“ I had a wonderful Carne Asada steak on a flat iron pan with rice and beans ... and it was absolutely delicious. It was made just right ... lime margarita to top it off, and I was happy. Excellent establishment, they say they've been around 50 years -- for good reason ”

“ Definitely better than I expected. I got an old fashioned. It was $15, which I think is insane, but inflation is the theme right now and not really an Azteca issue. The flavor was fine. Chips and salsa were fine. Chips were fresh. I ate a slice of the Mexican pizza. It was good, but I'm generally not the biggest fan of super thin pizza like this. I like pizza where the crust has more presence. We ordered the tacos al pastor. I thought those were quite good, a relatively respectable street taco. Mainly, the meat was fatty and juicy, and they didn't put too much other crap on it aside from cilantro, onion, and a lime wedge. Of course, I still loaded it with more stuff, but giving the meat a chance to talk is important for a street taco. Nice thick wraps. Finally, I noticed something called a molcajete on the menu. I don't remember having this before, so I had to try it. It's like a Mexican curry stew...thing (well molcajete, I guess, refers to the bowl itself, which also doubles as like a mortar?). I opted for steak, but our server (I think his name was Fausto?) suggested getting mixed meats instead, which was technically not on the menu. Thanks bro. By my count, there were four types of meat. My favorite, by far, would be the beef in the stew itself. This was smoky, tender, and had absorbed the umami of the stew. After that, I would rank them as 1) prawns 2) steak 3) chicken. The prawns were fat and gained great flavor from everything. The steak was kinda overdone and just okay. Finally, the chicken was your generically dry and rubbery American garbage. Also, having all that meat hanging out of the bowl looks good, but doesn't make much sense in terms of logistics or food pairing. I still have to transfer that huge slab of chicken to a plate to cut it or start ripping chunks off with my teeth. My preference would be to have both the steak and the chicken in bite size pieces to begin with. Oh yeah, the jalapeño in the molcajete was super spicy. So spicy that I didn't think it was a jalapeño, but Fausto said it was. I had no problem eating part of it, but see, like, I can eat really spicy food. If I thought it was super spicy, some *cough* white *cough* person is going to end up in the hospital at some point. LOL ”

“ We love going here. The service is friendly and reasonably efficient. The ambience is fantastic - very cozy. The food is delicious. Currently they are having a fun holiday flight of margaritas - you can choose from a long list of flavors and get 3 for around 20 bucks. Comes out very pretty in a wooden serving "plank." What I like about Azteca is they have a variety of menu options from those you might expect to those that are not as commonly found. The carne asada is a local favorite as well as a favorite of ours (sells out sometimes!); though everything we try here is fantastic. ”

“ We had dinner here for a party of 26. We made a last minute reservation and we were accommodated right away, thank you! The menu was large with many options. Food came out hot, big portions and flavorful! The servers were friendly and stopped by often to check our table. We enjoyed our drinks too! ”

“ I haven't eaten here in 20+ years because I no longer live in the area but decided this would be a good place to go with family during a quick overnight in Tukwila. I still love the atmosphere here! Saltillo tile, grand ceilings and good lighting. The server was very friendly but he was a slow. The food was good but not amazing. My husband and I split a Mexican pizza and a pollo ala Crema. The tortillas that came with the pollo dish were flour, quite small and we only got three. The chips are a little thicker than I prefer and the salsa was quite mild. All in all it was a decent meal. ”
