Great little family restaurant. Loved the birria tacos. Guacamole and chips…I couldn’t stop eating them. Salsa bar a nice touch. Live music on a Sunday afternoon.

I’m still pretty new to the area and so far this has been my favorite restaurant to go to. I’m a very picky eater and even I love it here. I will absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone

Okay, I’m torn on whether or not to share this. Azteca deserves all the props and business, but I don’t want y’all ruining it.
The BEST margaritas in Durham. Truly, the hibiscus marg rivals Kingfisher. All homemade ingredients, even the hibiscus syrup.
The pozole is AMAZING, especially at this time of year.
And it’s been around for almost 20 years, before the “revitalizing” of Durham, so it’s OG.
Thanks for doing your thing, Azteca Grill.

Came here with a craving for grilled jalapenos and they delivered . They had great hot sauces, their gordita super crunchy and delicious.
Folks were really kind and portions were generous.
Paid for chips but it was nice and fresh with the guac
My one complaint is the birria soup was just ok .but gorditas beware, I'll be back.
The place is in a relaxed setting with a bar

This is the cliche “hole in the wall” restaurant where the food will knock your socks off! So, so good!! The tortilla chips are freshly made, and so delicious. To top it all off, the staff are super friendly. Great place to eat authentic Mexican.

My new favorite Mexican restaurant. While waiting for my takeout order, I had the best margaritas made with fresh lime juice by Victor who has a great personality.It was fun to talk him and learn about their family owned restaurant. The food is authentic and FABULOUS! The margaritas are half price on Thursdays too. I highly recommend..
