La Azteca Taco House Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    The twelve taco deal is fantastic when you are looking to smash some good, greasy tacos. The salsa that they make here has a medium kick and is very tasty, making a great companion to your chow box. Every time I've come here I've only ever ordered the tacos with medium shells so I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but it's well worth the stop if you are driving by. Intersection that it's placed at has been the only downside.

    This Mexican restaurant is not much to look at. Inside is very basic style diner with a couple of tables and several booths against the wall. A friend and I went for dinner on a Sunday. There were very few options of places open near downtown Flint on a Sunday evening. As it turned out La Azteca was not busy just because they were open, but because they have some seriously good Mexican food. The prices per meal are also inexpensive, especially considering the amount of food that comes with an order. We started with chips and an order of the guacamole and a couple of Mexican sodas (lime and pineapple). The chips were warm, which was nice, but were really just a means of getting the guac to your mouth. Theirs came studded with the right amount of fresh tomatoes and onion. Awesome. It was mild but they provided a hot sauce so that you could add spice to your own choosing. I'm a big avocado fan and I loved their guac. My friend and I each ordered the beef flour meal which came with a taco, burrito and enchilada along with rice and beans. The rice and beans were alright, the plate also had lettuce and tomato with some type of sweeter red sauce (I'm not sure what it was exactly but it was good), which liven it up a bit. The main entrees were great. The tacos in particular were a high light. Their flour shells were fried in a way that caused them to puff and become the perfect amount of crunchy. I'm not a fan of the hard, chewy shells, these were anything but. The burrito had a beef and potato stew inside and the tortilla had a light crisp to it, as if it had been quickly and lightly fried. Each item had a good amount of meat and flavoring, something that often seems to be lacking at Tex-Mex places. La Aztea did not need to cover up everything in a pile of melted cheese and sauce. I would definitely return if I end up back in the downtown Flint area.

    TACO SALAD!!!!!!!! Really inexpensive taco salad, plenty of grease, totally basic - meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, tortilla chips, and GREASE. all of the delicious grease. I don't care. Their house made salsa completes this meal which should only be considered a way to give you digestive system some likely needed exercise. Whenever I'm in Michigan, this is on my list of places to go to. Some things are just comforting, and this is high up there. The sode fountain has never worked here, but when I was here in May, it was up and running! Hallelujah!

    Tried this place out on a whim. People kept saying "it looks like butt, but the food is tasty". They were pretty much correct. The fish tacos are scrummy, love those; the corn tortillas were a bit mealy but the flavor was great, especially the baja sauce or whatever. Also I got a huge taco salad for $5.75+tax I believe it was. Sides of small guacamole and pico de gallo were $2 and $1.50 respectively. I know that the price of avocados has gone up up, but I still feel a bit cheated. At any rate, it's fairly authentic, and pretty good for the Flint area. So give it a shot if you're craving Mexican food. A word of caution however: if the shabby state of the exterior puts you off, it's about twice as sketchy on the inside. So prepare yourself for that, and you'll be good to go. Bon appetit!

    Likely the worst Mexican food that I've eaten. Don't go there. Avoid at all costs. There are plenty of other, much better options for Mexican fare in the area. Run, don't walk in your efforts to avoid this place. The soda dispenser is consistently broken, the service is horrid and flat-out unfriendly, the food is greasy and tasteless, and the atmosphere is way beyond that of a funky "dive." My quesadillas were soggy and dripping in grease, wrapped in congealed cheese, while my chips seemed cold to the touch, not to mention the fact that they were as stale as could be. This isn't Mexican food- it's a bad joke.

    I've always loved this place. I moved from Michigan 5 years ago. Every time I come home to visit eat here is a must. I've never been disappointed. It's rivaled only buy 1 other places that of which I won't mention. The tacos are magnificent. I'm a medium she'll guy. The only thing that bothered me today is that it seemed as if I should speak to them to get attention.. failed me lol

    After years of saying we should try this place, my wife and I finally did last week. We both got the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. The chicken came out on a skillet, which is always the best way to go, with the usual green pepper, red pepper, onion combo and it had just the right amount of black pepper on it. It came out with some beans, rice, cheese, lettuce (which oddly enough had French on it, but I went with it and put it on my fajitas anyway and it added a nice tang, actually. Maybe it was supposed to be salad, but whatever, it's my food, if I say it's topping, it's topping), guac, and sour cream. Service was really good too. We never ran out of anything (soda, water, chips, salsa, etc.), and they were churning out take-out orders like there was some sort of run on the taco bank.

    I love their food but the terrible neighborhood and even worse customer service make it so that I won't even go there anymore. I paid for an extra salsa recently and they forgot to give it to us. I called them and told them and they said I could pick it up the next day, well unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you think about it) I don't go to that side of town very often so it was about 2 weeks before I went again and when I placed my order by phone I informed them that they owed me a salsa. The woman I spoke with made it seem like getting us that salsa wouldn't be a problem, however, when my fiancé went to pick up the order it apparently was a big problem that La Azteca was not willing to over look. They would not give us an extra salsa! Honestly, I was pissed. I couldn't believe they made such a big deal about some salsa when both times I had placed over $20 orders. The man I talked to was rude and made me feel like I was not a valued patron. Because of this I won't go back.

    An average Mexican restaurant. I wouldn't give them a 5-star but 2-3 stars. Their service is excellent. I come from Texas and incomparable with restaurants down in Texas.

    I love Mexican food, this place is a travesty. Just because your parents have taken you here for years does not a good taco make. Upon my arrival I was excited about the broke down Mortal Kombat cabinet in the entrance way, but thats is precisely where I left my excitement. No complaints about the service. The walls are sparse save for some sombreros and table numbers, dimly lit. It didn't strike me as dirty but it wasn't the most sterile looking place I've eaten at. I'm just going to jump right into this now. No Mexican place should ever, ever charge for chips and salsa. They should be on the table before I even order a drink. Side of guacamole is $2 which is reasonable. Cost to have a spread of guacamole on your burrito that is not equal to the size of the side is also $2. Figure that one out. The meat here is bland, bland, bland. No spice and no flavor aside from the grease. The tortilla on my burrito was so sweet and sugary that it completely overpowered everything, even my Sprite and I have had better pico de gallo out of a tiny metal can. This place is acceptable only under dire circumstances. If you want real, authentic Mexican foods, go to Guadalajara Grill on Dort. Their tacos shit all over this place.

    Everytime I dine here it's always busy. Why? Because the food is really good. Also, the service is great. Whatever is in the gravy for their stewed beef it keeps me coming back for more. Great prices, great service and great food make this place a winner!

    My first time here was the other day and since then I am convinced that there is no mexican restaurant better! The food was simply deloicious! I ordered two medium tacos with cheese and their enchilada, I didn't want to stop eating! the food was that good. La Azteca is not your average taco bell or Armandos, oh no.This place is truly authentic! I will be coming back again and again when I visit Flint. My family talked about this place being delicious when they were younger so I am grateful that I had a chance to taste it and be part of the memory. The service is great and the food is better, give it a try!

    This place does not serve good food. They have never had fountain drinks as far as I know - beverage options have always been limited to the pop machine. I have to say these are the most inhospitable Mexican people I have ever met. They are rude. And they don't serve Guacamole.

    Sort of a college type place I think. Cheap, good mexican food. I had the combination dinner special which had a little bit of everything. All of it was pretty amazing. The taco was much better than what I've had over at La Familia on 5th street. Despite being a hole in the wall, the place is quite clean and I would disagree with people saying the service is poor. I went in on Friday (~1030p) and the lady taking the order was quite pleasant. They do have mexican sodas available for $1 in addition to stuff from the soda pop machine.

    La Azteca is quite literally a hole-in-the-wall. My mom started eating there when she started working at Flint Osteopathic Hospital back in the 70s, and then she took me there when I was young taking private music lessons at the Flint Institute of Music. If you can get past the sign that has been blown out since the late 70s and the less-than-attractive exterior, you are in store for some fabulous Mexican food at an amazing price. You may also want to ignore the darkly-lit interior and mediocre service, too... The last time I was there, you got your pop from the can because the fountain pop machine is broken. I realize I'm not painting the most appetizing picture, but the burrito deluxe is to die for. I also really, really enjoy the soft shell beef and cheese taco (my mouth is watering right now). The hot sauce is homemade and very spicy, so use it sparingly. The food is very flavorful and so filling. Two people can easily get a very filling lunch for less than $10. Now that I'm a student at Michigan State, I don't get to eat at La Azteca as much as I'd like, but I always make an effort to stop in when I'm home. Eat there - you won't be disappointed. I've been eating there for like 20 years now. Something has to keep me going back.

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.
