The salsas are perfection, and the guacamole for two is a generous part. The fried beans are very authentic. The best margaritas, after so many disappointing elsewhere, and two for a week during lunch. Will definitely be back.

I think El Padregal Azteca has the best Fajitas in Cuenca. The tortillas are made fresh daily. Excellent taste. read more I think El Padregal Azteca has the best Fajitas in Cuenca. The tortillas are made fresh daily. Excellent taste.

The ambience, setting, coating, but above all and obviously) the ingredients, recipes and flavors are very high quality. The Yucatán pork was juicy and tasteful. The pickled Jalapeño appetizer was the perfect level of spices and went great with the rest of my meal. I'm a budget traveler, but my friend and I wanted to treat ourselves to a good meal after a long trip, and that was the perfect place. It is definitely one of the most beautiful meals $28, appetizer, 2 mains, 2 cocktails) that we have paid, but we absolutely love Mexican cuisine and found the price to be worth it. This is better than any Mexican food I had grown up in California for 30 years, not that Cali is Mexico, but it is almost half Mexican, like my stepfather and my ex-wife). If you do not appreciate fantasies meals or do not think that Mexican cuisine can be increased via Tacos / Burritos, then go somewhere else for a cheaper meal. If you want to treat your SO to a nice meal, go here.
