Get the table side guac -You're welcome!! Service was great. Great specialty drink menu. Food was delicious and came quickly. Will definitely be going back
I went to Plaza Azteca for dinner with a friend this past Friday around 7. The place was pretty packed, but we found parking just fine and snagged two seats at the bar without having to wait. Our bartender's name was Karen and she did an awesome job of checking on us regularly. We were quickly given menus, chips and salsa, and ordered our drinks. Not a huge fan of the salsa, it's watery and flavorless, but the chips are yummy. I got the pomegranate margarita, and my friend had the mango tropical margarita. They are large but I didn't feel mine was too strong, and we both really liked the taste of them. We also got the guacamole, which they make in front of you so you can tailor it to your taste. It was delicious and they give you enough to bring home, so it's worth the price. For my meal I ordered the birria tacos. I felt they were a bit dry and I noticed in 2/3 of my tacos all the meat was to one side, so a few bites were just tortilla I thought the consommé was good and I ordered a side of rice and refried beans, which I enjoyed. My friend got the steak burrito fajitas and she loved her food. I would go back. I really like the service and the drinks, and I think it's a fun place to grab a bite on the weekend. The food is worth a try but I wouldn't recommend the birria tacos.
Been here twice. I really like the food. I had the Tacos el Pastor (marinated pork) very good. They have table-side guacamole so you can get desired hotness. Very tasty. Everyone else was really happy with their selections. My son in law really likes the octopus tacos. The margaritas are very good too. Our water was very prompt and attentive. Everyone was very friendly I just wish they had a better selection of combo plates, it seems like they all had burritos on them and I don't want burritos. I also wish they had tamales on the menu. The tables are still kind of sticky but I think it's a reaction between the varnish and the cleaning solution. If they refinished the tables they probably could solve the problem.
Great find. We were craving Mexican food and found Plaza Azteca. Table side guacamole was prepared with every choice imagined. We choose fajitas for two, pork,chicken, steak,and shrimp with all the ingredients and veggies to achieve perfection. Wood fire grill provides the best tastey char.
Great food 95% or the time. I have had a few dishes that were overcooked. great menu selection and reasonable prices. we are repeat customers.
I don't know why there's so many negative reviews because when I tried this place it was good. They have ample parking and the restaurant is huge. Lot's of sitting and a nice bar area as well. They also have amazing table side guacamole and ceviche. Both the guacamole & ceviche and hits! They are honestly a must have when coming to this restaurant but trust me you will be full if you don't have a lot of people with you lol. Don't order those two items if you're going to order a meal. They are huge and will get you full. For me meal, I ordered the ribeye tacos and they were perfect! The steak was very flavorful and the meal was great! I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.
