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.

El Azteca has always been my favorite Mexican place in town. They have 2 locations and both are amazing!! We got 2 lunch specials and drinks and our bill was $22. For a town the size of Ames, we are lucky to have many wonderful Mexican restaurants.El Azteca just happens to be my fave. Their salsa is fantastic!!
