This is the food spot we eat at the most hands down. At least 2-4 times a month. I love the food. Their Tinga is sooo good. I ordered a side of their rice the other day (because I love it in my burritos) and oh my gosh that was amazing. But the staff don't even fill up my cup full of rice . It was only like 80% full. Felt like I got ripped off a bit, for the cost. I also really wish they would look into adding more menu options. We need queso here, I bet they could make an amazing queso. I also wish they had a salsa specifically for chips. Their sauces/salsas are great, but only on food. Not great with chips. Overall - still great. Go eat here. Service is slower than before. Prices have gone up. Wish they had queso and a salsa for chips specifically. Wish I got a full cup of rice when I order a side of rice, considering how expensive the rice is.

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!

The prices are definitely high, but I suppose it's expensive to operate a food truck and get the bills paid. I also wish they posted earlier in the day regarding where they will be, like around noon.

I had so-so birria tacos (no consomme, single soft-corn tortilla) and so-so horchata (served in a sealed bag that looks like an IV pouch, actually kind of funny), along with a tasty and particularly juicy elote. My friend got the Asada Mulita and he quite enjoyed it. That seemed like a good deal for $9, and $4.90 per taco for what I got is okay. The ambiance absolutely does not rise above what you would expect from an unremarkable, utilitarian convenience store with a few tables that aren't routinely wiped down. You can order online (highly recommended) or from a screen near their covered-up window. Whenever a food place is clearly hiding its employees from its customers, I'm nervous that I will be ignored. But someone was constantly popping out and asking people what their names were, and telling them how many minutes they can expect to wait. (Waiting = standing next to the salty snacks shelves.) I see now that they have Al Pastor Chicken with Pineapple Pico and I definitely want to come back and try that. Maybe I'll raise my rating if I love it. Meanwhile, I'd recommend considering this at least for the experience, but order ahead and expect a 30-minute wait. Also note that they close at 7pm.

On this occasion got the chicken al pastor and shrimp tacos. We also got an order of guac and chips to share. El sazón, we will be back. Thank you for continuing to deliver wonderful food.

Love it) -guacamole (always so fresh and delicious) Take it or leave it: -el pastor taco (good but I prefer birria or shrimp over this) -chips (not my fave chips-a bit over salted/greasy but the guac is so good you barely notice).

I ordered a burrito bowl and a burrito at 5:30PM on a Thursday. When I walked in there were 3…read moreemployees and no customers. The chicken and cheese containers were very near empty and it looked like the food was what was leftover from their lunch. I ordered anyway and hoped it would be more warm and fresh than it looked. I ordered double chicken on both meals and only asked for extra chicken after they put the normal 2 scoops for a single serving. When they added the extra chicken they added 1 small scoop, not even close to double. The cheese: they had to scape the bottom of the metal container and could barely even get 1 scoop for each meal. I asked for more and was provided another half scoop on each meal. Ordered sour cream on the side because I wasn't sure I wanted it in my food. CHECK OUT TIME: Charged for double chicken. Charged for sour cream on the side instead of in the meal. Charged for extra cheese. The guy at the register was rude and would only remove the extra cheese charge and said next time it will be extra $$. Extra money for cheese??? My Burrito was literally nothing but chicken, rice, cheese, and salsa. Never 1 single time have I had to ask for extra cheese at other Pancheros. Maybe fill your containers so you don't have to scrape for a scoop of cheese? The WORST part: Got home (3.5 miles away) and was eating 10 minutes after walking out of Pancheros door. Both of our meals were mostly cold. The rice wasn't even warm. The chicken wasn't cold, but wasn't warm either. Both meals were like eating it after it had been sitting for at least 30 minutes. I assume the rice and chicken were just sitting around for too long in Panchero's serving containers or they didn't have their warming station set correctly. Never have I had this problem before at other Pancheros, or Chipotle, or Qdoba. I won't be back to Apple Valley Pancheros.

Every now and then, the heater bins behind the counter look a little... shall we say... end-of-days? Like the food's been sitting there contemplating the meaning of life for a bit too long.

And occasionally the staff looks a lottle (yes, that's a little but a LOT) unprofessional (colored hair and nose rings), but most of the time you can look right past these things because the food is good.

Went to El Azteca on Mother's Day 2026. There was eight of us, it was after church/late lunch, so…read morewe kind of expected to wait. Roughly 40 minutes later we were seated. They give you appetizers of chips, red salsa, and some kind of mayonnaise based dip. Beware because it'll get you gluttonous very quickly. All in all - it's what you expected for a Mexican restaurant. The food was quick, hot, and the service was kind and prompt enough to a bunch of gringos. A nitpick - the women's bathroom had 1 of 2 stalls out and seemed to need attention, hope they get that fixed. My only complaint was for two fajita platters, a nacho supreme, one tea, and one Sprite, and one bowl of guacamole and queso came to $120 after tax. Seems steep to me? (Hence four stars) At least the food didn't suck, which would I have made it sting. Try them out!

They bring out chips with both salsa and that addictive white sauce they have (I still don't fully know what it is but it's good every single time). I got fajitas and of course dumped queso all over them because that's the correct life choice. The tortillas were hot and fresh, the meat quality was really good, and everything tasted super solid. Only thing is the fajitas didn't come out sizzling like they do at some places, but honestly I think half of that is just restaurant theatrics anyway. Food still tasted great. I completely forgot to take pictures of everyone else's food because we were all hungry, but my nephew absolutely inhaled his chimichanga, so I'm taking that as a glowing review from him too. Overall it feels a little different from a lot of Mexican restaurants in a good way and I'd definitely go back. Decor is fine its decorated as you expect maybe less random.
