Azteca Mexican Restaurant in other cities:
Always a great experience dining here. Food is amazing! Staff is courteous and fast. Would definitely recommend for a great night out.
Fajita for 2 and pitcher of Margaritas. Our server was very nice, friendly and even though we got there kind of Late on a Friday night they didnt make us feel rushed to get out. We will definitely be back.
What can I say? The waiter alone was friendly, courteous, prompt, and very cute. Top that with the food being beyond delicious and a strawberry margarita had me singing, Margaritaville lol...celebrated my daughters birthday and the waiter came out after dinner with a dessert singing happy birthday to her. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone when in the mood for great tasting Mexican food and friendly employees.
Service was very slow. Other tables came in after us and were attended to right away. Waiter couldnt stay long enough to let us order Food was incorrect, but delicious once we received what we ordered.
My first time here and I really enjoyed it. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was really great. Cant wait to go back!
I ordered a lunch special because it was $7.99When he rings it up he says &9.50 because thats what they told him to charge? I didnt argue since there was a line for check out. that seems like a shady business practice to me. Good luck with thatand adios amigos.
Very polite, upbeat waiter. We were seated immediately.Food came to our table Very fast and hot.The food was very good.
First time there. WOW its was good . Friendly Staff, Fast service. 8 min from order to table thats fast. I will definitely return
If you love Mexican food this is a must visit place. Good food alongside good customer service make this a great place to eat. Would highly recommend this place.
Ive been here probably 5 times and had great service and great food each time. The restaurant is always clean and very efficiently run. Attentive waitstaff and the food comes out quickly. Ive never been disappointed.
I have been coming here since I was a child with my family I absolutely love the food and try to place a pick up order at least once a week. They are really accommodating and friendly and they will happily substitute or add things if you just ask. They also over time of seeing you come in often get to know you by name and start to treat you like family I absolutely love going here, they have great customer service and the food is always delicious. You must try the cheese dip it’s AMAZING I will not place an order without it.
Great place, the server was quite nice and on top of things. Great food. Very clean.
The food portion was more than enough and the taste was great! I enjoyed the food!
Damn good food and relax atmosphere while great service. Great Mexican food for the Midwest
Man was it busy that night. As busy as it was before covid. Luckily they seated us in last than 5 minutes. The food came out of the kitchen pretty quick and it was good. 2 thumbs up!!!
I had amazing time with my boyfriend. The server was very friendly and went beyond my expectations as I requested coffee and he politely went to make a cup for me. He could have said we are out of coffee but he immediately offered to make some. I do appreciate the little things. Food was delicious.
Everything was good. I feel, in Ohio, the food lacks some of the traditional flavor in order to appease the masses and this is true here. But all was still good.
Great food and great service. The hospitality is 110% excellent..thank you for the happy birthday singing for my son...
Love this place!! From the service to the food & drinks!! You definitely get your money’s worth!! My kids loved it too!
Good food, friendly people. Never had a bad experience here
I love this place always have.. the staff are super nice and helpful, my only complaint is that I couldnt get a Pina colada this last time I was there because they didnt have them :(
Great food at a decent price! Would be 5 stars if lunch service/food was as good as dinner service/food was, but its unfortunately not.
When I entered the building I thought to myself This is a nice little place The staff was friendly and responsive at first. The sweet tea is delicious! The chips were warm and the salsa was very mild not spicy at all like most competing Mexican restaurants. I thought it was very good. Now for the bad part.. I ordered the Super Rancheros (5 enchiladas) It came with almost no lettuce, sour cream was very thinly squirted on and their was only one thinly sliced tomato on top. *It was extremely messy* The pork is very fatty and tastes the way canned cat food smells. The waitresses were very nice at first but I was shocked to see how drastically their attitudes changed when I told them that I didnt think the food tasted good and wanted to order the steak burrito instead. ((((By the way our waitress never even told us her name!)))) So Waitress #6 told me that they could only refund half of the plate because I had eaten some of the pork enchilada and opened the cheese enchilada (due to the lack of cheese inside)When asked at the counter if everything was enjoyable I stated that I had actually had an issue and she sent over the same waitress (#6) then they spoke in Spanish for a minute and our waitress continuously refused to refund the plate.I am astounded by these workers lack of respect and integrity. I believe that when a customer complains about a dish tasting so bad and then orders a different dish they should then have the original charge taken off of their bill and be charged for the second item. This was only such a terrible experience because of the attitudes of the workers and the fact that they were simply money hungry.
I really think the food here is the best local mexican food. Entrees, salsa, margs, all top of the line for the area here. The people are very nice, the building is nice and updated on the inside. The drinks are good! Not too sweet, and compliments the meal nicely. I love their chips and salsa as well as their cheese dip. Their guak could be better, it actually isnt super fresh tasting.. but I make my own guak at home so nothing really compares to that. I love their burritos as they are a large portion. YOU MUST TRY THEIR CRANE ASADA - it is amazing! All in all, I highly recommend giving this place a try. We will be back, again, and again!
Had a party of 20 or so, were very accommodating! Good food! They were out of patron though...at a Mexican place... 🤣🤣
Food was good drinks even better the food portions are a bit on the small side i ordered a super buritto it was a reg tortilla. Clean inside and good prices.
This is one of the best Mexican restaurants we have ever been to! I could go on and on about the salsa alone, fresh ingredients, not too watery or thick and tons of fresh cilantro! Our chips were warm, our drinks never empty, and our entrees were delicious! The service was great too, our waiter had a good timing and a sense of humor! Highly recommend!
Please was great, Lucas was our server and he was helpful and knew the menu! I stopped by before and it was busy so I thought it must be good but didn’t have time to wait. But, I came back and I understand why the crowd! Hot! Delicious! Mexican Food! You’ll enjoy it and I hope you do!
Solid Mexican food. Not the best but its quality. Would recommend.
The waiter we had was literally the best A+ to him
First visit and all three meals ordered was yummy! Our server Tommy was awesome.
Wow what a really nice place and our server was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back here and the food was AMAZING
This place has disrespected me and my husband. We went to have lunch and everything was good. Until the waitress took our order and asked what did we want. My husband went first and ordered the spicy burrito the way it is. I ordered the spicy burrito with the exception of chicken and I wanted it to be replaced with shrimp. Well the waitress told me one sec. then she came back and said I can’t add shrimp. I asked the manager to come over and help me. I told him the same thing. He stated it isn’t possible because shrimp is expensive 🥴 so I tell him I will pay extra he tells me no. Great! I told him that’s ok just put my husband order in. Then He says what do you want, you don’t like chicken? I told him no. Then he says well if you don’t order nothing you have to pay for chips and salsa. I just can’t believe we had to go through this at all and I feel like it was racially motivated to attack us! Mean while he never put my husband order in! I will report this matter to better business bureau.
Amazing atmosphere, pleasant servers and fantastic food!
There’s better places in town. We’ve gone a couple of times now. First time there was a fight in the restaurant. Interesting. Next time, I paid $20ish for shrimp fajitas that were charred black. Then this time we got Postmates, paid almost $13 for a chicken fajita quesadilla. Showed up like the attached - didn’t even include the veggies and half the thing was filled. We won’t be returning again.
The roof leaks need fixed and sewage smell in the bathroom is nauseating.
Excellent food! And alot of it. Super nice staff stayed on top of everything. Will definitely be back several more times in future
Seated & no one ever came to take our order. Waved at hostess & she came to take drink order & find someone to wait on our table of 2. We ordered a pitcher if raspberry daiquiris to which she said her brother would have to get it. Here returned with drinks. I did NOT like it & asked for more raspberry flavor. He added that & it was still just horrible. BF said hed drink it & not tp waste. Got iced tea instead- so strong had to add water. Ordered fajitas grande NO SHRIMP. ABSOLUTELY NO SHRIMP PLZ. Brought sides, then brought sizzling platter-WITH SHRIMP! He immediately returned it to the kitchen to remake. Returned a bit later with correct order. Sides were then cold. Never checked back. Meat was dry & needed seasoned. Again not wanting to waste we ate our meal. Cashier stored to all if all was ok. We nodded it was ok.Told cashier at check out about the experience & he didnt seem concerned. I wanted him to know of the experience NOT to discount our meal which i stated to him but he still took off 10%. As i was telling him that even if id been given a gift cert to eat there for free i would not return... all while i was signing & young the server- he blew me off & started to speak to the next person waiting to cash out.This was our first time here. My friends daughter was celebrating her 21st & loves this place. We were there to celebrate too but got our own table for more privacy. She highly recommend this place & Im sorry but i was completely disappointed especially after not being able to go out for so long due to Covid. This was our FIRST dine in experience in over a year!
Food and margaritas were average. The salsa was fantastic. Friendly service.
Delicious as always. Food hot. Service excellent
Always great service!!! And huge good cold drinks....love coming here!!!
Excellent food. Extremely fast service. Even when extremely busy our meal took less than 10 min. The prices are really affordable. $1.50 tacos on Tuesdays. Im a frequent customer. In my opinion this is the best authentic Mexican food in Akron. Been many times. Its excellent food and service every time.
Overall good food and good drinks just wish the burritos where little bigger .... 😂 I love too eat
Always a gracious Hello, and Warm welcome, Daniel just one of the waiters there that remembers my name and my favorite drinks. I have gone there maybe 3 times in this past year, Will return..And recomend...
We were a large party. Staff was very friendly . The food was delicious.
Wonderful and Friendly Staff, Very Good Food and Quick
Good food and good margaritas. We had a good time
Food was fire. Had a older guy for the waiter an he was horrible but good food
Always good food! Best burritos in town!
Always an enjoyable night out!!! The food is always amazing. The staff is so friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your satisfied. We have a bigger family and it doesnt break us to go out more than fairly priced!!!
Always delicious and also fun. The entire staff is always in a great mood and they interact with the guests and offer a unique experience making it an even better time out for a bite and margaritas!
Excellent food and atmosphere! Bar is awesome!
Typical Mexican Restaurant (but we also had one 🎸 musician singing at our table! Originally booked for 7 pm but walked in at 5pm and Juan astonished us with his service. Spot on! Food was good not exceptional (we are used to true Mexican food in California and Mexico). A very pleasant experience
We went @ 5 & the service was friendly & very fastDrinks were amazing
Great food and great service!!! Will definitely go back!!
Great service good food affordable
This is our go-to place in Akron for many years now! Best salsa on the planet !!
Love this place. The food was excellent. Service was even better. The guy who waited on us was wonderful. I had the shrimp tacos which are wrapped and fried. The shrimp were moist and plump. Delicious. My son had the mango pollo. Starts out sweet ends hot and spicy. Very good. We got there around noon and when we left the place was packed up. That tells you a lot right there. The waiters were hustling and getting the food out quickly. Cant go wrong with Azteca.
3 stars because while food is good, I have NEVER ONCE received all of my takeout order. Every time I check the bag, something is missing. Sometimes I remember to check in the parking lot, but Ive been screwed many times by not realizing I was missing half my meal until I got home.
They was good until they stole an extra tip off my card. I had already gave time $10. They took that then extra $5. And I paid through the owner. I will never eat there after that. Pay attention to your bank statements if you’re paying through card.
Great experience again. Great server along with great food.
I just waited with my 2 children for 20 minutes after being seated for someone to come to the table for drinks or anything because its a restaurant. No one came at all. Several employees walked past us and never stopped. Its not busy either. Finally I just got up and told someone we were leaving for that reason.
Due to the location of this place I was definitely skeptical, but definitely not disappointed.
Great food and our server was polite, prompt and gracious
Store bought tortilla chips are one hundred percent better. Salsa and chips are super lame and generic. Service is very slow and you have to hunt down your waiter if you need anything.
Food quality has definitely gone down over the years. Chips have an oily/greasy aftertaste. Salsa is good. Nachos are most of the time good, but sometimes very greasy.
A fun place to eat with good food and good service
We love this place. They changed their chips and salsa and Id say best move they could have done. Food is always excellent and service is usually excellent except for one waitress. We are regulars that come here about once a week. And we will be eating here again tonight. Great job guys keep up the great service and restaurant
Ordered food for takeout and was told 10-15 minutes, I got there within that time frame and still had to wait another 15-20 minutes, they werent that busy. The food was good but this is the second time in a row it wasnt ready when they said and I had to wait, Im starting to think they dont make the food until you get there even though they tell you a time it will be ready and its not.
Great atmosphere! Great waiters and awesome food.
Not what expect order a lunch menue and it look like vomit
The food and service is AMAZING!! UPDATE!! 2 years later. The service sucked, food came out at different times, no silverware, no napkins, and even the portions got way smaller. NOW WELL BE GOING TO UNCLE TITOS!!
They lost a star tonight.🙄 The new booths look great, but they are uneven and need shimmed up. It wouldnt have been so bad, but the tweeker behind me had tourette syndrome and I needed some Dramamine for my ride during dinner.
Everyone is so nice,food is always fresh and great service always..
The staff is friendly and very helpful. The food is amazing and brought out hot and fast
Great food and fast, friendly service. Laid back atmosphere and good prices.
Amazing food! Great service. Great place
Love Azteca! Many memories here of good food and fun. Love their food and especially the lime margaritas. Always a great experience whether dining in or ordering to go. Fair price for delicious food and drinks and always kind servers.
Great authentic Mexican food and service.
Quality food at a good price. They also didnt hold back on the alcohol for the drinks. All of the wait staff worked as a team to make sure you were taken care of
Been eating here for years. Love the Fast, Friendly service. And the food and atmosphere is Awesome!
This place was highly recommended by many people who live in the area. Weve driven by it many times. No matter what day or time, the place is busy. We finally stopped by for ourselves the other day. The food does not disappoint.
This is a fantastic restaurant! They have a pretty standard menu with good prices, and the atmosphere is great! They also have plenty of room to accommodate large groups, there was a birthday a few tables away from mine and they sung happy birthday and whatnot, so fun! The food is also phenomenal, and they have a pretty good vegetarian menu for those of us who dont eat meat. Try the spinach cheese dip, honestly, spinach is the only thing that could make that stuff better. This is a great place to eat!
Excellent food at very good prices. The service was very good. I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Liked this place till i ordered fajitas and found a black hair inbedded in the chicken 🤢 they remade it for me showed me the other plate and i found ANOTHER hair embedded in it. cant go back did not even offer to take it off the bill or nothing
Great food! Awesome staff!
This was my first time visiting Azteca and I was so excited because I LOVE authentic Mexican food! Sadly, I was tremendously disappointed on several levels. First, our server, although seemingly nice, (everyone greets guests as amigo/a), proved to be ineffective and somewhat distracted. The server failed to give a person in our party fries instead of refried beans, even though I helped clarify the request. Our server also failed to provide water after I asked for some, so I ate my meal without it. I was mostly disappointed because the food was commercialized and not truly authentic. The steak was sub-par, the refried beans tasted like commercial brand canned beans, not homemade. The worst part was the so-called guacamole. It was probably jar guacamole SPREAD, but definitely not guacamole. One thing I expect an authentic Mexican restaurant to provide is handmade guacamole. Extremely disappointed and probably will not return. Please improve your cuisine so that it is truly authentic, amigos!
What a wonderful restaurant! My friend and I were greeted by a warm and friendly face that face belong to a wonderful leader named Daniel. Daniel was happy to see. And even more eager to feed us! He brought us our menus, he brought us our drinks and he very kindly brought us our chips and salsa! Very patiently waited as my friend and I decided what out of the abundance on the menu we wanted to eat first. We each decided on something different and we were not disappointed with our selections. Our meals were very filling, but we made sure to save room for deep fried ice cream! My compliments to the chef and especially to Daniel to making our visit so enjoyable! I definitely recommend this place to everyone who enjoys Mexican food! Everything was fresh and delicious and I will most certainly be coming back!
I havent been here in about 10 years, but the food was really good and my waiter was excellent! I believe his name was Danny or Daniel. I highly recommend their food. The beans were out of this world
I love this place! Much better than any other Mexican restaurant in Akron and surrounding areas. The margaritas are always perfect. The food is seasoned to perfection. Everything has suck great flavor when I go! The guacamole is to DIE for literally lol. Plus, the service staff is AWESOME. They treat you like family every time. Never a bad experience here ❤
Took them almost an hour to seat a party of 7. After being seated we never had a waiter. Had to get up and ask to be waited on. Waitress never came back. Drinks went empty, salsa bowls and chip disappeared still no waitress. Had to get up again and ask to be waited on. Food 40 minutes later showed up barely warm. Worst service experience we have ever had. My food was sent back and I just asked for them to keep it. Only reason for being here was to visit family we havent seen in years.
The food was delicious!! Great service and good prices!!
I come to Azteca often and I always have a good experience! The staff are always friendly and make sure you have everything you need and the food is AMAZING!
The food smelled so good when I picked it up almost stopped to eat in the way home. But the food was prepared excellent and tasted very well and very well portioned.
I love this place. The food is authentic and amazing. Staff is friendly. And their prices are low! Love that this is right around the corner from my neighborhood.
Wrong food for the last four times I’ve been there
If youre looking for reasonably priced Mexican food, and nice staff, this is the place to go. Last time I went there I got vegetarian fajitas and the presentation was good, and it tasted amazing. The atmosphere to the place is a very chill Latin/Mexican vibe. Very nice, I would recommend going here.
I always get the steak and shrimp ! Never , ever get their steak and shrimp ! The absolute worst !! Grissle all through the steak !! No flavor ! Staff was friendly but the food sucks ! They wont be around much longer serving food like this !!
Literally the BEST Mexican I have ever had! My boyfriend and I both got the steak fundido and it was grilled perfectly medium. We have ate at a lot of Mexican restaurants but this food tops them all!! On top of that our server Danny was very pleasant and got us everything we needed! 5 stars!
Food was good but we had to wait and wait and wait. We had to wait for our drinks, as well as ask 3 separate people for more salsa. Ended up having to go the the front desk for the salsa. Didnt get our utensils until 5 mins after we got our food. The waitress just seemed like she was ignoring us too.
I really like this place for lunch.. This time, I wanted a shrimp chimichanga, which I believe Ive had there before.. The waitress told me a shrimp enchilada would be the same thing. They were cold inside, and I didnt notice any cheese. They were not very good at all. The chip salsa was excellent though. Average, because I do usually like their good.
Their Hot and Spicy lunch burrito is excellent.
Great quality food with a nice menu to choose from. The place is pretty cool with their designs embroidered into the tables. They have a nice patio with a good drink selection, so its a great spot to chill outside and have a margarita on a nice day. The place has been packed every time I have been here which makes the parking lot a bit of a nightmare, which is the only reason Im not giving it a 5 star review. Its difficult to find a spot and its a little torn up, which makes it difficult if you have a smaller car.
Food was ok. Waitress couldnt understand anything we said. She brought the check we asked for more chips and a refill on our drinks waited 15 minutes nothing then asked the cashier who was walking around asked him for chips and water and got nothing. Watched a guy who worked there sit down with friends to eat and pulled a huge black hair out of his food. Absolutely terrible service I wasted about half a container of queso all because i couldnt get some chips
Best salsa Ive come across in the area! Food is always good and they dont skimp on the margaritas!
Good food and margaritas too 👍
Loved that I had a place to park a commercial vehicle (semi+trailer). Food (takeout) was reasonably priced and VERY good. Dining appeared to have a good atmosphere as I picked up my order. Highly recommend!
Went to walk in and my mother forgot her muzzle (I mean face mask... their server walked past the door with his mask under his chin then we were immediately and forcibly denied entrance for no masks... politely explained she forgot hers and asked if they had any cheap ones to give and waa cut off and told no (before the Spaniard could even hear our request) and were told they sell them across the street at the gas station. As we pointed out their staff not abiding and told them no, well pass, we were basically ran out of there being screamed at. Hes lucky I didnt knock his remaining teeth out. Support Akron owned and dont go here
Hi..Normally good..Azteca use to be My #one resturant..The sause on the burrito was more like a pasta sause..but the worse part was recieving a marquarita in a water glass..just not the same..
Fast and friendly even though it was almost closing.
I dont like the food as much as I used to. The chicken in the burrito was bland. The cheese dip tasted spoiled. The service was great.
Used to be good food, they have gotten more popular however their cooking has gotten worse. Last time I went there I confirmed the order at the counter and not only did they not give me my change back ( it was only a dollar or so so I didnt mind) i got home and my wife and I got nothing that we ordered. We paid for extra items and did not get those either.
Our waiter was friendly. The food was fresh and flavorful. They share parking with a large truck lot so plenty of room just off the exit for truck drivers.
I love this place! Best bang for your buck by far.
1st time we have been there since Covid-19. They have done a nice job of social distancing tables. Same great food we are used to. Reasonably priced as well.
Quaint and cozy. Great food. Good service. Our whole family enjoyed this meal. The only problem was that we couldnt eat it all lol.
Great service, great food
The food/price was great but the service was horrible. Waited way too long to place our order for the amount of staff that was just standing around. Then she served our appetizer with our entrees...... the point of an appetizer is to hold you over until your meal arrives. I had to ask several times for a single drink/chip refill and the waitress never once checked on us during the meal. If the place was packed to the wall and understaffed I would understand but she seemed more interested at glancing at her cellphone and chatting with co workers than earning a better tip. Im on the fence on if I would eat there again or not.
Food was not as good as it usually is.
Top notch place good food and very friendly..
The queso was good, the guacamole was very thin, seemed like it came from a bag. I ordered the chicken chorizo and it tasted good. Asked if I could add shrimp to my order and was just simply told no. Service was quick though. I say it was good, but not great.
Good Mexican food reasonably priced men waiters are on point! I eat in with friends and carry out as well. Quick service no longer than a 10-15 minute wait ever. I love their yum yum sauce!I usually order the enchilada dinner and fried ice cream for dessert if I have any room left, it’s a great treat not too sweet. All these years I’ve been going to Azteca, I thought it was Carmel topping on the fried ice cream till one unfriendly waitress tried to argue her point that it was honey topping. That has been the only negative experience I’ve ever had at Azteca. Atmosphere good, Quick seevice, Reasonable price!Thee Best Mexican Restaurant in Akron. 😊
Service was slow today and they werent that busy. It was blamed on the fact that there were patrons on the patio and the server was having to do both the patio and the dining room. There were only 4 people on the patio. Got our chips and salsa quickly. Had to wait a long time for server to take our soda order and then we didnt get them. Placed our order at the same time as our drinks. A 2nd person who was not a server asked if we had placed our drink order and we said yes. He went to get them. A 3rd person who might have been the Mgr asked if we had placed our drink order just as person #2 brought them to us. Then our food arrived. I had chicken enchiladas which I thought were a little dry as was the rice. Tasted fine otherwise. Was supposed to get guacamole salad and ended up with sour cream salad without guacamole. Due to our long wait, we got our sodas free. Have been there before with better service and better food.
The food was exceptional today. Service was wonderful. Price was great, for the portion size. We have enough leftovers, for another meal!
Do not order to go from this place. I have had my order messed up 3 times now and they charge you for stuff you didnt even get or ask for. I even called to talk to the manager and she hung up on me and when I call back to ask why she would hang up. She said sorry we are busy and I do not have time to talk and hung up again. This is not the kind of business I will ever spend my money at ever again. She should be fired for treating a customer that way.
I walked in and placed an order for Doordash, the food was ready in about 7 minutes. I cant believe how fast the service was when I showed up. I would highly recommend this place for dine in and carry out. Also, I commend the mariachi music player, he was playing solo and I loved it!
Wasnt happy with my food yesterday. Ordered a Taco Salad and the shell was burnt, the steak was tuff. The staff was awesome.
Always a great experience at azteca, great food and great drinks. Best Mexican restaurant around
Great food with friendly service. The place was a bit warm but overall good experience. Ive been several times and will go again.
This was my first time dining at this restaurant. My daughter and I were beyond pleased. The food was amazing and the staff was very attentive and hospitable. I highly recommend this place. We will be returning.
Im from Cleveland not necessarily from general area here. So usually when Im in the Akron area I am clueless as to where to grab something to eat. Now, remember I stopped in here figuring that if looks like most other Mexican restaurants and was blown away by the reception courtesy service throughout the night and the food was beyond belief. We could not have done anything better than they did. Wish I could be more often.
Good place, affordable food!
Always great food. Big shout out to Simone for his excellent service!!
I ordered that chicken shrimp and steak fajita it was great wait staff was excellent
This is only my second time coming here, but it will probably be my last. The service could have been a bit better if we received a courtesy check up (asking for refills, if the food tasted okay, etc.) The food was on point! The taste was definitely not lacking. I give my rating of 3 due to the combination of horrible drinks (Michelada) and service. I would recommend for a good local Mexican restaurant.
Great Mexican food at a reasonable price.Gets very busy in the afternoon.
We drove in from Cleveland for Fathers day. Azteca definitely was put on our list for favorite Mexican restaurants. Our server was AWSOME!! WE WILL BE BACK SOON‼️
Excellent service and excellent food! We had a party of 12 and everyone left with full bellies and smiles on their faces.
I have been going here for a couple years now and the food is always delicious and the service is friendly.
Food was too spicy even for my standards salsa too spicy and never got my guacamole. Waiter mixed up my check. This place isnt worth the 50 minute drive I had to endure
The food here is fantastic, the margaritas are delicious. The workers are friendly and welcoming! There is even a guitar player that walks around and plays beautiful songs for you at your table. I will definitely be coming back here soon!
This place is better than I expected. I was in Akron for one night and my colleague and I decided to go here. The service is very friendly, the food is palatable. The menu follows the usual path for American Mexican restaurants, which sidesteps a lot of the nicest aspects of Mexican cooking, but one must play to ones audience. I had the Chile Colorado which was reasonably tasty.
First time there and the beef tacos were delicious! The service was great and the restaurant was very clean. I will be returning in the near future.
Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Their prices are unbelievably low for authentic Mexican food. And the MARGARITAS. You seriously can not find margaritas this good/strong for the price anywhere else in Ohio. Staff is always extremely friendly, every single time. Food comes out within 4 minutes sometimes, its ridiculously fast. I honestly can no say one bad thing about this place, I go here at least 3 times a month.
I was born and raised in Arizona. This restaurant would not cut in in the southwest. For the NE Ohio area, Azteca is one of the better Mexican places. The service is quick. The salsa is good. Great value and selection of lunch menu. Easy to get a lunch under 9 dollars. The inside is always clean.
For Akron Oh, this place is great. Very attentive staff, great food, at a good value. Lunch specials are 5-7$ and served quick. Margaritas were tasty and good. Good value for good service and product. Also, great wooden based decor, very warm. Try it.
Awesome service and delicious food. Loved it! Will be going again.
Great food. Friendly service.
Delicious, ALWAYS. We keep trying new things and everything is so good. Everyone is so nice too.
Clean, family friendly. Food was good. Great wait staff.
We had a unexpected party of 19 they were able to accommodate us and we had good service considered the short notice in the number of people
This is my favorite place to get tacos in Akron! On busy nights, it can be a bit of a wait to get a table, but its worth it. Everything Ive gotten there has been delicious and the servers are very friendly. The restaurant was recently remodeled and the interior is very nice! I would definitely recommend going on an off night so that its not as busy.
AMAZING FOOD!!!! If you are looking for amazing Mexican food, heres the place to go! Great service and great food!! The server we had was awesome!!! He was the sweetest and made my 4 yr old bro laugh!!! His name was Mollo and if you have had him, you know how great he is. We also had many other waiters come check on us while we were eating,asking how the food was.Good job, Azteca!!!
This is my local go to spot.Excellent food, service and price!!This family is such an integral part of our neighborhood. Our kids have grown up together and its an honor to be able to support them as the support us with their awesome product!!!❤🌮🍺
I went here on a Saturday evening and the most enjoyable part was the live music. The food was good, not great. The service was just short of being bad. This is definitely a place where your children of all ages are welcome.
Very friendly employees! Love the service. Food is good. Chips are still a little greasy! Margaritas are great!! They have updated there whole restraunt! Love the heaters! Makes going there as a family fun!!
Have been going to Azteca for many years and, since their great interior remodeling it has become the go-to Mexican restaurant for my wife and I. HOWEVER, several recent visits have resulted in frustration, mostly regarding drink orders. 1) We ALWAYS order medium size gold margaritas but have received different sized glasses on more than one occasion. 2) On our last visit we ordered our usual medium gold that came in a smaller glass (no way it was 16 ounces as advertised) and also didnt taste right. We questioned the waiter about drink size. We had had much larger glasses on our previous visit. Also, did the recipe for gold margaritas change or were we served flavored drinks by mistake? On one occasion we were told that they had to use different style glasses than the normal medium because they were busy. 3) Although our most recent visit was on a Friday, it was early (5 p.m.), and the restaurant was only one-third full, but our waiter seemed to be in a hurry for us to order and leave (It was way too early for him to worry about table turnover). We usually like to enjoy our drinks, chips, and salsa for a while before we order our entree, but always order a second round of drinks with our entree. Maybe the waiter thought because we are in our 60s and have gray hair we wouldnt spend money or leave a decent tip.Next time I come in, I guess we will have to order our drinks at the bar ourselves, and question the bartender and/or management as to any inconsistency regarding glass size. If I have to do that a second time we will not be coming back.
I used to love this place and it hasnt been the same lately. The food is still good, but not as good. Just based on one visit lately, but our service wasnt very good at all. Were definitely giving it another chance soon! Hopefully last time was a fluke.
We had a really big party, so it may be hard to judge, but Ill do my best. The service was ok.The server made a rude comment about me being on my phone. I was putting something in my calendar. Sorry.The food was ok.We had twenty people, and they tried to split us up. After ten minutes of uncomfortable debate, they took us to the back room and sat us all together. After all that, Im not sure why they kept telling us we couldnt all sit together. Weird. I have no desire to got back.
Plenty of parking for both cars and 18-wheelers. I was seated immediately. Chips and Salsa provided free within 30 seconds of sitting down. Food was delivered very quick. I got an enchilada plate with 5 different enchiladas and an appetizer of bean dip topped with cheese. Both were beyond reproach. My waitress made me feel welcome and I will eat here every time I am in town.
Service was marginal at best even though we called ahead and told them we were doing a dinner party for 22. My food was AWFUL! Cheese enchiladas were swimming in sauce, the sauce was super salty and the enchiladas were chewy. Needless to say I sent them back and told them I wanted nothing else. Two of our girls ordered dinners that they never brought out. We had to ask about them and have them made again. Wont go back.
Great food and great service. The margarita was oddly lime green but good all the same. Cant wait to come back.
Am slightly disappointed honestly, I had high hopes and have been wanting to try Azteca ever since I first passed their restaurant years ago.I feel like I couldve gotten better quality, as well as quantity, from Taco Bell.I got the pork carnitas, which is usually my favorite. Their carnitas arrived (had to use door dash, thanks Covid) lukewarm even though the restaurant is less than a mile from me. They were gristly and tough and a lot of fatty pieces. I got a small amount of rice and beans, and three crusty soft flour tortillas. My eight year old got a cheese quesadilla, which was also cold and paper thin, with cold rice. She is now complaining of a stomach ache and cant stop pooping.My husband has yet to come home to eat his enchiladas rancheros, but I will update when he does.Overall, I feel like I wasted $40 and an hour waiting for a disappointing meal that wasnt very enjoyable.
This is a nice restaurant frequented usually by local employees (read: mostly Goodyear) and is great place to grab lunch real quick. Their service is incredibly fast, filling portions, very reasonably priced and of course bottomless free chips and salsa. They can handle small to big groups and have always found the staff friendly.Restaurant is pretty tasty but be reminded that this is American Mexican. So there is no short supply of cheese in your food. Not that I am complaining.
You wont be disappointed in the food. They do business lunches and groups (6 to 10) very well. Service always fast and helpful. This is one of my top 4 Mexican restaurants in Akron area, the only detractor is the age of the building and the environment. Again not back, nothing to stay away from, but their business is serving Mexican food to their customers and they do that well. Lunch is the majority of times I have been there.
Azteca used to be my favorite restaurant now I would never even step foot in there this is the third owner now and whoever the cook is is just not good at all I always get the Mexican stew used to be one of their top sellers it has no flavor at all now used to be one of my favorites but cannot go there anymore the cook is no good at all
Food was good. Huge portions. Waiter didnt come back to check often and things we need took forever to get. Other staff didnt seem to notice or care that we were looking around for assistance. Will try it again because of food for sure.
Great food, great service everytime. Everytime I try a new place i always wish i went to Azteca. The best!!
This was the freshest most delicious tasty meal I have ever recieved here. Vegetarian fajitas. Super friendly service.
Food is always GREAT. Very flavorful.. Great plate presentation. The drinks are always made correctly and the staff are so enthusiastic. They are just happy to see you Everytime.
This is my favorite Mexican place in the city but then again doesnt everyone say that about the restaurant by their house? Service is top notch they keep upgrading the decor and it is very attractive inside and out now. The food is delicious. Their queso dip is the best one around.
Everyone that likes Mexican food always has their own favorite restaurant they like to go to. Despite the fact that most Mexican restaurants offer the same menu choices, each restaurant has their own unique twist to how they prepare their food. When I visit friends in Akron, Azteca is my favorite place to go for Mexican. The place has a huge menu with good food at decent prices. I really like their chicken tortilla soup. Thanks to the recommendation from a dear friend of mine, I order up a side of the bean and cheese dip along with some of their delicious salsa and add it to the soup. Dont get me wrong, the soup is great by itself but becomes even more delicious with the add-ins. Fresh tortilla chips and salsa while you wait for your food is standard here. The restaurant went through a makeover around the end of the year 2017 beginning of 2018 that gives the place of fresh new look inside along with a beautiful bar and TVs. Outdoor patio seating is also available. The restaurant also features a back room if you happen to have a desire to hold an event there.
Best mexican food best waiter with no wait time. Family friendly , great place to unwind. Great bar selection too!
Worst Tilapia ever had..
Staff was super friendly. Food was excellent. Locals know this place is a very good spot. Those in from out of town, definitely a place I recommend trying.
A little over a year ago I had a great experience here and gave a 5 star review. Today Im changing my review due to inconsistency. I frequent this restaurant, 10 or more times a year I come here and this may be my last due to inconsistency.I order the burrito Michoacan which has always come with six shrimp on the top, today on my first fathers day as a father I got 5 shrimp. May seem petty but in my mind consistency is what makes a good restaurant.I also got served a glass with a broken rim for my margaritas....like cmon how do you not notice that the glass you gave me is dangerously broken and could cut your patrons wide open? If the dishwasher didnt catch it the server should have or whomever dips the glass in the salt should have noticed.Service wasnt God awful but certainly not as good as I had in my first few experiences here. Ive noticed when they seat you in the back room rather than the main room in front you kind of get slept on. We closed our menus and set them in a pile waiting patiently for our orders to be taken.To top it all off, I was sent an email stating that for fathers day I could get money knocked off my bill, however I needed to print the coupon and I dont own a printer so I did not receive a discount for fathers day. Last time youll see me in there dropping fifty dollars.
I enjoy going to Mexican restaurants, and this was no exception.From the start the service was very good, with smiles and warm charm.Everything was prompt, and they frequently checked on me to make sure I was accommodated.As a vegetarian I am always looking at the Vegetarian and Vegan options, with Vegan my first choice followed by vegetarian if theres better options.Due to having a workflow happening (this was a work lunch for me) I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, since this is normally a safe option at most Mexican restaurants for guys on the go like myself.I did notice that there were not a great many vegan options, however there were a decent number of vegetarian options, and the vegetarian serving was good, I certainly did not leave hungry.The decor was also quite nice and pleasing to the eyes, feeling like a combination of modern and classic Hispanic.I would certainly come back and can recommend it to anyone interested.
This place used to be my go to for good Mexican food. I think they got lazy with their success because it hasnt been the same in a few years. I waited 30 minutes for them to hand me my food that had been sitting in the back getting soggy. Do not recommend anymore.
The semi parking was free which was great for me. The salsa and queso I got were extremely spicy and difficult to enjoy. The nachos I had order were extremely overpriced for what little shrimp, streak, and chicken I did get in there. Hopefully next time will be a better experience
This was the first time I had visited and was pleasantly surprised on how good this place is! Good, fast, friendly service. Will definitely be back.
I went here with my girlfriend. I had been here before years ago and wanted to re-experience the time. She really liked it and had a great time. The food and service was excellent and looking forward to goin back again some time. Thank you
The owners are so nice and go above and beyond to make your dining experience amazing.
The food is always great, and the staff is always friendly. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Akron!
The food was great ! But when me and my fiance went last week ,we saw some nets was flying in the air !! But anyhow, we did not make a big deal.. That food was served very quickly, was great and we enjoyed it..hour before closing, they decide to clean up a bar with chlorine.. I have asthma, my breathing was going off and my fiance eyes was start burning.. When my fiance went and address this too Azteca owner he rudely say I dont smell anything and walk away. 😣😖 When we confront on front of him two waitress they said, YES they are cleaning with chlorine and other chemicals bar.. The Owner say oh well.. I was completely shocked the way we was treated..All I can say Oh well dude, you just lost regular costumers who been coming all the time, see ya later alligator !! you will not gonna see our face again in your place for being treated like POS they could have wait when few of us was finished eating and then start cleaning with the harsh chemicals.. BYE BYE ✌
Great pricing for really great amounts of food. Their Margaritas are amazing! Amazing customer service and amazing food. My boyfriend took me here for our anniversary and it was awesome all around.
Fast service and Great Food!!!
Ive only ever ordered out, but the food is always amazing. The staff are so friendly, It feels like you are a friend when you walk in the door. Higly reccomend. My very favorite place for tacos.
Always one of my favorite restaurants to go to. The best queso ever.
They have recently gone down in quality since quarantine they no longer seem to add seasonings to their meat.

2022-06-12Great place with reasonable prices. The staff has always been polite & accomidating. The food is fresh and full of flavor. I am very picky with rating any place with 5 stars. This rating is my reassurance to you that you 100% will not be disappointed here.

2022-05-07I wanted to say that when my hubby and I went the other day they were very busy. Ive never seen waitstaff (and I imagine the cooks also) hustle like that. They even had our entree ready before we anticipated it would be ready. Delicious combination fajitas for 2. Yummy! Even if the food hadnt been excellent I would still give them 5 stars for service.

2021-05-04Main Entree was delish! Salsa was great, but chips lacked any sort of taste. Friendly and efficient staff. It was 80 degrees the day we went and they had no A/C on so it was less than desirable dining inside. We made it work with their pitcher of margaritas.

2022-07-20Good when compared to its peers. Food is delicious, service has consistently been good, and the prices are fair. Location is convenient but isnt exactly welcoming (main road, area lacks character).I go here about 8 times a year and will continue to do so.

2022-06-05Very friendly atmosphere. Food was excellent. I was surprised to see you had to pay for chips and salsa, only because Ive seen it as a complementary appetizer at other restaurants. Did not affect the rating. Will be back.

2022-05-21Our server was speedy and attentive, so they get two stars. Our seat had crumbs from the previous guests.. no biggie.. but the table was sticky. Asked for a booster seat for our child, it was covered in crumbs. I wiped it with a wipe from our stash and the wipe was black. Finally got to open the menu and the menu had food spilled in it that hadnt been wiped off. Our food was super quick! But I have to say I was afraid to eat it. Naturally, like any sketched out northeast Ohioan at a restaurant, I ate it anyway as to not be rude, haha. Unfortunately, its now later in the day and maybe its coincidence but now were having some stomach problems. This place needs a solid scrubbing from top to bottom. I definitely dont recommended this restaurant.

2022-05-21Ive been here at least 5 different times, and anything I tried was DELICIOUS! I never have to worry about adding any spices as it tastes amazing everything I go. Prices are very reasonable too. Best salsa and chips Ive had at any mexican restaurant too!

2022-04-19I was considering leaving only two stars, but the food was so good I must bump up to three. However - and this is important - there are very good reasons the experience cannot be rated higher.One: The tortilla chips/salsa, which can and will be used as an easy first impression because you will have them at every Mexican or Tex/Mex restaurant you will dine at. The tortilla chips here are dry and unsalted, making them simply a delivery mechanism for the salsa. The salsa was surprisingly spicy with a good flavor, but very watery. We had to ask a few times for a second bowl for our party as some of us wanted to add salt.Two: We were dying for strong drinks after a hard day, so I asked specifically if the margaritas were strong. Our server indicated that hed make them strong. I ordered a pitcher, and when asked Gold? replied YES PLEASE. I would be shocked if there was more than one shot of tequila in the entire pitcher. Not one of us felt even a slight buzz, which is completely unacceptable for a $22 pitcher. The menu price for a pitcher said $21.75, so the Gold may have resulted in an even higher cost. For basically fruit juice. :(Three: It took 20 mins for our server to come back to take our order, we were actively looking around wondering if hed gone on break or something. Asked again for a second bowl of salsa, and napkins.Four: We were seated in a booth by a bumped-out bay window, which featured some dead-looking plants, dust, and cobwebs. Not what youd consider an appealing atmosphere.In closing - when our food came, it was outstanding. One of the best chicken fajita quesadillas Ive ever had. The rice served with it was flavorful, and a generous helping of sour cream was also provided.Im still stung from paying $22 for a pitcher of iced fruit juice though.

2022-05-11Convenience or quality? I chose convenience tonight when I decided to stop at Azteca. Seems like the food comes out on a hot plate full of cheese. Disappointing at best and at least tasteless food. Salsa bland, taco was thrown together and so was the enchilada. Good beer, cold and tasty. I just remembered why I stopped coming here.
