Authentic Mexican food, consistent spice levels and flavor. Friendly service. Food is served hot and fast. Dining inside is bright with a festive flair. Everything is good. I haven't tried the American items but I go for fajitas, enchiladas, burritos and tacos.

First off, I want to say that the service/help were very nice. We did a take-out order. I have no complaints about the staff. I also want to say that my mom's burrito was very tasty, according to her. We also ordered a taco salad. 1. The chips and salsa. The salsa was very good. The chips had no salt whatsoever. It was like eating weeds in the woods, cooked over an open fire that people defecated upon. Am I a porcupine? Am I an opossum, that I cannot eat some salt and must lick sticks? I must do this. Remind me of this. Bucket list: lick sticks in Allendale. These chips were a catastrophe. Maybe if you're drunk, they'd taste okayl 2. El Aztecas' taco salad. No lettuce. The "taco salad" was like a taco with 50,000 lbs. of taco crap stuffed between the so-called crispy taco shell. Excuse me, but we'd like a little lettuce in our salad. Americans are genius in this way. And also, please give us some dressing, for Jesus if not for us. Jesus doesn't ask for much, but I do. So serve Jesus next time. Next time I'll order El Aztececa, I'm gonna bring my tractor so that I can pick up my 50,000 lb. order. It'll taste grate.

This is my third time at El Aztecas and every time I've had a great experience! They have a decent sized seating area and it's not too loud. Their staff are friendly and prompt. The food is delicious. I'm partial to the quesabirria tacos but their enchiladas are good too! Check them out if you're in the Allendale area!

Always up for Mexican food. They allowed us to sit on the patio. It does sit by the road but it is shaded and has trees around it so it didn't seem too loud. The service was great! They came often to check on us. The chips and salsa were good. Not the best chips ever but I had two bowls, so obviously I can't complain. Some heat in the salsa they bring out too. I found the menu varied and some similar items cheaper than at other restaurants. They pack the chimichangas with so many tasty fillings and still give the side options. Also had grilled tacos; simple but actual grill marks and good flavor. I Would definitely come back here.
