We like this place! The courtyard is adorable and I wish we would have ate outside (it was raining a little when we got there but sunny when we left). We didn’t order drinks but the people around us had yummy looking micheladas and margaritas. The beans are delicious. Food was really good, service was okay.

Had dinner last night at Azteca. The food was excellent! Veggie burrito, Christmas style, was loaded with perfectly grilled veggies and the beans were delicious! My wife had veggie enchiladas with Mole, which was amazing (she's from Mexico and is very particular about her Mole, she loved it) my mother-in-law had the green chile pasta, which she really enjoyed! The staff was attentive, the beers were cold, the jalapeno margarita was tasty, the service was great, and the patio is a beautiful place to hang out! Nicolas, thank you for everything!

We sat in the patio area, but it took a while to get seated. They were pretty backed up, and it seemed a bit disorganized, so that’s the only reason we’d give 4, not 5, stars. They were very accommodating once we got seated, and our fajita plate came out within 10 minutes of ordering it. We also go the mango margherita, which is an up-charge but I think is worth it because of the nice tequila they use for it. A beautiful little garden spot with nice flowers is a nice place to eat on the patio area.

Great experience at Azteca Mexican Grill in Taos. We could have dinner outside with a very pleasant temperature (high 80s). They offer a nice selection of (New) Mexican cuisine. Couldn't resist the "Mar y tierra", combining beef and shrimps. It was simply delicious

We are visiting from Florida my husband originally from Mexico and I from California, we have tasted lots and lots of enchiladas but these were so good. Reminded us of the best home cooking. The service was great all the girls were friendly and nice 10/10 recommend. We also had Mole

The town this restaurant is in is very cute! The restaurant has indoor and outdoor sitting. We decided to sit outside since it was very nice night. The guy who sat us down was very friendly and nice. Our waiter not so much and I don’t know why. I don’t know if it was because we arrived one hour before closing but we arrived at 8pm. She took a while to come to our table and take our order even though they weren’t busy. Our order was brought by the same guy who sat us down and then never saw our waiter until we were done eating. In my personal opinion the food was just okay.. I got the chicken fajita nachos. I also thought they were a bit pricey for just being chicken fajita nachos. My boyfriend ordered a chicken burrito but they got his order wrong. My experience at this place wasn’t very good- a bit pricey, the food is just okay and not very welcomed.

Large portions of authentic Mexican food. The waitstaff was attentive but not intrusive. We sat in the courtyard which was very pleasant. Parking right outside in the lot is convenient. My wife recommends the white wine Sangria. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Our server, Julianna, was helpful, professional and attentive. The male staff members, bus boys, were running around after each other causing a ruckus. It was very unprofessional in a restaurant and made for an irritating dining experience. Once more patrons arrived, it became a more comfortable experience. The food was tasty, abundant and fresh. The salsa was also tasty and fresh.
