Excellent food and drinks. Great enchiladas and I highly recommend the Burrito Cho Cho! Drinks are not watered down at all - alcohol strong!
El Azteca has been in my crosshairs for some time, but it never seemed to percolate to the top of the list when we headed out to dine. Today, we were all home at lunchtime, and we opted to make the short hop to Claremore and give the place a shot. I'd heard good things about El Azteca from various friends and family, so I was fairly comfortable in recommending we try it out. Parking lot was pretty full at 12:30, so that reinforced my decision somewhat. We were seated immediately, and the price is surprisingly big. Much bigger than it appears from the outside. Nicely lit, plenty of bright colors and enough room so you feel you're not shoved into a tight space. The menu is a little different than your normal tex-mex fare, with only a few variations of enchiladas and burritos. The bulk of the menu us broken up into general sections: Fajitas, Seafood, Chicken, Steak and Pork. There's a page of lunch specials as well that are pretty routine, albeit with a couple of unique looking choices. We started with a bowl of queso for myself, The Wife and The Kid. The Wife had lunch beef fajitas, The Kid had the lunch beef taco salad, and I, of course, opted for...... wait for it...... pork chile verde. Because I *am* a foregone conclusion, sometimes. The queso was very good. Perfect consistency, with a nice subtly spicy undertone. In short, it was awesome. The Wife's fajitas were good, but they were of the 'all on one plate, not sizzling on a cast iron pan' variety. The flavor was all there, though, and the few bites I had were quite good. The Kid's taco salad was a well done take on a basic favorite. Not a lot of complexity to the dish at all, but for a lunchtime taco salad, it filled the bill nicely. My chile verde was exceptional. If you've read my reviews on tex-mex joints, you know I loves me some pork chile verde. This was some of the best. The pork was tender as mama's love, juicy and well seasoned. The sauce had the proper proportions of tomatillos, chilis and acid. By itself it would have made a great salsa. My only comment on the pork, and it's *just* a comment, not at all a criticism... is that I would have liked to see the pork with a little sear on it. Pretty sure the cook just plopped it in the pan and braised it until it fell apart... and there's not one thing wrong with that. It's just been my experience that a little pre-braise sear adds that extra depth of flavor to the dish. Again.... I'm not complaining at ALL. I cleaned my plate, and would have licked it clean had not decorum (and The Wife) got the better of me and stopped me. If I have any criticism to make, it's that the service seemed a bit off. It took quite a while to get drinks refilled, even in a nearly empty room (by this time, the lunch crowd was largely gone). That said, I've had far worse. This experience in no way will prevent me from returning again. For a short 10 minute drive from home, El Azteca is well worth it in my book.
