" I was lucky enough to get a last-minute reservation here and it was the highlight of my weekend! The margaritas hit the spot, and I loved my meal which had such depth of flavor. I tried some of my friend's dishes too, and I was impressed with the variety of authentic feels in each meal. I will definitely be spreading the word! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Villa Azteca. While the restaurant's atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service left much to be desired. We waited too long to be served. However, the food itself was great! I had the carne asada which was tender and flavorful. Just fix the service issue, and this place would be perfect! " (*Curated Review*)

" An excellent restaurant! I was impressed by how fresh and authentic everything tasted. The fried fish tacos were some of the best I’ve had. Service staff was friendly and highly attentive. I would recommend going early if you're planning to visit on the weekend, as it gets busy fast. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is truly exceptional! I was thrilled by the robust flavors of their shrimp enchiladas, which tasted incredibly fresh. The handmade tortillas were a highlight, too. My partner’s mole sauce was the best we’ve ever had—rich and complex. We were seated quickly and the waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Villa Azteca with friends and we had a blast! By recommendation, we all ordered different plates and ended up sharing. The flan was exceptional, and their tacos were bursting with flavor! I loved the creativity with their dishes; they managed to put a unique spin on traditional favorites. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a great place! I was highly impressed with the quality of ingredients and the part of the meal that stood out most was the ceviche. Amongst many good points, the only concern was how crowded the restaurant got during peak hours, leading to a modest wait for our food. However, the delightful food made it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had an excellent dinner at Villa Azteca! The decor is chic and fun, and it complements the authentic food perfectly. We ordered the shrimp tacos and some pork dishes, all of which were well-seasoned and satisfying. The wait was a bit long, but it was definitely worth it. We will be returning frequently!
