El Aztecas - Allendale

Absolutely delicious. Random pick. Expertly happy.
Pinder, our server was great. Prompt and held a smile. I think he was also the bartender??? Raise anybody? Great service. Great food.

Really a neat looking restaurant - loved the colorful interior. At first thought prices were maybe a bit high, but after we received our taco salads (my friend had the beef and l had the chicken) they were absolutely delicious. We both had a huge amount of meat and all the ingredients that l really love! We each tried to finish our salads, but just too much to eat. Definitely would love to go back! 🤓🐾🐾

Great family-owned Mexican restaurant located not too far from the Grand Valley State University campus.

Very colorful atmosphere with each table and chair having its own Aztec-themed artwork - you could spend hours going from chair to chair just to admire the individual scenes!

The restaurant offers a wide variety of Mexican favorites, from tacos to burritos to other classic dishes. Non-meat options are also available for those who may so desire.

The meals are served quickly and are absolutely delicious! Portions are generous giving you good value for the money. While the servings may look like a lot, I found myself making sure there were no left-overs!

A full-sized bar also serves many spirits, wine and beer. I was intrigued by the "Margarita Tower" and may have to come prepared to try it next visit (bring "helpers").

Plenty of free parking and is conveniently located to a variety of other local businesses. Well worth the visit!

Great authentic food! Great experience from the beginning, a nice gentleman greeted us with a big warm smile and seated us. The waitress was nice, the food was delicious and the place was clean! Definitely coming back 💖

Cesar is the absolute best! He provides amazing customer service and cracks the funniest jokes! And, I can't forget how good the shots he makes are... Definitely recommend this place! 11/10

Ok, I saw the negative reviews and decided to try this restaurant anyway. I must say, I was quite impressed. They weren’t busy(11:30am) but I received great service.(restaurants typically have the worst service when they’re slow)
I happen to love Chalupas, but they weren’t on the menu. I asked my server and she brought out someone who asked all the right questions. I ended up enjoying one of the best chalupa’s ever! Good portions and evenly cooked with my rice and beans. I drank a margarita and it was almost excellent.(I could always use a little more alcohol. 🤭My server was friendly and personable. The manager was on the floor helping the serving staff even though they weren’t busy. I’m a third shift worker and even though it’s a Tuesday morning-it’s my Friday night. I felt special when they brought my food. Will definitely return! A+A+A+A+A+

A Flavorful Journey to Authentic Mexican Cuisine with Stellar Service

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)🌮🇲🇽🌯

My experience at El Aztecas was nothing short of delightful! As someone who adores Mexican food, I can confidently say that this place serves some of the most authentic and flavorful dishes in the area. The vibrant atmosphere and the warm, colorful decor made me feel like I was dining in the heart of Mexico.

What truly made our experience stand out was our exceptional waitress, Silvia. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly attentive and welcoming. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she offered valuable recommendations based on our preferences. Silvia took the time to explain the dishes in detail, which helped us decide on the perfect meal.

We started with the house-made guacamole, which was rich and creamy – the ideal appetizer to whet our appetites. For our main course, we enjoyed the Mole Poblano and Carne Asada, both of which were bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. To top off our meal, we indulged in their scrumptious churros, served with a decadent chocolate sauce.

The overall service was swift and efficient, and Silvia frequently checked in on us to ensure our satisfaction. Her warm demeanor and genuine interest in our dining experience made us feel like valued guests, rather than just another table.

If you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine with exceptional service, look no further than El Aztecas. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone in search of a memorable dining experience. And don't forget to ask for Silvia when you visit - she will make your meal even more enjoyable!
