The staff were very friendly and the service was quick and professional. It was a clean and seemingly well taken care of restaurant. I unfortunately didn't enjoy the food. It may be that it's more authentic than what I'm used to but I eat quite a bit of Mexican food so I'm not really certain why I didn't enjoy the taste. It came highly recommended from locals butI unfortunately wouldn't go back. read more

When you approach Azteca, you get the feeling that you are at yet another mom-and-pop Mexican restaurant in Anytown, USA. And for many people, that's awesome! And so, I gave this restaurant 4 stars, because I know the parking lot was halfway full, and my partner has a friend who loves it. So if you are not particular (like me....), this place is great! Don't read on! If you ARE particular.... then I might recommend you keep looking. The fajitas were not great. I actually couldn't tell the difference between the chicken and beef at first glance, and it required closer inspection. This was due to the fairly heavy marinade or sauce which covered the meat. The amount of meat wasn't particularly generous, and the vegetables seemed to have been pre-cooked (over-cooked) before being "grilled" which I think only occurred in the skillet. They were drab in color and limp. I could keep going, but it feels mean, because it really had a comfortable, local feeling in the restaurant and the servers were friendly. Up to you! read more

Stopped in Sunday evening around 5PM and the place was already very busy. It was near 100 degrees outside and obviously their air conditioning was struggling to keep up but was still bearable. For as busy as they were the service was top notch! I enjoyed the chips although not as thin as I prefer it was good to dip in the bean dip they come with. I ordered a cheese and onion enchilada. Special requested it to be on a flour tortilla vs the corn one it comes on. It was pretty tasty! I'd ask for extra onions next time, as there will definitely be a next time!! read more

Portions | Flavor | Open-Mind Portions: This place has an amazing "portions to price" ratio. I always finish my meal, and I had to take food home. I had the chicken fajitas with beans. So, if you go, make sure you bring your appetite, and I would advise against getting an appetizer if you want to finish your meal. Flavor: We had the chips, salsa, and guacamole for an appetizer for the family. Their moderately spicy salsa and guacamole have an amazing, unique, tasty flavor--additionally, the chicken flavoring on the fajitas is unique and delicious. Open-Mind: This place is in an interesting part of town. It is near a truck stop off the highway. Therefore, it does not have great curb appeal. However, this is by far the best Mexican food in the Omaha area. Therefore, do not judge the book by its cover. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of Mexican food. Pro tip: You probably do not need a reservation. The restaurant is large, and there is a good amount of seating inside. read more

Azteca - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Azteca is a callback to the family-operated restaurants of previous decades. Why? Because they have great food here with amazing portion sizes and at reasonable prices. If you order any single one of their dinner platters you might not need to eat until lunch the next day. It's that much food. Azteca is one of my go-to restaurants not just for the quality, big portions, and price. Their "American" menu also has some hidden gems, not the least of which are their burgers. Guys. Their burgers (and fries too) are AMAZING. And so modestly priced for how huge they are. Honestly, if you're jonesing for a burger, skip the fast-food places nearby and just go to Azteca instead. You'll probably end up paying about the same, if not less, and you'll get a bigger burger and a far better meal. All their main menu items also come with chips and salsa. Note: their salsa is delicious and QUITE hot, at least by Midwest standards. I should also mention that their service is always friendly and VERY quick. Downsides? Uh... their building could probably use a remodel, I guess. But who cares? I love Azteca! read more

Azteca is awesome! It has its own flavoring and unique taste which I love and that's what keeps me coming back. I do not steer away from the menu, I always get the chicken fajitas, they are my favorite fajitas from any place! They are served with guac, lettuce, and sour cream and your choice of tortillas, flour is top tier for my fajitas. The service is always fast, also nice to be brought a pitcher or water so I don't have to keep bothering the server for a refill! Almost as soon as you are sat, you are usually greeted with a full plate of delicious, thin chips, a delicious bean dip, cabbage mix, and a delicious mild salsa! Luisa is usually the one who drops that off, she's awesome and so friendly! The menu is so big, plenty to choose from for groups and even kids! It is a nice and relaxed atmosphere inside with music playing low! read more

Nothing fancy, basic Mexican fare and the food was good. Veronica, our server, was fabulous. I like that they give each table a pitcher of ice water. Also that there are several sauces for the chips. The Arroz con Pollo recipe was unique compared to others with mushrooms, peppers, and red sauce. The tacos and tostada were pretty standard. The churros were very tasty. They had Bavarian and caramel. read more

My husband's family and I headed out to Azteca Mexican Restaurant in Omaha, NE last night. We got pretty lucky on timing - showed up on a Thursday at 6 pm, and it wasn't too packed yet (it got full later, though). Our server was super nice and patient with the in-laws who are older and a bit hard of hearing. He really went out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable. The food here is amazing! Azteca knows how to deliver some serious flavor. First, they start you off with 3 types of dip and a bowl of chips, and they are SO. GOOD. And the chips are homemade, I think. I ordered an avocado tostada and enchilada. It was huge and tasted awesome. My husband is a vegetarian, and he absolutely LOVED the veggie burrito. They ave a few different options for veggie loves, which he always appreciates. The ambience could be a bit better, and when it gets packed, things can get loud, so it's not exactly the spot for a quiet conversation. Overall, Azteca is pretty great - it's an awesome spot to get your Mexican food fix, and everything is really fresh and tasty. read more

Came for dinner here recently. Prior visits have always been great...friendly greeting, smiling servers and quick to take drink and food orders.. Unfortunately, this was far from our experience this time. Dining area was totally dead, our server was not to be seen. My husband was ready to leave. No drink order, no interest to see if we'd been taken care of. Finally, some one showed up. Food came quickly along with a few beers. Food was to be expected and as we had remembered it in the past. Our server never really stopped at our table. All she did was breeze by while talking, not sure she was speaking to us. Disappointing experience. Doubt we'll return. read more

This place has gone down hill big time! 1st off it's very dirty even on an unbusy night. The food used to be good but not anymore, 4 of us ordered something different and none of us were thrilled about it, what used to be good is now less than mediocre. Alcohol prices for cheap tequila and rot gut margarita mix are ridiculous! Each of us had 2 large margaritas and none of us felt anything, absolutely no buzz at all and it cost us $100.00!!! And that was just for the alcohol. Don't get me wrong I don't mind paying for good food and drinks but this was not only disappointing but ridiculous! read more

Went to five stars because it was uniformly great food. My friend and I dined like kings for under $30.... It's more LA Mex than Tex Mex. Seafood. Chicken. Meat. Vegetarian. I had Chile Rellenos; very good, nice taste. My friend had different camerones dishes on two nights; all stellar. Tough to go wrong here. The flavors are genuine; attention to detail and ingredients were great. Big or small party, it's really good. A five star from me is special; it means good food and flavors. Big parking; the only downside: restrooms could use attention. read more

This place used to be so good. The last few visits the food has been served cold, wrong orders or we order online and they take our payment but then advise they don't have what was ordered when we pick it up. Quality of the food is low and even the burritos are swimming in water like the plate has been sitting for a while allowing condensation to form. Bye azteca! read more

Hubby & I shared Fajitas Azteca & it was delish! Big shrimp! Yummy. Plenty of food for us.

We saw the reviews and decided to try it. The boys loved their tacos and burger! My husband was very pleased with his fajitas, but I wasn't as excited about my food. Maybe I wasn't really feeling Mexican, but I felt the enchiladas were not as great as they could be. My plate was crazy hot (as told), but the corners of my food were burnt because of it. I had to wait a good 5 minutes before I could even attempt to taste my food. I'm all about my food being hot but holy cow this was insanely hot! My cheese was crispy even. Once I could try it the taste was ok. They had flavored everything nicely, but i guess I was turned off by presentation to really give a try comment. I definitely want to come back to try to up their rating since everyone else was pleased. read more

In my 28 years on this earth, I've never liked refried beans, but this all changed when we stopped at Azteca! We were seated immediately and brought chips and three different dips. There was a bean dip and salsa, and I'm unsure of the other one. When you finish your chips, it does cost extra to get more chips or dips. Our waitress was very attentive, and we were able to order quickly. I got the lunch combo with an enchilada and taco. They were both chicken. The enchilada was delicious, but let's talk about the beans. The beans were seasoned well, had plenty of cheese, and just tasted great! I love La Mesa, but Azteca has their beans nailed! The food came out super quick, and it was really delicious. I would definitely come back and stop here on my way to and from the outlets! read more

Good food. Good price. Good service. Yes, the inside could be updated, but so what.

Best Burrito Colorado in town!! Made with chunks & shreds of beef that tastes like it's been in a slow cooker for hours making it nice & tender!! This burrito has added beans & rice mixed in with the beef making it one huge burrito full of flavor!! On top is a dollop of guacamole & sprinkle of diced fresh tomatoes . There's a nice zesty spread of red sauce covering the entire burrito!! Making it my #1 favorite in town!! Every table gets free chips, hot salsa, refried beans & diced coleslaw!

Always love finding a good Mexican joint when driving across country! So good I wanted to leave a review. The chips and salsa - different BUT oh so good. You get refried beans, a diced medley of yum- onion, cabbage, cilantro and a hot salsa - a perfect trifecta with the warm chips. They sold out of the Chile verde - which was a disappointment for my hubby and his meal. You could smell it when we walked in the restaurant it smelled bomb. My soup Albondongas hit the spot- the broth was beautiful and flavorful. Not oily. I truly appreciated the huge amount of cilantro and onion chopped up on the side and the amount of vegetables. The staff was friendly, efficient & quick. The place was packed on Wednesday but we got our meal in less then 20 minutes it seemed. I would definitely hit this spot again. read more

Stopped at this place because of the great reviews. Sadly I was not impressed. The place looked like it was falling apart terrible carpeting, bathroom doors looked broken and it hasn't been touch or renovated in forever. When we walked in it smelled amazing! Smelled like a true Mexican restaurant. I ordered a strawberry margarita, it was a little underwhelming. The chips and salsa they put out were not good. The food came out quick thou the service wasn't the best. We got nachos which were meh and tacos which were pretty good. I don't think it's worth the stop at all. Two stars for the two good tacos. read more

First time there in several years. Arrived at 4:00 PM and place was practically empty which should be a good time. Ordered Beef enchiladas and a tamale which I always get in a Mexican cafe to judge the quality of the shredded meat. The tamale came to the table virtually cold. I sent it back to be reheated. The enchiladas were covered in a bland brown sauce about room temperature. The beef in the enchiladas was a grainy soup and mostly missing. My wife ordered a chimichanga which resembled a plump burrito with a tomato on top of it. She reported it fairly tasteless. Upon arrival chips are served but in place of salsa a bean slurry is served along with some cabbage slaw and extremely hot sauce. The guacamole is really vanilla with no kick at all. Essentially the best I could rate this place is clean and affordable TexMEx. Won't be back. Too many other authentic Mexican stores available. read more

Prices are too high for what you receive. Food is marginally good. Service is good. I paid $10 for an enchilada with no sides. Very disappointed. read more

I'm finally kicking up this rating to 5 stars tonight. A new server was 'spot on' with excellent service and friendly personality. The food was just as good as the service. The Carne Asada is my favorite dish at this restaurant. The chips, beans, and cole slaw were brought out quickly, this doesn't always happen consistently here. Take out box and check were quickly delivered with a great smile. I hope this server stays at this restaurant for a long time. read more

I came here on a recent trip to Omaha. Nebraska in general is not the most vegan-friendly state. The first place I tried that had seemed promising was closed, so I decided to try my luck here. The staff was friendly. I was quickly brought chips and salsa, a bowl of cabbage slaw, and a bowl of mushy beans. The beans were not vegan, but the slaw was and the salsa was nice and spicy. My server was knowledgeable about what veganism is and directed me around the menu accordingly, so definitely bonus points for this! I ordered the garden fresh burrito, a fully vegan option with zucchini, red cabbage, beans, rice, and other veggies -- all covered in a sauce that was It came on a floral China plate that reminded me of eating at my grandmothers. Honestly, I did not expect much coming here but have to say that this vegan burrito was absolutely delicious! Combined with the friendly service, family-like atmosphere, and convenient location next to the highway, it was a great experience. Vegans feeling lost and hungry in Nebraska -- come here! read more

Always our favorite place! Love enchiladas and beans! Best rice in town! Busy at peak times, but the locals love the food here.

I ordered from this place for the first time last week. It was recommended by a friend and they didn't disappoint. I walked in just before the lunch crowd rush. The lady who waited on me (I didn't get a name) was prompt on getting my order, and getting my ticket ready (it was a carry out order). I got the Azteca Burrito, Chalupa and chips and salsa. It was all very good. Will definitely be back again soon. read more

This weekend I ventured out to Azteca. I thought that it was decent but probably not a top Mexican food restaurant. I ordered a few strawberry margaritas, the Colorado burrito and ate quite a few chips and salsa. I do like that as soon as we got to the restaurant we were greeted friendly and got chips, salsa, and come cabbage dip(?) kind of odd but wasn't too bad and I personally haven't seen that anywhere else so cool they have their own thing. The Colorado burrito itself was pretty good, made decently, but I don't think it was anywhere in the top of the best burritos in Omaha didn't really fill me up. and there wasn't rice and beans on the side like there is most places. The margaritas were actually really good and not too bad of a price, think they were $5 a piece but they were actually tasty. read more

Azteca is keeping the level of service & quality of food as great as ever and exercising smart safety precautions with masks, social distancing (for eating in)!

So you pull up to this place, right off the interstate to Lincoln and you think, well this is going to be an adventure. But it was packed, and it was only 4:45 so that was a good sign! There is a old red train caboose outside and in we went. Immediately when we were sat, we were given beans, salsa and a slaw. Awesome! I really enjoyed their salsa. Had a tiny hot to it. Once we ordered the food came out within 10 minutes. Super fast, really good beef. The waitresses were so sweet to my kids. My daughter (1) was chowing on rice and making a mess. They were still so nice. At the end they brought them chips with cinnamon and sugar and whipped cream. That was really nice and I will be back. Good servers and food go along way and really make you want to come back read more

This is my all time favorite place to come for Mexican. I have been coming here for years and every time it is just as good as my first time. The cheese enchiladas are some of the best in omaha and their sauce is so delicious. wish I could eat here everyday. I will be recommending this place to anyone ever asking about a Mexican restaurant in omaha. The vibe here is very laid back and the staff is always so nice. free chips, salsa, bean dip, and coleslaw dip. who else does that in omaha? not many. read more

Food was yummy, yet the restaurant could use a good deep clean with updated or refresher on their booth and tables.

Kid friendly. Complimentary chips and salsa. There salsa is really good. It's hot. Slightly chunky. And the chips come with a bean sauce I haven't seen anywhere else. Pina Colada is tasty. The Chile rellano is good. The chicken enchilada is only okay. Not much to it. Just chicken wrapped in shell. Rice and beans are normal. They have an extra salady thing which is vinegar coleslaw type of stuff. It's good. I'll eat here again. read more

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Omaha, as the appetizers are a meal in themselves, besides the fried Bread with whip cream and cherry sauce at the end. The food is hot fast and near blazing fast service. I have eaten here many times, have never had a bad meal, they are as consistent as a Swiss watch. Lunch and dinner time are very busy times for them, but they don't miss a beat. read more

I've been eating here for 20 years and I'm never disappointed. The staff is incredible, the food is *chef's kiss* (try the Arroz con Pollo) and the atmosphere is genuinely wonderful. Also... the complimentary beans, cabbage, and salsa with the chips. THE BEST. read more
