La Azteca Tortilleria

The Chile relleno burrito with carne asada is amazing. Everything is great in general because they make their flour tortillas fresh in house.

This place was amazing. I had a breakfast burrito. It was the best I’ve ever had. It was pricey but worth it. The burritos had stewed tomatoes inside, this went so well with the burritos other ingredients. The tortilla on the burrito was amazing and full of flavor.

IMO the carne burrito is overrated. Pretty good, nothing amazing. The meat had a lot of hard chunks of chewy fat. Maybe breakfast one is better. Would also be nice if they had air conditioning in the shop.

My favorite burrito joint that offers vegetarian and vegan options. Nopales (cacti and Eggs) Burrito (with no refried beans) $9 is my favorite!!! For only $9 (normal burrito prices), this place is a steal for their high quality fresh ingredients. I love their handmade tortillas!! The tortilla is very similar in taste and texture to the Taiwanese breakfast egg crepe pancake. Brunch place, closes early 4pm, with breakfast burritos stopped seating around 3pm. Living just blocks away, there's tons of burritos places...they can't compete against this place.

Hot sauce is fresh and has a hint of sweetness. I'm a mild spicy sensitive eater, who also doesn't like overly smoky hot sauce. I would consider this medium in spicy levels.

There's some bar top seating, sanitizer bottles, and recycling bin. Credit card taken. Tight street parking is very common in this area.

To do in the area:
If visiting from afar, I highly recommend strolling around to grab some fresh Mexican bakery, tamales and meat produce from local markets and restaurants. It's a small outdoor strolling area. If you come before closing, and looking for an alcoholic drink, Cities is walkable and opens at 4pm Wednesday-Friday with happy hour or there's Luminaries that is a short drive away with happy hour at 4:30pm Wednesday-Friday.

Looking forward to trying their Cactus Pico Salad $5 small, and getting Tortillas (Partially-Cooked Homemade Flour Tortillas) $6 to go.

I think this restaurant has a strong following because it provides a lot of comfort in comfort food. I ordered the Chile Rellano burrito with carne asada beef and fried eggs. The Chile rellano is a big pepper stuffed with cheese, then breaded and deep fried. If you are not a cheese or Chile fan, then this burrito is not for you. The tortillas are made fresh daily, so it has an extra bounce that older 2-3 days old tortilla doesn’t have. I also ordered the chicharrones, deep fried pork skin. It was too over fried for my likings, this is where the some pork meat meets the fat and the skin. It became hard and crunchy. Benign an old man with dentures, I prefer my chicharrones less hard. The hot sauce is hot, but it’s full of flavor and character. If you are in town, please try it. Your stomach will thank you later.

La Aztecs seems like they won every award - and they deserve it! I ordered a taco and a breakfast burrito. The others in my group ordered a good variety of food and everyone loved it. Small interior with some seating, and a few outdoor seating as well.

I ordered a burrito, since that’s what they’re “famous” for. I had no idea what was in store for me. All tortillas here are made in house and the flour tortilla for this burrito was especially delicious. The flour tortilla was slightly crispy and with heft behind every bite (not the usual, wet/floppy thin flour tortilla we’re used to). Definitely has the home made taste going for it and it captures what eating in Mexico is like, it’s just so good. I got the eggs and chorizo burrito and added some bacon for good measure. The red salsa was hot and full of flavor, on point. Definitely coming back.

I wish Google gave me the option to give it 4.5 stars instead of 4.

The quality of ingredients truly are on another league from the rest.
Tortillas are handmade there in the restaurant. Salsa pairs perfectly with the burrito.

I got a breakfast burrito and it's the best burrito I've ever had.

The only reason I docked it half a star was because my tortilla was undercooked and I kept tasting flour in every bite.

Otherwise, it was perfect.
