Came here for lunch w some coworkers. From the long history of failed health department inspections, to the legal troubles they've gotten into with the IRS, to multiple subpar visits in the past, it's been YEARS since I've been here. It's not my first choice for anything in the area and definitely not my first choice when I want Mexican. The thing about the greater Akron area and their Mexican food is that it's really not that good. All of these restaurants serve the same 'mexican'. If you want REAL Mexican food, try Carnitas and Tacos on Canton road in Ellet. Or head up to Cleveland where there are plenty of authentic Mexican food options that will absolutely blow your mind and make your taste buds go insane. One taste of truly great Mexican/Puerto Rican/Latin/Cuban food will probably change your entire perspective on the Akron food scene. For this particular visit, the salsa was good and the service was friendly and was reasonably cheap for lunch. They weren't that busy so the food came out pretty quickly and seemed freshly prepared. read more

Just got a takeout dinner. I had a craving for Mexican. It was hot, smelled scrumptious and it is! I have. Enough for two more meals, prices are very reasonable! read more

Azteca has been my go-to for years, and it never disappoints. The food is always amazing, with great flavor and generous portions at a good price. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, and the whole place feels like home. A true gem that I'll keep coming back to! read more

Recently revisited Azteca, a long-standing Mexican restaurant. Exceptional ambiance with warm service, they have remodeled since I was there last adding a beautiful outdoor patio and branded booths. Enjoyed frozen margaritas , fundido (chorizo + queso), perfectly cooked steak fajitas and shrimp tacos. A must-try authentic experience. read more

I had their super nachos. But, what really pissed me off is the beef and chicken is canned meat. A mexican restaurant using canned meat is disgraceful to the heritage. read more

The place was infested with gnats. Bugs were everywhere. I told a staff member that something must be rotting in the restaurant. I wouldn't eat a tortilla chip from this place. I highly do not recommend. read more

Great food. Menu is large but prices are decent. Great service. Just visiting but will come back again. Gracias! read more

Great mexican restaurant in Akron! We constantly stop in for drinks and bites to eat and are pleasantly surprised every time! The queso is absolutely delicious!! My go to margarita is the raspberry marg on the rocks! The strawberry is good too but sometimes too sweet for my taste! The workers are tentative and quick! It is family owned business and we have enjoyed getting to know every member! there is lots of seatings for large groups and they accommodate them well! read more

Best restaurant in Mentor!!! many flavorful vegetarian and vegan options (if you ask for no cheese/sour cream) I just can't get enough! extremely friendly staff and a beautiful establishment. I could eat here everyday! read more

Our server was AMAZING!! I don't remember her name, but her hair was kind of red and put into braids or pigtails (don't remember). She also had little drawings/tattoos on her face. She was VERY attentive and kind. The food was pretty good as well. We went at 8pm and the vibe was very homey yet alive. Price was $23 for two meals but obviously it depends on what you get! read more

Had a mango frozen margarita and it was undrinkeable. Asked for another , lime, just as bad. Food was ok at best and they had some kind of karaoke going on that was equally not good. This place could do much better. read more

This is close to work (Goodyear) so it's very convenient and fast, which is great! Food is what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant. Service is straight to the point, no frills - again, what you would expect and probably want if you're coming here for a quick lunch! read more

My husband and I just left without even ordering because, as he was eating the salsa a 1/2 eaten chip came up from the bottom of the bowl...NOT HIS. As a former restaurant worker, I can only think that this means they dump the salsa back into the container when people are done. Very gross and unsanitary. Are they dumping unused rice or beans back into the container? We will NEVER go back there. read more

Upon walking in we were immediately greeted by the hostess and sat at a table with no wait. The service was phenomenal and everyone is always incredibly nice! The food is always delicious and is very authentic. The ambiance is amazing and it is truly a great taste of Mexican food at its finest. I strongly recommend trying this restaurant! I know I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Food and service are great. Lots of seating. Large menu selections. Love the complimentary salsa and chips.

My go to Mexican restaurant in Akron. Everything from the food to the service is above and beyond. Amazing place for students

I'm a truck driver making deliveries across the U.S. during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Ever since the lock downs started it been harder and harder to find a good meal. Many restaurants are closed. Those that are open can only do take out. So it's been eating fast food or cold sandwiches in the truck. I already spend so much time in the truck its down right depressing at times eating every meal in the truck. How I miss being able to sit at a table in a restaurant and enjoy a good hot meal after driving nearly 700 miles in a single day. So I was happy to find a Mexican restaurant with 4 out of 5 stars after 79 reviews right next to a truck stop. (I grew up in southern California and I know how hard it is to find good Mexican food in the middle of the country) The truck parking lot was full but the restaurant's parking lot was practically empty. (Since the sign outside said to order by phone for pick up. Those customers picking up orders were in and out fairly quickly). So I pulled into their lot and went inside to order. This was my first time here so I needed to see a menu. After about 5 minutes I settled on the tacos Al Pastor plate and Special burrito. The server was friendly and it took about 15 minutes for them to make my order. So far everything was going great, unfortunately that's when a person claiming to be the owner shows up. So I get my food and head back to the truck. All I needed to do was figure out my route to my next delivery in Pennsylvania. A small town named Belleville. It's a tiny town near State College Pennsylvania on state route. Driving a 70 foot tractor trailer on tiny secondary roads through the forested hills of Pennsylvania is no picnic. So I was checking my route before I left the parking lot. That's went the person claiming to the "owner" pulls up in tiny tan colored car. He looks at me oddly and then goes into the restaurant. He sent the cleaning guy out in gloves and an apron to ask if I was planning on staying in their lot. I told the cleaning guy ( who was very polite) that I had just gotten my meal from their restaurant and was planning on leaving as soon as I figured out my route. He seemed satisfied and I thought that was the end of it. But a few minutes later the "owner" comes out all loud and rude saying that's it's been 10 minutes since the cleaning guy told me to leave. ( I don't believe it had been that long but i suppose its possible). The "owner" is all upset that I've been there for 30 minutes. (Of which 20 minutes was spent ordering my food and waiting for them to prepare it. I tried to explain that I was just bought my dinner from his restaurant and was just trying to figure out home to get to my next delivery. That's when he ranting "that it shouldn't take 10 minutes and that I need to leave or he'll call the police ". Really?? Your parking lot is empty. I just bought my dinner from his restaurant and the fact that I've been there 10 minutes since they gave me my order is grounds to threaten to call the police on me? They so called "owner" is threatening to call the police on one of his customers because he hadn't left the parking lot within 10 minutes of pickup up his order? Absolutely ridiculous, rude, unprofessional and mentally disturbed. It's a stark contrast to all the praise you hear from the media and the President about truck drivers working hard to keep stores stocked and essential industries supplied with the materials and equipment they need. I guess the "owner" never heard that. I'm not asking for praise or any special treatment. I just wanted a hot meal other than fast food. read more

Our server, Lupita, was absolutely wonderful! The food is incredible, healthy servings and reasonably priced. I personally recommend trying their house made hot sauce; it's made fresh daily and is definitely not for those who can't handle spice. read more

Wish I could give 0 stars. Me and my family went to Azteca and got 0 refills and I had ordered a quesadilla with only chicken and cheese and then received NACHOS and he still put it on the bill I was absolutely furious! So unbelievable and you will never see me there again. read more

Great Mexican food and a good selection of draft beers Servers were pleasant and efficient. Food is always delivered hot. Salsa and tortilla chips are good and they refill them if you eat them all while waiting for food. read more

Small, very nice place! Very friendly staff and the food is very well priced and some of the best Mexican food in the area.

Amazing food ; always good service! It is our first go to for Mexican food and never disappointed

Horrible the last few times we went, and they were cleaning as well before close one time & it smelt like super strong chemicals the whole time to the point i could taste it read more

The salsa was to die for. I ordered the wrong Chile relleno but didn't know it until my meal came. The server explained the difference between the two types and brought me the Chile Poblano. It was one of the best I ever had. My advice is to ask the server if there are similar dishes so you get the right one. read more

There was not paper towel at restroom!! The food was tasty but i gave them 2 star because it doesn't worth to try to , the reason is the portions is to small !!! We asked from the manager that which portions is big and she referred us carnitas and cancoun , and she said this are huge plates!?!? I'll upload the pictures so u decide is it hugeeeeee or not ??? After almost 25 min when they brought us our foods i asked the manager is this ur hugeee portions??? She said our plates is only for one person which we were 2 person and ordered 2 dinner menu item???? Long story short spend +$30 and still both of us were hungry!!! read more

I see a review where the manager explained, in Spanish, to a Mexican customer, that he was selling "Mexican food for gringos." I couldn't agree more. It's a clean, nice, comfortable, well-run restaurant that has a large and varied menu of Mexican dishes. What my wife and I got was good, fresh, healthy food, in the form of Mexican dishes, prepared as blandly as such food could be. In desperation, I asked for green sauce, and got decent green sauce to put on my tacos so they had some flavor. I give it four stars. You are going to enjoy your food, here. It's going to fill you up. But if you are expecting authentic Mexican cuisine, it's not served here. read more

This to me is the best Mexican restaurant around. The margaritas are the best around town. The service is very good. The ambiance is very pleasing and relaxing. read more

I used to be pretty regular at azteca prior to the pandemic. Even ordered takeout during the pandemic. However... ¡no más! I just ordered take out and it was terrible!!! All of our orders were barely warm... and I got there before i was supposed to pick it up. They used to have the best salsa... i used to go and just get salsa... now it's just chopped tomatoes and some jalapeños, no flavor. And I got one tiny cup of salsa when I ordered a large salsa. My carne asada burrito had about 3 pieces of beef, i say beef because it was like roast beef not steak in carne asada. My mother got chicken nachos, awful!!! Just boiled chicken and cheese. It was like getting someone else's leftovers. They used to have flavor they used to be delicious but I will never be going back here. The quality has drastically dropped. Plus the attitude the staff was very off putting.. it wasn't friendly like in the past. I wonder if they gotten new management, but I won't be finding out because I won't be coming back. I will patronize La loma or other local Mexican restaurants for some GOOD Authentic Mexican food. read more

The food was very good and very filling! David was a great waitor. Bathrooms were also nice and clean. Great Mexican restaurant!

Waiter was in a rush to where he spilled our pitcher of margaritas in the table and i dont suggest ordering the chorizo tacos the chorizo was under cooked and just the worst chorizo ive ever had wae very disa read more

These guys are the best and as Azteca Restaurant is my favorite go to for awesome authentic Mexican. Great food! Ken Z. read more

The drinks are good and the food is fast. Service is always great. We love being able to sit out on the Patio.

After my food arrived, I got something different then what I was expecting, when I asked why my plate looked different that what I ordered, the owner was called, when I asked about my plate his answer was " That's Mexican food for Gringos" despite I am Mexican, my husband is white, for the owner to tell me that in Spanish assuming my husband won't understand... Stoped here because we were hungry, but never, EVER AGAIN!!!!! read more

Used to be a great place. In fact, one of my favorite places, till for some odd reason their quality went down hill all a sudden... Margaritas don't taste the same. I used to enjoy drinking them, now I find myself leaving with one half empty. But the worse thing is that my husband and I went recently and found a dark long hair in our queso, they replaced it but didn't consider taking it off the bill! I find that odd. We knew it wasn't our own hair since we both have light hair ... I was pretty grossed out and disappointed to not have had that removed from the bill. They acted like it was no big deal at all, no apologies whatsoever. Bazaar. read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Cheap, fast Mexican food. That's the best way to describe Azteca. The staff is always friendly, the food is pretty decent, and you can't beat the prices. The ambiance inside isn't the best, but the patio is spacious with plenty of seating. One important thing to note is that I hear the margaritas taste great, but they are St. Patty's Day - style dyed green, which can throw you off a little. read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Margaritas with a hint of green dye. - Mexican Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Great food. I have eaten here probably 100 times. BUT; They have lost my business because of their "punch card discount" I had a full punch card that they refused to honor an earned 6 or 7 dollar discount. They said "you can use it next time" I said "ok" then I ripped it up and haven't been back since, and wont go back... Unfortunate. . . read more
