Very good food, pleasant staff. Portions are very generous. This is a great place to get authentic Mexican food.

Food is excellent and portions are generous. They make the most incredible flan - also the Azteca burrito is amazing! Would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Great food. Authentic Mexican. Reasonably cost. Nice people. Always enjoy having dinner there or do take out.

Delicious & fresh authentic Mexican food! Will definitely be back! Close to home, gem in a small strip of shops.

Hands down the best authentic Mexican food in the area. When I lived in Toms River, I would eat at this restaurant regularly... At least 2-3 times a month. Every time was as equally impressive as the last. I've tried at least 5+ dishes and I have to say the fish taco dinner is amazing, as well as the fresh salsa they provide. Can't wait to make a trip back here read more

i really enjoy this restaurant ! my only issue is the food quality recently, the last 2 times i've came, hasn't been the best, the rice has been hard and their beans haven't been great like they used to be. i used to LOVE their beans but recently they've gone downhill and i haven't eaten them. the service is good. read more

Heaven in a strip mall. I didn't expect much from this neon engulfed palace right off of Route 70 that looks more amenable to take-out dining and just may be a restaurant by accident. What you won't find is a menu swimming in Doritos-inspired Taco Bell abominations that are excreted into your car through a pulsating sphincter cut into the side of the building. This is the real deal. Fresh and flavorful featuring ginormous portions that should be enough for three meals. The Tacos Dorados appetizer and the Azteca Fajitas (chicken, beef, shrimp) were more than enough for two but we experimented with some beef enchiladas that were outworldly. One minor observation. Dinner plates were simply not provided until we asked and napkins were also nowhere to be found until we insisted and I ran out of sleeve. With a less stellar kitchen, stars would have been shaved but Azteca remains the mighty hole-in-the wall Mexican gem where the menu carries the day. Enjoy. read more

Excellent Mexican food! The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how spotless the place was!!! Gotta love a clean restaurant. Then the food was amazing, the atmosphere was charming, the staff attentive and very nice. We will most definitely go again! read more

Authentic, fresh and absolutely delicious food! Complimentary basket of Tri-color Chips & Salsa. Courteous staff and quick service. Atmosphere is clean with Mex decorations. Colorful placemats and dinnerware. Even the music is great! When next in Brick, NJ we will definitely return. If using credit card, a fee will be added. read more

Very strange service. The girl on the phone didn't know the menu nor how to input anything, asked me to call me back so she could ask someone. Once she calls me, I make my order and hang up. 5 minutes later I get a call saying they are terribly sorry but they can't honor the special they have on the menu on their website. Either change your menu or honor what you are advising... we decided to take our business elsewhere. read more

Good food. Overpriced. Bad Flan. Place is never busy. Mostly takeout orders. Charge you extra for another small bowl of tortilla chips. Not store made. ($1.95). Easy parking. read more

Had dinner here last night, got sat down and were given the chips and salsa. I went with the Durango combo which was a chicken taco, nachos, taquito, quesadilla with rice and beans. The food was decent but it didn't really have much flavor to it, it was a little bland. It was definitely fresh but wish it had more flavor. Service was okay, and inside had some tables. Pricing wasn't bad either read more

Food is delicious, well presented, clean, we really enjoyed the meal. Only complaint is the waitstaff just didn't know how to waitress.

This place is spotless and though there were only a couple people eating here presently, there were many takeout orders in the interim. It's a gem in a nameless strip mall on Rte 9. It cries authentic Mexican cuisine. Chips and homemade salsa were placed on my table by Gianna, my server. This salsa was great and I mean Great. I could have made this my meal. My main course consisted of Azteca Burrito, a combo of steak, chicken & shrimp burrito w/refried black beans, sour cream, & extra cilantro. I was ecstatic for 20 minutes. Rest rooms clean like home. Parking ample Most of the servers speak Español here. It would help my server if she knew that. read more

When this place burned down in Toms River I almost cried-we had been eating there since the first day it opened! Now they are open again in Brick and another location is opening on 9 in Toms River (across from Carl's fence). Yay! The food is just amazing-it's fresh and down right delicious! I've had pretty much everything and have never, not once-had a bad meal. You get chips and salsa when you sit and the music and vibe is chill. BYOB a + and they mix margaritas and sangrias! What more could you ask for? read more

This place is the worst ! The service is horrendous, and the food was exceptionally bad ! It came out cold the soup and we asked to have it reheated and they said we'll put it in the microwave and that'll be good ! With a huge attitude ! Then on main meal came out and that was ice cold ! They reluctantly took one of the dishes back and said to us they not given us anything else ! With another attitude for a local establishment who you try to embrace the food service and ownership are horrible ! read more

My family and I had dinner here last night. Since there are few good Mexican places locally we were really hoping for this place to be a winner. They recently opened so we expect a few hiccups. Our server was a friendly young lady. She was pretty on top of things. The stuffed avocado appetizer was delicious! There were a decent amount of shrimp in the dish - well worth the 11 dollar price tag! I enjoyed the carnitas burrito as my wife enjoyed her shrimp and roasted garlic. We will definitely be back but a few minor comments: We had both asked for black beans and received refried instead. My wife's shrimp were served with a side of mayo. Mayo at a Mexican place??? We found this a bit odd.. I have an allergy to mayo and guess I need to specify in the future no mayo. Kids menu is a bit pricey. 10 dollars for a kids cheese quesadilla is a bit much. read more

The server was rude not cordial and not very customer oriented. Place was empty and we were passing thru. Never going back to that place. Picked up the table before we even finished eating. Not recommend this place even if it free. read more

We have been to this restaurant a few times, food has been very good and service has been very nice. The horchata servings are big. The steak was tender and my wife enjoyed her steak burrito. Will recommend this restaurant. read more

Best restaurant! The food is so delicious and authentic! It's BYOB as well! I get the burrito Azteca every time! It's my go too! Amazing chipotle sauce smothered on the burrito, ask for more in the side! Their house salsa is so fresh, has a great onion and cilantro taste! A must go to! read more

UPDATE: it's gone! The restaurant has burnt down! https://patch.com/new-jersey/tomsriver/fire-destroys-route-9-businesses-toms-river-reports Fresh, tasty ingredients make for a great meal. This is my second time here, and it doesn't disappoint. Fresh salsa and chips ( neither greasy nor too thick) kick the meal off. I had the Azteca Burrito- big chunks of shrimp and meat with crisp ingredients garnished with a mango salsa and covered in a delicious cheese sauce. The live music was a nice touch. No liquor license, but the food makes up for this drawback. Come here- you won't be disappointed! read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Well done... - Mexican Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

This new restaurant is located where a Vietnamese one was was before. It was a Wednesday night so it wasn't busy. As soon as we sat down our server came and took our order of drinks. This is a BYOB so only soft drinks were available. Nachos were served: they were crunchy and the 3 different salsas were fresh and tasty. We asked some queso fundido con chorizos for an appetizer and everyone loved it. My grandkid ordered carne a la parrilla which was a very generous portion of a tender flank steak with a salad on the side and beans. He liked it very much. The rest we all had tacos al pastor which were prepared the way they are supposed to, with grilled pineapple, fresh cilantro and onions. Shallots, radishes and beans on the side all for only 8.50$ each. A great deal!!!!! I definitely recommend this place. read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Lunch menu - Mexican Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

We were hoping for a good local Mexican place, but the food is mediocre at best, everything lacked a bit of flavor. My wife ordered a steak burrito and the meat was a bit dry and chewy, my chicken burrito was ok. The chips and salsa was ok- sauce was good but many of the chips were small pieces that were like the bottom of the bag type size. And the tamale was atrocious, I don't know how that could've been served... which made it go from a middle of the road 3 to a 2 star. I can't recommend this place and I certainly won't visit a second time when there are many others to try. We can only hope to find something as good as Juanito's in Redbank or Juanito's II in Howell. read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - This is supposed to be a Tamale...‍ - Mexican Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

Great experience Saturday night at EL AZTECA. New location opened recently after their previous location (in Toms River) was lost in a fire. Our family has been patrons of this restaurant for several years at their Toms River location. Saturday was our first time in their new location. We had the "Botana Azteca" as an appetizer; it was more than enough for the 3 of us. Our entrees included Chicken Tacos, Carne a la parilla & Huaraches -steak & chicken; everything fresh & delicious; you get huge portions here so come hungry. We also had churros and coffee for dessert. Azteca is BYOB. Also, they have awesome live music some Fridays & Saturdays. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed! read more

Really good food. Went therefor dinner with the family. BYOB. Had live guitar playing Mexican music. Food was good. Ordered a combo special vegetarian enchilada with Mole sauce. Chorizo Tacos. Fresh but bland. Not alot of spice. Flavor was ther but seems very bland compared to other Mexican restaurants. Had to get extra salsa and some hot sauce to give it some Pop. But all together a good family experience. Definitely coming back. read more

I've ordered from azteca twice now for catering recently a few weeks ago for my birthday. We ordered full trays of beef chimichangas, chicken quesadillas & chicken fajitas. The food was amazing as usual we were all stuffed! We had so much food everyone took home leftovers and we still had leftovers for ourselves! They even took the time to wrap each tortilla for the fajitas so they wouldn't get soggy or stick together. Highly recommend for take out, dine in or their catering! read more

Tasteless, ordered and picked up our food because door dash and grub hub weren't working for the place tonight as the person on the phone said so i drove there, got home it was cold, ok so, but the beef empanada's were not chop meat like i'm use to, maybe in Mexico they use strip beef, but i like chop meat.....sorry. my chicken/beef cascades were tasteless, chicken soup was tasteless, sorry i wont be back... read more

The first thing that tipped me off was that it was 7:00 pm and the place was empty. But thought I'd give it a try based on the reviews. Food was absolutely one of the worst Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Ordered the Corta Azteca. Steak was dry and tough and lacked any flavor whatsoever. The rice and beans must have been sitting there all day. Taco Bell even has fresher tasting food. Avoid this place at all costs as I'm sure you'll be as disappointed as I was. read more

Enchiladas were delicious! I had the verde sauce they were really good. The portions were more than generous.
