Such a shame when you have a horrible waiter. Don't know his name. Wavy brown hair, mustache. Went there with my now grown kids and my wife. Was to be a nostalgic birthday dinner for my son but our waiter had to be a dud. We used to come to this restaurant when the kids were young and sit out on their patio and always had a pleasant experience. This dud took a while to get to our table and when he got there, I don't remember exactly what he said but it was something to the effect of "do you know what you want to order?". Not even a hello I am such and such... Just the basics would've been fine, I don't care. But as soon as I heard him say this I thought, 'oh crap, this is probably not going to be great'. Both my wife and I and my kids have worked in restaurants and we're not critical at all. We are very patient and understanding but this guy totally ruined our time. My daughter in law asked for a bowl to mix her fajita fixings in because she can't have tortillas due to the wheat so she just kind of makes a salad and he made her feel like an idiot for asking. My daughter didn't see exactly what she wanted on the menu so she asked for just a plain bean and cheese and rice burrito and they brought it out covered with sauce. She hates sauce. I asked if they could do another without the sauce and he said they all come that way and they would have to charge us For another. I protested and Then he said he would ask the manager. The manager came over and took care of it very well and they made my daughter a new one and did not charge. I wish the manager would've taken over our table at that point. When taking a special order generally you would ask do you want it dry or wet? You wouldn't tell the customer that all your burritos come that way take it or leave it basically. Not sure what business he has being a waiter there but you will likely know it if you get him and hopefully the management might see that he is not good for their business. No refills of a couple sodas or waters or chips and didn't even come to check on us to see if all was good. Ran over to us later as I think he knew we weren't happy with him and just said 'do you want your check?' I won't go back. Food was OK but any compliment there was overshadowed by the very poor service and poor attitude of the waiter. read more

Great authentic Mexican food. Quick service on a Saturday night and staff was very kind and helpful

We ordered takeout after a long day of skiing. The food was on time. Most of the food was your average American Mexican. The salsa was especially tasty. The tamale had barely any discernible pork in it. Not too generous with sauces on enchilada and tamale. As long as you don't have super high expectations, you will have an OK meal here. read more

Health Risk: uncooked ground beef served to our family. Horribly slow service. Understaffed. Left customers waiting. Good chips and salsa. Excellent margaritas, $4.50 each at happy hour, too. Just don't get dinner and you'll be fine. read more

Fuego Azteca - Undercooked ground beef. Immune system: challenged - Mexican Near Me - Fraser, Colorado

My husband and I had dinner there back in December 2021 and had a bad experience with the food and service. The food is not authentic Mexican food at all. We ordered a chicken burrito which seemed to have all the vegetables they could find in the kitchen; celery in a burrito, moreover, when it was not even part of the ingredients as described on the menu??? The tortilla soup was barely hot and tasteless. The service was horrible; I can tell the waiter didn't want to be there. He was rushing (pretending to be busy) and with an attitude. Instead, when we needed something, we called on another waiter who was much friendlier. On our way out, we complained to the hostess. Our original waiter ignored our comments and the other friendlier waiter ended up apologizing on behalf of the other waiter. read more

Hostess said they had been really busy all day, and they needed a break. First time I have ever heard of a restaurant closing early because they were busy and the staff tired. read more

My family loves this spot. Always got a good crowd for a reason. Good margaritas and a menu with something for everyone.

The kitchen here is a pandemic star. We went early on Friday evening and immediately had a table outside. Yes, things are a tad slow because it's so hard for restaurants to staff right now. But the margaritas, chips and salsa held us and the food was worth the wait! My husband, who is NEVER happy with his food in a restaurant, declared the Macho burrito to be the best food he's ever had that I did not cook. (Or, something like that.) On top of it all, we didn't even spend $50 in one of Colorado's most overpriced restaurant neighborhoods. Please go, keep them in business. read more

The atmosphere in the restaurant is amazing. I had the enchiladas de mole and they were awesome, the homemade sauce is the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. I would recommend this to anyone passing through town. read more

Seriously, what kind of Mexican restaurant is closed on Taco Tuesday?? We love this place, and have been planning all day to go tonight. We are beyond sad that they are closed today. read more

Love this place. Mexican pizza is a must; chips and salsa are great too. We had one of the 3 item plates and the taco salad. Great place for after a 6 miles hike. read more

Wonderful family restaurant. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. The pollo en mole and pollo azado plates were very tasty. Fresh pico de gallo had some kick! Loved it. read more

I have visited Azteca dozens of times and every single time the food has been fantastic. The staff are always nice and the food tastes like authentic tex-mex which is what the restaurant intended to be. I highly recommend the chile relleno, and make sure to ask for a bowl of queso with your chips. read more

A great location that serves delicious food! Everything was fresh, authentic and the flan is not to be missed! Our server, Amado, was a top notch server, very polite and kind. We will definitely go back and will request this polite, efficient young man! read more

Really good food, nice service. I have tried different plates since I have been there two times on winter times and nothing to be disappointed. Service is a bit slow but good. read more

Recommend by the hotel, Azteca was awesome. Service was friendly and informative. Taco salad was very tasty. Sour cream and homemade guacamole were included. Yummy. The Azteca burger was the best burger I've had in a while. Toasted bun, bacon, grilled onions and mushrooms were all cooked perfectly. We will be back. read more

SO BAD worst mexican food ever nothing is homemade, everything came from a can i couldn't eat more than two bites of my food it was so bad

I live literally right next to this place and would rather go hungry than take my money the 30 second walk over to exchange it for absolute rubbish. read more

This location for Azteca had alright food, but however there was subjects that went below the line as we ordered an order of beef Nachos and as we were eating we found hair on it. But this was one of 3 problems, as we also got the Azteca burrito and ordered with green Chile on top and as we dug into it we noticed that it was dry, so we asked for any way to to get some more free of charge as it was in the order, but we could not and we would be charged, and when we wanted manager assistance we were not able to get that as well because there wasn't one. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant while staying in town for the holiday weekend. We had no plans on stopping for dinner but got into town later than we expected. The food was good! We've been to several places in Mexico and I found that most of the time when people don't like Mexican food it's because it is too authentic for them. Most of us are used to American Mexican or Texas Mexican food. Haha. I found this place to be a nice in-between. What made me actually make this review is the fact that the service was good particularly in light of a real d-bag that was sitting at the table behind us. Someone in his family wasn't feeling well and they ended up leaving. The waiter very kindly explained that he couldn't take the alcohol with him because it's illegal. The waiter was so apologetic and even said I can go check again (to see if he could take the alcohol to go). I could hardly believe my ears and thought I must be in an episode of "what would you do"!!!! he says to the waiter in the most d-bag, white guy tone (and I'm white so don't lose your sh*t)- "yeah, you do that. That's what I pay you for!" Long story short the waiter comes back again and apologizes and says it's not allowed and the guy says "I'm a local, I'm not coming back, it's your loss". Then as the waiter turns his back to walk away, he grabs the drink and walks out anyway leaving his 5ish year old kid scrambling at the table, trying to get up and follow him out! We were sitting there with our kids and all of them were open-mouthed in shock because even my 6 year olds to 12 year olds knew that the guy was being an a***hole. My twelve-year-old said "wow, is that what you mean when you say we're acting entitled?" Come to this restaurant and I'm sure you'll like it. If you happen to come across this local- the main topic of this review, tell him to quit acting like a jerk. But hey- thanks for teaching my kids a life lesson- when you act like an a**, people notice. Special kudos to the waiter who remained the utmost professional in spite of sheer nastiness. read more

We were pleasantly surprised when we rolled this restaurant in a cold and rainy August day to find the best hot cocoa in Colorado! The staff is super nice too! read more

Well first of all TAKE THE SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE SERIOUS!! well its rude. So my experience started with Waitress Jade. (Ticket). I went with my sister and her husband and my family. We where a party of 8. When I asked the lady to separate our bills her response was unfortunately she can't. When asked why she said due to food coming out together she needed to get everything in one ticket. That's the lamest shit I've heard!! As she was saying that I was staring at my sisters drink with her husband that where out and it took her 10 plus mins to bring mine and my kids. I know she did it to get the automatic tip. Well with her service im glad she took it out because I would of never tipped her. 18% lol too much for her bitchy attitude. I still got helped by the hostess on getting to go cups because Jade never stopped by to ask if everything was ok. I live in Denver but I know as a tourist will never go back or recommend going. There is a few other places to eat.... stay away!!! Food was a bit salty to my taste. Great prices! Cheap too but I guess you get what you pay for. read more

I really want to give five stars because I love the Granby location but I have received cool/cold food multiple times. BUT I still love the food every time. Portions are great for the prices. read more

I don't know why there were any bad reviews regarding the service. We had a great experience tonight and the service was fantastic. Our waiter, Arturo, was super friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. As a vegetarian, they were super accommodating. Will definitely come back! read more

An enormous portion of truly incredible Mexican cuisine. You can feel the love and care in your dish. Service is just grand, very kind and friendly staff. Interior is very nice and music was so great. I will be coming back here every time I'm in Fraser. Wonderful place. read more

I can be very forgiving when it comes to food that isn't prepared the right way or tastes like it should. I don't like to give one star reviews unless absolutely necessary. But this restaurant, earned a one star review. My experience began with us being sat next to the bathroom doors, the entire time we sat at the table we had other customers constantly go in and out and stand next to our table if the bathroom was busy. It was terrible, no social distancing at that table. Now let's talk about the food, I ordered red chili enchiladas, the presentation was OK except the sauce used on the enchiladas was obviously out of a can. None of the food was fresh everything was microwaved everything came out of a can. Nothing was authentic, nothing was homemade. Nothing about this restaurant was good, absolutely nothing. Stay away don't waste your money and skip Mexican food if that's what you were craving or go somewhere else. read more

This is one of the beat Mexican restaurants I've ever been to! The smell when u walk in, seated immediately, waiter immediately with warm chips and smoky house salsa. Queso is a must! House made marg is top notch! Huge menu! read more

Mediocre food at reasonable price. I have to say that I haven't had such a bad waitress in a long time. I asked for a menu and she walked away and said scan the QR code. When she came back I asked for paper menus and in another 10 minutes she dropped off one and left. Another 5 minutes and I asked for another menu for my son. By the time I ordered a group that came after us were already eating. They weren't even very busy. Now for the food. I should know better than ordering ceviche in Colorado. The Octopus was not the freshest, which is a big deal when it isn't cooked in ceviche. The beef burrito was dig and tasted pretty good. The platters are large and a good value, just don't buy the fish! read more

Amazing service .. can't decide what I want to drink more .. the queso or Margaritas.. both are bomb this place rules PS Albert is the maaan! read more

I'm not going to speak for anyone else in my party, but this was the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had at a restaurant. Most fast food Mexican food would be better. I ordered street tacos, I like street tacos and have ordered them many places, but these were horribly done: onions, onions and more onions. Asked for them to be replaced by two simple chicken tacos. These were also poorly done. Would never recommend this place. read more

The service was quick and friendly. The food was reasonably priced, the portions were big, and the queso fundido was especially good.

Do you like to wait a long time for service? Do you enjoy food staff sticking their fingers into your dish? Do you crave the hostility with a side of irritation to come from your servers? Do you love Taco Bell so much that if you don't go to Taco Bell, you want to go to a place that is just LIKE Taco Bell? If your answer to any of these questions is "yes," then this place is for you! Otherwise, go elsewhere. Literally. ANYWHERE else. Sushi at a gas station would probably be a safer bet. Our experience began when my friend and I walked in to secure us a table (there were four of us total, with two medium-sized dogs). We were starving and wanted a place to eat before heading a 1.5hr+ back home. They have a decent sized patio section, so we asked if we could possibly have a table near the edge, so we could tie our dogs to the OUTSIDE of the dining area (away from other guests), but still not have them sit in the hot car. The person who "greeted" us was giving us an unnecessarily hard time about that. Fine, not everyone likes dogs, so we'll let that one slide. While the rest of the party sat down, I went to use the restroom. At the point when I came back to the table, it had been 5-7minutes after we were seated and I asked the table if they already brought up menus. Which they hadn't. Again, as a reasonable person, I would expect there to be slower service if the place was busy. There was one other table sitting outside with us and two inside. And they already had their meals, so I am not sure what was so important that it delayed us getting the menus. Especially, since we were already served the chips and salsa before even having a menu in our hands. Ok, fine. So I went to the front and got them myself. Ten or so minutes later (again...WHAT is taking you so long?), the server shows up with the most annoyed look on his face and asks us what we want. We ordered some queso, my friend ordered a quesadilla, her husband a burrito, and I got a "two tacos small dish." Nowhere was there presented a choice of meat I could have on my tacos, so I assumed (my mistake, I guess?) that it would be like any other Mexican restaurant, so I asked for Carne Asada. The waiter frowned and said "you can't have that." "So...what ARE my choices?" "Chicken, shredded pork(extra charge) or ground beef." "Beef it is, then!" We should have left when we saw that the queso was actually runnier than soup. But we carried on. Then the waiter came back with our meals... The "two taco" dish that I got literally looked like they got two tacos from Taco Bell, dumped some refried beans from a can on the plate, and put some expired cabbage salad (literally a TEASPOON of it) in there for "decoration." When I say that these tacos looked like "Taco Bell" tacos, I am not exaggerating. Never have I been to a Mexican restaurant (or a restaurant that claims to be Mexican) that served their tacos on a crunchy shell (except Taco Bell), unless specifically asked. The inside of the taco had ground beef, lettuce, and cheese (sound familiar, Taco Bell lovers?). Lucky for me, I do enjoy Taco Bell, so I was okay eating the first taco. But it tasted off, so I could no longer continue on to the second one. The beans looked like they were from a can, so I felt safe enough eating those (it's sad when you feel safer eating beans from a can than restaurant food...). Not one person at our table finished their food, as it tasted quite subpar. So...the questionable food goes well with the bad service. Lucky for us, they were quick to bring the bill and we got out of there quickly. As we were pulling out of the parking lot, I saw the busser woman clean our table and put chips/salsa on the table for the next group as they were heading over. What that group didn't see, however, was the fact that the woman dipped her finger in the salsa, then flicked it off on the table, then wiped it off. So...for all we know, we could have been eating salsa that has had every food servers' fingers in it. All in all - avoid if possible. read more

Fuego Azteca - My Taco Bell tacos, refried beans from a can, and questionable, odd tasting cabbage "salad." Yep...that thing on the side near the beans... - Mexican Near Me - Fraser, Colorado

Man! The service here during the post-Covid slump is frankly amazing. They just bring the parties in, seat them and make it work! The food is as delicious as ever - if you're looking for creatively traditional Tex-Mex, this is the place!!! read more

The service here is awful! Waited so long for food and my sons food was burnt! No water refills my husband asked for salsa and never got it. My margarita was good. Had to beg to get the bill so we could leave! read more

I think the food just got better after they have been closed during mud season. My Tacos Mexacli improved- the quality of the steak and they had more steak in the tacos were so delicious. Oh and the place was remodeled with new tables and chairs. I really like Azteca! read more

So lets just say that you are in Winter Park. And lets just say you can barely walk because you're not as young as you used to be and Drunken Frenchman has been especially rude to you today. And lets just say if you eat one more meal at Hernando's you will dream about being suffocated by customer decorated dollar bills. But you need a drink and food would be a nice bonus. Azteca is a really nice alternative. The staff is very attentive and friendly. And despite the menu being ridiculously large most everything is a solid A. The salsa has a bit of a kick as does the guac and the margaritas are very smooth. To be honest, I can only say that the first two are smooth, the last couple could have been donkey piss and I wouldn't know. So I guess my "smooth" comment is more like an homage to Lee Marvin (Google him - that's a funny joke). Overall its a nice change of pace from that basic fare in the Fraser valley - which is not known as a gourmand mecca. read more

Our dining experience is from the Winter Park location. We had a recommendation to try this from a source in the Denver area and happened to be in WP. Glad we stopped by as we have been on a quest to find good Mexican food in the SE burbs of the Metro area without much success in the past couple of years. I will echo the comments from the other highly rated reviewers. Prompt and attentive service, plenty of tasty chips with great salsa and the two dishes we had were both very good. Will be on our list of places to go when hungry in Grand County. read more
