El Azteca is positively the best Mexican fare available in Midtown, with an authentic atmosphere and attentive staff. In an area that caters mostly to the tourist crowd, this restaurant is an undiscovered gem and a refreshing retreat from the hordes of theatergoers on Eighth Avenue. The space is small but airy with a back dining area that can accommodate large dinner parties. The front bar is festively lit with lights and Mexican decor and scattered with additional small tables. The food is really good and the prices reasonable, ranging from $5 dollars for a quesadilla to $13.95 for an all out prix fix meal (margarita included). And speaking of margaritas, literally, they are the best in New York City. At happy hour, they are only 3 dollars with all the free chips and salsa you can eat.
