Nice place and the food tastes pretty good, but the guy in the front that takes your order is the most rude person ever

The drinks arrived an hour later and the food was cold and to make matters worse the waiter stopped us and said we had to leave him a tip, a total disaster.

I have been to this restaurant before but it has been a while. The restaurant has moved to a bigger place and the inside is cozy and a great place to gather with family, friends or a date.

Parking: There is street paid parking. It's not expensive. May need to walk. There are also parking lots nearby.

Kid-friendliness: While I was in the restaurant I saw children. There was an area with small toys and books they could look at while waiting.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are 2 levels. I didn't see an elevator but the first level is wide enough for a wheelchair and the tables are just right for a wheelchair.

This place is great. If I was still dating it would be my main date place. It's a restaurant with really good food, really well made drinks, AND it's a bookstore!I had: Mole & House MargaritaWife had: "Quesadillas & Milk Shake.We had the guacamole. It was all great.

Missed this place since they moved. The food is always great and the owners are the most humble and kindest people. Our meal was great starting with a Tazo magaritta, highly recommend. I had the special Puerco and camarones in a jalepeno salsa with onion mushroom and cactus with rice and beans on the side. The coolest thing is that if we wanted any meal from the original restaurant they would make it for us. Who does that?♥️ If you haven’t been you should go treat yourself it is worth it

Food is outstanding…margaritas are excellent. Everything is fresh and delicious. If you want Mexican food, I would highly recommend this place & try the Hibiscus margarita!

Forgot to put sauces (the entire reason I ordered the menu items I chose) in the bag, refused to fix it with the excuse of being short staffed. The sauces are quite good, but the Don Vasco sandwich and Tostones are quite dry and unappetizing without the sauce, which makes this experience extremely disappointing. I would not recommend anybody order delivery from Azteca. They didn’t even offer the ability to come pick up the sauces myself! This was an extremely disappointing experience.Edit: a delivery driver came to my house an hour after I called with the sauce. While I appreciate the gesture, I would have appreciated more a heads up that they were coming— especially since on the phone they told me there was nothing they can do because they were short staffed! I would have saved my food (and not posted this review) if they had just simply told me they were coming! I simply cannot understand why they chose to do this the way they did. Now I have the sauce. I guess I will find something to eat with it.Edit 2: unfortunately, Google Reviews does not let me respond to responses. I appreciate the apology, but I just don’t understand why you didn’t call back and let me know that you were coming! It wouldn’t have been a big deal at all.
