I love coming to Azteca for brunch on a Sunday. When you walk in it's beautifully decorated and everyone is busy working non stop. We were seated immediately and our server was really nice, helpful, and answered all our questions. In our group we had 10 people and a lot of food was ordered but everything's came out perfect. All the food was great and hot, my only dislike of the whole meal was the table side guacamole. It was fresh but it was lacking flavor and definitely needed more lime. The margaritas are bogo on Sunday's as well and come in many different flavors, for the size I find it to be a great value. Overall everything is good and service is great. read more

Went to have a post birthday celebration and it was outstanding. We had a lake front view at about 630 so it was nice outside. Our waitress was nice and attentive making food accommodations and recommendations since I have a good allergy. I didn't really like the black beans but the fajita quesadillas were amazing!! read more

My girl and I went here after my trip from Texas and had dinner with her family. The shrimp tacos are bomb!!! Love it!! Great portion and drinks are really good!! Went here second time to chat with my girl. Customer service is great, our servers are accommodating and friendly. I love seating outside dinning to see the lake much quieter. The inside looks great also but kinda loud. Place is clean and great decorations. I'll come back for more food. read more

Elegant authentic Mexican cuisine with an eclectic ambiance. Warm and friendly staff and great selection of vegetarian options. Thank you

I love this place, especially when it's nice enough to sit outside. The service is always really good and I always get the Molcajete. It's a massive food tower in a bed of cheese and dark creamy sauce. It is so delicious and I always have some left over to take home for the next day. It is served with rice and tortillas to make your own little taco, and it is so satisfying. Try it with a glass of their equally delicious sangria read more

Love having this restaurant close by! The food is always delicious. I've never had something that I didn't like!! The wait staff is always attentive and incredibly friendly. It can get loud in there when they are really busy and on the weekends for brunch they usually have a Mariachi band! They also have a covered outdoor area which is dog friendly!! Love going here for good food and drinks! read more

Azteca D'Oro Mexican Restaurant Lake Nona - Carne Asada Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Service was great and the food was very good. We did the table side guacamole which was a little expensive considering as a vegan the bacon and queso had to be removed. I wish they would have discounted it without those items as those are expensive ingredients. Should be a separate up charge to make it cheesy and meaty if someone wants to make their guacamole that way. It was very delicious regardless. I got the vegetable burrito without any dairy products and it had tons of vegetables with a delicious verde salsa. We were sat next to a table of 35 people who screamed and yelled and clapped every few minutes to celebrate a birthday which good for them but it took away from our dining experience. I felt like I had gone to a concert and needed ear buds to block out the noise. I had to yell my order to the server and to talk to my friend we had to yell. Something like that should be booked far away from other people dining. It was the worst noise I have ever experienced in a restaurant when we just went to catch up after not seeing each other for about a year. Something for the manager and host team to think about. Maybe large parties that feel like they are having their own private party should have to pay a fee to be there after hours so they can scream and yell without impacting others dining experience. Just a thought. Food was good. This was my first experience. Not sure I would go back unless there was a guarantee for normal noise levels. I lost my voice from trying to talk to my friend at dinner kind of something else. read more

The food and drinks were very good, but pricey. The atmosphere is very nice and feels high-end which explains the pricing a bit. The service was pretty lackluster. Everyone was very nice but service was slow. Drinks took a while to come out and I was never given the last drink I ordered. My wife's food came out nearly 15 minutes after everyone else's so we think it was forgotten at first. We had a larger party so that is a factor. We would still give this place another chance due to the food and atmosphere. read more

I've tried many Mexican pleases nearby, NOTHING COMPARES! This Azteca location has become one of my favorite go-to spots, the servers are starting to recognize me (LOL)! Chips and drinks are always topped off, servers are great all around. Music is always on it seems like whenever we go, I always try to get outdoor seating when I can since it's next to a lake. They also got the best table side fresh guacamole compared to all the other places I've been! I always either get the carne asada, salad, or steak quesadilla, nothing disappoints. I will always recommend this location to friends that stay/live nearby! read more

Sadly, I was disappointed. I had high hopes considering the restaurant itself was beautiful, and the view outside was gorgeous. It took a while to get recognition from the staff and to be seated. On top of that, our waitress, although nice, was barely seen. However; the food is what really disappointed me. The beans tasted like plain beans in water... no flavor whatsoever. The rice was ehh. Lacked flavor but almost had a jalapeño taste?? Not the best. The tacos were also mid. Despite the onion and cilantro, the meat didn't have much flavor to it either. Very bland. The consomé for the tacos was thick. Normally with birria tacos I have had a more brothy/liquidy type of sauce. I will say, the salsa that came with the chips was by far my favorite part of the meal. The salsa was very good. We also ordered plain queso, and that too, almost had some sort of jalapeño taste to it. Not a bad thing, just different. For two people who both ordered birria tacos, each had a margarita, and one side of queso, cost around $94. read more

What a fun experience. If there was more seating, it would've been nice to sit outside to enjoy to enjoy the view, but there wasn't enough seating to accommodate a table of 5. They have a gratuity charge of 20% for tables of 6 or more. The Arroz con Mariscos was incredible! It was a special on their menu and I was impressed by the seafood. I have a shrimp allergy and they were able to put it to the side. The Mexican rice could've used a little more flavor, but the soup base of the dish made it incredibly savory. The portions were huge and overall the table loved their food. The salsa was one of the best salsas we've had at a Mexican restaurant. It had a small kick that gave it the perfect flavor. We had been offered for a spicier salsa and that was also fantastic. They refilled our chips quickly! read more

Good food, great margaritas! Easy to get seated and often not crazy busy. Service is fast and the staff is very accommodating and helpful. My favorite starter is the tamales, chips and salsa. Typically get Carne Asada and Shrimp tacos. The steak is tender and flavorful. Definitely grab your girls, get a seat at the bar and love your best life! If there mariachi band is playing even better!! read more

Recently ordered 3 of their tortilla soups to go. The chicken in the soup was small pieces of cubed grilled chicken rather than the pulled chicken I'm used to. It also only came with tortilla strips, avocado, chicken and broth. Most restaurants offer this soup with rice. It's also pretty spicy. While service was kind and quick, the soup did not meet expectations. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Nice outdoor area. read more

I must say this look like a really classy restaurant when we walked in with a huge beautiful bar. We were seated and in about five minutes later, our server appeared it took our drinks and then took a while to come back at this time of day. there wasn't really a lot of people on our side of the restaurant. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I have to say that and I definitely will come back but the reason I gave this review not five stars was because of the service there were times we could not find our server and has a call on another server at a neighboring table to help us or to get our server Other than that great time I recommend anyone coming by and trying this place. Hopefully you don't get the same server we had! Also, I needed to note that this bar has almost every single kind of tequila and there has been a tequila that I have been looking for for two years and they had it. It is called San Matias. You know I had to have a margarita with it and that was delicious. read more

Snagged some take out for my mom's birthday. Never disappointed with this place. Even the take out is delicious! Some places you go, the food is good but not as good when taken home, this one is the exception. Super fresh, all the aspects of a sit down meal packed up nicely for at home enjoyment. Super easy pickup and pay at the host stand. Called in to order and was ready in less than 20 mins. read more

Great food, fun atmosphere. This is one of our favorite places to eat when we are in town.

Went on a Friday night with my best friend and boyfriend we were in the mood for Mexican food. Lake Nona is a beautiful area and the inside of the restaurant is nice. Our waiter Jared was nice and very entertaining checked on us frequently and serviced us very well. There is not a way to make reservations, I would suggest going early because parking is crazy late in the Eve time. We had to valet which complimentary. We sat in the back corner, the restaurant was busy as expected on a Friday night. It was loud as well apparently it's like that on Friday and Sunday which they had Mariachi Band. They also have live music during week and they are not as loud. Now the food and drinks were great. Came out fast! The birria tacos were good. Coconut shrimp very crisp. I had a watermelon margarita. read more

Ehhhh. I expected better quality food here and more authentic mexican staff like Winter Haven location. Lake Nona is a upscale town. SO expectations are somewhat high here. The view of the restaurant is gorgeous. Seated nearby the outdoor near the lake but we were still considered inside. The noise level is not that bad even after the 5 o'clock crowd hits. Staff here are mostly non mexican but in the hispanic descent. Service here sucked. They serve happy hour only for drinks. No special on appetizers. Ordered the following: Birria tacos with refried beans and mexican rice - These were served open faced. The au jus was served on the side. I hear these were ok. Horchata - This drink was not served with cinnamon. That was another miss! Chicken Macho Burrito - I requested La Crema Sauce with this. When it was served the burrito was larger than the one I got from winter haven. However the taste of the chicken was not as flavorful as the one in winter haven. I can only eat half of this plate when it is served to me. Fried Oreo Ice Cream - This was not FRIED. It was a scoop of ice cream that was rolled on crushed oreos. Then was served in a plate with chocolate drizzle and fried flour tortillas. They had 2 options... vanilla or oreo - I think if we got the vanilla it would have been fried? So it was sliced in 4's when it was served not balled up like the vanilla one. It pretty much tasted like oreo ice cream or cookie and cream ice cream. Churros - This was about 5-6 pcs of pinky length churros with caramel drizzle served with a tortilla bowl and vanilla ice cream. Drink service was ok we had to flag down the server a few times for things we needed. Again I expected more from this location but not impressed with the service and the authencity of the food here. read more

We have ate at the restaurant at UCF and it has always been great! The lake Nona one was horrible. Service was good, but the food was not good at all. Quesadilla was watery to the point the tortilla was saggy, the burger tasted like 8th grade middle school cafeteria, the taquitos were very cooked. 200 dollars wasted. Will never return to have dinner again. read more

Overall, I was very impressed with Azteca D'oro! Five Stars ++! Delicious chips & salsa on the house. They had really good fresh brewed iced tea! Valerie our server was fantastic & kept our drinks filled and made sure we were well taken care of. We were there during the lunch menu timeframe. I was surprised to see the lunch special portions were very generous. I was too excited to eat & missed taking a photo of our food. I had their 2 choice combo with a chicken enchilada & tostada! We were just visiting the area, but I will keep this place on my list for when we visit again. read more

Azteca has a beautiful ambience. It excudes a relaxing sense of class due to the interior decor and the lake in back. Our server was also attentive and helpful, However, the quality of the food and the price leave much to be desired. I found the fajitas quesadilla to be flat in flavor, as was the guacamole and rice and beans. The queso dip was the one bright spot. I found myself disappointed with the mismatch between a wonderful atmosphere and mediocre food. read more

This is one of my favorite places to come for authentic Mexican food. The service is always top notch and the servers are super knowledgeable about the menu and what's good to eat that day. The drinks are always fantastic and you can't beat the giant $10 mojito with a TON of options for flavors. It's normally fairly noisy in there, which I love, as it brings a ton of great atmosphere to your dining experience. I can't remember when I didn't see a large party celebrating something within the dining area. Their outside seating is some of the best in the area as it sits directly on a nice lake with a fountain in the center of it. If you are going for the first time, I would recommend their Molcajete - it is packed full of steak, chicken, and seafood and I would recommend this to share with someone as it's HUGE. read more

Horrible service .They racial profile you here and think all black people look the same . I ordered food over the phone my husband went to pick it up .He paid for it and the girl in the front didn't give him the food .Then she said my husband left with the food .Then when he said something about it then all of a sudden they we working on the food ..My husband called me and told me what happened so i can get the money back .The lady that answered the phone didn't want to get the manager or refund my money .she hung up and I called on three different phones and as soon as I started talking she hung up .Please do not go to this place it's much better Mexican restaurants around here read more

Finally redeemed!! The server Gianni is amazing he hooked us up. Love the lake side views especially as the weather is getting better. Things on the menu has changed and quality is better.

No ordenes carne asada... es tan finita y sin sabor que la experiencia es como comer papel.

I really walk into this place with an open mind. But what a let down. Nice place, nice area, but bad food. My son ordered the birria tacos and I ordered the pollo adobado tacos which looked like fake chicken. Neither had any flavor what so ever. Not the tacos, not the rice, not the beans. Everything was super bland. No flavor at all. Where's the garlic, the cilantro, the gusto of Mexico??? Not at this place! Very disappointed! Will not be returning. Rocco Tacos or Don Julio's is way better than this place. read more

Man, lemme tell you somethin'... there is something special about the Shrimp & Tequila Chowder. Azteca D' Oro's got some pretty good food, but there was never anything that caused me to crave another visit. That was until I had the chowder! We came here for a team lunch, and I'd heard the Birria Tacos were good, so I decided to give them a try. The tacos were very good, as are Azteca's chimichangas. But they both paled in comparison to the chowder. If I'd known it would be that good, I'd have skipped the tacos and ordered a whole bowl. Maybe two. Don't let the tequila scare you, it's just there for flavor. There is a good amount of spiciness if that's a concern for you. Bahama Breeze may have just been replaced as my favorite chowder spot! read more

Decided to give Azteca a second chance tonight because it seems to be popular, but shame on me. Ordered the steak fajitas again thinking maybe the first time had been a fluke, but despite ordering medium rare they again brought me well done ... dry and bland as desert sand, and tough as leather. I think Chili's steak fajitas have more flavor than these, which is saying something. Mentioned it to the waitress as we were closing out because anyone with eyes could see that it was well done so curious why they even ask 'how would you like it cooked?.' She said that she had asked the kitchen staff about it when it came out but that they told her, "it's fine; they'll be fine." When it wasn't "fine," they only offered to make me another one as if I would trust them to make it a third time when they didn't care to make it properly the first two times - no thank you. Did they offer a discount? Nope. I will say that my mom said her tacos were good, but then again she eats rotten bananas and clementines, so do with that what you will. Sucks because I really had high hopes that they were having an 'off' night the first time, but two strikes you're out and Azteca has been removed from our list of local restaurants. read more
