This spot was oh-so-lovely! From the very sweet owners to the Adobo tofu taco that had me thinking "how can I make this at home back in Indy?". It had me rethinking all the possibilities of tofu. The juicy chicken taco was equally delicious but the tofu blew my mind. The space is very clean and colorful with vibrant decor and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We also ordered their popular and sinfully delicious Birria taco and consomme along with pinto beans and an order of guacamole and chips. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

AzTec Taqueria - Adobo tofu taco and chicken taco- both were AMAZING!! - Mexican Near Me - Verona, Wisconsin

Casual spot in Verona where you order at the counter and then sit. Seating is a little limited. Food comes out fast and the service is friendly. Parking is plenty outside. I ordered the Elote and 2 tacos (you pay per taco, there are no combos/plates). Elote - comes on the cob. The corn was crunchy, lots of tajin so was extra tangy. Could probably have a bit more cotija cheese or mayo to balance it out. 2 tacos - got the Al pastor and the lengua. Both were a larger size so filled you up and I thought the meat was tender. I enjoyed all the sauces and the red had a smoky kick to it. read more

So good!!! The queso birria was my favorite- along with the rice and beans. All of the salsas were delicious. Next time I am adding a margarita. Yum! read more

I really liked my burrito bowl with Al pastor with all the fixings - the sauces were really yummy. I also got a lengua taco, the meat was so tender and flavorful. The only thing I didn't care for was the super salty chips with our queso and guac. I'd definitely go here over Chipotle or a Qdoba read more

AzTec Taqueria is a small spot in a new development that offers all the classic Mexican dishes from Tacos, burritos, quesadillas and more. On a recent visit to Madison, we were after a chill lunch spot and we found it here! The space isn't big, but it is well laid out and features the order counter, a small bar with 2 seats, drink station, a few indoor tables and a fairly large patio with several tables. Once we ordered we made our way outside as it was a gorgeous day and who doesn't want to eat tacos outside! We started with queso and chips, then rounded it out with a few tacos and a quesadilla. I had the birria quesadilla and while it was a tad greasy, the birria meat was excellent and the cook on the quesadilla was perfect. I also got a grilled chicken taco and honestly, not my favorite. Took one bite and realized it wasn't for me. The chicken was bland and the tortilla was cold. The queso was solid, but the chips were grocery store quality. No knock, but just staying. Only other thing to point out is their salsa levels. They offer mild, medium or hot. Mild is pico, not actual salsa. May want to change that so it's more representative of what you are getting. Service was friendly and helpful, the place was clean and in great condition. Overall, solid spot that we both enjoyed and would go back to for sure! read more

Get the marg. Get the pina colada. The pina colada (not shown here) was almost twice the size of the marg. They don't mess around. Big fan of the drinks! read more

Super fast service, loved the quesabirria tacos. Shopping center is a little sterile but will be back.

First time coming to AzTec Taqueria and truly enjoyed it. The worker that took our order was very nice and welcoming from the start. They had a variety of options including vegan options. The food had tons of flavor though the sauce could use some more spice to it. The establishment was very clean and tidy. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. The food came out very fast as well! If you're looking for a new place to eat 100% recommend checking this one out. read more

Nice little taco joint in an otherwise sterile part of Verona. We had several different tacos and all were enjoyed. Service is fast, polite and helpful. If you're passing by... our at the bourbon bar next door, this is a worthwhile stop. read more

I can't say enough about this restaurant. The staff is not only friendly but they take great care to make sure your food tastes amazing and is correct. The food is authentic and family recipes. I love their pastor and birria. Great place to go with the family, for lunch or out with the girls. read more

Incredible tacos, great service. I highly recommend their chicken tostada- the bread is super fresh and out of this world and they always serve it hot and toasted with cheese. So happy to have this place near me. read more

Pleasantly surprised the moment I cracked open the doors to the roomy airy bright space with cozy clean tables towards the back. Sunlight pours through this whole restaurant it being in a corner lot, and definitely going to be a new go-to! Cashier and server were efficient yet patient, knowledgeable and friendly, 10/10! Cute mural paintings line the middle walls with gorgeous creeping plants lining them-- was such a nice place to be. AC was pretty nice too in the heat. We sat inside but the colorful and new-ish outdoor patio was so inviting, I'm definitely going to have to bring some friends for a chill summer evening dinner out with the pups Food was great! I liked the queso taco the most, it was LOADED and I mean LOADED with mozzy but also toasted to crisp on the extreme edges. Chicken and steak tacos were good but I do prefer more "messy" flavors for my Mexican food, should've ordered some guac to pair with but overall a wonderful hot lunch for a hungry gal. Burrito bowl was fresh and the salad felt gourmet~ this does come with guac and beans, also had the option between Mexican rice or cilantro lime white rice! Heard amazing things about their burritos so will have to try next time! Simple, no frills quick and yummy food in a modern, welcoming and bustling dining space gives this spot a solid 5-star! Will update again as I keep coming but I'm sure it will stay at 5~ read more

AzTec Taqueria - Lunch spread - Mexican Near Me - Verona, Wisconsin

The food was quite bland. The pinto beans and rice and absolutely no flavor. Literally out of a can or were boiled. No seasoning. The meat in the tacos was overcooked. I had hoped for better. There were no knives in the utensil area. The people who work there were very nice. I think that you can find better. Perhaps they are trying to "americanize" the food to cater to the local customers. read more

Delicious! We are from San Antonio and know good Mexican food when we taste it. Ate there almost everyday. Al Pastor tacos were our fav read more

The service was phenomenal, the atmosphere was amazing, and as a picky eater it's hard to find food options for me but not only is the queso taco the best taco I've ever had but it was the absolute BEST food I have ever consumed!!! The food was so fresh, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the shredded beef was so juicy my hands were wet after taking a single bite. read more

I'm not usually one to leave negative reviews, but the service here really left much to be desired. The food was decent, but I've definitely had better tacos elsewhere. Not only did it take over 45 minutes for our food to arrive, but the person who brought it out didn't even acknowledge the long wait. It seems like they prioritize to-go orders, especially since their indoor space is fairly small. Maybe this was just an outlier, but ultimately, I can only rate based on my experience. read more

Best (only?) place to get Birria queso tacos - they are loaded with meat and the consommé is delicious. My husband loves their burrito bowl with Mexican rice. Casual outdoor seating is great for families in the summer. Drinks are also delicious! read more

Love the food. We have eaten in the restaurant several times and it is nice, but most often we order in advance and pick it up. The food is delicious and the flavors are complex and authentic. We love both the green salsa Azteca and the red salsa Roja which has a great smoky deep flavor. read more

Just amazing. Friendly staff, excellent food and great pricing. The quesabirria tacos are so good. Their chips and queso, yum! Don't forget the mango agua! Nice job guys, we will be regulars. read more

Delicious find just outside Madison! Their homemade tortillas are delicious and their tacos hit the spot. We'll be back if we're back in the area. I also appreciate their gluten free labeling on the menu. Their elote was great and traveled well (too often at other restaurants you get soggy corn) along with fresh Spanish rice. We were super happy with our meal. read more

Went here for lunch on a Saturday and were happy to see that they had a steady stream of people coming in and eating. The guy behind the counter who took our order was super friendly and slightly sarcastic, which we loved. He gave some great recommendations for our first time there. We ended up ordering the queso taco, adobo tofu, al pastor, and an adobo pollo burrito. The queso taco was very messy but delicious. The beef had good flavor and there was a great cheese pull, the consommé was great to dip in. This was the standout of the tacos. The next best was the adobo tofu. Good flavor but the tofu could have been slightly crisper. The al pastor was nice and standard. The burrito came with the option of Mexican rice or cilantro lime rice. He suggested the Mexican rice, and I'm happy I went with the suggestion. Super flavorful and a great accompaniment to the adobo chicken which was nice and juicy. Would definitely order a burrito again. All the tacos and burrito come with a choice of salsa. We ended up getting the salsa verde which is supposed to be a medium. We also asked for their hot salsa, which I don't think we ended up getting. The medium was pretty mild, so I'm interested in trying the hot salsa when we try them again. read more

Madison's taco scene is lacking. However, if you drive 10-15mins south, you'll find Aztec Taqueria. Owned and ran by Sal, you'll find probably the best tacos in Dane County. My favorites in order: lengua (tongue), asada, al pastor, chicken. Tortillas are made in house and you can tell the meat quality is top notch. Each bite is flavorful! Try out their Azteca salsa (bright green). Service is quick and professional. Decor and ambiance is colorful and the restaurant is full of plants. read more

From our cashier experience (i think her name was Amber?) to the food and service.... Everything was incredible! Food is always consistently good and the salsas are always very fresh. The margaritas are well made too, my fave is the cucumber margarita! I will return because of the closeness to our house and the nice employees at Aztec! read more

Great food! Damn good Birria quesadilla and el pastor burrito! Staff is welcoming and friendly. Love this place!

This place is amazing! Such a gem. Get the quesotaco birria!!!!! Drink the consume. Homemade tortilla shells!!!!! read more

Waking into AzTec Taqueria makes my mouth water! Every plate of tacos that passes you looks amazing and so fresh! When my order of the borrow queso tacos finally came, it was super hot and fresh. It looked so good that I barely had the patience to wait for a minute to let it cool rather than burning my tongue! Fortunately I had ordered some chips and guac to eat in the meantime which was super tasty. The aesthetic and food options here is ideal for lunch! The entryway is filled with bright green plants, colorful wall art, and friendly staff. Additionally, the food comes out quite fast, making it a good choice for those who are tight on time! My only critique is that the dining area near the back is less stylish than the entryway. There's no plants and very little wall art. Fortunately, the bright floor length window help brighten up the space and make it more enjoyable. I think if I come again in the summer, I'd sit in their patio which would likely change my review to a full 5 stars! read more

Great location in Verona. It's in the same parking lot as Pizza Ranch. Lots of parking. There's a small tequila bar. Order at the counter, and they bring food out to you. We ordered carne asada burritos, tacos al pastor, and chips and guac. Food was flavorful and the green spicy salsa was delicious! The menu noted the burritos come in a "California flour tortilla," it was curious to me since I just moved from California...and have never heard of such a thing...until I saw the tortilla. Yep, that's a Cali style flour tortilla! It's the kind you'd find at a 24hr taco spot like Tacos El Gordo, Robertitos, or any burrito joint that wraps their burritos in yellow paper-IYKYK. That being said, the fresh cilantro, white onions, and salsa with flavor is definitely a hint of home (SoCal) that I haven't found yet in the Madison area! The carne asada flavorful, al pastor was a touch sweet-probably the pineapple they use on el trompo-the rotating spit thing. The taco tortilla was delicious! We plan to go back to try their other meats. The inside is clean, simple, not huge. Service great and friendly! I'm sure the outside patio is nice during the summer! read more

What a gem! Drove out just to go here and it was well worth it! The tortillas the tacos came on were divine! Thick and perfect. I got two shrimp tacos and one chicken and they were so flavorful and delicious. The hubs got a quesadilla and it looked amazing! Topped with cilantro and onions and great salsa. My kiddo got the kids quesadilla meal and loved it! Prices are good, place is cute, staff kind, and food delicious! Also beat horchata I've had in the state so far. read more

We went to AzTec Taqueria for lunch on Black Friday and it was pleasantly quiet. The steak burrito was plentiful and the steak, pork, and chicken tacos were good. Very simple with meat, cilantro, onions, and lime in a soft corn shell with hot sauce. All fresh and delicious. I'd like to try their Fortas and street corn so we'll be back! read more

Came for my first time and had an excellent late lunch. Love their salsa which is filled with cilantro and ordered their queso dip (delicious) with a bowl of excellent chips. Had two steak tacos and one lengua (beef tongue) taco, both simple and perfect and the tongue was very tender. Best Piña Colada I've ever had, very fresh tasting, more of pineapple than the coconut. Also had the Cantarita which was easy to drink and came in a very colorful terra cotta glass. Finished with Churros, less sweet than most and very nice presentation. Very friendly staff and nice decor with a Día de los Muertos theme. Will definitely return! read more

We used AzTec Taqueria to cater a birthday party for around 40 people. The option to have the food delivered and setup by the AzTec staff was incredibly helpful. Delivery was prompt, setup was great and included all necessary serving utensils as well as plates, silverware, and napkins. The food was absolutely delicious and more than enough for the crowd we had, which was fine because that just meant we had leftovers. Many party goers asked where we had food catered from and said it was some of the best they had had. read more

Best restaurant I experienced in Verona. I haven't had much luck on food that I enjoyed here in Madison/Verona but I decided to give one more local restaurant a try before I leave and this place is GREAT! It is not as authentic as I have experienced in the past BUT the quality was pretty up there and the tacos were delicious! Staff were super nice and vibes are super chill. Definitely try this place if you're looking for dinner near by! read more

This place is amaaaazing. No, really. As a vegan household with limited options for restaurants in the area, we are adding this place to our regular rotation. I have tried the tacos and burrito bowl so far and they do not disappoint. The chips and guac are great, too. The tofu is not too spicy, which I often encounter at places like Chipotle and Pancheros. My 2 and 5 year old love the food too. Zero complaints!! Easy online ordering, with clear descriptions of what's included. Generous portions and decent pricing. Very impressed--I want this local business to succeed. We are excited to be regulars now. Go try it if you haven't! Oh and the guac isn't extra!! Thank you, Taqueria! read more

We recently moved back to the area from Austin (and prior to that LA), and we were pretty sure we'd struggle to find good tacos. Luckily we were wrong! This place is great!!!

I don't have any pictures because I'm too excited to eat the food every time I've ordered! The owner Sal is a wonderful person, you can tell he's very passionate about the restaurant and the quality of food he serves to the community. The corn tortillas are handmade and are great. There is seating indoors and outdoors - a seat yourself kinda situation. You order at the counter, and then your food is brought out to you. It's clean, it's bright, and I think the quesadilla is my personal fav - you'll want to take a nap after you eat that one. Although I will say the queso taco is a close second, and the horchata is also fantastic. Overall, the service is excellent, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is great! Placing an order for takeout is very easy as well. read more
