I stopped in here for a farewell dinner after spending 10 days soaking up a Colorado summer. I've been coming to this area for seven years and somehow had never eaten here. Big mistake. The place was absolutely packed, which told me everything I needed to know. The hostess let us know only patio seating was available, but that worked out fine since it was noticeably quieter than the bustling dining room. I started with a medium margarita, chips, and salsa. That margarita had some attitude, and it paired perfectly with the spicy salsa and salty chips. Let's just say I was feeling optimistic about the rest of the meal. The combination dinners are the way to go if you want to try a little bit of everything. I ordered the shredded beef chimichanga. The flavor was on point, but I wish the shell had a little more crunch. My dining companions ordered an enchilada and tacos with chicken and ground beef. I sampled the chicken and wasn't sold, but the ground beef earned rave reviews. Our server, Mariana, was friendly, attentive, and somehow managed to stay on top of everything despite the dinner rush. The decor has dark, gothic Mexico City vibes that give the restaurant a ton of character. Definitely a Fraser gem. It took me seven years to finally make it here, but next time I won't wait nearly that long. read more

Surprised rated low. Everything was better than expected. The pain killer drink was delicious and did help with my ski pains. It's almost like a pina colada but not. Loved it. Had the tres amigos. It was so much food and all super tasteful. The steak is flavored so well it was a treat. Enchilada was awesome and the rellano was good. They served us quick. Just surprisingly great Mex food that I would have never chosen but glad I didn't have a choice. Will go back. read more

Fuego Azteca - Super good and way filling. - Mexican Near Me - Fraser, Colorado

Had dinner with the family at Fuego Azteca & the place is so dern good. Absolutely authentic Mexican food in the Winter Park / Fraser area. The inside is comfortably mountain-town casual. The service is fast & friendly. It gets busy, so be patient. It's well worth it. read more

I was nervous eating Mexican food in Colorado and I was pleasantly surprised to find such great Mexican food. We live in Texas and visited Colorado and this resturant was delicious. The mole was good sweet but not too sweet with a slight spice kick. Everyone enjoyed their meals ans the wait staff was friendly and helpful. Ambiance had the feel of a typical Mexican resturant. read more

I really liked this place. I was in Winter Park with friends for the last snowboarding trip of the season and we drove by this place and the colorful mural grabbed my eye. The interior was very stylish as well. The food was authentic and reasonably priced and the drinks were strong and tasty. There were some guys outside building a patio which should be an awesome addition as the weather gets warm. I'll definitely come by again in the future! read more

Visiting from out of town and decided to go here for dinner. Food was decent but service was rather poor. Waiter brought us the wrong drinks and nobody asked us if we wanted a 2nd round of drinks. We also had to ask 3 times for to go containers until they brought us enough. Would probably not go back. read more

There's a certain kind of disappointment that stings more in a small mountain town, where the options are few and you just want one honest meal. Azteca used to be that--a solid plate of beans and tequila to cut the cold. But this last visit? A cacophony of chaos. We were sat next to a window we didn't ask for, serenaded by a waiter who whistled like a bored canary in a prison yard. The nachos came bone-in--literally--and the margarita tasted like a frat party hangover in a plastic cup. Bathroom? Apocalypse. The kind that makes you question every bite. This wasn't just bad food--it was a loud, oblivious mess served with a smirk. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere that still gives a damn. read more

Realizing that a lot of pictures of the food here are mine....maybe I should get busy on a review. I just stopped in today on Black Friday and the place is packed! Literally, there's a line now and no empty tables. The new owners have revamped the menu (which was always excellent), but the quality has improved with a little higher pricing. The meat quality is great, the margaritas are excellent, lots of fresh tasting ingredients! We usually eat here during any trip to the Grand county area. We love the food and the service! The new menu is missing a few things we especially liked like Colorado Pork green chili. My husband said it's replaced with a green tomatillo sauce....yikes! We also miss the pollo Vallarta dish. What's good? Well, just about everything we have ordered has been fresh and tasty. The caramel flan is the best I have had in my life! I also love the skinny margarita here! Carne Asada is probably my favorite of the menu choices, but like I said, you can't go wrong with this new menu! Parking lot out front is free, across from Safeway in Fraser. PS: if you need that Colorado pork green chili, go to the Granby location. They are the previous owners, I believe!! read more

Complete chaos lead by a rude, unhelpful, and clearly irritated hostess. We ended up ordering to-go as there was a long wait with nowhere to sit or stand on an 8 F night. Takeout took FOREVER and was not warm once we received it. read more

This place is the best hidden gem in town. Authentic tacos are incredible! Haven't tried anything else, but don't expect to either!

Many reviews here mention the rude servers and I have to agree. I could tell that all of the servers were busy, they were running around. There was even a sign on the door mentioning be patient and kind to the servers, but that is a two way street. Like another review mentioned they are not really accommodating with making orders customized (especially if you are vegetarian). They do have a vegetarian section of their menu. I ordered the enchiladas de espinaca (spinach enchilada) and it was ok, not amazing. Another member of our party ordered a vegetarian burrito - it came with steamed veggies that were mostly unseasoned. There were also a lot of flies, probably because the door is kept open to the outdoors. Would not return. read more

Fuego Azteca - Enchiladas de espinaca - Mexican Near Me - Fraser, Colorado

The food was honestly really good. I got some chicken fajitas. I think the best part of it all was the service ! Very kind service.

Who knew our favorite Mexican place in Lakewood is also owned (partially) by the amazing folks who also own and manage Azteca?!?!?! Total score! This was a great way to end a perfect day on the mountain. And, as always, I way prefer authentic Mexican food to any other. The chips were crispy, loved the cabbage blend offered with our salsa and the house margarita? Perfect. We were treated to Chili Colorado - perfectly cooked chunks of beef lounging in a spicy (keto friendly) red sauce. And if your all about the carbs, you'll also appreciate their enchiladas - I had the Suizas variety (tomatillo sauce and sour cream), also very tasty! And once you're on a non keto kick, why not indulge and go for the flan. Yep, also yummy. So.... if you're near Winterpark or right next door in Fraser, you absolutely must stop! read more

Fuego Azteca - Mural as you walk in. Gorgeous. - Mexican Near Me - Fraser, Colorado

So we almost always cook or eat pizza when visiting winter park. We took a chance and we're like let's try and maybe the kids will enjoy and they so did! I loved the place. The service felt family owned and fun. The staff was very attentive, chips and salsa are amazing! I loved every dish our table was served and the dishes are priced well along with they are massive even the kids dishes. I can eat a lot but honestly my husband and I could have shared a dish. The soup OMG was the BEST!! Order the soup.... Really order the soup. The tortilla soup was better then any soup I have had and it comes in a massive bowl. It's a great size serving for any one to enjoy. read more

This was quite a find here in Fraser, CO. The food was delicious, but that is not the only thing that makes this restaurant stand out. Our son is highly allergic to peanuts. The first good thing - very good thing - is that the menu very clearly tells you the foods that contain peanuts. But above and beyond that, the restaurant's owner's wife, Clara, came to us personally, and assured us that she would supervise the cooking of our son's meal to make sure that there was no cross-contamination of peanuts with any part of his meal. We were so comforted by her attention to this. If I could give this restaurant a 50-star review, I would. Clara was concerned about our son's health and well being. If you're in Fraser, come and give this restaurant your business. You'll love the food and the service, and your safety will be safe guarded also!! read more

Visited Azteca with a large party on a Friday night. We were greeted with a friendly face, however our server was not very friendly or accommodating. The general vibe that I got from him was that he did not want to be at work that day. We're all human, so I don't pass huge judgement on the lack of service. Maybe it was an off day. On to the food - I am vegan. Let me be clear - they are NOT vegan friendly, nor are they willing to accommodate whatsoever. Yes - traditional Mexican is not vegan friendly - FYI lard and chicken broth are the culprits. Not the restaurant's fault, especially when they want to keep to their authenticity. The server scoffed at me and suggested an iceberg salad. I ended up getting fajita with just veggies. Well - it was 85% onions, 3 mushrooms, and 3-4 pieces of peppers doused in what seemed like a gallon of vegetable oil. It was essentially inedible! Honestly - everyone else at the table (non-vegans) didn't seem too into their food either. Definitely could use some improvements in my opinion. read more

Everything was amazing and we enjoyed the food, ambience, and service! Next time we are in town, we will for sure go back!

Lovely lunch at a Mom & Pop spot! My friend and I were staying across the street and heard good things about Azteca. Upon entry we were swiftly greeted and led to a table. I ordered Enchiladas Suizas and it was delicious! I scarfed it down, including the rice and beans! The chips and salsa were tasty as well. The salsa was very flavorful. One star down for the margarita, however, but only because it was just average in flavor. Coming from Texas where I've had my fair share of Mexican fare, I'd love to return! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive as well. read more

Had a craving for some tacos and Yelp pointed us to Azteca here in Fraser. The wife and I were happy we made this choice. The service was fine, the food was pretty good, the Margaritas were very good. We got right in, which in this day and age is always appreciated. Our server was quite attentive and actually got everything correct. We each had a 3 item combo plate and truly enjoyed everything. The food was tasty and served on very hot platters; just the way we liked things. Azteca would definitely be on our favorites list if we lived in the area. A very nice little eatery to be sure; we felt quite at home. read more

This restaurant was VERY busy - which is a great sign for a family eating establishment on a Sunday evening. Despite there being multiple parties ahead of us, the staff was attentive, kind, and worked as quickly as possible to get us seated. Once seated, the staff was personable and the food was delicious. In a society with so much commercialization, it's great to see a family eating establishment good and strong. read more

Such a great experience! We weren't sure what to expect with the reviews, however we had a wonderful evening. The staff was friendly and we loved Arturo. The salsa was great.

Wasn't the best Mexican food, wasn't the absolutely worst. Food could use a bit of a workover. Food was lukewarm to warm to hot. Party of 8, some enjoyed their food, some didn't. Same with the margarita's. Waiter forgot a few requests. The menu is large and a bit all over the map with accompaniments and pricing. Salsa was lacking flavor but heat from Chile powder (?) made it almost tasty. Wouldn't go back if I'm in the area again. read more

I had the colorado burrito it did not disappoint. Great service, friendly staff we will definitely be back.

This place was really good, the one star reviews are just whiny. Our server Ezequiel was super attentive and we got our food in a reasonable time. The salsa had some kick to it and the mole enchiladas I had were solid! My family got the street tacos, a burrito, and a chicken enchilada and they were all good! read more

Fuego Azteca - Enchiladas de Mole Dona Maria - Mexican Near Me - Fraser, Colorado

The food is good. This review focuses on customer service. First, I was surprised that $4.50 for guacamole produced a very small (salsa type) plastic ramekin. Second, the fajitas normally come with tortillas. Unfortunately, upon arriving home, it was realized that the beautiful fajitas dish came without tortillas. I called the restaurant and was told, "you can come and get it." Honestly, I expected some sort of store credit, offering, or plan to "make it right." I quickly realized that fajitas need tortillas. So, I traveled back to the restaurant, where they handed me four (only four) flour tortillas and an "I'm sorry...here you go." Response could have been better. Again, the food is good, perhaps opportunity for improvement on customer service. read more

The Azteca Mexican Restaurant was a nice surprise. It has an extensive menu at reasonable prices. The Rita's were good and reasonable price at $2.99 for a nice size goblet. It was May 5 so we celebrated Cinco de Mayo here. Wife and I split a fajita order for 1, which came with 4 tortillas ( most restaurants only give your 3). Besides the red sauce with the chips they also include a small dish of coleslaw. Ok, you would not think this is a good dish in a Mexican restaurant ( you normally think of coleslaw & BBQ), but this receipt was a real good twist on the normal slaw you get else where. For a small town place so far north of the Mexican boarded, this place was not a disappointment. I would go back to try other items. Note the pico sauce was spicy. Our waitress was very good. Over all, I would go back and I would recommend this place to other. read more

Great authentic Mexican food. When heading to Grand Lake from Denver, hubby and I always try to stop here.

I had the vegetable and shrimp soup and it was good. They served the usual salsa, chips and guacamole which was decent. All the dishes seems to be oversized if you are looking for a hearty meal and a huge selection on the menu, if you like variety. The prices are reasonable. Not a bad place to come if you like Mexican food. read more
