Good prices, good homestyle Mexican food, friendly service. One of our go to spots in the area. They even refill the horchata.

They charged me $5 to use the restroom. I went in and had to pay for a drink which I understood. She said a horchata was $5.50 so I just asked for a fountain Coke instead since I only had a $5 in cash and it cost $10 to use card. When I came out the restroom for my change she said a medium fountain drink was also $5.50. Ridiculous. read more

This is a good cute restaurant. Service is great too. Their food is good too however their Menudo disappointed me only because it needed more taste flavor. Lack of salt and the meat would be better if in smaller pieces. But over all great restaurant. read more

BEWARE THEY WILL ARGUE WITH YOU AND TRY TO CHARGE YOU FOR THE MISTAKE. I order the chicken del creama told them that I was allergic to onions.Of course it came back with onion's they told me they would make me and new plate. They just brought the same plate out to me. I understand if they made a mistake but to argue with the customer and not talk to the coworker first. Then they charged my wife for the plate but I look at the receipt so we had to have them void it and charge it with the new total. It doesn't seem like they have any communication. read more

I just love this place. Ive lived here for about 10 yrs now and love the staff and the food! Taco Tuesday is a must. My favorite for any other time is a Taco Charro. This is a fried flour tortilla in the shape of a Taco shell. I love the shredded beef, although you can choose whatever meat you prefer. It also comes with lettuce, tomato. Sour cream and guacamole. I order it ala carte. That's plenty for me, but you can order it as a combo with beans and rice. It's nice to have a great Mex food restaurant out here in the Acres-no having to drive into the city!!! read more

I did not expect to find the best Mexican food I've EVER had right here in the Mojave desert. The authenticity of the food shines through with the service. Every time I've ordered, be it a pickup order or to sit down in the restaurant, I am met with promptness, politeness, and competence. Sitting down inside is a treat all on its own. The ambience is a mix of people all with smiles on their faces and it's always clean and inviting. Azteca is my new go to for Mexican food and I can't recommend them enough. read more

Small unassuming plaice but they have the best chile verde! Definitely will stop here when we come back through.

Wow! Such great food and service. We came to the poppy reserve and came here after building up some hunger from walking. We were greeted with a nice warm basket of tortilla chips and salsa...mm... I ordered the molcajete (my first time trying) it came as a hot plate with refried beans, cheese, and rice with a bowl of chicken, beef, and mushroom (stew?). It came with a side of a few tortillas as well! There was a choice between flour and corn. We also ordered a few tacos but I was too full and content. The service was amazing as well and I would love to try more dishes here. read more

I'm all about supporting a family owned business! However, the $$$ is way way too much! Great people! Great food! But, swamp cooler ain't cutting it! Too humid and hot inside. read more

Updating to add, so I remember for next time I'm out here visiting my mother, that the green chile pork is SUPERB. One of the best implementations of this dish that I've had, and I should totally order that. read more

It's 2025 guys! If you're charging 5.00 for an Ice Tea you should use decent reverse osmosis water instead of chlorinated tap water from the sink food wasn't good either. Was recommended bye some friends now I know they have no taste, how does a Mexican restaurant make shitty tacos?? Tell me please 0 stars no recommendation from me! 65.00 for two meals read more

We live out here, so it's a no brainer. But it really is legit! Everything is dialed in, and this is easily my favorite spot around for fajitas!! (Side note, if you like toreados, these are also the best around!). Don't let the exterior fool you, it only adds to the experience. read more

We visited for dinner on Tuesday with a party of four and it was a nice experience. They have moved back to their old location, so basically the exterior looks like an old house covered with graffiti. We were seated in a large booth in the corner, and drink orders were taken. The margarita was a little weak. The chips and salsa can not be beat. They homemade chips are addictive and their habanero salsa adds a nice kick. We ordered a couple Carne Tampiquenas, Enchiladas, and another Carne dish. All were excellent and well presented. You can't beat a steak wrapped in bacon! The service started out a bit slow, but improved as the meal progressed. He was nice enough to help with splitting the check and multiple credit cards. Overall: Stop by for excellent Mexican food if you are in the area. read more

Who would have know, but I'm here to share a great place to eat at. The food was fresh and perfect flavor. Service was grand family vibe flowing with everyone that working a true smile. I really love the wood walls like i'm up in the mountains cabin look cozier to set and eat in my house by far.. Also great tasting cocktails well blend one Sour Whiskey and one Tequila Sunrise loved it.. Next time I'm not missing out on dessert. read more

Good food. Overpriced for Mexican food. There are a few places in town that I prefer, for both the food and the prices. But it's convenient for those who live in the acres. read more

Very amazing Menudo did not expect you would only get this taste in Los Angeles. I would never thought I would've got this taste in Lancaster. Thanks you guys. read more

Every thing about this place is excellent. They are very accommodating in every way. If you ask they will make a batch of flour tortilla chips. read more

We're back!!! It was wonderful news to hear that they had gone back to being a full-service restaurant and they're open for dinner again. Yay! There's a real vibe to the place that's hard to describe, but you can see that people love coming here to eat. Same wonderful salsa, still one of our favorites in the valley. Creatures of habit, we started with salad, extra blue cheese dressing. Mr. Picky ordered the usual Chili Relleno, and I ordered the shrimp banderillas (extra cheese on the rice and extra mushrooms) in order to see if that's still as delicious as it used to be. Very decadent. Great dish to share. Need to come back and refamiliarize with the menu, try the soups we used to like. Back soon. read more

Ok, first off, the address on Yelp is wrong. I tried to update the location, but it wouldn't let me. I'll post a picture of the map. The service is awesome, and the young lady helping us is super sweet. The bathroom is small and needs air freshener. Full bar! Super plus! Seated immediately. Drinks prompt. Salsa and chips on point! So good. Very crisp. Great spice and flavor on salsa. We ordered chili con queso it was so stinking good! Enchiladas, yum! Chicken toquitas is big! Wish we knew it had peppers and tomatoes in it. Everything was really good. The margaritas are fantastic! I highly recommend you stop in here. read more

Wow..! What a great new find. YES... it's a few miles out, but well worth the drive, to be sure. This recommendation came from friends, who know their stuff. And true to their words, it may not be a lot to look at from the street, but once inside it's a very welcoming and comfortable place. And extremely nice folks working there who make you feel right at home. So, you always have 'Chip Expectations' when visiting a new Mexican restaurant, and the bowl of chips (and two nice bowls of salsa) brought to our table were still warm. And they were so very good. I could have stuck with those alone and been a happy camper. They have an Abuelita hiding in the kitchen blessing each and every batch, me thinks. All four of us thought they were delicious. I had a carnitas burrito, mojado style (wet with sauce), with rice and beans. If the kitchen knows how to do a great pork roast for shredding it's a good sign, true..? Well, these folks do a GREAT job with their carnitas. No surprise, as the folks who run the place have a Dad and Uncle that started in the Santa Clarita area 30 years ago. Practice makes perfect, they say. But they've obviously not been merely practicing but perfecting to a higher degree. It was great. And my wife always says that a Chili Relleno is her indicator of a kitchens knowledge. She loved it, they nailed it, all great there. The son, who can be a bit pickier at times (life on the A scale...) had an awesome looking plate of simple but great nachos with beans and chicken. It looked like a picture from a cook book. In fact, when ALL of our dished came to the table... and we just sat and stared at them for a minute. This is beautifully presented food, truly. The daughter-unit had a quesadilla with rice and beans that were in miniature tostada shells, with a very nice guacamole and pico de gallo. Can I use the 'C' word here..? Her plate of food was cute. There. I said it. But seriously, in a world full of restaurants where it seems like some chefs just don't care, these folk care, and it shows. The manager also came by to say 'Hello' and check on us, and the wait staff were so sweet. We'll be back... get those shrimp ready, folks! read more

Dined here twice. First time was bad, food was tasteless and service was really bad, only one customer and wait person seemed like she was busy doing everything but her job. I heard from a few people in Antelope Acres who thought this place was good so I thought, a couple of months later, that I'd give them another try. Second time was even worse, food seemed old, tasteless, and even looked bad. Taco Bell is far superior and for breakfast I've only been one place in the Antelope Valley that was worse and they went out of business. I would never recommend this location of Azteca to anyone. read more

Love the food but prices have gotten out of hand. Some examples: I usually order an a la cart chili verde burrito. Menu says $13.75. Bill was $14.30. One diet coke $5.15. A to go cup $.31. (I think the server should let people know about these xtra little annoying charges) A to go doggy container $.52. Then if you pay with a credit card they add 4% to the bill not to mention the 18-20% tip. It's too bad 'cuz It used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

Best Mexican food in the AV for sure and the price is very reasonable you need to try

Ordered wet burrito was really delicious , and service was fast.definitely will be coming back soon

One of my favorite spots for more better taste Mexican. Great service everytime, more than fair prices and excellent portions and flavors. The Carnitas and Carne asada burrito wet with the special house made hot chile are my go to's. Great spot to have a bite with friends on any night. read more

Let me start off by saying service is excellent. However, the food and drinks are super overpriced. $14 a Michelada drinks. Which btw the mix they use has a weird aftertaste. This kind of Mexican food is only good if you're not Mexican and you don't know how authentic Mexican food tastes. It caters to American taste buds. Food is mid and bland. Head over to the taco stand by Dollar General instead and grab yourself a Clamato, limes and Modelo Negras...you're welcome :) read more

Quality of food in this place has definitely gone downhill. Used to be really good, but not anymore. Salads are pre-prepared and left in the fridge, ready to be served. They charge you more than the menu says for both the drinks and the food. Margaritas do not have much alcohol in them. We went in there for dinner; not only were their employees hot, so were the customers. The thermostat was reading 79°, and the AC was off. read more

I would love to give this place 5 stars, but really the past couple of visits has determined we won't be returning. We've been to other locations, which are much better. This one is just not to par. The food is good, but the service is absolutely terrible when the female staff is serving. When the owner's son and nephew(?) are serving, the service is stellar. This place is kind of out of the way, so I'm not driving out to see who the servers are to determine whether or not we'll eat there. We drove out tonight and immediately my son was like "nope!" We stayed, though because we had my parents with us. My dad is disabled and on chemo, so driving out there to just turn around and go somewhere else is not really an option. In retrospect, we should have just gone around the corner to the Iron Cactus, but my parents wanted mexican. Every single time the female staff is serving, they don't actually listen to what is being ordered or they're irritated. It takes my dad a little longer to ask for items, as chemo has affected his brain. The women will walk away and roll their eyes or have a frustrated look on their faces, or they just don't bring him what he has requested. We'll have to ask for certain items numerous times. This is not good business. I've come other times without my parents and the female staff will grab our cups to refill them and then bring us each a cup that is not ours. How can you not keep track of whose cup you picked up? Like I said, we've been to other locations that have much better service and we will return to those locations. I cannot recommend this one. Don't waste the drive. read more

Theyre molcajete is bomb, best best flavor. It's spicy, the spice builds up but it's so good.Me and my mans share it and get a salad and we're straight.it comes with rice beans and tortillas. Also, the service is top notch, good people. And they know how to make a good drinks read more

Back for more. This time had the house sangria which we enjoyed. Not too sweet. Salsa was excellent again but the chips were a bit over cooked. I don't mind the extra dark chips but husband wasn't a fan. Ordered Molcajete again--excellent. Husband tried the carnitas burrito. The carnitas were very flavorful but a little on the salty side. Son ordered the pollo Azteca (wish I had taken a picture) and it was the star of the meal this time. Strips of chicken with sautéed onions peppers and carrots--seems weird but super good. It was over rice with cheese in a wonderful sauce. I've decided this place certainly has mastered a variety of delicious sauces. Son's gf ordered the beef enchilada & tamale. The shredded beef was very tasty. All in all a very good to excellent meal. Took off a star for the overcooked chips & bit too salty carnitas. Service was top notch. We'll definitely return read more

we had our first meal there and were disappointed. They somehow lost our order and it took 50 minutes to receive our meals. it eventually came and the chile rellenos were especially good, but it would have been a nice gesture to give us even a small discount or throw in a dessert. read more

On our route home from a drive to Lake Hughes we decided to look for a place to eat. Based off of proximity and yelp reviews we choose Azteca Mexican restaurant. I'm glad we did. Its a nice suprise, somewhat tucked away. As soon as we got there the service was emaculate. The young ladies were sweet and attentive. And sadly our kids were really cold so we took our food to go. Although the decision was made abruptly Karen(our server) was sweet, understanding and accommodating. Great service is always something I find satisfying and this joint delivered far beyond my expectations. Once we were able to eat the food we were happy that not only was the service on point but so was the food. We ordered a burrito plate, soups(albondiga and azteca), and 2 tamales of beef. All of which was delicious. We were all pleased. Definitely would recommend. P.s I only took a pic of my plate. Yumm! read more

I have lived in the acres for years and have been eating at Azteca and enjoying it the entire time. Tonight I got the enchilada suizas and brought it home, where I discovered the chicken was raw. I called to let them know and they asked me to bring it in, so I did. I did not ask for a replacement or a refund. When I got there they tried to tell me that this was onion. I didn't know onion was squishy and had fat. It's RAW chicken. They even tried to tell me that the enchiladas can be "more rare". Chicken can't be "rare". I'll never be back because this is disgusting read more

My husband and I recently tried this place and loved it. We will be back to try more items from the menu. What a great place.

Best Burrito Colorado an Chimichangas in the AV Vall they were good but needed a little hot sauce

Food is really good here. The drink are amazing and the service is incredible. Definitely would recommend.

Food was horrible, service was horrible and the experience was the same. Food tasted on the verge of bad. Understand it's day after July 4th but have some respect for the people that try and support a business. Supporting this establishment for almost a decade and had similar experience awhile back and returned to try again and will not be back after this time. read more

I can tell a lot about a restaurant just from the salsa and chips they serve. So, I knew I was going to thoroughly enjoy my meal. The food is delicious and the service is great. I'm happy a friend of mine recommended the place, and I've continued this trend by sharing this hidden gem with other friends and family. We've even celebrated a couple birthdays here too! Just try it, I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Came in for dinner and was immediately greeted by a friendly hostess. As soon as we sat down our drinks were taken and chips and salsa were given. The chips were good...could use alittle more salt but still good, not greasy. The salsa was good. Not hot but still flavorful. Their blended watermelon margarita was so good. Not strong just good. Ordered the whole fried red snapper with rice. My fish needed salt and hot sauce on it. It was hot and fresh. You definitely get your moneys worth. I will definitely come back especially since its in my neighborhood now. read more
