Feedback
El Azteca impresses with its generous portions and flavorful dishes, particularly the chicken options, praised for using real meat rather than lesser-quality substitutes. Diners are treated to cheerful, attentive service, making it an excellent choice for lunch meetings, as meals are delivered quickly. However, some patrons have reported inconsistent experiences, citing rude staff and unfortunate situations like being asked to leave while still dining. Despite mixed reviews on specific menu items like enchiladas and soggy tacos, El Azteca remains a recommended choice for those seeking satisfying Mexican cuisine, with many expressing eagerness to return.
