El Azteco was one of my favorite places to eat when I would visit East Lansing, Mich. To my surprise, they had moved the restaurant from its former home in a basement space to a new street side, first floor location. We were greeted by a woman in a very dirty uniform (yeah, I know it's a restaurant but come on!) We chose a booth near the window. They gave us some beat up menus. We ordered the food from another waiter. We asked guacamole which was market price (found out later it was $7.25). The food came. Chips and salsa also arrived with the guacamole. Only one level of spiciness for the chips was available...extremely hot. My tongue never recovered. I ordered the chicken quesadillas. They were very bad. The chicken did not taste fresh. My husband's burrito was also bad (and Mexican food is among his favorites). They did not refill our drinks in a timely manner. I will never visit this restaurant again. Positive experiences with this restaurant will have to remain in the 1980s and 1990s.
Pros: It was open
Cons: Dirty, bad food, bad service
