Is there carne asada fries available??
The crisy shredded beef tacos are the bomb! I would go with the combination plate with beans and rice also, you won't be disappointed! The tequila margarita was delicious and the owners/staff are warm and friendly. The manager/owner must have overheard us comment that we were a bit chilly and he brought a small heater over to warm us up! Looking forward to trying other dishes at this wonderful treasure of a restaurant in Arcata!
MoreGreat little Mexican restaurant the food was fresh and the service was fast. My wife loved blackberry margarita.
MoreI ask the guy at the hotel for one of the best mexican food place he sent me to azteca. He was right im from moreno valley im going to humbodlt next month I will be visiting ur restraunt. Bomb wet burritos
MoreYummy Mexican food. The prices are fair, not expensive($$$) but not your SoCal($) prices either. Big servings and open relatively late. Definitely worth a try.
MoreSo good. Quick service, excellent food. The tortillas are fresh made and absolutely worth trying and coming back for!
MoreEasy stop, quiet friendly atmosphere, great chips, didn't care for the food.bland.
MoreGreat place! Authentic food, full menu, nice mix of domedtic and Mexican beer on tap and in bottles, excellent and attentive service.
MoreGreat food every time! Nice workers. Prices may seem high, but everything in California is expensive, so makes sense.
Morethey lied on the price they charge you $0.20 more for gallon
Good food, big portions, not cheap on price though. Order one thing and split it, trust me.
MoreExcellent food, excellent service. Every time I go in there's almost no one there. It's pretty good, folks, but unless they're doing more than making food they won't be around for long so go eat there.
MoreBest ceviche in northern California
Good Mexican food, a little pricey but not overboard. The atmosphere could use a little help, but definitely a welcome place for family's.
MoreSo it's not that I "disliked" this restaurant, the people working were very sweet. The food wasn't great, bland and watery but it was also close to closing time.
MoreDelicious, authentic Mexican! We love good guacamole, and they did not disappoint on that! Tamales and enchiladas were delicious too. They were very accommodating with outdoor seating options too!
MoreBest Mexican food on the North Coast! Super fast service and always nice and hot!! I strongly suggest the Chicken mole enchiladas!!!
MoreValley Azteca has been consistently amazing every time I've gone. Prices are fair and the quality is very high. Really recommend any burrito with chicken, their chicken is awesome. Can't recommend this place enough for Mexican eats.
MoreFood was alright but not amazing or particularly great in any way. Service was below average, constant empty water, did not ask if we liked the food, did not give beans and a rice that was listed on menu with quesadillas. Overall meh, don't recommend it.
MoreFinally peeked in here and glad I did. Ordered to-go. They were very nice and were pretty quick, especially considering the food quality, which was clearly made with care. Will be back for sure.Edit: Came back... this place is amazing. Mole sauce is incredible. Added photos
MoreNice quiet place. Great selection. Great food! Large servings. 😎
Always a great choice. Loving beautiful family run with excellent food and personal service. Highly recommended!
MoreFirst of all, I love this place. I come here a few times a week. This is a family owned business and of course, the food is home made. The tortillas are made by hand and are amazing. the mole sauce tastes just like the mole I've eaten in Mexico, everything tastes so authentic. The workers are so friendly. Try this place, you won't regret it!edit: I highly recommend the veggie burrito or quesadilla! with horchata.
MoreI’m from Los Angeles, and I have to say this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been at. Being Mexican I know there’s many who have lost the seasoning our plates carry! Only a few restaurants from Los Angeles have the taste all Mexican dishes should have, that being said Valley Azteca is a 5 star restaurant in taste, ambience & service. I’ll be coming back every time I visit my brother at Humboldt University! Amazing!!!
Morebeen one of humboldt’s best for years now!
Valley Azteca is a very good Mexican restaurant. The quality of food is excellent. The service is good and pleasant. I gave it 4 stars only because I think it's a little bit pricey for Mexican food but if you are in town and in the mood for some good Mexican food that tastes homemade, this is the place to go.
MoreHuge plates amazing tortillas. Awesome salsa.
I love this restaurant alot they got alot of good food over there
Just eat here
Wow.... I spent a couple days trying to find decent grub in and around Arcata. Kept on getting screwed over on food sizes and bad service or overpriced food etc. But this was different. The service was SPECTACULAR. The amount of food was amazing. High quality too. Definitely found my new place to eat when i am in Arcata!
MoreThe food was fantastic! We had a wide assortment of dishes and they were all amazing!
MoreFood was really good! Fed a family of 7 for $80
Mole sauce was good. Portions are large. Prices were good. Atmosphere was ok. Parking lot was sketchy. Just didn't love it overall.
MoreVery good food in a clean, quiet restaurant
The food was delicious and tasted homemade but much better! I had the huevos rancheros. I'll have to try one of their margheritas next time
MoreValley Azteca is a sit-down service Mexican restaurant with a big menu and great food. They have a great staff that provides wonderful service and all of the food is as authentic as it gets for the area. I would recommend this place if you're looking to go out for Mexican food. If you plan on getting takeout, call your order in first before going to pick it up. It typically takes 10 minutes for them to prepare a small order.
MoreGreat food and prices. Service is a bit slow, but they are busy.
Excellent food.
Good food fair price friendly staff
First time here. Pleasantly surprised. Nice warm and crispy chips served with two types of hot sauce; one mild, the other smoking hot -- both super flavorful. Wide ranging menu with numerous selections of the usual fare with some other items that one doesn't always see like posole, abondigas, menudo, lingua, and a nice seafood selection too. Staff super friendly and attentative. Bonus for being open on Sunday. Our group had carne asada and shredded beef tacos, enchiladas, and chile rellenos with rice and beans as well as abondigas soup. Everything was delicious. The only thing that was off putting on first impression was that one of the laminated menus needed a really good wipe down. But hey, maybe it was just well loved by a little kid. Definitely will be back to work through their menu and so glad we tried someplace new.
MoreAlways good a good choice
Nice and quiet place. With the best food.
Absolutely love this restaurant! Excellent food and staff!
The Best Authentic Mexican Food Around
Friendly people inside. Good food. Clean.
Good food, large portions at reasonable price point. Service was spotty- slow, no silverware, napkins etc. They were out of several things - no Bohemia, Dos Equis, and several menu items. Large & tasty margaritas.
MoreDelicious authentic Mexican! Family owned and operated. Friendly and clean.
After several years, Valley Azteca remains one of our top options for delicious Mexican food. Family run, very friendly, reasonably priced, nice atmosphere, excellent food.
MoreBest sauce EVER on the chicken and potatoes. Im addicted!!
Love good home cooked food especially when you get food that takes you back to that friend who had a grandma that made everything authentic. Totally recommend this place 💙
MoreVery well kept and accessible spot. They provide large meals and for fair prices. I enjoyed the menu very much and the staff were super friendly and explanatory. I recommend this place.
