on Citysearch Sep 25, 2009El Azteco was one of my favorite places to eat when I would visit East Lansing, Mich. To my surprise, they had moved the restaurant from its former home in a basement space to a new street side, first floor location. We... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 16, 2006El Azteco is a wonderful Mexican restaurant in downtown East Lansing. My parents had their first date there, and I've been eating there all my life. My tastes have changed a bit towards spicier food since I started... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 25, 2005El Azteco is somewhat of the centerpiece of the East Lansing main town square but unfortunately is not the finest the city has to offer. When you first walk in, you can see the dishwasher right away which immediately... (more)

on Judys Book Nov 04, 2005This salad is a combination of chicken, lettuce, guacamole, peas built on a platter. Two of my friends and myself order this for lunch and someone always takes leftovers home. Add to it their homemade chips and salsa... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 24, 2005El Azteco is one of the older establishments in the ever-changing East Lansing landscape and is a solid place to eat if you are looking for some good Mexican. From the house special taco chips and locally made salsas... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 21, 2005For $10 a full order of Topopo salad simply will rock your world. I highly suggest two people split a single full order. Even split I would almost guarantee that you'd have a full meal left over. Their ingridents are... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 20, 2005The topopo salad (not sure how to spell it) is great. The one salad is enough for two people. It is more of a cross between nachos and a tostada salad. Very great. They also have some great disserts. Overall I like this... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 14, 2005This Restaurant is so good words can't even describe it. But if they could heres what they'd say. This Restaurant has the best salsa. Also when you order a bowl of chicken and rice soup they don't just give you a little... (more)

on Citysearch May 07, 2005Poking around online, people seemed to recommend El Azteco. I'm NOT a picky eater but would not return. They charge for chips and salsa; chips did not taste fresh and salsa was too spicy to eat. Waiter said they only... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 12, 2002The food here is good, and during the summer being able to be seated on the roof is a huge plus! The salsa is quite spicy so watch out, but it's really good. Go for the pitcher and nacho special, but don't expect to see food... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 10, 2002If you've spent anytime in EL you know El Az. Expect good food, cold beer and bad service. This place is a legend. Long live El Azteco . . . (more)
