Azteca: A Great Place to Eat Mexican!

It always pleases me in my travels
when I stumble upon a restaurant that serves really delicious and authentic
ethnic fare. And I was especially happy
to find Azteca, in Mount Kisco, New York, just a short trip from my home. This small Mexican eatery and adjoining
grocery store offers great homemade food with friendly service and fun
ambiance. I love going there for a quick
bite after a movie or for a casual lunch. Laura and Eliad went there recently to discuss the blog.
