The food was horrible, the red pozole and green pozole were the worst ever. The water was the best serve on an empty tequila and very cold. I will never go back.

If I could leave no stars I would. The service and the coke were the highlight in the experience at this spot. Worst posole red and green ever tasted.

An underrated hidden gem in the heart of Pilsen. The food is always fresh and full of layered flavors. Contemporary Mexican fare with perfectly portioned dishes—both hearty and lighter options—plus an impressive tequila selection. They also offer great vegan choices. I’ve been coming here for over two years, and it’s still as exceptional as ever. It’s a high-end diner that could thrive anywhere, yet it feels perfectly at home right here in Pilsen. I truly applaud the owners for what they’ve created.

Great spot! The food was delicious and affordable. We got a carne asada burrito, piña colada margarita, and horchata—all so good. Staff were super friendly and the service was quick. Definitely recommend!

Please give this place a try, they're doing some high level culinary work that really sets them apart from many restaurants in the neighborhood.

I can't get enough of their tortillas. I would eat them by themselves and be perfectly happy honestly. Everything is so good; super sophisticated flavors in a really welcoming/comfortable setting. The coca cola tacos live up to the hype.

El Taco Azteca in Pilsen is a solid spot for flavorful Mexican eats with a modern twist. I stopped by for dinner and spent around $25. I tried their al pastor tacos on blue corn tortillas, which were juicy and packed with flavor. The guacamole with ribeye was a standout—rich, smoky, and topped with grilled panela cheese. The atmosphere is chill, and the staff is friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

So I’ve been here before and tacos were amazing and everything was amazing I finally decided to come back today and not sure what happened or why they sadly disappointed me today I did order a octopus guacamole and it was 8.5/10 the position was just so small for the price. I then ordered a margarita and it was delicious solid 9/10.
I then ordered some Coca-Cola Tacos Hoping to get that same portion/flavor as before and they disappointed me this time I tasted more salad than meat and I promise you this wasn’t the same tacos as last time it was not good to say the least giving that a 6/10 had some flavor just not what it should be. I then ordered the michelada Tacos and they were actually good I won’t lie they did good solid 8/10 could’ve been better and not disappointed with those.

To say the least hopefully they can go back to serving the same Coca-Cola tacos as before and slightly lower pricing on some of the items giving this place a solid 6.8/10
