The food was authentic and excellent. The service was very welcoming and friendly. The interior is bright yet cozy. They even gave us special candy because it was Valentines. Will definitely be back.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was by far the most unpleasant experience I’ve had at this restaurant.
I’ve been here a few times before, and while the service was never amazing, it was usually okay. We mainly kept coming back because my husband really enjoys one specific dish — the seafood soup. However, our visit about two weeks ago completely changed our view. We went on a Saturday or Sunday, and the restaurant was not busy at all — maybe three or four other customers when we arrived. It’s a small restaurant, so we seated ourselves instead of waiting for a server to come around. After being greeted and given menus, it took about five minutes to get chips and salsa. Our server took our order at that point and took the menus. I ordered the cheese quesadillas, and my husband ordered the seafood soup and the fried fish (pescado frito). Before the food arrived, my husband politely asked if the fish could not be over-fried since it tends to be too crunchy for his liking. The waitress said it was already done frying — yet it still took another 15 minutes for the food to come out, despite there being only a couple of tables to attend to. When the food arrived, I was very disappointed with my dish and barely ate it. Multiple servers noticed but no one once checked in to ask if everything was okay. I’ll admit I didn’t speak up, so I won’t make that the main issue. What truly upset me was the complete lack of attention overall. While my husband was halfway through his meal, another customer came in — a white male — and the contrast in service was impossible to ignore. The staff immediately seated him, gave him their full attention, changed the TV channel to what he wanted, and one particular server was laughing excessively and engaging with him nonstop, while completely ignoring the rest of us and other customers in the restaurant. When my husband went to the bathroom, I asked for the check. Our bill came out to about $65–$70, and to my surprise, there was an automatic gratuity of $15.95 added on top of that. I understand that some restaurants include gratuity — that’s fine. What’s not fine is charging gratuity for service that simply wasn’t provided. We paid the bill and left a zero tip because there was absolutely nothing to tip for. The entire experience consisted of being ignored, overcharged, and made to feel uncomfortable while watching another customer receive top-tier service for no apparent reason.
If you’re looking for overpriced food, poor service, and being ignored unless you fit a certain mold, then this might be the place for you. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

Nice small little local place. Service was great Food was decent (except for the pinto beans which were soupy). Overall just very bland. I would not recommend the fried ice cream as the covering was stale.

Most dishes were in the $16 to $24 range. The food was pretty good, not amazing, but a seal of approval from this native Texan. The rice could've been more flavorful, but the carne asada made up for it. The salsa was delicious, and the waitstaff were very attentive.

Seems like they are cutting their portion sizes. I ordered the Fajitas in the past on Uber and they gave you 2 filled plates. One filled with chicken and peppers and the other filled with rice and beans. Now they combine it into one plate. So I’m paying the same price for less food now.

The flavors are fresh and bold — from the sizzling fajitas to the perfectly seasoned tacos, every dish feels homemade and full of care. Portions are generous, and the prices are very fair for the quality.
The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant has a cozy, vibrant vibe that makes it great for both family meals and casual nights out.
If you’re craving authentic Mexican cuisine, Aztec Restaurant is the place to go. Highly recommend the enchiladas and the house margaritas!

The food here tastes incredible. In the summer they have an outside patio with music playing and it just makes a great experience all together. Definitely recommend!

We arrived at 11am. We tried to go in but the door was closed. We saw a table being served outside. But the waitress ignored us and didn't even open the door. We sat outside and the same waitress came to our table and we spoke to her in Portuguese because we are used to going to this place and we always understand each other in Portuguese/Spanish. One waitress was completely rude, stupid and ill-mannered because we spoke Portuguese to her first. We would have had no problem speaking English with her but we decided not to stay there because there are many other places ready to provide good service.
