We always have a great time when we go to Plaza Azteca in Chesapeake, VA. The food and service are always perfect!

Great night for a quick date night!! The ambiance was intimate but also casual and families and friends were gathered enjoying themselves. The food is magnificent, superbly season and hitting all the taste points I'd been missing from a good Mexican meal. The fresh flaky fajita taco salad was the BOMB!! [Flavors on 1000]. Oh how I've missed the cuisine. Also had steak fajitas that was a MISSILE as well. [Compliment believe me] The food to the drinks were top notch and I thoroughly enjoyed meal. Missed this place oh my God. Highly recommend!! Come in and make your belly and taste buffs happy today!! Our server was great as well and just the right amount of attentiveness when it came to customer service. read more

Party of 12, celebrating promotion for someone. Staff just stared at us. We did have a few people in uniform... but guys, don't make it weird they are people too..... Food: babe demolished his meal since we didn't eat all day. He wasn't sure if it was good or he was starving. I enjoyed the chips and conversation, No photos this time read more

If you're looking for delicious American style Mexican food, this Plaza Azteca is a great place to go! They provide you with chips, salsa, and white dip as well as free refills. Be careful though, they're so good it's hard not to just fill up on them. The menu is full of appetizers, quesadillas, salads, burritos, tacos, and enchiladas. Plus, they have a lunch menu with smaller portions at a discounted price. Trust me, the portions are still quite generous! I got the lunch size chicken fajitas and still had plenty of leftovers. My family also order the steak burrito and spinach enchiladas. We enjoyed every bite. The restaurant is quite spacious and is filled with plenty of booths and family's so you can enjoy its with a small group or a huge party. read more

Came here with family to see celebrate a birthday. The servers were super nice, attentive, and the wait for food wasn't long. The location is spacious and I like that their decor is consistent throughout the whole restaurant. The food itself is huge in portions, but I find myself extremely puzzled as to why they put a lot of these fix-ins on top of the burrito. It makes it super soggy and hard to eat, especially with a fork. To be honest, I mostly deconstructed my burrito because of all these reasons together. All in all, this place is pretty OK. read more

Very average Mexican food. Nothing crazy. Good margaritas... I had terrible stomach issues and diarrhea the morning after having dinner here, which I've never experienced from Mexican food before... not lactose intolerant or anything. I got the San Jose burrito with steak. Fine. My friend got the steak fajitas. She didn't love it, but it was fine. I got 2 watermelon margaritas. My friend got 2 strawberry daiquiris. Margs approx. $12-$15. Meals $15-$25. Free chips and salsa, but salsa was watery. Queso we ordered, also watery. Fair priced. Server was VERY attentive. We're gonna continue looking for a Mexican spot we like more. Overall do mot recommend. read more

I used to come here years ago when i lived close by. i was in the area this evening and decided to stop for dinner. i had chicken chimichangas. Dry chicken, no sauce, no tomatoes, no sour cream. Rice and beans also dry, and the food was cold (plate was hot!). So disappointed at $21. It was awful. read more

Really good pork carnitas! Wait staff was awesome. Very welcoming. The margaritas were amazing. I got a medium... I have no idea how big the large must be! WOW! We will be back! read more

Pleasantly surprised. We have seen the Plaza Azteca decline in quality of the food - but just as we thought all was lost - we did takeout from Chesapeake location. Awesome food, well packed (service), and as it was handed to us - they appeared to ACTUALLY care (ambiance). We will go back but right now ONLY in Chesapeake. Well done and thank you. Food was great. read more

just went in to dinner with my husband and they charged my card TWICE! They refused to give us a refund until Monday. Then tried to say we still owed them money after they charged our card twice. Do not go here staff was very unfriendly when the issue was happening. read more

The food was amazing! Hot, fresh and full of flavor. I hate it when my chips come out cold. They were hot fresh today!! The place was not crowded, which was pleasant. We waited till after the lunch hour rush to come and it made a gig difference. This place is always packed when I come and lunch doesn't afford me time to relax after I eat like after dinner. The place is always clean with no exception today. Staff was pleasant and patient while they waited for us to figure out what we wanted. The manager was going around chatting with the guests and stopped at our table, too! He gives you the feeling like your family. Really enjoyed that part!! I think his name is Johnny. Ask for him! He's great!! He told us about karaoke on Wednesdays and Saturday's and they also have a Taco Tuesday special for $1.50 for tacos. Would definitely recommend read more

It's been nearly 10 years since the kids and I have been here. It use to be our go to Mexican place when we lived in the area. I feel it's a bit "bougier" then the average Mexican place with a nicer menu and food presentation. The lunch portion was very generous and my daughter and I weren't able to finish everything( we big eaters too). Her burrito was full of carnitas. Maybe it was because if the delicious Horchata drink that filled us up a bit before the meal's arrival. The drink had a lot more ice then needed though. Their tomatillo hot sauce is the best of all the local places I have had. We came for a late lunch so it wasn't very busy, but this place use to be packed in the evenings. The kids really enjoyed it. When asked how many stars out of 5- Got a "6" and a "10". My kids need to re learn how to count it seems. read more

I ordered here through door dash, had added two orders of FRESH guacamole to my order, and out of pure laziness, they just scooped in the premade mushed guacamole that taste like baby food and then threw some toppings on top to make it appear fresh. read more

The food is OK but it's more of a Tex-Mex. The service was pretty quick, even though they were very busy.

Used to visit this place often for happy hour, but we weren't too happy this hour we visited. Came here for a late birthday celebration. First table, the bench was super wobbly. Second table, the table was super wobbly. Third table, all was well, haha. Queso is top tier! I actually love all of the options they have especially with the combinations menu when you can have a bit of everything. Couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I just order a cheese quesadilla with rice and beans on the side which was easily accommodated. Major problem were the drinks. Ordered a strawberry daiquiri with pina colada and it just wasn't tasting right the first time. Sent it back and though it tasted better, it still wasn't hitting right. Still finished it though (of course). Our waitress was just okay. Wouldn't go out of my way to visit here again. 3.5 rounded down. read more

this is the best Mexican place in on the planet if you buy the chicken rice and the quesadilla is delicious if you do DoorDash, it is not trustworthy because people are not good at getting food and bringing it to you , but the service is amazing the ambience it looks so nice there It is beautiful! read more

Food is good. Servers are super nice. It's clean and has a great atmosphere. I enjoy their music. I always get a frozen peach daiquiri. Our order always comes out very quickly. We've been here at least 10 times. read more

I grew up very close to this location and came here very often. I hadn't been back in years but was happy to visit after all this time. It was as I remembered. The quality was spectacular and the staff was on point. I ordered three different menu items and was amazed at how great each was. It was rather large in the bar area but it was karaoke night so nothing major to worry about. I was certainly return on my next visit! read more

As part of a progressive dinner and restaurant crawl, we returned to the same booth we used for our first date 2 years ago to the day and ordered the table side guacamole for our appetizer. It was as excellent as ever, but her answer to my proposal (Yes!) was even more excellent. Thank you, Plaza Azteca, for helping to bring us together. read more

Delicious food and service. Very nice and thoughtful employees who treat you similar to family. Again amazing service and very decorated.

I ordered my food through doordash. I have a food allergy and I've always been able to put it in the box that asks for special instructions. This time I wasnt able to ( see picture below). The message says that the store does not allow for special instructions please call the store so I did after I placed my order. I called and said what I ordered and first the first breath this guy took it was to tell me that he wouldn't be taking any special instructions that it needed to be done on doordash. I tried to explain to him what was going on and he said he would do it this time but this is a big inconvenience and he's busy. I said I have an allergy and there's no place for me to put that on the app so my choices are to not eat at the restaurant or get sick? I asked him what I should do? He said it's your choice. I'm shocked that this was even an issue. I did exactly what the instructions asked me to do and then was reprimanded for it. I now no longer feel safe eating at this restaurant which is sad bc it's my favorite place to eat. The man's name was Roberto. We've eaten here so many time and the food is usually really good. When we got our omg nachos there was 4 nachos per container, the chips holding the ingredients were so soggy you couldn't pick the chips and our white sauce container was not even half full. Bad service all the way around. So disappointed read more

Excellent service, delicious food, friendly staff and super clean. Love this place. Authentic Mexican cuisine.

I legit never met a Mexican meal I never liked. Up Until yesterday. Not our normal spot, but we ended here after Los Primos by the house ended up super poppin and told us we had about a 20 minute wait. We, mistakenly, decided to ride out to Cedar and give dinner a try here. We were seated and given drinks by the reasonably polite staff so quickly we hardly got a chance to enjoy the amusement park like decor. It was your run of the mill Mexican menu that you're definitely accustomed to seeing in the area. Except for the Playa Del Carmen prices! Almost felt like you were paying in pesos! The food was no bueno and tasted saltier than neighbors seeing pull up into your driveway with a new whip. Probably not coming back here anytime soon and going to stick with my amigos at Los Primos. read more

I have been to this Plaza location several times. It's always clean and the staff is friendly. I've enjoyed drinks and food from here. I like the fresh table side guacamole and the chips and salsa. However, my go to order is empanadas and the la flaka salad. It's always tasty and quick to arrive to my table. There are four assorted empanadas, chicken, cheese, and beef. I sometimes add shrimp to the la flaka salad. You can also add steak or chicken. read more

This is our "GO TO" Mexican restaurant and we've tried a ton of them in the area. Amazing made to order guacamole and my kids can live off of the queso. The chicken chimichanga "fried" is my JAM!! read more

It had been a long time since I've visited a Plaza Azteca. And I have never been to this location. The restaurant choice was for a birthday celebration. Parking is ample, as the location is in a shopping center. The interior was clean and we were seated promptly. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to my Mexican Restaurant order. So it's quite easy to compare. A margarita on the rocks without salt, two crunchy tacos with rice and beans, and a tamale side.... That's my regular order. Of course the dinner begins with nacho chips served with white sauce or salsa. The chip beginning was a prelude of what was to come. The chips tasted "straight from the bag." They weren't warmed in the slightest. Mexican Restaurant quality can always be judged by the margarita. Mine didn't taste as if it had any tequila. Paying for a weak margarita isn't an inducement to return. But the worst problem was with the tacos. The crunchy shells tasted stale. It's really hard to mess up tacos. The rice, beans and tamale were good, standard fare. Unless someone plans another event at this location, this will be my last visit. read more

I received plenty of this scentless and foamy soap from the men's bathroom at this Mexican establishment. I enjoyed my hand washing experience and had clean hands with only one pump of the ole soap dispenser. read more

I'll start out by saying that while we were seated quickly, it took so long for a server to come take our drink order that my wife and I were thirty seconds away from leaving and going somewhere else. The restaurant was not overly busy, as it was around 6:30pm on a Wednesday. While the menu advertises a "happy hour", make sure you ask what that pertains to as we were charged full price for our margaritas. Next, you have to ask for a menu. I'm not sure why restaurants assume people want to scan a QR code and read a menu off of their phone. I generally don't touch my phone when I'm out on a date (and you shouldn't either), so make sure you ask if you are 'old school' and prefer to read off an actual menu. You know, the kind they have to clean and physically bring to your table. It was my first time here, so I decided to play it extremely safe-- or so I thought. I ordered the carne asada tacos. The presentation was good, quality of food was sub par. Extremely overcooked, dry carne asada (which needed a sauce or something to make them edible), boring black beans, and boring rice. For a place that charges a few bucks more for each entree than the other Mexican restaurants in Chesapeake, I expected better. I probably won't come back here. It took twenty minutes to get any service and the food wasn't very good. Plus, the drink specials suck. Make sure you ask beforehand what 'happy hour' means to them, cause we clearly have differing opinions. read more

It's been over 7 years since I've come here to eat. I'm so glad I came back! Hubby and I came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. We were seated immediately. We were given those delicious chips and salsa ( don't forget the white sauce). Yummy! I ordered the Enchiladas Supreme. Ok, I have to mention the food came in less than 8 minutes. Crazy! My enchiladas were delicious! And hot! Hubby had a combo meal that consisted of a burrito, a taco, & a chili rellieno. He loved it. The employees were very nice. Great place. I'll be coming back more often! read more

How to review this place. Now if you're a drunk and like to consume alcohol and eat plant tasteless food then this place is probably for you. Now if you like food with any sense of flavor or seasoning do not go to this place. I am totally not kidding when I say Taco Bell has more flavor than the food at this place. The people who give this food rave reviews must have never tasted real Mexican food in their life. I don't know how this place can be in business with the quality of the food the refried beans were bitter and gummy and had no redeeming qualities the rice was overdone boiled to a mush lacked any hint of distinguishable flavors think of rice paste with tomato juice. Enchiladas old dryed out tortillas wrapped around gristle meet that has been boiled and has zero texture or flavor. Think of a crappy taco thet got rolled up with a flavorless sauce poured over it that's an enchilada to them. So when you see the raving reviews of this place just know it's probably a bunch of drunks that are so drunk they don't know what they're eating or people that do not understand what quality Mexican food is. I've seriously had microwave gas station burritos that have tasted better than the food at this place. read more

Currently sitting at the bar . The bar tender came in after five minutes and started cutting fruit. As an afterthought, he looked over and asked if we wanted a drink. Got our beers. Ten minutes later, we still do t have a menu and he and another employee are too busy talking to notice we might want to eat. Three years later and it's worse than last time. read more

Went here for dinner with a few good friends.. Chips & Salsa were free and we ordered the Fresh Table Side Guacamole which was actually pretty good. I ordered combo #13 which was a burrito,enchilada, and a chile rellenos. It was okay nothing really that special the chile relleno was covered in sauce so it was pretty much soggy the filling was just plain cheese nothing too exciting flavor wise. The enchilada and burrito tasted exactly the same considering the filling was exactly the same filling. The sauce that covered everything was actually pretty good i just wish everything didnt have the same texture it kind of all started to mix together where there weren't any distinct flavors. overall it was okay..most mexican places don't usually surprise me when I order simple dishes that come with beef. read more

So usually we have no problem with our food here. Tonight thru DoorDash was not the case; half order was correct but my wife and daughters weren't. Even though we had specific instructions regarding there food. Since we ordered thru DoorDash we went back to them first then got told call resturant but were ask to get our Dasher to come back grab food. Called the Dasher but they were on another run so I got to run back and swap my wife and daughters orders. Easy day until I get home and my wife is missing tortillas. Well that's on me for not checking. Would just bebnice to have had it all correct to begin with since the point of dinner thru DoorDash is to keep us from having to go out the house during this COVID situation. read more

This has to be one of the worst Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. The staff doesn't even come to the table but once every 15 minutes. They mess up your orders multiple times and don't even fix it or apologize. Pandemic is over, please close this sad franchise down. There are so many better Mexican restaurants to eat at read more

Horrific service. Granted we went an hour before closing, so we weren't expecting the best service because folks (service staff) are naturally ready to go home, HOWEVER, the service we received was just outright rude. The food was subpar (5/10). Specifically, the manager's son (who made it clear he was the manager's son upon us asking for the manager) was not nice or accommodating. Even another member of the staff chimed in on his rudeness. To sum it up, don't recommend. read more

This location on cedar road never disappoints. The price and the food are good. The portions are filling. What makes this restaurant always stand apart is the service. Each and every person working here is a master at customer service. My glass is never empty, my chips and salsa is readily replenished. I feel like I am appreciated as a customer. Anyone who does not get satisfactory food and service here is simply impossible to please. read more
