Taqueria Aztlan

Just moved nearby. Husband noticed this place so on a rainy night we gave it a chance. Certainly glad we did. I have not had a real tamale since I left Texas. Cooked in the corn husk and sooo good. Enchilada was moist and so flavorful. Husband did not love his Burrito but will order differently next time. Owner is so sweet and speaks impeccable English.

The super burrito is 40% cheaper than Cosmic Cantina’s and at least that much better-​tasting (same size, too). Ambiance is authentic mercado. Owner’s kids are cute. Good English skills and menu is easy to understand. They stock half-​liter Mexican Coke, too. I haven’t tried the other dishes, I just keep coming back for fantastic chorizo burritos.

This is a small place in a hidden strip mall. If not for Unilocal/​gps I would not have found the place. It is a mom n pop kind of store cum food joint. Initially I was hesitant to try here. But I went there with colleages for lunch and had to get back to work fast. It was not a bad place at all. We ordered Tacos, Burrito and Enchilada. They all tasted decent for the money we paid. I would not go there to sit back, relax and have my dinner. I would recommend this place for lunch.

In town for baseball and learned about this place on Unilocal.It’s a mile from the Burlington Royals Stadium. Would never have found it without my GPS and still had to look twice. I’m glad I did.
Authentic Mexican food is wonderful! Ordered the avocado salad, taco, cheese enchilada, and beans. Never had better. Got the flan for dessert. The restaurant also sells Mexican grocery items. I even bought a big jar of Apple Hawthorn and some hot sauce to take home.
The food is great, the staff is nice and friendly, and the prices are more than reasonable. I’ll make sure to stop in whenever I come to this area.

I been to this taqueria dozens of times. It’s a Mom and Pop restaurant and grocery with excellent and fresh food. It’s much better than the ‘La’ chains in the area. Sometimes they get backed up due to high traffic, so I didn’t recommend it as a quick bite, but is well worth the wait. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean inside. The tacos and burritos are stellar and will fill you up.

Boy am I thankful for the Unilocal app on my phone, I would have never known this place existed without it. I was sittin’ at the Tire Center gettin’ some work done on my truck, browsing on Unilocal to see where I would go for lunch when I discovered this little jewel nearby. I’ve passed by it a bunch of times & never saw it. It’s in a shopping center about a block off the main drag (Church St.), hard to see as there is really no big sign letting you know it’s there. There is a small wooden sign by the road, but it’s barely noticeable if you’re not looking for it. There is a little Mexican market with a food truck that sits in front of this shopping center that pretty much makes it out of sight when riding by.
This is a great little place for some good authentic Mexican food. I tried the chicken & asada tacos & my favorite little Mexican treasure, a chorizo sopes. The tacos were excellent, corn tortillas topped with fresh cilantro & onions, served with radish slices & a lime wedge along with there red & green sauces, both sauces bring some good heat & spiciness. The chorizo sopes was outstanding as well, the chorizo has great flavor & spiciness & there was a good amount piled on that little sopes. I also grabbed a bottle of Sidrel Mundet (apple flavored Mexican soda pop) from the cooler, it was a very good drink, tasted just like a fizzy apple cider. They have a row of drink coolers that has a good variety of Mexican drinks along with some of your American usuals.
Along with being a taqueria/​restaurant, it’s also a small market, with all the merchandise along the outer walls, with all the tables & chairs in middle of the place & a big screen TV on one wall which was showing a Mexican soap opera, in Spanish of course, while I was in there. I saw one cooler that had some produce in it & saw a big selection of Mexican candies near the checkout counter.
This is not a fancy place by no means, but the food I had was excellent & I will return any time I’m in the neighborhood.

Great little authentic taqueria in a strip mall that sits just off South Church St. It has a dozen or so tables and pleasant staff that speak English well.
I had a couple of the lengua tacos which came street style with onions, cilantro and radish. The tongue was in larger chunks than most places, grilled until crispy outside and soft inside. Kind of reminded me of eating liver pudding as a child. The salsa picate was smoky and hot, perfect for the mild, slightly gamey taste of the meat.
I also tried one of the pupusas with chorizo. This was a slightly thicker version than ones from the nearby food truck. It was grilled to a nice crisp exterior and had good corn flavor with the traditional spicy, slightly greasy Mexican chorizo crumbles inside. It came with it’s own hot sauce and the pickled cabbage slaw that’s typical of the Guatemalan style.
My Mom had her usual gringo quesadilla and it was very large, well stuffed with chicken and cheese. It will suffice for those less adventurous souls in your party.
Besides being a taqueria, it’s also a market with food, candy, drinks and various oddities. Take a few minutes and look around, you might come home with a new hot sauce, Coke made with real sugar instead of HFCS and some interesting candy treats like we did.

This is a true Taqueria. Their carne asada is incredible. Great service, authentic California style mexican taqueria. It does not get better than this.
