The Castillo family is one of the oldest restaurant families in Central Texas still in business today serving up South-of-the-Border cuisine for more than 85 years. Family patriarch Antonio P. Castillo, Sr. started Castillo’s restaurant legacy when he opened The Aztec Cafe in the early 1930s in downtown Waco. The Aztecs introduced authentic Tex-Mex cuisine to the area, and quickly became a popular place to dine. From 1935 to 1948, The Aztec Cafe served delicious Tex-Mex, and was popular with many Baylor students due to the dance hall in the back of the restaurant nicknamed “The Patio.”
What types of steak cuts do you offer on your menu?
We offer a diverse selection of steak cuts to suit every preference, including ribeye, filet mignon, New York strip, sirloin, and porterhouse. Each cut is carefully sourced and expertly prepared to deliver exceptional flavor and tenderness.
How do you prepare your steaks, and what cooking techniques do you use?
Our steaks are prepared using traditional grilling methods to seal in juices and enhance their natural flavors. We season each steak with our signature blend of spices and herbs before cooking to perfection over an open flame or on a hot grill. Our skilled chefs pay close attention to cooking times and temperatures to ensure that each steak is cooked to the desired level of doneness.
Absolutely! We understand that our guests have varying preferences when it comes to steak doneness. Whether you prefer your steak rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done, our chefs are happy to accommodate your request. Additionally, we offer alternative protein options and vegetarian dishes for guests with dietary restrictions or preferences.

La Fiesta made our Christmas wonderful! Our son and his wife have a brand new baby, so we are in Waco for Christmas. We ordered online when we found out we would be here for Christmas and were delighted with the quality of the food.


I placed an online order for some Birra enchiladas because they are my new favorite. I've had them before from La fiesta and since the last time I had them I could not stop thinking about them!
