First off I wanna start this review by apologizing about not taking a picture after I put the food on the plate! I was so hungry I just dove right it! The food was amazing and so fun to eat because who doesn't like eating with their hands right? Anyways the service was great and we didn't have to wait an extraordinary amount of time which is always a plus. The drinks were a huge disappointment unfortunately! The presentation was beautiful but I couldn't tell if there was any alcohol in our drinks because for the margarita it tasted like candy and the michelada tasted like lime water with tajin. The location is decent but there isn't anything stunning about the inside of the restaurant but it is still nice. Overall I would rate this a 3.9 out of 5!

It is a family owned business with the sweetest people. The food came out fast and had amazing flavor. Definitely a place I will revisit. Give these amazing people some love

The result is a flaky, tasteful fish unlike anything else served in Sioux Falls.

This place was a pleasant surprise, being from Southern California I figured I would set the ball…read morelow since we grow up with out of this world Mexican food and it wouldn't be entirely fair to judge it the same way. But they nailed it on this Sunday! Would have thought I was back at home this place was delicious . The margaritas were beautifully crafted, the table side guacamole lady is hard to find and so refreshing, she nailed it, so good. Each dish was delicious, Sioux Falls is definitely lucky to have this quality Mexican restaurant. Well done Plaza Azteca.

After I got there, I looked up the health department reviews on Yelp. Let's just say they weren't…read moreencouraging. By that point I was already seated and committed, but that's something I wish I'd checked beforehand. Because of that, I intentionally ordered something that would come out hot. Wasn't about to order a salad or anything that didn't need to be cooked. So I ordered the fajitas with chicken, steak, and shrimp. You know how fajitas are supposed to come out sizzling on a hot plate? These didn't. They weren't cold, but you could definitely tell everything had been sitting back there for an extended amount of time. They didn't taste fresh at all. And it gets worse. Every time I've ordered fajitas with cheese and bacon anywhere else, you get solid melted cheese and crispy bacon. Here? Runny cheese sauce and bacon that had zero crispiness to it. The whole thing was a mess. The meat portions? Ok the pieces were cut up small. I was picking through all the vegetables and onions trying to find actual pieces of chicken and steak. A lot of peppers and onions. The Verdict: Plaza Azteca was a miss. The margaritas were decent but the fajitas were a lukewarm, runny, disappointing mess with small pieces of meat. Combine that with odd service and some concerning health reviews, and this is a two star experience at best. Won't be going back.

Stopped for lunch with a friend. She had the steak quesadilla and I had an order of chicken…read moreflautas. Food arrived super fast. Both had amazing flavors. Service was excellent. The waiter was super friendly and helpful dividing the bill at the end. Decor is on point and seating was nice. Men's bathroom was clean and well maintained.

4.4* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4*…read more Service: 4* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $29 07/05/2026 We needed to make a stop at the Walmart in Sioux Falls while driving through, so looked for a restaurant nearby for dinner. We were both in the mood for Mexican, this was very close and the ratings looked good. The bar looked impressive as we walked in and after we were seated, we started with 24oz Margaritas (see picture) to accompany our free chips, salsa & white sauce (see picture). While the Margaritas were quite large, we both commented that they seemed a bit weak on the alcohol (or it is possible that they used Reposado tequila with less flavor). My wife decided to order the Combo #2 (pork tamale, ground beef enchilada & ground beef hard shell taco - see picture) while I went with the street tacos - Carnitas (pulled pork), Pollo (chicken) & Al Pastor (spit-roasted pork). We both enjoyed the Combo, with my favorite part being the pork tamale. I'm a big fan of corn tortilla street tacos and found them all to be very good - but my favorite was the Al Pastor. A quick Google search indicated that Al Pastor is a spit-roasted pork influenced by Lebanese shawarma - marinated and then cooked on a vertical rotisserie. This carmelizes the edges, resulting in a savory, tangy and slightly sweet flavor. Whatever the science...I found it delicious! If you found this review helpful, please Share, Follow & Like.
