Lots of travel these past weeks. This place did not disappoint. The chips are spectacular in the salsa is on point.
Of the 2 El Azteco restaurants in the area, t is one has better food and service. The East Lansing location has a better view, but for the food, this one is clearly superior.

I haven't been there for 20 years. Anna was a treat. I thought she was the owner. Got a Topopo. Haven't been there in 20 years. Again. 😠 Not the same. Get a margarita menu. Apparently that's a thing now. I remember when you had just had garbage margaritas or top shelf. I ordered the orange juice ones by accident but Anna 👏👏 let me take the remainder home to mix with my seltzers 👏👏. I'm still going back, but there's going to be questions
