Varrios Los Aztecas

Overview

The Varrios Los Aztecas are a small Mexican-American gang in Los Santos led by Cesar Vialpando. They wear turquoise, love lowriders and become firm allies of Carl Johnson.

History

By 1992 the Aztecas have been weakened by the Vagos and are reduced to a handful of loyal members. Cesar keeps them going while dating Kendl Johnson, which ties the gang to the Johnson family despite Sweet's misgivings.

Territory

The Aztecas are based around El Corona and Little Mexico, with Unity Station as a regular meeting point. They lose ground to the Vagos during the story and recover El Corona near the end.

Leadership and members

Cesar Vialpando leads the gang. Jose is a loyal friend of his, and veterans Gal, Hazer and Sunny return to fight in Los Desperados.

Role in the story

Cesar introduces CJ to the lowrider scene and later tips him off about Big Smoke and Ryder's betrayal in The Green Sabre. The gang's own revival comes in Los Desperados, when CJ helps Cesar and the veterans retake El Corona from the Vagos before the final assault in End of the Line.

Relations with other gangs

They are allied with the Grove Street Families through Cesar and CJ. The Los Santos Vagos and San Fierro Rifa are rival Latino gangs, and the Ballas are also hostile.
