Texas Margarita Victoria Beer
Ben K.

In the mood for a chill, quick bite, we headed to El Azteca because it's close to our house! Plenty of parking available in their dedicated lot. The interior of the space was well decorated, with plenty of seating for various group sizes. Our server was on top of everything... Even without writing a single thing down. No mistakes on our slightly complicated orders. The food was great! No frills, but not a bad bite. I ordered the Burrito Mex, which came with half steak and half chicken, onions, and all the traditional sides. It was a great serving size and tasted solid! The meat was a bit dry but nothing some of the included cheese sauce couldn't fix. We'd definitely go back!

Chimichanga
Emily S.

Ordered takeout this time but have dined in multiple times before. Service is fast and friendly! I ordered guacamole, and chicken fried rice which is just arroz con pollo with a different name. The guacamole was chunky yet creamy and hit the spot! The chicken fried rice was cheesy and filling and was a large portion. I'd order some side tortillas with this dish next time since they aren't already included. Other menu items I've had here before have also hit the spot! This restaurant is worth checking out if you are in the area.

Chips and dip
Eyely B.

The food here was good, left very full and I took my whole meal home after lots of chips and dip. This restaurant was one of the more pricer Mexican restaurants that we have been to in the area. We got here around 4:45 on a Friday night, not many people in to begin with. Service was pretty slow and the waiter only came over if it was pretty evident that we needed him. Ambiance was nice, we wanted to sit outside on the patio due to it being 70°+ but they did not have patio furniture out. Overall it is nice because it is so close to us, but in the future we would probably go to a different Mexican restaurant in the future.

Quesadilla
Kathleen K.

We stopped by later in the evening and it wasn't too busy. The food was okay. My husband liked his quesadilla. I had the Enchiladas Vegetarianas and once again they weren't very warm inside. We had to flag down another waiter after 10 minutes to obtain our check.

I've been here many times, the food is always good. They give you free chips, salsa, and white sauce while dining in. I love the white sauce, which is one of the reasons I eat here. The staff always seems friendly and they have good service. They have seating indoors and outdoors.

Burrito San Jose

The Fresh guacamole was amazing, lots of flavor along with my burrito San Jose, I would get both items again the next time we go there. Food had a lot of flavor, highly recommend if looking for good Mexican food

We came here around 6 on a Friday and we were seated immediately! We ordered drinks and apps right…read moreaway and they were good. The service was pretty slow, but it could be because it was a Friday night! Our food was good, but nothing to write home about. It was a fun atmosphere, and when the weather is better I would be excited to come back and enjoy the outdoor seating. We'll be back just because of the proximity, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

My boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try one night after work…read more This restaurant is connected to Bodega 42, which is a Hispanic grocery store! They have so many different, foods, drinks, pastries, deli items, it's definitely worth exploring before or after dinner! There is free parking but the lot is not very big. You may need to park in the street (also free). Upon walking in, we were greeted by several employees! We opted to sit out on the patio, since it was a gorgeous night! After 10 minutes no one had come to the table... 15 minutes... still no one. No water, drinks or their complimentary chips. They weren't overly busy, so this didn't make sense to us. At minute 20 I got up to talk to a manger. The waitress saw me go up to the front and tried to wave me down to say "I got you." I'm sorry but 20 minutes in a restaurant that isn't packed is ridiculous. At the very least she could have brought water and said she would be with us soon, but she never acknowledged we were there. I spoke with the manager and noted that it had been 20 minutes with no one coming to our table. I told him i understood she had other tables but that we just hadn't even been acknowledged. He said "she doesn't have that many tables! Let's go!" He took our order on the spot! He brought us complimentary guacamole and horchata with our chips! That was a very nice gesture! I assured him we weren't out for freebies, we just wanted to order our food. He was very friendly and definitely took care of us! Our food came out very quickly and we were checked on multiple times. He definitely turned what was a very negative experience around! The vibes here are really great! The patio was so nice! It was well maintained and clean! The food: I got the pulpo (octopus) tacos! They had a tropical and buttery flavor to them! I opted to take the picked onion off mine but I'm sure that's tasty as well! The chips had a nice crisp and saltiness to them and the salad was one of the best complimentary ones we have tried! My boyfriend had the chicken fajitas and noted they were tasty with a solid portion. The horchata here is also pretty solid! Overall, this place is worth the try! Tip: don't get the dessert at the restaurant, grab it to go from the bodega! It's about $4-$5 cheaper!

Our first visit was during a limited-menu event, so we wanted to experience everything the full menu had to offer. This time definitely delivered. We grabbed a table on the patio, which made for a great evening. Service was friendly and efficient, and the complimentary chips and salsa hit the table almost immediately. The salsa had just enough kick to keep us reaching for another chip. My wife stuck with what she knew and ordered the Choriburrito again. After loving it the first time, she wasn't about to change a good thing, and it was every bit as good as she remembered. I decided to branch out with the Chimichanga Sampler, and it was easily the highlight of the meal. Each chimichanga brought its own flavor profile, making it fun to work through the plate instead of feeling repetitive. The pulled chicken was tender and well-seasoned, while the seafood version stood out with rich flavor and was my personal favorite. After two visits, it's safe to say this has become one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. There are still plenty of menu items we're excited to try, so we'll definitely be back.

Delicious street tacos that are only $2 each on Taco Tuesdays! The corn tortillas are fresh and the…read moretacos are loaded with onions and cilantro. The steak asada tacos are my favorite -- the beef is perfectly salted and so flavorful. I also enjoyed the chicken tinga tacos, which has a tomato-based adobo sauce. The barbacoa tacos were juicy but I would've liked a little more salt. Don't miss the condiment area, where you can get lime wedges and mild, medium, and hot salsas. The mild salsa wasn't spicy at all and added nice flavor to the tacos. The medium salsa isn't that spicy if you have a spice tolerance. The hot salsa is more hot than flavorful. Food is made quickly and service is friendly.

My daughter has been here numerous times and recommended this place for tacos. We put in our order and waited for our number to be called. We grabbed our drinks and sauces while they cooked our food. We sat by the front where the high tops are looking into a glass. You can see the lady making fresh tortillas and they have the machete tacos too!! These are 1 feet taco, equivalent to 3 tacos. I will have to order it next time. Alot of people came to order takeout, otherwise the restaurant was full of patrons with their family. Restaurant is a good size, clean, and self service.
