Always try to visit Azteca when in Hondo! Love their options - enchiladas, tacos, and yes, chicken fried steak!

I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty my food was! We are traveling thru the area and decided to eat here. I got a new dish called Acapulco Chicken which comes with a mango-avocado salsa, lime flavored rice and a small salad. Oh it was so good! And not heavy like so much Mexican food is. The salsa worth the chips was also very good. Hubby got 3 beef tacos with Spanish rice and beans and he liked that too. Definitely a great place to eat!

Never had a bad meal here! The chips and salsa they bring to the table is the best I've had. Prices are quite reasonable and their selection of beverages both Alcoholic and Non are fantastic. Would recommend to anyone in the area to check this place out. The parking is a bit small for the number of seats but there is free parking all along the street.

Wow, what a find. We had fantastic service in this small locally owned place. The homemade sauce with the hot chips were great. They are famous for their chili relleno, which my friend loved. I got the shrimp enchiladas and they melted in my mouth. So glad our friends recommended this place!
