El Azteca Mexican Restaurant

"I pulled into town late on a Friday night. We were able to grab a table and were pleasantly surprised. This place was warm and inviting, the food was good, and the staff was quick. I look forward to stopping in again on my way to my next mountain adventure. I enjoyed the Carnitas Burrito as seen in the picture."

"Pollo Veracruzano. This dish just blew me away. So simple but every ingredient was fresh and worked together so well. Their homemade chorizo is incredible paired with the soft chicken with crispy edges. Good queso too!"

"Fajitas were unbelievable! And their fresh salsa is a clear winner! Best sit down restaurant for a reasonably priced meal and great proportions. Fast service and hot piping hot food in a mountain town like Idaho Springs is not a guarantee. They have an incredible one of a kind chile relleno burrito. El Azteca has it right!"

"El Azteca Mexican Restaurant is located on an amazing stretch of historical Idaho Springs. With so many locally owed small stores and restaurants, it is the best place you can come to spend your weekend and buy a few holiday gifts and fill up on some amazing food. I ordered the Macho Chile Burrito and was completely amazed by how much flavor and how filling it was. I really was just looking for something to refuel with that didn’t take to much effort to get to. Amazing food, clean interior, friendly staff, all at reasonable prices - Good Work!"

"We stopped here on our way for an afternoon hike. The staff was attentive. The food was served hot and full of flavor. An excellent alternative to the other restaurants in Idaho Springs. My only criticism would be that the food came out a bit slow. It just gave us more time to eat chips and salsa and canversate."
