Azteca Mexican Restaurants

Weak drinks. Rude bartender! We used to like it there but we won’t be back. Nice hostesses that’s where we give one star to. We will find another Mexican restaurant to spend $ 150/​week at

Always happy and content with our visit to Azteca. .beautiful surroundings and the food is fresh and delicious.

I do not recommend this place because the food lacks quality, freshness and taste. Very disappointed.
The people are nice and very welcoming but due to bad food this does not help at all.

This Seattle chain restaurant I’ve visited many times in other locations. This was my first time at this location.
Came here with a group of 10 to say adiós to a colleague moving on for happy hour. We had two servers attending us. Nonalcoholic drinks were automatically filled and they were prompt to ask on serving up more to those having alcohol.
Never got more chips and salsa that were asked for a couple times in the 2.5 hours we were there.
We ordered just two plates of appetizers, quesadillas and taquitos. They were good.
Noisy environment so I wouldn’t recommend if you are looking for a place to have a date.

Well I had a lunch there and it was great — lamb shank.
The décor is nice, the server was polite and helpful.

Some of my favorite mexican food on the Eastside. Taquitos Rancheros and the steak fajitas are spectacular. Also, taco Tuesday is pretty fun if you’ve got a big appetite.

Friendly professional Mexican staff. Great quality food! Lively good ambiance for friends. A complete tasty Mexican experience.

At this location, the waiter revised my total to an amount I did not authorize and it was most certainly a machismo attempt to humiliate me.

Have been here a few times. Tonight is the last. Stupid place. Horrible service. Will never go back.
Zero notion of customer service.

Price? 4.5 stars (consider the quantity)
Food? 4.5 stars (I bring a group of Asian and I am surprised they loved it!!!) Personally I think they are 4 stars.
Atmosphere? 4 stars
Service? 4 stars.
Overall. 4.25 stars.
And yes, I will be back whenever I need to get some (NON fast food styled) Mexican Food.

Great location, great bar section, always great staff. Food is pretty C+/B-, but the bean dip that comes with the chips is stellar. Best Cadillac marg on the east side

Traditional Mexican American food. Served up friendly in an old Garcias of Scottsdale from the 80s. The food is just okay. Happy hour is good. The service is really great. Convenient location, too.

I have had food twice in this restaurant and love the authentic taste. The corn chips and salsa are fresh and hot! As with any Mexican restaurant goes, the quantity of food you get for your order is huge that it could feed two than one!

Great service but not the food was’t that great. The roach coach at the gas station lot down the street looks more promising for a solid meal. Oh well, maybe I will find a place that serve good Mexican food in a restaurant.

My parents and husband and I come here at least once a week. Almost always no wait and great service and amazingly tasty food. We come because it is quick and efficient with a miss here and there every once and awhile. We always ask for Martin he’s the best.
Good food that’s always hot and fresh. Quick too even when busy.
We will be back. Always. People need to chill with their criticisms. You’re not a critic and they don’t claim to be an authentic Mexican. They’re delicious. Plain and simple. Get over yourselves.

Wow… I love this place… The ambient is cozy, they have an amazing margarita… Yum! I went to happy hour time with my friends and the happy hour menu. Mmmm delicious… They have diablo jalapeño … So good… The service is good as well.
I am definitely coming back.

I’ve worked right next to this Azteca for a few years and I don’t think I’d ever been in it until a couple weeks ago. I got a chicken burrito to go and it came with chips and salsa.
Pros:
— Service was quick and very friendly
— Price was pretty reasonable for the amount of food
— Chips and salsa were really good, and they give you a ton of chips. Chips were nice and hot.
Only one con, but it’s a major one: the chicken burrito was completely and utterly flavorless. When you actually looked at the chicken it was plain white, as in there was no evidence of grilling or any use of seasoning. It was about the blandest thing I’ve ever eaten. The presentation was not not great either; just a big mess of a plate covered with lettuce, tomato, and sauce.
I think Azteca hails from a time when people were not into spicy food as much, and liked everything bland. People have gotten a lot more with it now and enjoy more spicy and ethnic food, and Azteca seems to have not caught up with the times. I won’t be going back unless I’m desperate.

Knocked a star off my last review due to the LOUDNESS. Especially the area furthest inside can be incredibly noisy. Our group of 4 had a hard time hearing our conversation.

Close to Microsoft and easily a hit for happy hour when chips, dip and margaritas are on your mind. Nice that it’s walking distance for me and I would not hesitate recommending Azteca for a few drinks and chips.
That said, you’re not going to be impressed with the food if you’ve got any experience eating Mexican food. I’ve had the tortilla soup and it was okay and I enjoyed it. But, once I got chili verde and it was the worst I’ve ever been served and could just eat a few bites. The verde sauce was so watered down and the pork wasn’t to my taste either.
On a good note the service is good and I suggest the closer you sit to the bar area the better your service is going to be.

Never had Azteca until I went to this location about a week ago. I didn’t expect much it being a Mexican chain restaurant. And to be honest, I never had the urge to try it but a big group of my coworkers & I wanted to eat out for lunch last minute and Bai Tong was really busy so we ended up here.
Food was okay, service was good however. The workers at the time I went were very nice. So stars for them. However, I don’t think I will go to another Azteca, or at least suggest it.
Probably my first and last time.
