Bueno! 10/21/2010

El Azteca is awesome! The food is great; not too salty, very authentic. They have the best Mole sauce around. The vegetarian section of the menu is much larger then other Mexican restaurants in the area. The pricing is extremely reasonable. The service is great and fast and they don't have hidden charges like other Mexican restaurants in the area (ahem, Mexican Food Factory anyone?). They have awesome lunch items too! more

Time to get real. 2/21/2010

This is the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. In my youth, I was a trained cook by trade, and I can tell you all food I have ever been served in this restaurant has been freshly made. This had been a place I have brought family and friends for years, and everyone I've ever brought has been as impressed as I have been. I have seen the little boy, but I haven't ever seen him misbehaving or disturbing guests. Many of these reviews seem filled with fictitious malice. My father is getting gastric bypass surgery in three days, and this is where I'm taking him for our final ""normal"" dinner out. Need I say more? Pros: Good, consistant service, great food, good value. Cons: I have never had a negitive experience worth mentioning. more

Good food and service 1/4/2010

Food was good (not as salty as one might expect). Service was good, portions were generous and price was very reasonable. Definitely more authentic and tasty compared to Don Pablos or On the Border. Only negative was little boy bouncing basketball up and down the isles (family owned and operated) more

Best Mexican in town 9/24/2009

This is surely the best mexican place around here. I eat here at least once a week for lunch. So much more authentic than On the Border. And great, friendly service. Pros: Good food, good service Cons: sometimes gets crowded more

Go to ""On the Border""?! 5/23/2009

R U Kidding - Who wrote go to ""On the Border""? That is NOT Mexican and it is terrible, pre-frozen, microwaved, over-rated, etc more

Authentic Mexican?? Hardly!! 7/31/2008

In the area from Southern Cal.(where Mexican food actually has taste) my family was hungry and El Azteca was nearby. My wife warned me that we couldn't expect much from a Mexican restaurant in NJ. Next time I'll listen to the wife. Salsa tasted like tangy pasta sauce. Waitress determined our Cokes from our root beers by employing the sniff test ""This one is Coke."" Snifff, Snifff. ""No wait, it's root beer."" The kids pronounced the enchiladas "" They taste just like Swanson's, but thats ok because I like Swanson's."" Enchiladas filled with tasteless ground beef and smothered in canned sauce. Refried beans tasted canned. Stay away from this rundown dump. Pros: near the hotels Cons: everything else more

Big Portions and Very Yummy! 7/11/2008

This is an excellent mexican restaurant! The tortilla chips are served piping hot and the salsa is wonderful! Friendly and fast service--This will definitely be added to my list of favorites in the area! more

Best Mexican Food. 7/31/2007

Anyone who has actually been to Mexico more than once, and off the resort into actual Mexico, will appreciate this food. It's real Mexican food, not some hyped up ""low brow"" tex-mex or over priced wanna be gourmet. I have spent many years living in Mexico on and off and I know the real thing. THIS is the real thing: rice, beans, and the same 15 or so ingredients done 100 different ways all of which are delicious and fun to eat. If you think this is not real Mexican food, or some frozen reheated food substance than you don't deserve to eat there anyway. Try it and realize what real Mexican food can be, and in New Jersey of all places! Pros: Excellent authentic Mexican food! Cons: none. more

Best real Mexican food 4/9/2007

If you want real Mexican food that the true Mexicans eat, this is it. If you want the spanish influenced or the American versions of Mexican food - go to a ChiChi's look-alike. The only thing this place was missing was the children selling chiclets and the come-ons from the vendors. I grew up in San Diego and spent many afternoons in Tecate and yes - even the border town of TJ - and at the bullfights and soccer games. This is the real Mexican food. Try the Chalupa - and do not expect the type of thing you get at a taco bell. Pros: Very Mexican Cons: Poor location - strip mall and no advertising. more

Ole! 9/28/2006

Since having authentic Mexican food in Mexico in the 1990's - I searched in vain for good Mexican food in New Jersey. Until I found El Azteca. The meals are very authentic and tasty. Pros: great flavor Cons: strip mall location; uninspired interior more

¡No Quiero Taco Bell! 5/4/2006

This is an excellent choice for anyone who is sick to death of Tex Mex. Located in an inauspicious shopping center, the outside (and the inside, for that matter) dont look like much, but the food speaks for itself. The chefs serve up a variety of authentic dishes often with unexpected twists. Their selection of Mexican sodas is a real treat. If you're lucky ""Choripollo"" will be on the special board. It is a savory chicken breast paired with Mexican sausage and served with rice, more than enough for dinner and lunch the next day. ""Queso Diablo"" is a must have as an appetizer -spicy pico de gallo tucked in beneath a smooth layer of bubbling cheese. In combination with their fresh tortilla chips it can only be described as addictive. You will not have room for dessert. The service is always friendly and efficient if not above and beyond. Pros: good parking, friendly service, inexpensive Cons: bland atmosphere more

El Azteca himself would run from this restaurant! 6/8/2005

There is not much to say about watered down salsa or sloppy servings. I was ashamed to dig in the sour cream and lettuce and all the other disguises my food was covered in. I knew that they were hiding something under all the slop on my plate. What I found was worst, tasteless and heartless portions of reheated frozen aisle entrees! I thought the food would be better since it was the first time I saw true Mexican food names on the menu. The only problem was that the interpretations were commecialized and cooked by anything but a true cook. Run Azteca! Run! Pros: parking, desert Cons: food, value, service more
