After trying some other Mexican restaurants in the Lincoln Square area, we decided to give Aztecas Mex a try.
Thankfully we did, because this place quickly became one of our go-to spots for quick, delicious, authentic Mexican food.
I can't comment on a huge range of their menu items as I'm pretty partial to the tacos and tamales, but I can say that these are absolutely fantastic and they are very, very modestly priced. Â Every meat that I've had is great, and their provided salsas are excellent.
If you're looking for affordable authentic Mexican food with an authentic flair in the north part of Lincoln Square, this is definitely the place to go.
I took Christopher here for lunch yesterday. He had the steak fajitas and I had the Albondigas. His fajitas were tasty, though most places I have had them have been served a bit more sizzling on the platter. My Albondigas were ok. The sauce was good, but the quality of the meatballs left something to be desired. It was not a spectacular meal, but certainly not bad either.
This time the service was a little spotty. We could have used a little more attention in a basically empty restaurant. Oh well.
