Great food as always...but where's the liveliness? Not saying the staff were like zombies. But the atmosphere just felt low. The servers were nice...but music was not playing and all I heard were the multiple games on the TV. Ordered a margarita and a mojito. Dad said the margarita was good, and my mojito was just right! For food; Pollo Ala Crema! Perfect. Chicken cooked and tender, mushrooms were good, and rice and beans were great. 1 plate. Burrito with ground beef. No complaints there. Blanco Burrito plate...no complaints there either. Salsa and chips were on point as usual. Crispy and crunchy. I had to get a side of jalapeños cause I need that heat baby! The place appeared clean and neat. No sticky stuff. No smelly stuff. Bathroom was clean and good. I remember coming here with my parents some years ago and we had a blast cause it felt like a party going on. Sad to see it in a feeling of gloom... But I'll still go back because I love this spot.

After much deliberation, I recently chose Azteca to satisfy a Mexican food craving. I ordered Tacos Al Carbon with adobo chicken. The chicken pieces were tender, tasty, and good quality. The tortillas were very barely dipped in sauce, so they could've been more flavorful. I also wished there was more garnish; I loved the taco I ate with the pinch of ice burg lettuce sitting under the pico, but didn't have enough to enjoy the other two tacos the same way. Azteca's beans and rice are very yummy, and better than many other local places. That alone earns them a star! This review is based on a delivery order, so I can't speak to service or ambiance. I will note that the packaging was thoughtful and done with care, which is not something I can usually say about delivery orders. While I only ordered one dish, it was good enough that I'm looking forward to trying Azteca again to try others.

heads up! Huevos Rancheros is not on the menu, but you can order it off-menu. this location is my favorite. i haven't been here since the lock-down in 2020. and i'd forgotten how good the food is here. the chile verde and the huevos rancheros were just a delcious as i remembered. the pork in the chile verde was tender and not dry. the sauce had a slight kick to it. the eggs for the huevos rancheros were properly cooked to be soft yolk. the rice is well seasoned and not gloppy, and the refried beans are not mushy. love their salsa! it has a medium spicy kick to it, but it's not over-whelming. the restaurant was busy on sunday afternoon but service was attentive and efficient. although she was not the designated waiter for our table, Angelica checked on us frequently and was pleasant and upbeat. i will definitely ask for her table the next visit. time to go back and try my other favorites: chile relleno, sopa de azteca, chile colorada, enchiladas a la crema.
