Myself & my coworker love to come here for lunch during the work week. The staff is friendly, fast, and accommodating. Lunch 18 is my favorite.. I order it every time even when I say I'll switch it up lol. I know there was a time, maybe a 2 years ago, where the food wasn't as seasoned. It's so delicious! If you haven't been in a while and you're near Norfolk naval, I'd recommend checking them out again! read more

Oro Azteca - Lunch 18 - Mexican Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Oro Azteca continues to crush it with speedy service, friendly staff, and consistent food. This is definitely a family friendly restaurant so don't come here if large groups of jolly people and kids moving around bother you. The noise level can slightly be on the encoder side due to this, but it most certainly is a happy restaurant. The interior still slightly resembles the old Pizza Hut. Our group of 5 was immediately seated and promptly attended by a server who brought our drinks. Food selections are plentiful on their bright and colorful menu. It will take you a few minutes to browse all the selections. The menu is laid out well with dinner combinations, lunch selections, vegetarian, etc. Their prices are definitely a few dollars lower than other local Mexican restaurants. So if you are pinching your pennies you will appreciate that. This time I enjoyed the Mole Blanco. This selection is grilled chicken covered in cheese sauce with beans and rice with tortillas. The portion was huge. They also didn't skimp on the cheese sauce which was nice. This is my son's favorite thing to order at a Mexican restaurant (minus the beans) and he raved about his dinner. He also noted that it was about $3 cheaper than other local Mexican restaurants. Additional orders at our table were the Taco Salad and Fajitas for two. Both were happily enjoyed. The fajitas was so large that there was enough to take a generous amount home in a to-go box. We will definitely return. read more

The food was delicious. The chips, salsa, and tortillas tasted like they were homemade. I don't normally like rice and beans, but theirs were full of flavor. The staff was very friendly and attentive. read more

Before sending our daughter aboard the George H.W.Bush we stopped here for our last meal together before she comes back home. The service from the staff was excellent. I had already been feeling down because of her deployment but their excellent, no attitude, no snooty, no looking down on service lifted me up. The staff made sure we had everything we requested. The food was super fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The restaurant itself was clean including the restroom and parking lot. I give them 5​ read more

You can't go wrong with getting some food here at oro azteca. The people here are really nice and the food hits the spot. Best Mexican food I ever had, no, does it do the job, and tastes pretty yummy, leaving you satisfied, yes! Personally recommend the chile rellenos, always filling, always a ton of flavor and ahogados in some salsa roja! read more

A go-to spot for a quick lunch close to the Naval base. I mention that because during lunch time you'll see a decent amount of men and women in uniform - a testament to just how popular this place is! I've only ever been here for lunch and the thing that stands out to me most about this place is the top notch service. I often only have a limited time for lunch but I'm never worried about it at Oro Azteca bc I know the food will be ready quickly. The service is perfectly complemented with the food. They have amazing lunch specials at a really good price. Once you order, the food comes out almost immediately, fast enough that you haven't stopped munching on chips and salsa! read more

Me and my mom found this place right outside of the Norfolk Naval Exchange. We gave it a try and it was really good. The service was good and food came out really fast. We tried the fajitas, Carne Asada, and Tacos de Camaron. The place was clean and they had a lot of TVs. Definitely have been back a couple times. read more

Love this place, the servers are amazing and have the lunch rush down. The food is really good.

Came here for lunch during a visit to the area and it wasn't bad. The service was good but the food wasn't the best. Idk if it was a bad day or what but I wasn't impressed to the max. The waiter was amazing and gave great service. The food was a different story. I got the chimichangas. I asked for no red sauce and asked for them to be extra crispy. Neither happened. The chimichangas came out with red sauce and wasn't crispy at all. The meat inside was kinda bland and greasy. But the side of rice was a great amount and wasn't bad in taste. If I come to the area again I would def try this place again but try a different dish. Overall it wasn't bad but a little hot sauce makes everything better! read more

Oro Azteca - Chimichangas - Mexican Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I've eaten here twice. The first was for lunch and I ordered the enchiladas verde and sopapillas. The food came out very quick and was delicious. The enchiladas had a great flavor profile. As for the sopapillas, I would have rather had them without the cream and sprinkles and instead with just cinnamon-sugar sprinkled on. The second visit I got the burrito California. This thing was massive and it was really good. For dessert I ordered churros and they were good, but a tad overcooked. Definitely a go-to for Tex-mex in the Hampton Roads area. read more

Oro Azteca - Sopapillas - Mexican Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

One of, if not my favorite Mexican spot in the Hampton Roads area. Prices are right, quantities are right, food comes out quickly, hot, and fresh. Service is attentive and friendly. The decor is fun, lively, and what you'd expect for a Mexican-American restaurant. They have recently started serving a guacamole "blend" out of a jar but if you ask for it, they still make the authentic kind. I am not sure if they were pulling a bit of a fast one on me and would have charged me the same, so I'll deduct a star, but otherwise, I do truly enjoy this restaurant. read more

The food was delicious. I got the enchiladas verde with rice and beans. This place is almost exactly like El Azteca on little creek road, even down to the menu design. The servers were very attentive and checked on us frequently. The food came out in less than 10 minutes after ordering which was awesome. For a Saturday night it was maybe 4 other parties there with me and my partner, so not too lively. I definitely would come here again. read more

Oro Azteca is a solid five star establishment. They deliver great food with excellent service every time I have dined here. This is a family style spot and also great for small-medium group outings. There is something for everyone as their menu has a great selection to include vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, carnivore. Many of their items are modifiable to be gluten free and dairy free as well. All this is rounded out with a good selection of drinks-both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. If you are in the area and have not tried it, I highly recommend it!! read more

I love this place... I am not the biggest lover of Mexican food, my family has tried everything Mexican restaurant in the 757 but me, this is my go too spot.. the food is awesome very reasonably priced and cooked perfectly. The customer service is always outstanding and great drink specials for happy hour read more

Overpriced. No flavor. Bland. Waitress forgot we gave her our credit card. Terrible tasting beef burritos. Sauce taste like it came from a can. read more

First off I am embarrassed that I have never left them a Yelp review! We have been coming here regularly for the better part of 3 years now . Ok that's out of the way. This place is in a very unassuming standalone building off Hampton Blvd near Navy Federal, across from the fire station. Inside it's your classic East Coast Mexican joint. Booths and table seating available. It's great for big groups. We've taken groups of 10 or more before no problem. It's not a huge place but they have some big tables. They give you fresh chips, salsa and the Hampton Roads white sauce (if you're not from around here just try it you'll love it) when you sit down. Refills on drinks are free. Kids meals don't include a drink. Kids meals here are legit. Like a full size taco and serving of rice and beans is the favorite of our little minion. Middle minion likes the chicken burrito wet with red sauce and a side of rice. They are pretty accommodating on making the taco soft vs crunchy for the kids. Wife and I usually share the Oro Azteca special. It's a TON of food. Our second favorite is the Nachos supreme. A lot of times I'll get this to share with my son with a taco on the side and we're both stuffed. Now let me say if you're looking for West Coast style this is not the place. I am a lover of all types of food and don't compare East Coast to West Coast Mexican food. I love both . You will be disappointed if you go in expecting San Diego style cause this is legit East Coast style. We'll be back again and again! read more

Less than 5 hours ago, by around the 830pm timeframe this most recent Wednesday, (at the time of this writing)my husband and I agreed to try some food for takeout from Oro Azteca Mexican Restaurant in Norfolk Virginia (the Hampton boulevard location). My husband selected the beef and chicken chimichanga while I chose the enchiladas rancheros.  We received our food orders quickly and enjoyed our food. read more

Oro Azteca? More like Bronce Azteca... -_- This place is right off base so it has a convenient location and the prices are inexpensive but that's all the pro's that I saw. After 2 dismal experiences here with the food..I could see they cut a lot of corners with the quality of food. My biggest thing about any Mexican restaurant is, they must have fresh guacamole. Fresh guac is slightly chunky, with fresh lime juice, tomatoes and jalapeño. The guac at this place looks straight up like a bowl of toothpaste. Sh-t was embarrassing. During my 2nd visit, I ordered a Quesadilla Chihuahua with beef and cheese, served with rice and guac and side salad. Quesadilla barely had any cheese in it. That's like asking for a Banana Split without the banana. Bruh..what y'all doing?! Nah I'm done. There's much better Mexican restaurants in Norfolk/Va Beach. Deuces. read more

The food is excellent as the service is as well. Would go out of my way to enjoy another great meal here

Came into town to visit my sister (Navy sailor) and did not feel like cooking. I followed YELP! and saw the reviews, as I always do, and OMG I was impressed. The service was fast, the food was very tasteful and organized. Each takeout item was marked and easy to configure to which meal the food goes with. I will definitely be back! read more

Such good food and great service. The tres leche cake is so yummy. We always try new menu items and are never disappointed.

We were seated as soon as we walked in and the hostess was very nice. Our waitress Vanessa was amazing and constantly checked on us anytime she walked past us. I LOVED the horchata and chips and salsa. The food came out super fast so if you're in a bit of a time crunch for a quick lunch break this place is perfect! I'm not gonna lie I personally didn't enjoy the entree as much as the other stuff but I would definitely go back and try another plate! The parking situation seemed like it could get crazy during rush hour but there are nearby parking lots conveniently close. The pricing is very good and they don't do military discount. I'd most definitely go back and they offer large tables for larger parties!! read more

Delicious! Friendly, fast, and reasonably priced! If you're looking for California Mexican food, then go back to California.

While I was at this work conference, our group stayed at the Norfolk Navy Lodge. For our team dinners, we mainly ate at restaurants within the surrounding areas like Norfolk and Portsmouth. Our first team dinner was at the Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives tv show featured restaurant Dirty Buffalo, which was a buffalo wings restaurant. Our second dinner was at the Dock of the Bay, which was seafood. Our third dinner was at The Bier Garden, which was German food. Our group decided for our fourth and final dinner that we had to have Mexican food. I am so thankful they chose to eat at Oro Azteca for that Mexican food fix. For anyone staying at the Norfolk Navy Lodge, I highly recommend that you include Oro Azteca as one of your stops for lunch or dinner. Oro Azteca is real close to the Navy Lodge, so close that you could walk there, but if you're going to drive, it's less than half a mile from the Lodge. If you're exiting the Lodge, make sure to make a left and immediately after the Navy Federal, the restaurant will be on the left side. Look for a bright yellow building that appears to be an old Pizza Hut sit down restaurant. In the evening, you'll also see the neon red and green lights surrounding the restaurant. The Oro Azteca outside sign clearly communicates that this is a Mexican restaurant with traditional Mexican images. Once you enter inside the restaurant, the vibrant colors on the walls and the multitude of hung Mexican artwork indicate that Mexican food is their specialty. I was intrigued by their selection of beautiful artwork. There is plenty of seating inside of the restaurant and they quickly accommodated our large group of 15. One of the reasons for my high 5-star rating was the outstanding customer service we received from our main server as well as the army of servers who quickly brought out our food. Our server without complaint was able to do separate checks and when we needed something like refills or more chips, he quickly took care of us. This server should definitely be applauded. Service was pretty fast here in a positive way without affecting the deliciousness of the food. The complimentary chips, red salsa, and white sauce they provided were very tasty. The chips were warm, fresh, and crunchy. I devoured the chips quickly and when we asked for a refill, they brought out the chips the way I described them above. The red salsa wasn't too spicy, but the white sauce was the more spicy of the two. Both the chips and sauces really went well with your meal. I'm from California, so I'm a strong critic of Mexican restaurants in other states. We live so close to the Mexican border and have experienced some of the best Mexican food restaurants in California that I'm skeptical of restaurants not too close to a border. I can assure you that you should not be skeptical of Oro Azteca. Their Mexican food is truly authentic. Oro Azteca has an extensive menu, which made it difficult for me to order, so I decided on a combination dinner. I ordered the #17, which was one chalupa, one chili relleno, and one beef taco. When my plate came out, the food was beautiful. Not only was it pretty looking, it was so tasty. The chili relleno was the star with the finger licking red sauce and cheese. Oro Azteca is not stingy when it comes to packing each item with vegetables, cheese, and sauces. Make sure to scoop up the sauces, cheese, and leftover vegetables with the chips. I cleaned off my plate because everything was that good. It was a great trip to Virginia for training. I learned a lot and filled my brain with knowledge. I also filled my stomach with delicious food. Oro Azteca is definitely a restaurant that you should visit because of the whole package: the decor and ambience, stellar customer service, and amazing Mexican food. read more

Really good food for good prices! The fajita nachos are amazing. Actually I've liked everything I've had!

If you want a quick and tasty Mexican food, come check this place out. Their servers were friendly and quick too. Our food literally took 5-10 mins to come out and it was sizzling. Lol I also liked the fact that they gave you "free" chips with salsa and queso dip. Don't be fooled tho, if you come here just for the chips and don't get anything else you will be charged I think $3.99. I had the honor of having the burrito California and hubby got their burrito azteca. Not guna lie tho I was not a fan of their burrito California, the flavor to me seemed off. But the azteca burrito was delicious. I think it had to do with the fact that the azteca had beef brisket inside where as the California had strips of beef. Anyways lol One last thing I'd like to mention is their portions are hugggeeeee!!!! U are definitely getting what u are paying for! Good thing to know when we come back again :) read more

I'm not sure why people think Mexican food is like this but it seems to be like this everywhere... there's no real flavor and you have to add salt. Plus, why put sauce over a regular burrito? That's something totally different-- a wet burrito. Anyway, done ranting. Good prices just bland food. read more
