If you want the sensation of Mexican food, this is the place. The tacos were very delicious and we also liked the ceviche.

Great place for families or social gatherings. We went to the newer suburban location, very spacious and classy decor, easy to park. It's mainly a family business and I think the owner was mostly serving us as it was pretty busy so he was helping out. Not perfect English but a perfect gentleman and extremely accommodating. My family is picky (I'm not) so we actually sent a couple of side dishes back due to cheese or onions being there when it didn't say that on the menu. Which was handled with speed and grace. Speaking of the menu it's huge. They must have like fifty things on there. Sometimes that's a bad sign but not here. Their range is so broad that my son found 'gringo tacos' with just ground beef, cheese and lettuce (exactly what I make for him at home) while I found Chile Colorado, a specialty dish I've never had before. Chopped beef tips in a spicy red sauce. Really hot and delicious. My wife loved the steak Ranchero which came out fajita style and sizzling and daughter liked her veggie bowl. Really enjoyable place.

Have had food from Azul a couple times and enjoyed it, but just ordered fajitas from them via Uber Eats, which were delivered without any tortillas.When we called to ask them how to best resolve this issue, we were told we could come to the restaurant to get them -- which is about a 15 minute drive and totally defeats the purpose of ordering Uber Eats.So, now having to drive to the grocery store to buy tortillas while all of our food gets cold. Really disappointing customer service experience and this will likely be our last time ordering food from them.

The food was amazing. Surprisingly, not very salty like other restaurants around here. I really liked how fast it was serviced. I loved every dish, but what I loved the most was the churros. It was so yummy and crunchy and the filling along with the ice cream was like a symphony.I will for sure go back again♥️

We stopped here for dinner before a show at the Pour House and we were not disappointed. The service and food were really good and the Margaritas were excellent! Definitely well worth the price.

Literally the worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life. The steak was so bland and flavorless it didn't even taste like steak. Not to mention that despite informing the waiter of my gluten intolerance, I was very sick after eating it.Dietary restrictions: I informed the waiter that I have celiac disease and my food absolutely had to be gluten free. He said he checked and it was. I noticed that there were a few pieces of corn and potato that were not part of my dish mixed in with my rice. Clearly they are sloppy about keeping food separate in the kitchen. I was worried about the risk of gluten cross-contamination, but against my better judgement ate my food anyway. I became very ill and have had stomach pain, digestive issues and severe neuropathy for the last 5 days. Obviously that's somewhat my own fault for taking the risk, but they should have been more careful with my food. And judging by the intensity of the pain, I suspect there might have been gluten in the dish itself and not just the possibly contaminated pieces. Very disappointed in the staff and their negligence and lack of knowledge.

Everything I've tried here is great. I find myself ordering the street tacos most frequently. It's within walking distance of my home, so I don't even have to brave Maybank Hwy traffic.Their margaritas are excellent, as well.

Tonight we had Seafood Enchiladas and Arroz con Mariscos. Both dishes had delicious shrimp and scallops. The food was fresh, hot, delicious and plentiful. Azul is our favorite Mexican restaurant!

Everything went well. Good food, service was good. Only concern was my husband's Margarita was too slushy and tasted more slushy and not like a mixed drink. It was white in color.
