Great and affordable spot for tacos, slopes, pupusas and much more. Family owned and super chill atmosphere. Great margaritas and half off Thursday Friday. Thanks!

I can't say I'm impressed with the food. I did not like the tortillas. The enchiladas and rice lacked flavor. If I ever go back I'll try Pozole. The music is fun. The salsa bar is great. You have to ask for cups.

If you would like a much more authentic Mexican food experience in Durham, go to Azteca Grill. The staff were some of the most friendly I have experienced at any restaurant. They made my daughter and I feel very welcome and comfortable. I tried the Sopes and Gorditas for the first time. Both were excellent! My daughter had a burrito which she very much enjoyed. Their sauces ranged from Mild all the way to Hell. I did not dare try the Hell :-) The Mexican music was not too loud and did not impede our conversations. The food was priced very reasonably – less expensive than many, other Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. THE Aztec Grill Is a 23 minute drive from my house, but it will be my go to Mexican restaurant from now on.

Stopped in for a Friday night dinner after seeing them on the Best of Durham list and definitely lives up the hype! The food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, and all of the staff was so kind. The half off margs on Thursday and Friday were an added bonus. Highly recommend, we will be back!

Azteca Grill is sooo good. I ordered the Enchiladas Verde (It's my comfort food dish after decades living in Texas). They were totally delicious. Often when I order this dish here in North Carolina, the chicken is chewy and the salsa verde isn't quite right. The chicken in my enchiladas tonight was perfectly tender, and the salsa was exactly as it should be - tangy tomatillo with just the right amount of heat. I had a nice conversation with one of the guys that works there. He told me that the restaurant is totally family-run. His aunt was cooking that night, but his dad, mom, and grandfather also prepare food. I could tell he was really proud of Azteca. They're doing an amazing job, start to finish, including their 99.5 health rating.

I'm attending a private event here but we're getting their food and their drinks. The food is great, the drinks terrific and the service outstanding. Family run and well managed. Highly recommend it and will definitely be back.
