" Wow, I was genuinely impressed with Taqueria Azteca! I was greeted warmly by the staff, who were eager to help with any questions. I tried their fish tacos and was blown away. It’s hard to find good fish tacos around here, but theirs had just the right texture and flavor. However, while the ambience was nice, it can feel congested during busy periods. It's worth the visit if you're craving something authentic and fulfilling! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Taqueria Azteca several times, and I've had a good experience most of the time. The tacos are well-seasoned and come in decent portions. I love the relaxed vibe and how the staff treats you like regulars. However, they do often run low on certain types of tacos during peak hours, which can be frustrating. But honestly, once you take a bite, any wait becomes worthwhile! Just remember to bring cash. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, so I was really excited to go to Taqueria Azteca after hearing so much about it. The vibe inside is cute and casual, and the food looked amazing when it arrived. I tried the birria tacos, which were decent, but unfortunately, they didn't blow my mind. For the price, I expected something more magical. The staff was welcoming and checked on us multiple times, but I left feeling kind of let down. Maybe it was just my choice of taco. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Taqueria Azteca for the first time recently. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the friendly servers added to the experience. I tried the al pastor tacos, which were very flavorful, but the portion was much smaller than what I expected. It was nice to see the place bustling with people. I did notice that the cleanliness was not top-notch, but it was not enough to deter me from enjoying my meal. All in all, I'll be back, but I hope for improved portion sizes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Taqueria Azteca was quite mixed. The flavor of the tacos I tried was spot-on, and I could tell they were made with fresh ingredients, which is always a plus. However, the size of the portions left me wanting more, especially given how delicious they were! The dining area was bustling, and the noise level made it hard to have a good conversation with my friends. On the service front, while the cashier was friendly, the wait to receive our food felt excessively long. It seems like they need a better system for busy days. I might consider returning but will likely get takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ha! Where do I even start? I went to Taqueria Azteca with high hopes after hearing raving reviews, but it was a letdown. The carne asada tacos tasted like they were from yesterday--dry and bland. My friends had better luck with their choices, but my meal felt like a missed opportunity. The portion was tiny for the price, which made me feel cheated, especially since I had seen so many other reviews praising them for fair pricing. The service was friendly, but I had to wait a little while to get someone to take my order. It could be that I just caught them on an off day, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at Taqueria Azteca last night, and it was a lovely experience! We had the chance to enjoy several different tacos, each more delicious than the last. The ambiance is inviting, making it a perfect little spot to share a meal. The staff was amazing, treating us like VIPs and ensuring all our needs were met. Everything from the portion sizes to the flavors were on point. I can't recommend this place highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)
