    Tiny portions to add insult to injury. For $20 you get an entree that is the size of a tortilla chip.

    Never again. I'm done. We had dinner tonight in Mountlake Terrace. After our plates were brought out our waitress didn't check on us, not ONCE. Interestingly she stopped by the table speaking to her in Spanish six times. Yes, SIX times before they even ordered their dinner. She walked by us each time and glared at us every single time. Maybe it was because we didn't order alcohol? Maybe because we didn't Spanish. Little did she know that I actually do speak Spanish and just got off from work where I am a certified interpreter. There were only 4 occupied tables plus one six top celebrating a birthday in the entire restaurant. I saw a few occupied tables in the bar. I take it from their lack of customers (revenue) that we are not the only ones who came away disappointed. We only continued to patronize Azteca because of a particular dish they make. Everything else is... meh. I had been a customer since 1994 at the Seattle location. When we moved to the north end we started going to the Lynnwood location which soon closed. We moved to the Mountlake Terrace location where we are treated like we are not welcome. The owners need to revisit their mission statement. "At Azteca Mexican Restaurant, our mission is to serve up more than just delicious food - we want to share the warmth, love, hospitality, and traditions of our Mexican heritage with every guest, every time."

    Tacos Al Carbon (chicken)
    Maryam G.

    After much deliberation, I recently chose Azteca to satisfy a Mexican food craving. I ordered Tacos Al Carbon with adobo chicken. The chicken pieces were tender, tasty, and good quality. The tortillas were very barely dipped in sauce, so they could've been more flavorful. I also wished there was more garnish; I loved the taco I ate with the pinch of ice burg lettuce sitting under the pico, but didn't have enough to enjoy the other two tacos the same way. Azteca's beans and rice are very yummy, and better than many other local places. That alone earns them a star! This review is based on a delivery order, so I can't speak to service or ambiance. I will note that the packaging was thoughtful and done with care, which is not something I can usually say about delivery orders. While I only ordered one dish, it was good enough that I'm looking forward to trying Azteca again to try others.

    heads up! Huevos Rancheros is not on the menu, but you can order it off-menu. this location is my favorite. i haven't been here since the lock-down in 2020. and i'd forgotten how good the food is here. the chile verde and the huevos rancheros were just a delcious as i remembered. the pork in the chile verde was tender and not dry. the sauce had a slight kick to it. the eggs for the huevos rancheros were properly cooked to be soft yolk. the rice is well seasoned and not gloppy, and the refried beans are not mushy. love their salsa! it has a medium spicy kick to it, but it's not over-whelming. the restaurant was busy on sunday afternoon but service was attentive and efficient. although she was not the designated waiter for our table, Angelica checked on us frequently and was pleasant and upbeat. i will definitely ask for her table the next visit. time to go back and try my other favorites: chile relleno, sopa de azteca, chile colorada, enchiladas a la crema.

    Grande lunch platter.  $13 so much food!

    Friendly service, tasty food served piping hot, clean restaurant, very reasonable prices, easy parking. Nothing not to like about this AmerMex cuisine.

    Chicken tortilla soup
    Alison P.

    My 7 year old granddaughter likes this restaurant. I didn't realize that what she likes is very Americanized. She had nachos with cheese, refried beans & rice. Hey at least she's eating something little more ethnic. Well, sort of. I am hoping she will eventually want to try something a little more authentic. My 2 year old granddaughter wanted chicken tenders with French fries. Help me, Lord! I ordered the chicken tortilla soup, as did my husband. It was actually pretty good! The broth was quite tasty. I love avocado in my soup. It had a bit of a kick to it! We also ordered queso cheese dip and a side of refried beans. I always base Mexican restaurants by their refried beans. These were pretty tasty! The wait staff were very friendly and accommodating.

    Chicken chimichanga. Tiny rice and beans. Foil container is the size of 8.5x11 piece of paper.

    This is by far the worst azteca. If you care about good food and good customer service. Don't go here.

    Food was good. Ambiance was fitting. Service was prompt. Not a big fan of chains but this isn't a national chain.

    This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Seattle! I'm from the south where there's a lot of…read moreauthentic Mexican restaurants ran by Mexican families, and this place tastes just like home. The service is always excellent (shout to Martín, he always takes care of us!), and the ambiance is cozy and fun. Large portions for a fair price, and the margaritas HITTTT. Best frozen margs and queso! If you're looking for upscale, gentrified Mexican food, this isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for cozy vibes with authentic food and strong drinks, this is the place :)

    The staff was very nice and the place almost empty for a Seahawks game with a ton of TVs so it was…read moreawesome in that regard. Most of the TVs had the brightness set so high black was bright gray on the screens. It was hard to even tell what was going on during the game because the screens were so poorly adjusted. Less good was the terrible food. We had three orders of nachos and each of the three were terrible in different ways. They were very inconsistent except in sogginess. The chips were soaking wet and mushy. There was some meat, but it was so mixed with this rotten tasting white gunk that none of us ate it. My friend that is a chef at the chain of restaurants where work said the green gunk on the nachos was miracle whip with green food coloring mixed in it like we did for St Patrick's one year. It was gross. The beers we had were all flat and tasted like they didn't properly clean the lines, but the margaritas two of our party had were huge. They looked good. The bartender was fun and a huge football fan so that was great, but he didn't seem to speak enough English to understand our orders. I tipped him very well just because he made people happy even if he was terrible at his job.
