This place is a hidden jewel!! The building has limited parking space and is somewhat uninviting from the outside (humble), but once you taste the food or drinks, you'll be coming back for more!! The portions are filling. If you get a meal, don't get an extra side unless you can eat a horse!! Theirs are the only Margaritas that I've ever had that DID NOT give me heart burn!! This food is BETTER than the food I had on my honeymoon in Mexico!! The prices are also very reasonable. How many places can you have an excellent meal, a few (2-3) margaritas and be out the door (including a 20%+tip) for 30 bux or less???
Do us all a favor and don't tell too many people about this place!!
Parking was limited and from the outside it looked like a dump, but inside it was clean and bustling on this Thursday night. The service was good, the prices were more than reasonable, the portions were generous, the food was delectable, and to top it all off, the staff spoke excellent English! We only come to this area once a year but I know we'll be be repeat customers.
Unlike many of the places in and around Boston that suggest they serve authentic Mexican, El Azteca delivers. No fancy mango shrimp phonies --the pulled meat dishes, refrieds, fresh tortillas and many combo plates are just right. Great salsa (including a special extra picante version), and the chips are made for you as you come in the door.
The small but hard-working staff are there almost 365 days a year, serving up inexpensive but truly authentic Mexican dishes in healthy portions, and with little wait. The selection of Mexican and Central American beers are served typically iced-cold along with kiddie pool size Margaritas. If you've been around Mexico and have tasted the food in lots of places, you can close your eyes and think you are south of the border -- its not fancy, just like the typical cantinas in Viejo Mexico. Who knew that in Mansfield Center you could find a great Mexican meal every night of the year!
