Aztec Authentic Mexican Restaurant

Awesome tasty Mexican food, it's a hidden gem, I tried this place for the first time, and I was not really sure about the taste as there are very limited vegetarian options, but I was so surprise after having my first bite.
It was super delicious.
It's a must try restaurant.
Highly recommended 👌🏻

We love Mexican food and this is one of the best spots in the Somerset County area. It's a small, unassuming place, the service was a bit slow, but the food was worth it. The food is relatively authentic, served with careful presentation. There are a few tables outside too when the weather permits, and a small parking lot in the back. We've already been here a couple of times and we'll be back.

Found this spot on google maps for some lunch and it did not disappoint. It has been a while since i’ve had some good tacos in Jersey and these tacos were fantastic! The atmosphere feels like you were home ready to enjoy some home made food. We started off with some chips and salsa but I didn’t get a chance to even take a picture when served due to them being so delicious. you can tell that the ingredients were freshly prepared for the salsa. We ordered chicken and steak tacos and it came with an tremendous amount of flavor with every bite taken. If you are ever in the area and are in the mood for some tacos this is the spot to go to!!!

The street tacos were delicious. My husband had the spicy pork and I had the steak. The steak was some of the best I’ve ever had. I loved that each taco had two tortillas. The presentation was attractive as well. If we are ever in the area again, we’ll definitely return.

Went on a sunday.. The birria is a Sunday special and I lucked out because it was the most delicious birria I ever tasted. The tacos, tilapia, chile relleno… all was delicious

It’s been a couple months and we came back. Absolutely delicious!!

Everyone should dine at the Aztec Authentic Mexican Restaurant! It has Mexican dishes for every palate: meat eaters, vegetarians, and gluten free/celiac disease diners alike. I love the owner thought to make a special gluten free menu, filled with options that people with celiac disease can eat. Even that menu includes vegetarian options, which is a hard combo to accommodate. The steak in the street tacos was juicy and well flavored. The chicken in the street tacos was nicely seasoned and very tasty. The fish came with fresh radish slices, green tomatillo sauce, and a lime for each taco. The tacos came topped with freshly washed chopped white onion and cleanly minced cilantro. Yum. I asked for more tomatillo sauce and the owner was generous in offering another serving. The rice was red/seasoned Mexican rice and the beans were black. The rice and beans combo side was very tasty, topped with white crumbly cheese for more dimension. Gluten eaters can enjoy the burrito, which came covered in a red sauce. Stuffed with meat, rice, beans, and cheese (I think that’s right), this dish is sure to be a fan favorite.
Drinks were just as on point: Mexican Coke with sugar cane sugar and hibiscus/Jamaica with and without sugar — without sugar is hard to find and always what I get if I can. Rare treat to find it!
The gluten free menu items are made safe and free of cross contamination. The chips are made in a separate fryer for gluten free only. And when the owner brought the chips out, he brought one for the gluten eaters and one for gluten free eaters. Top notch!
I highly recommend this place if you’re in New Jersey, or if you’re driving by, add this to your itinerary for a tasty, filling meal.

Unexpected gem in Chester. Tried lunch this past week . The Chicken Chimichangas were delicious! Light, flaky crisp outer shell and fresh, ingredients on the inside. We liked it so much, we went back the next morning for breakfast! Authentic Huevos Rancheros were cooked to perfection. We also had 2 cups of their Aztec coffee (1 water brewed & 1 milk brewed). In my opinion, one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had! $5.99 per cup and worth it. It also had fresh grated cinnamon and cinnamon stick to add to the flavor.
The prices are reasonable, the food is fresh and prepared to order. Tortillas are delicious.
I will be going back many times in the future. Family owned and operated, the owners are friendly and attentive to your dining needs.
This is a BYOB restaurant and they even prepare virgin Mexican classic drinks, you just need bring your own alcohol to add.
My recommendation is...if you want to go for breakfast, call ahead the day before to reserve a time & table.
Hope this review was helpful! Enjoy!

went for mothers day and got the birria tacos, amazing food and the staff there were so sweet and friendly

I am obsessed with their street tacos! The flavor is incredible!!! Staff is extremely friendly! My go to spot!

I had my very first taco ever here and it was delicious. Home-like atmosphere, friendly server and the food was amazing. Since visiting, I taught myself how to make the real street tacos at home. Even made some carnitas. Thank you for opening my eyes and taste buds to your delicious Mexican dishes! Will definitely visit again!

I literally cannot get through a week without visiting this place. The food is really good and the portions are enormous. The attached picture of a chimichanga is every bit as delicious as it looks.

Fun restaurant with great menu choices for lunch on the weekend with great service. We polished off the guacamole & chips before our entrees came. Both my wife and I had tacos. She had the shrimp ones and I had the mix of steak and chorizo. As you can see in the photo, it came with salsa in the middle and sliced radishes that added a refreshing zest along with the cilantro when I bit into the tacos. My wife enjoyed the shrimp ones as well and I couldn't finish mine. I was so full I couldn't eat a bite for the rest of the day!

This place is honestly delicious. We visited last night for my husband’s birthday, brought our dog and sat outside. We ordered guacamole, fajitas and shrimp tacos - all so good and even plated well. The shrimp on the tacos were seasoned perfectly. Service was attentive and so pleasant. Im glad we decided to go last night and we will absolutely be back.

Delicious food! Staff was beyond friendly and the food was phenomenal! Loved every single bite! The shrimp appetizer and steak burrito are a must!

A-frickin-mazing... got the El Papi Burrito and OMG. A lot of food for a great price, a sneaky heat, DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED TO ALL

We have eaten here twice since recently discovering it and have had amazing experiences both time. We ordered Burritos, Chimichangas, street tacos, and steak nachos and loved all of them. Staff is extremely polite and welcoming too. We can’t wait to eat their again soon!

The Food is very yummy 😋 excellent service, economic prices. Recommend 😍

Some of the best street tacos I’ve had and better portions than you usually see. Love this place!

Love this place so much! I am savoring the salsa with chips and shrimp burritos i got yesterday. Their tacos are amazing too!! Everything is fresh and tasty. The owner is very friendly. I miss this place when I’m out of town

Wonderful home-like atmosphere. Absolutely delicious authentic fresh food and friendly staff. What the heck else could you ask for?
