Bad experience, food took over 45mins to get delivered. (Used Uber Eats- Driver had to wait an extra 15mins to get the food) Food arrived cold, after driver said they barely handed it to him. I ordered the loaded waffle fries, paid extra money to get pico de gallo, there wasn’t avocado, no queso. They added sour cream after I asked for it on the side . Their rice is bland , cilantro drizzled on top doesn’t change the taste. Tortillas on the tacos were cold. Al pastor tastes watered down , I’ll give them credit their horchata was the only good thing.

I like restaurants where the person who owns the place is behind the counter. Or blowing leaves off the sidewalk. Or waiting tables. Or all three. Aztec Dave’s salsas are all house-made and one flavor rotates out weekly. Chips are made in-house. The tacos are do well-seasoned they need nothing added before feasting on them. This place is a new favorite.

Literally the best nachos I've had. Also great margaritas.Edit: felt the need to update 9 months later. Nachos are still the best. Margaritas are also still great and the horchata.

First time checking this place out yesterday after hearing great things. This place does not disappoint! The servers/bartenders are amazingly attentive, efficient, and kind. The music is on point and the food is incredible- authentic and cooked to perfection. So glad I found a new go-to spot!

Great food!!! Delicious Tacos!! Fancy Drinks!!First tasted the tacos, al pastor, from their food truck at a Lincoln Park Zoo’s special event. That led me back to the restaurant for a feel good experience.Staff is great!! Funny and easy going, yet fast and attentive.If you’re tired of the same old stuff…. Make a trip to Aztec Dave’s, you deserve it.

This was my first time here, and the food was absolutely amazing. Had a real nice old-school taste to it. You can tell it is homemade. Margaritas were delicious and FRESH. I will be coming back Ramon was very sweet.

This place is a hidden gem! The food was so yummy I didn't get a chance to capture a photo before eating but on my second visit, I remembered. The food is so good and the staff are super friendly! I love their quesadillas because they are smaller and perfect for if you want to try a few different ones or just want something small by itself or to pair with one of their delicious tacos. The shrimp taco is so good!Also, they have tv's so if you want to catch a game while you eat amazing food, this is a great spot to consider. I love the decor of the place as well. This is one of my new favorite spots in the neighborhood.
