Superb food, friendly and fast service. The pricing here was fair and the aesthetic of the restaurant was calm and relaxed. I appreciate the hours of operation here also. Nice family spot or for friends. read more

I don't know where to begin. My favorite place is no more. Most of the few people that work there are great and I feel sorry for them because they're overworked. This place used to be really good and you could mostly overlook the inconsistency in food, which is/was pretty good. They used to have broken TVs which are now better. But now they have a broken or very ineffective AC problems that's lasted the entire summer. To make matters worse they've raised what were very fair prices, 25%+ overnight with the "new" menu. It's a shame because I would imagine they may lose some business. Declining food, much higher prices, and dinners that take over 2 hours because of labor issues. La Tonalteca's food is better and they don't have all the other issues. Makes me sad. read more

Visited on a Tuesday night. The pros- good food and drinks overall! Cheese enchiladas, chicken burrito (delicious white meat), guacamole, frozen pina colada. Thick, flavorful homemade salsa. Our server Manny was very attentive and friendly. The cons- although the restaurant was not crowded, the food took a long time to arrive. Also, more importantly, platters are served without any of the usual garnishes. No guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, or shredded lettuce. My suggestion is to add these items for both taste and presentation. Overall, I would recommend it! read more

Excellent food and friendly prompt service made for a nice meal here with the family. Enjoyed my shrimp and scallop with peppers onions and mushrooms. The shrimp and scallops were large and perfectly grilled. The street corn was perfectly seasoned. read more

We went here for lunch on a weekday. It was not busy and they sat us right away. Inside is okay, nothing exciting but clean. Service was okay, not very fast and not super attentive but the waitress was nice. The chips and salsa was fine, again nothing special. We shared a margarita flight which was fairly good, tastes like it is all made from a mix so didn't love that but it was fun. For lunch I had a shrimp quesadilla- it was okay but not great. Not a lot of shrimp, one piece didn't have any shrimp at all. The rice was fine, a little on the dry side. I don't think we will be back again. read more

My friends and I visited El Azteca on Friday night. We went on the later side, so it wasn't crowded. My one friend and I got quesadillas; I got a chorizo one and he got crab- they were both delicious! My other friend got a chicken burrito and enjoyed it as well! El Azteca is a cute little joint not too far from the main strip in Rehoboth Beach. Also they have a statue of Snoop Dogg holding coronas. I loved it! read more

We ate here Wednesday night and enjoyed it. We had a larger group, but were still able to get seated immediately and without a reservation, which was nice. Most people in my group enjoyed their entrees. My uncle got the Hawaiian fajita with shrimp, which came in a pineapple and he very much liked it. My mom also liked her dinner. So did my fiancé, who got the Mexico special. My dad liked his food too. The only things I would say is their large guacamole has a little more tomatoes in it than some other guacamole's, so if someone isn't a big fan of tomatoes it's a good thing to know. I also probably would recommend their fajitas over my quesadilla as well. Overall though, it was a solid dinner. read more

Quick, efficient and friendly service with great food. The margaritas are great and potent. The taco salad, pollo asado, tacos, shrimp w peppers and the shrimp fajitas are all great. Very reasonably priced menu as well. Always a great experience. Muy bueno. read more

Was ecstatic to find a restaurant without a wait on a Friday night. It was lively inside and the waitress was attentive. Food was great in my opinion. I would have gave 5 stars but the margaritas were not the best in my opinion. I wound return to try more menu items :) read more

food and service is great but, whoa....they jacked up the margarita prices. insane $15 for a small margarita with a huge square ice block. Margarita served in a rocks glass... out of control way over priced read more

I've been to El Azteca over 50 times now. It really is my fave mexican restaurant. Came here again last night and we got the same 2 things we always order. Enchiladas Rancheras for me and the Mexico Special for my bf. Both are absolutely delish. Total comes to $30 for a dinner for 2. You can't beat it. Also they have the best salsa out of any mexican restaurant on planet earth. Easy parking and service is usually fast so you can be in and out if you want that (which we normally do). read more

Shout out to El Azteca for an amazing experience! We arrived as a very large group (note: they don't take reservations), and while there was a little confusion around the wait time, the owner went out of his way to accommodate us. He was incredibly kind and even offered us complimentary shots of their top-shelf margarita while we waited -- a classy and generous touch. Once we were seated, the service was exceptional, the food was absolutely incredible, and the prices were surprisingly great for the quality and portions. You can truly feel the pride and dedication in how this place is run. I wish more restaurants operated with the same heart, hustle, and work ethic. Highly recommend! read more

Ate here for dinner with wife around 715pm. Busy and limited tables, however because it was 2 of us we were seated right away. Restaurant is clean inside and out. Staff seemed limited. Parking lot is a little tight. There is a bar. The chips and salsa is brought right away. The salsa has a zesty and hearty flavor. Wife also ordered queso which was too thin and runny hut tasty. The food arrived hot/fresh. The portions were good and price was fair. Waitress was polite but very busy with other tables and didn't get the refills needed. And when we were finished it took a while to get the bill and check out. Overall we were here for 1 hour. read more

Meat was bad and made me ill. Bad service. With many other options out there, I'd suggest going anywhere else.

Not too long ago, we found ourselves in Rehoboth Beach and craving some Mexican, so we made our way to El Azteca for dinner. They have a pretty wide variety of options to choose from, including tacos, quesadillas, burritos and more. We started out with a couple of house margs which were huge! We also went with their steak fajitas and the chorizo tacos. The fajitas came with the usual fixins including rice, sour cream and LTO. I'm not sure what it is, but that sizzle of the skillet gets me every time. And while I think it's tough to mess up a taco, these ones were good and hit the spot as well. I feel like it can be tough to find good food when you go to the beach. Most places have a touristy vibe and the quality is lacking. But this is a great spot near the beach to get your Mexican fix! read more

Cons: The food was mid, I asked for no pico and I got pico. My brother asked for medium steak and it was rare, medium, and well done? I've never seen a streak be all three.

The service was great, but most of the dishes were just OK. The one thing I loved though was the 'Camarones a la Diabla' I would rate it 5 Stars! read more

Nice place on "the forgotten mile"offering classic Mexican fare. They have upped their game on margaritas and the refried beans, the latter now smoother with a ton of flavor. The guacamole is also smoother now and the table side guacamole carts are gone. Very generous portions and they added weekend brunch. On a recent trip, I had the Texas salad, and of the proteins, the shrimp were the best. The place gets a lot of families for the early dinner time, but it's easier to get a spot a bit later. read more

Located on the Forgotten Mile, as Tecca is a local small chain of three restaurants in the area, it is definitely worth checking out due to the quality and value! I wish they had a better location because in this stretch of road even though it's on Highway one it's just very quiet. But the service is great the food is great especially the Del Mar fajitas, the taco salad and the enchiladas. If you follow me you'll know that I judge Mexican restaurants by the refried beans and their salsa both here are excellent. I highly recommend. Edit. Tried the Texas salad. Portion looked small, but it wasn't. I asked to add onions. Great dish! read more

The worst "Mexican" food. I had better burritos in high school 40 years ago! I couldn't tell between the burrito or the enchilada I ordered. They were both the same, tortilla with hamburger with tomato sauce dumped on top. I couldn't eat it. Worse restaurant in Rehoboth and surrounding areas! read more

Very bad customer service, they charge higher prices Than what they have in the menu.

Delicious food, friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Would come back. Had crab & shrimp nachos, very good, heaps of crab and grilled shrimp. Also had the fajita nachos, gigantic with lots of chicken & grilled peppers & onions & cheese. Sampled one chicken tamale, it was good but kind of thick in some parts. Tasty non the less. Thanks the the pleasant experience read more

Stopped here for dinner. Service was super fast and great. Food came out quick and was fresh. Chicken and beer tacos were great. Azteca quesadilla was very good and flavorful with the peppers and onions. Dinner for two was $28. Very reasonable. Would return. read more

my entire family and I got food poisoning. tables were dirty, poor service, overall bad experience. the food was sub par tasted like people from canada trying to do their impression of what Mexican food was. On top of that my brother and I were throwing up a couple hours after our meal while the rest of my family had upset stomachs read more

We ate there on Saturday evening and once again everything was excellent! We had the Texas fajitas for two, chicken fajitas and a taco salad and it was all delicious! El Azteca has become a regular place to go everytime we are in town. read more

Returned again for another great dinner! Had another margarita and one of the quesadillas- steak and peppers and onions. Good service, reasonable prices, and popular with the locals too. Traditional decor, nothing too special. The food is what it's all about! It's on route 1 south in the "forgotten mile" before you get to Dewey Beach. read more

We decided to try this place last night, while visiting my parents. It was an extremely sub par experience, unfortunately... and we left before we even ordered dinner. It was not busy when we got there at 5:45, it was smoky upon walking in from poor venting or the kitchen, I assume... and we ordered a chicken & cheese quesadilla right away for my 18m old, and asked for some time to look over the menu. We finally ordered drinks, and I ordered a gin martini with a twist of lemon - and my dad ordered wine. He had no idea which gin they had at the bar (it's a Mexican restaurant and most people probably don't order gin, so that made sense). We asked if they could make the margaritas with just tequila, lime, agave and club (skinny) for my mom & husband, because there was no cocktail menu, and he wasn't sure ... we finally asked if they could make a "skinny" margarita, and he said "yes", but seemed unsure. The server came back and said that they didn't have any olives for my martini (which I didn't order...) - so, I told him to just bring me a water, since I didn't want olives and lemon in my martini ‍... and we asked some questions about food, which the server did not have answers for. The kids quesadilla came out VERY quickly, and was nothing but grease and broken (American) cheese all over the plate, and the fries were definitely frozen crinkle fries that had been defrosted. She ate the fries, but I couldn't. Ring myself to give her the grease on a plate. We opted to leave, between the horrific food delivery, the lack of knowledge of just about anything we asked, and the overall sub par environment of the restaurant. The margaritas were decent. I don't recommend this place, at all. read more

El Azteca (Rehoboth) My Say, My Way... 4-13-19 6:45PM Parking was easy, little strip right off Coastal Hwy. This is a large restaurant with modern decor, with a large bar stocked with around 50 different tequilas. I was alone so I chose to sit at the bar. Service was excellent! Anything I needed, I got in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered a Modelo draft, ice cold, perfect. I asked about the Julio Real, and they do it at $30 a shot here. The other tequilas were reasonably priced as well. I went with a shot of Real after dinner for desert. Chips & Salsa!!! Chips...warm with a soft crisp, solid chip. Salsa...pureed hard, love the balance of the ingredients, with just enough cilantro to keep me happy. I could drink this stuff... I ordered the verde enchiladas: 3 rolled corn tortillas with chicken inside, verde sauce and melted cheese on top, lettuce, and sour cream. Served with a side of rice. I also got refried beans. The enchiladas cut easily with a fork. The chicken was tasty, tender, and delicious! The verde sauce had a little tang to it, but when you used the lettuce and sour cream....amazing combo! Beans...light, creamy texture, some of the best in the buisness. Rice...soft, fluffy, not dry at all, solid rice game. I ordered a chicken tamale with red sauce, and melted cheese on top. I was scared at first because it looked like many that I haven't liked. Forget about that!!! This was a really good tamle. The masa was soft and warm with no sign of dry. The chicken was again moist and delicious, and the sauce/cheese combo wasn't overpowering. This was something I'll get every time I go. One of the best I've had during this journey. I ordered tacos choosing chorizo, carnitas, and steak. Chorizo...good char, excellent flavor, and they were loaded with meat. The tortillas were solid, not my fav, but a good upper middle of the road. Carnitas...off the charts, right there with Chabelita and TM Burriro. The meat was tender, juicy, and had a crisp to the outside. I love me some good carnitas! Steak...marinated and seasoned to perfection, juicy, no salsa needed for any of these tacos. read more

Came here after the beach for a nice place to eat and were pleasantly greeted by just that! Staff was very friendly and service very fast. Granted, there weren't very many customers being the end of the beach season. The restaurant was clean, good atmosphere, and the bathroom impeccable! I MUST congratulate this business for being one of very few places I've been to that actually knows how to mount toilet paper!!! Thank you for putting it higher within reach and not on the floor! The food was your typical real Mexican food. Very tasty and good portion size for the Burritos Mexicanos and the Grande Special. We also had the Margarita Flights which were very strong for a restaurant. Usually alcohol gets watered down, but not here! Prices were also reasonable for what you get. Sorry for no pictures, I always forget to take them BEFORE we eat the food. read more
