This is my go to Mexican place for delivery. Food is always delivered quickly and hot. I've had a variety of dishes and all have been exceptional. It's really hard to try new places because this place it's consistently great.

Azteca's food is always great! Super fast and super delicioso! The fish tacos are a great choice (tons of food!) but you also can't go wrong with a classic quesadilla. Not a lot of seating inside BYOB Fairly cheap

Had an amazing time here. They are BYOB so we brought in some beers and wine. I had their bacon and steak tacos which were delicious and traded one of my three for a friends fish taco which was also delicious. All the meats were cooked to perfection and matched with great vegetables.

Idk how the hell this place has so many stars, I'm in total SHOCK. Must be 20 something yr olds going here after bar crawling in Wrigleyville. This place is absolutely terrible. I just ordered a taco salad w/steak and the guy said "be there in 5 mins". Ummm, what? And NO SH*T, he was here in five minutes. I asked the driver how the hell it was so quick and he said that taco salads only take one minute to make. Now, idk about u...but I like my steak cooked fresh - NOT MICROWAVED. The steak was cold and the salad is underwhelming and lacks, well....everything. I called to complain and told them I want a hot meal, not cold steak. So I switched to a burrito. Again, 5 mins later...they're here. The tortilla was JAM PACKED with rice, about a teaspoon of meat and a shit ton of black beans. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. $20 for a small, shitty rice filled tortilla, stale chips and salsa hot enough to burn a hole through your rectum....NO THANKS. You're better off with Chipotle. At least you see them cook your food fresh.

Best fish tacos EVER. Great menu, comfortable atmosphere, food is always on the better side of excellent. Favorite taco/burrito joint after a night out drinking and also *sober* -- I think that says a lot right there. Mmm, writing this review has hit me in the craves, looks like it's what's for dinner!

I order delivery from Azteca on a weekly basis. I work nights, so it's easy to find garbage late at night when I get off work, but then Azteca came out of the mist like a burrito beacon of Mexican food glory. The real winner of the menu is the tortilla soup. Rich and savory, it eats like a magical bisque from a secret land of culinary genius. It comes with an assortment of beautiful garnish that enhances the soup, not only visually but also flavor-wise. The good always come about 30 minutes before they quote you and it's perfectly warm. Kudos, Azteca de Oro. Job well done.

Oh my goodness. We stopped here on the way home from the Addison stop and BOY OH BOY are we glad we did. It was only 10AM but let me tell you, we were missing us some good ol Mexican tacos. We were craving them so bad that we were even contemplating TB(Taco Bell) BLASPHEMY. Thank You Jesus for leading us here. We got the crispy chicken tacos which were 2 bucks and some change each. They were delicious and tasted like home. They had the perfect amount of lettuce, cheese, and even a little too much meat which was perfect for the complimentary chips and salsa they brought us to munch on before we ate. They have three salsa options: a green tangy jalepeno (I think) one, a super spicy smooth red one, and a deliciously chunky tomato onion classic chip dipping salsa. My tummy was happy and this is for sure going to be my go to spot now that it is so close and so reasonably priced. In addition, they are super nice, kind, and overall great.

You've read the reviews, here is the quick and simple. Decent food and selection, BYOB, food is prepared quickly, and they have a TV. Poor service and cleanliness, prices aren't ridiculous but they don't reflect what you get. I've had better, and will search for such. Late night after the bar, no doubt a better choice than McD's.

I only order from here online or via phone -- never have been on site. I have no faster nor more reliable restaurant from which to order. Azteca is my go-to. They are so fast (maybe because I always tip well and watch for them so they don't have to wait in the cold?), have easy online ordering, send emails for when your order is received/processed/out for delivery and great hours. My food is always good and warm. Five stars for friendly service and paying attention to order notes such as "my doorbell doesn't work -- please call me!" So good.

Joe S.

Their food would be a five star but their Mexican rice is so bland. Their dine in service is a 4 star. They do everything well, quick, friendly. Sometimes a long wait to order. BYOB. Their delivery is a 3 star. I've ordered delivery about 15 times and one of my orders was completely wrong and another order of mine got lost. Overall 4 stars...there food is too good. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

Ambrosia H.

No matter what I have ordered from here it's always so fresh and delicious. The steak is very tender and seasoned well, chicken is phenomenal. The staff is friendly. I live ten minutes away and when I get them delivered it's just as good as eating in the restaurant.

Had a terrible experience here and will never go back. I've eaten there a bunch of times and everything was fine but my most recent experience there was unacceptable. I went in there on a Sunday night not knowing that they closed at 10:30; it was around 10:20 when I walked in. The cashier told me that they were closing soon, so I didn't order the enchiladas I was going to get; I figured I'd do them a favor and just order two tacos. I saw the cashier putting the order in a paper bag and I wasn't sure if that was my order, it was my intent to eat the tacos in the restaurant quickly before they closed. When the cashier handed me the bag, I said that I intended to eat them there. It was a cold night and my friends had not yet arrived at the bar I was going to. The cashier gave me a problem about it, saying that they were closing. It was 10:23. I argued with him about it and after exchanging some nasty words, he had to let me stay. When I opened the bag, the tacos were not made to my specifications. I asked for onion and cilantro, no cheese, and the tacos were made with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. I told the cashier about this and he didn't apologize or take any responsibility for the error. If I had allowed him to kick me out, I would have left with tacos that I didn't want. I didn't even make them make them the right way, I just ate their nasty tacos and exchanged words with the cashier, and although I never cursed at him, he told me that I "could get the f--k out of here." I felt like I could have fought this guy had his coworkers not talked with him. I've never been treated like this anywhere. We all work jobs, and we all have to work until the end. If you close at 10:30, and your doors are open at 10:20, you are supposed to serve the customer, not just take their money, tell them they can't stay, and mess up their order on top of it. I don't know who their management is but that cashier was wrong all the way, and to tell a customer that they "can get the f--k out" should be grounds for firing. I will never in my lifetime set foot in Azteca de Oro.

Walked into this little place and liked the calm decor and welcomed by the waitress. She is awesome and sweet, totally attentive. Great service! I can imagine this place getting packed for they are open on Fridays and Saturdays until 5am! That's good for all the late night foodies. On a Sunday night, it's a chill night. Not many people walking in. Btw it's byob here too. My fiancÃ© had the Baja shrimp tacos. She said they were yummy in her tummy with the Chipotle sauce. I had the tacos alambre. I've never had bacon in my tacos and oh boy, does it make a difference! We shared guac and chips. The guac and salsa Verde made both of our tacos taste even better. The owner even came to our table to greet us. He's a charismatic fellow, always talking to all the guests coming and going. We will definitely come back to try other things on the menu!

Great food and great service. I usually order online and they are super fast! Love the tortilla soup and fajita salad. I also had their shrimp burrito and it was so yummy! Highly recommended.

Right down the street from Wrigley and open til 5am on weekends for post-bar munchies! The prices are spot on and the portions are perfect - not too big, not too small. Small place, so it could be packed, but worth the wait and good service. Reallllly good Mexican food!

After reading all the great Yelp reviews, finally tried Azteca de Oro. It's kind of off the main drag from Wrigleyville and easy to get to. We tried the chips and guac and split a suiza steak and pastor Azteca de Oro burrito. The food was super flavorful and pretty fresh ingredients. A note for spice lovers: the suiza sauce had a good kick and they have pretty spicy salsas. They also give chips and salsa to every table, and the horchata was pretty good as well. Our chips and guac, burrito, and horchata came to $14, not bad. Also, the guy at the counter was really accommodating and gave us good recommendations. They seemed to be swamped with delivery orders as well. All in all, tasty affordable Mexican food in Wrigleyville, I'll be back!

Once again yelp reviews did not fail me. We found this little place in our neighborhood and decided to try it out. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Small dining area but not crowded. Amazing food and you get more than you can eat for sure. I had nachos and quesadillas. Great locations, I just have no complaints at all.

Pretty good food. One of the nicer looking Mexican restaurants I have seen. I wish they had a booth to sit down at while you wait for takeout. Can get kind of awkward when are waiting and other people are sitting down eating. Meat quality is good. I wish they had specials throughout the week. Overall I would recommend

I had heard good things about Azteca de Oro so I made plans with a group of friends to meet there on a Saturday night. I wasn't expecting much more than a cheap Mexican restaurant, but it greatly exceeded my expectations. When we arrived, we were surprised how crowded it was, but the man who greeted us was very accommodating and seated us while we waited for the table next to us to open up as well. We split chips, salsa and guacamole. The guac was delish, not too smooth, not too chunky. It was also a large portion for the price compared to other establishments that charge +$7 for a small cup. All of the salsas were on the spicy side, but good. I had the fish tacos which were really good. It was a huge portion of battered tilapia with pickled red onion and salsa. It also came with a side of rice and beans. The quality and presentation of the food greatly exceeded my expectations. Others at my table had a salad, burritos, enchiladas and a tilapia bowl. Everyone was pleased with their food. The waiter was very accommodating, bringing us glasses for our beverages (it's BYOB, no corkage fee!) and replenishing our chips. The whole time we were there people were coming in getting take out, making me envious I don't live closer. I will definitely go back the next time I want cheap, tasty Mexican food!

Ah, Azteca de Oro. For several years now, you have been my go-to delivery Mexican place (and note that this review is based only on delivery since I haven't actually set foot in the restaurant). The food quality is terrific, and I could probably survive solely on their guacamole if permitted. Well, that and the outstanding tortilla soup. I also highly recommend the baja shrimp tacos, which are wonderful. Basically, yumminess abounds. In addition, I'm always impressed with their speed of delivery--even late night--and consistent friendliness when they come to my door. The only reason they're 4 stars instead of 5 is that they've had a few occasions of leaving an item off of an order. They never fail to swing back by to correct the order, though. If you need quick and tasty Mexican food delivery, there isn't a better place I've found than Azteca de Oro.

Eliz C.

I have a problem with their Azteca de Oro's tortilla soup. The problem is that I love it, in a way that makes my boyfriend and cats jealous. The other problem is that a mere cup of it delivered is so hilariously expensive. Is that enough to keep me from having it delivered to me at work once a week? No. No, it is not. I may not be able to afford a fancy vacation, but god damn it, I will have tortilla soup.

Really wanted to like this place. Good location. Menu looked good.. But our service was horrible. Perhaps our waitress was new?.. We waited over 30 minutes for a salad(!)..only to find she had forgotten to put our order in! I can forgive poor service if the food is good but this was mediocre at best. We even got cookies for dessert- and they were burnt! Oh and we were hoping for margaritas- but they don't serve alcohol. This was just not a pleasant experience.

I'm Mexican.. And I can vouch that, although catered to the local community, this place is authentic--thanks to the paisas working the kitchen. Perfect late night tacos, just make sure to ask for Corn Tortillas and you can't go wrong.

Enchiladas are amazing and fantastic steak tacos. We went there after a show at the metro, it's right across the street and the food came up fast. We will be back soon!

Alvaro R.

This place has easily won me over as far as my top Mexican spots go. I was a bit skeptical simply because i wouldn't call it fully authentic. However, the flavors are very authentic and they fuse it with some modern and fresh flavors. So far, I have gone there 6 times and all 6 times I left satisfied and surprised. I recommend the Azteca burrito, enchiladas, shrimp tacos, alambre tacos and just about anything else. Tilapia bowl is also very good!! Enjoy everyone

My review is based on delivery, and EVERY aspect was amazing! Food was delivered within 30 mins, my veggie burrito was so flavorful and filling, the horchata was delicious, the chips crunchy and fresh and everything was just all around tastey! My boyfriends steak tacos had bacon on them which he really enjoyed also! Highly recommended!!!!

This place has amazing food, but sadly I will no longer be ordering from them for delivery anymore because I am out of their delivery area. Although I appreciated a phone call after their system let me order from them I was a little taken back when told that I could still have my food delivered if I would pay $6 more. (Considering apparently I am only 1 block south out of the delivery zone I thought that was a little ridiculous) They need to fix their online ordering systems... and also give their customers a little more consideration..I won't ever order online from them because there wasn't any consideration. (Or maybe I'll just manipulate it to work for me) Wait til the delivery guy see's a non-existent tip. So again FOOD = Good, but a little too pricey. Service = Mediocre not all that great to customers when their online ordering system is the problem. They would have gotten 3-4 stars had they not asked me for more $ for delivery charges.

I love you Azteca de Oro. You know how to make a burrito just right. You've eschewed the Chipotle standard and provided Lakeview with something much more authentic, while at the same time keeping it suited to the overwhelmingly white and middle class palate that dominates the eastern North Side. The magic mostly lies in the tortilla, which makes every dish that calls for it. Thanks to Azteca de Oro, I too can know the feeling of having a loving and talented abuela who makes her own tortillas that I would swear my life upon over all other tortillas. The steak helps too, as it is perfectly tender with just the right amount of fat and seasoning along with a killer marinade. There's a huge variety of meats to choose from for your meal, but I love the steak so much that I'm too afraid to ever deviate from it. And they don't even charge extra for it. Yeah, it's just skirt steak, so they really shouldn't, but most Mexican restaurants don't seem to have this figured out. The tortilla chips are good but fairly standard, nothing to write home about. Seems like they come from a bag, which is quite a disappointment considering they could be making them like they do their tortillas. Definitely not worth paying extra for those chips, you already get a small side portion with most meals. The red salsa is pretty spicy, and the flavor kind of reminds me of sriracha. It's certainly a distinguished sauce, unlike their fairly run-of-the-mill green salsa. Though fortunately, it too is far spicier than the typical green paste that most places serve. Then there's the horchata, which tastes fantastic, is offered in very large portions, and usually earns a restaurant 5 stars just for being on the menu. It's fairly heavy on the cinnamon, without too much sugar. Their fridge also contains beloved Mexican grocery store staples like Jarritos and SangrÃa SeÃ±orial. To top it all off, they deliver within several miles for a fairly decent delivery fee ($3.50), and even take online orders. When it comes to Americanized Mexican food, this place is just perfect.

I am glad this place is in the neighborhood. I've gotten take out here twice since I moved around the corner and it was so so the first time, much better the second, pretty sure because I figured out how to order better the second time. I've had nachos both times. Their tortilla chips are good but not great. The toppings are fresh and definitely better than your average neighborhood Mexican joint on the north side. I am a huge fan of their pico and guacamole but they need to be better dispersed throughout the nachos (maybe this is better when you eat in opposed to getting take out?). The key for me was getting a side of sour cream the second time around. I did this because the ingredients are super well dispersed so you end up getting a lot of chips with nothing on them, a side of sour cream is the perfect balance to this! I may ask for salsa next time as well. As for the ambiance it is a little classier than your average spot and much cleaner! The take out service is quick which I also appreciate. All in all Azteca de Oro is good but nothing special.

I loved the Suizo Style grilled veggie burrito so much, that I ordered it on both my visits. Infused with big chunks of grilled bell peppers, onions, and covered with melted cheese and enchilada sauce. Azteca de Oro Mexican Grill, simple goodness! (offers vegan options)

John G.

Granted, I only order from this place from delivery and have had just about everything on the menu, but the biggest standout to me is their bean and cheese burrito. I don't know what it is about such a simple thing but it is a simple thing done very well. Get a spinach tortilla and some extra sour cream and it quickly will become you favorite entree. Delivery is always hot and on time. It is always refreshing to find a late night joint that actually serves quality food. If you are feeling extra fatty with your burrito, get it suiza style with cheese and enchilada sauce on top. Thank you for this establishment

Just found out about this place via Grub Hub. Have been struggling since a couple of my fave Mexican delivery places closed down but finally, this manna from heaven arrived. Super gourmet presentation, affordable and delicious. High quality ingredients. The fajitas are awesome and so are the chimichangas. This is my new fave delivery place!!!!!

This review is for delivery only. It's a rare thing that you can find a Mexican place that will deliver. I was craving Mexican one night but also didn't want to leave my apartment (no, I couldn't make anything--unless there is a dish I don't know about whose ingredients are cream of wheat, cheese, and peanut butter?). In the suburbs, delivery Mexican food is unheard of, but Yelp let me know that this place will deliver. I've ordered from here about two or three times and I would say the food is pretty good. I usually expect more flavor and heat from Mexican food, and lots of the dishes arrived rather bland tasting. I ended up having to mix salsa into a lot of the sides just to give them some flavor. The main part of the dish, tacos, burritos, or quesadillas, are very tasty, though. The delivery always came on time and was still hot when we dug in. The food doesn't wow me enough to make me want to dine in, but a Mexican place that delivers? It gets stars, lots of stars.

Over priced, poor quality food. Rice and beans were salty, tres leches was dry, and tortilla soup tasted more like marinara then tortillas. Will never order again.

This is the ONLY place I've had a non-soggy takeout/delivery quesadilla. And I even picked it up late, so it sat in the warmer for 10+ minutes. Grilled with tortilla filled with chicken, bacon, melted cheese, habanero salsa, & avocado. Can you think of any drippier, greasier ingredients? Yep. Not soggy or dripping. A+, five stars. Except 4 because that's the only thing I've tried here.

We order from this place about once a week. We have never had a single problem. Tonight we had a issue where they did not have the correct order. We ordered for 7 different people so our order was pretty big. When our food arrived there was one order missing. It was not on the receipt so I called and told them they were missing one order. I spoke to Ryan and not only did he apologize for the mistake he turned a bad situation into a pleasant one. Service like this is missing these days. I will continue to order from here and continue to eat those tacos alambre. They are the best tacos I have ever had. Thanks to Ryan and the staff at Azteca De Oro.

Open late and reminds me of authentic tacos I get at a Mexican family parties where they hire chefs (who make the tortillas by hand, grill the meat fresh, etc.). I love my cebollas y cilantro. Great post Wrigley bar crawl food. I love Taco Bell, but screw Taco Bell if I have REAL tacos. Next time, I need to try the chorizo.

Great food and great service. I order take out very often. The sopes and quesadillas are excellent. The food is flavorful but light. You wont get that greasy fast food feeling after eating here. And don't forget the Tres Leches for dessert it is absolutely amazing. The best Tres Leches I've had in Chicago and I've tried many many many places.

Ordered food for delivery that did not show up after 2 hours.. Food arrived cold and the delivery driver handed me a bag that then ripped open and the food fell on the floor. Not a good first time experience

I have tried this place only via delivery a couple of times. Each time there are all these pluses 1. Awesome fast delivery. I MEAN FAST!!! 2. food is fresh tasting, seasoned perfectly 3. Prices are decent and not over the top. Tried the Tilapia Bowl: So delicious marinated cilantro lime tilapia with veggies and rice. Tried the Shrimp and fish tacos. Both combinations were delicious. The pickled onions or type of slaw with fish tacos were delicious. Today I had the Vegetarian Enchiladas verdes. OMG delicious HAd a slice of tres leches cake too. IT was yummy. ALL in ALL great food, good service. Will have to go with my hubby in person to give it that final 5th star.!

This place is a gem! Great menu & you cannot go wrong with anything on it. The customer service is awesome as well- very attentive & so quick! Pricing is very cheap for authentic food (in my opinion). Get the fiesta bowl with shrimp & guacamole- its AMAZING! PLUS it's BYOB. Too good to be true!

I have a new favorite place to visit my friends in Wrigleyville. Instead of going to loud, douchey bars that are "restaurants" with all of the prices and none of the quality ($10 quesadillas at a faux Irish pub...all over Clark street...) - I can go HERE. Yes. The ambiance is not super exciting. There is waiter service but the restaurant is tiny and you can order at the counter for takeout. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We were the only people in the restaurant (HOW???), so we could tell when our food was being made right nearby! The guacamole is heavenly. It could be more flavorful, but it is so fresh and addicting. What I love is that you can get any burrito as a bowl, skipping the tortilla. I got a bowl with shredded chicken (maybe a bit more flavor, but that's if I'm splitting hairs), guacamole, amazing chipotle sauce, lettuce, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and other veggies. The combination was delicious and everything came together so well. The salsas are also wonderful, especially the spicy salsa roja and the earthy green tomatillo salsa. It is also cheap but quality-laden nonetheless. You can also use a 25% discount on an already cheap bill by using Yelp and checking in. I seriously need to come back here all the time.

I'm giving Azteca de Oro 4 stars instead of 5 because I've only had it once, so I can't comment on consistency, and I ordered out instead of dining in, so I can't comment too much on service/ambiance, but oh my gosh, was it good! The boyfriend and I ordered delivery from Azteca last night, and the first thing I will say is that it was fast! I placed my order on their website and within 9 minutes received an email saying it was out for delivery! Pretty good, especially for a Saturday night. We ordered the Azteca de Oro burrito with steak and the chicken enchiladas with ranchero sauce. They were both great. Just very fresh and flavorful, and the meat seemed to be good quality. They both came with rice and beans (you had to specify that you wanted the "dinner" in order to get them with the burrito), and they were really good too. I also liked that they threw in a little bag of tortilla chips because I like to scoop the rice and beans with them. We'll definitely be ordering from them or dining in again.

I am OBSESSED with their baja fish tacos - they have these crunchy pickled onions on top. Soooo good. The amount of toppings on their nachos is kind of sparse but they're still tasty. BYOB is awesome, and their delivery is pretty quick.

Alexandra C.

This is a great place to get a Mexican fix without paying a ton of money. The service isn't fantastic if you are eating in, regardless of how many people are in the restaurant at the time, so I usually do take out or delivery but it is BYOB if you do decide to dine in.

Justin B.

The carnitas quesadilla was great; the pork was tasty and the cheese was nicely overflowing. Good size, but admittedly I left a little hungry, which meant I "had" to get a triple chocolate chunk cookie at Insomnia later that night. But six of us had food and a round of nachos for $65; daddy likes cheap! BYO and very attentive service to our group rounded out the experience. I'll be back...and yes, the artwork just inside the front door is legendary.

Kyle D.

Went here because Yelp claimed it was a waiter service restaurant. Wanted something with a little more class. Unfortunately, while it did have a waiting staff, it was basically just a glorified walk up and order joint. However, with that said, the food was very tasty. They have a ton of selections and use fresh ingredients. Everything is made right there so you know it's hot and fresh. The flavors were good and both me and my buddy enjoyed our dinners ("tilapia bowl" and "nachos"). So many menu items. The price is also very cheap, which is welcoming. Even a 25% off yelp discount. The only other downside besides the unexpected atmosphere was the so-so service. Overall, great food at a great price. Atmosphere: 6/10 Service: 5/10 Food: 8/10

The food is excellent but slightly overpriced. I also wish the interior was slightly nicer considering it is one of the better Mexican places in lakeview.

SUPER FAST DELIVERY!! I use them twice per week. It's very tasty Mexican food. I have had better like Uncle Julio's but the service is very good here and fast. Plus the food is delicious. They have recipes that are not corporate and taste authentic. I have tried quite a few of their entrees and I have never been disappointed. If you want a super high end Mexican place then move on. If you want very tasty, quality food, fast service, then this is the best.

Ambrosia R.

The first time I went in, the girl who served us said "This is going to be your new favorite restaurant." I demurred, telling her I lived in a neighborhood a couple miles north, and just happened to be in the area. She smiled and said "We'll see." Turns out they're on GrubHub, and they deliver in half an hour to my house. Oh dear. I highly recommend the steak quesadillas - great use of spices. Fried plantains are also good, though it's the first time I've tried them so I don't have much to compare them to. Fish tacos were pretty darn tasty, too. Really, it's better Mexican food than I found the entire time I lived 15 minutes north of the Mexican border. I'm not sure I can think of a better compliment than that.

Cameron H.

It was late and I didn't feel like cooking. So, after offering take out/delivery, the option was Mexican. So, after looking around and wanting something new, this place was found (on Delivery.Com). After the order was placed, according to Deliver.Com, the food should arrive within an hour. After an hour and 15 min passed, I decided to call. The person who answered the phone kindly said my order was being made at that point. So, that lead me to believe that if I hadn't called, I would have been waiting longer. To me that is unacceptable regardless of how busy you are. Unfortunately, I wasn't compensated for the extended wait. The food arrived about 20 min after the call. We ordered a fish taco, a chicken taco, a shrimp taco and wings. All were delicious. If not for the late delivery, I would give this place 4 stars. If the need for Mexican takeout comes up again, I would consider trying this place once more.

Nick M.

Ordered shrimp burrito first time and they gave me a fish burrito instead. It was good, but they messed my order up. The rice is very tasty as well as the sauces. Any of their pork dishes are amazing. Love their pork, they make it perfect! This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in lakeview. They deliver very quickly.

Best enchiladas I have ever had. Nothing else compares! Tres leches cake is also very tasty!
(5)
Denise I.

We ordered delivery, and the food arrived promptly. I had the chips and guacamole along with a veggie burrito. The guac tasted fresh, and the fajita veggies were a nice addition to the burrito. However, I found the burrito to be on the dry side. My partner's enchiladas looked much tastier than my choice. We will likely order here again, but I will make a different dinner choice.

Ryan M.

I decided to try this little place for dinner last night. That was good decision #1. It was empty at about 7:45 on a Saturday, but I figured would not be dissuaded by that. That was good decision #2. The restaurant is small and looks like a grab-and-go place, with the grill right at the counter, but there are a number of small tables and a TV or two. Azteca also seemed very authentic, although I really couldn't tell you if it was not. The chips and salsa to start were great; the chips were very fresh, the salsa, too, and pretty spicy. I went with the Tilapia Bowl, which was good decision #3. I felt I should have taken a picture of the dish, it was so colorful, fresh, varied, and well-plated. But that would have been weird, and my decision not to do it was good de.... eh, I don't like this format anymore. The food was great. The fish was char-grilled, as were the vibrant vegetables underneath, the fresh avocado on top was perfect, and everything tasted terrific. The salsas they put at the table were good, but the rojas was too hot for me. (The verde was less hot.) At a mere $8.45, this was a great meal. Healthy, inexpensive, fresh (seeing a theme?), and a comfortable place. PLUS it is BYOB, if you are so inclined. I'd like to go back and try the tacos/burritos and guacamole, and if that is also as good as this first experience was, I will probably go to 5 stars.

Ross H.

My go to Mexican place for the last 4 years, ordered 2-3 times per month. I live a few blocks away and do dine in and delivery (when lazy). Why 3 stars you ask? It would be five stars, but in the last ~12 months, I've seen a modest decline in the food quality and a very notable decline in the service. I think it is under new management who might be trying to boost profitability by cutting corners in laughable ways. Dining in is where I noticed the biggest change - it used to be table service, prompt refills on drinks and chips, and metal silverware. Now you order at the counter, get crappy plastic silverware, and you're on your own if you are thirsty or run out of chips. I felt like I was an annoyance to the guy taking orders (new owner and/or manager I assume) because my order wasn't to-go. Sigh. I will still continue to order it, because even with the slump I feel they are in now, it is still great food and fast delivery. But owners, if you are listening...you are in the service industry, it might be time to focus on, you know, service. Get your **** together and bring back the Azteca I love.

Claudia M.

BYOB, an acronym that always lures me in. And the good service keeps me coming back for more. I can't believe I just found this place after living in Lakeview for a whole year! Shrimp tacos and Battered Fish tacos, a MUST try. I've had some costly shrimp and fish tacos and this place is the real deal and for cheap! They even have a YELP Check-in deal. You get a 25% off any dinner! Say what!?? For a cheapo like me, that's music to my ears. I feel guilty about taking advantage because the food is already inexpensive. I feel like I'm getting free food. Friendly staff, clean restaurant but kind of tight. If it gets busy you have to wait outside for your take-out. Absolutely cannot take advantage of their 25% of deal. I feel like I'm not paying my fair share for such good food , inexpensive and friendly service. I want this place to stay open for a long time. Great job Azteca!!!

It's not gross but it's also not good. It's not that sickening burrito with grisly meat, it's just plain and dry. The tortilla soup is the only thing worth getting. Go to a better burrito place.

Rachel R.

I have to preface my review with the fact that I was born and raised in Southern California so my expectations of mexican food are quite high. Overall decent food and service. Meat and produce seemed fresh and weren't super greasy, which was nice. Would probably stop in again if were in the immediate area.
(3)
Mandi G.

Maybe they actually read my review because the last few times I have ordered from them have been great. I also feel like I need to note that this is a CASUAL restaurant. I was eating there with a friend and a group of 2 couples who looked like they were from out of town came in and kept looking around, as if they weren't sure if they were in the right place. And one of the guys kept looking at his smart phone. Then they left. I'm sure they used the Yelp app and this popped up as one of the highest rated places in the neighborhood. It has that rating for the food, not the ambiance. There is table service, so grab a 6 pack and just go!

Jeff C.

Great casual Mexican food. Unique variety. Very fresh. Generous portions. The burritos have a nicely grilled, slightly crunchy tortilla.
(4)
Monika P.

They should specify how spicy the salsa is. I ordered the chips and salsa for takeout and it was almost inedible. I like spicy but this was just too much. Also, the trace amounts of avocado in the Azteca de Oro Burrito are so insignificant that they shouldn't even list it. Overall, unimpressed. Expected better based on the reviews.

Sarah W.

Absolutely loved the food here. Everything was delicious! I can not explain in words how glorious the fried ice cream was... After eating here for dinner and having the ice cream for desert I was beyond satisfied and I was wanting it again the following day.

BEST MEXICAN DELIVERY IN CHICAGO!!!! So now that we got that out of the way here's the deal. I have spent more than 12 years trying to find a place in Chicago that could deliver quality Mexican food. I don't know how/why it took me that long to land on this place but it is hands down not only the best quality Mexican food delivered in Chicago, it's also some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. They package things so perfectly that items like Tortilla soup or Churros which would normally transport poorly arrive in perfect condition. We've now ordered twice in 3 days just to make sure the first wasn't a fluke and to try some additional dishes. I have every intention of ordering the entire menu within the next couple of months. Burritos are phenomenal, Plantains are perfect, Churros insane and the Tortilla Soup is probably the best I've ever had. They deliver so quickly that I'm a little nervous about word getting out and clogging their system. However, the person behind this restaurant deserves the fame, deserves the success and deserves to know that they have left every other place in the dust. Large companies like Potbelly, Jimmy Johns, Papa Johns who should have delivery down to a science, ought to pay a $500,000 consulting fee to Azteca de Oro to improve their operations. In a world where McDonalds discontinues Hot Mustard Sauce (the one thing that made their shat hole tolerable) and Potbelly takes 2 hours to deliver a Sandwich via a stupid hipster on a bike, I thank you Azteca de Oro for giving me hope that a passion for good food and speedy delivery is still alive in America. Love you forever.

Used to like this place but during a recent visit their customer service was not good and the food seems over priced especially since its more of a fast food place than a sit down restaurant.

Ramya P.

Good good food... This is a small mexican joint that serves good authentic mexican food at an extremely reasonable price. My favorite were the tostadas. The veggie bowl has tofu and spicy sauces that make it seem like an asian stir fry. Their guac is fresh and oh-so delicious. Loved the fried ice cream and churros too. The meal left me satisfied and can't wait to gobble more guacamole here soon...
(4)
James P.

Please note...this review has nothing to do with the food. I've ordered from here a lot of times, and the food is great. The problem I had the last time was when they took the delivery order, the person on the phone didn't listen and sent my food to the wrong address. When I called back, I was specifically told they would send fresh food and ironically it arrived 10 minutes later and everything was cold and soggy. The manager said he would credit my credit card back so I wouldn't have to pay. So, not only did I get cold soggy food, but also got charged for it. I've called and spoken to the manager on several occasions, but nothing happened. I used to love the food here, but I think they've gotten too busy to handle the volume. Buyer beware!

This is my go-to Mexican restaurant for take out and delivery, because it meets these seemingly simple requirements: 1. Delicious, authentic food 2. Fast delivery 3. Inexpensive prices Let me break those down a bit more: 1. I tend to get enchiladas when I have Mexican food, so I usually get the pollo enchiladas, which are served with rice and beans, but I've also tried their tacos and one of their big burritos. My boyfriend likes their guacamole, and the small serving is more than enough for him. Everything we've had so far has been tasty and well prepared, and the servings are massive. 2. I have never had delivery this fast before. Granted, I live relatively close, so I would expect them to be fairly quick, provided they are not backed up. That said, it often feels like I have barely hung up the phone and the delivery guy is ringing my buzzer. It is fantastic. 3. It's reasonable for what it is. Sure, it's not Taco Bell cheap, but two people can easily eat for $20-25. For me, this is as good as it gets for a fast food delivery Mexican spot, and that gets it five stars. This does not make it fine dining, by any means, but if you're looking for a delicious burrito delivered to your door within ten minutes or less of ordering, this is the place.

This place reminds me of Rockin' Taco, which is now closed, but it used to be my favorite Mexican place. It's actually more California Mexican style, if that's even the proper term. I ordered the Fire-Grilled Quesadilla, which came with a side of guac and sour cream. It was really good! Lots of cilantro, and bacon! It didn't come with rice and beans, which was kind of a bummer, so I ordered a side of each. They were pretty tasty though. Big portions, too. We got delivery, and it was on time, so no complaints there. The only thing was the price tag. It was just a little on the high side since the entrees didn't come with rice and beans. I think the taco dinner did, but the chimichanga entree didn't. But, I think in the end I'd rather pay for good tasting food than settle for cheap, greasy bad food.

I was looking for a good, hearty meal after a Cubs night game and I didn't want bar food. I'm a paleo-style eater and Mexican food tends to be a good fallback when dining out, so I was more than pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this little restaurant. It was just after 10p when I peeked inside with my girlfriend and saw that no one was inside. It said they were open until midnight on the door, but it looked like they were closed. My girlfriend was about to walk away when I saw someone in the kitchen and I pulled on the door. It was open and they were happy to serve us. I had the Azteca Fajitas, an they were great! Living in SoCal, I have a pretty high standard for Mexican food, so I really was pleasantly surprised with what they served here. I hope more people stumble into this place because I want this business to be there when I'm back in Wrigleyville!

Dan H.

Hands down the best Mexican food in lakeview. Not only are all the ingredients very fresh, but you can see the options here are much healthier then traditional Mexican food. It is my go to place to order for late night delivery, or hungover food the next day. Well, it would be great regardless the time of day. Highlights are the shrimp burrito and tacos. Tastes delicious and the shrimp items come with a special sauce that makes the shrimp dishes stand out from everything else.

Marshall M.

We recently stumbled upon this place getting delivery one night....and let me tell you! THANK GOODNESS WE DID!!!! As most of you are probably aware, there is NO shortage of Mexican places to order from. However, there is a SERIOUS shortage of actually GOOD Mexican places to order from. So we were very happily surprised when we took a chance and got food one evening. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty and the delivery was quick and the driver friendly. We ordered a second time just a couple of days later....and had the same experience! Bravo! We will be ordering more great stuff from here SOOOON!!!!! :)

Dined there for the second time in two weeks with my husband last night because we couldn't stay away. This place is GREAT! I'm so glad I discovered it through Yelp. The food is really fresh and the ingredients are high quality. It's nice to find a Mexican place where you don't have to be halfway questioning the ingredients. The food at Azteca is always flavorful, fresh and good quality. They do a bustling takeout and delivery business--the guys in the kitchen are always busy! They also have 5-7 tables for dine-in but it's pretty casual--no tablecloths or anything, although you can BYOB. We have had the fire-grilled quesadilla, the fish tacos, the cochinita pibil, the tacos alambre (with ribeye, bacon, poblano pepper and melted cheese), and the loaded burrito. All have been great! My favorites might be the fire-grilled quesadilla (huge! enough for an entree for 1 person if you wish), the fish tacos, the burrito and the alambre tacos, in that order. Be aware that their food definitely has spice and kick, so if you really want things mild, you should ask for that. The funny thing is, we had dinner at Rick Bayless' Topolobampo earlier this week, and I think we both commented that we got more enjoyment out of our casual meal at Azteca than at Topolo. The food was great and it was an excellent value. This will be our go-to quick Mexican place from now on.

I was scouring the web for mexican delivery, specifically nachos, and did the ol' delivery.com and yelp crosscheck and azteca won out. good call michelle m! the nachos were yum yum yummmmy! friend got the grilled chicken burrito in whole wheat which was also quite tasty. yet different than expected....some cilantro and "health" taste in there. but definitely BETTER than chipotle. the horchata was also mmmmmm good. and came in a ginormous plastic coke cup (think fast food super size) which was a bonus because i'm somehow* out of cups. and we appreciated the bonus little bag o chips and salsa sides. free delivery, super nice driver, took around an hour or so. worth the funds. *they may or may not have broken/been thrown away because i couldn't be bothered to wash them

Food is just fine, passable Mexican grub. But the last 2 times I got food to-go they got my order wrong or forgot items altogether. I'd let this go if they had been busy at the time but I was the only person in there. Get it together, guys.

Rob R.

Thanks Yelp for helping find a 5-star Mexican restaurant while visiting Wrigley Field. Nothing spectacular, but well worth the two-block walk and $20 bill. The salsa is some of the finest I've encountered and the guacamole is well worth checking out. A little disappointed in the chips, but hey, who's perfect these days? The limited seating tells you this place is more of a take-out establishment, but the food is well worth checking out.

Excellent service and wonderful food! What more can I say? We had taco salad, baha fish tacos, and a baha fish burrito, along with a side of guac and chips. All were excellent and the guacamole was a very generous portion size. The server made us feel very appreciated. Will be back when we are in the area.

awesome mexican food. got delivery: fast and still hot. conchinita pibil was absolutely amazing! loved the plantains and guac, not to mention the pickled onions. the fajitas were decent, but probably better sticking to the tacos. looking forward to trying the tostadas, which i always love! probably some of the best mexican delivery i've had here ;)

I love the Baja Fish Burrito. We usually get our food delivered, and the delivery has always been the right order, delivered in reasonable amount of time. The restaurant itself is a little bit more on the humble side, but it's clean and the staff are very nice. Not a first date place, but an excellent place to escape the Cubs rush.

I went into this place because it was BYOB and I didn't want to pay bar prices in the area. I wasn't expecting much, but the tacos were really good, and I appreciated the free chips and salsa. I will be back here next time I go to a show at the Metro.

Had a GREAT delivery.com experience here. Interesting menu, more so than a lot of the standard Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood. I ordered Garlic Lime Shrimp Fajitas, and the tortilla soup. Took a little longer than my stomach wanted, but not excessively long. Food arrived and I was impressed. Every item was packed with care. The soup was almost too hot to eat. It came with a clamshell holding avocado, tortilla strips (to keep them crispy), shredded cilantro, shredded cheese and sour cream - all the garnishes for the soup. The fajitas arrived in a large styrofoam clamshell. Main course in the main compartment, black beans and spanish rice in the two smaller compartments. Accompanying it was another clamshell with pico de gallo, guacamole, a little cheese and sour cream, all the garnishes for the fajitas. Also two salsas - one red, one green. And a foil wrapper full of tortillas. Five in fact. Food was tasty, although the rice and the salsas were a little less flavorfull than I would have liked. However, everything was fresh and appetizing... a great first experience. I look forward to trying other items on their menu.

This place was phenomenal. Normally I don't care for Mexican cuisine because it's generally too greasy and leaves me feeling gross rather than full. Not so with Azteca de Oro. The food was SO FRESH, it repeatedly blew my mind how tasty the ingredients were. Hardly any grease, just delicious fresh food full of flavor. I got the three taco dinner and I was STUFFED. The burritos are fairly priced and from the looks of other patrons orders, were huge. I can't wait to come back to this place, I've finally found a Mexican restaurant I love! Go here if you get a chance. Don't let the smoke shop next door deter you. Azteca de Oro is divine!

Krista O.

This place is delicious! I've only ordered them from Foodler. I have loved every dish from here so far. I have to say it's the freshest Mexican food ever. I have had their Taco Salads and they are great. The Taco shell is perfectly crisp and the ingredients like the black beans just taste overall so fresh. Their Guacamole is.... AMAZING.... Order from them for carry out or delivery they are great always on time. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed, it will become your favorite new place. If you want to just get an order of Guacamole sometime I urge you to try it.. Thanks Azteca De Oro!

Excellent first experience here. We were the only ones there for the most part, service was friendly, chips and salsa were very tasty. I judge all mexican joints by enchiladas first thing. So i got them all right, and damn, they were really tasty. I'm looking forward to trying out other things on their menu, cause they look really good.

Yummy yummy tacos. I've ordered from here twice in the past week and am super happy with this place. Fish tacos are delicious, but I like ordering the taco dinner where you get three different kinds, just to change it up. If your order is over $10 you get 10% off on their website - but there's also no minimum! (Take that, grubhub places that make you order $25). Delivery is unbelievably quick. I placed my order at 6:30 and the guy is at my door at 6:45. How does that even happen!?!? I'm perplexed and amazed at the same time. Solid delivery option: quick (!), cheap, and delicious.

I ordered delivery online from here last week using Foodler.com and it was a great deal. Only a $10 min. and a huge menu to choose from. I went with the Azteca de Oro Mexican cartinas burrito bowl. If you order through Foodler there is a 25% discount coupon on your first order. Delivery was on time, the bowl was big and everything was packages nicely. Also got the Guac and chips as a side and they were very good.

I've tried Azteca three times now. While I have had good food from here, I have also had horrible food from here. Normally, I get the chili rellenos. First time, they were excellent. Second time, passable. Third time, tough as leather. Burnt. Cold. Yecch.. I have had tortas here as well. Once good, once OK. All in all I would rate them inconsistent. I won't eat from here again.

Awesome food! They never disappoint and I've been ordering since they opened (2 years ago!) The owners/workers are very friendly and the restaurant is very clean. Everything is very tasty and they also offer healthy menu items to choose from!

Ordered from here yesterday for the first time. We ordered the steak quesadilla, chips and salsa and the tacos alambre. The steak quesadilla was perfect. Good amount of cheese and the steak in it was tender and it wasn't greasy at all. My boyfriend had the tacos alambre. He liked it, however he said he wished the meat had some flavor to it. He liked how they had bacon and cheese and a special sauce on it. The salsa that came with the chips were also very good. We got all that food with tax and tip for $19. We were first time customers and they gave us a 25% discount. The delivery was also very fast. We got our food hot and in 30 minutes. Definitely will be ordering from here again. I want to try the shrimp tacos!

This place gets 5 stars because I can now order fish tacos for delivery that are actually fantastic. We ordered for lunch, and the delivery was prompt and the food wasn't a mess when it arrived. I loved the slaw and pickled onions that topped the tacos. The lime wedge on the side was a nice plus. My boyfriend inhaled his "the works" burrito although it was quite large, and we shared a steak taco and chips 'n' salsa. The salsa was spicy and very fresh tasting. The steak taco would have been better on a flour tortilla; alas, I am not a fan of corn tortillas in general. We also got the queso fundido, but never got to it because we were so full. It will be a nice late-night snack. Definitely ordering again!

It's good not great. A bit pricey but I imagine the rent is high in that location. If your going to a Cub's game and what good Mexican food near the stadium this is a good choice.

Fish tacos are ok. Mercadito much better and I think about the same price. Good delivery mexican spot but thats about it. I'd never go there to eat.

Geographic proximity helped in getting me to try this place. I live around the corner in the Wrigley area and to look at it from the street (next door to a head shop) it doesn't exactly impress from afar. But don't let the cover judge this book. Traditional nature and styling of Mexican with the usual gringo favorites on the menu. I order it for delivery all the time and it never disappoints. Everything is fresh and tastes great. The tacos are always a big hit in our house. I prefer the traditional soft corn tortillas, but you can get them any style, with whatever kind of protein and garnish you prefer. I personally think the skirt steak fajitas are the best thing on the menu. They have about 6-8 tables inside to dine-in. Very clean and it's BYOB. Given the parking lot hawks at the Taco Bell down the street by Wrigley and the fact that it's a TACO BELL...it's easy to want to avoid the mass market offerings in the area. So take a few minutes to walk North on Clark to Azteca and indulge in the real deal.

I was totally shocked to see so many 3 star reviews. After having Azteca's shrimp tacos and chips and salsa, I swore I'd never go anywhere else for a taco fix. And I haven't. I swear they have the freshest tasting and best spiced food. I'm getting hungry for it right now.

Best Mexican delivery I have found! Their burritos are amazing! And when we asked for a lot of substitutions on one burrito, they were very nice and accommodating. Good food, polite service, and free chips with every order.

This was a great neighborhood find! I thought the food was fresh, healthy and cooked to order! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was super clean. I'll come back often. Lots of great vegetarian options, too.

Pretty good tacos. Chorizo- tasty, slightly cinnamon flavor. The special carnitas braised in something that come in a 3 pack- outstanding. There were two other types of carnitas and I can't remember which was absolutely bland and which was my absolute favorite. I think it's the al pastor that was bland and the regular carnitas that was amazing. Only real complaint is that their taco corn tortillas are subpar in flavor/quality/texture.

Kate S.

I have only ordered from here, never been to the restaurant, but the delivery is fantastic. I have to say that the fish tacos are incredible. The fish is fried, but it's topped with pickled red onions, which make the tacos really crisp and refreshing. Mmm. I just love them. The tres leches cake is really good too. And unlike some Mexican places, there are a lot of good vegetarian options. My husband, however, is not a fan of the beef there. Too chewy, and a bit too much gristle.

Kim A.

I'm going to be perfectly honest. The only time I've ever eaten here was after the Cubs game yesterday... a bachlorette party Cubs game. Needless to say, we were a bit drunk and craving tacos. This was the first place we saw, and were NOT disappointed. We were given guac on the house, which was chunky and flavorful. I ordered the Baja Fish Burrito bowl. Excellent! The tilapia was battered and cooked crispy. The cole slaw was light and fresh, and had great flavors. I definitely would come back here... sober...
(3)
Beavis M.

I got to set the record straight. This place has come a LONG way since they first opened and have really perfected their menu. They have added some great sandwiches (their Cubano is INSANE) and their burritos and nachos are good too. Highly recommended!

christina c.

The Baha burrito is AMAZING!!!! The service was GREAT!! The interior looks like any other small mexican restaurant but the food was amazing. Me and my bf both agreed that we would come back anytime for the Baha Fish burrito/tacos. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!!!

I ordered from Foodler and picked this place because they offered a 25% coupon. I had a three-pepper burrito with chicken, chips and salsa, and the flan. With the coupon and tip, it came to under $15, and they delivered in less than 45 minutes. The food was awesome--the burrito was perfectly seasoned, the chicken was tender, and the veggies were still slightly crisp. The spinach tortilla was fresh, too. I had guacamole with it, and it was also fresh and tasty. The salsa was heavy on the cilantro and pretty spicy, but still great. Up until this point, I was giving the restaurant a solid four stars. And then I tried the flan. First of all, it's clearly homemade--not some store-bought, still-shaped-like-the-ridged-plastic-container stuff. This is rich, decadent, creamy-but-firm...absolutely fabulous. It came with a little container of strawberry sauce, but don't you dare let that fruity sludge touch the flan! The flan is perfect as is, and catapults the restaurant into 5-star status.

Jim O.

Azteca de Oro isn't the best Mexican in the city but for what its worth it's a quick cheap place to get a good burrito. Service is friendly and they always make your food to order on the grill. One big positive is that chips and salsa are included in every order (dine in or take out) so that's pretty nice too. Overall a good neighborhood place to grab a bite.

I have never actually been to this restaurant but we have ordered lunch for the office on several occasions and the food has never disappointed. It is our new "go to" place and they deliver! Love the tortilla soup!

Kristin L.

Wrigleyville's newest Mexican place can definitely satisfy late-night-drunken-mexican-food-cravings, but it's far from the best. The prices are decent, service is relatively quick, and it's a welcome alternative to the hotdogs, burgers, pizza and sports bars that the rest of North Clark has to offer.
(2)
Dan B.

Very solid hole in the wall Mexican spot on Clark St. right around the corner from Wrigley. Their guac was delicious and the skirt steak fajitas were near perfection. I had a couple bites of the quesadilla which was also very good. Very reasonable prices and byob to boot.

so ive been avoiding eating food from the ballpark and mcdonalds, so i went for a walk during the cubs game and got the blt for azteca. there isnt a better place in the city for grilled chcicken blt.....no place! yes the fries suck, but their BLT is amazing.

Paul D.

I give stars for value delivered. Value, meaning, for the money spent, the relative worth of what I bought. By that metric, I'd say, Azteca de Oro hit a home run with us. Wonderfully fresh, flavorful food, ordering was a breeze online, delivered really fast, and when we did call with a question (first time customers), the gent that answered the phone was exceedingly amiable, did a great job on answering our couple of questions. Not much more to say, for us - our new find for when we've got the joneses to obliterate the pang.

I just threw away the remains from what I was able to digest and I can swear to you that I'll never order from Azteca de Oro again! I have ordered from them before and always the same thing (chili rellenos) and never had this experience before. But this experience was so terrible. I ordered extra avocado (paid extra for) and didn't get any at all (they have forgotten to place this in my order before). So I was bummed but was still looking forward to my food. First of all, it was all luke warm. The sauce on the Chili Relleno was bitter and unrecognizable. The cheese tasted a little sour and was not even melted (perhaps because the whole dish was not even that warm). I took a bite and was not able to continue. I thought I can even eat around the cheese and just focus on the pepper but that disgusting sauce wouldn't allow me. So I had their sides, beans and some rice, which Taco Bell could have made better. NEVER will I order from these people again!!!

Heather P.

You know what a taste for Mexican, grubhub and a desire to pay the least amount possible for a delivery charge gets you??? Mediocre food from Azteca de Oro, that's what. I'll start with the good...the salsa. It tasted fresh and had a bit of a kick. Now for the bad. The mole is pasty and not the least bit interesting. The enchiladas were basic and I had to pay an additional $2 for cheese on top - say what? that isn't standard? Whatever, I love cheese. The rice is completely bland. The "crispy" flautas were missing the crisp - I do realize that could happen when you are getting your food delivered, but in my measily opinion, if you know that could potentially alter the quality of your product don't offer it on a take out menu. Could it have been worse? Sure, but it also could have been a lot better!

Noah E.

Stopped by for a quick bite while in the area. Quick counter service, friendly staff. The food was reasonably priced for the size and tasted good for the type of restaurant it is. If you want a small, order and pay at counter type of establishment, this is the place.
(4)
Michael B.

I had the nachos, which I'd recommend. Whether home-made or store bought, their guac is excellent. I felt the nachos a little overpriced for what I actually got, but service was attentive and of course, the food was great.
(3)
Shawn R.

I would normally give Azteca four stars; great enchiladas, burritos, their nachos and chips and salsa are always good but I'm just annoyed by something today: Seven f'in' dollars for a cafeteria-small-sized cup of tortilla soup? That's only 3/4 filled? C'mon. Tapatio, which we alternate ordering from, has a similar (thinner broth, but a bit tastier over all) soup that comes in a goddamned bucket with rice on the side for the same price. The wife and I can split and be full on that alone. I hope they adjust either the size or the price soon because I always want the soup but then I'm just bitter at the price. I shouldn't be bothered with cheap serving sizes when I'm dropping north of $50 on delivery for two. Everything else is solid, and they're the fastest delivery Mexican available up here, but I'm really cheesed off about this soup thing.

Dana O.

Great nachos, they are salty and delicious. The guacamole is fresh and has tomatoes mixed in with it, giving it little crunch and slightly richer flavor. Delivery comes fast and the food is always fresh. Mexican food is always an iffy delivery food because sometimes it is soggy and is only lukewarm by the time it is delivered. Azteca de Oro does not have this problem, and I don't live close by so I was initially worried that I would be getting cold food. Cheap and fast delivery, and the meats they use (especially the chicken) are great quality. I definitely recommend.
(4)
Bri A.

Since my last review a few years ago, I have ordered from here numerous times. Delivery is always quick and the food is hot and fresh. The mole is decent and curbs my cravings. I usually get the fish tacos, tacos racheros or the Azteca De Oro burrito. The burrito reminds me of Chipotle, except it's a little cheaper and you don't have to spend $2 extra for guac on it!

Mucho Guston Azteca De Oro!!! Our journey started on a cold and windy Friday night the weather was not good but we knew exactly how to improve things and set out for Mexican and BYOB margaritas. The idea was good but the plan did not go as smoothly as planned the place we where off to had no parking and after circling the blocks 4 or 5 times we decided to pull out our trusting Iphone with its Mexican BYOB radar and find another place to enjoy our Friday night. Beep Beep Beep.... 3731 N Clark St Chicago, IL 60613 Azteca De Oro was the place it was sending us to. This place is just north of Wrigley field so its not that easy to find parking but luck was on our side unlike my Chicago Cubs and we found a spot pretty fast and close to the restaurant. The letters BYOB were plastered on the window some great letters to see. Azteca De Oro is a small place with the kitchen and service counter right in the middle of the restaurant you can smell the aromas of Mexican food as you walk in and they smell good. There are only about 6 or 8 tables and a self service soda fountain for the non drinking folks which we are not. We sat down and asked the server asked if we needed a drink we asked for some glasses with ice and she brought some real nice steam bowl shaped glasses. The nice glasses were not what we expected but a very pleasant surprise we pulled out our mobile margarita factory and poured away, ahhhhhh!!!! A quick glance at the menu and all they offer all the basics plus more at more then reasonable prices. We first ordered the queso fundito it came out bubbly hot with chorizo and peppers woven in the cheese and a side or tortillas to roll your own. The dish was very good and enough for 4 to share a solid app and always a good start for Mexican. There are 8 or 10 different kind of taco fillings and we had 3 two different pork and one steak the pork filling was my fav as the steak was more ground up not pieces of steak the toppings where crisp and fresh. The dinner comes with beans and rice 3 tacos for 8.50 pretty good deal. We will explore the menu more the other dishes we saw coming out looked great. The presentation and plating of the food was nice not slop on a plate but neat garnished not what I expect at a small somewhat take out looking place. We ended with churro fried doe served with chocolate sauce and whipped cream and a cool swirl of raspberry on the plate made it look pretty. They also had fried Ice cream we will try that also looked good and make for a happy ending. The service was great and prompt and they cater to BYOB bringing glasses and ice or a bucket to keep wine or beer cold. The only negative is it probably is crazy when the cubs are playing but all in all Azteca De Oro hit it out of the park GRAND SLAM.

Kristy K.

Tried the Baja Fish Tacos and they were fabulous! Never thought I would be so satisfied with fish tacos delivered. They are awesome! Azteca de Oro continues to provide high quality, fresh food. You can't get better. Ahhh, the Cochinita Pobil crosses my mind multiple times, daily. Hence, why I am randomly updating. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their habanero sauce that comes accompanies the pork. My god, it is so addicting. Oh, and my goodness try their horchata. Perfect. Seriously, one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. This is a hidden gem. What happened to your lunch menu, Azteca? Boo. I still love you.

I've been here several times and the food is pretty good as well as the prices. I've dined in and ordered to go. The place is pretty small and intimate inside and I believe it is byob. The items I have enjoyed are the fish tacos guacamole and chicken tacos. The service is good and the ordered are made on the grill in eye view rather quickly. I would recommend this place if you are in the area craving Mexican food but would not advise anyone to travel out of their way.

YUM! This place is really good! We walked in at at freakin' 11:40ish on a Thursday night because the Red line was doing some sort of construction that left only 1 track open for 3 or 4 trains going in both directions... go figure. The workers though, were nice and let us order and eat there. Although, the guy who took our order, cleared our place settings after we sat down and asked us if we were eating there. Uh, yes we are. I understand though. By this time it was 11:50PM and they were still making our food. It's ok. We showed them. We eat fast :) So we got the tortilla soup, which was AWESOME. I've never had tortilla soup before, but I can tell you it was great and hit the spot on a cold, rainy Chicago night. The soup itself wasn't salty AT ALL and the freshly fried tortilla chips on top went great with the soup. At the very bottom were avocados. Hah. I could also taste the freshness of the cilantro in the soup. Mmmmm. I can just taste it now! We also ordered the fish tacos that everyone raved about. I have never had a fish taco. *Gasp* I know. But yes, never. It was good. Nicely fried and had this good cabbage slaw that went on top of it. The pilaf it came with though, passable. All in all a great meal and we were out by 12:04AM!

Daniella M.

Love this place everything is always fresh!! Great food service and very friendly staff that greets you as you enter the door. Some things are more Americanized for the neighborhood. Also they have deserts too love the fried ice cream everyone should try it out. Alot of people for lunch are from the area for the Cubs stadium which seemed like a good majority of the customers come check them out!!!

Jacky W.

This place was so unbelievably good. I absolutely love Mexican and this place was the best that I've had in Chicago. It's a rather casual decor (though that didn't stop us from wearing our "going out" clothes). The service was very nice and friendly - we brought a bottle of wine and our waitress brought a bucket of ice for us to put it in! You start with chips & spicy salsa. I had the chicken fajitas and my friend had the conchinita pibil - both were fresh and extremely flavorful. I will be going back ASAP.

Louise Z.

Hate Wrigleyville, but love Azteca. My friends always rave about this place so when I had it for the first time, I finally understood why. Food is hot, not greasy and really fresh. I've only been once or twice but if I traveled more frequently to the area, I would probably go more. It's also BYOB which is always fun!

David C.

Pleasantly surprised. It appears, from the outside, to be just another one of the "hole in the wall" mexican joints that dot the city. But, this place stands out. It's a very clean, well maintained dine-in restaurant. It's a little small and lacks the ambiance of larger more expensive restaurants. BUT, the food is totally on par with more upscale mexican places; for example - Adobo Grill. Ingredients are fresh. Prices are very reasonable. It's BYOB which I love. But, I miss not having a margarita. Can I bring a pitcher of margaritas with me? Service is very friendly and attentive. Their website is also very good. You can order online.

Whenever we have a taste for Mexican food, Azteca is the first place that comes to mind. I've been their customer over 3 years. Their delivery, takeout, and dine in are all impressive! Our fave dishes are the tilapia bowl, the carne asada, the tres quesos enchiladas and of course the guacamole! Btw we always have great conversations about Cubs history with their staff when we dine in. Great Mexican place!

Reggie P.

So Azteca de Oro placed menus all throughout my apartment building a couple months ago, but I've neglected to order from them. Until now, Azteca de Oro offers cheap, quality Mexican food at affordable prices. At first I was expecting a glorified Chipotle, Habanero Grill or Burrito Beach since it didn't seem like an authentic Mexican place, yet the quality of the food surpasses these chains! Excellent corn tortilla rolls, tacos had a nice blend of queso fresco and had the option to choose three different types of tacos for their dinners! Best of all, delivery in 15 minutes (and I live about 3/4 mile away). Will be my go-to Mexican food place in the Lakeview area!

Arlene A.

Azteca has changed quite a bit since my last review, and not for the better. I understand every business wants to turn a profit, but if it's at the expense of fresh food and proper portion sizes... it won't turn out well. We used to order from Azteca at least once every other week, the quick delivery and tasty food was a great last minute option when we didn't want to cook. Lately, not so much. I've received tres leches cake that was 10 days old! I knew this because the "made on" date was on the bottom. Oh, and by the way, not a fan of the attitude I got when I called to let them know about it. The sides of rice and beans have gone up over a buck, and don't get me going on the new policy of no french fries with the torta's. Getting a child sized handful of stale tortilla chips does not constitute getting the job done. So disappointed to have to find another local go-to for take-out Mexican.

Excellent and authentic Mexican food! I can't believe I had not visited this place earlier. My favorite thing was the variety of spicy salsas, which are so difficult to find in lakeview. I recommend to Cochinita Pibil entree.

Roy G.

Not the most authentic mexican joint, but it's really good for a chicago place. I got the wet burrito, and it was massive. The carne asada was really good inside it, and they had some salsas without cilantro as an option. Bonus for cilantro-haters!
(4)
Mironda R.

Looks can be deceiving! This place may not have a fancy art deco layout but it has some top notch food and worth a wait to eat it fresh off the heat! Me and my friend started with the Empanadas de Camaron - corn masa turnovers stuffed with marinated shrimp, served over green tomatillo sauce and they did not disappoint. For the main dish, I ordered the quesadillas and my friend ordered the burrito. Both were mahvelous and filling! I can't wait to get back or at least order in!
(4)
Patricia R.

Went here for the first time - authentic Mexican food. Better then all the surrounding restaurant I have checked out. Plus its very reasonable. The owner let me try all their different sauces they use for their food. Taste was supreme. Will definitely be there to try their other dishes.

Jelena Z.

Burritos? Yes, they will do. Tacos? Mhm. Just okay. Steak sandwich? Not so good, not at all... the steak was sub-par, the bread unextraordinary and the lettuce? Brown, warm and wilted. And, the pepper jack cheese wasn't even melted. Hello, melted cheese make everything better. Sad face! The nicest delivery people in the world work here! However, there are much better Mexican restaurants on the area... finding ones that deliver is the problem, however.

D D.

We have tried at least 15 mexican places in and around lakeview/wrigleyville/lincoln park and every time we just keep coming back to Azteca. The azteca burrito is the best and pretty much only good item we have tried on the menu(i love chicken she loves shrimp). This place could really blow up if their chips and salsa were better and the rest of the menu were a little better. Update: some days the food is better than others and we have had a couple of not so good azteca burritos lately, wish it were a little more consistent.
(4)
Jason T.

I've walked past this place a few times and decided to order based upon the good reviews, menu and proximity to home. I was not disappointed. I was also pleasantly surprised as when they said as soon as possible for delivery they meant it. 10-15 minutes after I ordered my food already arrived. I was unsure if the crispy tacos would still be crispy but they sure were. Everything was delicious and I've never had delivery arrive so fast and on a Saturday night nonetheless. I will be returning to try more off of their yummy menu. The food was delicious and had a great presentation. I don't normally make reviews but I felt compelled.

Nadine P.

This place has really great authentic mexican food for really reasonable prices!! After working in a very authentic mexican restaurant for nearly 2 years, I can be very skeptical of "authentic" mexican, but this place is great! Don't get me wrong, the menu is supplemented with some americanized and tex-mex alternatives, but their authentic dishes are on point! My boyfriend and I were in town for the Chicago marathon and we came here twice during the weekend! For starters the free chips and salsa are a nice starter. The salsa is DELICIOUS! It is on the spicy side, but we love spicy food so it wasn't a problem. The chips weren't great, but they served as a great transportation device for tons of the delicious salsa. We started off with the guacamole and a taco each. The guacamole was great--perfect balance of salt, lime, and spice, but again, it would have been better with different chips. I had the chorizo taco on a corn tortilla and it was great. Really loaded with chorizo! My boyfriend had the carnitas pibil and it was amazing! The pork was slow cooked in this delicious sauce!! For an entree I opted for the chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. The chicken inside was nicely seasoned and not dry, and the salsa was great! It was much spicier than any other verde I've tried, but the heat did not overpower the taste of the cilantro and tomatillos. On visit 2 I opted for the fish tacos after reading all the reviews. They are really good, very fresh, and they don't skimp on the fish! I couldn't even finish all 3! The prices were extremely reasonable and the service was very friendly and helpful on both of our visits. I wish I had more time in Chicago to try even more of the menu!!

Have lived within two blocks of Aztecz for the last 5 years and this is my go-to place for Mexican. Food is great, staff is very friendly, remembers you and your order as regulars. Definitely bring our out-of-town guests here when they come to visit. Favorite dishes - torta cubana sandwich, chicken flautas, and of course the taco lunch special is great deal.

Azteca de Oro was a welcome surprise! My wife and I found ourselves in Wrigleyville looking for a quick somewhat healthy lunch. We are always suckers for Mexican restaurants, and we decided to visit Azteca de Oro after reading other reviews on Yelp. I am so glad that we did! The Tres Peppers burrito with shrimp was outstanding! The flavors were fresh and the shrimp tasted great! My wife's steak burrito was just as delicious. Free chips and salsa are always a plus! The service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance leaves a bit to be desired, but I did like the open kitchen. Well done!

Danielle A.

We've been in Chicago for nearly 7 years, and we've spent most of that time looking for a "go-to" Mexican restaurant. Trust me, we've exhausted a ton of options. Then, we found Azteca de Oro. We were up late on a weekend and went to GrubHub to find a spot to eat. Azteca was delivering until very late and we figured, "Why not give it a shot?" The rest, as they say, is history. We live in Andersonville, and I'm not sure how we missed this Wrigleyville spot for so long. Though, I'd rather not think about that. Our lives are divided into two eras: B.A.D.O. and A.A.D.O. (before & after ADO). We order from here at least once a week. We've tried a lot of stuff, but we have our favorites: chicken nachos (the chicken isn't the bland dry stuff you usually find, it's moist and flavorful), fish tacos, flautas, steak tacos, and we never place an order without the tortilla soup--it's some of the best I've ever had. Aside from the delicious food, the care they put into delivery really is what hooked us. The tacos come individually wrapped so they don't get soggy. The soup has sides of fresh avocado, crisp tortilla strips and cheese--all packaged individually. The vegetables are always fresh, and ADO manages to avoid the trap so many casual Mexican restaurants fall into--serving homogenous piles of like-colored menu items with ingredients that are difficult to identify. This is REAL food.

Jeff G.

I'm assuming Azteca is great when dining in. With all the 4+ star reviews it must be amazing. However, delivery sucked. For two burritos an order of nachos, plus delivery fee and tip - 40 bucks. Are you kidding me? I can get a better tasting burrito for half that at Chipotle. Delivery was quick, but the food was cold when it arrived. The nachos had solidified. They seriously looked like they'd been sitting around all day. All in all, each item was bland; no flavor at all Perhaps when we're in the area, we'll give dining-in a chance, however, we'll never order from this place again.

This place has great Mexican food. The Queso Fundido appetizer is so good and tasty. The burritos and quesodillas are great. I have also have the gaucamole. Try the chiros for dessert. They are delish! The restaurant itself is small. The service is fast and the price is reasonable. Delivery is also fast. If you are craving good Mexican food, this is the place to try!

Looking for consistently great and fresh Mexican food? Order from Azteca de Oro. I've ordered from them numerous times and have never been disappointed. Simply great, fresh and CONSISTENT food!! I've always ordered delivery. Always on time, most times earlier than estimated and never any mistakes. The fajitas are great. Nice big slices of white chicken breast, fresh onions and peppers. Hot flour tortillas. they also come with the usual condiments on the side (sour cream, guac, pico, cheese). The fajitas dish comes with a side of rice and black beans. The burritos are great as well. I wish I could review more dishes but I tend to re-order the same meal once I've found something I enjoy.

Let me preface this review by saying that I had an order delivered at 4:30am, and no, I wasn't nearly as drunk as I should have been on a Friday night ordering Mexican food at that hour.... This place was sooooo good. The guacamole is more of a pico/guac which I love! It was chunky with a fresh knife cut salsa throughout. The grilled quesadilla actually came loaded with bacon, and your choice of meat with guac and sour cream on the side. That's all fine and good, but lets move onto the burrito. I got the signature 'Azteca de Oro' burrito, loaded down with grilled chicken, jack-cheddar cheese, guac, sour cream, rice, black beans and pico de gallo. Holy crappity crap this thing was gooooood. The chicken was grilled perfectly, cut into large tender chunks. I have to give these guys some credit, for $7.50 this thing was massive and intensely fresh. I wouldn't often say this, but this place is worth a day time stop in. Not to mention that they deliver all day until 5am. Well played. You will definitely be hearing from me soon, maybe tomorrow...

FISH TACOS ARE THE BEST! This was my first time in Chicago and on a hungry Sunday morning after seeing Wrigley Field and walking all the way upto Julius Mienl and being told that we will have to wait for an hour, we walked into to this unassuming Mexican restaurant around the corner. LOCATION: Being next to Wrigley's makes it a great location. DECOR: The restaurant's decor was simple and clean. FOOD: We ordered Fish Tacos (as was recommended on Yelp) that came with Chips and Salsa (absolutely free). The Tacos were absolutely deliciously! We also ordered the Fried Ice-cream (the picture on the Menu was very tempting) but it wasn't good at all. The ice-cream was very hard. I will definitely go here again to eat the Fish Tacos!

Two words: Carnitas Enchiladas I don't eat the stuff, but if my mom told us how good her enchiladas were once more, we were going to smack her.

Ok, let me start by saying my review may not be totally unbiased. I came here on a Monday night after I had started a week-long detox/protein shake only diet. I know, I'm a nut case, hence why I came to cheat on my diet with a burrito. Maybe it was the thought that I wouldn't be eating solid food for a week, but EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! The guac? Fresh as hell. The carne asada? Tangy, salty deliciousness. FOR SURE, get the tres peppers fajita burrito! SO good. (While I picked off my friends' plates, I did not share one bite of mine.) My friend got the burrito suizo, but wasn't really a fan of the red sauce they used. My other friend ordered the flautas, which she said she like, but didn't finish. Now being the pig I am, I picked off both of their plates. My verdict? It was ALL SO DELICIOUS. Again, I was probably food delirious, but I would hands down totally go again.

I already loved the food. This review is for the service. I placed an order for pick-up. I walked pretty far to pick it up and bring it home. Once I got home and opened it I realized right away my order was wrong. (Pretty obvious since I ordered Suiza). I called them not expecting much. They immediately offered to deliver me the corrected order and got it to me before I could blink. Nice work guys. Definitely ordering again.

The fish tacos at Azteca were absolutely some of the best I've ever eaten. I discovered the restaurant thanks to Yelp while looking for a quick dinner that wasn't McDonald's before I had to dash to the L to catch my bus back home from a show at the Metro across the street. Azteca had good reviews and I figured Mexican is usually done quickly. Not even the reviews could have prepared me for those fish tacos. Man, they were delicous. Not only that, but the associate who helped me was delightfully pleasant. She was inquisitive about why I was in town and made me feel at home in her establishment. When I next visit Chicago, I would love to have an actual sit down meal at Azteca when I'm not in such a rush to get out the door.

Azteca de Oro No Moro. We've given this place a couple of tries. Ordered online. The delivery was relatively fast for a Saturday night. That said, I am repeatedly disappointed by the quality of the food. Though my wife likes the numerous vegetarian options, I find the "skirt steak" found in both my tacos and quesadillas to be more akin to ground up dog food. Fine, you can call it "ground beef" but it certainly isn't skirt steak. For example, when you order a skirt steak fajita or other item from Uncle Julio's, it's actually tasty, identifiable meat; this stuff from Azteca was grey, not sliced as you would find a skirt steak, and certainly not delicious. The guacamole is pretty good. The salsa is nice. However, be aware that the restaurant charges for salsa as well as extras such as cheese and sour cream. In all, I'll go to one of the numerous other options before ordering from here again. On the plus side, it's Mexican...something about being over faster than shit through a goose.

More like a 3.5 star. This place was a little better than okay only because it was probably one of the best guacamole I've ever had. It's free if you mentioned yelp, but it seriously tasted like I paid over $6 for it! As for the tacos, I only went to this place, which is out of the way for my side of the neighbor because of the fish tacos reviews. Eh, not so special here. Just okay. I recall it being really colorful (see photo) but can't remember the taste (oo not a good sign) The shrimp taco I got was still cold. I didn't want to say anything, but it was definitely frozen and undercooked. I was too sad to even complain. I just made a note never to get it again. Boo. The overall plating of was nice (no baskets, but white plates ooo!) and the waitresses were cool. If I'm in the area, I'd bring a huge bag of tortilla chips and go back for the guacamole :)

This place is the most consistent delivery mexican food I find in the city, not my favorite mexican but pretty solid. The cheese enchiladas are really tasty, and they substitute as you wish without a hassel. the chicken and talapia bowls are healthy options as are the taco platters. they deliver on their own as well as via grub hub If you order the green tomatillo sauce which is really good, know it has a kick. the red sauce is hot!

First of all, I should disclaim my review by confessing that I've never actually been to the restaurant. I only order form them via delivery.com or foodler.com . However! I have ordered from them numerous times and loved everything I've ordered. The taco salad is the best I've had in the city. Most other places are either similar to an actual salad, with a small scoop of meat, or are totally greasy and disgusting. Theirs is in a nice, small and non-greasy shell with tasty, fresh ingredients. Plenty of lettuce, but not so much that it's actually a 'salad.' It even has corn and actual black beans, which pleases me to no end. Their salsa verde is super spicy. I ordered the enchiladas tonight, with salsa verde, and they were so spicy and cheesy I could barely handle it. My favorite from them though is their carne asada quesadilla. A lot of places around here do a small, thin tortilla with meat and cheese that's folded over. Azteca de Oro's idea of a carne asada quesadilla are two full sized thick tortillas, almost the thickness of pitas, with tons of meat and cheese sandwiched in between. Delicious! I've ordered from them probably a dozen times and it's always been speedy quick, with wonderfully friendly delivery folks and my order has always been correct - no matter the time I order. I have never eaten anything from Azetca that didn't taste super fresh, non-greasy and tasty. Of all the Mexican joints I've tried in the area (and there have been a few) they're easily my favorite. When I consider the free delivery and low minimum order, I really have nothing but great things to say about Azteca!

By far some of the best Mexican food in the city! It competes with the more expensive restaurants in Chicago and to my opinion, is quite better. Service is fast and friendly. The salsa is amazing!

My FAV burrito joint in the city! This is one of those places that I'm shocked I haven't reviewed yet. I've lived down the street from here for about 4 years, and to be honest I wasn't thrilled the first few times I got my burrito fix here. I didn't give it another chance until about a year ago, and I am now straight up addicted. Their Tres Peppers Shrimp burrito is AMAZZZINGGG! Sososo good! It's hard to find shrimp burritos in the city, period (meaning at "burrito joints", not sit-down nice Mexi-restaurants), and these exceed my high expectations. My boyfriend usually gets a mix of meat tacos (beef/chicken/pork) and loves them. Possibly the BEST salsa in the city. It's super fresh with tons of cilantro, and reallllyyy spicy. I am the queen of all things spicy, and this salsa leaves my tongue burning in the most delicious of ways. Oh, and the horchata is phenomenal! Other positives besides the food: Easy online ordering. Friendly staff. They call to let you know your pick-up is ready. Fast delivery. Open late.

By far the best Mexican food i've found in all of Chicago in the last 10 years of living here. Not only is everything amazing, but their delivery is super fast and they take great pride in getting it right. Their tacos are are great and their nachos are my absolute favorite!

I was craving Mexican one cold night this winter and decided to try Azteca de Oro based on the raving Yelp reviews! The food arrived quickly and was less greasy than I expected for Mexican delivery. I was particularly impressed, especially for the area, as Wrigleyville isn't exactly known for quality food choices. I'll be ordering again, and maybe even dine-in (with a few BYO beers)...

I can't believe I've never been to Azteca before. I have walked by this restaurant probably hundreds of times and never stopped and I'm almost disappointed in myself because this place is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. I love Mexican food and would eat it every night if I could. I have been to several Mexican restaurants, trying them all out, the high-end ones, the mid-priced ones, and the reasonable ones and Azteca ranks above all of them. The restaurant itself is small - maybe 10 tables. There's tv's up in the corner, the kitchen is right in the middle. You sit down kind of thinking..those Yelpers have fooled me..there is NO way THIS place is 5 stars...but it IS! The food is so fresh - we had chicken taquitos as an appetizer and they were great...there was not a spec of grease on them...the chicken was tender and flavorful along with the guac....the chips and salsa...same thing...the salsa was SO fresh and the chips came out warm! hhheeavveen! Onto dinner...I had the shredded chicken tacos and hubby had the some sort of beef...again..SO fresh...and just the right amount of food. I was actually full after one and took the remainder home...but again, veggies were fresh, meat was tender...everything was just amazing. Naturally, since I was taking most of my meal home for leftovers..that means I saved room for dessert so we had fried ice cream which was ALSO incredible. I can't say enough great things about this place...on top of everything being so fresh...it's all reasonable AND BYOB! So you can enjoy ALL that food at a reasonable price..I think our bill after chips/salsa, taquitos, tacos, and fried ice cream..was $30. Azteca, I'm so sorry I've been living in the city forever and never given you a shot...I'm truly ashamed of myself. I will be back, that is for sure!

I no longer live in Chicago but I had to give this place five stars. Seriously we only did take out once but probably had delivery from here on a bi weekly basis. We were only a few blocks but sometimes delivery is just the way to go. The delivery lady was also always so nice and had it to us in no more then 15 minutes every time. I travel to Chicago a ton but haven't made it back up but I'm going to in the near future.

As someone who hates cilantro (& I don't like your judgement), it's a pretty big deal for me when I order food, and there's absolutely no cilantro. Not a fleck! This place has gotten it right a million times, and their taco salad (which, honestly, is the only thing I've ordered each of the million times) is b-o-m-b.
(5)
Alexis G.

I went there with a group of 13 and they have enough room to accommodate us and the service was pretty good. The chips and salsa were good but the chips never got refilled but the food came in a good amount of time considering the size of our large party. I got two steak tacos and they were really good! The only thing that was kinda disappointing is that I don't like tomatoes and forgot to tell them and so when Igot the tacos the tomatoes where on the bottom of the meat and cheese.I am sure people who like for their tomatoes not to fall off love that. Otherwise super good and I will definitely be back!

So, Foodler is my boyfriend this week...apparently, since I refused to go out in this weather and/or cook. Or buy groceries. (Ok, that's a winner for most pathetic statment EVER, but moving on...) :::::ahem:::::: Starting over. Mexican delivery can be quite tricky, indeed. I mean, those five ingredients (cheese, tortilla, avocado, tomato, meat) can congeal into some horrific substances in the drive over, for real. El Ranchito? eh. OK, at 4am. The fact that deliver 22 hours a day is impressive though... So Azteca pops up, and only has a $10 minimum. Hoooooooray, I can avoid the $40 bill I rang up at Cafe Orchid the other night. (Born of sheer stubbornness and my inability to forgo falafel on the particular night). Regardless, ok...$10 let's do this. Surprisingly hard, actually. This stuff is cheap! $7 Azteca de Oro Burrito with Carnitas. (whole wheat tortilla!) Chips & Guac & Salsas: $5 Side of beans: $2. Nice! After perusing the menu a bit...it's kind of random (um, they have french fries!?) but also kind of...awesome. Like, you can order burrito bowls (for when I feel like going on a carb protest), or big Fiesta salads (for when I feel the need for vegetables) and sides of steamed veggies, brocolli, etc. Not a bad selection...especially if you are trying to count calories AND get delivery food, which usually tends to be craptastic, calorie-wise. All said and done and a $3 tip for the delivery gals (a mom and her cute little daughter), it was around $16 or so. Bueno. I like. Burritos that show up at my house hot, lovely. Foodler is back in my good graces.

Awesome local Mexican restaurant. If you live close or are in the Wrigleyville area to catch a game or at the bars this is a solid Mexican food option. It is quick, reasonably priced, open late, and byob. Good for a late night drunk food option, but even better as a quick and easy lunch or dinner meal. Burritos will fill you up, and taste great.

Cynthia R.

I just had to update my review because I LOVE this place. It is a bit pricy but its worth it. They are the only taco place I order from I always order delivery, which is the quickest and most efficient that I have ever had. I also started to order online because its fast and I saved my order so all i had to do was clique a few buttons. One day i decided to call and when the guy on the phone realized it was me he was like "miss Rios!" That made my day and was the best customer service I had had just the fact that he was so happy and knew who I was even though I always order online made me realize that the stuff does pay attention to their customers and their needs. Now about the food these tacos are amazing!!!! They are always really warm when they get to my house and they are pure meat i get steak and it has no fat on it which I LOVE. Also, the churros are AMAZING always fresh and warm with a side of chocolate. Azteca de Oro will forever be my taco place good job keep up the AMAZING work.

I'll start by saying that I'm from the south...where Tex Mex is king. So when I moved to Chicago my taste buds had some adjustments to make when it came to really good Mexican food. This place moved to the top of my favorites list after the first bite. I was floored. My friend and I dined in right as the restaurant opened so the chips were warm and the salsa was chilled to perfection. We ordered a small guacamole that was packed full of huge chunks of fresh tomato, onion, and jalapeno and well...it didn't last long. Definitely worth the $3.99. For entree's my friend had the Azteca de Oro burrito with carnitas. When it came out the food was literally bursting from the tortilla. It was packed with black beans, rice, guacamole, cheese, and marinaded carnitas. We could have easily split the burrito, but that's no fun when you're trying a place for the first time! I chose the carnitas enchiladas with the salsa verde accompanied with rice and beans. The portion was huge and again could have been split between 2 people. I am a huge enchilada snob and these were just fantastic. The corn tortillas were warm, the carnitas were exploding with flavor, and the chihuahua cheese and spicy salsa verde added just the right amount of heat. I was able to "check-in" while I was sitting there and get 25% off of our meal. So it was extremely affordable for lunch. This is a place that I hope to regularly order from, whether I have time to dine in or I need it delivered.

Delicious food and prompt delivery (seriously) but Im only giving them four stars because they gave me plenty of taco shells but only a tiny portion of rice and beef. I'm short and slim, so I'm not asking for much.......Im still hungry *wompwomp*

Jon A.

Awesome food! Delivery is fast and useful. I love their chicken tacos, the meat was cooked good and lots of great seasoning. It so simple but it tastes clean. Their desserts are very good such as the churros and their homemade cookies. I would eat here any day of the week. It's ine of my top Mexican restaurants in Chicago.!! Great food
(5)
EL G.

This place is definitely worth checking out if you're in Wrigleyville. Although nothing on the menu floors me, you won't be disappointed with any of the food on the menu. They have a consistent product and they do a good job with everything I have tried on the menu. I live across the street and have probably ordered 8-10 different times. The tacos, the burritos, and the tortas are all good to very good. The service is average to above average. I give mad props to the kitchen guys though because you can tell that they work hard as hell and keep it fresh. A little on the pricey end but I am willing to pay a little more for fresh ingredients. Keep up the good work.

Pete S.

Have had Azteca delivered 5 or 6 times in the last few months... Conversation usually goes like this: Me: "how about delivery tonight?" Wifey: "ok, let's get the good Mexican" Me- "done and done" As you can see, "good Mexican" azteca in our house. It also means a burrito bowl for here, and the steak and shrimp combo for me (amazing sauce with this one) Usually arrives in less than 40 min, which is nice.
(4)
Amy L.

This is a go to when Mexican delivery is in order. The place is a step above your standard taqueria. They use fresh and quality ingredients. I'll take a veggie burrito with black beans, peppers, onions, and rice over wilted, shredded iceberg lettuce and canned re-fried beans any day. The guacamole is fantastic as well. My favorite thing on their menu, fish tacos. Amazing. I really don't have much to say other than the food is fantastic and they deliver late and quickly. What more can you ask for?

Kim D.

I ordered dinner from here on grubhub during a snowstorm. It took a half hour longer than their promised time so it arrived cold. But once I sat down to eat, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the cheese enchiladas(with hot red sauce) and chicken tortilla soup. Both were super spicy...just the way I like it. Looking forward to trying some other menu items.

Cristina G.

The best tacos I've ever had at 2 am!!! Unexpectedly delicious- Hanging out in one of my least favorite neighborhoods in Chicago we found ourselves hungry after leaving a local bar and decided to get some tacos. I really thought I was going to end up at some greasy taco joint, and at 2 am there aren't many choices so I was fine with it. We entered Azteca and ordered and were surprised to see fresh ingredients and hot tortillas without a drop of oil or grease on them. Not only that, but the tacos were delicious and our server very nice. If we lived near there we would get delivery for sure.

Vince K.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! I've lived right around the corner from Azteca de Oro for about a year, but for some reason have never checked it out. Boy was I stupid. It is delicious. Great price for a good amount of food. They're open late and the service is extremely friendly. I had a Azteca de Oro burrito with a spinach tortilla. It was phenomenal. It had everything you would want in a burrito, plus some. Everything tasted so fresh too. My favorite part was that the burrito was wrapped well. I don't know if this bothers others, but I hate it when my burrito falls apart 4 bites in and I have to finish eating it with a fork. But no, it stayed all wrapped up so perfectly until the very last bite. Haha! It's the little things. But yes, friendly service, open late, deliciously fresh Mexican food. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Di S.

I've been ordering from here for a while now and I gotta say this place has pretty decent food, especially considering the late-night options. Their tacos are all quite splendid but my favorite is their Azteca de Oro burrito! So much goodness and quality packed into one burrito and not terribly expensive. If you're looking for a little late night Mexican delivery, this is the spot.

Theodore K.

This is a sad day. I have been ordering and enjoying azteca de oro for a few years now and have always been super satisfied with my order. The past 2 times have been shockingly disappointing. They have incremented the price up slightly but the quality of the food has dropped significantly. The steak tacos that I used to love deeply are now fatty and stringy and I can barely eat them without spitting out a few pieces of terrible meat. It just seems like they switched to cheaper ingredients and now overload verything full of cilantro...which is disgusting. The Pico de Gallo was essentially a few tomato chunks submerged in water and mixed up with a fistful of cilantro. Used to be a 5 star place..but sadly with time they have devolved into just another crappy Mexican restaurant.

Jen M.

I've eaten here before and the food was amazing. However, ordering delivery was not the same experience. Yes the delivery man was nice and fast but the tacos were inedible. Pros: Person who took my order was nice Delivery was fast My sprite was cold Cons: Steak tacos were chewy, to the point where I ate only 1 out of 3 and spit out almost all of the steak because it was all fat and hard pieces My tacos only had lettuce and tomatoes when I asked for everything My chips were good but my guacamole tasted like the plastic container it was delivered in Won't be ordering here again. There are too many Mexican restaurants that know how to make a decent taco to order here again.

Went here before a Concert. Don't know what it was. But my Fajita Burrito was 60% rice. For 8 bucks there should be a fair amount of steak. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed.

Rebecca C.

Omg! I meant to put up a picture of my Taquitos, but I killed those! They were excellent! Stuff with chicken and topped with cheese and sour cream. They were crispy and full of flavor. Such a simple dish, but so filling! It comes with a small side of salsa and guacamole. I also got a side of rice, but it wasn't that's good. I was expecting something completely different when we pulled up. I thought it was going to be a large sit down restaurant, but this is like a Noodles and Company but Mexican. You order your food, then sit down and they bring you the food. Nothing special. However, a great place for quick tasty Taqiitos!!! The reason why I only gave it three was because I'm picky when it comes to Mexican and this place was just mediocre, especially since it wasn't the hype from the other reviews. I will say, the Guacamole is excellent! I bought some to bring home and enjoy since I'm not driving and hour out that way in awhile. I will be back out for the Taqiitos, but not till the summer.

Cam M.

This has become my go to Mexican food delivery. The food is good-I've ordered: a burrito, taquitos, a quesadilla, and churros. The fat boy in me wonders why it took me this long to try churros. Very very good. Also, even better when intoxicated. They delivery pretty late and fast, even on a Sunday. I think the latest I have ordered was about 1230AM Sunday night/Monday morning. Even during more normal hours, the delivery is fast. It has been about 20mins. When I want my burrito or churro fix, it is a safe bet that I will be ordering from them.

Andrea H.

So judging by the pictures I thought this place was going to be more of a nicer Mexican restaurant but it's more of a quick serve style. We did have a waiter come to our table and everything so that was nice. I don't know how I missed the BYOB when I was looking this place up but I did so I didn't have a Margarita like I wanted for my birthday but that's ok, they made up for it with the food which was fantastic! We had 4 people at our table and only one of us had something a little wrong w our order so that's ok and they were quick to fix it. The only criticism I have is we were dealing with 2 different waiters so we ended up saying a lot of things twice and at the end of our meal I had 10% off for checking in with Yelp so I told one waiter and the other waiter brought us back a check with no discount. He fixed it thankfully, just gets a little tiring repeating yourself. Go here for some legit Mexican food, it was delicious!

Ordered from GrubHub, who never sent my order to Azteca de Oro. I called after an hour of waiting for an order they never received. They expedited my order and delivered within 20 minutes and it was DELISH! Definitely will only call direct from now on.

Jessica A.

My boyfriend and I have been ordering delivery from Azteca for over a year. The quality of their food has seemed to consistently decline. The steak tacos we paid $1 extra for were too chewy to be edible, thank God we ordered a pork one. The chips and salsa were ok, but the salsa was almost a watery soup, and like everything, COVERED IN CILANTRO. Ruined the entire meal. We are gonna have to start trying other places :/

Michelle W.

I used to live across the street from Azteca and came here at all hours of the day (they are open until about 4am). After many visits, I can say with full confidence that the carnitas enchiladas with verde sauce is my all-time favorite. The carnitas are full of flavor and depth, and the verde sauce is the perfect amount of heat/flavor. The guacamole is also tasty, and don't forget to order a glass of horchata. Yum! I'm not a fan of bacon in the fire grilled quesadilla, but nonetheless, it's a hearty size, even though it's listed in the appetizer section.

Allison M.

The food quality is great here, the atmosphere is perfectly divey without being grungy, and the location is really great. We went on a chilly wintry night, and it was so great to get some tasty Mexican fare. I had the baja fish tacos, which were great and filling. The fish fillets were cleanly fried, and weren't overly heavy. They came with rice and beans that I couldn't even finish. I'd definitely recommend them! There were two strikes against the restaurant, in my view: the baja fish tacos and baja shrimp tacos, despite being the same price, cannot be mixed and matched. You must get three of the same, which leaves no room for adventure! The other thing was that my husband ordered a shrimp burrito and a fish one came instead. AND my brother ordered some fixings on the side that came on top-- when he reminded the waitress of what he ordered, she wasn't very eager to make a new one and made him feel a little guilty about sending it back. So, even though we really liked our server, a lot of order just wasn't right when it arrived. In the end, though, they did remake my brother's dish. And my husband didn't complain, so that's on him. We'd probably come back if we were in the area... though they're not without competition for good, affordable dining in this neighborhood!

Caitlin B.

Much more fast-foodey than what majority of these photos lead to believe. For what it is, it's ok. I was disappointed as I thought it would be a little bit fancier fare/presentation for a sit down meal. My fish burrito was a tad on the salty side and peppered like crazy (I happen to like lots of pepper, but I imagine it's a bit much as the standard). Stingy on how many chips they give you with meal, but green salsa was pretty tasty. Fried ice cream - meh' - skip it. Boyfriend's burrito tasted ok too, they put a lot more in than your average burrito (corn, pico de gallo, black beans, etc), but the steak was yummy and not fatty. I'd say for a quick bite after a game or if your in the area and have a craving for basic Mexican fare it's decent, but not a spot to go out of the way for. Service was friendly.

Sandra T.

My husband and I were scouring Yelp after our game we attended at Wrigley Field. Like most places we find on a whim is via Yelp and I'm glad we did! It wasn't too busy as it was later in the evening. When we walked in there was only one other group sitting near the back. Martin, the manager, was really awesome and gave us recommendations and chips and salsa to start. I ordered three shrimp tacos, my husband ordered a torta, and we shared a horchata. Everything we had tasted so fresh and delicious!! Even the complementary chips tasted fresh. The big bonus was that if you check in via Yelp you get 10% off your order! Check this place out if you're in the area.

Hit or miss. I went in and a staff member was very rude- I asked if I could please have green salsa only as I am not a fan of red salsa. When I go to leave I see only red salsa. I think to myself 'maybe he didn't hear me' so I go in a week later and try it out again " can I please have green salsa only?" He rolls his eyes and takes my money. I look in the bag and guess what - RED SALSA ONLY! Come on seriously?!!!??! I give it two stars because they have a decent burrito.

This is one of the better Mexican places in Lakeview. They have fast delivery, and the food generally shows up hot. They have good tacos and quesadillas, beyond that I can't speak for anything else. Also, the chips and salsa are pretty disappointing.

As a local in the area, this place has great food! Staff is nice. Prices alittle high, but well worth it!!

I love this place. It is literally always less than or equal to half an hour delivery time, and the food is always awesome. My favorites are their pork pastor tacos with quac, sour cream, and pico de gallo and such, tortilla soup, fajitas, and their taquitos. Not really a giant fan of their enchiladas. My parents are piscatarians, and my dad loves the tilapia bowl and fish tacos. AZTECA IS SPICY. Not many things are mild here, so my mom, who has a sensitive tongue, cannot eat anything here besides dessert. So it's definitely kind of a treat for when my mom isn't home. Thanks for being awesome, azteca! P.s. I usually order online through Grubhub

These are some good ass tacos. Came here after a show down the street at the Public House Theater. They've got an impressive selection of tacos, tortas, burritos, quesadillas, and the like. You can order some of the tacos al a carte, but the best ones come in platters of three with rice and beans, including the pescado and the camaron. The food comes out quick and the service is friendly. They've got some great chimachurri sauce and a fire salsa that will definitely bring the heat. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. But I may just end up ordering the bacon and steak tacos again...

Azteca gets no complaints from me! I have never dined in, so this review is based on delivery. The service is always quick and the food is always tasty. They really have become my go-to place when I'm feeling lazy. The food has always filled us up and left us satisfied. The bowls and the tacos are a staple and you can't go wrong with them. The guacamole is fresh and the chips are crispy not soggy when they arrive. As the weather turns colder and my desire to stay indoors increases, Azteca will continue to be my go to delivery place.

Good Mexican food for first restaurant I found in my neighborhood after moving from LA. Delivery was hella quick and the fish tacos I had were delicious. The Baja fish burrito was insanely good.

Small portions, slow service, dry food, charge extra for everything. This place has no redeeming qualities. I've lived a block away for 3 years and have been here 4 times. Every time it's a bad time

Chicken tortilla soup was delicious. The steak was very good and fresh there. Even the rice was good. Defiantly coming back.

JL S.

The steak tacos were good. I will call this place; authentic, modern mexican food. The place is clean and the service was excellent. A couple of Tvs play sports. About 8 tables plus some bar seating. I would def go back. The hot sauce was actually hot... I like that. Very friendly and attentive service.

Courtney B.

Their guacamole is the best I have ever had at any Mexican restaurant. So damn good. The rest of the food tasted great and the service was really good. It's a small eat in area and I went with a group of 6 and they accommodated us very well. It's also BYOB and they were really nice about clearing our beer bottles as we ate.

I was craving nachos all day, so I found this place on yelp. It did not disappoint! Guacamole is amazing, baja fish tacos were tasty, and the fried ice cream was a perfect way to end the meal! Will definitely be back for another taste!

Michael R.

I have ordered delivery from Azteca on 3 separate occasions. Each time craving a Chipotle burrito but not wanting to leave the house and each time coming away more impressed with the food and delivery service that Azteca offers. My first order was fish tacos and I can easily recommend these. The fish was fresh and the combination of ingredients on these tacos was delicious. The second and third time I ordered their Azteca chicken burrito which is a large burrito suitable for any appetite and the price is right. I can also recommend the Guacamole and chips. The Guacamole although slightly too salty for my tastes was fresh and a great dip for what seem to be made homemade chips. Overall, Azteca's food has been delivered hot and made with fresh ingredients. My only minor gripe is that the Guacamole is a bit salty for my tastes.

Food is great! Authentic. Affordable considering right down the street from Wrigley field. Friendly staff. The desserts are awesome!

Jenni F.

This is my favorite Mexican to order for delivery. I have never seen such fast turn around. And everything is always well packaged and with the appropriate utensils and condiments. I'm a big fan of the nachos. They're loaded with all sorts of deliciousness. I've tried a lot of other things too and recently had their Baja burrito. Oh my goodness. If you like shrimp this is something you just need to try.
(5)
Rachel O.

I eat here often for lunch. The food is good, and is made quickly. They also handle special requests. They have hiked their prices several times over the past couple years, so it's not quite as affordable as it once was, but still a good lunch option.

Ty N.

The Mexican food is extremely authentic and everything that they serve is fresh. I am a big fan of their steak tacos as well as their chips and salsa. The service is extremely pleasant and the restaurant is very clean. They have big screen televisions available to patrons. The only downfall is parking is pretty tight because of the area (wrigleyville).

Jose M.

5 stars simply for having the best horchata that I've had so far in Chicago. Everything else is an added bonus.
(5)
Jen K.

I would say this is the best place to get cheap Mexican in the North side of Chicago. The food was a great price, the meals are authentic, and portions are giant. It's BYOB. I've tried the bacon/steak tacos and the fish tacos. Also I tried the enchiladas suiza and a basic burrito. Everything is cooked well and has good flavors.

Post-Metro tacos are always a win! (Or, tacos are always a win!) I was leaving a beer release event at the Metro and was just a wee bit inebriated, and what was across the street? A taco palace! I scarfed down a taco dinner (al pastor, my one and only choice), some delicious guacamole and chips, and some of J's fish tacos (an excellent choice as well). It was glorious. The server was SO friendly. And whatever closed-captioning they had on the TV that was playing was so terrible/inaccurate/funny that I almost choked to death laughing on my horchata. I'm making this an official post-Metro stop from now on!

Not bad. Good local Mexican spot. Used to get for convenience when I lived the neighborhood. Prices were a bit steep but they try to class up some of your authentic favorites with more artesianal ingredients.

Jeff W.

Customer Service Matters Generally I do not write one star reviews, but this one deserves it. They are located in a very young part of town where several friends might like to enjoy a quick Mexican meal together. When going out it is NOT hard to split a bill with todays computer systems, but Azteca doesn't think so. They threw a fit when we tried to use 2 Credit cards and the third person tried to use Cash. I would really like to update my review, but they need to update their payment polices.

Fernando S.

What a great place to have celebrated my girlfriend's birthday! About 30 people went there for a Saturday dinner, we ate until we were full and we stayed there drinking (it's a BYOB place) until 3am. They were extremely friendly and very cool with us, so we tipped them well and thank them to infinity. The food was actually very good too and prices were reasonable too. I'm planning to come back soon!
(5)
Karen S.

People weren't lying about the fish tacos. They were delicious! I have to say, much of my rating has to do with the delivery. First of all, it was very fast. But more importantly, the quality of the food was great. I'll be honest - my expectations were pretty low, but it was as if I was eating at the restaurant (although I've never been). I will definitely order from here again. And don't forget to tell them you saw them on Yelp when you order. You'll get a small thing of chips and guac for free!

Elisabeth C.

My veggie burrito (got a spinach tortilla) was awesome and loaded with delicious grilled veggies. My boyfriend's enchiladas were okay and carnitas torta (yes, he eats that much!) was pretty good. Based on the food, we would have given four stars. Mine especially seemed pretty healthy for Mexican food, it wasn't greasy at all- some other places seem to make even veggie burritos super greasy and gross. However, our food arrived ICE COLD. Not even a hint of warmth: colder than room temperature. Also, boyfriend's food had been seriously jostled around like someone had been swinging the bag in the air or something! Food was four stars (not greasy, pretty tasty and overall much better than other Mexican delivery options around here) but service drops it down to three. Hopefully this was just a one-off, and we'll probably order again (and of course update if things improve).

Cheyanne M.

I've ordered here through Grubhub. I really liked the fish and veggie taco's. It might sound silly but I can't remember them really but I know they were good. That might mean that they are forgetable but good none the less. I would probably eat here again since they are close
(3)
Chelsea M.

Delicious food every time :) whether we're dining in or getting it delivered, the food is consistently really good and tastes fresh..not to mention thd fact that they're super fast. I'm always happy with this place. I used to always just get the taco dinner with beef tacos, lately I've been addicted to the fish tacos though
(5)
Demis P.

Their food is really fresh and authentic tasting. I have been a customer ever since they started. They started with very big portions but as they got popular and known they scaled down the size and raised their prices. That's expected these days since everything is getting pricier. Anyways-good mexican food. Love their burritos.
(4)
Judi P.

The food was really good. If you stay in and eat you get free and delicious chips and salsa. The salsa is really good, but I do not think the chips are homemade. I got a burrito and it came so fast and was so good. Everything seemed fresh and authentic and I was pleased. The only complaint that I have is that we were the only ones in the restaurant and our chips never got refilled and it took them a while to refill our waters. I would go back if I was in the area, but I am also going to try other Mexican restaurants closer to me that might be better.
(4)
David H.

I just wanted a little something to eat after a Cubs game so I stopped in here. They have some of the best salsa guacamole I've had in a long time. One weird thing is that it's BYOB, they don't serve alcohol here, which threw me off as it's the first time I've been to a Mexican restaurant that doesn't serve alcohol. Also, the staff there is very friendly.
(4)
Andrew F.

Top notch. Wow. Found this place based on the reviews on yelp and decided to go. It's a little off putting from the outside looking more like a late night Wrigleyville taco joint but quickly changes once you walk in. We ordered the guac, fish tacos, and chicken fajitas. All of the food was amazing - especially the guac. There is also an assortment of salsas which is always fun. Also BYOB! It doesn't get much better than that. The nice lady that was working that night also made us feel very welcome and was quite cheery. I think she is the key to making the service successful as the people behind the counter seemed a little unfriendly.

Patrick H.

Great Mexican food with an even better atmosphere. My roommates and I go to place once a week. Great for BYOB.

Anthony S.

The food here is so freaking delicious! I order delivery from here more than any other place in Chicago. It never disappoints. The cochinita pibil dinner is especially amazing. I love the habanero salsa and their guacamole. Delivery is quick, and the presentation is always great too. When I went to the restaurant for the first time, I was expecting a more upscale setting based on the presentation and quality of the food that I had received via delivery, but all that really matters to me is the food. I hope they stay here forever.

This was okay but we were in the mood for a 'rita and this is a BYOB restaurant. Very informal. Food was okay but not stellar. Good location near Music Box Theatre in Lakeview.

Devi R.

I ordered delivery, put down the phone, poured a glass of whine, and before I was halfway through, the food was here. So nice. More importantly, they had lots of vegetarian options, which were all good! We got both the 4-cheese enchilada and the veggie enchilada. Both were artfully done - one even had a mole sauce. The vegetables were fresh and the beans on the side were vegetarian too. If you want to add some serious zing, ask for a side of their hottest sauce, the habanero.
(5)
Kylie M.

Two words. Fish Tacos. You have to get the fish tacos. They are beyond incredible. This was our first trip to this restaurant, but I have no doubt we'll be back. We also tried the chicken enchiladas which were great, full of flavor and not greasy. The restaurant is very clean, the service was efficient, the food is made from quality ingredients, it's BYOB. What more could you ask for? But seriously, get the fish tacos.
(5)
Vanessa U.

The only reason, really, that I frequented this restaurant so often this summer was because it was next door to my office, and sometimes I needed a break from Wrigleyville Dogs. The food isn't AWFUL, but it isn't very exciting, either. Its bland, lacks any creativity or interesting flavor combinations, and its most definitely overpriced. Damn my laziness, for making me suffer through so many $10 lunches that tasted like roller-rink socks.

Only had it delivery...but...one of my favorite mexican places to order in from. Fish tacos are amazing!

David G.

I like to gauge Mexican delivery on whether or not it's going to make me want to take off of work the next day due to medical reasons. Azteca de Oro rates pretty well, meaning the food is good and I'm not running for the border hours later. Azteca de Oro isn't your typical hole in the wall Mexican joint. If that's what you prefer, then I suggest going somewhere else. The quality of the food here is pretty good, not just thrown together from yesterday's garbage like a lot of places I've ordered from and probably won't again. I've ordered a few things here. The Baja fish tacos are all they're hyped up to be... crispy, beer battered. They're not exactly the healthiest, but at least it won't send you to the hospital. If you want to go healthy, I would recommend the tilapia bowl, grilled fish on rice and steamed vegetables. And the nachos. They put black beans on them, not refried beans. Aren't we all kind of sick of refried beans on soggy nachos? Pretty satisfied with everything I've ordered from Azteca de Oro. And despite the name, Montezuma will not have his revenge. Not tonight.

Sophia L.

I'd like to start by saying that I am spoiled when it comes to Mexican food, seeing as I have spent many summers eating REAL Mexican food in Mexico. And to be fair... Mexican food is probably the worst food keep fresh when delivered...... On that note, one snowy cold night I decided to order delivery Mexican food, and this place seemed to have the best reviews. We had shredded beef, shrimp and carnitas tacos. These were basically uneatable. The meat had no flavor, the corn tortillas had transformed into some rubbery mushy mess. In short, my dog had a fabulous dinner that night. Luckily we also ordered nachos and these were GOOD. Im sure when they are served hot and fresh in the restaurant they are fantastic!! The next morning we both barely made it out of bed due to mysterious stomach pain... Don't think I will be ordering tacos from here again, but I will definitely stop in for the nachos.

Arpana U.

I was excited about this place seeing the high star ranking and it is so close to me. I was a little disappointed, but maybe I was just expecting too much. I do agree with reviewers that the ingredients here are very fresh - peppers, onions, etc. What we had: queso fondido, guacamole, veggie enchiladas, and veggie burrito. Fondido - good, heavy seeing it's just all cheese. Guacamole - unfortunately I can not give it as high of review as others, far from best in the city. Actually I thought it was onions and tomatoes with just a little avocado thrown in; very underwhelming. Dinners: one thing lacking all around: sauce. The enchiladas just didn't have enough, it was apparent as soon as they put the plates down. Sauce did not cover the corn tortillas. And the burrito had none, inside or out. Again, fresh vegetables, but the taste and the sauce was heavily lacking. This place is half step above a hole-in-the-wall (it's actually very clean and nice) but it is the grill in the main area with 4-6 tables scattered around. One "waitress" who was just running back and forth. It's just fine - but don't be expecting a real sit-down dinner. Overall, just lacking a bit. Nothing bad, but I don't foresee the craving to return. Just barely made 3 stars.

Get takeout tacos, all steak, pastor, and chicken. I think the guacamole is a little weak and not chunky enough for me, but highly recommend the pastor tacos. Overall pretty good, not amazing though.

BYOB - No corking fee. Honestly the BEST service I have received in Chicago! Our waitress was super attentive and always there when we needed her. The food was great! I strongly recommend this place to everyone. Also - open until 5am on Fridays and Saturdays I believe. Yummmm!

Man ohhhhh man...ive only been here once but can i tell you...im very big on authenticity of ethnic foods ....since i come from a multicultural background; i love every thing lol but i love authentic , yummy , hearty Mexican food. And this is your place. I Had shrimp tacos on flour tortillas and Del Mar(Fish enchiladas topped with grilled shrimp.) GREAT! My ma had tostadas. I stole one :P ...Great service here ....and need i mention its not too easy to find a yummy horchata....found it here :) ill be going back here when im around the way again ;)

Erin V.

I typically find myself here between the hours of 2 and 4 am, but regardless, this place is delicious. I used to religiously order their nachos which is the reason I fell madly in love with this place. Somehow they are still amazing the next morning. As of late, I go with the burritos which are superb as well. And their guacamole - oh, so good. I'd give this place 5 stars, but I feel like until my assessment is more sober, that could be misleading.

Michael L.

Quality Mexican food. Shredded chicken tacos, chicken flautas, and guac are delicious.
(4)
Megan K.

Delicious. Simply Delicious. Need I say more? To back up the high expectations that I have set, Azteca de Oro has never disappointed. It's been my boyfriend and I's standby for over a year now--and we used to frequent it on a weekly basis. The staff recognizes us when we go in, and they are very friendly and attentive. Breaking it down to the food, the guacamole is a must-have. It's amazing and fresh, and served up with warm tortilla chips. As for the food, my favorite menu item is the tres-peppers fajita burrito with chicken. It's a melody of freshly sauteed peppers, onions, with black beans, guacamole, and grilled chicken, topped with cheese. Topping this with both the red and green sauces that they provide is phenomenal. My boyfriend's go to menu item is the shrimp tacos--tipped off by a previous yelper, that was the first thing he tried, and he fell in love. We stray from these items from time to time, and the only disappointing item was when I ordered 2 chicken tacos ala-carte. I was unimpressed and they were bland. Overall, this is a definite go to in Wrigleyville--it's never very packed, quick service, and quick delivery.

BEST FISH TACOS IN THE CITY!!!!! Enough said. Everytime I go here it gets fancier and fancier too. Salsa and chips are still awesome and the hot sauces are excellent. Sittl BYOB, so a great spot to 'tailgate' before a Cubs game unless you are into the gross food a Murphy's.
(5)
Larisa O.

We liked this place. A lot. I wouldn't have imagined a great *real* Mexican place in Wrigleyville but this food is legit. They have cochinita pibil tacos with pickled onion, which is fairly uncommon in your average joint. This place has the affordable prices of a dive, but it's clean and cheerful. Service was excellent. Careful with the hot sauce, you will cry.

Best delivery find in a long time! We were looking to mix-up our routine and order something other than Thai or Chinese. Thanks to my friends at Yelp, we landed on Azteca de Oro. Wow. One of the best delivery experiences ever, and I'm not exaggerating! Case in point - we ordered online (gotta love online ordering systems) around 6:45 p.m. At 6:57 p.m. I got an "order out for delivery" email. I thought there was no way... until about two seconds later when I heard our doorbell. Yes, our food literally arrived in about 15 minutes. So A+ for that. The food itself was very very good. We started with the guac which was excellent. It's chunky with tomatoes which is just how I like it. Great flavor. The chips were meh--not enough salt for my liking and borderline stale, but they did the job. Since everyone raved about the fish tacos, I opted for that for my main course. And everyone's right--they're outstanding. And for delivery, too. I was a little concerned they might be mushy but no--the breading was still crispy on the outside and the pickled onions are a nice touch. I really didn't need the beans or rice on the side (appreciate that they come with black beans instead of refried) as the tacos alone were more than filling. My waistline isn't thanking me, but this one will definitely move into our regular delivery rotation, and we will for sure be going to the restaurant to check it out in-person. Who doesn't love BYOB?

Jeff B.

This is the spot for gourmet mexican food at regular price! I eat there at regular restaurant hours, but this awesome spot is open late too. Located right across from Smartbar/Metro it is the go to spot for after shows. Pretty much everything is of high quality, some favorites are veggie enchiladas, burritos suizo, carne asada, horchata, and save room for churros! Plus the salsa is awesome too, if you like it hot, try the habanero sauce...if you can handle the scofield units!
(4)
Wendi M.

Wonderful shrimp tacos. I'm going to just keep saying shrimp tacos. Shrimp tacos. Ok, I'm done. The only problem I have with this place is I never get the same order twice. My order is really easy, shrimp tacos with lettuce, cheese, sour cream and that tomato/corn spicy yummy stuff they put on everything. But every time I order, it's a gamble as to what is going to be on my food. Bring some consistency to the prep process and this would be my favorite Mexican place in the city. Shrimp tacos!!

I haven't written a review in forever it seems. I've been busy being unemployed, masturbating 9 times a day and eating lots of canned corn. I figured I'd start out slow and work my way back into a groove. So let's start with something simple shall we? :P Another good Mexican delivery place?!? You have got to be kidding me. Have I been a good boy this year Santa? This place is pretty cheap and quick to top it all off! The grilled chicken and steak tacos are tasty and even come with their own little lime slice which is a nice little touch. The guacamole is fabulous, with big chunky pieces of tomatoes, avocado, and onion. I like both the green and red salsa they send with every order and you can't beat still hot tortilla chips. I also tried a bite of their shrimp burrito and I think I know what I'm ordering next time. Give this place a chance if you want some quick, hot, savory, tasty and good Mexican delivery! What do I know though I'm an unemployed frequent masturbater. Aren't you all glad I'm back writing reviews?

Mike P.

Happy to report that the dine-in experience was as good as the take-out experience. When my wife asked what I wanted for my birthday dinner, being a simple creature, I asked to go to Azteca de Oro. Our waitress was extremely sweet and attentive, even asking about our son. The food again hit the spot. We both agreed this will be our go-to spot for Mexican food, going forward.

Jen L.

This place was great! We went in the afternoon and it was pretty quiet. The services was fast. The best part was the food. Their fish tacos were amazing. Although the fish is deep fried the slaw and veggie toppings make it a great balance of tasty and fresh. My boyfriend got the carne asada (which he gets everywhere in Chicago) and the taste and marinate was probably the best I've tasted. A portion was a little underdone for his liking and the cook brought out another piece of meat cooked the way he liked! Very accommodating and delicious. I have been craving those fish taco's ever since!
(4)
Alex M.

I love this place. It is my go-to restaurant when I want something delivered quick. It usually gets to my place in about 15min! They make everything fresh. The chips, salsa, guac, EVERYTHING. And you can definitely tell. The food is amazing. I love the vegetarian enchiladas and their Horchata. It is nice inside too if you are looking for a cozy place to eat.

Julie M.

Having moved here from California, my standards for good Mexican food are pretty high. With that being said, Azteca De Oro is my new go to spot. I've only eaten there twice but the food quality is much better than any other local Mexican to-go spot.
(4)
Christa R.

We get delivery from here all of the time. They arrive very quickly and it's some of the most authentic Mexican food that I've had in the city. Their guac, quesadilla, tacos and burrito bowls are all really tasty and the portions are relatively big. Their chips are on the thicker side, but I'll deal. They always give plently of extra sauce on the side. Give it a try!

Meade M.

Let me start out by saying I moved to Chicago 3 days ago, so I don't know yet how this restaurant rates compared to others in the area. I got delivery from Azteca after a number of hours of cleaning and unpacking, all I really wanted was a good bowl of spicy soup so went on yelp to find what I could in my area which delivered late. I am a Tortilla soup lover so I was happy to find a mexican place that was open, delivered, and had Tortilla soup. Deliver was very quick, and the food was fantastic. It was some of the best tortilla soup I've ever had. That said, the temperature of the food when it arrived was not as good, the soup was lukewarm at best, I ended up heating it up on the stove as I hate cold soup. And if I had a microwave I would have heated the rice and beans up too. All said and done I will give this place another try to see if they consistently deliver cold food or if it was a fluke. As the soup was soo good I'm really hoping for the fluke.

Kristi B.

I ordered fajitas for delivery and the food was *incredible* - spicy, delicious, fresh. They got it right (I asked for no beans, no guac, etc. in the notes). Ordered and paid online. Delivery was SO QUICK! You won't be sorry (says a Texan who tends to be pretty picky about my mexican food).
(4)
Arleen P.

Love love love this place. I haven't been able to dine in but I order from work for lunch and the delivery is always fast and the food is always fresh and so delicious. Green Chicken Enchiladas or the Crispy Chicken Tacos are my absolute favorite at a price you can't beat!
(5)
Lydia C.

Big fan. Huge fan. So many things about this place I love, the food being of course the number one reason, others being that the price is pretty good, you can order online from their website and from delivery.com , and when you stop in to eat in the help is great! (Although the music they play during the day sometimes is not so great.) Food quality is awesome, I'm a huge fan of the tacos with shredded chicken, and the boyfriend always gets the fiesta bowl. The portions aren't huge but are perfect size and we're both always satisfied without overeating. Every delivery order has been spot on, no mistakes.

The steak & shrimp fajitas were outstanding! Delivery was fast! I can't wait to try more of their entrees! One dissapointment was the lime shrimp. It was breaded and fried and I thought it was going to be fresh. None the less it was pretty damn good!

I have to update my review for Azteca - though they are always speedy with delivery, my fish tacos were not good the last time. Overbattered, underdone and I ended up tossing them. Oh, and don't bother with the flan. It was curdled (i.e. sweet scrambled eggs) and the masking tape on the bottom indicated it had been made 6 days prior.

If I had known what I was in for, I would have kissed that delivery guy. I ordered the Taco Lunch (shredded chicken and pastor), horchata and tortilla soup. Yes, that is a lot of food for a little gal like me, but it's hard to meet that $10 minimum! The taco lunch came in a great segmented container, which meant it wasn't a rice/beans/taco orgy when I opened it up. Everything in their proper place, and the tacos looked perfect. Not even a bit soggy. Both were scrumptious (and thank you for serving the pastor tacos with just onions, cilantro and lime as they should be!). The rice and beans also good. Good chunks of carrot, green beans, peas and corn in the rice. The horchata was also tasty. I am a sucker for good horchata and this did not let me down. Since I am now stuffed, I can't seem to eat the tortilla soup, but I did taste it and it was really good. It came with a small container filled with tortilla strips, avocado, sour cream, cilantro and lime. I will certainly be devouring that in a few hours. Delivery was very prompt - less than 30 minutes. Love it!

We got delivery from this place a couple of days ago, and it was fantastic! I got a couple of tacos, and they weren't the least bit greasy. The food tasted clean and fresh, and its possible that I will only order from here from now on. I'm used to ordering tacos, or burritos and having them arrive soggy, and impossible to eat like one should eat a burrito.

Stopped in here before a show at the Metro with our own beer and was immediately served spicy salsa and chips. The 3 taco plate included my favorites: carnitas and shrimp, and one more I can't recall but wolfed down in seconds for sure. The shrimp tacos are really good. The burritos are fresh. They are not gigantic, but definitely enough. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a deal and tasty Mexican fare---will be back. BYOB. Delivery.

This is my favorite Tex-Mex oriented establishment in the Wrigleyville area. Everything I've had here has been made with extremely fresh ingredients. I've had a couple of their salads, some of their sandwiches, some of their burritos and some of their tacos. All have been great. I actually really like their steak sandwich, although not in the tex-mex category, it is especially tasty and always a great bet. The folks there are nice and after noticing that I've been coming back again and again, they let me try out some food they were planning on putting on the menu. In other words they have been very kind and personable. Basically, it's been all positive so far.

Food tasted OK, but everything was cold when served. We never got a check in to ask if the food could be warmed up either. Also, the speaker was blown with music turned up all the way. After 30 minutes it got pretty annoying. Worth another try, but wasn't entirely satisfied with the meal.

I love Azteca de oro. Usually mexican food can feel a bit greasy and unhealthy but their food is fresh and delicious! I order here for lunch at least once every 2 weeks and really enjoy it every time. I get avocados on my tacos and they are always ripe and fresh never brown (that's a big plus for me!) Azteca de Oro is 5 star material in my book! YUM! ps I am eating it right now!

Dave P.

OK, I will be brief. Go there, go there now, go there as fast as you can run! Drive there if you live in the burbs or hop the train. But no matter how you do it, go there. I am not a five star guy, so when I say it's a five it's a five. You won't be disappointed in the food or the price. Have fun, go Azteca!!

This is the best Mexican food I have had in YEARS! The Conchita pible is so amazing! Slow roasted pork with black beans cooked in a banana leaf with fried plantains guacamole. I need not say more! Love love love this place!

Delray G.

This is the best high quality mexican restaurant around. Their nachos use shredded cheese instead of that liquid stuff, which is delicious. Their enchiladas and burritos are amazing as well, though they are pretty expensive for mexican food. $17 for nachos and enchiladas, which is double most other places.

Good food! The guacamole was awesome. It might be the second best guacamole I've ever eaten (the first was homemade... I still want that recipe!). I got a pastor burrito en suizo (sp?). The pastor was good. It had a good rich flavor and the sauce that covered the burrito was just the right amount of spice to give some nice flavor without over powering the contents of the burrito. I also tried the chicken sopes which were well done. One thing you must get here is the Horchata (the waiter, seeing that I was a gringo, called it "rice water;" but I know from my days in divey Mexican places that it is Horchata!) The Horchata is excellent, especially if you have a dish that might be a little on the spicy side. The drink instantly cools down your palette. I love that hint of cinnamon mixed with the flavorful water! I would absolutely go back if I were in the area!

Jessica S.

My first visit: very delicious food, more than enough for one person comes with the burrito dinners, and the big pieces of sirloin in my burrito were juicy and tender. The horchata was excellent, so were the churros. The prices are very reasonable, and we had an extremely patient waitress. Hope I get to visit again.

BYOB and awesome food--I had a burrito del pescado, and I ate the whole thing. This place is completely affordable with a great selection. It's quite small, so you might end up waiting for a table, but definitely worth the wait.

Went there tonight for the first time. Used a restaurant.com deal with a few friends. I got the pork enchiladas with mole as a topping (you choose mole or a salsa to put on top). I have no idea why I chose mole but I probably shouldn't have, it was okay, I just don't think mole is my thing. Otherwise the pork was good and shredded. Came with some tasty refried beans and rice. One of my friends got the baja fish tacos and enjoyed them but said they were not very filling. The other peeps got fajitas and these were quite amazing. I will definitely get these next time I go. Everything was nicely sauteed and seasoned, came with a nice plate of toppings and fresh warm tortillas. It's byob, so that's a bonus. Chiros are a tasty dessert. Warm and crunchy and chewy and sweet and sugary. Comes with some sort of jam puree thing. Love me some good mexican food. Adios! Oh, nice staff as well, although it took a little too long to get some waters and menus.

This is the best kept secret in Wrigleyville if not Chicago. You will never wait for a table, the service is fine, and above all, I have cravings for their chicken avocado sandwich on a weekly basis. Cheap, perfect... I love this place!

Updated with information below! I'm not sure whether to give them a pass on this or not. We did make an order for Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo, so maybe that was our mistake. We ordered 2 taco dinners and a side of guac and chips around 8:15pm, today, May 5th. It's not 9:45, an hour an a half later, and I think we've gone past the hunger stage and into the tired stage. I'm concerned about the shape the food will be in when it eventually (I hope) shows up. I won't let this affect my evaluation of their food, but their delivery service leaves a lot to be desired. If the food shows up and it's good, I'll change the rating, but until then... ...They showed up! Around 10ish, she was very nice and apologetic. I tried to stand tough at first by asking what happened sternly. She explained, I felt bad, we ate. And were offered 50% off our next order. I suppose that'll teach us to order Mexican on Cinco de Mayo again. As for the food, it was average. Not bad. Not good. It filled us. The chicken taco was bland and the steak taco lacked flavor. Chips and guacamole were good. Chunky guac is always welcome. Maybe the delivery time played into the taste, maybe not. We do have 50% off the next order, so we'll try again in a few weeks. Cheers.

I love this place so much that this week alone I've ordered delivery from here five, thats right FIVE days in a row. As a vegan from Cali where there are a zillion vegan options, its been tough to adjust to the meat and potatoes of Chicago. So...when I found this jem, I was ecstatic! This may be the only mexican place in the world that offers tofu as a burrito ingredient. I always get the grilled veggie burrito with tofu and jalapenos...AMAZING. Well cooked rice, non mushy black beans (thank god not refried) crisp well cooked bell peppers and onions with just the right amount of spice, a generous portion of fresh guacamole, and the tofu and jalapenos addition make a perfect burrito for vegans and non-vegans alike! I would recommend asking for extrA RED hot sauce rather then the green they bring along for those who love spicy! Also a nice touch is that they give you free chips with your order, unlike so many other places that charge for them. Also, salsa and guacamole are wonderful side orders.

I've never actually been to the restaurant, but I've ordered delivery a half dozen times now and wow. I'm addicted. Their Tacos Alambre are unbelievable. Tacos with bacon and a good portion of ribeye and poblano strips with a spicy guajillo sauce.. oh boy. I only wish they offered this in a burrito. Another favorite is the Ultimate Azteca Combo, which is perfectly cooked skirt steak, smothered with cheese and seasoned garlic-butter shrimp in a guajillo sauce. Fantastic! I've also had a variety of their regular tacos, all of which were exceptionally fresh and tasty. Portion sizes are perfect for the price. Delivery is FAST. I live in Northcenter and they regularly deliver within 20-30 minutes. Their sides are good too, the rice is tasty and the refried beans are freaking great (I'm not usually a big fan of beans, either). I highly recommend this place. They rock, the food is awesome and they're open late (till 5am on weekends!)

NACHOS= AMAZING! So delicious. Chicken nachos, carne asada nachos, chorizo nachos... all so tasty. I have made many friends try these, and they all love them. If I could eat nachos every day, I would definitely choose these nachos. Everything is made fresh upon ordering, so you sometimes have to wait a little bit. The tacos are very good, too. And, when you dine in, they bring chips and salsa to start, and then three other types of salsa with your meal. FRIED ICE CREAM! Huge portion. Four of us were full after lunch so we only ordered on to try it. So Good. They have changed the menu a couple times since last summer, and I just found out they are adding more to the menu. A couple new sandwiches and some other variations of enchiladas. AND they deliver! By the way, I mostly eat lunch or dinner here (so it is NOT a place that is only good at 2 am). Â¡Que Delicioso!

Did one of the best things I've ever eaten just arrive at my door in a greasy bag amidst a wintry mix? Why yes, yes it did. After eating a shrimp flavored burrito (yep, you read that right) elsewhere a few weeks earlier left my craving for the real thing unsatisfied, I tried again with Azteca de Oro. Since not checking Yelp before ordering a shrimp burrito had burned me before, I was not about to make the same mistake. After the reviews checked out, I noticed a little blurb at the top of the page offering free guacamole to those mentioning Yelp. I'm not a huge guacamole fan (it's got to have a lot of lime, salt, and be cut 50/50 with pico for me) but who doesn't love free? The order and delivery was pretty seamless and inexpensive even by cheap Mexican standards. It also came with a decent portion of chips and salsa. With two freebies, I would have expected 1 bag of chips, but they hooked it up and packed two. They were on my good side from the start, but would they pass the shrimp burrito test? Yes! Not only was the shrimp fresh and plump, the other ingredients (lettuce, pico, grilled peppers, grilled onions, jack cheese, cilantro) were amazingly flavorful. I'm not sure I've ever had a better burrito. Satisfied that Azteca de Oro, was legit, I decided to dip a chip in the guacamole. See, I know it sounded like I was talking about the burrito in that first paragraph, but allow me to get my M. Night Shyamalan on here. The guacamole (a dish I don't even really like) was so good that I inadvertently picked up the cup and glared at it in confusion. My mind raced to come to a conclusion as to why it was so good. It was chunky, but had no where near the amount of crap I normally require. Still, it was bursting with fresh citrus flavor, and seasoned to absolute perfection. I was sad that the free portion was only 3 oz, but thankful knowing that a full portion would have resulted in a much regretted gorge. Stage 1 of the addiction cycle has officially begun. Much like a crackhead, I would probably sell a lamp if it were the only way to get my hands on more guacamole. Thankfully, the 3oz portion is free, and the full size is a mere $6. Giving away their guacamole will make this place money hand over fist. Go get some before this place becomes too cool for school, and has a line at 4pm Tuesday afternoons.

El Bueno: The grilled veggie burrito I ordered was delicious (a little messy, but whatever, I'm a little messy). Delivery was free and there was no additional charge! Once more: Delivery was FREE and there No Additional Charge!!!!!! El Malo: My girlfriend's taco shell salad was lacking in the taco shell department. In other words, there was no taco shell. The chips that came with my burrito were not great. El Feo: Worst salsa ever.

Miranda W.

Very good. It is difficult to stand out in when it comes to small, inexpensive Mexican restaurants. There is a limited # of ingredients that are typically utilized and ALL seems pretty delicious (cover any food in melted cheese, sour cream and guac and it's a 'go' for me), but this place has an edge. They seem to have a different recipe than the rest. They mix it up a bit and the flavors are tweaked so it is actually memorable. For instance, there was fresh cilantro on the nachos....not just mixed in with the pico de gallo so you could really taste it. Suh Guhd.

A sign reads in the front door "Homemade Horchata" already that was a PIUS. Since most the horchata I've had in the city taste like the powdered crap. But what really won me over was reading the menu and seeing under desserts "Aztec fried ice cream". Could this be true? I finally found a mexican spot, who serves deep fried ice cream???? I was in denial for the moment until I made my friend ask, if they really had some and she said YES! So of course that is what I ordered. Im going to go on a rant about this because I've been on a search for deep fried ice cream for the past 10 years. Acapulco serves it but thats a chain and it is whatever. Mind you I am able to get fried tempura ice cream at Japanese and Thai restaurants, but it is not the same as the mexican kind. You know the ball of ice cream covered with corn flakes or graham crackers with a hint of coconut deep fried and served with cinnamon sugar goodness. I was watching the guy prepare it and was like wow this is the real deal. The waitress brought it over and it looked pretty. The fried ball of ice cream was in a cinnamon/sugar fried tostada bowl covered in whip cream, strawberry and chocolate syrup and a cherry on top. To my surprise when I took a bite, it was not vanilla ice cream, it was STRAWBERRY??? Different, but It was good. So I sat there and enjoyed my $4.95 dessert while everyone else was eating tacos. It wasn't the best fried ice cream, but it was satisfying. My two friends who I went with ordered tacos. Shrimp, steak and pastor. they said the shrimp was descent, pastor was good, steak was no bueno. NO FLAVOR. So don't get the steak, I've heard it more than once. Anyways I noticed this is the spot all the drunk people come to after hitting up the bars on that street, so I felt a little out of place considering I was not drunk. At the same time it's more entertaining that way. I'd only come back here if i was in the area and craving some fried ice cream. Actually I think I'm going to make it tradition every time I'm at the Metro to stop by in there.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! I've lived right around the corner from Azteca de Oro for about a year, but for some reason have never checked it out. Boy was I stupid. It is delicious. Great price for a good amount of food. They're open late and the service is extremely friendly. I had a Azteca de Oro burrito with a spinach tortilla. It was phenomenal. It had everything you would want in a burrito, plus some. Everything tasted so fresh too. My favorite part was that the burrito was wrapped well. I don't know if this bothers others, but I hate it when my burrito falls apart 4 bites in and I have to finish eating it with a fork. But no, it stayed all wrapped up so perfectly until the very last bite. Haha! It's the little things. But yes, friendly service, open late, deliciously fresh Mexican food. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Di S.

I've been ordering from here for a while now and I gotta say this place has pretty decent food, especially considering the late-night options. Their tacos are all quite splendid but my favorite is their Azteca de Oro burrito! So much goodness and quality packed into one burrito and not terribly expensive. If you're looking for a little late night Mexican delivery, this is the spot.

Theodore K.

This is a sad day. I have been ordering and enjoying azteca de oro for a few years now and have always been super satisfied with my order. The past 2 times have been shockingly disappointing. They have incremented the price up slightly but the quality of the food has dropped significantly. The steak tacos that I used to love deeply are now fatty and stringy and I can barely eat them without spitting out a few pieces of terrible meat. It just seems like they switched to cheaper ingredients and now overload verything full of cilantro...which is disgusting. The Pico de Gallo was essentially a few tomato chunks submerged in water and mixed up with a fistful of cilantro. Used to be a 5 star place..but sadly with time they have devolved into just another crappy Mexican restaurant.

Jen M.

I've eaten here before and the food was amazing. However, ordering delivery was not the same experience. Yes the delivery man was nice and fast but the tacos were inedible. Pros: Person who took my order was nice Delivery was fast My sprite was cold Cons: Steak tacos were chewy, to the point where I ate only 1 out of 3 and spit out almost all of the steak because it was all fat and hard pieces My tacos only had lettuce and tomatoes when I asked for everything My chips were good but my guacamole tasted like the plastic container it was delivered in Won't be ordering here again. There are too many Mexican restaurants that know how to make a decent taco to order here again.

Went here before a Concert. Don't know what it was. But my Fajita Burrito was 60% rice. For 8 bucks there should be a fair amount of steak. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed.

Rebecca C.

Omg! I meant to put up a picture of my Taquitos, but I killed those! They were excellent! Stuff with chicken and topped with cheese and sour cream. They were crispy and full of flavor. Such a simple dish, but so filling! It comes with a small side of salsa and guacamole. I also got a side of rice, but it wasn't that's good. I was expecting something completely different when we pulled up. I thought it was going to be a large sit down restaurant, but this is like a Noodles and Company but Mexican. You order your food, then sit down and they bring you the food. Nothing special. However, a great place for quick tasty Taqiitos!!! The reason why I only gave it three was because I'm picky when it comes to Mexican and this place was just mediocre, especially since it wasn't the hype from the other reviews. I will say, the Guacamole is excellent! I bought some to bring home and enjoy since I'm not driving and hour out that way in awhile. I will be back out for the Taqiitos, but not till the summer.

Cam M.

This has become my go to Mexican food delivery. The food is good-I've ordered: a burrito, taquitos, a quesadilla, and churros. The fat boy in me wonders why it took me this long to try churros. Very very good. Also, even better when intoxicated. They delivery pretty late and fast, even on a Sunday. I think the latest I have ordered was about 1230AM Sunday night/Monday morning. Even during more normal hours, the delivery is fast. It has been about 20mins. When I want my burrito or churro fix, it is a safe bet that I will be ordering from them.

Andrea H.

So judging by the pictures I thought this place was going to be more of a nicer Mexican restaurant but it's more of a quick serve style. We did have a waiter come to our table and everything so that was nice. I don't know how I missed the BYOB when I was looking this place up but I did so I didn't have a Margarita like I wanted for my birthday but that's ok, they made up for it with the food which was fantastic! We had 4 people at our table and only one of us had something a little wrong w our order so that's ok and they were quick to fix it. The only criticism I have is we were dealing with 2 different waiters so we ended up saying a lot of things twice and at the end of our meal I had 10% off for checking in with Yelp so I told one waiter and the other waiter brought us back a check with no discount. He fixed it thankfully, just gets a little tiring repeating yourself. Go here for some legit Mexican food, it was delicious!

My boyfriend and I have been ordering delivery from Azteca for over a year. The quality of their food has seemed to consistently decline. The steak tacos we paid $1 extra for were too chewy to be edible, thank God we ordered a pork one. The chips and salsa were ok, but the salsa was almost a watery soup, and like everything, COVERED IN CILANTRO. Ruined the entire meal. We are gonna have to start trying other places :/

Michelle W.

I used to live across the street from Azteca and came here at all hours of the day (they are open until about 4am). After many visits, I can say with full confidence that the carnitas enchiladas with verde sauce is my all-time favorite. The carnitas are full of flavor and depth, and the verde sauce is the perfect amount of heat/flavor. The guacamole is also tasty, and don't forget to order a glass of horchata. Yum! I'm not a fan of bacon in the fire grilled quesadilla, but nonetheless, it's a hearty size, even though it's listed in the appetizer section.

The food quality is great here, the atmosphere is perfectly divey without being grungy, and the location is really great. We went on a chilly wintry night, and it was so great to get some tasty Mexican fare. I had the baja fish tacos, which were great and filling. The fish fillets were cleanly fried, and weren't overly heavy. They came with rice and beans that I couldn't even finish. I'd definitely recommend them! There were two strikes against the restaurant, in my view: the baja fish tacos and baja shrimp tacos, despite being the same price, cannot be mixed and matched. You must get three of the same, which leaves no room for adventure! The other thing was that my husband ordered a shrimp burrito and a fish one came instead. AND my brother ordered some fixings on the side that came on top-- when he reminded the waitress of what he ordered, she wasn't very eager to make a new one and made him feel a little guilty about sending it back. So, even though we really liked our server, a lot of order just wasn't right when it arrived. In the end, though, they did remake my brother's dish. And my husband didn't complain, so that's on him. We'd probably come back if we were in the area... though they're not without competition for good, affordable dining in this neighborhood!

Caitlin B.

Much more fast-foodey than what majority of these photos lead to believe. For what it is, it's ok. I was disappointed as I thought it would be a little bit fancier fare/presentation for a sit down meal. My fish burrito was a tad on the salty side and peppered like crazy (I happen to like lots of pepper, but I imagine it's a bit much as the standard). Stingy on how many chips they give you with meal, but green salsa was pretty tasty. Fried ice cream - meh' - skip it. Boyfriend's burrito tasted ok too, they put a lot more in than your average burrito (corn, pico de gallo, black beans, etc), but the steak was yummy and not fatty. I'd say for a quick bite after a game or if your in the area and have a craving for basic Mexican fare it's decent, but not a spot to go out of the way for. Service was friendly.
(2)
Sandra T.

My husband and I were scouring Yelp after our game we attended at Wrigley Field. Like most places we find on a whim is via Yelp and I'm glad we did! It wasn't too busy as it was later in the evening. When we walked in there was only one other group sitting near the back. Martin, the manager, was really awesome and gave us recommendations and chips and salsa to start. I ordered three shrimp tacos, my husband ordered a torta, and we shared a horchata. Everything we had tasted so fresh and delicious!! Even the complementary chips tasted fresh. The big bonus was that if you check in via Yelp you get 10% off your order! Check this place out if you're in the area.

Russell A.

Hit or miss. I went in and a staff member was very rude- I asked if I could please have green salsa only as I am not a fan of red salsa. When I go to leave I see only red salsa. I think to myself 'maybe he didn't hear me' so I go in a week later and try it out again " can I please have green salsa only?" He rolls his eyes and takes my money. I look in the bag and guess what - RED SALSA ONLY! Come on seriously?!!!??! I give it two stars because they have a decent burrito.

Alana S.

I love this place. It is literally always less than or equal to half an hour delivery time, and the food is always awesome. My favorites are their pork pastor tacos with quac, sour cream, and pico de gallo and such, tortilla soup, fajitas, and their taquitos. Not really a giant fan of their enchiladas. My parents are piscatarians, and my dad loves the tilapia bowl and fish tacos. AZTECA IS SPICY. Not many things are mild here, so my mom, who has a sensitive tongue, cannot eat anything here besides dessert. So it's definitely kind of a treat for when my mom isn't home. Thanks for being awesome, azteca! P.s. I usually order online through Grubhub

Davin L.

These are some good ass tacos. Came here after a show down the street at the Public House Theater. They've got an impressive selection of tacos, tortas, burritos, quesadillas, and the like. You can order some of the tacos al a carte, but the best ones come in platters of three with rice and beans, including the pescado and the camaron. The food comes out quick and the service is friendly. They've got some great chimachurri sauce and a fire salsa that will definitely bring the heat. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. But I may just end up ordering the bacon and steak tacos again...

Kimberly S.

Azteca gets no complaints from me! I have never dined in, so this review is based on delivery. The service is always quick and the food is always tasty. They really have become my go-to place when I'm feeling lazy. The food has always filled us up and left us satisfied. The bowls and the tacos are a staple and you can't go wrong with them. The guacamole is fresh and the chips are crispy not soggy when they arrive. As the weather turns colder and my desire to stay indoors increases, Azteca will continue to be my go to delivery place.

Their guacamole is the best I have ever had at any Mexican restaurant. So damn good. The rest of the food tasted great and the service was really good.

I have ordered delivery from Azteca on 3 separate occasions. Each time craving a Chipotle burrito but not wanting to leave the house and each time coming away more impressed with the food and delivery service that Azteca offers. My first order was fish tacos and I can easily recommend these. The fish was fresh and the combination of ingredients on these tacos was delicious. The second and third time I ordered their Azteca chicken burrito which is a large burrito suitable for any appetite and the price is right. I can also recommend the Guacamole and chips. The Guacamole although slightly too salty for my tastes was fresh and a great dip for what seem to be made homemade chips. Overall, Azteca's food has been delivered hot and made with fresh ingredients. My only minor gripe is that the Guacamole is a bit salty for my tastes.

Food is great! Authentic. Affordable considering right down the street from Wrigley field. Friendly staff. The desserts are awesome!

This is my favorite Mexican to order for delivery. I have never seen such fast turn around. And everything is always well packaged and with the appropriate utensils and condiments. I'm a big fan of the nachos. They're loaded with all sorts of deliciousness. I've tried a lot of other things too and recently had their Baja burrito. Oh my goodness. If you like shrimp this is something you just need to try.

I eat here often for lunch. The food is good, and is made quickly. They also handle special requests. They have hiked their prices several times over the past couple years, so it's not quite as affordable as it once was, but still a good lunch option.

The Mexican food is extremely authentic and everything that they serve is fresh. I am a big fan of their steak tacos as well as their chips and salsa. The service is extremely pleasant and the restaurant is very clean. They have big screen televisions available to patrons. The only downfall is parking is pretty tight because of the area (wrigleyville).

5 stars simply for having the best horchata that I've had so far in Chicago. Everything else is an added bonus.

Jen K.

I would say this is the best place to get cheap Mexican in the North side of Chicago. The food was a great price, the meals are authentic, and portions are giant. It's BYOB. I've tried the bacon/steak tacos and the fish tacos. Also I tried the enchiladas suiza and a basic burrito. Everything is cooked well and has good flavors.

Post-Metro tacos are always a win! (Or, tacos are always a win!) I was leaving a beer release event at the Metro and was just a wee bit inebriated, and what was across the street? A taco palace! I scarfed down a taco dinner (al pastor, my one and only choice), some delicious guacamole and chips, and some of J's fish tacos (an excellent choice as well). It was glorious. The server was SO friendly. And whatever closed-captioning they had on the TV that was playing was so terrible/inaccurate/funny that I almost choked to death laughing on my horchata. I'm making this an official post-Metro stop from now on!

Decent- a little salty...but flavorful...sorry for the lame or lacking review as I forgot to complete this review from months ago.

Not bad. Good local Mexican spot. Used to get for convenience when I lived the neighborhood. Prices were a bit steep but they try to class up some of your authentic favorites with more artesianal ingredients.

Customer Service Matters Generally I do not write one star reviews, but this one deserves it. They are located in a very young part of town where several friends might like to enjoy a quick Mexican meal together. When going out it is NOT hard to split a bill with todays computer systems, but Azteca doesn't think so. They threw a fit when we tried to use 2 Credit cards and the third person tried to use Cash. I would really like to update my review, but they need to update their payment polices.

What a great place to have celebrated my girlfriend's birthday! About 30 people went there for a Saturday dinner, we ate until we were full and we stayed there drinking (it's a BYOB place) until 3am. They were extremely friendly and very cool with us, so we tipped them well and thank them to infinity. The food was actually very good too and prices were reasonable too. I'm planning to come back soon!

This is my go to Mexican place for delivery. Food is always delivered quickly and hot. I've had a variety of dishes and all have been exceptional. It's really hard to try new places because this place it's consistently great.

Azteca's food is always great! Super fast and super delicioso! The fish tacos are a great choice (tons of food!) but you also can't go wrong with a classic quesadilla. Not a lot of seating inside BYOB Fairly cheap

Aaron Jae M.

Had an amazing time here. They are BYOB so we brought in some beers and wine. I had their bacon and steak tacos which were delicious and traded one of my three for a friends fish taco which was also delicious. All the meats were cooked to perfection and matched with great vegetables.

Idk how the hell this place has so many stars, I'm in total SHOCK. Must be 20 something yr olds going here after bar crawling in Wrigleyville. This place is absolutely terrible. I just ordered a taco salad w/steak and the guy said "be there in 5 mins". Ummm, what? And NO SH*T, he was here in five minutes. I asked the driver how the hell it was so quick and he said that taco salads only take one minute to make. Now, idk about u...but I like my steak cooked fresh - NOT MICROWAVED. The steak was cold and the salad is underwhelming and lacks, well....everything. I called to complain and told them I want a hot meal, not cold steak. So I switched to a burrito. Again, 5 mins later...they're here. The tortilla was JAM PACKED with rice, about a teaspoon of meat and a shit ton of black beans. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. $20 for a small, shitty rice filled tortilla, stale chips and salsa hot enough to burn a hole through your rectum....NO THANKS. You're better off with Chipotle. At least you see them cook your food fresh.

Best fish tacos EVER. Great menu, comfortable atmosphere, food is always on the better side of excellent. Favorite taco/burrito joint after a night out drinking and also *sober* -- I think that says a lot right there. Mmm, writing this review has hit me in the craves, looks like it's what's for dinner!

I order delivery from Azteca on a weekly basis. I work nights, so it's easy to find garbage late at night when I get off work, but then Azteca came out of the mist like a burrito beacon of Mexican food glory. The real winner of the menu is the tortilla soup. Rich and savory, it eats like a magical bisque from a secret land of culinary genius. It comes with an assortment of beautiful garnish that enhances the soup, not only visually but also flavor-wise. The good always come about 30 minutes before they quote you and it's perfectly warm. Kudos, Azteca de Oro. Job well done.

Brandon S.

Over priced, poor quality food. Rice and beans were salty, tres leches was dry, and tortilla soup tasted more like marinara then tortillas. Will never order again.

Laura H.

This is the ONLY place I've had a non-soggy takeout/delivery quesadilla. And I even picked it up late, so it sat in the warmer for 10+ minutes. Grilled with tortilla filled with chicken, bacon, melted cheese, habanero salsa, & avocado. Can you think of any drippier, greasier ingredients? Yep. Not soggy or dripping. A+, five stars. Except 4 because that's the only thing I've tried here.

Oh my goodness. We stopped here on the way home from the Addison stop and BOY OH BOY are we glad we did. It was only 10AM but let me tell you, we were missing us some good ol Mexican tacos. We were craving them so bad that we were even contemplating TB(Taco Bell) BLASPHEMY. Thank You Jesus for leading us here. We got the crispy chicken tacos which were 2 bucks and some change each. They were delicious and tasted like home. They had the perfect amount of lettuce, cheese, and even a little too much meat which was perfect for the complimentary chips and salsa they brought us to munch on before we ate. They have three salsa options: a green tangy jalepeno (I think) one, a super spicy smooth red one, and a deliciously chunky tomato onion classic chip dipping salsa. My tummy was happy and this is for sure going to be my go to spot now that it is so close and so reasonably priced. In addition, they are super nice, kind, and overall great.

Bradley R.

You've read the reviews, here is the quick and simple. Decent food and selection, BYOB, food is prepared quickly, and they have a TV. Poor service and cleanliness, prices aren't ridiculous but they don't reflect what you get. I've had better, and will search for such. Late night after the bar, no doubt a better choice than McD's.

Jess K.

I only order from here online or via phone -- never have been on site. I have no faster nor more reliable restaurant from which to order. Azteca is my go-to. They are so fast (maybe because I always tip well and watch for them so they don't have to wait in the cold?), have easy online ordering, send emails for when your order is received/processed/out for delivery and great hours. My food is always good and warm. Five stars for friendly service and paying attention to order notes such as "my doorbell doesn't work -- please call me!" So good.
(5)
Joe S.

Their food would be a five star but their Mexican rice is so bland. Their dine in service is a 4 star. They do everything well, quick, friendly. Sometimes a long wait to order. BYOB. Their delivery is a 3 star. I've ordered delivery about 15 times and one of my orders was completely wrong and another order of mine got lost. Overall 4 stars...there food is too good. I would recommend this place to family and friends.
(4)
Ambrosia H.

No matter what I have ordered from here it's always so fresh and delicious. The steak is very tender and seasoned well, chicken is phenomenal. The staff is friendly. I live ten minutes away and when I get them delivered it's just as good as eating in the restaurant.

Had a terrible experience here and will never go back. I've eaten there a bunch of times and everything was fine but my most recent experience there was unacceptable. I went in there on a Sunday night not knowing that they closed at 10:30; it was around 10:20 when I walked in. The cashier told me that they were closing soon, so I didn't order the enchiladas I was going to get; I figured I'd do them a favor and just order two tacos. I saw the cashier putting the order in a paper bag and I wasn't sure if that was my order, it was my intent to eat the tacos in the restaurant quickly before they closed. When the cashier handed me the bag, I said that I intended to eat them there. It was a cold night and my friends had not yet arrived at the bar I was going to. The cashier gave me a problem about it, saying that they were closing. It was 10:23. I argued with him about it and after exchanging some nasty words, he had to let me stay. When I opened the bag, the tacos were not made to my specifications. I asked for onion and cilantro, no cheese, and the tacos were made with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. I told the cashier about this and he didn't apologize or take any responsibility for the error. If I had allowed him to kick me out, I would have left with tacos that I didn't want. I didn't even make them make them the right way, I just ate their nasty tacos and exchanged words with the cashier, and although I never cursed at him, he told me that I "could get the f--k out of here." I felt like I could have fought this guy had his coworkers not talked with him. I've never been treated like this anywhere. We all work jobs, and we all have to work until the end. If you close at 10:30, and your doors are open at 10:20, you are supposed to serve the customer, not just take their money, tell them they can't stay, and mess up their order on top of it. I don't know who their management is but that cashier was wrong all the way, and to tell a customer that they "can get the f--k out" should be grounds for firing. I will never in my lifetime set foot in Azteca de Oro.

I had the nachos, which I'd recommend. Whether home-made or store bought, their guac is excellent. I felt the nachos a little overpriced for what I actually got, but service was attentive and of course, the food was great.
(3)
Shawn R.

I would normally give Azteca four stars; great enchiladas, burritos, their nachos and chips and salsa are always good but I'm just annoyed by something today: Seven f'in' dollars for a cafeteria-small-sized cup of tortilla soup? That's only 3/4 filled? C'mon. Tapatio, which we alternate ordering from, has a similar (thinner broth, but a bit tastier over all) soup that comes in a goddamned bucket with rice on the side for the same price. The wife and I can split and be full on that alone. I hope they adjust either the size or the price soon because I always want the soup but then I'm just bitter at the price. I shouldn't be bothered with cheap serving sizes when I'm dropping north of $50 on delivery for two. Everything else is solid, and they're the fastest delivery Mexican available up here, but I'm really cheesed off about this soup thing.

Dana O.

Great nachos, they are salty and delicious. The guacamole is fresh and has tomatoes mixed in with it, giving it little crunch and slightly richer flavor. Delivery comes fast and the food is always fresh. Mexican food is always an iffy delivery food because sometimes it is soggy and is only lukewarm by the time it is delivered. Azteca de Oro does not have this problem, and I don't live close by so I was initially worried that I would be getting cold food. Cheap and fast delivery, and the meats they use (especially the chicken) are great quality. I definitely recommend.
(4)
Bri A.

Since my last review a few years ago, I have ordered from here numerous times. Delivery is always quick and the food is hot and fresh. The mole is decent and curbs my cravings. I usually get the fish tacos, tacos racheros or the Azteca De Oro burrito. The burrito reminds me of Chipotle, except it's a little cheaper and you don't have to spend $2 extra for guac on it!

I've been here several times and the food is pretty good as well as the prices. I've dined in and ordered to go. The place is pretty small and intimate inside and I believe it is byob. The items I have enjoyed are the fish tacos guacamole and chicken tacos. The service is good and the ordered are made on the grill in eye view rather quickly. I would recommend this place if you are in the area craving Mexican food but would not advise anyone to travel out of their way.

Mucho Guston Azteca De Oro!!! Our journey started on a cold and windy Friday night the weather was not good but we knew exactly how to improve things and set out for Mexican and BYOB margaritas. The idea was good but the plan did not go as smoothly as planned the place we where off to had no parking and after circling the blocks 4 or 5 times we decided to pull out our trusting Iphone with its Mexican BYOB radar and find another place to enjoy our Friday night. Beep Beep Beep.... 3731 N Clark St Chicago, IL 60613 Azteca De Oro was the place it was sending us to. This place is just north of Wrigley field so its not that easy to find parking but luck was on our side unlike my Chicago Cubs and we found a spot pretty fast and close to the restaurant. The letters BYOB were plastered on the window some great letters to see. Azteca De Oro is a small place with the kitchen and service counter right in the middle of the restaurant you can smell the aromas of Mexican food as you walk in and they smell good. There are only about 6 or 8 tables and a self service soda fountain for the non drinking folks which we are not. We sat down and asked the server asked if we needed a drink we asked for some glasses with ice and she brought some real nice steam bowl shaped glasses. The nice glasses were not what we expected but a very pleasant surprise we pulled out our mobile margarita factory and poured away, ahhhhhh!!!! A quick glance at the menu and all they offer all the basics plus more at more then reasonable prices. We first ordered the queso fundito it came out bubbly hot with chorizo and peppers woven in the cheese and a side or tortillas to roll your own. The dish was very good and enough for 4 to share a solid app and always a good start for Mexican. There are 8 or 10 different kind of taco fillings and we had 3 two different pork and one steak the pork filling was my fav as the steak was more ground up not pieces of steak the toppings where crisp and fresh. The dinner comes with beans and rice 3 tacos for 8.50 pretty good deal. We will explore the menu more the other dishes we saw coming out looked great. The presentation and plating of the food was nice not slop on a plate but neat garnished not what I expect at a small somewhat take out looking place. We ended with churro fried doe served with chocolate sauce and whipped cream and a cool swirl of raspberry on the plate made it look pretty. They also had fried Ice cream we will try that also looked good and make for a happy ending. The service was great and prompt and they cater to BYOB bringing glasses and ice or a bucket to keep wine or beer cold. The only negative is it probably is crazy when the cubs are playing but all in all Azteca De Oro hit it out of the park GRAND SLAM.

Tried the Baja Fish Tacos and they were fabulous! Never thought I would be so satisfied with fish tacos delivered. They are awesome! Azteca de Oro continues to provide high quality, fresh food. You can't get better. Ahhh, the Cochinita Pobil crosses my mind multiple times, daily. Hence, why I am randomly updating. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their habanero sauce that comes accompanies the pork. My god, it is so addicting. Oh, and my goodness try their horchata. Perfect. Seriously, one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. This is a hidden gem. What happened to your lunch menu, Azteca? Boo. I still love you.

YUM! This place is really good! We walked in at at freakin' 11:40ish on a Thursday night because the Red line was doing some sort of construction that left only 1 track open for 3 or 4 trains going in both directions... go figure. The workers though, were nice and let us order and eat there. Although, the guy who took our order, cleared our place settings after we sat down and asked us if we were eating there. Uh, yes we are. I understand though. By this time it was 11:50PM and they were still making our food. It's ok. We showed them. We eat fast :) So we got the tortilla soup, which was AWESOME. I've never had tortilla soup before, but I can tell you it was great and hit the spot on a cold, rainy Chicago night. The soup itself wasn't salty AT ALL and the freshly fried tortilla chips on top went great with the soup. At the very bottom were avocados. Hah. I could also taste the freshness of the cilantro in the soup. Mmmmm. I can just taste it now! We also ordered the fish tacos that everyone raved about. I have never had a fish taco. *Gasp* I know. But yes, never. It was good. Nicely fried and had this good cabbage slaw that went on top of it. The pilaf it came with though, passable. All in all a great meal and we were out by 12:04AM!

Love this place everything is always fresh!! Great food service and very friendly staff that greets you as you enter the door. Some things are more Americanized for the neighborhood. Also they have deserts too love the fried ice cream everyone should try it out. Alot of people for lunch are from the area for the Cubs stadium which seemed like a good majority of the customers come check them out!!!

Jacky W.

This place was so unbelievably good. I absolutely love Mexican and this place was the best that I've had in Chicago. It's a rather casual decor (though that didn't stop us from wearing our "going out" clothes). The service was very nice and friendly - we brought a bottle of wine and our waitress brought a bucket of ice for us to put it in! You start with chips & spicy salsa. I had the chicken fajitas and my friend had the conchinita pibil - both were fresh and extremely flavorful. I will be going back ASAP.

Louise Z.

Hate Wrigleyville, but love Azteca. My friends always rave about this place so when I had it for the first time, I finally understood why. Food is hot, not greasy and really fresh. I've only been once or twice but if I traveled more frequently to the area, I would probably go more. It's also BYOB which is always fun!
(5)
David C.

Pleasantly surprised. It appears, from the outside, to be just another one of the "hole in the wall" mexican joints that dot the city. But, this place stands out. It's a very clean, well maintained dine-in restaurant. It's a little small and lacks the ambiance of larger more expensive restaurants. BUT, the food is totally on par with more upscale mexican places; for example - Adobo Grill. Ingredients are fresh. Prices are very reasonable. It's BYOB which I love. But, I miss not having a margarita. Can I bring a pitcher of margaritas with me? Service is very friendly and attentive. Their website is also very good. You can order online.

Whenever we have a taste for Mexican food, Azteca is the first place that comes to mind. I've been their customer over 3 years. Their delivery, takeout, and dine in are all impressive! Our fave dishes are the tilapia bowl, the carne asada, the tres quesos enchiladas and of course the guacamole! Btw we always have great conversations about Cubs history with their staff when we dine in. Great Mexican place!

Reggie P.

So Azteca de Oro placed menus all throughout my apartment building a couple months ago, but I've neglected to order from them. Until now, Azteca de Oro offers cheap, quality Mexican food at affordable prices. At first I was expecting a glorified Chipotle, Habanero Grill or Burrito Beach since it didn't seem like an authentic Mexican place, yet the quality of the food surpasses these chains! Excellent corn tortilla rolls, tacos had a nice blend of queso fresco and had the option to choose three different types of tacos for their dinners! Best of all, delivery in 15 minutes (and I live about 3/4 mile away). Will be my go-to Mexican food place in the Lakeview area!

Arlene A.

Azteca has changed quite a bit since my last review, and not for the better. I understand every business wants to turn a profit, but if it's at the expense of fresh food and proper portion sizes... it won't turn out well. We used to order from Azteca at least once every other week, the quick delivery and tasty food was a great last minute option when we didn't want to cook. Lately, not so much. I've received tres leches cake that was 10 days old! I knew this because the "made on" date was on the bottom. Oh, and by the way, not a fan of the attitude I got when I called to let them know about it. The sides of rice and beans have gone up over a buck, and don't get me going on the new policy of no french fries with the torta's. Getting a child sized handful of stale tortilla chips does not constitute getting the job done. So disappointed to have to find another local go-to for take-out Mexican.

Excellent and authentic Mexican food! I can't believe I had not visited this place earlier. My favorite thing was the variety of spicy salsas, which are so difficult to find in lakeview. I recommend to Cochinita Pibil entree.

Roy G.

Not the most authentic mexican joint, but it's really good for a chicago place. I got the wet burrito, and it was massive. The carne asada was really good inside it, and they had some salsas without cilantro as an option. Bonus for cilantro-haters!
(4)
Mironda R.

Looks can be deceiving! This place may not have a fancy art deco layout but it has some top notch food and worth a wait to eat it fresh off the heat! Me and my friend started with the Empanadas de Camaron - corn masa turnovers stuffed with marinated shrimp, served over green tomatillo sauce and they did not disappoint. For the main dish, I ordered the quesadillas and my friend ordered the burrito. Both were mahvelous and filling! I can't wait to get back or at least order in!

Patricia R.

Went here for the first time - authentic Mexican food. Better then all the surrounding restaurant I have checked out. Plus its very reasonable. The owner let me try all their different sauces they use for their food. Taste was supreme. Will definitely be there to try their other dishes.
(5)
Jelena Z.

Burritos? Yes, they will do. Tacos? Mhm. Just okay. Steak sandwich? Not so good, not at all... the steak was sub-par, the bread unextraordinary and the lettuce? Brown, warm and wilted. And, the pepper jack cheese wasn't even melted. Hello, melted cheese make everything better. Sad face! The nicest delivery people in the world work here! However, there are much better Mexican restaurants on the area... finding ones that deliver is the problem, however.

D D.

We have tried at least 15 mexican places in and around lakeview/wrigleyville/lincoln park and every time we just keep coming back to Azteca. The azteca burrito is the best and pretty much only good item we have tried on the menu(i love chicken she loves shrimp). This place could really blow up if their chips and salsa were better and the rest of the menu were a little better. Update: some days the food is better than others and we have had a couple of not so good azteca burritos lately, wish it were a little more consistent.
(4)
Jason T.

I've walked past this place a few times and decided to order based upon the good reviews, menu and proximity to home. I was not disappointed. I was also pleasantly surprised as when they said as soon as possible for delivery they meant it. 10-15 minutes after I ordered my food already arrived. I was unsure if the crispy tacos would still be crispy but they sure were. Everything was delicious and I've never had delivery arrive so fast and on a Saturday night nonetheless. I will be returning to try more off of their yummy menu. The food was delicious and had a great presentation. I don't normally make reviews but I felt compelled.

Luke T.

The fish tacos at Azteca were absolutely some of the best I've ever eaten. I discovered the restaurant thanks to Yelp while looking for a quick dinner that wasn't McDonald's before I had to dash to the L to catch my bus back home from a show at the Metro across the street. Azteca had good reviews and I figured Mexican is usually done quickly. Not even the reviews could have prepared me for those fish tacos. Man, they were delicous. Not only that, but the associate who helped me was delightfully pleasant. She was inquisitive about why I was in town and made me feel at home in her establishment. When I next visit Chicago, I would love to have an actual sit down meal at Azteca when I'm not in such a rush to get out the door.

Nadine P.

This place has really great authentic mexican food for really reasonable prices!! After working in a very authentic mexican restaurant for nearly 2 years, I can be very skeptical of "authentic" mexican, but this place is great! Don't get me wrong, the menu is supplemented with some americanized and tex-mex alternatives, but their authentic dishes are on point! My boyfriend and I were in town for the Chicago marathon and we came here twice during the weekend! For starters the free chips and salsa are a nice starter. The salsa is DELICIOUS! It is on the spicy side, but we love spicy food so it wasn't a problem. The chips weren't great, but they served as a great transportation device for tons of the delicious salsa. We started off with the guacamole and a taco each. The guacamole was great--perfect balance of salt, lime, and spice, but again, it would have been better with different chips. I had the chorizo taco on a corn tortilla and it was great. Really loaded with chorizo! My boyfriend had the carnitas pibil and it was amazing! The pork was slow cooked in this delicious sauce!! For an entree I opted for the chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. The chicken inside was nicely seasoned and not dry, and the salsa was great! It was much spicier than any other verde I've tried, but the heat did not overpower the taste of the cilantro and tomatillos. On visit 2 I opted for the fish tacos after reading all the reviews. They are really good, very fresh, and they don't skimp on the fish! I couldn't even finish all 3! The prices were extremely reasonable and the service was very friendly and helpful on both of our visits. I wish I had more time in Chicago to try even more of the menu!!

Have lived within two blocks of Aztecz for the last 5 years and this is my go-to place for Mexican. Food is great, staff is very friendly, remembers you and your order as regulars. Definitely bring our out-of-town guests here when they come to visit. Favorite dishes - torta cubana sandwich, chicken flautas, and of course the taco lunch special is great deal.

Danielle A.

We've been in Chicago for nearly 7 years, and we've spent most of that time looking for a "go-to" Mexican restaurant. Trust me, we've exhausted a ton of options. Then, we found Azteca de Oro. We were up late on a weekend and went to GrubHub to find a spot to eat. Azteca was delivering until very late and we figured, "Why not give it a shot?" The rest, as they say, is history. We live in Andersonville, and I'm not sure how we missed this Wrigleyville spot for so long. Though, I'd rather not think about that. Our lives are divided into two eras: B.A.D.O. and A.A.D.O. (before & after ADO). We order from here at least once a week. We've tried a lot of stuff, but we have our favorites: chicken nachos (the chicken isn't the bland dry stuff you usually find, it's moist and flavorful), fish tacos, flautas, steak tacos, and we never place an order without the tortilla soup--it's some of the best I've ever had. Aside from the delicious food, the care they put into delivery really is what hooked us. The tacos come individually wrapped so they don't get soggy. The soup has sides of fresh avocado, crisp tortilla strips and cheese--all packaged individually. The vegetables are always fresh, and ADO manages to avoid the trap so many casual Mexican restaurants fall into--serving homogenous piles of like-colored menu items with ingredients that are difficult to identify. This is REAL food.

Jeff G.

I'm assuming Azteca is great when dining in. With all the 4+ star reviews it must be amazing. However, delivery sucked. For two burritos an order of nachos, plus delivery fee and tip - 40 bucks. Are you kidding me? I can get a better tasting burrito for half that at Chipotle. Delivery was quick, but the food was cold when it arrived. The nachos had solidified. They seriously looked like they'd been sitting around all day. All in all, each item was bland; no flavor at all Perhaps when we're in the area, we'll give dining-in a chance, however, we'll never order from this place again.

This place has great Mexican food. The Queso Fundido appetizer is so good and tasty. The burritos and quesodillas are great. I have also have the gaucamole. Try the chiros for dessert. They are delish! The restaurant itself is small. The service is fast and the price is reasonable. Delivery is also fast. If you are craving good Mexican food, this is the place to try!

Looking for consistently great and fresh Mexican food? Order from Azteca de Oro. I've ordered from them numerous times and have never been disappointed. Simply great, fresh and CONSISTENT food!! I've always ordered delivery. Always on time, most times earlier than estimated and never any mistakes. The fajitas are great. Nice big slices of white chicken breast, fresh onions and peppers. Hot flour tortillas. they also come with the usual condiments on the side (sour cream, guac, pico, cheese). The fajitas dish comes with a side of rice and black beans. The burritos are great as well. I wish I could review more dishes but I tend to re-order the same meal once I've found something I enjoy.

Let me preface this review by saying that I had an order delivered at 4:30am, and no, I wasn't nearly as drunk as I should have been on a Friday night ordering Mexican food at that hour.... This place was sooooo good. The guacamole is more of a pico/guac which I love! It was chunky with a fresh knife cut salsa throughout. The grilled quesadilla actually came loaded with bacon, and your choice of meat with guac and sour cream on the side. That's all fine and good, but lets move onto the burrito. I got the signature 'Azteca de Oro' burrito, loaded down with grilled chicken, jack-cheddar cheese, guac, sour cream, rice, black beans and pico de gallo. Holy crappity crap this thing was gooooood. The chicken was grilled perfectly, cut into large tender chunks. I have to give these guys some credit, for $7.50 this thing was massive and intensely fresh. I wouldn't often say this, but this place is worth a day time stop in. Not to mention that they deliver all day until 5am. Well played. You will definitely be hearing from me soon, maybe tomorrow...

FISH TACOS ARE THE BEST! This was my first time in Chicago and on a hungry Sunday morning after seeing Wrigley Field and walking all the way upto Julius Mienl and being told that we will have to wait for an hour, we walked into to this unassuming Mexican restaurant around the corner. LOCATION: Being next to Wrigley's makes it a great location. DECOR: The restaurant's decor was simple and clean. FOOD: We ordered Fish Tacos (as was recommended on Yelp) that came with Chips and Salsa (absolutely free). The Tacos were absolutely deliciously! We also ordered the Fried Ice-cream (the picture on the Menu was very tempting) but it wasn't good at all. The ice-cream was very hard. I will definitely go here again to eat the Fish Tacos!

Two words: Carnitas Enchiladas I don't eat the stuff, but if my mom told us how good her enchiladas were once more, we were going to smack her.

Ok, let me start by saying my review may not be totally unbiased. I came here on a Monday night after I had started a week-long detox/protein shake only diet. I know, I'm a nut case, hence why I came to cheat on my diet with a burrito. Maybe it was the thought that I wouldn't be eating solid food for a week, but EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! The guac? Fresh as hell. The carne asada? Tangy, salty deliciousness. FOR SURE, get the tres peppers fajita burrito! SO good. (While I picked off my friends' plates, I did not share one bite of mine.) My friend got the burrito suizo, but wasn't really a fan of the red sauce they used. My other friend ordered the flautas, which she said she like, but didn't finish. Now being the pig I am, I picked off both of their plates. My verdict? It was ALL SO DELICIOUS. Again, I was probably food delirious, but I would hands down totally go again.

Danielle G.

I already loved the food. This review is for the service. I placed an order for pick-up. I walked pretty far to pick it up and bring it home. Once I got home and opened it I realized right away my order was wrong. (Pretty obvious since I ordered Suiza). I called them not expecting much. They immediately offered to deliver me the corrected order and got it to me before I could blink. Nice work guys. Definitely ordering again.

Azteca de Oro No Moro. We've given this place a couple of tries. Ordered online. The delivery was relatively fast for a Saturday night. That said, I am repeatedly disappointed by the quality of the food. Though my wife likes the numerous vegetarian options, I find the "skirt steak" found in both my tacos and quesadillas to be more akin to ground up dog food. Fine, you can call it "ground beef" but it certainly isn't skirt steak. For example, when you order a skirt steak fajita or other item from Uncle Julio's, it's actually tasty, identifiable meat; this stuff from Azteca was grey, not sliced as you would find a skirt steak, and certainly not delicious. The guacamole is pretty good. The salsa is nice. However, be aware that the restaurant charges for salsa as well as extras such as cheese and sour cream. In all, I'll go to one of the numerous other options before ordering from here again. On the plus side, it's Mexican...something about being over faster than shit through a goose.

More like a 3.5 star. This place was a little better than okay only because it was probably one of the best guacamole I've ever had. It's free if you mentioned yelp, but it seriously tasted like I paid over $6 for it! As for the tacos, I only went to this place, which is out of the way for my side of the neighbor because of the fish tacos reviews. Eh, not so special here. Just okay. I recall it being really colorful (see photo) but can't remember the taste (oo not a good sign) The shrimp taco I got was still cold. I didn't want to say anything, but it was definitely frozen and undercooked. I was too sad to even complain. I just made a note never to get it again. Boo. The overall plating of was nice (no baskets, but white plates ooo!) and the waitresses were cool. If I'm in the area, I'd bring a huge bag of tortilla chips and go back for the guacamole :)

First of all, I should disclaim my review by confessing that I've never actually been to the restaurant. I only order form them via delivery.com or foodler.com . However! I have ordered from them numerous times and loved everything I've ordered. The taco salad is the best I've had in the city. Most other places are either similar to an actual salad, with a small scoop of meat, or are totally greasy and disgusting. Theirs is in a nice, small and non-greasy shell with tasty, fresh ingredients. Plenty of lettuce, but not so much that it's actually a 'salad.' It even has corn and actual black beans, which pleases me to no end. Their salsa verde is super spicy. I ordered the enchiladas tonight, with salsa verde, and they were so spicy and cheesy I could barely handle it. My favorite from them though is their carne asada quesadilla. A lot of places around here do a small, thin tortilla with meat and cheese that's folded over. Azteca de Oro's idea of a carne asada quesadilla are two full sized thick tortillas, almost the thickness of pitas, with tons of meat and cheese sandwiched in between. Delicious! I've ordered from them probably a dozen times and it's always been speedy quick, with wonderfully friendly delivery folks and my order has always been correct - no matter the time I order. I have never eaten anything from Azetca that didn't taste super fresh, non-greasy and tasty. Of all the Mexican joints I've tried in the area (and there have been a few) they're easily my favorite. When I consider the free delivery and low minimum order, I really have nothing but great things to say about Azteca!

My FAV burrito joint in the city! This is one of those places that I'm shocked I haven't reviewed yet. I've lived down the street from here for about 4 years, and to be honest I wasn't thrilled the first few times I got my burrito fix here. I didn't give it another chance until about a year ago, and I am now straight up addicted. Their Tres Peppers Shrimp burrito is AMAZZZINGGG! Sososo good! It's hard to find shrimp burritos in the city, period (meaning at "burrito joints", not sit-down nice Mexi-restaurants), and these exceed my high expectations. My boyfriend usually gets a mix of meat tacos (beef/chicken/pork) and loves them. Possibly the BEST salsa in the city. It's super fresh with tons of cilantro, and reallllyyy spicy. I am the queen of all things spicy, and this salsa leaves my tongue burning in the most delicious of ways. Oh, and the horchata is phenomenal! Other positives besides the food: Easy online ordering. Friendly staff. They call to let you know your pick-up is ready. Fast delivery. Open late.

By far the best Mexican food i've found in all of Chicago in the last 10 years of living here. Not only is everything amazing, but their delivery is super fast and they take great pride in getting it right. Their tacos are are great and their nachos are my absolute favorite!

This place is the most consistent delivery mexican food I find in the city, not my favorite mexican but pretty solid. The cheese enchiladas are really tasty, and they substitute as you wish without a hassel. the chicken and talapia bowls are healthy options as are the taco platters. they deliver on their own as well as via grub hub If you order the green tomatillo sauce which is really good, know it has a kick. the red sauce is hot!

Solid Mexican food in the Wrigleyville area. I recommend the Pastor Burrito with habenero salsa. Definitely stop in if you're hungry and looking for good Mexican.

Dennis L.

Azteca de Oro was a welcome surprise! My wife and I found ourselves in Wrigleyville looking for a quick somewhat healthy lunch. We are always suckers for Mexican restaurants, and we decided to visit Azteca de Oro after reading other reviews on Yelp. I am so glad that we did! The Tres Peppers burrito with shrimp was outstanding! The flavors were fresh and the shrimp tasted great! My wife's steak burrito was just as delicious. Free chips and salsa are always a plus! The service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance leaves a bit to be desired, but I did like the open kitchen. Well done!

Christy L.

I was craving Mexican one cold night this winter and decided to try Azteca de Oro based on the raving Yelp reviews! The food arrived quickly and was less greasy than I expected for Mexican delivery. I was particularly impressed, especially for the area, as Wrigleyville isn't exactly known for quality food choices. I'll be ordering again, and maybe even dine-in (with a few BYO beers)...

I can't believe I've never been to Azteca before. I have walked by this restaurant probably hundreds of times and never stopped and I'm almost disappointed in myself because this place is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. I love Mexican food and would eat it every night if I could. I have been to several Mexican restaurants, trying them all out, the high-end ones, the mid-priced ones, and the reasonable ones and Azteca ranks above all of them. The restaurant itself is small - maybe 10 tables. There's tv's up in the corner, the kitchen is right in the middle. You sit down kind of thinking..those Yelpers have fooled me..there is NO way THIS place is 5 stars...but it IS! The food is so fresh - we had chicken taquitos as an appetizer and they were great...there was not a spec of grease on them...the chicken was tender and flavorful along with the guac....the chips and salsa...same thing...the salsa was SO fresh and the chips came out warm! hhheeavveen! Onto dinner...I had the shredded chicken tacos and hubby had the some sort of beef...again..SO fresh...and just the right amount of food. I was actually full after one and took the remainder home...but again, veggies were fresh, meat was tender...everything was just amazing. Naturally, since I was taking most of my meal home for leftovers..that means I saved room for dessert so we had fried ice cream which was ALSO incredible. I can't say enough great things about this place...on top of everything being so fresh...it's all reasonable AND BYOB! So you can enjoy ALL that food at a reasonable price..I think our bill after chips/salsa, taquitos, tacos, and fried ice cream..was $30. Azteca, I'm so sorry I've been living in the city forever and never given you a shot...I'm truly ashamed of myself. I will be back, that is for sure!

I no longer live in Chicago but I had to give this place five stars. Seriously we only did take out once but probably had delivery from here on a bi weekly basis. We were only a few blocks but sometimes delivery is just the way to go. The delivery lady was also always so nice and had it to us in no more then 15 minutes every time. I travel to Chicago a ton but haven't made it back up but I'm going to in the near future.

As someone who hates cilantro (& I don't like your judgement), it's a pretty big deal for me when I order food, and there's absolutely no cilantro. Not a fleck! This place has gotten it right a million times, and their taco salad (which, honestly, is the only thing I've ordered each of the million times) is b-o-m-b.
(5)
Alexis G.

I went there with a group of 13 and they have enough room to accommodate us and the service was pretty good. The chips and salsa were good but the chips never got refilled but the food came in a good amount of time considering the size of our large party. I got two steak tacos and they were really good! The only thing that was kinda disappointing is that I don't like tomatoes and forgot to tell them and so when Igot the tacos the tomatoes where on the bottom of the meat and cheese.I am sure people who like for their tomatoes not to fall off love that. Otherwise super good and I will definitely be back!

So, Foodler is my boyfriend this week...apparently, since I refused to go out in this weather and/or cook. Or buy groceries. (Ok, that's a winner for most pathetic statment EVER, but moving on...) :::::ahem:::::: Starting over. Mexican delivery can be quite tricky, indeed. I mean, those five ingredients (cheese, tortilla, avocado, tomato, meat) can congeal into some horrific substances in the drive over, for real. El Ranchito? eh. OK, at 4am. The fact that deliver 22 hours a day is impressive though... So Azteca pops up, and only has a $10 minimum. Hoooooooray, I can avoid the $40 bill I rang up at Cafe Orchid the other night. (Born of sheer stubbornness and my inability to forgo falafel on the particular night). Regardless, ok...$10 let's do this. Surprisingly hard, actually. This stuff is cheap! $7 Azteca de Oro Burrito with Carnitas. (whole wheat tortilla!) Chips & Guac & Salsas: $5 Side of beans: $2. Nice! After perusing the menu a bit...it's kind of random (um, they have french fries!?) but also kind of...awesome. Like, you can order burrito bowls (for when I feel like going on a carb protest), or big Fiesta salads (for when I feel the need for vegetables) and sides of steamed veggies, brocolli, etc. Not a bad selection...especially if you are trying to count calories AND get delivery food, which usually tends to be craptastic, calorie-wise. All said and done and a $3 tip for the delivery gals (a mom and her cute little daughter), it was around $16 or so. Bueno. I like. Burritos that show up at my house hot, lovely. Foodler is back in my good graces.

Awesome local Mexican restaurant. If you live close or are in the Wrigleyville area to catch a game or at the bars this is a solid Mexican food option. It is quick, reasonably priced, open late, and byob. Good for a late night drunk food option, but even better as a quick and easy lunch or dinner meal. Burritos will fill you up, and taste great.

Cynthia R.

I just had to update my review because I LOVE this place. It is a bit pricy but its worth it. They are the only taco place I order from I always order delivery, which is the quickest and most efficient that I have ever had. I also started to order online because its fast and I saved my order so all i had to do was clique a few buttons. One day i decided to call and when the guy on the phone realized it was me he was like "miss Rios!" That made my day and was the best customer service I had had just the fact that he was so happy and knew who I was even though I always order online made me realize that the stuff does pay attention to their customers and their needs. Now about the food these tacos are amazing!!!! They are always really warm when they get to my house and they are pure meat i get steak and it has no fat on it which I LOVE. Also, the churros are AMAZING always fresh and warm with a side of chocolate. Azteca de Oro will forever be my taco place good job keep up the AMAZING work.

I'll start by saying that I'm from the south...where Tex Mex is king. So when I moved to Chicago my taste buds had some adjustments to make when it came to really good Mexican food. This place moved to the top of my favorites list after the first bite. I was floored. My friend and I dined in right as the restaurant opened so the chips were warm and the salsa was chilled to perfection. We ordered a small guacamole that was packed full of huge chunks of fresh tomato, onion, and jalapeno and well...it didn't last long. Definitely worth the $3.99. For entree's my friend had the Azteca de Oro burrito with carnitas. When it came out the food was literally bursting from the tortilla. It was packed with black beans, rice, guacamole, cheese, and marinaded carnitas. We could have easily split the burrito, but that's no fun when you're trying a place for the first time! I chose the carnitas enchiladas with the salsa verde accompanied with rice and beans. The portion was huge and again could have been split between 2 people. I am a huge enchilada snob and these were just fantastic. The corn tortillas were warm, the carnitas were exploding with flavor, and the chihuahua cheese and spicy salsa verde added just the right amount of heat. I was able to "check-in" while I was sitting there and get 25% off of our meal. So it was extremely affordable for lunch. This is a place that I hope to regularly order from, whether I have time to dine in or I need it delivered.

Delicious food and prompt delivery (seriously) but Im only giving them four stars because they gave me plenty of taco shells but only a tiny portion of rice and beef. I'm short and slim, so I'm not asking for much.......Im still hungry *wompwomp*

Jon A.

Awesome food! Delivery is fast and useful. I love their chicken tacos, the meat was cooked good and lots of great seasoning. It so simple but it tastes clean. Their desserts are very good such as the churros and their homemade cookies. I would eat here any day of the week. It's ine of my top Mexican restaurants in Chicago.!! Great food
(5)
EL G.

This place is definitely worth checking out if you're in Wrigleyville. Although nothing on the menu floors me, you won't be disappointed with any of the food on the menu. They have a consistent product and they do a good job with everything I have tried on the menu. I live across the street and have probably ordered 8-10 different times. The tacos, the burritos, and the tortas are all good to very good. The service is average to above average. I give mad props to the kitchen guys though because you can tell that they work hard as hell and keep it fresh. A little on the pricey end but I am willing to pay a little more for fresh ingredients. Keep up the good work.

Pete S.

Have had Azteca delivered 5 or 6 times in the last few months... Conversation usually goes like this: Me: "how about delivery tonight?" Wifey: "ok, let's get the good Mexican" Me- "done and done" As you can see, "good Mexican" azteca in our house. It also means a burrito bowl for here, and the steak and shrimp combo for me (amazing sauce with this one) Usually arrives in less than 40 min, which is nice.
(4)
Amy L.

This is a go to when Mexican delivery is in order. The place is a step above your standard taqueria. They use fresh and quality ingredients. I'll take a veggie burrito with black beans, peppers, onions, and rice over wilted, shredded iceberg lettuce and canned re-fried beans any day. The guacamole is fantastic as well. My favorite thing on their menu, fish tacos. Amazing. I really don't have much to say other than the food is fantastic and they deliver late and quickly. What more can you ask for?
(5)
Kim D.

I ordered dinner from here on grubhub during a snowstorm. It took a half hour longer than their promised time so it arrived cold. But once I sat down to eat, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the cheese enchiladas(with hot red sauce) and chicken tortilla soup. Both were super spicy...just the way I like it. Looking forward to trying some other menu items.

Cristina G.

The best tacos I've ever had at 2 am!!! Unexpectedly delicious- Hanging out in one of my least favorite neighborhoods in Chicago we found ourselves hungry after leaving a local bar and decided to get some tacos. I really thought I was going to end up at some greasy taco joint, and at 2 am there aren't many choices so I was fine with it. We entered Azteca and ordered and were surprised to see fresh ingredients and hot tortillas without a drop of oil or grease on them. Not only that, but the tacos were delicious and our server very nice. If we lived near there we would get delivery for sure.
(4)
Elisabeth C.

My veggie burrito (got a spinach tortilla) was awesome and loaded with delicious grilled veggies. My boyfriend's enchiladas were okay and carnitas torta (yes, he eats that much!) was pretty good. Based on the food, we would have given four stars. Mine especially seemed pretty healthy for Mexican food, it wasn't greasy at all- some other places seem to make even veggie burritos super greasy and gross. However, our food arrived ICE COLD. Not even a hint of warmth: colder than room temperature. Also, boyfriend's food had been seriously jostled around like someone had been swinging the bag in the air or something! Food was four stars (not greasy, pretty tasty and overall much better than other Mexican delivery options around here) but service drops it down to three. Hopefully this was just a one-off, and we'll probably order again (and of course update if things improve).

Cheyanne M.

I've ordered here through Grubhub. I really liked the fish and veggie taco's. It might sound silly but I can't remember them really but I know they were good. That might mean that they are forgetable but good none the less. I would probably eat here again since they are close

Chelsea M.

Delicious food every time :) whether we're dining in or getting it delivered, the food is consistently really good and tastes fresh..not to mention thd fact that they're super fast. I'm always happy with this place. I used to always just get the taco dinner with beef tacos, lately I've been addicted to the fish tacos though
(5)
Demis P.

Their food is really fresh and authentic tasting. I have been a customer ever since they started. They started with very big portions but as they got popular and known they scaled down the size and raised their prices. That's expected these days since everything is getting pricier. Anyways-good mexican food. Love their burritos.
(4)
Judi P.

The food was really good. If you stay in and eat you get free and delicious chips and salsa. The salsa is really good, but I do not think the chips are homemade. I got a burrito and it came so fast and was so good. Everything seemed fresh and authentic and I was pleased. The only complaint that I have is that we were the only ones in the restaurant and our chips never got refilled and it took them a while to refill our waters. I would go back if I was in the area, but I am also going to try other Mexican restaurants closer to me that might be better.
(4)
David H.

I just wanted a little something to eat after a Cubs game so I stopped in here. They have some of the best salsa guacamole I've had in a long time. One weird thing is that it's BYOB, they don't serve alcohol here, which threw me off as it's the first time I've been to a Mexican restaurant that doesn't serve alcohol. Also, the staff there is very friendly.
(4)
Andrew F.

Top notch. Wow. Found this place based on the reviews on yelp and decided to go. It's a little off putting from the outside looking more like a late night Wrigleyville taco joint but quickly changes once you walk in. We ordered the guac, fish tacos, and chicken fajitas. All of the food was amazing - especially the guac. There is also an assortment of salsas which is always fun. Also BYOB! It doesn't get much better than that. The nice lady that was working that night also made us feel very welcome and was quite cheery. I think she is the key to making the service successful as the people behind the counter seemed a little unfriendly.

The food here is so freaking delicious! I order delivery from here more than any other place in Chicago. It never disappoints. The cochinita pibil dinner is especially amazing. I love the habanero salsa and their guacamole. Delivery is quick, and the presentation is always great too. When I went to the restaurant for the first time, I was expecting a more upscale setting based on the presentation and quality of the food that I had received via delivery, but all that really matters to me is the food. I hope they stay here forever.

I ordered delivery, put down the phone, poured a glass of whine, and before I was halfway through, the food was here. So nice. More importantly, they had lots of vegetarian options, which were all good! We got both the 4-cheese enchilada and the veggie enchilada. Both were artfully done - one even had a mole sauce. The vegetables were fresh and the beans on the side were vegetarian too. If you want to add some serious zing, ask for a side of their hottest sauce, the habanero.
(5)
Kylie M.

Two words. Fish Tacos. You have to get the fish tacos. They are beyond incredible. This was our first trip to this restaurant, but I have no doubt we'll be back. We also tried the chicken enchiladas which were great, full of flavor and not greasy. The restaurant is very clean, the service was efficient, the food is made from quality ingredients, it's BYOB. What more could you ask for? But seriously, get the fish tacos.
(5)
Vanessa U.

The only reason, really, that I frequented this restaurant so often this summer was because it was next door to my office, and sometimes I needed a break from Wrigleyville Dogs. The food isn't AWFUL, but it isn't very exciting, either. Its bland, lacks any creativity or interesting flavor combinations, and its most definitely overpriced. Damn my laziness, for making me suffer through so many $10 lunches that tasted like roller-rink socks.

Only had it delivery...but...one of my favorite mexican places to order in from. Fish tacos are amazing!

David G.

I like to gauge Mexican delivery on whether or not it's going to make me want to take off of work the next day due to medical reasons. Azteca de Oro rates pretty well, meaning the food is good and I'm not running for the border hours later. Azteca de Oro isn't your typical hole in the wall Mexican joint. If that's what you prefer, then I suggest going somewhere else. The quality of the food here is pretty good, not just thrown together from yesterday's garbage like a lot of places I've ordered from and probably won't again. I've ordered a few things here. The Baja fish tacos are all they're hyped up to be... crispy, beer battered. They're not exactly the healthiest, but at least it won't send you to the hospital. If you want to go healthy, I would recommend the tilapia bowl, grilled fish on rice and steamed vegetables. And the nachos. They put black beans on them, not refried beans. Aren't we all kind of sick of refried beans on soggy nachos? Pretty satisfied with everything I've ordered from Azteca de Oro. And despite the name, Montezuma will not have his revenge. Not tonight.

Sophia L.

I'd like to start by saying that I am spoiled when it comes to Mexican food, seeing as I have spent many summers eating REAL Mexican food in Mexico. And to be fair... Mexican food is probably the worst food keep fresh when delivered...... On that note, one snowy cold night I decided to order delivery Mexican food, and this place seemed to have the best reviews. We had shredded beef, shrimp and carnitas tacos. These were basically uneatable. The meat had no flavor, the corn tortillas had transformed into some rubbery mushy mess. In short, my dog had a fabulous dinner that night. Luckily we also ordered nachos and these were GOOD. Im sure when they are served hot and fresh in the restaurant they are fantastic!! The next morning we both barely made it out of bed due to mysterious stomach pain... Don't think I will be ordering tacos from here again, but I will definitely stop in for the nachos.

Arpana U.

I was excited about this place seeing the high star ranking and it is so close to me. I was a little disappointed, but maybe I was just expecting too much. I do agree with reviewers that the ingredients here are very fresh - peppers, onions, etc. What we had: queso fondido, guacamole, veggie enchiladas, and veggie burrito. Fondido - good, heavy seeing it's just all cheese. Guacamole - unfortunately I can not give it as high of review as others, far from best in the city. Actually I thought it was onions and tomatoes with just a little avocado thrown in; very underwhelming. Dinners: one thing lacking all around: sauce. The enchiladas just didn't have enough, it was apparent as soon as they put the plates down. Sauce did not cover the corn tortillas. And the burrito had none, inside or out. Again, fresh vegetables, but the taste and the sauce was heavily lacking. This place is half step above a hole-in-the-wall (it's actually very clean and nice) but it is the grill in the main area with 4-6 tables scattered around. One "waitress" who was just running back and forth. It's just fine - but don't be expecting a real sit-down dinner. Overall, just lacking a bit. Nothing bad, but I don't foresee the craving to return. Just barely made 3 stars.

Get takeout tacos, all steak, pastor, and chicken. I think the guacamole is a little weak and not chunky enough for me, but highly recommend the pastor tacos. Overall pretty good, not amazing though.

BYOB - No corking fee. Honestly the BEST service I have received in Chicago! Our waitress was super attentive and always there when we needed her. The food was great! I strongly recommend this place to everyone. Also - open until 5am on Fridays and Saturdays I believe. Yummmm!

Excellent quality for price and delivery speed. Speedy and food always on point. My go to for mexican delivery. Nachos and tacos of any variety are delicious.

Delicious. Simply Delicious. Need I say more? To back up the high expectations that I have set, Azteca de Oro has never disappointed. It's been my boyfriend and I's standby for over a year now--and we used to frequent it on a weekly basis. The staff recognizes us when we go in, and they are very friendly and attentive. Breaking it down to the food, the guacamole is a must-have. It's amazing and fresh, and served up with warm tortilla chips. As for the food, my favorite menu item is the tres-peppers fajita burrito with chicken. It's a melody of freshly sauteed peppers, onions, with black beans, guacamole, and grilled chicken, topped with cheese. Topping this with both the red and green sauces that they provide is phenomenal. My boyfriend's go to menu item is the shrimp tacos--tipped off by a previous yelper, that was the first thing he tried, and he fell in love. We stray from these items from time to time, and the only disappointing item was when I ordered 2 chicken tacos ala-carte. I was unimpressed and they were bland. Overall, this is a definite go to in Wrigleyville--it's never very packed, quick service, and quick delivery.

BEST FISH TACOS IN THE CITY!!!!! Enough said. Everytime I go here it gets fancier and fancier too. Salsa and chips are still awesome and the hot sauces are excellent. Sittl BYOB, so a great spot to 'tailgate' before a Cubs game unless you are into the gross food a Murphy's.

Larisa O.

We liked this place. A lot. I wouldn't have imagined a great *real* Mexican place in Wrigleyville but this food is legit. They have cochinita pibil tacos with pickled onion, which is fairly uncommon in your average joint. This place has the affordable prices of a dive, but it's clean and cheerful. Service was excellent. Careful with the hot sauce, you will cry.

Love this place! I come here once a week just about. Great drunk food and even really good when sober. Great prices, BYOB, nice staff, great meat. This place won't disappoint. The enchilada suizo is the best thing ever!

I've never had anything bad here. The service is good and if you choose delivery, they are always fast and the food is always fresh. I would not go to any other Mexican restaurant. It's the best!

Best delivery find in a long time! We were looking to mix-up our routine and order something other than Thai or Chinese. Thanks to my friends at Yelp, we landed on Azteca de Oro. Wow. One of the best delivery experiences ever, and I'm not exaggerating! Case in point - we ordered online (gotta love online ordering systems) around 6:45 p.m. At 6:57 p.m. I got an "order out for delivery" email. I thought there was no way... until about two seconds later when I heard our doorbell. Yes, our food literally arrived in about 15 minutes. So A+ for that. The food itself was very very good. We started with the guac which was excellent. It's chunky with tomatoes which is just how I like it. Great flavor. The chips were meh--not enough salt for my liking and borderline stale, but they did the job. Since everyone raved about the fish tacos, I opted for that for my main course. And everyone's right--they're outstanding. And for delivery, too. I was a little concerned they might be mushy but no--the breading was still crispy on the outside and the pickled onions are a nice touch. I really didn't need the beans or rice on the side (appreciate that they come with black beans instead of refried) as the tacos alone were more than filling. My waistline isn't thanking me, but this one will definitely move into our regular delivery rotation, and we will for sure be going to the restaurant to check it out in-person. Who doesn't love BYOB?

This is the spot for gourmet mexican food at regular price! I eat there at regular restaurant hours, but this awesome spot is open late too. Located right across from Smartbar/Metro it is the go to spot for after shows. Pretty much everything is of high quality, some favorites are veggie enchiladas, burritos suizo, carne asada, horchata, and save room for churros! Plus the salsa is awesome too, if you like it hot, try the habanero sauce...if you can handle the scofield units!
(4)
Wendi M.

Wonderful shrimp tacos. I'm going to just keep saying shrimp tacos. Shrimp tacos. Ok, I'm done. The only problem I have with this place is I never get the same order twice. My order is really easy, shrimp tacos with lettuce, cheese, sour cream and that tomato/corn spicy yummy stuff they put on everything. But every time I order, it's a gamble as to what is going to be on my food. Bring some consistency to the prep process and this would be my favorite Mexican place in the city. Shrimp tacos!!

I haven't written a review in forever it seems. I've been busy being unemployed, masturbating 9 times a day and eating lots of canned corn. I figured I'd start out slow and work my way back into a groove. So let's start with something simple shall we? :P Another good Mexican delivery place?!? You have got to be kidding me. Have I been a good boy this year Santa? This place is pretty cheap and quick to top it all off! The grilled chicken and steak tacos are tasty and even come with their own little lime slice which is a nice little touch. The guacamole is fabulous, with big chunky pieces of tomatoes, avocado, and onion. I like both the green and red salsa they send with every order and you can't beat still hot tortilla chips. I also tried a bite of their shrimp burrito and I think I know what I'm ordering next time. Give this place a chance if you want some quick, hot, savory, tasty and good Mexican delivery! What do I know though I'm an unemployed frequent masturbater. Aren't you all glad I'm back writing reviews?

Mike P.

Happy to report that the dine-in experience was as good as the take-out experience. When my wife asked what I wanted for my birthday dinner, being a simple creature, I asked to go to Azteca de Oro. Our waitress was extremely sweet and attentive, even asking about our son. The food again hit the spot. We both agreed this will be our go-to spot for Mexican food, going forward.

Jen L.

This place was great! We went in the afternoon and it was pretty quiet. The services was fast. The best part was the food. Their fish tacos were amazing. Although the fish is deep fried the slaw and veggie toppings make it a great balance of tasty and fresh. My boyfriend got the carne asada (which he gets everywhere in Chicago) and the taste and marinate was probably the best I've tasted. A portion was a little underdone for his liking and the cook brought out another piece of meat cooked the way he liked! Very accommodating and delicious. I have been craving those fish taco's ever since!

Alex M.

I love this place. It is my go-to restaurant when I want something delivered quick. It usually gets to my place in about 15min! They make everything fresh. The chips, salsa, guac, EVERYTHING. And you can definitely tell. The food is amazing. I love the vegetarian enchiladas and their Horchata. It is nice inside too if you are looking for a cozy place to eat.

Julie M.

Having moved here from California, my standards for good Mexican food are pretty high. With that being said, Azteca De Oro is my new go to spot. I've only eaten there twice but the food quality is much better than any other local Mexican to-go spot.
(4)
Christa R.

We get delivery from here all of the time. They arrive very quickly and it's some of the most authentic Mexican food that I've had in the city. Their guac, quesadilla, tacos and burrito bowls are all really tasty and the portions are relatively big. Their chips are on the thicker side, but I'll deal. They always give plently of extra sauce on the side. Give it a try!

johnny b.

Fish tacos are ok. Mercadito much better and I think about the same price. Good delivery mexican spot but thats about it. I'd never go there to eat.

Kim A.

I'm going to be perfectly honest. The only time I've ever eaten here was after the Cubs game yesterday... a bachlorette party Cubs game. Needless to say, we were a bit drunk and craving tacos. This was the first place we saw, and were NOT disappointed. We were given guac on the house, which was chunky and flavorful. I ordered the Baja Fish Burrito bowl. Excellent! The tilapia was battered and cooked crispy. The cole slaw was light and fresh, and had great flavors. I definitely would come back here... sober...
(3)
Beavis M.

I got to set the record straight. This place has come a LONG way since they first opened and have really perfected their menu. They have added some great sandwiches (their Cubano is INSANE) and their burritos and nachos are good too. Highly recommended!

Brad K.

Geographic proximity helped in getting me to try this place. I live around the corner in the Wrigley area and to look at it from the street (next door to a head shop) it doesn't exactly impress from afar. But don't let the cover judge this book. Traditional nature and styling of Mexican with the usual gringo favorites on the menu. I order it for delivery all the time and it never disappoints. Everything is fresh and tastes great. The tacos are always a big hit in our house. I prefer the traditional soft corn tortillas, but you can get them any style, with whatever kind of protein and garnish you prefer. I personally think the skirt steak fajitas are the best thing on the menu. They have about 6-8 tables inside to dine-in. Very clean and it's BYOB. Given the parking lot hawks at the Taco Bell down the street by Wrigley and the fact that it's a TACO BELL...it's easy to want to avoid the mass market offerings in the area. So take a few minutes to walk North on Clark to Azteca and indulge in the real deal.

Maria W.

I was totally shocked to see so many 3 star reviews. After having Azteca's shrimp tacos and chips and salsa, I swore I'd never go anywhere else for a taco fix. And I haven't. I swear they have the freshest tasting and best spiced food. I'm getting hungry for it right now.

Best Mexican delivery I have found! Their burritos are amazing! And when we asked for a lot of substitutions on one burrito, they were very nice and accommodating. Good food, polite service, and free chips with every order.

This was a great neighborhood find! I thought the food was fresh, healthy and cooked to order! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was super clean. I'll come back often. Lots of great vegetarian options, too.

Pretty good tacos. Chorizo- tasty, slightly cinnamon flavor. The special carnitas braised in something that come in a 3 pack- outstanding. There were two other types of carnitas and I can't remember which was absolutely bland and which was my absolute favorite. I think it's the al pastor that was bland and the regular carnitas that was amazing. Only real complaint is that their taco corn tortillas are subpar in flavor/quality/texture.
(3)
Kate S.

I have only ordered from here, never been to the restaurant, but the delivery is fantastic. I have to say that the fish tacos are incredible. The fish is fried, but it's topped with pickled red onions, which make the tacos really crisp and refreshing. Mmm. I just love them. The tres leches cake is really good too. And unlike some Mexican places, there are a lot of good vegetarian options. My husband, however, is not a fan of the beef there. Too chewy, and a bit too much gristle.

The Baha burrito is AMAZING!!!! The service was GREAT!! The interior looks like any other small mexican restaurant but the food was amazing. Me and my bf both agreed that we would come back anytime for the Baha Fish burrito/tacos. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!!!

Elise P.

I ordered from Foodler and picked this place because they offered a 25% coupon. I had a three-pepper burrito with chicken, chips and salsa, and the flan. With the coupon and tip, it came to under $15, and they delivered in less than 45 minutes. The food was awesome--the burrito was perfectly seasoned, the chicken was tender, and the veggies were still slightly crisp. The spinach tortilla was fresh, too. I had guacamole with it, and it was also fresh and tasty. The salsa was heavy on the cilantro and pretty spicy, but still great. Up until this point, I was giving the restaurant a solid four stars. And then I tried the flan. First of all, it's clearly homemade--not some store-bought, still-shaped-like-the-ridged-plastic-container stuff. This is rich, decadent, creamy-but-firm...absolutely fabulous. It came with a little container of strawberry sauce, but don't you dare let that fruity sludge touch the flan! The flan is perfect as is, and catapults the restaurant into 5-star status.
(5)
Jim O.

Azteca de Oro isn't the best Mexican in the city but for what its worth it's a quick cheap place to get a good burrito. Service is friendly and they always make your food to order on the grill. One big positive is that chips and salsa are included in every order (dine in or take out) so that's pretty nice too. Overall a good neighborhood place to grab a bite.

Arlene T.

I have never actually been to this restaurant but we have ordered lunch for the office on several occasions and the food has never disappointed. It is our new "go to" place and they deliver! Love the tortilla soup!

Kristin L.

Wrigleyville's newest Mexican place can definitely satisfy late-night-drunken-mexican-food-cravings, but it's far from the best. The prices are decent, service is relatively quick, and it's a welcome alternative to the hotdogs, burgers, pizza and sports bars that the rest of North Clark has to offer.
(2)
Dan B.

Very solid hole in the wall Mexican spot on Clark St. right around the corner from Wrigley. Their guac was delicious and the skirt steak fajitas were near perfection. I had a couple bites of the quesadilla which was also very good. Very reasonable prices and byob to boot.

so ive been avoiding eating food from the ballpark and mcdonalds, so i went for a walk during the cubs game and got the blt for azteca. there isnt a better place in the city for grilled chcicken blt.....no place! yes the fries suck, but their BLT is amazing.

Paul D.

I give stars for value delivered. Value, meaning, for the money spent, the relative worth of what I bought. By that metric, I'd say, Azteca de Oro hit a home run with us. Wonderfully fresh, flavorful food, ordering was a breeze online, delivered really fast, and when we did call with a question (first time customers), the gent that answered the phone was exceedingly amiable, did a great job on answering our couple of questions. Not much more to say, for us - our new find for when we've got the joneses to obliterate the pang.

I just threw away the remains from what I was able to digest and I can swear to you that I'll never order from Azteca de Oro again! I have ordered from them before and always the same thing (chili rellenos) and never had this experience before. But this experience was so terrible. I ordered extra avocado (paid extra for) and didn't get any at all (they have forgotten to place this in my order before). So I was bummed but was still looking forward to my food. First of all, it was all luke warm. The sauce on the Chili Relleno was bitter and unrecognizable. The cheese tasted a little sour and was not even melted (perhaps because the whole dish was not even that warm). I took a bite and was not able to continue. I thought I can even eat around the cheese and just focus on the pepper but that disgusting sauce wouldn't allow me. So I had their sides, beans and some rice, which Taco Bell could have made better. NEVER will I order from these people again!!!

Meade M.

Let me start out by saying I moved to Chicago 3 days ago, so I don't know yet how this restaurant rates compared to others in the area. I got delivery from Azteca after a number of hours of cleaning and unpacking, all I really wanted was a good bowl of spicy soup so went on yelp to find what I could in my area which delivered late. I am a Tortilla soup lover so I was happy to find a mexican place that was open, delivered, and had Tortilla soup. Deliver was very quick, and the food was fantastic. It was some of the best tortilla soup I've ever had. That said, the temperature of the food when it arrived was not as good, the soup was lukewarm at best, I ended up heating it up on the stove as I hate cold soup. And if I had a microwave I would have heated the rice and beans up too. All said and done I will give this place another try to see if they consistently deliver cold food or if it was a fluke. As the soup was soo good I'm really hoping for the fluke.

Kristi B.

I ordered fajitas for delivery and the food was *incredible* - spicy, delicious, fresh. They got it right (I asked for no beans, no guac, etc. in the notes). Ordered and paid online. Delivery was SO QUICK! You won't be sorry (says a Texan who tends to be pretty picky about my mexican food).
(4)
Arleen P.

Love love love this place. I haven't been able to dine in but I order from work for lunch and the delivery is always fast and the food is always fresh and so delicious. Green Chicken Enchiladas or the Crispy Chicken Tacos are my absolute favorite at a price you can't beat!
(5)
Lydia C.

Big fan. Huge fan. So many things about this place I love, the food being of course the number one reason, others being that the price is pretty good, you can order online from their website and from delivery.com , and when you stop in to eat in the help is great! (Although the music they play during the day sometimes is not so great.) Food quality is awesome, I'm a huge fan of the tacos with shredded chicken, and the boyfriend always gets the fiesta bowl. The portions aren't huge but are perfect size and we're both always satisfied without overeating. Every delivery order has been spot on, no mistakes.
(5)
Justin M.

The steak & shrimp fajitas were outstanding! Delivery was fast! I can't wait to try more of their entrees! One dissapointment was the lime shrimp. It was breaded and fried and I thought it was going to be fresh. None the less it was pretty damn good!
(5)
Maria A.

If I had known what I was in for, I would have kissed that delivery guy. I ordered the Taco Lunch (shredded chicken and pastor), horchata and tortilla soup. Yes, that is a lot of food for a little gal like me, but it's hard to meet that $10 minimum! The taco lunch came in a great segmented container, which meant it wasn't a rice/beans/taco orgy when I opened it up. Everything in their proper place, and the tacos looked perfect. Not even a bit soggy. Both were scrumptious (and thank you for serving the pastor tacos with just onions, cilantro and lime as they should be!). The rice and beans also good. Good chunks of carrot, green beans, peas and corn in the rice. The horchata was also tasty. I am a sucker for good horchata and this did not let me down. Since I am now stuffed, I can't seem to eat the tortilla soup, but I did taste it and it was really good. It came with a small container filled with tortilla strips, avocado, sour cream, cilantro and lime. I will certainly be devouring that in a few hours. Delivery was very prompt - less than 30 minutes. Love it!

Nicole C.

We got delivery from this place a couple of days ago, and it was fantastic! I got a couple of tacos, and they weren't the least bit greasy. The food tasted clean and fresh, and its possible that I will only order from here from now on. I'm used to ordering tacos, or burritos and having them arrive soggy, and impossible to eat like one should eat a burrito.

Ellie L.

Stopped in here before a show at the Metro with our own beer and was immediately served spicy salsa and chips. The 3 taco plate included my favorites: carnitas and shrimp, and one more I can't recall but wolfed down in seconds for sure. The shrimp tacos are really good. The burritos are fresh. They are not gigantic, but definitely enough. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a deal and tasty Mexican fare---will be back. BYOB. Delivery.

Ryan S.

This is my favorite Tex-Mex oriented establishment in the Wrigleyville area. Everything I've had here has been made with extremely fresh ingredients. I've had a couple of their salads, some of their sandwiches, some of their burritos and some of their tacos. All have been great. I actually really like their steak sandwich, although not in the tex-mex category, it is especially tasty and always a great bet. The folks there are nice and after noticing that I've been coming back again and again, they let me try out some food they were planning on putting on the menu. In other words they have been very kind and personable. Basically, it's been all positive so far.
(5)
Jason W.

Food tasted OK, but everything was cold when served. We never got a check in to ask if the food could be warmed up either. Also, the speaker was blown with music turned up all the way. After 30 minutes it got pretty annoying. Worth another try, but wasn't entirely satisfied with the meal.

Erin V.

I typically find myself here between the hours of 2 and 4 am, but regardless, this place is delicious. I used to religiously order their nachos which is the reason I fell madly in love with this place. Somehow they are still amazing the next morning. As of late, I go with the burritos which are superb as well. And their guacamole - oh, so good. I'd give this place 5 stars, but I feel like until my assessment is more sober, that could be misleading.

Quality Mexican food. Shredded chicken tacos, chicken flautas, and guac are delicious.

Mallory G.

I have to update my review for Azteca - though they are always speedy with delivery, my fish tacos were not good the last time. Overbattered, underdone and I ended up tossing them. Oh, and don't bother with the flan. It was curdled (i.e. sweet scrambled eggs) and the masking tape on the bottom indicated it had been made 6 days prior.
(2)
Danielle A.

I love Azteca de oro. Usually mexican food can feel a bit greasy and unhealthy but their food is fresh and delicious! I order here for lunch at least once every 2 weeks and really enjoy it every time. I get avocados on my tacos and they are always ripe and fresh never brown (that's a big plus for me!) Azteca de Oro is 5 star material in my book! YUM! ps I am eating it right now!
(5)
Dave P.

OK, I will be brief. Go there, go there now, go there as fast as you can run! Drive there if you live in the burbs or hop the train. But no matter how you do it, go there. I am not a five star guy, so when I say it's a five it's a five. You won't be disappointed in the food or the price. Have fun, go Azteca!!

This is the best Mexican food I have had in YEARS! The Conchita pible is so amazing! Slow roasted pork with black beans cooked in a banana leaf with fried plantains guacamole. I need not say more! Love love love this place!
(5)
Delray G.

This is the best high quality mexican restaurant around. Their nachos use shredded cheese instead of that liquid stuff, which is delicious. Their enchiladas and burritos are amazing as well, though they are pretty expensive for mexican food. $17 for nachos and enchiladas, which is double most other places.
(4)
Billy C.

Good food! The guacamole was awesome. It might be the second best guacamole I've ever eaten (the first was homemade... I still want that recipe!). I got a pastor burrito en suizo (sp?). The pastor was good. It had a good rich flavor and the sauce that covered the burrito was just the right amount of spice to give some nice flavor without over powering the contents of the burrito. I also tried the chicken sopes which were well done. One thing you must get here is the Horchata (the waiter, seeing that I was a gringo, called it "rice water;" but I know from my days in divey Mexican places that it is Horchata!) The Horchata is excellent, especially if you have a dish that might be a little on the spicy side. The drink instantly cools down your palette. I love that hint of cinnamon mixed with the flavorful water! I would absolutely go back if I were in the area!
(4)
Jessica S.

My first visit: very delicious food, more than enough for one person comes with the burrito dinners, and the big pieces of sirloin in my burrito were juicy and tender. The horchata was excellent, so were the churros. The prices are very reasonable, and we had an extremely patient waitress. Hope I get to visit again.

BYOB and awesome food--I had a burrito del pescado, and I ate the whole thing. This place is completely affordable with a great selection. It's quite small, so you might end up waiting for a table, but definitely worth the wait.

Jon B.

Went there tonight for the first time. Used a restaurant.com deal with a few friends. I got the pork enchiladas with mole as a topping (you choose mole or a salsa to put on top). I have no idea why I chose mole but I probably shouldn't have, it was okay, I just don't think mole is my thing. Otherwise the pork was good and shredded. Came with some tasty refried beans and rice. One of my friends got the baja fish tacos and enjoyed them but said they were not very filling. The other peeps got fajitas and these were quite amazing. I will definitely get these next time I go. Everything was nicely sauteed and seasoned, came with a nice plate of toppings and fresh warm tortillas. It's byob, so that's a bonus. Chiros are a tasty dessert. Warm and crunchy and chewy and sweet and sugary. Comes with some sort of jam puree thing. Love me some good mexican food. Adios! Oh, nice staff as well, although it took a little too long to get some waters and menus.

Reva M.

This is the best kept secret in Wrigleyville if not Chicago. You will never wait for a table, the service is fine, and above all, I have cravings for their chicken avocado sandwich on a weekly basis. Cheap, perfect... I love this place!

Jim M.

Updated with information below! I'm not sure whether to give them a pass on this or not. We did make an order for Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo, so maybe that was our mistake. We ordered 2 taco dinners and a side of guac and chips around 8:15pm, today, May 5th. It's not 9:45, an hour an a half later, and I think we've gone past the hunger stage and into the tired stage. I'm concerned about the shape the food will be in when it eventually (I hope) shows up. I won't let this affect my evaluation of their food, but their delivery service leaves a lot to be desired. If the food shows up and it's good, I'll change the rating, but until then... ...They showed up! Around 10ish, she was very nice and apologetic. I tried to stand tough at first by asking what happened sternly. She explained, I felt bad, we ate. And were offered 50% off our next order. I suppose that'll teach us to order Mexican on Cinco de Mayo again. As for the food, it was average. Not bad. Not good. It filled us. The chicken taco was bland and the steak taco lacked flavor. Chips and guacamole were good. Chunky guac is always welcome. Maybe the delivery time played into the taste, maybe not. We do have 50% off the next order, so we'll try again in a few weeks. Cheers.

I love this place so much that this week alone I've ordered delivery from here five, thats right FIVE days in a row. As a vegan from Cali where there are a zillion vegan options, its been tough to adjust to the meat and potatoes of Chicago. So...when I found this jem, I was ecstatic! This may be the only mexican place in the world that offers tofu as a burrito ingredient. I always get the grilled veggie burrito with tofu and jalapenos...AMAZING. Well cooked rice, non mushy black beans (thank god not refried) crisp well cooked bell peppers and onions with just the right amount of spice, a generous portion of fresh guacamole, and the tofu and jalapenos addition make a perfect burrito for vegans and non-vegans alike! I would recommend asking for extrA RED hot sauce rather then the green they bring along for those who love spicy! Also a nice touch is that they give you free chips with your order, unlike so many other places that charge for them. Also, salsa and guacamole are wonderful side orders.

I've never actually been to the restaurant, but I've ordered delivery a half dozen times now and wow. I'm addicted. Their Tacos Alambre are unbelievable. Tacos with bacon and a good portion of ribeye and poblano strips with a spicy guajillo sauce.. oh boy. I only wish they offered this in a burrito. Another favorite is the Ultimate Azteca Combo, which is perfectly cooked skirt steak, smothered with cheese and seasoned garlic-butter shrimp in a guajillo sauce. Fantastic! I've also had a variety of their regular tacos, all of which were exceptionally fresh and tasty. Portion sizes are perfect for the price. Delivery is FAST. I live in Northcenter and they regularly deliver within 20-30 minutes. Their sides are good too, the rice is tasty and the refried beans are freaking great (I'm not usually a big fan of beans, either). I highly recommend this place. They rock, the food is awesome and they're open late (till 5am on weekends!)

NACHOS= AMAZING! So delicious. Chicken nachos, carne asada nachos, chorizo nachos... all so tasty. I have made many friends try these, and they all love them. If I could eat nachos every day, I would definitely choose these nachos. Everything is made fresh upon ordering, so you sometimes have to wait a little bit. The tacos are very good, too. And, when you dine in, they bring chips and salsa to start, and then three other types of salsa with your meal. FRIED ICE CREAM! Huge portion. Four of us were full after lunch so we only ordered on to try it. So Good. They have changed the menu a couple times since last summer, and I just found out they are adding more to the menu. A couple new sandwiches and some other variations of enchiladas. AND they deliver! By the way, I mostly eat lunch or dinner here (so it is NOT a place that is only good at 2 am). Â¡Que Delicioso!

Did one of the best things I've ever eaten just arrive at my door in a greasy bag amidst a wintry mix? Why yes, yes it did. After eating a shrimp flavored burrito (yep, you read that right) elsewhere a few weeks earlier left my craving for the real thing unsatisfied, I tried again with Azteca de Oro. Since not checking Yelp before ordering a shrimp burrito had burned me before, I was not about to make the same mistake. After the reviews checked out, I noticed a little blurb at the top of the page offering free guacamole to those mentioning Yelp. I'm not a huge guacamole fan (it's got to have a lot of lime, salt, and be cut 50/50 with pico for me) but who doesn't love free? The order and delivery was pretty seamless and inexpensive even by cheap Mexican standards. It also came with a decent portion of chips and salsa. With two freebies, I would have expected 1 bag of chips, but they hooked it up and packed two. They were on my good side from the start, but would they pass the shrimp burrito test? Yes! Not only was the shrimp fresh and plump, the other ingredients (lettuce, pico, grilled peppers, grilled onions, jack cheese, cilantro) were amazingly flavorful. I'm not sure I've ever had a better burrito. Satisfied that Azteca de Oro, was legit, I decided to dip a chip in the guacamole. See, I know it sounded like I was talking about the burrito in that first paragraph, but allow me to get my M. Night Shyamalan on here. The guacamole (a dish I don't even really like) was so good that I inadvertently picked up the cup and glared at it in confusion. My mind raced to come to a conclusion as to why it was so good. It was chunky, but had no where near the amount of crap I normally require. Still, it was bursting with fresh citrus flavor, and seasoned to absolute perfection. I was sad that the free portion was only 3 oz, but thankful knowing that a full portion would have resulted in a much regretted gorge. Stage 1 of the addiction cycle has officially begun. Much like a crackhead, I would probably sell a lamp if it were the only way to get my hands on more guacamole. Thankfully, the 3oz portion is free, and the full size is a mere $6. Giving away their guacamole will make this place money hand over fist. Go get some before this place becomes too cool for school, and has a line at 4pm Tuesday afternoons.

El Bueno: The grilled veggie burrito I ordered was delicious (a little messy, but whatever, I'm a little messy). Delivery was free and there was no additional charge! Once more: Delivery was FREE and there No Additional Charge!!!!!! El Malo: My girlfriend's taco shell salad was lacking in the taco shell department. In other words, there was no taco shell. The chips that came with my burrito were not great. El Feo: Worst salsa ever.

Very good. It is difficult to stand out in when it comes to small, inexpensive Mexican restaurants. There is a limited # of ingredients that are typically utilized and ALL seems pretty delicious (cover any food in melted cheese, sour cream and guac and it's a 'go' for me), but this place has an edge. They seem to have a different recipe than the rest. They mix it up a bit and the flavors are tweaked so it is actually memorable. For instance, there was fresh cilantro on the nachos....not just mixed in with the pico de gallo so you could really taste it. Suh Guhd.

A sign reads in the front door "Homemade Horchata" already that was a PIUS. Since most the horchata I've had in the city taste like the powdered crap. But what really won me over was reading the menu and seeing under desserts "Aztec fried ice cream". Could this be true? I finally found a mexican spot, who serves deep fried ice cream???? I was in denial for the moment until I made my friend ask, if they really had some and she said YES! So of course that is what I ordered. Im going to go on a rant about this because I've been on a search for deep fried ice cream for the past 10 years. Acapulco serves it but thats a chain and it is whatever. Mind you I am able to get fried tempura ice cream at Japanese and Thai restaurants, but it is not the same as the mexican kind. You know the ball of ice cream covered with corn flakes or graham crackers with a hint of coconut deep fried and served with cinnamon sugar goodness. I was watching the guy prepare it and was like wow this is the real deal. The waitress brought it over and it looked pretty. The fried ball of ice cream was in a cinnamon/sugar fried tostada bowl covered in whip cream, strawberry and chocolate syrup and a cherry on top. To my surprise when I took a bite, it was not vanilla ice cream, it was STRAWBERRY??? Different, but It was good. So I sat there and enjoyed my $4.95 dessert while everyone else was eating tacos. It wasn't the best fried ice cream, but it was satisfying. My two friends who I went with ordered tacos. Shrimp, steak and pastor. they said the shrimp was descent, pastor was good, steak was no bueno. NO FLAVOR. So don't get the steak, I've heard it more than once. Anyways I noticed this is the spot all the drunk people come to after hitting up the bars on that street, so I felt a little out of place considering I was not drunk. At the same time it's more entertaining that way. I'd only come back here if i was in the area and craving some fried ice cream. Actually I think I'm going to make it tradition every time I'm at the Metro to stop by in there.

People weren't lying about the fish tacos. They were delicious! I have to say, much of my rating has to do with the delivery. First of all, it was very fast. But more importantly, the quality of the food was great. I'll be honest - my expectations were pretty low, but it was as if I was eating at the restaurant (although I've never been). I will definitely order from here again. And don't forget to tell them you saw them on Yelp when you order. You'll get a small thing of chips and guac for free!

We recently stumbled upon this place getting delivery one night....and let me tell you! THANK GOODNESS WE DID!!!! As most of you are probably aware, there is NO shortage of Mexican places to order from. However, there is a SERIOUS shortage of actually GOOD Mexican places to order from. So we were very happily surprised when we took a chance and got food one evening. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty and the delivery was quick and the driver friendly. We ordered a second time just a couple of days later....and had the same experience! Bravo! We will be ordering more great stuff from here SOOOON!!!!! :)

Dined there for the second time in two weeks with my husband last night because we couldn't stay away. This place is GREAT! I'm so glad I discovered it through Yelp. The food is really fresh and the ingredients are high quality. It's nice to find a Mexican place where you don't have to be halfway questioning the ingredients. The food at Azteca is always flavorful, fresh and good quality. They do a bustling takeout and delivery business--the guys in the kitchen are always busy! They also have 5-7 tables for dine-in but it's pretty casual--no tablecloths or anything, although you can BYOB. We have had the fire-grilled quesadilla, the fish tacos, the cochinita pibil, the tacos alambre (with ribeye, bacon, poblano pepper and melted cheese), and the loaded burrito. All have been great! My favorites might be the fire-grilled quesadilla (huge! enough for an entree for 1 person if you wish), the fish tacos, the burrito and the alambre tacos, in that order. Be aware that their food definitely has spice and kick, so if you really want things mild, you should ask for that. The funny thing is, we had dinner at Rick Bayless' Topolobampo earlier this week, and I think we both commented that we got more enjoyment out of our casual meal at Azteca than at Topolo. The food was great and it was an excellent value. This will be our go-to quick Mexican place from now on.

I was scouring the web for mexican delivery, specifically nachos, and did the ol' delivery.com and yelp crosscheck and azteca won out. good call michelle m! the nachos were yum yum yummmmy! friend got the grilled chicken burrito in whole wheat which was also quite tasty. yet different than expected....some cilantro and "health" taste in there. but definitely BETTER than chipotle. the horchata was also mmmmmm good. and came in a ginormous plastic coke cup (think fast food super size) which was a bonus because i'm somehow* out of cups. and we appreciated the bonus little bag o chips and salsa sides. free delivery, super nice driver, took around an hour or so. worth the funds. *they may or may not have broken/been thrown away because i couldn't be bothered to wash them

Food is just fine, passable Mexican grub. But the last 2 times I got food to-go they got my order wrong or forgot items altogether. I'd let this go if they had been busy at the time but I was the only person in there. Get it together, guys.

Thanks Yelp for helping find a 5-star Mexican restaurant while visiting Wrigley Field. Nothing spectacular, but well worth the two-block walk and $20 bill. The salsa is some of the finest I've encountered and the guacamole is well worth checking out. A little disappointed in the chips, but hey, who's perfect these days? The limited seating tells you this place is more of a take-out establishment, but the food is well worth checking out.

CJ P.

Excellent service and wonderful food! What more can I say? We had taco salad, baha fish tacos, and a baha fish burrito, along with a side of guac and chips. All were excellent and the guacamole was a very generous portion size. The server made us feel very appreciated. Will be back when we are in the area.

Brianna M.

awesome mexican food. got delivery: fast and still hot. conchinita pibil was absolutely amazing! loved the plantains and guac, not to mention the pickled onions. the fajitas were decent, but probably better sticking to the tacos. looking forward to trying the tostadas, which i always love! probably some of the best mexican delivery i've had here ;)

Walked into this little place and liked the calm decor and welcomed by the waitress. She is awesome and sweet, totally attentive. Great service! I can imagine this place getting packed for they are open on Fridays and Saturdays until 5am! That's good for all the late night foodies. On a Sunday night, it's a chill night. Not many people walking in. Btw it's byob here too. My fiancÃ© had the Baja shrimp tacos. She said they were yummy in her tummy with the Chipotle sauce. I had the tacos alambre. I've never had bacon in my tacos and oh boy, does it make a difference! We shared guac and chips. The guac and salsa Verde made both of our tacos taste even better. The owner even came to our table to greet us. He's a charismatic fellow, always talking to all the guests coming and going. We will definitely come back to try other things on the menu!

Right down the street from Wrigley and open til 5am on weekends for post-bar munchies! The prices are spot on and the portions are perfect - not too big, not too small. Small place, so it could be packed, but worth the wait and good service. Reallllly good Mexican food!

After reading all the great Yelp reviews, finally tried Azteca de Oro. It's kind of off the main drag from Wrigleyville and easy to get to. We tried the chips and guac and split a suiza steak and pastor Azteca de Oro burrito. The food was super flavorful and pretty fresh ingredients. A note for spice lovers: the suiza sauce had a good kick and they have pretty spicy salsas. They also give chips and salsa to every table, and the horchata was pretty good as well. Our chips and guac, burrito, and horchata came to $14, not bad. Also, the guy at the counter was really accommodating and gave us good recommendations. They seemed to be swamped with delivery orders as well. All in all, tasty affordable Mexican food in Wrigleyville, I'll be back!

Once again yelp reviews did not fail me. We found this little place in our neighborhood and decided to try it out. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Small dining area but not crowded. Amazing food and you get more than you can eat for sure. I had nachos and quesadillas. Great locations, I just have no complaints at all.

Pretty good food. One of the nicer looking Mexican restaurants I have seen. I wish they had a booth to sit down at while you wait for takeout. Can get kind of awkward when are waiting and other people are sitting down eating. Meat quality is good. I wish they had specials throughout the week. Overall I would recommend

Emily D.

I had heard good things about Azteca de Oro so I made plans with a group of friends to meet there on a Saturday night. I wasn't expecting much more than a cheap Mexican restaurant, but it greatly exceeded my expectations. When we arrived, we were surprised how crowded it was, but the man who greeted us was very accommodating and seated us while we waited for the table next to us to open up as well. We split chips, salsa and guacamole. The guac was delish, not too smooth, not too chunky. It was also a large portion for the price compared to other establishments that charge +$7 for a small cup. All of the salsas were on the spicy side, but good. I had the fish tacos which were really good. It was a huge portion of battered tilapia with pickled red onion and salsa. It also came with a side of rice and beans. The quality and presentation of the food greatly exceeded my expectations. Others at my table had a salad, burritos, enchiladas and a tilapia bowl. Everyone was pleased with their food. The waiter was very accommodating, bringing us glasses for our beverages (it's BYOB, no corkage fee!) and replenishing our chips. The whole time we were there people were coming in getting take out, making me envious I don't live closer. I will definitely go back the next time I want cheap, tasty Mexican food!

Ah, Azteca de Oro. For several years now, you have been my go-to delivery Mexican place (and note that this review is based only on delivery since I haven't actually set foot in the restaurant). The food quality is terrific, and I could probably survive solely on their guacamole if permitted. Well, that and the outstanding tortilla soup. I also highly recommend the baja shrimp tacos, which are wonderful. Basically, yumminess abounds. In addition, I'm always impressed with their speed of delivery--even late night--and consistent friendliness when they come to my door. The only reason they're 4 stars instead of 5 is that they've had a few occasions of leaving an item off of an order. They never fail to swing back by to correct the order, though. If you need quick and tasty Mexican food delivery, there isn't a better place I've found than Azteca de Oro.

Eliz C.

I have a problem with their Azteca de Oro's tortilla soup. The problem is that I love it, in a way that makes my boyfriend and cats jealous. The other problem is that a mere cup of it delivered is so hilariously expensive. Is that enough to keep me from having it delivered to me at work once a week? No. No, it is not. I may not be able to afford a fancy vacation, but god damn it, I will have tortilla soup.

Really wanted to like this place. Good location. Menu looked good.. But our service was horrible. Perhaps our waitress was new?.. We waited over 30 minutes for a salad(!)..only to find she had forgotten to put our order in! I can forgive poor service if the food is good but this was mediocre at best. We even got cookies for dessert- and they were burnt! Oh and we were hoping for margaritas- but they don't serve alcohol. This was just not a pleasant experience.

I'm Mexican.. And I can vouch that, although catered to the local community, this place is authentic--thanks to the paisas working the kitchen. Perfect late night tacos, just make sure to ask for Corn Tortillas and you can't go wrong.

This place has easily won me over as far as my top Mexican spots go. I was a bit skeptical simply because i wouldn't call it fully authentic. However, the flavors are very authentic and they fuse it with some modern and fresh flavors. So far, I have gone there 6 times and all 6 times I left satisfied and surprised. I recommend the Azteca burrito, enchiladas, shrimp tacos, alambre tacos and just about anything else. Tilapia bowl is also very good!! Enjoy everyone

My review is based on delivery, and EVERY aspect was amazing! Food was delivered within 30 mins, my veggie burrito was so flavorful and filling, the horchata was delicious, the chips crunchy and fresh and everything was just all around tastey! My boyfriends steak tacos had bacon on them which he really enjoyed also! Highly recommended!!!!

Kris W.

This place has amazing food, but sadly I will no longer be ordering from them for delivery anymore because I am out of their delivery area. Although I appreciated a phone call after their system let me order from them I was a little taken back when told that I could still have my food delivered if I would pay $6 more. (Considering apparently I am only 1 block south out of the delivery zone I thought that was a little ridiculous) They need to fix their online ordering systems... and also give their customers a little more consideration..I won't ever order online from them because there wasn't any consideration. (Or maybe I'll just manipulate it to work for me) Wait til the delivery guy see's a non-existent tip. So again FOOD = Good, but a little too pricey. Service = Mediocre not all that great to customers when their online ordering system is the problem. They would have gotten 3-4 stars had they not asked me for more $ for delivery charges.

I love you Azteca de Oro. You know how to make a burrito just right. You've eschewed the Chipotle standard and provided Lakeview with something much more authentic, while at the same time keeping it suited to the overwhelmingly white and middle class palate that dominates the eastern North Side. The magic mostly lies in the tortilla, which makes every dish that calls for it. Thanks to Azteca de Oro, I too can know the feeling of having a loving and talented abuela who makes her own tortillas that I would swear my life upon over all other tortillas. The steak helps too, as it is perfectly tender with just the right amount of fat and seasoning along with a killer marinade. There's a huge variety of meats to choose from for your meal, but I love the steak so much that I'm too afraid to ever deviate from it. And they don't even charge extra for it. Yeah, it's just skirt steak, so they really shouldn't, but most Mexican restaurants don't seem to have this figured out. The tortilla chips are good but fairly standard, nothing to write home about. Seems like they come from a bag, which is quite a disappointment considering they could be making them like they do their tortillas. Definitely not worth paying extra for those chips, you already get a small side portion with most meals. The red salsa is pretty spicy, and the flavor kind of reminds me of sriracha. It's certainly a distinguished sauce, unlike their fairly run-of-the-mill green salsa. Though fortunately, it too is far spicier than the typical green paste that most places serve. Then there's the horchata, which tastes fantastic, is offered in very large portions, and usually earns a restaurant 5 stars just for being on the menu. It's fairly heavy on the cinnamon, without too much sugar. Their fridge also contains beloved Mexican grocery store staples like Jarritos and SangrÃa SeÃ±orial. To top it all off, they deliver within several miles for a fairly decent delivery fee ($3.50), and even take online orders. When it comes to Americanized Mexican food, this place is just perfect.

I am glad this place is in the neighborhood. I've gotten take out here twice since I moved around the corner and it was so so the first time, much better the second, pretty sure because I figured out how to order better the second time. I've had nachos both times. Their tortilla chips are good but not great. The toppings are fresh and definitely better than your average neighborhood Mexican joint on the north side. I am a huge fan of their pico and guacamole but they need to be better dispersed throughout the nachos (maybe this is better when you eat in opposed to getting take out?). The key for me was getting a side of sour cream the second time around. I did this because the ingredients are super well dispersed so you end up getting a lot of chips with nothing on them, a side of sour cream is the perfect balance to this! I may ask for salsa next time as well. As for the ambiance it is a little classier than your average spot and much cleaner! The take out service is quick which I also appreciate. All in all Azteca de Oro is good but nothing special.

I loved the Suizo Style grilled veggie burrito so much, that I ordered it on both my visits. Infused with big chunks of grilled bell peppers, onions, and covered with melted cheese and enchilada sauce. Azteca de Oro Mexican Grill, simple goodness! (offers vegan options)

John G.

Granted, I only order from this place from delivery and have had just about everything on the menu, but the biggest standout to me is their bean and cheese burrito. I don't know what it is about such a simple thing but it is a simple thing done very well. Get a spinach tortilla and some extra sour cream and it quickly will become you favorite entree. Delivery is always hot and on time. It is always refreshing to find a late night joint that actually serves quality food. If you are feeling extra fatty with your burrito, get it suiza style with cheese and enchilada sauce on top. Thank you for this establishment

Just found out about this place via Grub Hub. Have been struggling since a couple of my fave Mexican delivery places closed down but finally, this manna from heaven arrived.

This review is for delivery only. It's a rare thing that you can find a Mexican place that will deliver. I was craving Mexican one night but also didn't want to leave my apartment (no, I couldn't make anything--unless there is a dish I don't know about whose ingredients are cream of wheat, cheese, and peanut butter?). In the suburbs, delivery Mexican food is unheard of, but Yelp let me know that this place will deliver. I've ordered from here about two or three times and I would say the food is pretty good. I usually expect more flavor and heat from Mexican food, and lots of the dishes arrived rather bland tasting. I ended up having to mix salsa into a lot of the sides just to give them some flavor. The main part of the dish, tacos, burritos, or quesadillas, are very tasty, though. The delivery always came on time and was still hot when we dug in. The food doesn't wow me enough to make me want to dine in, but a Mexican place that delivers? It gets stars, lots of stars.

We order from this place about once a week. We have never had a single problem. Tonight we had a issue where they did not have the correct order. We ordered for 7 different people so our order was pretty big. When our food arrived there was one order missing. It was not on the receipt so I called and told them they were missing one order. I spoke to Ryan and not only did he apologize for the mistake he turned a bad situation into a pleasant one. Service like this is missing these days. I will continue to order from here and continue to eat those tacos alambre. They are the best tacos I have ever had. Thanks to Ryan and the staff at Azteca De Oro.

Open late and reminds me of authentic tacos I get at a Mexican family parties where they hire chefs (who make the tortillas by hand, grill the meat fresh, etc.). I love my cebollas y cilantro. Great post Wrigley bar crawl food. I love Taco Bell, but screw Taco Bell if I have REAL tacos. Next time, I need to try the chorizo.

Great food and great service. I order take out very often. The sopes and quesadillas are excellent. The food is flavorful but light. You wont get that greasy fast food feeling after eating here. And don't forget the Tres Leches for dessert it is absolutely amazing. The best Tres Leches I've had in Chicago and I've tried many many many places.

I have tried this place only via delivery a couple of times. Each time there are all these pluses 1. Awesome fast delivery. I MEAN FAST!!! 2. food is fresh tasting, seasoned perfectly 3. Prices are decent and not over the top. Tried the Tilapia Bowl: So delicious marinated cilantro lime tilapia with veggies and rice. Tried the Shrimp and fish tacos. Both combinations were delicious. The pickled onions or type of slaw with fish tacos were delicious. Today I had the Vegetarian Enchiladas verdes. OMG delicious HAd a slice of tres leches cake too. IT was yummy. ALL in ALL great food, good service. Will have to go with my hubby in person to give it that final 5th star.!

This place is a gem! Great menu & you cannot go wrong with anything on it. The customer service is awesome as well- very attentive & so quick! Pricing is very cheap for authentic food (in my opinion). Get the fiesta bowl with shrimp & guacamole- its AMAZING! PLUS it's BYOB. Too good to be true!

I have a new favorite place to visit my friends in Wrigleyville. Instead of going to loud, douchey bars that are "restaurants" with all of the prices and none of the quality ($10 quesadillas at a faux Irish pub...all over Clark street...) - I can go HERE. Yes. The ambiance is not super exciting. There is waiter service but the restaurant is tiny and you can order at the counter for takeout. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We were the only people in the restaurant (HOW???), so we could tell when our food was being made right nearby! The guacamole is heavenly. It could be more flavorful, but it is so fresh and addicting. What I love is that you can get any burrito as a bowl, skipping the tortilla. I got a bowl with shredded chicken (maybe a bit more flavor, but that's if I'm splitting hairs), guacamole, amazing chipotle sauce, lettuce, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and other veggies. The combination was delicious and everything came together so well. The salsas are also wonderful, especially the spicy salsa roja and the earthy green tomatillo salsa. It is also cheap but quality-laden nonetheless. You can also use a 25% discount on an already cheap bill by using Yelp and checking in. I seriously need to come back here all the time.

I'm giving Azteca de Oro 4 stars instead of 5 because I've only had it once, so I can't comment on consistency, and I ordered out instead of dining in, so I can't comment too much on service/ambiance, but oh my gosh, was it good! The boyfriend and I ordered delivery from Azteca last night, and the first thing I will say is that it was fast! I placed my order on their website and within 9 minutes received an email saying it was out for delivery! Pretty good, especially for a Saturday night. We ordered the Azteca de Oro burrito with steak and the chicken enchiladas with ranchero sauce. They were both great. Just very fresh and flavorful, and the meat seemed to be good quality. They both came with rice and beans (you had to specify that you wanted the "dinner" in order to get them with the burrito), and they were really good too. I also liked that they threw in a little bag of tortilla chips because I like to scoop the rice and beans with them. We'll definitely be ordering from them or dining in again.

I am OBSESSED with their baja fish tacos - they have these crunchy pickled onions on top. Soooo good. The amount of toppings on their nachos is kind of sparse but they're still tasty. BYOB is awesome, and their delivery is pretty quick.

Alexandra C.

This is a great place to get a Mexican fix without paying a ton of money. The service isn't fantastic if you are eating in, regardless of how many people are in the restaurant at the time, so I usually do take out or delivery but it is BYOB if you do decide to dine in.

The carnitas quesadilla was great; the pork was tasty and the cheese was nicely overflowing. Good size, but admittedly I left a little hungry, which meant I "had" to get a triple chocolate chunk cookie at Insomnia later that night. But six of us had food and a round of nachos for $65; daddy likes cheap! BYO and very attentive service to our group rounded out the experience. I'll be back...and yes, the artwork just inside the front door is legendary.

Went here because Yelp claimed it was a waiter service restaurant. Wanted something with a little more class. Unfortunately, while it did have a waiting staff, it was basically just a glorified walk up and order joint. However, with that said, the food was very tasty. They have a ton of selections and use fresh ingredients. Everything is made right there so you know it's hot and fresh. The flavors were good and both me and my buddy enjoyed our dinners ("tilapia bowl" and "nachos"). So many menu items. The price is also very cheap, which is welcoming. Even a 25% off yelp discount. The only other downside besides the unexpected atmosphere was the so-so service. Overall, great food at a great price. Atmosphere: 6/10 Service: 5/10 Food: 8/10

The food is excellent but slightly overpriced. I also wish the interior was slightly nicer considering it is one of the better Mexican places in lakeview.

SUPER FAST DELIVERY!! I use them twice per week. It's very tasty Mexican food. I have had better like Uncle Julio's but the service is very good here and fast. Plus the food is delicious. They have recipes that are not corporate and taste authentic. I have tried quite a few of their entrees and I have never been disappointed. If you want a super high end Mexican place then move on. If you want very tasty, quality food, fast service, then this is the best.

The first time I went in, the girl who served us said "This is going to be your new favorite restaurant." I demurred, telling her I lived in a neighborhood a couple miles north, and just happened to be in the area. She smiled and said "We'll see." Turns out they're on GrubHub, and they deliver in half an hour to my house. Oh dear. I highly recommend the steak quesadillas - great use of spices. Fried plantains are also good, though it's the first time I've tried them so I don't have much to compare them to. Fish tacos were pretty darn tasty, too. Really, it's better Mexican food than I found the entire time I lived 15 minutes north of the Mexican border. I'm not sure I can think of a better compliment than that.

It was late and I didn't feel like cooking. So, after offering take out/delivery, the option was Mexican. So, after looking around and wanting something new, this place was found (on Delivery.Com). After the order was placed, according to Deliver.Com, the food should arrive within an hour. After an hour and 15 min passed, I decided to call. The person who answered the phone kindly said my order was being made at that point. So, that lead me to believe that if I hadn't called, I would have been waiting longer. To me that is unacceptable regardless of how busy you are. Unfortunately, I wasn't compensated for the extended wait. The food arrived about 20 min after the call. We ordered a fish taco, a chicken taco, a shrimp taco and wings. All were delicious. If not for the late delivery, I would give this place 4 stars. If the need for Mexican takeout comes up again, I would consider trying this place once more.

Ordered shrimp burrito first time and they gave me a fish burrito instead. It was good, but they messed my order up. The rice is very tasty as well as the sauces. Any of their pork dishes are amazing. Love their pork, they make it perfect! This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in lakeview. They deliver very quickly.

Best enchiladas I have ever had. Nothing else compares! Tres leches cake is also very tasty!

Denise I.

We ordered delivery, and the food arrived promptly. I had the chips and guacamole along with a veggie burrito. The guac tasted fresh, and the fajita veggies were a nice addition to the burrito. However, I found the burrito to be on the dry side. My partner's enchiladas looked much tastier than my choice. We will likely order here again, but I will make a different dinner choice.

I decided to try this little place for dinner last night. That was good decision #1. It was empty at about 7:45 on a Saturday, but I figured would not be dissuaded by that. That was good decision #2. The restaurant is small and looks like a grab-and-go place, with the grill right at the counter, but there are a number of small tables and a TV or two. Azteca also seemed very authentic, although I really couldn't tell you if it was not. The chips and salsa to start were great; the chips were very fresh, the salsa, too, and pretty spicy. I went with the Tilapia Bowl, which was good decision #3. I felt I should have taken a picture of the dish, it was so colorful, fresh, varied, and well-plated. But that would have been weird, and my decision not to do it was good de.... eh, I don't like this format anymore. The food was great. The fish was char-grilled, as were the vibrant vegetables underneath, the fresh avocado on top was perfect, and everything tasted terrific. The salsas they put at the table were good, but the rojas was too hot for me. (The verde was less hot.) At a mere $8.45, this was a great meal. Healthy, inexpensive, fresh (seeing a theme?), and a comfortable place. PLUS it is BYOB, if you are so inclined. I'd like to go back and try the tacos/burritos and guacamole, and if that is also as good as this first experience was, I will probably go to 5 stars.

My go to Mexican place for the last 4 years, ordered 2-3 times per month. I live a few blocks away and do dine in and delivery (when lazy). Why 3 stars you ask? It would be five stars, but in the last ~12 months, I've seen a modest decline in the food quality and a very notable decline in the service. I think it is under new management who might be trying to boost profitability by cutting corners in laughable ways. Dining in is where I noticed the biggest change - it used to be table service, prompt refills on drinks and chips, and metal silverware. Now you order at the counter, get crappy plastic silverware, and you're on your own if you are thirsty or run out of chips. I felt like I was an annoyance to the guy taking orders (new owner and/or manager I assume) because my order wasn't to-go. Sigh. I will still continue to order it, because even with the slump I feel they are in now, it is still great food and fast delivery. But owners, if you are listening...you are in the service industry, it might be time to focus on, you know, service. Get your **** together and bring back the Azteca I love.

Claudia M.

BYOB, an acronym that always lures me in. And the good service keeps me coming back for more. I can't believe I just found this place after living in Lakeview for a whole year! Shrimp tacos and Battered Fish tacos, a MUST try. I've had some costly shrimp and fish tacos and this place is the real deal and for cheap! They even have a YELP Check-in deal. You get a 25% off any dinner! Say what!?? For a cheapo like me, that's music to my ears. I feel guilty about taking advantage because the food is already inexpensive. I feel like I'm getting free food. Friendly staff, clean restaurant but kind of tight. If it gets busy you have to wait outside for your take-out. Absolutely cannot take advantage of their 25% of deal. I feel like I'm not paying my fair share for such good food , inexpensive and friendly service. I want this place to stay open for a long time. Great job Azteca!!!

It's not gross but it's also not good. It's not that sickening burrito with grisly meat, it's just plain and dry. The tortilla soup is the only thing worth getting. Go to a better burrito place.

Rachel R.

I have to preface my review with the fact that I was born and raised in Southern California so my expectations of mexican food are quite high. Overall decent food and service. Meat and produce seemed fresh and weren't super greasy, which was nice. Would probably stop in again if were in the immediate area.
(3)
Mandi G.

Maybe they actually read my review because the last few times I have ordered from them have been great. I also feel like I need to note that this is a CASUAL restaurant. I was eating there with a friend and a group of 2 couples who looked like they were from out of town came in and kept looking around, as if they weren't sure if they were in the right place. And one of the guys kept looking at his smart phone. Then they left. I'm sure they used the Yelp app and this popped up as one of the highest rated places in the neighborhood. It has that rating for the food, not the ambiance. There is table service, so grab a 6 pack and just go!

Jeff C.

Great casual Mexican food. Unique variety. Very fresh. Generous portions. The burritos have a nicely grilled, slightly crunchy tortilla.
(4)
Monika P.

They should specify how spicy the salsa is. I ordered the chips and salsa for takeout and it was almost inedible. I like spicy but this was just too much. Also, the trace amounts of avocado in the Azteca de Oro Burrito are so insignificant that they shouldn't even list it. Overall, unimpressed. Expected better based on the reviews.

Sarah W.

Absolutely loved the food here. Everything was delicious! I can not explain in words how glorious the fried ice cream was... After eating here for dinner and having the ice cream for desert I was beyond satisfied and I was wanting it again the following day.

BEST MEXICAN DELIVERY IN CHICAGO!!!! So now that we got that out of the way here's the deal. I have spent more than 12 years trying to find a place in Chicago that could deliver quality Mexican food. I don't know how/why it took me that long to land on this place but it is hands down not only the best quality Mexican food delivered in Chicago, it's also some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. They package things so perfectly that items like Tortilla soup or Churros which would normally transport poorly arrive in perfect condition. We've now ordered twice in 3 days just to make sure the first wasn't a fluke and to try some additional dishes. I have every intention of ordering the entire menu within the next couple of months. Burritos are phenomenal, Plantains are perfect, Churros insane and the Tortilla Soup is probably the best I've ever had. They deliver so quickly that I'm a little nervous about word getting out and clogging their system. However, the person behind this restaurant deserves the fame, deserves the success and deserves to know that they have left every other place in the dust. Large companies like Potbelly, Jimmy Johns, Papa Johns who should have delivery down to a science, ought to pay a $500,000 consulting fee to Azteca de Oro to improve their operations. In a world where McDonalds discontinues Hot Mustard Sauce (the one thing that made their shat hole tolerable) and Potbelly takes 2 hours to deliver a Sandwich via a stupid hipster on a bike, I thank you Azteca de Oro for giving me hope that a passion for good food and speedy delivery is still alive in America. Love you forever.

Used to like this place but during a recent visit their customer service was not good and the food seems over priced especially since its more of a fast food place than a sit down restaurant.

Ramya P.

Good good food... This is a small mexican joint that serves good authentic mexican food at an extremely reasonable price. My favorite were the tostadas. The veggie bowl has tofu and spicy sauces that make it seem like an asian stir fry. Their guac is fresh and oh-so delicious. Loved the fried ice cream and churros too. The meal left me satisfied and can't wait to gobble more guacamole here soon...
(4)
James P.

Please note...this review has nothing to do with the food. I've ordered from here a lot of times, and the food is great. The problem I had the last time was when they took the delivery order, the person on the phone didn't listen and sent my food to the wrong address. When I called back, I was specifically told they would send fresh food and ironically it arrived 10 minutes later and everything was cold and soggy. The manager said he would credit my credit card back so I wouldn't have to pay. So, not only did I get cold soggy food, but also got charged for it. I've called and spoken to the manager on several occasions, but nothing happened. I used to love the food here, but I think they've gotten too busy to handle the volume. Buyer beware!

This is my go-to Mexican restaurant for take out and delivery, because it meets these seemingly simple requirements: 1. Delicious, authentic food 2. Fast delivery 3. Inexpensive prices Let me break those down a bit more: 1. I tend to get enchiladas when I have Mexican food, so I usually get the pollo enchiladas, which are served with rice and beans, but I've also tried their tacos and one of their big burritos. My boyfriend likes their guacamole, and the small serving is more than enough for him. Everything we've had so far has been tasty and well prepared, and the servings are massive. 2. I have never had delivery this fast before. Granted, I live relatively close, so I would expect them to be fairly quick, provided they are not backed up. That said, it often feels like I have barely hung up the phone and the delivery guy is ringing my buzzer. It is fantastic. 3. It's reasonable for what it is. Sure, it's not Taco Bell cheap, but two people can easily eat for $20-25. For me, this is as good as it gets for a fast food delivery Mexican spot, and that gets it five stars. This does not make it fine dining, by any means, but if you're looking for a delicious burrito delivered to your door within ten minutes or less of ordering, this is the place.

This place reminds me of Rockin' Taco, which is now closed, but it used to be my favorite Mexican place. It's actually more California Mexican style, if that's even the proper term. I ordered the Fire-Grilled Quesadilla, which came with a side of guac and sour cream. It was really good! Lots of cilantro, and bacon! It didn't come with rice and beans, which was kind of a bummer, so I ordered a side of each. They were pretty tasty though. Big portions, too. We got delivery, and it was on time, so no complaints there. The only thing was the price tag. It was just a little on the high side since the entrees didn't come with rice and beans. I think the taco dinner did, but the chimichanga entree didn't. But, I think in the end I'd rather pay for good tasting food than settle for cheap, greasy bad food.

I had the chicken tacos which were delicious. My friend had the veggie fajitas which were also good. The guacamole was good, a little salty for me, but my friend thought the salt amount was fine.

Fast delivery. On time and accurate with orders. Staff is friendly. Great Mexican food especially for delivery. Most of the time when I order Mexican at restaurants it gets to me soggy and cold, just ok. This place gets it right.

Did delivery for two items and it came to $30, not cheap in my opinion and not worth the wait. I'm from CA and we have great Mexican food, this was not worth it.

I was looking for a good, hearty meal after a Cubs night game and I didn't want bar food. I'm a paleo-style eater and Mexican food tends to be a good fallback when dining out, so I was more than pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this little restaurant. It was just after 10p when I peeked inside with my girlfriend and saw that no one was inside. It said they were open until midnight on the door, but it looked like they were closed. My girlfriend was about to walk away when I saw someone in the kitchen and I pulled on the door. It was open and they were happy to serve us. I had the Azteca Fajitas, an they were great! Living in SoCal, I have a pretty high standard for Mexican food, so I really was pleasantly surprised with what they served here. I hope more people stumble into this place because I want this business to be there when I'm back in Wrigleyville!

Dan H.

Hands down the best Mexican food in lakeview. Not only are all the ingredients very fresh, but you can see the options here are much healthier then traditional Mexican food. It is my go to place to order for late night delivery, or hungover food the next day. Well, it would be great regardless the time of day. Highlights are the shrimp burrito and tacos. Tastes delicious and the shrimp items come with a special sauce that makes the shrimp dishes stand out from everything else.

Heather P.

You know what a taste for Mexican, grubhub and a desire to pay the least amount possible for a delivery charge gets you??? Mediocre food from Azteca de Oro, that's what. I'll start with the good...the salsa. It tasted fresh and had a bit of a kick. Now for the bad. The mole is pasty and not the least bit interesting. The enchiladas were basic and I had to pay an additional $2 for cheese on top - say what? that isn't standard? Whatever, I love cheese. The rice is completely bland. The "crispy" flautas were missing the crisp - I do realize that could happen when you are getting your food delivered, but in my measily opinion, if you know that could potentially alter the quality of your product don't offer it on a take out menu. Could it have been worse? Sure, but it also could have been a lot better!

Stopped by for a quick bite while in the area. Quick counter service, friendly staff. The food was reasonably priced for the size and tasted good for the type of restaurant it is. If you want a small, order and pay at counter type of establishment, this is the place.

I love the Baja Fish Burrito. We usually get our food delivered, and the delivery has always been the right order, delivered in reasonable amount of time. The restaurant itself is a little bit more on the humble side, but it's clean and the staff are very nice. Not a first date place, but an excellent place to escape the Cubs rush.

I thought I didn't like guacamole until I ate theirs. Wow. Chicken enchiladas and fish tacos are also awesome. Extra points for BYOB!

Will P.

I went into this place because it was BYOB and I didn't want to pay bar prices in the area. I wasn't expecting much, but the tacos were really good, and I appreciated the free chips and salsa. I will be back here next time I go to a show at the Metro.

Had a GREAT delivery.com experience here. Interesting menu, more so than a lot of the standard Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood. I ordered Garlic Lime Shrimp Fajitas, and the tortilla soup. Took a little longer than my stomach wanted, but not excessively long. Food arrived and I was impressed. Every item was packed with care. The soup was almost too hot to eat. It came with a clamshell holding avocado, tortilla strips (to keep them crispy), shredded cilantro, shredded cheese and sour cream - all the garnishes for the soup. The fajitas arrived in a large styrofoam clamshell. Main course in the main compartment, black beans and spanish rice in the two smaller compartments. Accompanying it was another clamshell with pico de gallo, guacamole, a little cheese and sour cream, all the garnishes for the fajitas. Also two salsas - one red, one green. And a foil wrapper full of tortillas. Five in fact. Food was tasty, although the rice and the salsas were a little less flavorfull than I would have liked. However, everything was fresh and appetizing... a great first experience. I look forward to trying other items on their menu.

This place was phenomenal. Normally I don't care for Mexican cuisine because it's generally too greasy and leaves me feeling gross rather than full. Not so with Azteca de Oro. The food was SO FRESH, it repeatedly blew my mind how tasty the ingredients were. Hardly any grease, just delicious fresh food full of flavor. I got the three taco dinner and I was STUFFED. The burritos are fairly priced and from the looks of other patrons orders, were huge. I can't wait to come back to this place, I've finally found a Mexican restaurant I love! Go here if you get a chance. Don't let the smoke shop next door deter you. Azteca de Oro is divine!
(4)
Krista O.

This place is delicious! I've only ordered them from Foodler. I have loved every dish from here so far. I have to say it's the freshest Mexican food ever. I have had their Taco Salads and they are great. The Taco shell is perfectly crisp and the ingredients like the black beans just taste overall so fresh. Their Guacamole is.... AMAZING.... Order from them for carry out or delivery they are great always on time. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed, it will become your favorite new place. If you want to just get an order of Guacamole sometime I urge you to try it.. Thanks Azteca De Oro!

A.J. M.

Excellent first experience here. We were the only ones there for the most part, service was friendly, chips and salsa were very tasty. I judge all mexican joints by enchiladas first thing. So i got them all right, and damn, they were really tasty. I'm looking forward to trying out other things on their menu, cause they look really good.

Yummy yummy tacos. I've ordered from here twice in the past week and am super happy with this place. Fish tacos are delicious, but I like ordering the taco dinner where you get three different kinds, just to change it up. If your order is over $10 you get 10% off on their website - but there's also no minimum! (Take that, grubhub places that make you order $25). Delivery is unbelievably quick. I placed my order at 6:30 and the guy is at my door at 6:45. How does that even happen!?!? I'm perplexed and amazed at the same time. Solid delivery option: quick (!), cheap, and delicious.

I ordered delivery online from here last week using Foodler.com and it was a great deal. Only a $10 min. and a huge menu to choose from. I went with the Azteca de Oro Mexican cartinas burrito bowl. If you order through Foodler there is a 25% discount coupon on your first order. Delivery was on time, the bowl was big and everything was packages nicely. Also got the Guac and chips as a side and they were very good.

Erik S.

I've tried Azteca three times now. While I have had good food from here, I have also had horrible food from here. Normally, I get the chili rellenos. First time, they were excellent. Second time, passable. Third time, tough as leather. Burnt. Cold. Yecch.. I have had tortas here as well. Once good, once OK. All in all I would rate them inconsistent. I won't eat from here again.

Ordered from here yesterday for the first time. We ordered the steak quesadilla, chips and salsa and the tacos alambre. The steak quesadilla was perfect. Good amount of cheese and the steak in it was tender and it wasn't greasy at all. My boyfriend had the tacos alambre. He liked it, however he said he wished the meat had some flavor to it. He liked how they had bacon and cheese and a special sauce on it. The salsa that came with the chips were also very good. We got all that food with tax and tip for $19. We were first time customers and they gave us a 25% discount. The delivery was also very fast. We got our food hot and in 30 minutes. Definitely will be ordering from here again. I want to try the shrimp tacos!

Juls M.

This place gets 5 stars because I can now order fish tacos for delivery that are actually fantastic. We ordered for lunch, and the delivery was prompt and the food wasn't a mess when it arrived. I loved the slaw and pickled onions that topped the tacos. The lime wedge on the side was a nice plus. My boyfriend inhaled his "the works" burrito although it was quite large, and we shared a steak taco and chips 'n' salsa. The salsa was spicy and very fresh tasting. The steak taco would have been better on a flour tortilla; alas, I am not a fan of corn tortillas in general. We also got the queso fundido, but never got to it because we were so full. It will be a nice late-night snack. Definitely ordering again!

Dale P.

It's good not great. A bit pricey but I imagine the rent is high in that location. If your going to a Cub's game and what good Mexican food near the stadium this is a good choice.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
