" If you're looking for solid Mexican food without breaking the bank, this is the place to go. I've been here several times now, and while the food is consistently good, this last visit was a bit off. The bean burrito I ordered felt a little dry compared to before. The staff was still super friendly, and I'll keep coming back because of their friendly vibes and generous portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Azteca is one of the few places where I feel I get my money's worth. The hard shell tacos were crunchy and filled to the brim. Not only is the food excellent, but I appreciate how friendly all the staff are. Just remember to bring cash, as they don't accept cards. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to this taco shop for over a decade. I'm impressed how they have remained consistent over the years. Their breakfast burritos are my absolute favorite; they are large and filled with flavor. My only complaint is the parking situation, which can be tricky at times. " (*Curated Review*)

" The only negative I can mention is the ambiance; it’s quite basic and could use a little sprucing up. But honestly, it doesn’t even matter because the tacos are so good! From carne asada to pollo, everything is packed with taste. My friends rave about their breakfast burritos too. Definitely worth the stop! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just left El Azteca and WOW! I was seriously blown away by the flavors in the tacos. The carne asada was cooked to perfection, and the tortillas were soft and warm—absolutely loved it! I wish I lived closer, as I would frequent this place regularly. Highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates real Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" The California burrito is a must-try! It's massive and filled with so much flavor. The staff is friendly, providing fast service. The only downside is that the dining area can get a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, El Azteca expressed a wonderful taste of home! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon El Azteca on a day I was really craving authentic tacos. They delivered, each bite packed with a world of flavor, and the portions were satisfying. My only complaint would be the need for more seating because it gets cramped at lunch. Highly recommend trying the salsas—they're phenomenal! " (*Curated Review*)
