**Café Azteca: A Mixed Bag of Culinary Delights and Service Struggles** Café Azteca presents a vibrant dining experience with a cozy atmosphere, complemented by a diverse menu featuring standout dishes like chili, burritos, and fresh seafood. While the food generally receives high praise for its flavor and presentation, service inconsistencies and parking challenges have marred some visitors' experiences. Friendly staff and an inclusive environment enhance the charm, though some encounters with order accuracy have left patrons disappointed. Nevertheless, many diners express a willingness to return, eager to savor the delicious offerings again, all while appreciating the unique setting that combines culture and cuisine.
This place was absolutely delicious, our waitress was so sweet and helpful, and it's all located in a little bookstore. I loved how there were a lot of books where the main characters were POC, something I don't really see anywhere. Back to the food! We had tostones, steak and potatoes, and carne a la tampiqueña con shrimp. The steak and potatoes had this sauce that was so creamy and flavorful. The carne a la tampiqueña con shrimp had tender meat and perfectly seasoned with a little kick. And the tostones were fried to perfection! For drinks we had the house and pomegranate margarita, very strong, but still delicious. Overall, we'd definitely come again, for not only the food, but ambiance as well!
We went there yesterday for a late lunch. It was my first time in the new location inside El Taller and we thought it was so cozy and welcoming. Seems like a great gathering place. The food was delicious. We both got mole dishes poblano and tamales. Yum! We will be back
Delicious food, great service. Quaint restaurant with books and culture all around. Love this place!
I hadn't been to Cafe Azteca for a few years and was surprised that they had moved but found that I love the new funky setting. Parking on Essex street is a challenge but easy just around the corner on Common. The service was THE BEST. Fabulous bartender,whose name I didn't catch but wish I did, made us feel so at home. It was great that Mary, one of the owners, also came to sayhi to us. The food was great (I had the yoga bowl with steak, super good) the queso so tasty! Also, the apple dessert wasAMAZING warm, wrapped in phyllo with ice cream on the side. It was a great way to kick off the weekend. I'll be back!
I?ve only been there for breakfast but it?s really tasty, as well as reasonably priced. Lots of interesting coffee options as well. Also, love the chill, relaxed vibe of the place. If I had to add a con it would be that parking can be a challengeduring weekdays.
