Taqueria Azteca

Tried again to order and was told they only deliver in the morning with the boss sometimes, whatever that means. I give up.

Great food. Fast service. I always know what I’m getting here and it always leaves me satisfied.

Small place went in on a tueday for well ya know. taco tuesday and i asked to see if there were any taco tuesday special? They said no. Because they dont do business like that. Come to realize there is a place called Taco tuesday down the street.
Long story short. No taco special for tues, but decent food.

Had a steak butrito, side of rice, and horchata for ten bucks. The burrito was good, actually better than other places on Irving park. BUT, they are skimpy on the meat and should do a better job of trimming the fat out. The rice was standard, not long grain BUT the short little mushy kind. The flavor was good but the actual rice could be better. The horchata was also better than others I’ve had.
The place was small but clean and the food was ready fast.
Overall, I’d go for another burrito.

Excellent, authentic Mexican. Reminds me of taco carts in Puerto Vallarto Mexico. Very reasonably priced.

The food was ok. Awful service. Waited 45 just for a beer and when the food finally came, they got it incorrect. Definitely would not come back.

Typical tacqueria. Good chicken, carnitas, and Carne asada tacos. Fast and friendly service. Would recommend you visit.

Small place with a few tables and chairs. I was there at lunch and the place seems to be popular with business people looking for a quick lunch. They have a big menu but I stuck with a staple of Mexican-​American restaurants — the steak burrito. You can get it alone or for a couple bucks more its served with rice and beans.
PSA: If you are driving on any of the streets north of here in the industrial park, be forewarned the speed limits are 20 mph and there are police lurking in the area.

Good food, would recommend

I tried this restaurant based on good Unilocal reviews and I think they definitely live up to their standards on here.
I tried the lengua taco dinner, which was very delicious and flavorful. I also tried one of the barbocoa tacos which also had a very good flavor.
The guacamole and chips were both fresh and delicious.
The prices seemed fair for everything, and competitive with other taco places.
My only complaint is they forgot my side of limes with my pick up order, which cost them one star !

Very solid tacos. I love the fish and the LOCO (mix of meats /​store specialty).
We eat here about once every two weeks for lunch. Place is family run. Some of the best guacamole I’ve had… ever.
Don’t expect white table cloths and you won’t be disappointed.

Our first time eating here. Food was excellent-​very flavorful. Not fancy, but clean & delicious!

The steak burrito was small and bland. Not much flavor at all!

A small nice clean taqueria in Wood dale. The tacos and enchilada were great and the service was real quick. Not much else you can ask for in a small taqueria.

It may not look like much, but it’s worth the stop. The chicken tacos were fantastic — the meat was tender and impressively juicy. The fish tacos were similarly good. The only so-​so item were the regular steak tacos. The meat was just a bit dry and wasn’t something I’d order again. Everything else? Worth the stop.

Sometimes they deliver, sometimes they don’t. They are very inconsistent, last time the girl that delivered the food didn’t have enough change. So ridicules if you own a business please be organized!

Given how close Taqueria Azteca is to my home I thought I should give it a try. The Unilocal reviews are great and I have been ignoring it for too long!
The place is very well-​hidden and somewhat small. There are tables to dine-​in if you desire but I was just just there for takeout.
I ordered Chicken Tacos for my wife, and the server knew to ask me if I wanted cilantro/​onion or cheese/​lettuce. Like the good gringo I am, I opted for the latter and hung my head in shame for not going authentic. At least I can blame my wife! She enjoyed the tacos — not the best she’s had but she would go back.
For me, I got the «big» steak burrito. What can I say — it was so good my dog gave me a crazy look for eating it too fast. Definitely a meal in itself but since I was in an «eat everything within arm’s reach» mode, I also tried «big» chicken quesadilla I brought home with me. Very tasty as well, but not perfect. They could have used a little «something» as they were a bit plain, but still good.
Finally, I always like to try different salsas, so I ordered some salsa and chips. The former definitely had some kick and I was soon reaching for my lemonade to put out a bit of the fire. I’ve had hotter but this was good. A bit of a smoky flavour, but not overwhelming.
I had trouble writing this review because I’m not sure there’s anything unique or original about Taqueria Azteca, but what I ordered was done right and tasty. Kind of feels like a future «old standard» that I could get used to.
I’ll definitely be back, given the quality of the food, the location, and the friendliness of the staff. The prices weren’t too bad, either.

Carried out from here dozens of times for lunch at work. Good, honest food with many small touches that bump the food up into 4 star territory. So why the 5^th star? This place awakened within me a love of lengua (specifically lengua burritos) and for that I owe them a debt of gratitude. Or a fifth star on Unilocal

I think this place is worthy of my time and money. LOL …
Firstly, I have tried pretty much all of the different tacos on their menu. I personally love Asada (steak), Lengua (Tongue) and my favorite is their Barbacoa which is very tender and tasty flavored.
My other favorite on the menu is the Mojarra Frita. Its a very well-​done fish. Very light and delicious. however, you have to wait 10 – 15 minutes when you order, so I usually order over the phone and go to pick it up.
I also love their salsa verde. Sometimes, I would go there just to get some salsas.

I work not too far from this place and I order from here AT LEAST once a week.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: As good as it gets.
FOOD: As good as it gets– CANNOT GO WRONG!
There are no words to describe the flavor of the steak. It’s cooked well done, not too chewy/​hard, enough flavor, it is just right!
I’ve tried the enchiladas, burritos tacos and nachos all get 5 stars.
If you have the chance check this place out! And if you are really hungry– the Killer Burrito is smaller than the Big Burrito. So if you are really hungry order yourself the BIG BURRITO!!!
