Fantastic, authentic tacos here. My nephew (10) and I had lunch here yesterday and said, "I didn't know steak could taste so good!" I second that. Couldn't finish the quesabirria so had the leftovers today and they tasted even better! The warm chips and fresh salsa are also delicious. If you don't call ahead for carry out expect to wait. Everything is from scratch & definitely well worth it. So glad this business is here. read more

Great food was a hidden gem. Not anymore, the place gets really crowded. They give you a little guacamole with your chips, no extra charge.

Hands down best steak tacos and quesabirria tacos! The server was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. It been a while I had good authentic Mexican food in the area. Please don't ever close :) read more

Best burrito I have had in the Brookfield area. The staff is also very attentive and welcoming.

The best taco's in the area!! I have been here a couple of times since it opened. The chorizo taco was so flavorful and the corn tortillas were perfectly prepared. On my second visit I had the barrio taco. The taco was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! The consume was so good and all the flavors come together for the perfect bite. When you eat in you get yummy fresh prepped chips with a green salsa and some other salsa's. This is the best new place in the area and our new go to for the best taco's!!! read more

When my wife and i came here we were skeptical, just like anyone would be going to a new restaurant and at least for me as a Mexican I'm a bit of a Mexican food snob (hey its my culture food lol). All my concerns left once I had there complementary chips which are homemade, they were not typical chips at all. I was right, there food from there tacos to there Quesabirria tacos, were wow!! The flavor is on point, I grew up in Pilsen and I've been in the suburbs 9 years now. This food gave flashbacks of the food from my old neighborhood and not the way it is now but I got that 20+ years ago old neighborhood flavor. The service was real good for both spanish and English speaking people. This place is a big must!! read more

Always a 5-Star experience here with my usual! So I decided to order the TACOS DINNER--DINNER SPECIAL (3 tacos in which I chose the Lengua or "Beef Tongue" as the meat--for all my friends who dis or say that tongue is gross, or just refuse to try it! Whatever! That's their loss! But it is the tenderest part of the cow!). And it was simply Fangtastic! Just days before Halloween! The Lengua "beef tongue" meat was shredded instead of just cut which made it the BEST beef tongue I have ever had! The refried beans and rice were excellent! I tried their homemade Tamarindo fruit drink (they press the juice from the seed pods of the fruit tree)! It's light, refreshing and reminded me of a non-alcoholic Sangria! Very interesting! And because I ate the meal in the restaurant, I got the homemade tortilla chips and guacamole for FREE! They warned me ahead of time that the green hot sauce was warm to the touch because they had just made a new batch and it that it hadn't even been put in the fridge yet! But it was Fangtastic because it was SUPER FRESH! (I always favor the green hot sauce over the red). So as a connoisseur of fine Mexican dining! I maintain everything that I have stated in my first review of TACO AZTECA 3 months ago! In short that TACO AZTECA IS THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN THE WESTERN SUBURBS!!!!!!!! And just as a matter of comparison! I have tried EVERY Mexican restaurant in the next town over, La Grange and often paid over twice as much! And for what? Better Ambiance? A fancier table? While that may hold some marginal value! I eat for the food first! And it's because of the authenticity and freshness of the food that TACO AZTECA is hands down my personal favorite Mexican Restaurant! Period! read more

Great options and solid Mexican place. The sauce they give you is top notch. Don't be shy try the sopes and gorditas!

The service is great. The tacos are 10/10 and the horchata is perfect. Love going here or ordering in.

Love it, love it and love it some more. Been open for almost 2 years now and the place pumps out amazing food. Everything you would want and some others. Great for take out. They also have a few tables in there as well. Could set up to 6 per area. But again just a few and it can get busy :). Honestly I have had everything. Gorditas are amazing, tacos are great, burritos boom. Look no further call them or stop in! I'll see you there. Simple atmosphere and clean enough to eat, so always a plus! read more

If you don't want to pay the tax on using your debit or credit card I suggest you bring cash. Food is great, love the muendo there and everything they give you for it. Love the new torta meal special they have now and very affordable. Love how they decorate the place although the seating is a little weird. the staff is very friendly. Best Mexican food in the area!! read more

It is best around great food nice people. Love it ! Tacos are delicious and burritos are great and huge

This has to be one of the best taco places I've been to in awhile. The servers tend to you fast and are attentive. I enjoy coming here with my friends, it's a great place to meet up and have dinner with because it not too loud and near my house. read more

Good service. Food was terrible. Worse than Tony's Mexican Grill. Now I guess it's Rickys. Tony's/Rickys lost it and Taco Azteca never had it. Waiting on a Mexican restaurant that will knock these two out. read more

Delicious food! We had menudo, steak tostada and a steak taco. They have menudo, carnitas and barbacoa on the weekends.

My husband and I stopped by for lunch. The service was excellent. The chips and salsa they brought out were delicious. The food was all delicious. I ordered a steak burrito, which was huge and very tasty. I will be going back. read more

We did take outs. First time we ordered steak tacos and chicharron tacos & chips and guacamole. Enjoyed everything. The last time, we ordered their carnitas by the pound. It came with tortillas, limes, onions, cilantro, a red and a green sauce. I ordered beans and rice. Everything was delicious. I know we will be going back to try their other items on menu. read more

"Hidden away but worth the find! The dishes here are a true delight, and the ambiance adds a touch of elegance to the dining experience."

We ordered takeout from Taco Azteca. The food was ready when we arrived. The tacos were great. The steak tacos had great flavor. We will be ordering from them again. read more

Live in the area and just tried this restaurant and OMG! I haven't had a steak torta this good in a longgggg time. Amazing amazing food. Everything is always so flavorful, and for the people saying it's busy like its a negative, YEAH i hope its busy! Means the food's good. Very worth it. Tacos are also amazing. No picture because i always eat it too fast before I remember read more

This place is amazing! I highly recommend this place to anyone that loves authentic Mexican food. Best steak tacos around! We had a lot more than that but overall great quality and good amount of food for the price. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Grew up in Chicago near many good Mexican spots and ever since I moved to riverside this is my go to spot!!! Authentic and always consistent. Everything on the menu is god! read more

Food is good but the last 3 times I've ordered it's never right. They either forget to add something or completely give me something I didn't ask for. I wish they would pay more attention to detail read more

Taco Azteca is our "go to" for quality, well-seasoned Mexican food. They have consistently delivered great meals time and again. The chips are delish. The chicken fajitas provide multiple meals and the torta asada is fantastic. Highly recommend. They also encourage paying in cash if you're able, and just please be aware that if you pay with credit card there is no option to tip. So, still bring some cash. They've earned it! read more

Good tacos!! Just waiting for them to have Gorditas to try! All food is very well served so make sure to have an appetite!

Food was good but was charged for an extra meal and vegetarian burrito didn't have guacamole. I tried calling but gave up (they were busy and I didn't feel like driving back). read more

First time trying this spot out and I'm upset with myself that I didn't buy more tacos. Service on point as well.

this place is bad ! carne asada tastes like old meat , Chile relleno tacos were greasy , asada Torta was greasy they don't know how to handle the griddle they leave too much grease on everything !!! the rice no flavor n was chopped up n beans tasted like they come from a can .... like I know some places use canned beans but at least add a piece of onion or add something to take that canned taste away! And please learn how to make rice or learn not to keep it long were you keep warming it up n it gets chopped up!! hope you improve! read more

The food was so delicious and the staff gave us a great service definitely will be coming back again

Delicious. We loved everything we got from this restaurant and will be visiting again soon.

Best Mexican food in Brookfield! I'd pick this place over zacatacos. The orange salsa is amazing!

When I walked in, there was one customer at a table already eating and four people behind the counter, preparing food, walking back and forth, etc. each one looked at me yet not one of them welcomed me or said hi. Common courtesy and greetings go a long way!!! No menu on a board only on a paper menu that wasn't readily available, so when the young lady finally came over and in the quietest voice asked what I was ordering, I had to ask for a menu and she looked bothered by it. Should've just walked out then. They were out of gorditas and her answer was "just get a torta, they're basically the same thing". Terrible advice. Small portions, overpriced, and extremely slow. read more

This is now the family favorite and we won't go anywhere else. Tacos are the best around. The steak and barbacoa are phenomenal. Never any gristle or hard fat - that always ruins a taco.. The steak for tacos is cut up into these tiny and very tender little morsels. The barbacoa was the best I've ever had. It is a little pricey but willing to pay that extra for quality and not quantity. Chips are truly homemade and not store bought and thrown in a fryer - so hard to find a place that makes homemade chips. Guacamole was fresh. The taco sauces where tasty and the hot had a nice kick. The whole family was so impressed with the food - even my sister who is SUPER picky. read more

Possibly the best tacos I've ever had...Best tortilla chips i've ever had, and the BEST salsas/sauces i've ever had. On top of that...it's cheap as heck!! read more
