    Clean dining area

    This unsuspecting restaurant delivers. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's what is inside that counts (and in my tummy). Yummy food! This is my second time eating here. I have been having a hard time finding authentic Mexican food in Michigan. This is pretty darn close! We had tacos, tostadas, enchiladas and fajitas. All very good. Big huge servings and kind, pleasant staff. Staff all wearing masks properly. I gave it 4 out 5 because it could be a bit more spicy, but for others, the heat level might be perfect.

    LeRoy Katie And Caitlin D.

    LeRoy: I ordered the taco salad with chicken against my better judgement because I like the regular taco salad. I was confirmed that I was wrong-it was not a very good salad. I enjoyed the fellowship of my two associates. Katie: I got the fajita dinner and was slightly disappointed. The size of the fajitas was about a quarter of the plate, while the beans took up about half the plate. The waitress was kind and the chips were very fresh and warm. Caitlin: She will be out of town for the next few weeks, so each week we will have a special guest representing her. This week is Mackenzie and her review is below. Mackenzie: It was very difficult to get water refills. The atmosphere was pleasant. The Mexi-skins (aka potato skins) were average.

    I tried La Azteca Taco House for the first time and went all out with a big carryout order to…read moreshare. Everything turned out phenomenal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and hit all the right notes with that authentic Mexican taste you don't always find. Portions were huge, so we had plenty left over, and the prices felt more than fair. The staff was super friendly, got the order ready fast, and the place has that classic, no frills neighborhood feel I like. I'm not even from Flint but I'll definitely be stopping back every time I'm in the area. Solid spot, highly recommend if you're craving good Mexican. Will be a repeat customer for sure!

    Grabbed a take out order late (paid online), arrived to no cars in lot and a locked door…read more Worker called me and told me they were open & had my food after I left, I came back and the door was still locked. Had to wait for it to be opened. Food was supposed to be a steak "burrito" and a chicken quesadilla. Picture attached is chicken quesadilla untouched (how it came) and the steak "burrito" came with lose pieces of steak, raw pepper, lots of orange orange cheese and no onions. Nothing else on the hard and cold flour tortillas. Chicken quesadilla cheese so orange and synthetic looking, didn't even try it. Disappointed and will not be back. No where even close to eutheti

    Home-style Mexican food!…read more This is good, authentic Mexican food, made with love and infused with a little bit of flair. It's so nice to have good Mexican food at the Flint Farmer's Market. Their chips are homemade and the salsa is awesome. Vegetarian loaded nachos are ridiculously good, made to order, with super fresh ingredients. Whichever veggies you want on your nachos, you'll get and whichever ones you don't want, they'll leave off for you. The tortilla chips are a bit greasy, but not overly so. It's not like you'll double over in GI distress afterwards! Besides, I like my chips a little oily, with just the right amount of salt. These aren't of the dry and flat ilk, but have a little zest to them instead. They also sell my husband's favorite line of seltzer water, which he can't find anywhere else around town, so that's a big plus in my book. He's always going on about that specific type of seltzer water, so even if I'm not stopping in for food, I still need to grab some of that seltzer water just to appease him. The price is right, too, with two people easily dining together for just $10. There's also a small line of grocery items, featuring rices, seasonings, spices, tortilla chips, salsa, and more available as well, with decent prices on most everything.

    Really good homemade Mexican food at the farmer's market. They make delicious tacos with very fresh…read moreveggies, including radishes! Honestly, I don't think I've ever had a taco with radishes before and it seems an unlikely choice for a taco, but it was surprisingly good . Their loaded nachos are very tasty and the chips have the right balance of oil and salt, without being either too much or not quite enough. Very affordable prices and extremely good service. I will be back!
