La Azteca Tortilleria: The Heart of Authentic Mexican Cuisine in East LA

I've eaten many chili relleno burritos from here since they first opened, both with asada and carnitas. I prefer their chili relleno with asada. The tortillas are excellent. Their salsas are okay. The burritos can be a bit greasy, esply with carnitas. But they're always delicious anyway. (4.5)

This place is popular. Full tables and phone orders. Price wise, a bit on the high side. Burrito was fresh with fresh and delicious. Well worth the price and the small wait. Saw firefighters and Sheriff ordering as well. Order ahead for lunch time.

Be ready to fight to the death for parking. This place is packed, like other reviewers have indicated. A line as soon as I went in, but it was moving pretty quickly. Staff was friendly. I had my heart and mind set on the chile relleno burrito. You can watch them make the tortillas. I went with that, and without meat, which may have been a mistake on my part. They were very quick! I took it to go, since it was pretty busy inside. The flour tortilla was made fresh, so that definitely added to the burrito, and the chile relleno was so good. I'm sort of glad I didn't get meat so I got more of the chile relleno. And the price point didn't really sink my wallet too much. I wish I could come back and try it with meat. If you like a burrito, come here and try the chile relleno burrito.

Hands down the best burritos in LA County. The handmade tortillas make all the difference — warm, soft, and full of flavor. The chile relleno burrito is unbeatable. The place is always busy but totally worth the wait. Authentic and absolutely delicious

Solid breakfast burritos, but the real star is their handmade tortilla. The burritos were enjoyable, with a good balance of ingredients. As for the bean and cheese burrito, it was tasty, but surprisingly, the cheese-to-bean ratio was a bit much. Still, the quality of the tortilla alone makes it worth a visit.

The chile relleno burrito is delicious. However, they have sold me spoiled red salsa twice. They need to do a better job of disposing old salsa.

La Azteca is still one of our favorite burrito places. They moved from their original location. Love their tortilla!!! It reminds me of Taiwanese breakfast egg wrap (dan bing). They also sell their tortillas here. I'm a big fan of their nopales (cactus) and egg burrito. They are popular for the burritos....cleaner or fresher and simple ingredients? NOPALE'S & EGG Burrito $10. cactus.grilled.tomato.onion.cilantro,refried beans - they can make it without eggs (make it vegan). Or my favorite is only without beans due dietary issues with it. Not a problem for them. The SO loves their Asada Burrito. He said Chorizo is okay and felt like baby food in texture. Red and Green sauce. Both are super spicy. Medium spicy lovers will like it. Mild spicy will have to up our game or use your own home sauce. We loved their previous location at Cesar Chavez due to walkable convenience. It was also around the street of bakeries, and nice stroll around the block. Both their old and new location has difficult parking. This new location at least has a parking lot for them, and more indoor seating.

he service and food here are both excellent. The chile relleno with chicken was full of flavor, and the asada burrito is definitely a standout. Their handmade flour tortillas really make a difference—soft, fresh, and perfectly wrapped around generous fillings. The restaurant has its own parking lot and plenty of indoor seating, which is convenient. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality easily justifies it, even with a short wait. I didn’t realize this spot was TikTok famous, but after eating here, it’s easy to see why.
