Taqueria Azucena — Restaurant in Pasadena

This is still a good restaurant, but today I left the place under the impression of being overcharged. It went from 40 to 44 and then tax. So basically, the cashier added 4.00 as a tip.

Still good food, just a questionable practice.

Taqueria Azucena, formerly Los Monteros, is a little restaurant across Food Town that serves good quality typical mexican dishes(not Tex-Mex).

I would never go back there again. these people Too stupid to know how to pack things so no thank you! Word of warning if you go pick up Menudo or post and bring your own container, cause it will be all in your car before...

I ordered some Chilaquiles from there once and they came out good so I chose to go again and order some again. But I’m assuming they changed cooks?? The chilaquiles were basically tortillas soaked in red salsa instead of cooking in in Chile rojo.. they came out super spicy and sour, it was so hard to eat. I called to let them know because I spent money to eat my meal and it was not edible at all.. and they responded with “okay? And idk what do you want us to do about it? “ Well I’m calling Bc I wouldn’t want somebody else to spend money on this and can’t...
