" The experience at El Azteca Taqueria was mixed for me. The food was flavorful and genuine, especially the carne asada, but the service was slow. We waited a long time for our drinks and even longer for our food. The place has potential with its authentic offerings and casual environment, but they really need to streamline the service process. Restaurants like these deserve to be thriving; they just need to address the inconsistencies in their service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from El Azteca Taqueria and I must say, I was quite impressed! I ordered the burrito and can confidently say it was one of the best I've had! Everything tasted fresh and the service was prompt, which is often rare in busy places. Since they make their tortillas in-house, you can actually taste the difference. I highly recommend El Azteca if you want authentic and delicious Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Azteca is a nice establishment with a diverse menu. I ordered the tortilla soup and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It had a rich flavor, perfect consistency, and was topped with plenty of fresh ingredients. However, I do believe the food could have used a bit more spice to it. The restaurant has a bustling atmosphere, and while the service was generally quick, I did experience a small delay. Overall, I’d say it’s worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to El Azteca for their fresh ingredients and authentic flavors! The tacos dorados are my favorite and they never disappoint. I can't stress how much the homemade tortillas elevate the food experience here. My only complaint would be that the service can sometimes be a bit slow, especially during peak hours. Regardless, the food is worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Azteca has been my go-to spot for authentic Mexican cuisine! I recently visited again and had their burrito—so hearty and flavorful, it exceeded my expectations. I appreciate how they emphasize traditional dishes with an authentic touch. Although the service might vary, the food consistently impresses. A must-try for anyone who loves Mexican food!

" I can't say enough great things about El Azteca! The carne asada fries are a must-try! They were wonderfully prepared and gave me a true taste of Mexican flavors. The staff was friendly, and although the wait time was on the longer side, I didn't mind because of how amazing the food was. This place assures me that I can trust the authenticity of their cuisine, and I’ll certainly be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to El Azteca, and I was blown away by how authentic the flavors were! I tried their menudo, and it stood out as one of the best I've had outside of Mexico. It was rich, hearty, and came with beautifully homemade corn tortillas that elevated the dish. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting to savor true Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
