    I loved the service it was amazing and it was very preppy and it was very authentic to Mexican culture.

    A family owned business and probably the most authentic Mexican food in the Fargo Moorhead area. Stumbled upon this place after I overheard some coworkers rave about it. A daily special - advertised on their Facebook page - is served up during the week. On the weekend, they have breakfast tacos. Not being local to the FM area, I am yet to try the breakfast tacos. Lunch, however, with colleagues has happened a few times in the last month. Most people take their food to go, as there is no seating here. The last time I drove by it looked like there were some picnic tables in the parking lot, so that might be an option for some. Now on to the main substance - the food. Everything is prepared in house and is fresh. I've had the tacos and enchiladas - and both are flavorful and hit the spot. Also, the rice is absolutely the best. If you are in the FM area and are looking for a quick and flavorful lunch to go this is the place.

    Best Mexican around. I love getting the daily lunch special - highlight of my day. The tortillas are amazing. Get a side of green sauce!

    Breakfast tacos were good, but I was surprised and disappointed that they make their own tortillas, but only flour, not corn.

    The best Mexican food I've had in this city. They got the taste down to a science.

    Such good Mexican! Kids eat for free on Sundays! We moved from Colorado, home of Mexican food and…read morethis is the best place in ND that we've tried so far!! Definitely come!

There were a few things that happened on this visit that if corrected I think could have made it a five star experience. We arrived with a party of 5 and two kids. One not old enough to eat and one about 4. We waited a bit longer at the front than was expected, with people noting us but no one coming to help -- and this may be them being short staffed. When we got staff they didn't ask about a chair for the kiddo or booster seat (we considered the former but made a chair work). They had no coloring or activity book for the kids to do, which was hard. They had TVs which semi helped but we were far from them. We ordered and two of us are dairy free and one is gluten free. When ordering the shrimp tacos they arrived with no cheese but the sauce on top was not written on the menu that it was on there and our server did not inform us even after hearing no dairy. This was easily preventable and a little frustrating but overall something a person with allergies is used to. She did get our meals remade quickly and without dairy which was super nice. Diana was kind and also extremely diligent about waters, dishes and refills. She also ordered our kids meal immediately which was helpful and answered questioned we had. I will definitely be back without kiddos to because the tacos were so good, the sauce that came on the side of the shrimp tacos was spicy, yet flavorful.

The place was loud and busy when we walked in, though that seemed to be part of the atmosphere. There's also quite a bit of outdoor seating available. The menu is pretty standard for what you'd expect from a Midwest Mexican restaurant. One difference is that they make fresh guac tableside. Caveat emptor: you do pay extra for this. The complimentary chips come with three different dips, which was a nice touch. Not sure what the rest of our party ordered, but I had the Fiesta Bowl and it was delish.

The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the service was quick and friendly. I started with the blueberry margarita, and it was so good -- super refreshing and packed with flavor. For my meal, I ordered the Burrito Mex and subbed shrimp. It was delicious, even though I originally thought it would be more of a handheld burrito -- it wasn't, but the flavor made up for it! The rice and beans were amazing, perfectly seasoned, and the queso was incredibly good too. Honestly, everything on the plate hit the spot. We also ordered guacamole before our meals, and they made it right at the table, which was such a fun touch. It came out super fresh and customizable, just how we like it. Overall, Plaza Azteca was a great experience!!
