This unpretentious spot serves up stellar homemade tortillas and a menu of beloved Mexican dishes, making it a must-try for burrito lovers.
"Though La Azteca may be better known for its non-breakfast options, the breakfast burrito at this East Los Angeles tortilleria packs a punch. Options include asada and eggs, chorizo and eggs, and more. Plus, they serve breakfast until 2 p.m. For an off-menu breakfast burrito option, order the chile relleno and add a fried egg." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"All the burritos at La Azteca Tortilleria start with fresh flour tortillas made in-house daily. Order the La Azteca, which comes with a cheese-stuffed poblano pepper. The choice of meats like asada, carnitas, and al pastor can also be added in." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"La Azteca Tortilleria is known for its excellent flour tortillas and easy menu. The restaurant offers egg burritos and a signature chile relleno burrito for lunch, priced at $11." - Eater Staff
"Head to this cramped but cozy tortilleria for corn and flour tortillas sold by the dozen and made-to-order burritos and quesadillas. Whether it’s asada, pollo, chorizo, or carnitas, when the tortilla is this exemplary, the stuffing is almost an afterthought." - Eater Staff, Rebecca Roland
"Those seeking a bona fide East LA burrito should look for the substantial flour tortilla versions from La Azteca, whose claim to fame comes from carne asada burritos filled with refried beans and a whole cheesy chile relleno. The burrito will definitely crush any hunger; in fact, one of them is probably good for two grown adults. Just note the hours, call ahead to place an order, and get there before it closes by the mid-afternoon." - Eater Staff
