Back at one of our absolute Brisbane favouritesā¦
If you havenāt been to Azteca yet, their menu is a celebration of culinary innovation, blending the rich and diverse flavours of Latin American and Asian cuisines. Itās such a unique combination, and somehow every single dish just works.
We kicked things off with cocktails (because⦠priorities š¤), then out came the tiniest little tacos. Donāt let their size fool you because they PACK a punch. Every one was delicious, but the mushroom taco absolutely stole the show for us.
Then came the main event⦠the COSTILLAS A LA TOTEC. Picture this: a 24-hour slow-cooked short rib, smothered in an 8-hour house-made BBQ sauce, arriving at the table literally steaming away. It was dinner and a show. š¤©
The beef was ridiculously tender and that BBQ sauce? I couldāve happily had another bowl of it. My only complaint⦠I wanted more. š¤
The duck was cooked beautifully too. So delicate, full of flavour, and paired with a simple side salad that was honestly so fresh and delicious. I am a sucker for a good salad!
And can we talk about the YUQUITAS? These fried cassava chips are my non-negotiable order every single visit. Super crunchy, insanely moreish, and that slightly spicy aji amarillo dipping sauce is chefās kiss. š
Weāve been here heaps now and Azteca just doesnāt miss. The food, the cocktails, the service and the vibe are spot on every single time, which is exactly why we keep coming back.
