El Azteca Mexican Restaurant — straightforward mexican in Irving Park. Unpretentious and comfortable, exactly what you want. Leaves you full without breaking the bank. "The corn tortillas were so good and tasted fresh out of Mexico 🇲🇽" — Javier Quinones

“But still looking for a restaurant on the North side that makes flour tortillas”
The fact that their taco truck parks in residential areas until 4 in the morning is ridiculous.
Ordered from Uber Eats a couple nights ago and this is what I got.
I would rate this place a 0 stars if there was an option, I only have a small breakfast break and I got my food the order has spots of bacteria.

Yuuuummmm! Al pastor? Great! The tacos de lengua? Delicious! Chips and salsa were tasty! Vibes were peak. Customers — a friend and I, a lone soccer mom sitting behind us chowing down, and then two gossiping nurses at another table. Very kind staff.

“I love getting any meat from here, so well prepared and delicious of course.”
I love getting any meat from here, so well prepared and delicious of course. I recommend their quesabirrias (always comes with consome) as well as their rice. So beautiful inside and always a wonderful vibe.

Colorful low-key family place with about 40 seats plus carryout and pickup. Full typical menu. Metered street parking. Fairly accessible, no steps.

“I order from here time to time epithet Chiles rellenos, gorditas or sopes.”
I order from here time to time epithet Chiles rellenos, gorditas or sopes. They do deliver, and you can order ahead for pickup. They have the dining area open. They have daily specials, so call to know. They do have good service the times I've ordered. They do have paid parking in front.

“Let's start with the good things.”
Let's start with the good things. The service is quick and good, the food for the most part is good. For example I had the combo #76 which consists of 2entres and 2 sides. You can choose between a sope and Gordita or two of a kind. This is accompanied by rice and beans on the side. The combo itself is very filling and great for the price. The steak sope was great and would recommend their skirt steak tacos judging from the taste. The coffee and tea mugs they use are traditional Mexican clay mugs which make your drinking experience better. This was a simple beautiful touch to add to the experience. For my order I chose to go with two sopes because their Gorditas are not Mexico city style. This in turn means they are heated as tortillas on the griddle. This takes away so much from a traditional Mexican Gordita. The bad: The sides when arrived were mild temp. This leads me to believe they were heated in a microwave (which obviously is not ideal). The Chicharron (pork grinds) were also cold when arriving at the table. This was the worst part of the experience. I wouldn't recommend others to eat the sopes for they are made thick and take away from the other ingredients
