Simply excellent Mexican food, No frills quality food at reasonable prices

The best Mexican in the area. They are consistently quick and the food is always delicious. The super fajita quesadilla is my go to and you can't go wrong with the table chips and salsa. I love this place!! read more

I love this place! Every meal that we have eaten here has been awesome. And the portions are so large, I always have food for the next day's lunch. Staff is great and responsive. All around, one of my favorite local restaurants. read more

Food was terrible, expensive and sloppy. All of the food was watered down. I try not to give negative reviews,but if u want AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD go to #3Brothersgrill read more

The food is authentic delicious Mexican. However it lacks greatly in the customer service area. After we were essentially abandoned at a booth after a shift change we vowed only to do takeout. That leads me to my most recent disappointing experience, another customer and I stood at the front waiting to pick up our orders and waited for over 10 minutes without seeing any of the employees. We heard people in the kitchen talking and messing around, when she finally came out it was another 10 minutes for her to bring my food out when I had called 45 minutes prior given a estimated 15 minutes. read more

I'm not much on Mexican but this place is by far way better than most places around. Better than any place in Royersford, Limerick, Collegeville, Trappe. Best for miles around. Don't miss this opportunity! read more

On Friday night we had a hankering for some Mexican grub. Haven't been back to this joint in awhile so we decided this was were we were getting it on. This time, I ordered the enchilada's Aztecas based on our servers suggestion. It's 4 chicken enchiladas topped with refried beans, green chili sauce, sour cream, lettuce, tomato and avocado. Never had a green chili sauce so I was excited to give it a whirl. 10 min or so after I ordered, bam it was on the table. These guys and gals are super quick with the food. Let me tell you, this dish was absolutely outstanding. The chicken was fresh and juicy, the toppings also extremely fresh and flavorful. I couldn't believe that I ate the entire plate. It was that good. To be honest, after only 2 enchiladas I was satisfied, but it was to damn tasty that I couldn't stop. I felt like a glutton, but I don't care. Diet be damned!! If, for some strange reason, you are ever in the Pottstown area and you're looking for some good quick grub, check this place out. read more

I'm an idiot. After reading the reviews I decided there was no way I was going here. But then my mother's friend said it's great. UGH. Should have listened to the fellow Yelpers. Service is lovely. Cleanliness, eh. Food- not good. Chips were awful, fajitas were not good, whatever my family ate, wasn't that good. Now in Pottstown's defense- not a lot to choose from. If you're craving Mexican Pottstown- take the drive to Reading, it appears there are several great places to go there. read more

I tried this place twice: 1st: Pick up order, drove 15 min out there, said my name, they handed me a bag, went home and find out they gave us the wrong order. Plus what we got wasn't even that tasty. 2nd: Went in with girlfriend and ate. Like the first time the food was just "meh". I've had plenty of good Mexican but this place really wasn't anything special, food tastes kind of bland overall. The worst offender of the second visit was one of the waitresses little kids was - I'm not even kidding- kicking a blowup ball CONSTANTLY down the aisle between the tables, back and forth, no one stopped him, he just kept kicking his ball and disturbing people's privacy and just being plain annoying. On top of all this, I feel like they charge more than they should for the quality of food. I've had much better Mexican for much less money. Price just doesn't fit what you actually get. Won't be returning and it's a shame because I love Mexican food and this is the only Mexican Restaurant within 30 min of me. read more

Los Aztecas is one of those strip mall restaurants whose cuisine and service deserve a better venue: Its pawn shop and a Chinese buffet neighbors belie the savory, pungent, and generously portioned Mexican cuisine and family feel you'll find inside. (I had the chicken in molé sauce with Mexican rice.) Plus, the pricing is reasonable. Most distinctly, it's a very easy place to get to know the waitstaff -- and as a result, a great place to practice your Spanish. read more

We've been eating here for years. It is simply, in my opinion, the best Mexican restaurant in the area. From the freshly-made chips and salsa to the authentic main dishes, it satisfies our cravings for Mexican every time. We lived in Alabama for 10 years, and this restaurant reminds us of the local Mexican restaurants we would patronize there. They do not serve alcohol, but I believe you can byob (call ahead to make sure). They have the regular range of sodas and iced tea, but also offer bottled Mexican sodas. (I usually get the lemonade.) We have always received great service here. I recommend Los Aztecas to my friends, when they are looking for a good Mexican restaurant. read more

Went here a few months ago with a friend, since it's pretty much the only Mexican restaurant around. We heard it was BYO, so we picked up some straw-ber-ritas and went inside. It is in a strip mall, so I wasn't expecting much, but the decor leaves a bit to be desired. We were seated by a young child (7 or 8) and given menus, chips, and salsa. The salsa tasted like jarred tomato sauce. Yikes. After much debate (and waiting), we placed our orders, and then waited. And waited some more. When the food came out, it smelled delicious but there was no presentation, so it didn't look very appetizing. In the end, the food wasn't average, but it wasn't terrible either (I mean, we didn't get sick... What kind of defense is that?). The price was reasonable, but we don't be back. read more

Well, where do I begin? You see the five stars up there, I wish there was six. I've traveled to Mexico many times over the years and have lived internationally where I've had a lot of Mexican cuisine. Los Aztecas is quite simply the best Mexican food I've ever had. When I ordered, I asked to have my plate "as the chef would have it for himself/herself". If you are anywhere near Pottstown PA and you appreciate traditional Mexican Cuisine, get here. read more

Pottstown has never really been renown for its fine eating establishments. Almost every restaurant I spotted was a chain or plain frightening. Luckily for Los Aztecas, this means I'm grading them on a curve. Anywhere else, and I'd go with two stars. The menu is actually quite varied, and the many vegetarian combinations (around $8-$10) are appreciated. Service is polite, although our server brought out the wrong entree and we were almost through with the first one when the correct one came out. The food is plentiful, but incredibly bland and lacking in complexity. The cheese quesadilla is a white flour tortilla folded in half and filled with white cheese and nothing else. Keep working at it Pottstown! read more

We have been frequenting Los Aztecas now for three years. We typically will go there at least once a month. Their food is wonderful and so very reasonable. The staff is friendly and servers always check back in with you to see what you need. AND . . . . it is a BYOB - which means you can bring along a great bottle of Tempranillo Red to go with your dinner. Yum. The atmosphere is casual and upbeat. They have piped in Mexican music which I always groove to after the second glass of Tempranillo : ) As soon as you are seated they bring out warm, crisp and flavorful tortilla chips with their own salsa- I always use to ask for the salsa caliente . . . now when they see me they bring it right out : ) The Chicken Fajita is incredible- they make it a little extra spicy for me when I request it - delicious, tender pieces of seasoned chicken with grilled onion, red and green pepper and a little bit of roma tomato. The portion is huge - it's served with warmed tortillas, a side dish of rice and refried beans AND a side dish of fresh pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. The chicken and veggie portion is served on a hot skillet with a little chili pepper oven mit covering the handle - very cute! The other dish I can highly recommend is the Shrimp Quesadilla. They actually use grilled jumbo shrimp - plump and yummy. My hubby gets that religiously - in fact he often has fantasies about this dish - calling me in the middle of the day with his sexy voice whispering - Los Aztecas tonight . . . Shrimp Quesadilla . . . . . who could resist! There's never been a downside to this place. Glad to have them in the vicinity :) read more

You're in Pottstown and want something a little ethnic. Los Aztecas will fit the bill but may not leave you completely satisfied. I have visited the restaurant many times over the years. Many reviewers write that it's the best in Pottstown or the area. Well, it really is the only choice when you're looking for somewhat authentic Mexican. The restaurant is located in a dying strip mall. It is shared with a Chinese buffet (ewww), a pawn shop, a small grocery store and a Walmart among other shops. The inside of the restaurant needs some serious redecorating and cleaning. If you've ever watched "Restaurant Impossible", Los Aztecas could use Robert Irvines 2-Day makeover. It's the detail cleaning that could really make this small place shine. As well as repairing torn fabrics and a good paint job. My service has always been great. This is a family run restaurant and they are very friendly and welcoming. Although they always seem to have a few booths occupied with the kids doing homework or watching the one TV (which is always on a spanish speaking channel). For the service, glasses stay full, food is delivered quickly and accurately. I think the menu prices are a tad high, but the portions make up for that, if you like taking leftovers home. And in my opinion, there are few leftovers that sustain a night in the fridge better than Mexican. As for the food itself, Los Aztecas is mostly good. The menu is way too large however. How many ways can you present beef, chicken, green chilles and salsa differently? Yet, it is always consistent. I usually get the chicken chimichanga's with rice and beans. The dinner portion is huge and I always have lunch for the next day when I leave. The flavors, as I said, are good, but never great. Many of the dishes seem to share a flat flavoring where I can't really tell the difference. I add a little hot sauce or jalapeno's for some spice and heat to liven the dish up, but's thats my taste. The salsa and chips they serve as a freebie app, is just okay. The salsa is a little too thin and the flavor is very mild. I would like to see an offering for something thicker and spicier. My 2 Star rating represents an okay meal, but yes, there are way better Mexican restaurants I've been to. But this is Pottstown (or as I like to say Potts-Vegas). Choice isn't really an option (please don't consider Taco Bell and option... that place is rancid). IF YOU ENJOYED MY REVIEW, PLEASE RATE IT AND SEND ME A COMMENT! read more

I've been going place since I moved out here and there's no place like it . This food hits so different . If u go here mad guaranteed you gone be leaving happy and full beyond capacity . I love this place . This is heaven compared to the fake authentic places in Pottstown. Have my Business for ever read more

Here in Pottstown, there seem to be a fair amount of Mexicans. And I think that perhaps each and every one of them goes for lunch at Los Aztecas. That in itself should be enough to lure anyone looking for the real deal. Nothing fancy, just very good, authentic Mexican food. It's not a bad looking place. Sometimes, if it gets really crowded and the take out business is also heavy, the service can get a bit slow. Add that to the list of reasons to try this place. read more

After a rough day we climbed in the car with our 5 year old and some ice cold beers and headed off to Pottstown after hearing good recommendations about Los Aztecas. I ordered the Enchiladas Aztecas and loved it! Four Chicken Enchiladas served with refried beans, green sauce, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, & avocado. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the dish overall was so fresh, as opposed o red sauce enchiladas. Hubs had a combo and said his was delicious. Even the kids menu is great for only $5.50. We will definitely be going back! read more

This was easily one of the best Mexican meals I have ever had. Los Aztecas serves up attentive service, huge portions, and big flavor. I also appreciate when my food comes out piping hot, and Los Aztecas delivers there as well. I consider myself a nacho fanatic, and these were some of the best I've had. The menu is HUGE and offers basically every combination of their food you can imagine, so if you want to combine tacos/enchiladas/fajitas/quesadillas/anything you can probably find that option somewhere. The décor is fun, and the food is good. I couldn't ask for anything more :) read more

I have been to Los Aztecas on multiple occasions. Initially I was not a fan of the Mexican restaurant. However, the last several times I went, I ordered Pollo Mole, which is not on the menu. This was a mole that rivals any mole I have had in recent years. In addition to the outstanding mole, I love the chips and salsa that are served prior to every meal. Fresh hot chips, with some really tasty tomato based salsa. As you have heard in other reviews, it is a BYOB place. We stopped off at a state store and picked up a bottle of pre-maid Margarita cocktails. Upon seeing our margarita mix, the waiter brought us two glasses with ice and salted rims..awesome. It may not be the best Mexican restaurant, and I probably would not travel a great distance to go here. But if you find yourself in the Pottstown, PA area and you want some Mexican cuisine, this will do just fine. Additionally, since it is a BYOB restaurant, you don't find yourself spending huge sums on the house margaritas. My wife and I managed to dine on less than $50 for two meals, and an appetizer. We had so much food left over that we were able to make two additional meals out of left overs..Pollo Mole omelets are delicious for breakfast. read more

Great Mexican food! My daughter and I stopped in on a whim and were so glad we did. Chips and salsa very tasty. I had a huge burrito with steak and my daughter requested a special rice and beans combo which they happily did. Ordered some additional guacamole and YUM. Will definitely come back! Wish the wait staff wasn't sitting in an empty booth but seeing as how the food was hot and delicious, it was a pleasant meal. Definitely recommend. read more

I'd never been to Pottstown before but I was there with my daughter and her friends and Mexican seemed to be the only food they all could agree on. This particular establishment had good reviews compared to the other south-of-the-border spots in this suburb so I took the plunge, not really expecting much. Just some quick highlights: * Very good service * No alcohol - probably just as well. * Prompt with the preliminary chips and salsa. * LOTS of families there - a good thing! * Pricing was very reasonable * Quantity of food was good. Way too much for my 'guests', but that's their problem. * Good selection of Mexican sodas. I don't see the appeal but the girls loved them. * The chicken chimichangas I ordered were good. The fried ones weren't as crispy as I'd like but it tasted good & hot. * The fried ice cream was interesting, particularly the menu description where the dish was described as being 'topped with crunchy stuff'. The only bad thing I can point out was that the beef seemed to be substandard. I didn't have any but several of the girls felt it was 'bad'. It definitely was grey and unappealing but, 24 hours later, I can say that no ill effects were reported. All in all, I'd give this four stars based on my own experience, the girls felt it was worth three. read more

This is as good as it gets in regards to Mexican food. The service is generally fast and the wait staff is always courteous. I've eaten here at least 30 to 40 times over the last four years. It is by far one of my favorite places to eat for lunch. Every patron gets chips and salsa to start most of the time before you even get your drink order taken. The lunch fajitas are excellent and I would highly recommend them if you can't decide on anything else. Of course the fried ice cream is an awesome treat if you have room after eating the generous portions for dinner. Considering the fact that this is located in a shopping plaza (aka strip mall) it is a really pleasant suprise to find such an excellent place to eat. Hope you enjoy! read more

Love this place! It is very theme oriented! It's a BYOB which is great. Every time I'm in here, it's busy. The staff is quick, friendly and attentive. I'm always approached at our table by the manager asking if we were satisfied. The food it's always great! read more

Los Aztecas is by far the tastiest place in the Pottstown area to get Mexican food. I've ordered pick-up there a substantial number of times, but have only eaten there once and the restaurant service was great, even though it was very busy. (It always seems to be packed on Fridays and Saturdays, which are the days that I generally do take-out.) Meals are reasonably priced, and you get a LOT of food, two meals worth with each dinner dish. The restaurant has a very casual atmosphere. You probably wouldn't want to wear anything fancier than jeans anyway when keeping in mind how messy Mexican can be. Now I am giving this place 3 stars instead of 4, not because of the quality of food, but because of how many times they've screwed up my pick-up order!! Since I discovered this place about a year and a half ago, they have screwed up my order four times, which is about a third of the time I've done pick-up with Los Aztecas. I normally get chicken fajitas (which I definitely recommend ordering while dining at the restaurant if you are a fajita lover!) TWICE they forgot to add the tortillas and therefore messed up the fajita dish alone. (They've made mistakes two other times on different meals.) I should've learned my lesson the first time, and checked through my bags more thoroughly the next time around, but I normally order out with friends or family and there is a lot to go through, especially since three containers can make up just one meal. Like I said, the place is normally packed, and I don't want to be annoying to the people waiting behind me (a line that sometimes nearly goes out the door). I live about 15 minutes away each way, so normally I wouldn't bother with driving an additional 30 minutes for their screw-up. But the last time they messed up my fajita order I was so mad that I did just that. I called ahead on the phone to explain what happened, and they said I could come right away to get the tortillas and a refund. So I got there and said I could have either the tortillas OR the refund.... Um, yeah right, mi amigo. I got both, but only after arguing with the manager. So with that said, if you're in the mood for Mexican, you're much better off dining at Los Aztecas. If you do take-out, do so at your own risk of disappointment and aggravation! read more

I love this place. It's set up like a Chinese restaurant so it's a bit surprising when you walk in but after that, it's pretty authentic Mexican. I had the Jefe Especial and it was amazing. The sides of sour cream are very generous, the rice is good, the chicken in the quesadilla was perfectly seasoned, there was a lot of beef in the chimichanga and the queso on top combined with the crunch of the fried tortilla was absolute heaven. Highly recommend. The service was quick and the servers don't linger, which i like. read more

Loved the food, went there a lot, until the waitress was breast feeding and still waiting on us.. Haven't been back since. I miss there dessert read more

Fair Mexican fare at decent prices! There is NOTHING quite like calling a restaurant on Mother's Day at 1:00 PM and asking if they can accommodate 22 people in 20 minutes....that's not only what we did, but the friendly endearing staff at Los Aztecas seated us, stuffed us and sundaed the moms (complimentary sundaes for the moms)! On the way into this nifty little YELP find we passed Friendly's Restaurant which is across the street from the strip center Los Aztecas is in and they were lined up out the door waiting for seating. The chips were excellent and the dishes were delicious. One of my pet peeves is being charged for minor side dishes like pickled jalapenos, but we have found a nice little spot that we will visit when in the area. read more

really cool painted woodwork booths, makes this place feel authentic. Food was good, and service prompt. One of the best Mexi-joints i have found in the area read more

We just moved to the area and looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant. Look no further!! This has to be one of the best places we have ever eaten. We found our go to place to eat! read more

Best Mexican in the area! Their chicken fajitas are absolutely incredible and you can easily make two meals out of it.

Good food, quick service and a nice environment. Stayed at the comfort inn across the way and and walked over for dinner. No beer....but I managed. read more

As I've said in the past, this is the best restaurant in the area that has a great accommodating Mexican vegetarian menu. There is about seven or eight vegetarian options, however you can always order something else on the menu and requested to be vegetarian in nature and the staff is very accommodating and providing it for you. As a celiac who is also vegetarian the options I have and eating food here are great, and I order take out quite often! read more

When you pull up it looks a little questionable in the shopping center but it is some of the best & most authentic mexican food around. 10/10 would recommend read more

When I'm in Pottstown, I try to found a way to eat here. It is a small store with great art. The portions are big and the food never disappoints. The latest time the service was a touch slow and felt a little awkward. I love it that it's authentic. Definitely worth a try! read more

I ate here once years ago and whatever I had was good. I thought I had found a decent Mexican restaurant near my house. I went months later and ordered some sort of steak dish. When it was brought to my table I was mortified. I could not even identify the cut of meat as being in the beef family. It looked more like a cross section of dog or goat. It tasted like $@&? So I grabbed the waiter and made him return it to the kitchen. They did not take the meal from my bill or give me a complimentary salad or dessert. I have never returned and still throw up in my mouth whenever I drive past it. read more

I'm in the middle of eating my food and don't feel like writing a review this place is awesome
