Villa Azteca is a Mexican restaurant that has received high praise on Check Please and KQED. It is likely one of the best Mexican restaurants in Monterey County. The restaurant offers excellent food and service, with quick responses to customer requests. Vegetarian options are available, including cauliflower tacos, which have received positive reviews.
The menu features unique dishes, such as queso fundido, bone marrow with a chili oil, and carnitas enchiladas with a pink sauce. The bone marrow with chili oil was a standout dish for its unique taste. The carnitas enchiladas had a pink sauce that was a bit unusual, possibly a beet sauce mixed with fresh cream.
The chicken mole was slightly spicy and good, but the Mole Amarillo was the standout main dish, with a pumpkin sauce that was excellent with prawns. It is recommended to order the Mole Amarillo with extra prawns.
For dessert, the flan was thick, like cheesecake, while the tiramisu was light, creamy, and delicious. The Palomas were also excellent, and it is recommended to order the flight of Palomas.
The restaurant has easy parking and a full house, indicating its popularity. In summary, Villa Azteca offers an excellent dining experience with unique and delicious dishes.
