Stoped here doing work out of town, but couldn’t leave without saying how amazing this place is. Served immediately, not pestered. Just a perfect vibe. Raul was my server, and he was amazing. He recommended the perfect drink for my evening, and got my stuff in almost seconds. Hands down best service of the year. Go here if you wanna eat well and be taken care of.

The food and drinks were good. The service was fast and polite. I enjoyed my first visit a lot. I do think the salsa could be upgraded, but everything else was great.

I have been going to el Azteca approximately 2-3 times a month for the last 2.5 years, and I can say without a doubt, this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the entire Midwest.
Food: El Azteca has the best chipotle sauce I’ve ever had a Mexican restaurant, nowhere else compares. Since I started going there, I now try the chipotle sauce dishes at all other Mexican restaurants and El Azteca has yet to be beaten. My favorite dishes there are the Chaca’s burrito, the chipotle quesadilla with chicken, or the pollo al chipotle (pictured). My partner always gets a cheese quesadilla with rice, with a side of queso (pictured), which never disappoints her as well. Some of the combination plates I have tried do remind me of a standard Mexican restaurant, their speciality offerings bring them up to a 5 star experience. Their lime jumbo margaritas are very good as well!
Price: very reasonable. I think the current prices for regular entrees are about 10-15 per plate. The order of a cheese quesadilla with rice is like $6.
Service: the service here is always fantastic. While the restaurant can at times be packed, I have never had to wait long to be seated, and have always been waited on right away. Their food is always FAST and PIPING HOT. They also can get food to you in record time. Sometimes, the meals are out in less than five minutes. It is not uncommon for other waiters/waitresses to come over and refill drinks, etc, so you feel taken care of.
Atmosphere: this is by far the cleanest Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Seriously, at least from what I can see, they run a tight ship. It is honestly hard to go to other restaurants because it is clear that they take cleanliness seriously. The ambiance of the restaurant is not over the top, it’s very standard fair.

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants and restaurants in general. All the food is always fresh, well seasoned and hot ! Fresh chips and salsa are provided, which is a must-have. The chicken fajitas are my go-to dish. Portion sizes are good and prices are reasonable. This is a great place for a date night or just dinner and margaritas with friends. I’ve been several times and will continue to go regularly in the future. They also offer carryout and it’s always very fast!
Don’t sleep on these margaritas! And the chips and salsa are fire Try the green salsa!
