Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant · Monterey of California

The service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and anticipated our needs. The food was delicious with generous portions. I had elote and empanadas and a mango margarita..... Didn't even make it to the main course. Brought the food home thought and it was good for lunch the next day.

Okay, listen to me—this is not Mexican food. This is what happens when people say, “I love tacos!” but think cumin is too spicy.

We came because of the famous white sauce—people here act like it was blessed by the Virgin Mary herself. It’s… fine. Like ranch that got lost at a quinceañera. The chips were straight from a bag, but they tried their best.

Then came the “Mexican Fried Rice,” which should be sued for false advertising. It was plain rice, steamed broccoli and cauliflower (yes, cauliflower), and a splash of queso that looked tired. The steak and chicken on top? Dry. Bland. Like they spent time in witness protection.

And the table? The table leaned so hard I thought it was trying to throw our food away before we could taste it. Honestly, it might’ve been doing us a favor.

I asked for spicy salsa. The server nodded toward a bottle of Tapatío hiding behind the drink menu like it was contraband.

You want the white sauce? Get it to-go. But if you sit down for a full meal, just know—you’ve been warned.

The staff were very polite and efficient. It's kid friendly and the food was great.

Great Fajitas!

Terrible.

Here’s the deal…… You’re in Maryland outside a navy base. So don’t expect much from the Mexican food. The food is okay at best. The restaurant (restrooms, lobby, bar, etc..) is tired and in need of some deep cleaning(especially the restrooms) and fresh paint. Do some searching…. There’s got to be better.

Well, well, well… what do we have here? Another one (cue DJ Khaled voice)! Another fantastic Mexican restaurant in Southern Maryland. The food was packed with flavor, the portions were huge, and the service was spot on. A solid 5 stars and an absolute must-try! And can we talk about the jumbo house margarita? It nearly knocked me off my feet! This place definitely doesn’t skimp on the food or the drinks. Do yourself a favor and get over here now—it’s absolutely worth it!

My husband and I usually go for Mexican at Fiesta Polo, but I was in the mood for a margarita so we came to Plaza Azteca. We had to flag down other staff to get drink refills and our check. We saw our waiter 2 times. The margaritas and food weren’t good. The best part of our meal was the cheese dip and chips. We probably won’t be coming back here.

Ordered the Nacho Supreme for lunch with Shredded chicken. The chicken was fresh from the refrigerator, the nacho chops were as soggy as a wet paper bag, and the toppings were all stone cold. I didn't eat it, explained to the waitress about it being aweful... she couldn't do anything about taking it off the bill because the manager wasn't in. Not like she couldn't get a supervisor to do something. I was on my lunch break so I couldn't stay and make a big deal about it. I do not plan on going back, except to get my $12 back for the plate of crap.

I'm from South Texas so I'm probably a little bias here, but this is mediocre tex mex at best. The waitress was nice and the food was correct but the place just was alright. Not bad by any means, just not good either.
