This place has fabulous food and huge portions. The combination plate was delicious and was too much for me, but my teenage son devoured it! Our waitress was Karla P. and she was friendly and very attentive. I highly recommend giving them a try!

I ordered a chicken enchilada with a beef taco and both were delicious. I think the chips and salsa come free with every order. The salsa was spicy just the way I like it, and their pico de gallo or salad has a nice kick to it. I hate bland, flavorless salsas, but this place never disappoints me. Their food is delicious and hot when you arrive to pick it up, and the portion sizes are good. I paid $20-$30 for my meal but added cheese. The food is worth every penny and the people are friendly. I love this place. Thank you for all your hard work.

The plates were as big as my head... possibly a little bigger. The food was a HEALTHY portion for an amazing price. $23 for rice, beans, chicken, shrimp, chopped onions and peppers, and tortillas? Love it. The only thing is the ambiance. The colors and the photos all around are amazing, but the bathroom wasn't the cleanest, nor were the seating areas near the bathroom.

I've been coming to Azteca for almost 10 years! The food is EXCELLENT! The manager is AMAZING. I usually go there for dinner and my favorite waitress is Karla, she is so sweet and always makes sure we're doing well. This is a 100/100 for sure! I'm a loyal customer!
