Dry rubbery meat, not flank or skirt

Ordered takeout out 2 carne asada dinners. I drove 25 minutes each way to order from a brand of Mexican restaurant that I thought would hold the standards of all azteca restaurants. One they use sirloin for carne asada. Traditionally it's flank or skirt that give it a nice flavorful shredding moist ability so you can add it to your tortilla. Instead it's overdone rubbery petite sirloin. Secondly, the tortillas were so dry they cracked when you tried to put anything in it. Burning up a $50 bill would have been more exciting! On the upside the beans and rice were good. Sadly you pay for the meat when ordering these dinners.

Weird soupy sweet flavored "fajitas". See all that weird sauce in there with the chicken?? So weird. It tasted like Italian dressing.

Staff was nice but the food was GROSS & extremely under cooked, had a weird slimy dressing on it too. I always order the same thing when I get Azteca/Mexican food. Chicken Fajitas, or a fajita combo. My fajitas came out on a plate. I've never had that happen. They usually always come on a cast iron skillet, sizzling and popping & steamy fresh. This looked like it was microwaved. No grill marks or charbroil marks on anything. The chicken looked microwaved or boiled. The chicken & veggies had a really weird gooey/slimy sauce on them. It was very sweet tasting like Chinese food/dipping sauce. Not savory at all. I thought it looked like Italian salad dressing if I'm being honest ! It was WEIRD & definitely not like any fajita I've ever had from any other azteca in the past. The veggies were not cooked. They looked like they had just been sliced and microwaved a minute or two. They were crunchy and gross. We paid, left, & went to the Mexican restaurant over by Safeway instead. They had great food. Huge portions, & the fajitas there were like what I would of expected from azteca. I have never had a gross experience at an Azteca until I came here, I've been going to Azteca Restaurants in Washington all my life & this was the only location I've had a bad experience at with gross food. Off the bat the vibes were weird because the place was dead & in a weird spot. I honestly don't know how they stayed open. That weird sweet gooey sauce on the chicken traumatized me though lol

Flautas

If you're looking for friendly and quick service, this is the place for you. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, it is not. The queso was obviously Velveeta cheese and the flautas were made with flour tortillas and were cut into pieces, not whole or crispy. The chips were probably from a bag: not fresh or hot. Wouldn't recommend.

Okay, it really kills me to do this but, I have to take Azteca down a star. I love their nachos, but I almost think it is more of a sentimental sort of love. There is something special about their cheese blend and the guacamole they use is perfect but they are pretty greasy (as shown in a photo I took of them). I went there with my boyfriend and he says that they really aren't all that spectacular. Still, they haven't lost my interest over the last 20 or so years and that is saying something. He really liked the chips and salsa though! The salsa is pretty fiery so tasters beware. Every chance I get, I'll be here but it isn't for everyone. Then again, Lewis County isn't known for its fine dining. This place is a gem.

Love this place, great authentic food. Been coming here for years. Anytime I drive through this…read morearea I have to stop. Adabada tacos are like meat candy a must try. Love the pickled carrots too.

I wish I took pictures, I live in Vancouver and met my bestie that lives in Puyallup, to catch up…read moreso I wasn't thinking of food pictures. The restaurant is decorated like you're in someone's home in Mexico, it was so cute! It was very busy when we came in They don't have chips and salsa fyi - this joint is incredibly authentic Not a HUGE menu, but decent amount of choices which right away tells me they do what they do well if the menu isn't 8 pages haha We got quick service, there was one woman seating people, taking orders, and closing checks, and she did it well! My friend and I ordered soup (specifically carne en su jugo), which is my FAVORITE SOUP EVER, and I can't ever find it anywhere, and boy oh boy I will drive the 1.5 hours to get it again and again, it was perfect. They provide maximum of 2 ramekins of pickled carrots (cost if you want more, which were amazing) and 1 ramekin of green salsa (charge if you want more - and it's spicy but so good!) 3 crispy chicken tacos 1 mole with refried beans taquito (not rolled) 1 adobado pork sopa 1 adobado pork taco 2 chorizo tacos 1 hibiscus aqua fresca The restaurant doesn't have any music on, which I always appreciate background noise in general, but my friend and I were talking so much and the place was busy I didn't notice too much We planned on meeting monthly in Centralia and will continue to go here to eat, check it out!!!
