After recently having a blah Mexican meal on vacation, I was still in the mood for Mexican, so when we got home with nothing in the refrigerator, off we went to Azteca. We have also wanted to try this place since we moved here (since it's pretty close to home). And I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised. Yes, we were surprised by the ranch dressing that came with the chips and salsa, but it wasn't really that bad. The menu is very extensive and it was hard deciding what to order, so I settled on something I have enjoyed in the past--tacos al pastor with a side of refried beans (just to test them out, you know). Hubby got the fish tacos with a side of rice and a cheese enchilada. Oh year, we also got the cheese dip. So, we got the cheese dip within about two minutes--already a big step above the last place, which took about 10 minutes to get. We had waters immediately, too. Our waiter was nice, but you could definitely tell he wasn't that comfortable with English. Which really isn't that big of a deal...except that my margarita wasn't good AT ALL but I honestly didn't want to try to explain that with the language barrier. It just had no margarita taste to it--and what taste there was was somehow off. I know I should have said something, but I just didn't. Other than that, the food was all really good. I enjoyed my tacos and beans and hubby enjoyed his tacos, rice, and enchilada. We will definitely add this place to our rotation and are looking forward to going back. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the fast service and the great food. They were surprisingly slow for a Saturday afternoon, so the waiter came over every two minutes or so asking if we were ready to order, which was a bit much. We both got lunch combos and added in the white cheese sauce, and while it was an extra charge it was amazing. We both enjoyed our food and will definitely be back! read more

Grand Azteca V - Lunch Combo #5 - Mexican Near Me - Troy, Michigan

The menu has changed...the rice and beans are not as good as they were before however the rest of the food and the service is still top notch. This will continue to be my go to for great Mexican food as long as nothing else changes with the merger read more

Best Mexican restaurant in the area hands down! Wait staff is friendly and courteous every time we eat there. Food is hot and extremely fast, no more than a 8 minute wait. We normally go there at off peak hours to avoid crowds - not sure if there are we just do not like waiting around. Cheese dip (queso) is to die for we get a bowl and put it on all of our food. Chicken Enchiladas, Chicken Chimichanga & Chicken Fajitas are normally what we get, they all are really good. read more

We were driving around looking for a place to eat and saw this place, so we decided to give it a try. They have a pretty big menu and lots of drink choices (including several alcoholic concoctions). We only had the iced tea and both had the grilled chicken dinners. I had the Pollo Loco (grilled chicken with grilled onions) and my wife tried the Pollo Azteca (grilled chicken with ranchero sauce) - both included beans and rice. Both meals were excellent and there was so much we had leftovers for lunch the next day. We also enjoyed the complementary chips and salsa. So good! One problem was the table of four extremely intoxicated people seated near us. They probably should have been cut off long before we got there, but they were still being served drinks. They were being very loud and made it hard to carry on a conversation. Other than this, our visit to this location was great. read more

This is my favorite Mexican in the area! I wish they had one in Royal oak. I always order the enchilada combination plate. Always more than enough food with complimentary chips and salsa. The carry out and dine in service is always excellent. Be sure to order the white salsa- it's like a mix of ranch and sour cream. So good read more

Azteca used to be our go to spot for Mexican food, that is until this whole "taco express" merger thing they have going on now. Their tacos used to be the best around until this merger, or whatever they are calling it. Very disappointed. Bring back the old tacos! read more

Try the Molcajete (in mixed menu section) it is very good! One of the best Mexican dishes I have found in the area. So much more flavor than most Mexican dishes around here. Needless to say we were happy that we finally gave Gran Azteca a shot. Other than the Molcajete: -Their tamales are quite nice - flan is very good read more

Usually go to the Azteca on 14 Mike Road, but this location was on way home from work. Called before 4:30 to place a carry out order - person answering the phone did not identify place. When I said I wanted to place a carry out, they hung up on me. I called them back, same "hello" no identifier. Placed order. They did not take my name/number. Said "15/20 minutes" and hung up. Went to pick up - place was dead. No one at counter. When they did show up I told them what I had ordered but the order taker did not get my name - luckily there were only two orders waiting to be picked up. I ordered the enchiladas rancheras which is what always order at 14 Mile location. My food was cold. Chips were greasy. There was hardly any pork in the dish - mostly onions and peppers. Very poor quality and service. WILL NOT EAT/ORDER FROM LONG LAKE LOCATION EVER AGAIN!! read more

Conveniently located with ample parking. The place is small, but cozy and has extremely attractive and colorful interior décor. The menu selections are quite extensive as are the drinks from the bar. They even have a kids menu and a section in the menu for those that are not that familiar with Mexican food(burrito, enchilada, fajita, etc.) defining what they are. The prices are very reasonable and they give large portions of food with a lot of meat. The service is lightning fast and the staff really hustles to ensure you get what you need immediately. Ricardo, our waiter, was exceptional. There might be more "upscale" or "trendy" places around, but if you want a great Mexican meal at a great price, then this is it. read more

Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. They used to be good, now they are excellent! Cozy ambiance a great service.

Have been ordering frequntly thru doordash as the food is amazing! The churros get better every time. This time they're filled with strawberry jelly and topped off with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. The burritos are great as well. Glad to find good Mexican food in Troy. read more

This place sucks. Bad service, bland food (gray fajitas), and it's expensive. Forget it. Ordered a margarita, never got it. Asked for more water, never got it. Asked for a carry out container, never got it. Had to ask again for water, and got a partially filled glass. Got my own take out container. The F it's going on here? read more

We come here about every other week. The staff is always fantastic! There margaritas are delicious and have plenty of booze in them. Their shrimp dishes are always great with huge portions. We really enjoy the chips and salsa. Happy hour on the weekend rocks! read more

This is a disgrace to the Mexican people!!! The cheese they use is not the normal cheese you make enchiladas with, which is queso fresco! They're using what looks like some nasty and tasteless white fake American cheese!!! I love enchiladas and not for once I ever left enchiladas untouched because of not being good... till today!!!! My co/worker got tacos and said the the cheese was nasty and the beef tasteless!!! Gross just gross!!! Thanks but no thanks, I won't be eating at your chain of restaurants any time in the next 50 years!!! read more

Was looking forward to an authentic Mexican meal but what I got was a fast food version of a Mexican knockoff. The beef was seasoned with salt and no spice. The portion for a dinner meal was pathetic. The only reason for the 2nd star was that the food came to the table quickly. read more

I don't go here as often as I used to because I kind of wore it out... and I was exposed to the scrumptious Mexican restaurants in Southwest Detroit, but if I don't feel like going all the way down there, this is probably one of your best options in the burbs. It's cheap, quick and they have a very friendly wait staff, even if they don't know english! My bf and I would always start out with their bowl of bean/cheese appetizer... with a lil hot sauce and lemon mixed it, it was mouth watering, and a TRUE pallet teaser! We would always pick from the 1-31 combo dinner menu. I could never seem to get away from #1 (two enchiladas and a taco w/ rice or beans), and the #4 was my bf's favorite pick (beef and cheese tostada, enchilada and taco with rice). Their salsa is really fresh and tasty too. I remember a few years ago when they weren't as popular, they used to have 2 combo dinners for $6.99 coupon... that's when we were still in college and broke and it was the best dinner deal we'd ever found. Now the same coupon is $10.99 and we are graduated and still broke! Something's gotta give! LOL anyways, still worth a visit. And I hear they have a Mariachi band on Wednesday nights? I would like to check that out one day. read more

I was so pissed that the restaurant did not deliver the correct food. And when trying to speak to them, they could not speak or understand English. We never were able to get it corrected and ended up cancelling the charge for the wrong food. The 2 orders were missing the main ingredients and including a corn tortilla which was not part of the ingredients described. I hate corn tortillas. Missing the rellenos which was the main ingredients. The hostess should have better command of English. read more

Went to this place for lunch and it was really good food for a fair price!! Atmosphere was spartan but nice. Service arrived promptly and brought us some yummy chips and salsa. I had the lunch special of beef enchiladas, which were very good. Watch out for ordering pop as it costs $2.50 for a glass. All in all, this is a very good Mexican restaurant that I look forward to returning to soon. read more

I go to Grand Azteca about once a month or so. The food is of a higher quality than other surrounding Mexican restaurants I have tried. They also have far more vegetarian options than their competitors (important to me). They are very reasonably priced and they have good service. Totally authentic? Probably not. A good choice in this area (especially for a vegetarian)? Yes. read more

I've been looking for a good Mexican restaurant for a while. This place really hit the spot. I could tell from the smells and the food on people's tables that this was exactly the kind of place I was looking for. This isn't high end, but the food was quite good. read more

Wonderful Mexican Food! Went here for a lunch and I expected from pictures that it might be dirty, however it was very clean and very well kept. Our table was served immediately with delicious chips and salsa. The menu was unbelievably large and flexible (great for picky eaters). The service was very polite and the food came out quicker than lightning. The food was fresh, authentic, and hot. On top of it all, the prices were also great. read more

This place pops off! All the waiters were very kind and the food was extremely tasty. The atmosphere was very chill and some elegant torches were installed while we ate; only adding to the ambience. Furthermore, I would definitely pull up again. read more

I'm a big fan of Grand Azteca and Troy's is the Grandest of all. Very speedy service so you need to slow down and smell the roses...and enjoy the muy bueno salsa. Enchiladas and tamales are my fav. read more

Chimichangas were OK. Decor inside is cool. But who seriously serves ranch with tortilla chips? read more

Authentic food and rustic decor. I was initially afraid that this restaurant would not have the same magic that the previous tennant, a Denny's restaurant, would have. Azteca has the crispiest taco shells, strongest drinks, and best service in town. This is my go to! read more

Ordered a carry out from this location today, and wow. Food is terrible! Totally under seasoned, tiny portions. Nothing like the other Azteca locations. Called up and explained to them the situation, and they weren't very helpful. I'd take Taco Bell over this establishment. read more

I been to this location several times now. time and time again it has proven to provide the most authentic Mexican food in Detroit metro area. When you step into the restaurant you just feel like you are in Mexico, with the colorful wall paintings, the festive decorations and the authentic Mexican music constantly playing. You can definitely tell that the owners have put a lot of effort into the decoration from the ceiling to the table tops ( which have a very unique Aztec picture on them). The environment just makes you want to grab a margarita and relax. The food is just as unique and authentic as the environment. The chips and the two sauces that the servers welcome you with are fresh and very delicious, specially the Mexican ranch ( white sauce). The chips are served warm and the sauces have always had a very fresh homemade taste to them. The servers are very friendly and really know the menu if you happen to not know what something has. The food comes out super fast and fresh. Unlike other restaurant where the food takes a long time to come and it doesn't even look appetizing. The food comes quick and fresh to the table and you can definitely tell it was made right then and there. My favorite dish is either the fajitas, which come in a steaming, sizzling hot plate that just makes the whole restaurant smell so delicious, or molcajote. The molcajote is a dish that is served in a stone bowl, sizzling hot and very delicious. The dish consisted of melted cheese, carnitas, chicken, chorizo, shrimp, tomatoes, onions and green pepper. It comes with the side of rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and Guacamole. The cheese literally is boiling off the bowl! Highly recommended. Along with having such a great variety of dishes they also have a large arrange of drinks, from smoothies to their very famous house/Texan margaritas. They definitely compliment their dishes. I have really enjoyed their food and service and they are by far the most authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. Highly recommended. read more

This is our go to spot for Mexican food in Troy and Sterling Heights. All locations are great. We probably eat here about 3 times per month. We usually start with the cheese dip - try it! I usually get fajitas or enchiladas. Their mixed fajitas are great, and I always have leftovers! read more

Well i guess i shouldn't have had high expectations when i found the $4.99 lunch special coupon but this isn't far from my office so my coworker and i went there today for lunch. The restaurant was empty except for 1 other table when we arrived at 2 pm. We were seated and brought warm chips, good salsa and an odd but tasty ranch dip. There is a huge language barrier here which is understandable but got to be a little frustrating. First, i asked the server if we could both use my coupon, although i did have 2 just in case. He did not understand the question at all and kept pointing to the menu. After trying to ask the same question about 6 times with no clear answer, we gave up and ordered. I chose lunch special #1 and my coworker chose #10. The food literally came out in less than 5 minutes except the server thought my coworker said 2, not 10, but the kitchen remade her dish in about 2 minutes no joke! I do appreciate fast service but this really just tells me the food is pre made and warmed up in a microwave. My chile relleno was very good, the beef taco was ok, the beans were also just ok, the "guacamole salad" was really just lettuce, tomatoes, and a spoonful of guac. Overall the food was kind of bland, my coworker agreed that hers was too. I probably won't rush to go here again and if i do, i wont be ordering a lunch special. read more

Best Mexican around. I love this place. I've tried the burrito, quesadilla, and fajita all wonderful.

The food was decent and the wait staff were nice. The price was decent. What more can I say? Will be coming back! I really liked the chips and salsa that we got to much on as appetizers! read more

After reading the reviews we decided to give the Azteca a try. The staff was friendly but as another reviewer noted, English is not their first language. My wife's ability to speak Spanish helped when we asked the server for a slight modification to our order. The chips with Ranch(?) dressing were so great we didn't even try the salsa. We split an order of chimichangas and they were excellent. Definitely would stop again when we are in the area. read more

Food is good, staff is nice, unfortunately they can't seem to get carryout orders right, they do offer you a free meal to make it up but then refuse to give you the free 'make-up' dish when you call back to use it ... this is the 3rd time we were given the wrong order ... will have to find another restaurant read more

Based upon my first trip to Grand Azteca for dinner this evening, I think that the current cumulative rating here on yelp of 3.5 stars is actually just about right. Real nice ambiance in the restaurant, fun Mexicano music playing, interesting artwork on the tables, a menu loaded with all sorts of interesting possibilities, and what appeared to be a culturally fitting staff for a Mexican establishment made it feel genuine. The chips on the table were warm and crisp, not too salty, and the salsa and dip were just fine to start things off. The waitress seemed a bit awkward, just 'off' somehow, but regardless, she took our orders and got the meal right when it was served up. Appetizer nacho platter was big and messy and yummy with some real nice guacamole. I got a big beef burrito and it came with rice and beans and there were two of them on my plate and they were covered with lettuce and tomatoes and sour cream so that I couldn't really see what was down there since I had to dig through - but they were yummy and beefy enough when I found them, and there was a lot of it. Hot sauce on the table was nice and hot! Diet Coke with lemon was icy, well carbonated, and cold! Prices were just what a reasonable diner would expect all things considered. Room for improvement with meal presentation, and perhaps speed of service, but I walked out full and satisfied and with a smile on my face. read more

We love Azteca in Troy! It is the best Mexican restaurant in the area! It's my daughters favorite! She always gets the cheese quesadilla! We eat here so much you would think we don't have a kitchen!
