" I finally made it to El Azteca after hearing so many raving reviews from friends and family. The overall experience did not disappoint. The staff were extremely welcoming! I ordered the enchiladas and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size and flavor. My husband enjoyed the fajitas, which were sizzling and aromatic. If you're in Ashland and craving Mexican food, this is definitely the place to check out! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience at El Azteca was mostly pleasant. The staff greeted us warmly and seating was quick. However, while the food was decent, I felt the flavors were not as strong as I'd hoped for in traditional Mexican dishes. The fajitas were good and the presentation was nice, but I couldn't help but feel that a little more seasoning would enhance the meals greatly. Overall, it was a good meal but not outstanding. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with high expectations, and El Azteca did not disappoint! The tacos are undoubtedly one of the best I've tasted. You can really savor the authenticity in their dishes. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave me personalized recommendations, which was greatly appreciated. The restaurant itself has a charming ambiance that's very welcoming, and the prices are fair for the quality you receive. Planning to bring more friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having eaten at many Mexican restaurants across the country, I can confidently say that El Azteca delivers an exceptional dining experience. The decor alone transports you straight to a coastal town in Mexico. The tacos I had were freshly made and packed with flavor. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you receive. My family enjoyed their meals, and we appreciate how attentive the waitstaff was. This is not just a place to eat; it feels like a celebration of Mexican culture. I will definitely keep returning whenever I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Azteca has a fantastic menu that caters to a wide range of tastes. My favorite has to be the shrimp tacos; they are always prepared perfectly! I love how the restaurant captures an authentic Mexican vibe not just in food, but in decor and service as well. It’s the ideal spot for any meal of the day. I’ll be returning frequently!

" I’ve been to El Azteca several times now, and while I enjoy the food, I think there’s room for improvement. The last time I visited, I ordered the carne asada tacos. They were decent but could have used a bit more seasoning. The service was friendly, but it took a little longer than expected to receive our meal. On a plus note, the environment is always vibrant and welcoming. Overall, it's a solid choice for Mexican food, but sometimes it misses the mark. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing good things, I finally tried El Azteca, and I was quite impressed. I ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were flavorful with generous portions of shrimp and fresh vegetables. The service was prompt and friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable. The only downside was that the ambiance felt a bit noisy due to the lunch crowd, but that's a small price to pay for great food. I'll definitely keep this restaurant in mind for future dining.
