Wow! What a gem. I enjoyed a very tasty meal of shrimp enchilada verde with beans and rice. I also enjoyed a mango margherita and fried ice cream. The trio of success offered with the fresh chips before the meal were very flavorful and the ice cream was a nice close to a wonderful eal. The service was very good and the ambience was warm and comfortable on this chilly night.
So nice to have a margarita with fresh ingredients and good tequila instead of the syrup mix at most places. The tacos were amazing. The Cochinita pibil taco was the best I have had in my 64 years traveling all over Mexico. The Asada taco was great too. The salsa is great. Amazing service. Worth the drive to this spot, and worth every penny. Kudos!!!
The reviews are right! This place earns its high rating. A cute and moderately sized dining room in an old building amidst a charming area of south milwaukee awaits you when you visit Azteca. On our first visit, the Saturday evening crowd was vibrating and the live music was lively. We were seated immediately for our reservation. The menu is pretty extensive and in line with most other authentic Mexican restaurants. The three different salsas were good. We sampled the house margaritas and they were solid. The stars of the show were the food and the staff. The food was prepared exactly to requested variations. The steak enchilada with added fresh jalepenos with verde sauce on top was excellent, as was the chili rellenos with chorizo. Our friends got the suiza enchilada and they looked yummy. As noted, the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuine in their desire for the visit to be positive. Highly recommended. We'll be back.
The owners here are so friendly, and the food is GREAT. We love coming for a margarita, after a hard day at work
Azteca is great ! the food is tasty and fresh . The chips come with 3 salsas , and their guacamole is very nice , classic style . The servers are so professional and also friendly ,just the right amount of attention. It's very comfortable, and they have outside seating with flower boxes .
We ate at Azteca for the first time last night and the food was outstanding! Truly authentic Mexican with wonderful service and great margaritas. One of the highlights was the Cochinita pibil. Delicious stewed pork with a sweet and spicy flavor. We loved the variety of salsas that allowed you to top your chips or tacos with the heat level you desired. Everything was fresh and flavorful! The steak and lengua tacos were delicious as was the chile rellenos. We also had one of the best margaritas ever! Sadly did not take any pictures but would highly recommend Azteca! Looking forward to going back and sampling more dishes!
THE BEST Mexican restaurant in Milwaukee hands down. The flavors, the staff and, hands down, the best house margaritas period! Not too sweet and not too sour - simply perfect. I love the spices on the skirt steak, the Al Pastor is unmatched. Worth the trip. You will not be disappointed.
Enjoyed a very nice meal as Azteca in South Milwaukee. 3 of us ate dinner. Service was very wonderful and everyone including the young man who seated us , checked in if everything was going all right with the food and if we needed anything-- napkins or water etc. --very kind. The food was good. Prices are average for the dinners. Pretty much typical to what you find at other restaurants price wise. The one thing that threw me off was that they wedge their doors open. Both doors-- so the outside is open to the inside. The weather was somewhat muggy and cool as it was mildly rainy and a bit windy-- and also any bugs/flys can fly in. I know some enjoy eating outside, and then these things are expected. But, when eating inside- I didn't enjoy the open doors. Overall-- it was a very good experience and so we have a 4 star review. You'd enjoy the food here. Everything we had had a lot of good flavor. Give them a try- it's a cute place with workers that smile and care.
