What People Are Saying About El Azteca

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – The original location of this mini-chain draws in a predominantly young clientele for generous portions of its almost innumerable combinations of inexpensive Mexican food. Margaritas, in all their incarnations, are delivered from the front-room bar, imbuing the small, yellow-walled dining room with a celebratory air that's matched by decorative sombreros and colorful blankets. The best of the offerings are the simple chicken tacos and the chili rellenos, which are firm and fiery.

Its ok...

by harrys51

Decent service, food taste very good, but I felt I overpaid just couple a little bit for Mexican food. Its like the local version of Out of The Border in the city. Do not get me wrong prices are less than $20 but a real Mexican restaurant in South Philly will be much cheaper. Its just ok.

  • Pros: Food and Menu
  • Cons: Like going to chain restaurant

you literally CAN'T wait to eat

by rudimintz

can't comment on the food because we didn't eat it. and, from the treatment we were given by the host, you'd think that they didn't actually want us to. upon arriving with our party of 6, we were told that we had to wait for a table, but that we couldn't actually wait in the restaurant for it. could we perhaps sit and wait at one of the numerous, large empty tables in the front of the restaurant, we asked? no, those tables are reserved, we were told. so we left and quickly found another place that would allow us to remain both before and during our meal.

  • Pros: prompt, albeit idiotic service
  • Cons: idiotic service
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

PLENTY OF FOOD FOR THE PRICE!

by andy7608010

THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT THIS PLACE IS THE PARKING. THE AMOUNT OF FOOD YOU GET WITH YOUR ENTREES IS WELL WORTH THE PRICE.

  • Pros: AMOUNT OF FOOD PER SERVING, PRICE
  • Cons: VERY LITTLE PARKING
