“The Aztec is a workhorse: rock-solid, virtually indestructible. We’ve had ours since we opened. Being on casters, it can be rolled out easily for cleaning. Our chefs love it, and so do our customers for that added layer of flavor that only grilling over wood imparts.”

“Grilled food is important to both my Frontera Grill and Topolobampo. We look at commercial grills with a critical eye. We’ve found that the Aztec Grill is a wonderful addition to our kitchen as it consistently produces grilled food that’s more flavorful and moist than competing grills. It’s easy to start and clean, and that’s made it a big hit with our staff.”

“The Aztec is quite simply the best wood-fired grill I’ve ever used. Our chefs love it, and our guests love the flavor.”

“I am very enthusiastic about the Aztec Grill. It does a wonderful job of adding flavor and eye appeal to my menu. I find it’s easy to maintain, produces an even heat, not overly hot, and is quite simple to use. I firmly believe it’s one of the main reasons why I’m now in the process of building my second Dearstyne’s.”
