" Finally made my way to this famous restaurant and I was blown away by the friendliness of the staff. They greeted me warmly, and I felt right at home. The butter biscuits were heavenly, and I can see why it's a staple here. I ordered the pork fried rice as my main course, and while it was tasty, I was expecting more from it. Nonetheless, I would likely come back for breakfast just for those biscuits! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Nuevo Café Azteca was quite mixed. The coffee was definitely a highlight; however, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. I ordered a classic Chinese dish, but it lacked the depth of flavor I have had elsewhere. The service was okay, but I felt rushed at times. On the bright side, the quaint environment took me back to my childhood. Overall, I can’t say it's a bad place, just be cautious and perhaps stick to the traditional breakfast options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Nuevo Café Azteca on a weekend morning, and it was bustling with locals. I was drawn by the smell of freshly made biscuits and the allure of their traditional coffee. I ordered the breakfast combo, which comprised eggs, bacon, and beautiful butter biscuits. It was delightful to see such a rich blend of Mexican and Chinese influences in their menu. The atmosphere was cozy yet lively, with families and friends enjoying their meals together. I highly recommend the butter biscuits with coffee; it's a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my favorite places! The biscuits with butter and coffee are legendary. I love coming here to start my day with a cozy breakfast. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it feels like a community hub. Whenever I feel like exploring flavors from my childhood, this is where I come. I usually bring friends to share the experience because it’s one of those spots that everyone should see at least once. Highly recommended for breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was excited to try this well-known café, I left feeling rather unimpressed. I ordered a mixture of their specialties, including a breakfast plate, and I found it to be subpar. I can't deny that the coffee and biscuits were top-notch, but the inclusion of odd sides with my main dish detracted from the overall experience. The compact space made it feel even more chaotic, and I'm not sure if I'd return if it continues on this path. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the finest spots for breakfast! I loved the butter biscuits and coffee served here. The small atmosphere feels quaint. My only suggestion would be to expand since it gets quite packed. The traditional elements definitely stand out, reminding me of family breakfast traditions. I would eagerly recommend this place to people looking to dive into the local culture. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about this place. The breakfast options seem quite basic compared to what I remember. I came specifically for the egg dishes but was disappointed as they were served with an odd side of lettuce. The highlight was the coffee and biscuits, which were as good as always. I think they should focus more on enhancing their meals if they hope to retain their clientele. " (*Curated Review*)
