Boston's first Provence themed brasserie


Business Summary  what's this?
For three star Mexican, try Cafe Azteca in the North of Boston area. Know before you go: this place features live music.
3.0 of 5 stars.
I will return someday to give Cafe Azteca another chance but my first impressions are not very positive. If my experience on Friday night is typical than I would only give this place two stars but I'm...

Mexican twice in one week; made for a helpful comparison to last weeks visit at "Cielito Lindo."Right off the bat, the atmosphere was an improvement. The layout was divided into three rooms of festive...

Our first visit was this past weekend. We arrived 5 minutes before closing, but they were entirely welcoming! We tried the Enchiladas Oxaqenas, if you like mole sauce you will love this. Nice rich...

So solid - pretty close to SF Mission authentic. Nice mole enchiladas, and a friendly staff as well. Not huge on ambience, but the food is great.

CafA� Azteca serves authentic Mexican food in Massachusetts. That feat, in and of itself, is deserving of a positive review. However, once the shock and awe of finding Mole Poblano on a menu east of...

This is pretty good stuff but it is not my favorite. I really prefer La Caretta in Derry or Nashua, even though LC is more Tex-Mexy. However, I really like the cheese enchiladas here-- they are the...

If you hail taco bell as a great place to get Mexican cuisine. Don't go here. If On The Border chains hold a special place in your heart- skip Azteca and leave more for the rest of us. However if...

My boyfriend highly recommended Cafe Azteca, based pretty much on memories from his childhood. As such, I walked into this hole-in-the-wall in Lawrence with ever-so-slight hesitation. I must say,...

As my past reviews indicate, I'm a big fan of Mexican. Since we don't make it to Anna's as often as we like, we went on a search near our new house for good Mexican food and hit the jackpot with Cafe...

From the outside, Cafe Azteca doesn't look like much (complete with bars on the windows) but inside it is like entering a cozy villa in a busy Mexican town. The atmosphere is miles above the standard...

Real Mexican food. Their burritos are rolled on the thighs of virgins. But seriously, this place is awesome. Go there before it gets dark or you are likely to get shot walking around in this neighborhood.
