“The food was good but a little overpriced.
We had the pork carnitas they were well done cooked, the fish tacos were humongous and we add an extra one for $6 , they were ok. The chips salsa and guacamole were very tasty and delicious (highly recommended), for cocktails we had the Tepache con Tiki and a Vampiro, we were not impressed, I think they still need to work on their cocktails. We also had the Pot De Creme for dessert and it was very tasty
We will definitely go back to try a couple of dishes and other drinks“

“My fave place to grab n go some homemade muy rico tamales! It's literally a window you order at, limited street parking, but you can get thicc delicious tamales hot and ready to eat or to keep for another day. They last a week in the fridge. But mine never last that long. Chicken is my fave, the cheese is good too. Veggies is my least fave but I still like it! Huge portions. Quality people and hearty tamales. Go get you some from Tamaleria Azteca!“

We pretty much get the cauliflower tostada every time, so much so that it's my desert island meal! I will never tire of it. But there is so much more, tacos, beans & rice, guac & chips, margaritas and a fantastic tequila & mezcal selection. Gracias to the team, muy delicioso.“

“Love this place, the food is fantastic, very much a taqueria. The Cameron’s taco are fantastic. Everyone that works there are really friendly, you can tell they like it there because it is the same faces.

They moved in and painted the place bright pink. They replaced another favorite that was not able to survive COVID.

If you get take out, check you got your chips, they love to leave those out of your bag. 5 stars if not for the many bags of missing chips.“

“A Flavorful Journey to Zacatecas: A True Taste of Authentic Mexican Cuisine Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cecilia's Zacatecas Mexican Restaurant, and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. As soon as I walked through the door, I was captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The aroma of freshly prepared spices filled the air, instantly transporting me to the heart of Mexico. Cecilia's dedication to preserving the authentic flavors of Zacatecas cuisine shines through in every dish. The menu is a treasure trove of traditional delights, showcasing her expertise in crafting delectable recipes. The Birria, a slow-cooked stew bursting with rich flavors, was an absolute standout. Each spoonful was a heavenly blend of tender meat, aromatic spices, and a hint of smokiness. It was a true testament to the care and passion that goes into Cecilia's cooking. Another must-try at this restaurant is the Zacatecas-style Gorditas. These handheld delights are made with love and expertise, with a perfectly fluffy masa exterior encasing a variety of mouthwatering fillings. Whether you opt for savory meats or flavorful vegetarian options, each bite is a symphony of textures and tastes that will leave you craving more. To complement the meal, Cecilia offers traditional Mexican beverages that are as refreshing as they are authentic. The Café de la Olla is a fragrant and invigorating cup of coffee brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo, giving it a unique twist. And the Agua de Horchata, a rice and cinnamon-based drink, provides a soothing and creamy accompaniment to the vibrant flavors of the food. It's clear that Cecilia's passion for cooking stems from her upbringing and the invaluable knowledge passed down to her by her mother. Her dedication to preserving the culinary traditions of Zacatecas is evident in every plate she serves. Not only does she deliver exceptional food, but her warmth and welcoming nature also create an inviting ambiance that makes dining at her restaurant a truly memorable experience. In addition to her culinary prowess, Cecilia's persistence as a Latina business owner deserves applause. It is inspiring to see her success and how she has brought a taste of Zacatecas to our community. Supporting local businesses like Cecilia's is a way to celebrate culture and diversity while enjoying incredible food.“
