The Elvis ambience has diminished quite a bit since it's heyday 10 years ago, but the food is still exceptional, the drinks are not wanting for alcohol that's for sure! Enjoyed a nice Friday evening there prior to the car show out on Main Street, and enjoyed The enchiladas and chips the tacos and the Carnitas plate. The tamales were to die for! For you seniors out there, the food is not overly spiced and reasonably priced! HIGHLY recommend to All! To quote the governorator: I'll be baaack!! Many thanks to Alfonso for the super fast service and friendly attitude! read more

The food is above average and my wife really lives it's refried beans. This seems to be a place for the locals as we saw family gatherings as well. . The ambience reminds one of Hussong 's Cantina in Ensenada. The service is competent and the price very reasonable. The back entry from the parking lot looks abandoned since the front entry is at Main Street . But unless you need exercise you should enter via there. read more

First time here in some years, but it has certainly stood the test of time. Food is exactly as I remember. If you're a fan of a good sit down style of Mexican (ala DJ's) then you will not be let down. The food is proper, the service is on point, and it's a fun Elvis themed atmosphere; what more are you looking for? :) read more

Worse "Mexican" food I've ever had and I'm old and well traveled. Party of four, we got different types of burritos and carnitas. There is literally no spice in any of the food. It's just terrible food. The margaritas taste like they're made with Crystal Light. Then the DJ came on at 9 PM and started screaming, thinking he could sing at a volume that was crushing. We ran out. They don't have to change anything because the place is packed but if you like Mexican food, do not eat here read more

So my Mom has been begging me to take her to Azteca for a few months now after seeing the add pop up on her social media. Fast forward to today, we finally went, and OMG, if you are a lover of Mexican food and Elvis, run to Azteca. When you first enter the restaurant, you are greeted with a giant Elvis statue, and more Elvis memorabilia that one could ever imagine. It was so cool to see so much stuff of the King. The amount of memorabilia is amazing. As for the food...DELISH! I had green chili chicken enchiladas (pictured), my Mom, and husband had fajitas, and my Dad had an enchilada tamale combination plate. Everything was so tasty. Our late lunch/ early dinner came out hot, and was made with the freshest ingredients. Ooooh...the chips and salsa are yummy too! We had so much fun at Azteca, and already looking forward to our next visit. read more

I decided to give this place a try. It's not "authentic" Mexican Food but it's ok. I had the garlic tacos and the garlic is very overpowering. Definitely a place to visit for Elvis Presley fanatics and they have a lot of cool posters all around the establishment. The staff were all kind and welcoming. The food is made to order and very hot when it comes out. Definitely a cool place to check out. read more

Absolutely a hidden gem! When bar hopping on Main street, I'd never expect to end up here. However, because the other bars were jammed packed my friends and I wandered here and it has been our go-to all the time now! They have delicious food and cheap drinks at the bar. Cute little old-town feel to it read more

I have never once ever given a 5 star to any business, restaurant or establishment without actually patronizing the business in person! Let me explain, I didn't actually come here to eat. I had a get together with a few people and someone decided to get us all Mexican food. This person ordered us food, didn't ask what we wanted to eat, the ball was in their court. This friend of ours offered us lunch, would not accept money from me or anyone else in my group. But, this person ordered for us. When the food arrived, he simply gave me my box of take out food. Being the polite person I am, I thanked him and opened the box. It was what I thought were beans and rice with a quesadilla. What it actually was was Chile Colorado with a flour tortilla on top. Presentation was great and quite honestly, I have only had Chile Colorado once in my entire life. As soon as I dug in, I couldn't believe how delicious the food was! The rice was perfect and had that nice texture I really like. The beans were made just perfect, authentic and made just right. Just thinking about it makes me hungry again. When he told me the name of the place and that I being an Elvis person would be impressed if I went in person. So here I am looking up Azteca up on Yelp. I imagine dining here is such an amazing experience, it's a place I marked as another to do list. I plan on coming soon, I love my Mexican food but an Elvis themed one is even better. Your food was amazing and I look forward to having it once again but this time inside the restaurant. Thank you for making my day! read more

Hard shell garlic chicken taco is so good. Been coming there for years and always such a friendly and helpful service. Ask for extra garlic sauce. read more

We were on the hunt for an old school Mexican restaurant and what a pleasant surprise when I found, a Elvis themed Mexican restaurant just a few minutes from our hotel. The pictures on Yelp were helpful but they truly do not capture how much Elvis there is at Azteca. Love the old town area Azteca is located in. It's a perfect fit for this place. The Elvis décor is literally "to the windows to the wall" (and up the ceiling). Azteca is toeing the line of chaos but to me, just stops short and keeps things manageable. After I placed my order I took my time to walk around the restaurant and through the bar. I'm confident even a few laps around the place, I wouldn't have seen all of the Elvis memorabilia. Food: good! Plenty of stand options to satisfy anyone's need for Mexican food. The 1 item tried that was quite unique was the beef taco with garlic. Never heard of such a thing so I went for it. If you love garlic, this might be for you. I did like it because it was different but I'm not sure I'd order it again. Overall, I definitely would return. Friendly service with a unique vibe. read more

Great restaurant with fast and friendly service and a fantastic ambiance!! Absolutely love the Elvis theme and can't wait to get back.

A family friend recommended this place to us so we decided to try it. The restaurant was really nice and clean. It had so many Elvis decorations and posters. They had the posters all over the walls and even on the ceiling. I kind of liked the Elvis theme. As for food, we got free tortilla chips with salsa, as all Mexican places do. The chips were good but the salsa was not as fresh as other places. It kind of tasted like it was store bought. I got the steak fajitas. They gave me 2 big flour tortillas, lots of steak with veggies, refried beans, and Mexican rice. It was $19.95 and it was definitely worth the price. I thought it was delicious! The steak was so savory and juicy. The veggies paired really well with everything and I liked how everything didn't make me too full. Loved it! The service was great! The waiters were nice and the food came out really fast. I recommend the place if you're in the area. It's delicious! If you're not as hungry, don't get the tacos because they have a lot of filling inside. This is a really good place and the ratings should be higher!! read more

Not sure what I was expecting when I entered this place, but it wasn't this! From the outside this place looks what you would think a Mexican place should look like. An adobe motif with an old So Cal feel. But the moment you walk in you are greeted by... A bandito? Some Mexican character? I don't know... Maybe an anthropomorphic chili ( Jose jalapeno on a stick)?. No you are greeted by a life size statue of Elvis! And that's just the start, the whole restaurant is covered wall to ceiling with Elvis posters and memorabilia, except for one corner that seems to be dedicated to Dean Martin. So...odd. but fun. The food was good, very Mexican style Mexican food ( I prefer American style Mexican food, but that's just me.) The staff was very nice and accommodating, ( although they did make a mistake with one order, they fixed it, but it took a while. ) My biggest beef was with the restroom. The men's room is right off the main dining room and the door was never closed so as you walk by to the ladies room you see right into the men's. And the urinals are those waterless kind. Which never work right always smell of disinfectant and in this case drained really show so there were always orange pills at the bottom of the basin. The sink area was a mess with an overflowing trash can, and the floor was all wet. But other than that my wife and her friend enjoyed the food, and the price was reasonable but for me, next time, I'll go somewhere else. read more

Cool spot to hang after a show at the Garden Amphitheater, which is just a short walk away. The drinks were good, and the service was friendly. Definitely a great place to chill for a bit after catching a concert. Would recommend! read more

I used to go here regularly six or so years ago. The karaoke crowd was fun and the KJ was enthusiastic. The food was okay too. NOW it's a different experience. Went there on a Saturday night for karaoke. I ordered tacos with refried rice and beans. The food was tasteless. Taco Bell would have been better. It used to be crowded in the past. NOW there were a few people, regulars who knew each other. They weren't friendly to non-regulars. I tried to ask the KJ a question and he just acted like he was in automatic mode. Like the walking dead. I sang two songs and left. It was like singing at a morgue. There are much better Mexican restaurants and better karaoke environments where people are lively and inviting. read more

First time here, my sister is a big Elvis fan. She was excited to see all the Elvis memorabilia. I highly recommend the Chile verde plate, albondigas, and the Cadillac Margarita. We had no idea the car show was there on Main. Really great experience read more

We go here several times a year cause my parents love it and we are close. Great atmosphere. Good food. Today was my parent's wedding anniversary of 44 years, and Ruben our waiter picked up the check for us to surprise us, which was incredibly nice. And this random couple bought the 3 of us slices of this really yummy cake to celebrate their anniversary. Was a very nice anniversary for them. They surely feel the love. Thank you Ruben! You rock! read more

If you live Elvis like I do, it is awesome. I mean Elvis everywhere! The food was great.b

My husband & I discovered this place when we were here for a concert that was happening at the local outdoor theater. The albondigas soup made us come back on multiple occasions. So, let me start by praising their soup, then I will get to the 'ugliness' of my review. The broth is excellent, the veggies are cut to bite sized pieces, and the meatballs are great! Our last visits order included this soups plus two ala Carter orders with our soups being the star of our meal. When done, I and my husband had left of 4 meatballs, collectively, in our bowls. This next event blew my mind as far as it would go, when our waiter, after clearing our bowls on to the pass bar, removed the meatballs and put them into a container, placed a lid on it, and put those, passed over meatballs, into the fridge, apparently for another, unsuspecting soup eater! I wish I hadn't seen this, but glad I did! read more

Place is horrible Authentic Mexican? What a joke Could be so much better. Great location Could me so so much better read more

Food is horrible Burrito sucks Doesn't not include rice Doesn't not include beans Nothing inside except meat. They gave me the thinnest tortilla. Lalo also wanted to charge me $2 extra for salsa. I asked him and told him that you shii look old tell customer that it doesn't include rice and beans, and he rudely responded "you should read the menu" stupido . I will not recommend this to a friend. Poor service and food is horrible read more

Food was all premade, pretty much inedible. Chicken looked like it came out of a can, was cold inside the taco. Rice was room temperature and I was not comfortable eating it, bacteria and all. Pretty sure the beans came out of a can, but they were hot and tasty so the only thing I ate. The ambiance is kitschy, tacky for some but I liked it. It reminded me of old Vegas. Wine was good. read more

I've eaten here a few times and I've found the food to be okay. I had a chicken taco that tased okay, it just wasn't great. The cheese enchilada that I ordered was just okay too. The cheese enchilada didn't make me think this is great as I've had a few times at other restaurants. You will find lots of Elvis photos on the wall. The wait staff is friendly and helpful. Overall I will eat here again because I go to the car show on Friday nights and there isn't a lot of restaurants on the street. read more

First time here last night with some friends. I liked how everything was Elvis that's was cool. But we sit down for chips and salsa which were good but I got a basic bean and cheese burrito wet and there was barley any cheese inside. It's like I was eating a bean burrito and the beans didn't really have flavor. I was disappointed. But not only that it was beyond hot in there to where we were all sweating. I was so uncomfortable I couldn't even enjoy myself. I don't know if I'd go back based on how uncomfortable I was. We never go out and I couldn't enjoy it cause I has sweat dripping down. It felt like the air wasn't even on and the front doors were open so that didn't help at all. Service our waiter only checked on us a few times. I get it it was busy but I would have liked water. By the time he came around I didn't even want anything and we just left. read more

Great place for Mexican food. Waiters are fabulous & the decor is 100% Elvis. Cadillac margaritas are the best in town,

Stopped by this place on our way back from the strawberry festival. We were hungry and Mexican is always a good choice. The food was decent and the drinks seemed water down to me. I was disappointed by the salsa. It was very bland. We asked to see if they had any different sauce or something spicier but was told that was the only salsa they had. read more

Calling all garlic lovers - This place is very unsuspecting from the outside, but we always come back here for the GARLIC TACOS! Tacos are piled high with fillings, and their garlic sauce takes anything you order to the next level. Service is always great, food always comes out quickly. Their collection of Elvis memorabilia is a nice touch too. read more

This is a local legend in historical Garden Grove on Main Street. Well I do not understand the attraction of Elvis nor the garlic salad dressing. There is a semblance of family here.
