Editorial Review for El Azteca Restaurant – by Nathan Stull
In Short
Right next to the I-35 corridor, El Azteca is close enough to downtown to attract a major lunch rush. The various dining rooms in the renovated house fills up fast with with politicians, law enforcement officials and downtown business folks. This is one of the only Tex-Mex places you'll find with a solid vegetarian menu. Other popular entrees include a spicy mole enchilada, chili rellenos and cabrito.

Insider Tips
When to GoIf you're in a hurry, it's a gamble. The lunch rush can sneak in and make seating slow, but the servers do their best to make up for it and it shows.

We've been frequenting El Azteca for more than 20 years & consider it the best TexMex restaurant in Austin ... but it also has some interior cuisine dishes & an extensive veggie Mexican food selection. It's a family-run place where the service is friendly, with lots of personal touches. We drive cross-town, passing up probably a dozen decent TexMex restaurants, to return again & again to El Azteca. For out of towners, it's highly recommended as a place to get a good "slice of life" of Austin the way it ought to be.
