Good food  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

This is a family friendly place. The decor is ok. The food was pretty good. The drinks were great (even my virgin margarita). The place has a devoted following. I wasn't thrilled with the neighborhood though.

Fun place, good food  4 Star Rating - Very good

Puerto Azul is a good, authentic, sit down Mexican restaurant. I first tried them out after reading that they were voted best Al Pastor tacos in Willow Glen (by the Metro I think). I have to say that I agree with the Metro; there Al Pastor is quite good. Ive enjoyed everything Ive ordered. The dcor is decent; they have a fish theme with nets and a starfish hanging from the ceiling. They also have a large outdoor patio in front that sports a Taco Stand of its own (this maybe just at night). The only complaint I have is: with certain times Ive gone, they have Spanish Karaoke going on in the patio that is pretty loud, and it can get annoying. Also, they are right next to (connected actually) to a bar that can get loud (especially if they are doing Karaoke too. I wouldnt advise going on a weekend, unless fairly loud music is your thing.

Picky eater falls in love. yum 4 Star Rating - Very good

My sister and I are real picky eaters. I tried this place with my friend and fell in love with the food. I have to have all white meat chicken when I order and this place has the best chimichangas made with white meat. I have brought many people here to eat and they all enjoy the food. My sister will call me up to go eat at "the blue mexican resturant", she can only remember Azul as the name. This place is great. We will be visiting often. We also love that a bar is next door, just pop in get a drink and go back to your table. The service is great.

Pros: food...mmmm
Cons: parking can be hard to find

Best Mexican restaurant in Willow Glenn 5 Star Rating - World class

Visited Puerto Azul after being recommended by coworker with this exact phrase "any dish in the menu will delight you" and make sure you try the chavelas. So, I visited this saturday and i must say that the food, service and their chavelas (beer served in a frozen glass with a hint of lemon juice and salt on the rim) were amazing. Anna our server took her time to name the most popular dishes (molcajete, fajitas, fried fish or if I wanted to go for a traditional plate to try one of their combination platters. Their Chips and Sala were awesome too.. Make sure you visit this restaurant if you want to enjoy authentic mexican food.

Pros: Nice decor... family style.

Best Mexican Rice! 4 Star Rating - Very good

Very good Mexican food. Seems authentic with lots of seafood choices. The rice is the best I've ever had. The service can be spotty and some of the dishes can be uneven from one visit to the next. Parking is good on week nights but can be a little tougher on the weekends.
