Description

Located in the basement of Republic Plaza off the 16th Street Mall, El Azteca holds the Mexican-food slot in this throwback food court.

This outpost offers all the regular dishes -- tacos, burritos, green chile, breakfast burritos -- as well as an incredible roasted chicken.

I'd thought that I would never find authentic--much less great--Mexican food in this town. I'd worried that manana would never come. Now, finally, it's here--by way of California. Sergio and Alicia Hernandez were running two successful rest... More »
