One employee spoke english seeing we don't speak spanish and we had this bomb soup (forget the name but it was composed of pork, a kind of corn topped with lime, raddish and lettuce in a red broth that was medium spice with a side of giant tortilla chips.) Cost was 7 dollars or a small which was the size of the 16oz takeout containers. They were friendly and offered us their seats. This is a great option for the area.

The tacos had absolutely no flavor I ordered 2 different sets & kinds of tacos & both had 0 flavoring.

I payed 50$ for 6 tacos with absolutely no flavor. & my taste buds are very sensitive I do not like a lot of foods but I was so excited to try these. Absolutely regret I may not ever buy birria tacos of any kind from any where I'm sorry I've been tramautized. Neat packaging though so that's why they get one star.

Perfectly crispy carnitas and lean, delicious beef steak. Tacos came with a side of grilled onions, sliced radish and limes. We opted for green and red sauce. Red it hot but flavorful. The wait was reasonable as we could tell the meat was cooked from scratch. OMG those damn tortillas! Take your time, Azteca. Well worth it. Luckily, we live two blocks away because we have got to have those nachos, sopes and burritos! They are there every night from 5pm-1am!!!
