Cocina Azteca Grill - Placentia

Came here to try this place. Molcajete is Will coming back.

Let's start with the food, I have to say it was a good experience. The food was very delicious almost at home like cooking. They have a variety of Mexican dishes and specialties.

We were looking for a good Carne Asada. The tacos were great with beans and rice. The Carne Asada plate had good taste, but the carne was a little hard. The Carne Asada Nachos were delicious. The carne for the nachos and Tacos was delicate and tasteful. They give you red and green sauce on the side, our favorite was the red. They serve beer, that was great to have a can XX warehouse nice and cold. Service was very friendly.

Visited this place because of Tik Tok and it was good! The server/cashier was very polite and generous and he explained to us the concept of the restaurant. He also let us know about the buffet they have on Saturdays and Sundays. Food was very delicious. We're definitely coming back for the buffet!

Went here for the chilaquiles plate. Chilaquiles is a Mexican dish for those who do not know, are fried corn tortilla chips and cooked in either red or green chile sauce topped with cheese and Mexican Crema (sour cream sauce). Usually served with over easy eggs or eggs scrambled and incorporated into the dish for breakfast. I went wth the red sauce. The texture was perfect. I like to have a little crunch when I take a bite. Sometimes the chips can get softened when cooked in the sauce too long. Not the case here though! These were cooked just right with that perfect crispy crunch in every bite. The over-easy eggs added a layer of flavor. With that warm soft centered broken yoke oozing and mixing into every delicious morsel. The refried beans were perfect. The rice was flavorful, light, fluffy and on point. The house salsa has fresh chunks of tasty avocado in it and is very delicious on the chips served when seated. See photos. My wife opted for the mashed potato filled hard shell tacos. She really enjoyed them as well. She's not a real big meat eater so this was a perfect choice. Bold flavors, authentic recipes, visually stunning colors on every plate, plus the great friendly staff makes this all worth it! Be sure to try their thick hand made tortillas too!
