    Chicken tacos so delicious, it  will make all other chicken tacos seem inferior. Crunchy, fresh, and full of flavor.
    Nisha M.

    OUTSTANDING!!! We usually get their enchiladas trio plate but today we felt like trying their tacos and Azteca burrito and it was the best food we've ever had. The meat had such good flavor, the lettuce and tomatoes were crisp and fresh and the salsa bar is always delicious. Equally amazing was how clean the entire place was, one lady was cleaning the windows - they were spotless and the floor was shiny and clean. Even the legs of the tables didn't have dust or a spec of anything in them. It just makes you feel good about eating there. The service is fast, friendly and very welcoming. We highly, highly recommend a visit here, you will not be disappointed with anything you get from the menu!

    I was looking for a quick lunch spot on my way out of the valley to golf in Gold Canyon and saw this place on Yelp with the great reviews. Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

    Order counter, Continual flow of patrons. Even the patio tables were full.

    12/12/25 Parking 2/5 Holy Cow get me a tow truck Becky the lot is always packed! Atmosphere 4/5 Small inside dining area tightly arranged. Nothing fancy but comfortable. It totters between a fast food restaurant and full authentic Mexican food cusine. Service 5/5 Order Counter with table delivery. Susana assisted with our order and was friendly. Food 5/5 The food is the business and their authentic recipes are the real deal. Amazing everything! Far better than any fast food Mexican restaurant and rivals many Mexican big name eateries. Their salsa varieties are nice and I was pleasantly surprised at the fire coming from their Habanero sauce. Great flavor and perfect paring with their Carne Asada. It also works nicely as Habanero shooters . Dare you! We enjoyed a beans and rice dish and their Carne Asada burrito; both great flavor and offered another to go. We also ordered flan to share for dessert. Delicious, rich and perfect texture. Amazing for a quick meal Resturant. From Taco's to sizzling Fajitas Aztecs has it covered authentically! Get your flavor on my Friends-SYOY!

    Carnitas, Shredded Beef and Tinga street tacos
    Tom S.

    Found this place through Yelp at 4.8 stars and it was definitely worth it. Not much ambience, just great food. Well worth the trip and definitely will come back here again. Carnitas were moist, but crispy shredded beef taco was pretty good. They also had chicken Tinga, which is fairly rare and that was also pretty good. The chips were light thin and weren't very great, but when you consider everything else, who cares?

    CHILES RELLENOS, cheese enchilada, double beans and a fried egg
    Amber A.

    If you are in the mood for some good flavor and authentic Mexican...visit Sol Azteca. Food was really good. I got a chili relleno, cheese enchilada, double beans and added a fried egg on top. I also got Christmas sauce (red and green). I got the Lunch special and it around 14 dollars. Service was really good. Only gripe was the beverages machines, all the drinks were watered down and the horchata was thick and super sweet. Had to toss it. Otherwise, food is on point.

    Asada Nachos - delicious!
    Michael V.

    My wife and I came - was on our list of places to try. I'd say "we will be back", but we've already been twice this week! Loves it! Not a huge place - I can see how it can get busy. Order at the counter, and they'll bring out to you. I saw a lot of things I want to try, but started with the nachos, pictured. Also had the asada fajitas the next day. Their meat is near perfect. Nice cuts, tender and not dry at all. Definitely a fan. Enjoyed both the nachos and the fajitas. Good serving sizes. Also, loved the staff! They were super friendly and welcoming. They offered to take my empty plate as I was about to. They also bud farewell to guests as they left. Felt like a really warm family place. Well lit, fun decor, clean. Very enjoyable - will be back!

    Carne asada street tacos.  Salsas were great!
    Alisha O.

    My regular go-to in this area was closed so I found this well-rated spot and despite it being around 2 pm on a weekday it was quite busy. Always a good sign! It's a counter-serve spot but plenty of tables inside and out and a pretty extensive menu. I got tacos and randomly ordered a tamale to go for later to try it. I think they wanted the tamale fresh as they didn't seem to start making it until I was done with my food. I ended up regretting ordering it as I just wanted to be on my way post-tacos but was waiting around for this impulse tamale. I enjoyed the carne asada street tacos for the most part but found the corn tortillas on the thick side. It looked like most people had burritos around so I would try those next. Salsa bar had really good salsas! The tamale was fine but I found the red sauce on it pretty heavy and sweet. Not for me but just a matter of preference. Staff was nice and restaurant seemed very clean.

    Molcajete
    Julian E.

    So, my wife and I were just in the area and were craving tacos. This place is freaking amazing y'all. I got the Molcajete and it was literally the best one I've had. I couldn't believe the price of it for what I got. I'm on a GLP1 shot so I couldn't finish the whole thing but you know my fat a$$ took it home and had it for supper and for fourth meal too. This is a hidden gem. I highly recommend this place.

    Great food! Awesome hardworking staff. Always clean and quick service.

    Fantastic good! Always enjoy eating here. Staff is always kind. Restaurant is always clean as well!

    Crunchy Tacos Plate
    Dawn M.

    My mom and I came here for dinner. Glad we did! I got the crummy taco plate which came with rice and beans. I asked for both chicken and beef tacos. Both were great- seasoned very well and was indeed crispy. We also got the horchata. Delicious-not too sweet just right. Near the end we found bits and pieces of apple and coconut. Yum! Definitely recommend coming here for anything in the menu. My mom got the enchilada and she enjoyed hers as well.

    Nachos
    Michelle G.

    Wow! Hole-in-the-wall yumminess!! The Horchata was the best I've ever had. It was unique with pieces of apple and coconut. Tasted like liquid Cinnabon! For my meal I had the Talapia and shrimp with a creamy/cheesy mushroom sauce. And were those homemade corn tortillas?! Yumm! My husband had the Nachos with steak (I stole a little piece) Soo good! It was busy but we got a seat right away. Would love to come back soon.
