El Azteca

Very good mexican food and although the place was packed, excellent service as well !! I would recommend it

Referred here by a colleague and the food and drink definitely doesn’t disappoint in terms of taste. Though for a family-​owned restaurant, it seemed to lack two common facets: portions and service. The portions for the food, especially the dinner combination plates were really rather small. Typically when you order a combination with a few enchiladas and a taco or quesadilla, it includes a big plate with rice and beans as well. Not so here.
Also — the service was really lacking. I was sitting in the bar, early in the evening, and as soon as I finished my food, one of the several servers swooped in and took my plate and replaced it with the check. Well, I was thinking of having another drink or two and watching the NFL game they’re showing, but I guess they want me to leave…
I might give it another try the next time I’m in Ames, but only if I can’t find anything else.

I ordered the Burrito California, being from L.A. I thought it was tasty. Wasn’t thrilled with the cheesy sauce and lettuce in the burrito but that’s my preference. Not bad for Iowan Mexican food. Will go back and try something else.

Really love coming here they are friendly and I have never been disappointed with the food.
