I went in on a Wednesday evening after 7pm. This place is a small, casual eatery with a full bar…read more The ambiance is casual, so dress however you like. They have all types of appealing specials including happy hour drink prices after 8pm. To eat we started with the guacamole: it was fresh and I could tell that the chips were fresh as well. For dinner, I had the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. My entree was delicious and it was served nice and hot. The rice and beans had great flavor, but I wish my enchiladas were a little heftier. To drink I tried the classic mojito and a classic margarita. Both drinks were blended well, tasty, and strong. There were also people coming in just for drinks which speaks to the quality of the libations that this place has to offer. The service was also great. Our server was kind, attentive, and bilingual. I'd definitely go back.

"Perfect for sharing!"…read more We had a great delivery experience yesterday! We shared the "Bistec a la Tampiquena" plate, and it was plenty for two people. The Sirloin was cooked exactly as I requested--well-done but still very juicy and flavorful. Everything tasted like a traditional Mexican home-cooked meal, though the green enchilada had a fantastic Tex-Mex vibe that really stood out. Even the rice and beans were wonderful. To top it off, the staff was so helpful and kind when I called in the order. I'm definitely a returning customer now!

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Alllllll of the food was EXCELLENT and FRESH!!! ++++ Complimentary Tortilla Chips and Salsa - Pretty good for free chips and salsa, especially the salsa, which wasn't watery, like other restaurants. ++++ Parrilla Mixta - Sizzzzzling platter of skirt steak, shrimp, chorizo, chicken and fajita veggies smelled sooooo freakin' good ... and, of course, allll of it was phenomenal. Came with a side of delicious yellow rice and refried beans. ++++ Pancho Villa Platter - Neatly arranged skirt steak, 2 flautas and a salmon tostada on a bed of plain salad. Loved this as well. Everything in here was flavorful and delicious (minus the plain salad). This also came with a side of yellow rice and refried beans. ++++ Chicken Quesadilla - Huge and solid quesadilla. Our kids gobbled this up. ++++ Mango Lemonade and Strawberry Lemonade were refreshing. + Decent size restaurant with 9 tables that can each seat 4 guests. Each table is nicely spaced out. + Authentic atmosphere with Mexican music playing, but not too loud, and Mexican art on the walls. + Service was fantastic all evening for our meal. ++++ Friendly waiters. Accommodated all of our requests. ++++ Food came out very quickly. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Unfortunately, parking can be tough on the block because you can only park across the street, so you'll probably have to look around the corners of the block. - Automatic 20% gratuity on all bills. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came here on a Saturday evening from 6-7:30 PM. Was relatively quiet when we arrived, but soon became pretty busy, to the point no tables were available.

Service has been nothing but kind, helpful, and attentive every time we've gone. On our last visit, we were jonesing for happy hour and asked for the drink menu, only to discover they don't serve alcohol but they're BYOB. "And there's a wine and liquor store only two blocks away," our smiling server whispered conspiratorially. It was a genius idea. While we waited on our order, my husband jetted out for a 6-pack of Modelos and got back just as our chicken salad was being set down on the table. We asked for it to be timed as an appetizer, and I'd say the serving size might be closer to an appetizer than an entree. But the chicken pieces were well-marinated and delicious, making the salad a meaty entry point into our shared steak fajitas. These fajitas are a winner winner chicken - er, steak - dinner. Since we got it done medium well (my preferred doneness - feel free to judge me for it), I was worried about the steak being tough but these were tender enough for both my husband and I to emit a simultaneous "wow" at first bites. The sauce on them was also incredible, so much that we asked our server about it when he checked on us mid-meal. He crossed his heart and demurred, "It's a secret, so I can't really tell you," but when we pressed for more information, he admitted the main base was "lots of tomatoes". Well, whatever's in that magic sauce was good enough for us to drag our spoons against the near-empty fajita plate, trying to get every last drop of it. My husband and I have visited twice now, and our order has ranged from good to excellent (with those steak fajitas being the high winner thus far). There are a few parking spots in the front lot but being that this is in a quiet, residential area, there's plenty of parking to be found on the side streets if necessary.

Without us asking, the staff noticed and asked if it is ok to warm up the place. That really helped enhance the dining experience. Now the food, we shared the chicken fajita and the enchilada mi bandiera. The chicken fajita was so tasty, the chicken is made w chicken thigh. Some might not like that. We enjoyed it tremendously. The chicken and the veggies were very flavorful and grilled perfectly. They were a little stingy w only 3 tortillas but it's ok. The enchilada was also good. Good flavor but it was Luke warm. Would've been better if it was hotter. I very much enjoyed the home made hot sauce and their signature mole sauce. A good dining experience. Left satiated.

Second time here and it didn't disappoint…read more Great service as soon as you walk in. We were seated quickly and it was happy hour. Their birria tacos were really good. The chipotle sauce from the empanadas was tasty. The steak quesadilla was a good portion. The margs were nice and strong. Loved the ambiance, lots of seating available including at the bar.

I went to Mexcal Tequila Bar for Cinco de Mayo and it was a letdown. While it wasn't explicitly…read moreadvertised as Taco Tuesday, the promotion made it seem like there would be something special for the occasion, but there wasn't a single food or drink special. Based on past years and just general expectations for Cinco de Mayo, you'd expect at least some drink deals or themed offerings. The flyer is vague and ends up being misleading, it gets you in the door, but once you're seated, there's nothing different from a regular day. At minimum, there should have been some kind of special to match the holiday. This didn't live up to the expectations they set.

Chicken empanadas were baked and so yummy, 3 standard size so no minis as an appetizer. Food was flavorful and filling, enough that we needed to take home.

There was a service charge included in the bill so please read your receipt. We were a party of 2. Good spot I'd come again

So I decided to drive all the way to Hackensack. The girl at the front counter was sweet and answered a couple of my questions before I decided to get the steak bowl with no beans, a birria taco, a watermelon agua fresca and a side of chips. The taco was good, nice kick to it and the tortilla was nicely crisped. The drink was super refreshing and not overly sweet. The bowl was good but something was off on the flavor, couldn't put my finger on it. Was not a fan of the rice, and I see other views note the same. Food came out hot and fast, additional sauce on the counter too. Maybe I'll try the Paterson location again because they have a fish option that Hackensack does not have.

El Azteca. The Aztec. A civilization which rose to and held power for centuries. Their leadership,…read morein some indirect fashion, has led to the craftsmanship of El Azteca - A slight chain of Mexican restaurants in a 30 min radius of Bergen County. I will copy and paste this review across the Park Ridge and Mahwah locations so emphasize my appreciate for their consistency in providing great Mexican food. If you are consistently performing, Linguini will take care of you. Like I've taken care of many others. I will bring you to the top with me. If you backstab me. Oh if you come for me at the top, you will reach an abyss so deep you may end up digging to China. Don't test me. I'm not that guy. Anyways, I've tried a lot from Azteca. Most of what they've got is a 4/4.5 out of 5 but I'm rounding up for the full experience. Phenomenal price point. Variety of food that all comes out well. Performs well in restaurant and when the food travels. Friendly staff. And local business of which I support. I suffer from GGS - Good Guy Syndrome, sorry not sorry. My motha, bless her soul. I legit mean bless her soul. Be nice. Pray. Bow down to her. She doesn't eat much food but she even loved the taco salad here so much that she asked to go again. So much protein, so well seasoned. Just as their other options showcase as well. My personal favs are the Kash Burrito and the, what I'd call "trademark" Cod Burrito. Never have seen it elsewhere like this. The wrap is toasted wonderfully, great rice, great salsa. I mean this place just does it real well. I've had tacos, appetizers, desserts. Never let down. El Azteca is consistently good. Constantly pushing out quality product. Is it the best Mexican I've had? No. But it's the most underrated. Being a consistent 4, makes you a five in my books. It's like that girl that's occasionally a 6 or occasionally an 9... you can't bring her home. But that girl that's consistently a 7 or an 8? You let her meet the fam. I don't where I'm going with this one. All I'll say is STOP. Stop going to Chipotle, Bubbakoo's, etc. when you could be supporting a better quality and friendlier priced location in El Azteca. Thank you in advance. I will be watching - LB.
