We went to this restaurant on our first night in Interlaken & it was clearly the best meal of our stay there of 5 days. Excellent food & great service. We had a kid with us & they specifically made a dish of his choice non spicy. Slightly overpriced but a good experience.

If you love mexican food, this place is a must visit in Interlaken. We loved this place for its awesome food, lively atmosphere, and great service. We asked the owner to make our food spicy and he shared some habanero salsa with us that was absolutely out of this world. All of the dishes we ordered were truly amazing. Their... More

Delicious Mexican food, great drinks, and a charming atmosphere. My girl friend and I stopped here for dinner and had a lovely time. Our waiter eddy as a great guy and offered interesting conversation and tasty drinks. Also the live music made the place feel like a little slice of Mexico half way around the world.

A friend suggested this restaurant and we had a great evening there. The atmosphere was very lively, and the service very good. The food was nice, but not extraordinary - but wow - the marghuerita's are amazing!

It's the first and only mexican restaurant in Interlaken and one of the first in Switzerland. The owner ist Mexican, the kitchen is authentic, sometimes the owner is the cook. Live music often comes with food and drinks - it can become loud, the restaurant is quite small, but there's a nice terrasse to the street without traffic.

First of all, we made this place a destination based on other TripAdvisor reviews. My husband and I are musicians and have a professional act back in the USA, so the live music was also an attraction here for us. The place has a good Mexican feel to it. We sat at the bar and ordered food and margaritas. The... More

We were craving Mexican food so we were thrilled to find this place. My husband, a Mexican-American was really looking forward to it. We arrived on a Saturday night and we were lucky to get in without a reservation. The food was good, though I found out the hard way that "Totopitos a la gringa" is just a plate of... More

We stumbled across El Azteca a few days ago and had a great night. It is a very quiet time of the year and at first we were the only ones in the restaurant. The owner, who is Mexican, was very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed both the food and his company. Would certainly recommend and return.

Recently spent a few days in Interlaken and after a disappointing Swiss Fondue experience we decided to try El Azteca Mexican Restaurant. It was amazing, like going from black & white to color, Warm welcome, great atmosphere and the food was outstanding. Vibrant, authentic Mexican food and excellent service. Also the local beer was very reasonably priced at 5 chf... More

El Azteca made our trip to Interlaken so special. This restaurant offers very authentic Mexican food (owner=Mexican) and a large variety of food and drink options. Most of all, El Azteca greets you with very friendly and accommodating staff. You can't go wrong with this restaurant and I personally recommend the enchiladas with a few margaritas, El Azteca has their... More
