This place was absolutely delicious, our waitress was so sweet and helpful, and it's all located in a little bookstore. I loved how there were a lot of books where the main characters were POC, something I don't really see anywhere. Back to the food! We had tostones, steak and potatoes, and carne a la tampiqueña con shrimp. The steak and potatoes had this sauce that was so creamy and flavorful. The carne a la tampiqueña con shrimp had tender meat and perfectly seasoned with a little kick. And the tostones were fried to perfection! For drinks we had the house and pomegranate margarita, very strong, but still delicious. Overall, we'd definitely come again, for not only the food, but ambiance a...
We had the most wonderful dinner at Cafe Azteca!!! First time there. Loved the atmosphere amidst the El Taller bookstore/art space. Staff were universally nice and helpful. Our food was perfectly prepared my Pescado y Camarones had a delicious sauce, but more importantly the cod and the shrimp were cooked just right so many restaurants overcook their seafood... this was tender, melt in your mouth fresh! Hub got the Chimichanga de Tinga which he absolutely devoured. He ordered black beans and I ordered refried so we could try both... and both were as good as it gets! My margarita and his fruit smoothie were both amazing as well! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. We will be back!!!
I went for the first time last night. The food is the absolute best. I ordered the Buddha bowl with added avocado. I did it choose to add chicken as I am usually disgusted by chicken that tops as an extra. My husband had chicken tacos. His chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. Next time I will Top my bowl with chicken! I had a hibiscus Margarita with Patron. It was perfect. The atmosphere was fun and unique. There is so much effort from the family that owns this place. Even the side salad was wonderful and carefully prepared I hope this place is a big success and I hope everyone tries it. I had my leftovers for breakfast!
Forgot to put sauces (the entire reason I ordered the menu items I chose) in the bag, refused to fix it with the excuse of being short staffed. The sauces are quite good, but the Don Vasco sandwich and Tostones are quite dry and unappetizing without the sauce, which makes this experience extremely disappointing. I would not recommend anybody order delivery from Azteca. This was an extremely disappointing experience.

Far and away the best Mexican food in New England. This is not your typical Tex Mex joint for tacos and chimichangas. This is the real deal serious Mexican cuisine fit for the most discriminating palate. To recommend one dish would be a disservice to all the others. Everything is fabulous. Just go.
We went there yesterday for a late lunch. It was my first time in the new location inside El Taller and we thought it was so cozy and welcoming. Seems like a great gathering place. The food was delicious. We both got mole dishes poblano and tamales. Yum! We will be back
