" My experience here was pretty disappointing. I went in expecting an authentic experience but found my meal to be quite bland. The carne asada tacos left much to be desired, lacking the flavor I was hoping for. The staff was nice enough, but that didn’t make up for the fact that I walked away unsatisfied. I can’t say I’d recommend it based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving a real taste of Mexico without any cute gimmicks, head to El Azteca. The staff is friendly, and they really take the time to make sure you get what you ordered, which I appreciate. Food is authentic with generous portions for the price you pay. You get a bang for your buck here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a longtime customer of El Azteca and have watched it grow over the years. The breakfast burritos are absolutely fantastic—plenty to fill you up! However, I've noticed lately that the quality has been inconsistent, which is why I've rated them a little lower. I still love this place, but I'm hoping they can tighten things up in the kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful find in La Mesa! I recommend the breakfast burrito to start your day right. The portion is very generous, and the flavor is what puts it over the top. Even my picky kids loved it! I would highly recommend El Azteca to anyone looking for great breakfast options. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Azteca Taco Shop might be a simple setup, but the food is anything but basic. My family enjoyed the variety of burritos, and we all left satisfied. The kids loved their quesadillas, and I was impressed by the amount of spice in their salsa. The staff was friendly, and they provided a good experience overall. I’d highly recommend this place for a family outing. " (*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*)
