what do you guys know about them?
They used to be called just Team Aztecas and were run by Joe Torres. A lot of the Mexican runners for whatever the reason quit. Team Aztecas was falling apart and so Joe tried to get any good runners that he could which included non Mexican runners like Julius Randich. So, they renamed to Team Aztecas International. As of now I haven't seen or heard anything from them at least here in Dallas. Joe Torres is still here in Dallas, but he's looked down upon by many people. He's not a good person from what I hear.
The word from the Latin community was that Joe was hiding the winnings from some of the athletes. They didn't speak english and didn't always know what they won. I don't know if this is really true, but what I do know is that Joe Torres is not looked on with favor by the Latin Community, Dallas Community or most runners I know. It was great having some awesome runners from Mexico race in Dallas, but Joe just used the team as a tool for his own lack of talent. His athletes grew tired of him. My advice, talk to some athletes who ran for him. They will tell you the same thing. Team Aztecas is dead.
From what I hear Joe Torres is a crook and he's pretty much shunned from the Dallas scene. He thinks he's the shit, but his day is over. He is always downing what others do in the Dallas area, but he has no room to talk. The consensus is that Joe is pretty much an asshole!
