Customer Reviews
We NEEDED tacos, con margarita, so we weighed our options - after pizza and Italian, I’d say our Mexican choices locally are solid - and bowed to The Aztec King. The perfectly salt-rimmed, on-the-rocks, original lime mega-margaritas were actually the ‘skinny’ version; meaning, real lime juice. It was a great recommendation by our waiter, and just a small upcharge. For the size of the drinks, the price was right (some of the food items seemed steep, though). We built a simple but fan favorite rundown of the Morelos steak soft tacos, Morelos shrimp soft tacos, sweet plantains and the Mexican street style corn. My lovely fiance doesn’t like mayo (or eggs; I know, it’s rough but she’s great, trust me) so I typewritered the elote, enseguida. The plantains weren’t as gooey as I’d normally like
Excellent food, great service and fantastic atmosphere!!! I had the fish tacos, and they were phenomenal!! My wife had the fajita nachos, and she said they were great!! We went on Nov. 1, so they were celebrating the day of the dead.... Excellent resteraunt, highly recommend!!
My daughter and I went here for lunch and it was an excellent experience. Good service, great food, and such a nice atmosphere. I had the burrito Gonzalez, and it was packed with chicken, shrimp, and steak! My daughter had shrimp tacos, and again, they were loaded with shrimp. It was slow, even approaching lunch, but I truly people dont understand what they are missing! Highly recommended!
I had the birria tacos and they only give you 2 tacos! They were bland and in need of some salt. (They didn't have salt available at the table) The rice was good and so were the refried beans. I had their cake and it was bland too!!! Their horchata is good. Overall, their food is kind of a hit or miss. Something's are good and others are bland/missing flavor. For the money, it's not the most cheap nor most expensive, but I expect better for the price. The decorations inside are cool.
$20 Fajita, super salty salsa, all served on sharp broken plates. I’ve been going here 20 years since Blackman street location. This was my last visit ever again. Why? $65 bill I left hungry $20 deflated Fajita no napkins, bare tables no salt pepper or any condiments My food was served on broken plates. Took pictures in case of hospital visit. Told waitress no one cared. Manager very sick cough blowing nose. This place was the cats meow and in my opinion the rearranging of tables puts you on display with no privacy. It’s ok to increase prices because of bad management but don’t take the food off the plate. It was a joke what I got for $20. Really! Here is my opinion on the broken plate. 6 customers in restaurant and I counted 9 employees that I can see or wasted my time counting. Most of
