    Roach in salad

    I am so disgusted. This was always a family favorite. Not anymore! I ordered a side salad, when they brought it out I go to grab my fork to eat and there was a disgusting roach on top of my salad!!!!!! I

    Interior decor

    After reading so many positive reviews, we came here to try the food. First, the decor and ambiance. The restaurant is classically Mexican, with framed paintings of Aztecs, faux adobe walls, and some lovely chandeliers. The seats could use some fresh stuffing, but overall the interior was a delight. The chips and salsa were a delight. The chips had something extra, maybe a touch of lime. I ordered a Cadillac margarita and the husband ordered a bourbon smash. He enjoyed his a great deal. Mine was, sadly, mediocre. I think they used an off the shelf mix and adding good tequila to a poor mix will mix make a good drink. I requested since fresh lime and that helped. I think I will order off the specialty cocktail menu next time. I explained I needed Gluten Free and Dairy Free and Dairy Free and our waitress confirmed my choice (steak ala Mexicana) me that criteria. The husband had shrimp al mojo de ajo. We both enjoyed our choices a great deal. The portions were generous and there is plenty to take home. The service was solid and so was the service ambiance. The staff seemed happy, occasional laughter floated thru the air, and both we and other customers near us were well cared for. Overall? We had a good evening and intend to eat there again.

    We were in Milpitas neighborhood and found this highly rated Mexican restaurant. We walked in without reservation on a Friday night and it was busy but not so busy to get a table right away. The paintings and lighting in the restaurant were very warm and welcoming! We ordered drinks and entrees in 5-7 minutes of seating and service was quick. We had chips and salsa served. We were served salad with thousand island dressing which was complimentary with the main entrees. Salad was not very fresh and dressing was very sweet and not tasty. I would skip it. Fajitas were good, my son enjoyed it a lot. It had lots of flavor and would reorder. Chicken Mole was good but the chicken was little chewy Chicken enchilada was my husbands favorite Lastly we had a slice of Tres Leches for the table which kids gobbled but for me it was very sweet and less moist. Overall we had a great evening!!

    Chips and salsa

    My party was seated right away on a Friday evening. Loved the complimentary chips and salsa. Tortilla chips were nice and warm. Ordered the enchiladas suizas (1 beef, 1 chicken). Beef was alright and on the drier/tougher end, but chicken enchilada was great! Sauce was flavorful and I enjoyed the rice and beans on the side. The menu said the plates come with a side salad but none of us got the side salads for our 3 enchilada plates. Not a huge deal at all though. Service was wonderful. They were so friendly and quick in clearing the table, refilling waters, checking in frequently, and bringing out the food/drinks. The vibes in here are pretty nice too, good spot to catch up and dine at. Would come back!

    Had a really great experience at Casa Azteca ! The food was fresh, flavorful, and tasted authentic everything came out hot and well prepared. You can tell they put care into their dishes, and the portions were satisfying too. The service was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, making it a nice spot to sit and enjoy your meal. Whether you're going with family or just stopping by for a casual bite, it's definitely a place I'd recommend. I'll for sure be coming back to try more from the menu.

    It's been awhile since our last visit here. It was nice to see the manager, Harry. Our server was Gustavo, who is our favorite. It was nice catching up with both of them. We were served cold water and chips and salsa right away. Gustavo took our order. We ordered their casa special margarita grande. It was huge and perfect for sharing and very tasty. They don't skimp on the alcohol either. I ordered the Chapala combo which is a taco and enchilada plate with beans and rice. I chose beef for the taco and chicken for the enchilada. Both were seasoned very well and were delicious. My husband got the shrimp and chicken fajitas with all the fixings. He loved it. Both our meals came with a side salad. We both chose the pepper corn ranch dressing. Our food came out quickly and ever this was made perfectly. You could hear the fajitas sizzling. The potions of our food were hefty. Service here was awesome as usual. Thank you to Casa Azteca for a great lunch. We look forward to seeing you again soon!!

    casa azteca had great food and good portions. I like that they served a salsa that wasn't spicy. Their drinks are huge portion also. Their service was good and patient with us since we couldn't make up our mind on what we wanted? And the ambience had plenty of seating

    Food & Ambiance: we randomly found this place and surprised by interior decoration. It's very homey and also colorful. The food tasted GREAT. We were really full so we planned to bring the loaded fries home but it was so good that we kept reaching for it. The tacos I ordered with steak, shrimp/ fish and chicken, amazing! They have some different types of burritos and the one we got is surprisingly filling and refreshing! Service: all of them are so warm and welcoming. Very helpful whenever we raised our hand for water or boxes. Would definitely want to come again!

    OMG amazing!! Came in with a big group of 8 people and our server, Ruth, was a SUPERSTAR She was amazing with handling our big party, and was a total pleasure to be with! Service aside, the food was super yummy. I have chicken enchiladas verde and churros for dessert. Our table also got margarita pitchers, and the reviews were RIGHT. The best ever, the tequila they use is really good quality. Overall such a fun night with my group, 10/10 would do it again!

    As a long time patron of Casa Azteca, we had to go and celebrate their 45 Year Anniversary. The restaurant was full and decorated festively. The staff greeted us warmly with big smiles and sat us right away. The special 1980 menu had awesome prices, which we took advantage of. The one of the owners, Hari, stopped by our table and thanked us for our support of the restaurant. We appreciate feeling like family in this family-owned restaurant. Wishing them many more years of good food and service.

    Thanks to our friends, we visited this amazing restaurant. My son was amazed with the name and kept thinking about the colonial era. He enjoyed the wall paintings. I would say, we all did as well. Beautiful!!!! Let's get to food. I ordered shrimp fajitas which was delicious and generous portion. The refried beans and tortillas were okay. For the first time, my daughter ordered Mexican pizza. Not sure, if she'll ever order again. And to my surprise they had chicken wings on the menu. It's a Mexican restaurant. My son ended up getting chicken wings but it had no Mexican flavors. My husband ordered pork fajitas however he found it dry. Customer service was great. Yesterday was National Margarita Day. We did celebrate by ordering house Margarita's which delicious. Totally recommending the margarita. And try the guacamole dip. You will love the crunchy chips. Overall, awesome experience.

    Combo plate : cheese enchilada and chili relleno
    Stephanie S.

    My boyfriend took me here for dinner on a Friday night. It was my first time here but he's familiar with it. I guess this place has been around for a long time because he used to frequent it in high school. When we walked in, it was crowded at all. We were greeted and sat right away. He said, just watch this place is going to get packed. By the time we got our food, it did just that. Service was great! Food was great! Ambiance was great! I wasn't in the mood for a cocktail but I saw a few being delivered to tables that looks delicious. Warning, the salsa is spicy! Now I love me some spice but I wasn't expecting it to hit like that. The flavor was amazing though so I couldn't stop dipping. Some days I can handled more spice than others...this must have been one of those other days. We ordered artichoke dip for an appetizer, modelo for the boyfriend, chile verde, and combo plate of one cheese enchilada and one chili relleno. All the food had great flavor!

We were thrilled to book for an hour. At first we were given a small room, then we were asked to go to a different room which was bigger, medium size. We were fine as it was just my friend and I, the two of us. We had so much fun singing the English songs from YouTube. The only thing is there wasn't a way to input the songs in advance on YouTube. The karaoke system they had is mostly for Mandarin songs. We were told if we want to sing English songs to use YouTube. We were fine with that. Although it would have been nice to have English songs from an actual karaoke system than YouTube as you can do YouTube anywhere, just need a speaker system. But my friend and I still had fun. We were able to sing some BTS songs and 90s music! Overall, we had a blast singing for an hour. We didn't get a chance to try any drinks or foods. Next time! I also want to try some Mandarin songs next time. My friend didn't know Mandarin, so I didn't want to do Mandarin songs since she didn't understand, only sang English songs with her. Overall, I had a fun night! There is a 18% cleaning fee that is mandatory. No happy hour. The room is very clean. No disco ball.

Standard YouTube set up for song selection and I think only getting an hour felt short but we did pack in a good amount of songs. They give you disposable mic covers for your jam session. I'd definitely come back for another round

Their steaks flavor was well seasoned. It comes with crispy bread bites goes well with their dipping sauces. I also dipped the sauce with the steak which gave it even more flavor. Bulgogi Cream Pasta: creamy flavorful pasta in every bite. It comes with crispy garlic bread. LA galbi Omurice: Creamy egg rice packed with flavors. My favorite dishes were prime long ribs and bulgogi pasta! The atmosphere of this place, feels like you're at a flower shop and cafe. They served brunch and now dinner too. I went during dinner time, I love how they have varieties selection of food and drinks. Love the presentation of the plating, and they have floral interior. In addition, they sells fresh flowers bouquet. Highly recommended this place for good high-end Korean fusion food and aesthetic spot to take pictures.

    Never knew a neighborhood bar can offer a food menu to enjoy there or order for pick up or delivery…read more(through a third party) The foods are pretty good. I have tried several items such as street tacos, quesabirria tacos, burritos, Barbacoa (soup) and menudo (soup). My favorites are the weekend red menudo which has no hominy, but wish it did and the burrito (in both sizes). Menudo is one of the best in the area (I shouldn't say that too loud, but it's true). It's not watered down like other restaurants, it's full bodied and meats (tripe and pata) are soft. I do wish we had an option of hominy that we can request. Burrito have been filling as I have tried several meats. It's heavy to the hand and filling to anyone's belly. Sometimes I enjoy for 2 mini meals in a day. Quesa birria tacos are the third favorite. Cheesy, crispy and greasy in the best way. Consume is flavorful too. The least favorites are the barbacoa (soup) as itwas mostly broth and minimal shreds of beef, if any. The tacos are enjoyed by family, but there is an abundance of a taste or flavor I don't prefer. I maybe wrong but I think it's oregano (but again not 100%). The third not so fav are the regular nachos with just cheese and jalepeno. Also, a negative is that 2 orders were missing items. So check your bags to make sure. So thats not a good feeling when that part of someone's order but recourse is to drive back or let third party know to get a few dollars off. We prefer to receive order and enjoy. Not to follow up with a drive back or a complaint of an item shortage to get refunded a few bucks. Otherwise the staff inside are very nice and understanding. The menudo and burrito are favorited of mine. I will follow up and order other dishes or appetizers, along with the weekend red menudo.

The fries were actually the best part. I had the nachos and the chips def needed salt. I ate about half because I was starving but they would've been better with more beans and sauce as it was still quite bland. The nachos look better than they tasted that's for sure.

And they knew we were done because the waiter came and took half our plates when we were finished. The place was practically dead so I don't know what the hold up was. I'm sure this place gets packed when there's events going on. The food and prices were not my favorite. I don't live nearby so I obviously wouldn't make the trip back out just to eat here again. The only thing note worthy was the atmosphere since the kids had a blast hanging out with their friends.
