" My kids have become fans of Taco Tuesdays at Taqueria Azteca. The tacos are a hit, especially the chicken and beef options. It’s a fun, casual spot that feels authentic, like something straight out of Mexico. The staff is always patient with my kids while they try to decide what to order. I appreciate that they have a variety of aguas frescas, which are fresh and refreshing. However, I've noticed that the wait time on busy days can be longer than expected, and they sometimes run out of certain items. But overall, a great family outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ever since I found Taqueria Azteca, it has quickly become my go-to spot for tacos! The street corn and tacos de carnitas are my favorites. I always feel like I'm getting a great deal when I eat here, especially on their special days. The service is friendly, and even though it's a small place, it somehow manages to have a welcoming charm. I'd love to see them expand their menu, but for now, I'm a happy, repeat customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Azteca is a mixed bag. The flavor of the food is fantastic, and they have so many choices. However, I noticed that on my last visit, the tacos were smaller than before. I still appreciated the quality of the ingredients, but I wanted a bit more for the price. The service was friendly, though they seemed rushed. The atmosphere was casual, which I liked. Overall, I would return, but I'm hoping they can keep the portion sizes consistent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Taqueria Azteca for lunch, and I have mixed feelings. The pricing is unbeatable, especially on taco Tuesdays, but the waiting time was longer than expected during lunch hour. When my tacos arrived, they were decent in flavor but not as fresh as I hoped. The portion was fair for the price. I appreciate the authenticity and the casual vibe of the place. I might come back, but not on a busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my gosh! Taqueria Azteca has some of the best tacos I've ever had. Each taco is bursting with flavor and made right when you order them. The portion sizes are incredible compared to other places I've been to. The only complaint I have is that they are cash only, which isn’t convenient for many. However, once you taste the food, you won’t mind the inconvenience. I’ll definitely be coming back to stock up on their spicy salsa too! " (*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*)
