   Food was really delicious. However I really do have to comment on the service. The waiter we had started taking away our plates before we’d finished eating and my friend had to say sorry we’re still eating. The waiters and waitresses were constantly climbing on the bar in our view to adjust the music, this was so unprofessional and so distracting. At one point a waiter was lay on the bar ringing the bell to get their colleagues attention which again was unprofessional. The music was made so loud each time and we could barely hear ourselves speak, it felt like we were in a bar and not a restaurant. We were then asked if we wanted more drinks to then 5 minutes later be told we needed to leave, we were so confused and rushed out despite having half a glass of wine left each. Unless the service improves I don’t think I’d be returning here.

   Repeatedly had to ask for drinks - food arrived before them! Wine was warm so had to choose a different one then wait again… Some dishes were delicious, others pretty average for the price. I wouldn’t go back. El Pastor is much better.

   Main thing, we thought the food was excellent! Service wasn't great for us. Arrived and almost got turned away as they couldn't find my booking on OpenTable. Then it felt like our table wasn't on anyone's radar...after we ordered no one came to check on us, and once we were done and stacked up our plates it was a long wait until we got someone over to give us the bill. Hard to catch anyone's eye. To be fair, it looked like the other tables were well attended to.

   Such a fantastic place and a neighborhood gem for us. We started going from the very week they opened and have been regulars ever since. It has only been improving. The menu is varied and the dishes are always really delicious (guac is out of this world and churros with tres leches are to die for). Roy and his team surely make you feel welcome and comfortable - the service is outstanding and the margaritas (oh, the margaritas...) are the best I have tried. We love the place and will always keep coming back.

   Azteca exceeded all expectations. The food was incredible, but the service was even better!! Roy was outstanding and his recommendation are not to be missed ;) Everything is homemade, including the mind-blowing Mexican corn tortillas, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. The atmosphere, the flavours, the energy...it all takes you straight back to Mexico. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and speak Spanish, which made the whole experience even more immersive. We will be coming back for sure!

    Way too expensive. Mexican food shouldn’t cost this much. Not authentic.
