The best Mexican food in Raleigh! Unique from other places around, it has a much fancier vibe and more upscale food but still at very reasonable prices. The food leans into some traditional Aztec fare and offers some unique items.
The service is outstanding, especially our waitress Ginny. They also have delicious drinks and solid bartenders with great drink specials.
Cannot recommend this place enough!

I heard this place had opened, so we stopped by this past weekend to try it out. Very cute spot — in the location that was formerly Oak City Meatball Shoppe.
Very reasonable cocktail prices, we sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. The Michelada was refreshing and the Santo Pecador was bright and spicy.
We were blown away by the Trenza de Arrachera Mazahua, the meat was so tender and seasoned. It also had this salsa/sofrito(?) on top that was amazing. The fish tacos were fine – they give you lots of fish, and it was well seasoned, but they needed a bit more cabbage as they were lacking a bit of texture. The side of soup was gigantic and so flavorful, ended up enjoying that more than the tacos.
We will definitely be back!

Food was delicious! Authentic, everything from the appetizers to mains were on point. Pico is made in-house. Spicy steak had a perfect level heat. You will not be disappointed. Staff was top shelf, Danielle (server / mixologist) makes 5 * star drinks. Hidden gem

We came here in the summer and now we celebrated my moms 80th birthday. The staff was nice. The food is really good. Being able to try some authentic plates made with so much carefulness and detail, you almost don’t want to eat it. Our party had steak, shrimp, salmon, enchiladas and all was great! Give them a try!!

A quiet event-less Christmas Eve in Raleigh was saved by the wonderful team at Mazahua Azteca! Their recommended cactus appetizer was delicious, a unique experience alongside a solid serving of standard birria and fajitas. Some of the best house Chips I’ve ever had

Danielle was my server. Coincidence landed me here on Taco Tuesday. So I started out with the house Margarita and three tacos al pastor and they were awesome. Danielle suggested steak tacos and they arrived sizzling and then became delicious!!! I was in town one nite, and I nailed it by coming here!

A Sunday night and we were the only ones in the restaurant. It has a simple cozy decor and the location I think is terrific – in the midst of all of downtown. My drink was delicious and my vegetarian enchiladas were very flavorful. Tasty refried beans and the queso and guacamole were good. A really nice portion so I’ll easily get two meals out of it. Mine had the red sauce and my daughter got chicken enchilada with verde sauce. I will return.

Okay so here’s my personal experience here.
We came in at 8:50PM on a Monday and they welcomed us well since they close at 10:00PM.
1. Servers were nice and smiley, gave us water, gave my baby some coloring materials but also that night they asked us more or less 20 times “How’s the food?” and that was borderline annoying honestly (for the lack of a better term).
2. The complimentary corn dish was okay. Not too rich with flavor. Just seasoned enough.
3. When the female server recommended some dish to us, she leaned half of her body on the small table, (like both forearms folded, leaned and occupied 1/4 of the table) and i just felt she got too comfortable that time. I asked what comes with the braided steak and she said “I don’t know” but “that was her recommendation”. ♀️ She did not go to the back to confirm either. We ended up ordering a repetitive side that’s similar with what already came with the breaded steak. lol.
We also ordered the Traditional Guacamole (her recommendation again) and it “never came”. Towards the end of our meal and after some long patience, I asked her where was it since we did say we would like one, after some exchange, instead of saying they forgot she said, “Oh, I didn’t put it on since I wasn’t sure if you wanted it.” (She could have confirmed with us, just like how they asked us 20 times how was the food.) But we ended up not having it since we just wanted to go.
After asking for the check, she showed the receipt and told us “I voided the Traditional Guacamole on the receipt”. (Uhmmm.. I thought she said she’s never put it on? Why was it voided if it wasn’t there on the very first place?)
4. The braided steak was served cold and chewy. The sides were warmer. Steak was seasoned but that was a very sad steak. We never had the heart to say anything more about it. We just wanted to finish the rubbery meat and sides so we don’t waste 28usd (entire order was 58usd) and so we can get some gelato across the street.
5. The tamarind margarita was tasty and had good amount of spice.
We are not going back sadly.

Amazing place, would recommend! Came the day after the storm since the sidewalks got shoveled and it was one of the few places open. Our server Matia was great, and very helpful with suggestions, and even brought us an appetizer on the house. He recommended the in house coffee which was delicious, and was kind enough to get me some to go on my way out. Great food, great service. Will have to visit again!

What a great addition to downtown Raleigh. I stopped in for lunch and had a fantastic meal. The lunch specials are under $10 and the portions are huge. I can’t wait to come back.
