lots of choices

This restaurant has lots of choices for vegetarians.I have tried lots of Mexican restaurants in the area,and none of them have vegetarian tamales! They are to die for at Aztecas Mexican Restaurant!!

I had the Aztecas Special,with two taquitos,the menu called for chicken,beef (i asked to hold the beef),beans ,rice,and everything was topped with lots of lettuce,pice de gallo and jalpanenos.

This dish was so good,and just when you think it can't get any better-- wow down under all the toppings was a tamal! I suggest everyone to try this place out.

My friend also suggest that you try the Taco de Carne Azade.

By the way,the service great,very friendly and helpful.

We 're making a point to eat there once a week.

Willing to go back again

I must say I was very disappointed. I am from Mexican descent, and I cook mexican food at home.

So When I order a combination plate, because I wanted a variety of food . It was covered with lettuce. I could not see what I had ordered. After taking the lettuce off, I discovered that the tamale that was on my plate was only the masa, there was no chicken in it. I relayed this to our server, she brought me a plate of chicken and said they had forgotten to put it on top. This was not a trational tamale, the meat is steamed

right in side the masa. The chef did come out to explain why they do it this way, but I was not happy with his explanination. My partner was happy with his meal. In the mean time I have found a restraunt in the area, that serves the traditional style of Tamale, they are very good, I have even purchased them a dozen at a time for home. Service was good setting was good. I will try it again but this time order something different.

Best Mexican Food in Albany

I have never written a food review before, but this place is so great, I just had to tell others about it! I am a Mexican Food aficionado, and as soon as I realized that there was a new Mexican restaurant in town, I had to run and try it out. I was not disappointed! First of all, we were greeted and seated when we first walked in the door. There is a very comfortable relaxed atmosphere about the place which was nice. Our beverage orders were taken quickly and we were then given a delicious bowl of salsa with chips. The menu was filled with such a variety of foods, many of which I had never seen on a Mexican restaurant menu before, and each one just made me want it more. The food was fantastic and the prices were extremely reasonable. The service was amazing as well, very prompt, courteous, and friendly. We returned to eat here just one week after or first visit just to experience the wonderful food again. We are so happy we did!

• Pros: Friendly and prompt service, great food
