THIS IS THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT in the entire region... hands down, no contest…read more If you know and appreciate authentic Mexican food--true flavor, real technique, and recipes that taste like they came straight from a Mexican kitchen--this is your place. If you prefer the watered-down, copy-paste "Mexican" food from a chain... well, Jose Tequilas is right down the street. Bless your heart. But if you want the real deal, read on: My Must-Try Recommendations: 1. The Frozen Margaritas -- THE BEST. Order the Jumbo Texas Frozen Margarita with salt. Trust me, it's dangerously good. 2. Shrimp Quesadilla -- LEGIT. Packed, flavorful, perfectly grilled. No one else comes close. 3. Chips & Salsa + the White Sauce + Queso This trio alone could be a standalone reason to come back. The white sauce? Magical. 4. Enchiladas Yolandas Soft, flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. 5. Tacos de Pescados (soft corn tortillas) Add lettuce and crema... thank me later. Absolutely amazing. And this is just a glimpse of what I order on repeat. I LOVE this place. It's family-owned, the staff has been there for years, and the consistency is unmatched. You can taste the pride and care in every dish. Do I have wishes? Sure--I'd love to see a Mariachi band occasionally and maybe some branded hoodies (yes, I would absolutely buy one). Other than that... **I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING. ** Try it for yourself, support an authentic local gem, and let the amateurs head down the street to the chain restaurant. El Azteca is the real one.

I live about 30+ mins away but I remember the food being very good last time, so I didn't mind the drive at all. We were greeted by the host as soon as we walked in and were seated right away. Our server was wonderful. She was very pleasant and helped us with some of the questions we had regarding the menu items. We started with the Fresh Tableside Guacamole and it tasted great! We did order it with a "medium" spice level and it wasn't spicy at all but other than that, it was very good. Since the Street Tacos caught our eye, we both decided on those. We ordered the Al Pastor, Barbacoa, Carnitas, Chorizo, Camarón, Nopales and Lengua. The tacos were served with a variety of different sauces, ranging from sweet and mild to very spicy. Most of the tacos were delicious, our favorite was the Al Pastor, Barbacoa, and Camarón. We weren't a fan of the Lengua, it was very dry, chewy and unflavored. Overall, we had a great experience. Our margaritas were amazing as well! I love the vibe of this restaurant and the food and service is always wonderful.

No one was at the front when we came in, so after waiting for a short time we just sat down in a near by booth. We later saw a sign that said to wait to be seated, but I guess it was ok this time. We started off with the guacamole. I havent eaten a ton of guacamole, but this was honestly the best I've had. Loved it! A+ all day! I ordered the Mango habanero We ordered the Mango Habanero wings and they were delicious! My husband ordered the Birria Taco and he said they weren't his favorite. My son that Birria burrito and that thing was huge! He really liked it. Very nice decor and great service, and I love the hall of lights going to the restooms! We plan to return.

The house salsa had a slight kick as well as the queso, which is great for someone like me who loves spicy!! I got 2 steak tacos and 1 carnitas. The meat was seasoned well and I loved the spicy salsa they had. Definitely will come back for my taco fix!!

The location is in a small strip (which seems odd from the outside), but the interior is gorgeously decorated! Tried the raspberry and guava margaritas, which had a good amount of tequila. The pineapple specialty margarita looked amazing and I will be back to try that one! Chips were freshly made and the salsa had a small kick to it. Tried the Fiesta burrito and was not disappointed! The habanero sauce is VERY spicy which I appreciated. Lastly, the churros were amazing. I am not a huge fan of that dessert but these were delicious for the price and quantity. Paired really well with the raspberry sauce they gave us! Really authentic Mexican food and they seem to have a DJ on Saturdays. Veni durante la Happy Hour (de 4 a 6 p. m.) el viernes y rápidamente me senté en una mesa. La ubicación está en una pequeño shopping (lo que parece extraño desde el exterior), ¡pero el interior está magníficamente decorado! El servicio era rápido y amable. Probé las margaritas de frambuesa y guayaba, que tenían una buena cantidad de tequila. ¡La margarita especial de piña se veía increíble y volveré para probarla! Las chips estaban recién hechas y la salsa tenía un pequeño kick de picante. ¡Probé el burrito Fiesta y no me decepcionó! La salsa de habanero es MUY picante pero delicioso. Por último, los churros estaban increíbles. No soy un gran admiradora de ese postre, pero estaban deliciosos por el precio y cantidad!

We came here to celebrate a birthday, and it ended up being one of those meals where everything just hit. First off, those margaritas are no joke. Massive, flavorful, and strong in the best way. Bonus: they do $2 off specialty margs on Mondays, which is dangerous knowledge now that I have it. I went with the Coco Loco Margarita (1800 coconut tequila, coconut milk, triple sec, and sweetened flaked coconut), and WOW. It was creamy, refreshing, and honestly tasted like a tropical vacation. My friends ordered the House Marg, Peach Sangria Marg and the Spicy Pineapple & Cilantro Marg, all were just as impressive. The spicy one had a great kick without being overwhelming, and the peach option was super smooth and fruity. Before we even ordered, the complimentary chips, salsa, and that famous white sauce came out ... and let me tell you, that white sauce is to die for. I could've eaten that all night. For my dinner, I had the asada enchiladas, and I'm still thinking about them. Perfectly cooked grilled steak laid over cheesy enchiladas with verde sauce, plus rice and black beans. I loved that the steak was on top because once I got full, I could still pick at the protein (elite move). My friends got arroz con pollo, carne asada tacos, and the wildest dish on the table ... the El Molcajete. It came out sizzling in a stone bowl loaded with shrimp, beef, chicken, chorizo, cactus, and all the fixings. We all shared bites and it was unreal. We ended the night with the staff singing happy birthday and completely embarrassing my friend with a sombrero and a candle in his shot. Incredible. Definitely will be coming back, especially for that margarita deal and birthdays!

My 3rd visit was for a late lunch with a coworker. We were promptly seated at a table for 4 even though it was the two of us which was appreciated since the 2 tops are a little small. We again enjoyed our tacos and guac. I had cauliflower rice as a side. All the tacos were full of yummy goodness. They also had a taco Tuesday special available. I made sure to drop my business card in the fishbowl. I noticed they had a place you could drop off letters to Santa outside which was nice for the holidays. There is little street parking available outside the restaurant so it's best to park in the free parking garage not far away.
