Just pulled in to the Econolodge in Omaha, tired and hungry. After checking with the clerk at the front desk, we were referred to Azteca Restaurant which luckily was just across the road. In less than 5 minutes, we were being greeted and seated and a very nice waitress was taking our drink orders. The Azteca looks to be quite old but seems to be very well kept and extremely organized. The decor was early ‘70s but we’ll maintained. After a sufficient amount of Margarita, Dos Equis and bowls of chips, we ordered the exact same entree……a chicken enchilada and a beef taco which also was accompanied by refried beans and Spanish rice. The entrees arrived on a plate that had to be 150 degrees. We were warned!! The food was delicious and I am not exaggerating, the plate was still warm when we were finishing up the last bites 20 minutes later. If you want it and you want it hot, there is no other place to come.

We just hit the jackpot! If you love authentic Mexican food, are traveling through Omaha, NE and are needing a really quick meal, go here!!!! Don’t let the full parking lot dissuade you, service is lightning fast, food was superb and most of all the prices were better than reasonable!

We had heard about this from friends so we stopped for dinner on our way back to Lincoln, The building is pretty nondescript with the typical older interior but everything seemed clean. Our server (Louis?) was fantastic. He explained a number of menu options for my wife, brought everything promptly and checked on us frequently but not too often. I really like that in addition to chips they bring bean dip, jalapeno slaw and a salsa. The salsa was a little spicy for my taste but the wife loved it. I think they offer a milder version. We both had combo meals and agreed that it was definitely well above average. Value for the money was good. The table next to us had some huge burritos that looked great. Overall a very good experience and would definitely return.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Omaha. Love their complementary starters that includes corn chips, bean dip, jalapeño slaw, and salsa. The salsa is not your traditional Mexican restaurant fare, it is a bit spicier and full of flavorful chili peppers. The jalapeño slaw is my absolute favorite of their three starters. The combination of crunchiness, saltiness, and heat really hits the spot. They also give you complementary dessert in the form of fried cinnamon and sugar coated flour crisps drizzled with strawberry syrup and honey and then topped with a small dollop of whipped cream. They are the perfect ending to a great meal. Their food is consistently a winner, and service always friendly and efficient. Been there dozens of times with many different people and I and my guests have never been disappointed. The place could use some remodeling and updating, but I’ll let that go because everything else there is so good. I still give it five stars for its genuine understated greatness!!!

GF and I drive 100 miles to eat here at least once a month. We love the warm chips (very thin !) and she loves the bean dip while I enjoy the salsa. She does not like anything spicy while I do but the food here satisfies us both. She likes the vegetarian burrito and my favorite (so far) is the Carnita burrito. It is like fajitas (either steak or chicken). She also liked the chicken taquitos, and I also like the Deluxe Colorado burritos and the tacos. Everything we have tried has been excellent. Most meals come with yummy beans and rice.Service is great, and our bill is usually around $25 including iced teas, plus tip. The wait staff always earns a good tip for their excellent service even in these times of the Covid when many businesses have said to heck with customer service.

We had nachos and refried beans. Both were excellent. Chips and salsa - original salsa too hot for me, so I got the mild version. People who like hot salsa would enjoy the quality. I just dont do hot. We came to get some drinks after settling in. Drinks were fair.

Burrito Supreme was fabulous. Also enjoyed the complementary slaw, bean dip & chips. Wonderful service. Ice tea great also.

Azteca is keeping the level of service & quality of food as great as ever and exercising smart safety precautions with masks, social distancing (for eating in)! Appreciate the restaurants, like AZTECA making the easy to implement extra measures for your and my health! Our take-aways tonight were Carnita de Res & Crab Enchiladas w/Spinach! Azteca continues to provide a healthy amount of warm tortilla chips and salsa with every order!
We placed a large take out order for tacos and chips. Gave Oscar 1 WEEK before we needed the order so plenty of time to plan. We had a specific time we needed the food. The day of our lunch, it was confirmed what time the food needed to be here. The food arrived almost 1 HOUR!!! late. No apologizes, no explanation, no return phone calls. Of course the food was cold and the bottom of the tacos fell out. We tried to help a local restaurant during the pandemic and we were slapped in the face.

We placed a large take out order (tacos and chips) to help a local business during the pandemic. Oscar was given 1 week in advance. It was stressed on more than one occasion what time the food needed to be delivered to feed our employees. Confirmed and once again stressed the time line the morning of the delivery. Order was delivered an HOUR late, no apologizes, no explanations, no return phone call. Food was cold and had to use a fork to eat the taco since the shell was soggy.

Very good service and a good dining experience. The lighting fixtures should be replaced! I like it that both salsa and retried beans are served with the chips. A strawberry and whipped cream on top of a tasty chip is presented with the bill. I didn’t care for the Chile relleno. Crab enchiladas are good!

Disappointing! Letuce, avocado, and tomatoes on my enchilada seemed to be the left overs they had from the day before. Plates were super hot to the touch and the waiter didnt even bother to warn us about it, water was good tho.
