Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant

Horribly overpriced and mediocre food. I used to love this place, but since they moved and reopened prices have skyrocketed and I do not think the food is good. Also, the place is crazy loud.

A little pricey but great food

The glass lights and atmosphere look amazing and the staff were friendly and polite. That ends the good things. The booths that are tall and black with silver are so cramped and awkward to sit in. The salsa is ketchup or tomato sauce based flavored. My meal came incorrect and had more unfortunate “salsa” on it. We also got rice and beans - flavorless- white rice - black beans - no seasoning. The margarita we shared was weird, tasted nothing but alcohol- no juice like we requested by its name. Garnished with dried fruit that was unappetizing to look at and wasteful. Hopefully not reused. Shutter.
We are new to area and searching for a good Mexican restaurant. This is not it. Sad

Ate there for dinner about 6 weeks ago as I was staying at the hotel next door. Margs were good but food tasted off. Move forward 8 or 10 hours in the middle of the night and intense cramps with horrific vomiting and diarrhea ensues. Took me 36 hours to recover. I'm staying at the same hotel now and just seeing the restaurant makes me nauseous :(

Plaza Azteca never misses. The CoCo Loco is packed with shrimp, mussels, scallops—a rich mix of delicious seafood served in a fresh coconut. So flavorful and fun to eat. And the margaritas? Generous pours and seriously tasty. Always a great time here.

The experience was average at best — until the check arrived. We were wrongfully charged for another table’s $60+ tab, and the server (Adrian) took it upon himself to “fix” the situation but only made things worse. Instead of resolving it cleanly, he voided our original $210 charge and attempted to recharge the card for $160. This triggered fraud alerts with our bank due to the multiple transactions, and no one could clearly explain how or why this even happened. The whole ordeal turned a mediocre outing into a frustrating mess.

Absolutely delicious food!! Huge servings. We had to ask for boxes to take the rest home. The host (manager) is great! We held him hostage at our table joking and having a great time! Lol! Appetizers were more than enough to fill us up before the main course. Very inviting atmosphere; beautifully decorated! I loved it!
