Can't take a trip to Mexico this year? An enchilada and a frozen margarita at Azteca's Mexican Restaurant is an hour's sojourn in this beautiful country--and you don't even need a passport.
This colorful cantina is located at 4 Central Avenue, near the corner of Lark Street. Windows draped in gauzy curtains overlook the avenue, but inside you're a world away. My dining companion and I both had lunch specials, which arrived at our table in about seven minutes. I had the #9, and for $5.50 I got a platter consisting of chile relleno, beans, salad, and a taco, while my husband ordered the enchilada rancheros $5.75, a tasty rolled enchilada with beans. The chile relleno was an open pepper, heaped with seasoned ground beef and cheese. The enchilada was a standout--a fragrant and flavorful corn tortilla wrapped around beans and smothered in a smoky sauce. The meal was accompanied by a basket of chips and mild, but tasty salsa.
The mariachi music and the conversation at the next table, conducted all in Spanish, only added to Azteca's far-off feeling. At the end of our big meal, we rolled home for a little siesta.
Azteca's is located at 4 Central Avenue. (518) 436-4795. http://www.my-azteca.com/
