Another great lunch for a reasonable price up in St Helena. Went wine tasting at our usual spots in nearby Rutherford and Azteca never fails us when we are hungry and want something quick and budget friendly. My al pastor super burrito was tasty and as filling as usual. My wife ordered 3 tacos (lengua, chicken and beef cheek) and they were all tender and flavorful. We also ordered their creamy guacamole and a couple of pieces of chicharone, which was very crispy and authentic. Definitely give it a try if in the area! read more

Hands down the Best tacos in town. I enjoy them on the outside patio with an ice cold modelo. The staff always have smiles on their faces and make me feel welcome. If visiting St Helena I recommend stopping in for a bite. read more

Solid 4.5 stars as the other nearby taqueria became to popular and "sold out" to social media hounds charging $20 for a burrito. These guys kept it real, providing a product the locals flock to. Outdoor dining area right outside the market seem to be a nice place to chill and enjoy the eats. read more

My favorite spot we tried tacos at, we stopped in late lunch for two tacos and a tamale. Service was quick and easy and they have a small outside patio with some umbrellas to be in the shade. We tried both a chicken and pork taco - both were fantastic. They had a ton of onion and cilantro and some side lime as well, and they give out extra side salsa which were perfect. Honestly the amount of meat they put in one taco is enough to be full. The tamale was not my favorite but solid 4/5. read more

To set the scene this was peak Minecraft server hours, around 5pm but gian says we should go to Azteca's and who am I to turn Azteca's down, so i drove the 40 mins to the spot and waited. Gian and Cody arrive a little later than me because of some roadworks, but the chowdown commenced. After we were done Cody wanted to go for walk and help our digestion, so we did, and promptly got lost-ish for about an hour and a bit. We get out of there just in time for the 9:30 anchient city raid, where I got zilch. read more

Azteca Market - Torta Cubana De Milanesa - Grocery Near Me - St. Helena, California

3.5 STARS Always a good sign when you see native speakers rolling in deep and you get awkward stares. Azteca Market seems like THE place locals go to when they want legit taqueria fare specifically menudo and offal filled tacos. Their St. Helena location opened over 20 years ago and their Napa location followed a decade later. This is the only location with seating (outdoors only). Part market and part taqueria, there's three lines: meat counter (chicharrón by the lb!), taqueria, and market. After ordering at the meat counter or taqueria, you need to go to the market line to pay. You're then given a number and your number will be called outside at the pick-up window. M E N U Typical taqueria staples: Street tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, tortas, etc. They give you one container of your choice of salsa (pico, roja, verde, avocado, or habanero) and charge 50 cents for additional salsa. Protein: Pollo, asada, lengua, cabeza, buche, carnitas, pastor, and suadero. Menudo available on weekends but they consistently sell out within one hour of opening (by 10 am). Sucks they don't make a larger order ahead of time. Cc's accepted. F O O D * Chips ($3.29) Housemade chips, thick and hearty but hard on the teeth. * Guacamole ($5.25) Rich and creamy with a nice bright tang. Heavy on the onion and tomato filler. * Tacos ($3.75 each): https://tinyurl.com/y2fu8tst Tacos are served on a warmed, double corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, and lime (requested salsa on the side). - Lengua: Beef Tongue x2: Small, tender beefy bits. - Cabeza: Beef Head x2: Soft, shredded beef texture. - Suadero: Rose Meat x2: I couldn't tell the difference between this and the cabeza. While soft, they don't sear the suadero after braising for those delicious charred edges. Solid salsas: avocado (creamy and tangy) and habanero (punchy with a medium spicy kick) S E R V I C E The cashier was really friendly but the other staff were all business. Food took awhile since there was a group of 10 before us. A M B I A N C E Organized market filled with A LOT of items. Handful of shaded tables in front. P A R K I N G Shared lot with Clif Family Tasting Room. Overall, decent street tacos that scratch the itch esp if you're looking for cheap eats in the bougie St. Helena area. I prefer the grimy Tacos Garcia (truck) but Azteca has shaded outdoor seating so 3.5 stars rounded up. read more

Most delicious chiles rellenos anywhere! Have enjoyed them every time. Much better than the tamales which were a little on the dry side.

I was out this way for a wedding and stopped the day before for some food. The veggie burrito was huge and delicious, and I had to pick up a habanero hot sauce while I was there! Great hot sauce collection in the market! read more

This is a cute little spot right on the end of shops and stores of Main Street. There is no place to sit inside you would need to sit outside We needed a quick bit of food between tastings and Mexican food sounded good! It's a small shop with cooked food and groceries, even a small selection of produce. We got a burrito and ceviche. The food was quick and we were helped quickly but this isn't authentic Mexican food. I'm from SoCal, this food was missing flavor. And why is there carrots in my ceviche? It worked in a pinch. read more

PSA! Just found out a regular burrito at azteca means onions and cilantro. So if you don't like onions or cilantro like me please make sure you say no onions or cilantro. Also the cashier was seeming to have a day and ruined mine more. Very disappointed in Azteca. read more

This is such a great stop on the way to all the surrounding wineries. The market is really convenient if you are looking for light groceries, snacks, and delicious Mexican food! There's so many options to choose for the deli section. We opted for the burrito deluxe and it was ginormous! It was a beautiful day so we sat outside since there's a good amount of tables. We were able to get our order from the outside window. The staff were super friendly throughout. The burrito was pipping hot and wrapped to perfection. The first few bites were so flavorful and I was so happy I got the Al pastor. The cheese was so nicely melted and it was an incredibly delicious burrito. It had all the right fixings with the meat, onions, pico de gallo, rice, sour cream, beans, lettuce, and guacamole. I enjoyed the burrito from start to finish. I'll definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area! read more

We were starving after a few wine tastings and didn't have too much time to sit and enjoy, but this place popped up on Yelp and since one in our group wanted some Mexican, we gave it a try. So glad we did! The burritos were HUGE, cheap, and so filling! This place is true Mexican in Napa! If I lived closer I would pick up food from here all the time! Give the Al Pastor or Carnitas a try! And careful the salsa is spicy! read more

Oh Aztecas, how I miss you so. First off, whoever said this isn't close to "real" Mexican food just because they're from SoCal... imma let you know as a SoCal native that I believe Aztecas CLEARS a majority of spots down here. To start off, their fries are on a whole nother level. Freshly fried, cheese isn't the typical NACHO cheese but a stretcher, meltier, kind of cheese which coats each bite evenly with well seasoned chunks of meat. Their burritos and their Torta is really good too! I went to the college at PUC nearby for a total of 4 years and my favorite story to tell my friends and new transfers is how I walked the 8 miles down the hill just for their food. If that doesn't say anything about how good their food is, then I don't know what else will! read more

This has been one of my go to spots lately. You're not gonna go wrong with the Carne Asada or Carnitas regular burrito. Delicious! $1.99 Bag of chips and comes with red or green sauce. Staff is always kind and consistent great food! Patio out front and inside store is a plus read more

Super authentic Mex in St. Helena. Plus they have a bathroom and a cute little market.

We frequently go to Azteca Market for our takeout Mexican food. Great selection at reasonable prices. The Carnitas burrito is my go-to favorite. And their homemade chips are terrific, as is the guacamole. read more

Well deserved FIVE STAR review here. I never in my life expected to enjoy great quality Mexican food from St. Helena. I ordered the Carne Asada super burrito. First of all, the size of this burrito is huge. If you're not super hungry, you can share this burrito between two people. The carne asada is thinly sliced, well-seasoned, and tender. Sour cream was not too sour, guac added some texture and rice was soft, all wrapped in a authentic soft tortilla. I know this is a big statement, but I put this burrito in the best top 10 burritos I've ever had. Service wasn't the quickest, but I did come here on a Saturday and a wedding was going on in the area. Ambiance is obviously beautiful. You're in St. Helena surrounded by greenery and wineries. Next time I'll have to check out the market. The only thing I think this restaurant could work on is their online ordering system. It wasn't working for me or my cousin. We had to go down and order in person. 10 out of 10 recommend coming here for authentic mexican food. read more

Was nearby at a winery, doing a tasting, but obviously really hungry and the winery only had small-bites food that was not going to fill me up. I ordered the carne asada burrito and wow was it amazing. I really loved the big portioned burrito and the flavor of the salsa was delicious! Really filled me up and would definitely drop in again after/before a wine tasting in Napa. If you're in the market for some Latino food/grocery store finds, this is your store. They have a great selection of things you need in your kitchen read more

Azteca will treat you right when you need to recharge in between wine tastings. Their burritos, tacos and tamales are AMAZING in taste and quantity and the orders come out very quickly (during off peak times of course). Be sure you have someone to share the order with because I guarantee you'll wish you hadn't scarfed down that hefty 3lb burrito into your storage unit all by yourself. Pro tip, ask for the chile rojo and thank me later. The chicken tamales are my favorite since they're utensils-friendly but also extremely packed with flavor. Azteca certainly makes its menu items with care and has been consistent throughout the years. 100% recommend, every single time. read more

This place is a (somewhat) hidden gem on south side of Saint Helena, on outskirts of downtown located directly across from Farmstead. Azteca is both a very small grocery and casual counter-order service eatery. Mexican cuisine is the story here - very reasonably priced grocery items and better yet, made to order tacos, burritos, empanadas, poblanos, & quesadillas (see menu pic). There's outside tables for dining as well. read more

The Taqueria is a wonderful gem tucked away in the corner of the market. A "mom and pop" type operation with traditional Mexican comfort food that is super rich with flavor. A very low key and casual dining for take out or eat at the outdoor cafe tables. All of the dishes were freshly made and generous portions and reasonable prices. Free parking is available and views of vineyards and the wine train add to a a really great experience for no frills food clearly made with love. read more

Driven by Azteca Market many many times the last few years heading into St. Helena and have always seen a crowd. We finally had the chance to stop by and try the food here. I ordered a carne asada super burrito which weighed in at over 1.5 pounds! There was a generous amount of meat. The refried beans were creamy and flavorful, as was the Spanish rice. Delicious! The pastor street taco was excellent! There was so much meat and toppings you could not even see the two tortillas below it. These two things probably weren't the best things to eat a day prior to my annual physical's blood draw. Oops! We also ordered the cheese and pepper two tamale plate. It included a generous amount of refried beans and rice. They sell a huge amount of hot sauces that I've never seen or heard of before. I took a picture to do some research on which ones to buy next time I'm in the area. The food was ready in less than 10 minutes. Unfortunately, they were out of horchata that day but we did try the guava and mango agua frescas though. Both great and not overly sweet. read more

Truly disappointed with this place, I ordered super burrito and I got my order with just mashed beans and too much rice and a little chicken, no any other things. The only reason if I didn't return the food because I was hungry and didn't have enough time . NOT MY PLACE ANYMORE! I don't recommend eating here. read more

Azteca is amazing. When I went to Culinary school in Napa Azteca was always one of my go tos. It's also actually affordable for a college student. They also have a cool market om the side. read more

Staying in town for work and my host, who knows I love tacos, etc, recommended I come here. I had a lovely chat with the gentleman who took my order; he enlisted the help of two of his food prep mates in asking their recommendations between their pollo, carne asada, and carnitas options on which they were divided. I've been eating a lot of chicken lately so I went with their carnitas deluxe burrito (absolute yum!! did not disappoint) and purchased a pint of arroz, frijoles, salsa verde, and guacamole. Will definitely return at least two more times during this trip to try their pollo and carne asada. Yum, yum, yum! Thank you read more

Pretty great Mexican food for the price. Azteca has great food for the most part, and is the only place I've ever loved getting carne asada from. The steak isn't chewy, and tastes pretty good. The biggest positive to this place, is the fact that it's cheaper than gotts and A&W. I usually get the same amount, or more food for a better price! read more

Private drivers in wine country know all the good inexpensive spots to eat! While my clients are at Press having Steaks, in St Helena, I'm indulging my vice for authentic Mexican food. Azteca where two hands, and a hearty appetite, is required to eat this burrito. I was hungry and this is the right place! Honestly, I always go to La Luna Market , so glad I came here , Not only was it HUGE but it was largely filled with Carne Asada now I'm full . We have fantastic Mexican food here! You know it's authentic when the Mexican community loves this place. Just a note as every type of restaurant food is pretty expensive here' Mexican food is still a bargain! They have a big selection of hot sauces to choose from yes I would say it is an addiction! read more

This review is solely for the taqueria. We'd heard good things about the food but are usually in the area for wine tasting and this spot wasn't high on the list but we recently gave it a try and were pleasantly surprised by the best taqueria style burritos we've found in years. The seating outside is limited and you order inside the market - it would be nice if they made it available to order from the outside window passthrough and more seating would be nice. You are close to the 29 so cars are wizzing by but you can also catch a nice view of the train. read more

Do you know how happy I was to find this gem in Napa? Delicious, authentic Mexican restaurant in the middle of wine country!! Great stop for a quick lunch break in between wineries. They're fast and they're gooood. I got the lengua plate and my friends got the enchiladas-- just try whatever, I'm sure it's bomb too! I also enjoyed the tamirindo Fresca. Great snacks and beverages selection at the market too. read more

Azteca Market - Grocery Near Me - St. Helena, California

I write this review reluctantly. I have loved Azteca for decades, but lately I've been disappointed and frankly, avoided it. I have bought dozens of burritos there over the years and really enjoyed them. I've always appreciated that it is a family owned business and all the family is very friendly and courteous. The problem is, the last few times I have ordered a vegan burrito (without meat or dairy) it is 95% rice. There are hardly any beans and very little else. I vowed last time not to go again, but my husband picked up burritos for lunch. And again, RICE burritos. The pictures are 1/4 and 1/2 of the way through the burrito. By the end there was a little lettuce, a little pico de gallo, and very few beans. I wish Azteca would go back to making great vegetarian burritos. read more
