldest about ketchu-mayo lol iykyk, then he liked it. He's a bit inexperienced in the cuchifrito area and almost got a brand drink. I had to cut him off and direct him to the fountain drinks because ,uh-uh, we drink from the house in a great cuchifrito spot son! I got him the passion fruit, and I got my usual sesame seed. He looked at me crazy y'all lmao I let him try my sesame drink, and he was somewhat impressed with it. But he loved his passion fruit already. The service was attentive, and I honestly don't know how the ladies balance it all. He was pleasantly surprised at the bill $32. 2 full large meals, 2 drinks, 2 Empanadas, and 1 alcapurria because I had to grab one when I saw the cook dump a fresh batch. I went home thinking damn I should have grabbed 3 more. They were loading fresh cuchifritos and I shouldn't have held back. Later always comes and left overs are always welcomed. Overall, we both loved it. Even taught him a few things in there. For the culture and the price point he loved it even more. I know for sure we will be back.

The restaurant is gigantic and there were plenty of waitresses, waiters and servers going around to ensure great service, loved this from the very beginning!! Our waitress was so nice, so friendly and so caring, I think her name she said was Maribel... she made sure to give us an extra excellent service. Food was delicious, they have a HUGE menu, just like the restaurant. We had guacamole as appetizer and chips + salsa from the house. For entree we shared chilaquiles al pastor, beef tostadas and steak quesadillas and everything was so so so delicious and made with love you could taste it!! Music was popping to be honest, they had a pretty nice playlist of Latin music at first... then around 5-6pm a dj started playing music. I will definitely come back and try some drinks, that also looked interesting and very good by the looks on people drinking. Definitely a must try place!!! Looks so different from the outside, definitely a surprise when you come in!!!

Usually when people ask me what my favorite type of food is, I tell them I hate to have favorites…read moreand love variety. Judging purely by where I eat though, it most certainly would lean towards Mexico. This is partly to do with the cuisine's ubiquitousness here in New York, because if Thai food was good in the back of every little Thai grocery (which don't really exist on the East coast in numbers anyways), I am sure I would eat a lot more of it. And so on. When I am in Inwood, 10 times out of 12 I will be headed for the El Dugout Patacon Pisao truck that serves delicious Venezuelan street fare. This time however I was walking down 10th Avenue in Inwood with a semi-empty stomach in search of a new place. El Nuevo Azteca stepped up and filled the void. The tostada ($2.50) was the only food I ordered as I wanted to preserve my stomach for as many stops as possible, but a sign beckoned from the refrigerator case with another offer that was too good to refuse: $1.50 Coronas. This turns out to be the takeout price, as they are $3 on the bill and poured into a styrofoam cup. You can tell a lot from a place's tostada, the beans they use, the quality of queso, the crema. Positive on all accounts here at Azteca, although not mind-blowing. It must be said though, that this is just a nice place to relax, have a very cheap meal, and enjoy yourselves. They have a full Mexican and American breakfast menu, as well as all the normal antojitos any place should have. Full entrees are available as well, and the cute surroundings peak on the wall where the window to the kitchen and the large television showing novelas compete for attention.
