Great service and great food! I got the steak tacos hard shell, a frozen margarita, and my friend got some type of bowl. Sorry, not very helpful. But the restaurant was very clean and I would go back. read more

Plaza Azteca - Steak tacos - Mexican Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I love Plaza Azteca just found out about this location. So I will definitely visit more often. I got my usual burrito fajitas and it did not disappoint. Will definitely return now that I know about this location. read more

Our family has been going to the Dock Landing Plaza Azteca location since 2005. Ali and the great staff have seen my daughters grow from elementary school kids into young adults. We always feel welcomed and appreciated. The best word I can use to describe the food and service there is - consistent. We know that we are going to get a good product with good service. I think the best valued item in the entire area is the Fajitas for Two. $26 for an unbelievable amount of food. More like Fajitas for Four :) The restaurant is always clean and inviting. They have also stepped up and adjusted during this Covid-19 shutdown and been so quick with takeout and delivery. This place is a staple of Western Branch and will continue to be for a long time ! read more

Wonderful experience . They sit you down always almost as soon as you arrive. Your server comes out like 2 min later and brings you warm fresh tortilla chips with white sauce and salsa . The white sauce is a Virginia made items dm will ONLY be seen in this area at the Mexican restaurants . I ordered the enchiladas suizas withe beans and rice . My food came out literally , 10 min later and it was fresh and hot . I would recommend trying them if you haven't and I have prefer them through door dash as well and same great food and quality read more

The overall quality has gone down with this chain and it's an absolute disappointment. We tried to give it another chance and it's just as much of a let down in both quality and service. read more

Wife and I love this place, one of our favorite places for lunch. The staff is always polite and on point. When the weather is nice the patio is a great place to sit and enjoy a drink and conversation while waiting for your food. The free salsa and chips are a plus, one of the best salsas in the area. Don't think I've ever had a bad experience here. read more

Food is great. Sometimes orders get mixed up but the issue is always resolved. I often order take out and it's always fresh. But I have noticed smaller portions lately. Lol read more

FYI. They may have taken reservations in the past but they don't any longer. They also do not accept "call ahead" to get on the wait list. Someone must physically be there at the restaurant to be placed on the wait list. read more

Came here on a Friday night after the gym. Didn't have any food prepared and was starving. This was on the way home so we stopped. Parking lot was pretty full so we knew there would be a wait. The hostess gave us a 20 minute wait but it was more like 10 so not too bad. Ive been to Plaza on Holland Road tons of times but this was my first time at this location. I usually always get the same thing (San Jose burrito) but since I am following a Keto diet I had to get something different. I decided on the Texas Fajitas and I requested to have the white cheese that comes on the burrito put on my fajitas. Not only was my request accommodated they didn't charge me for the difference. I also got a side of guac for $1.25 that was pretty good. All in all my food was great my server was attentive and I will be back. read more

This is our go to spot. We honestly go here at least once a week..sometimes twice If no one wants to cook! The staff are also very friendly and hospitable. read more

This review is for dinner 2/2/17 Molcajete Azteca is something new we tried off the menu, and we were blown away. A volcano bowl filled with tender ribeye, chicken, shrimp, roasted poblano, pineapple, mixed with a special el pastor sauce that is full on flavor yet still manages to feel quite light on the tongue, although I am certain it's not light on calories. Wow! So incredibly tasty. 5/5 My husband I split this special dish, using about 6 tortillas total between us, and a side of freshly made guacamole to add to the wrap. The guacamole was a touch off this time, needing ample salt and lime juice. It also lacked heat. Plaza usually does much better with the table side guac so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. 4/5 The Molcajete Azteca dish is $25, enough for two and a total delight for date night. Value for the money 5/5 Service was also spot on. Not too much yet completely attentive. Better than several higher end places we've been to lately. I drink a lot of water. My water was never empty. 5/5 star My husband does not particularly enjoy most standard Mexican food. He couldn't believe we found this dish at Plaza. Overall, great Mexican place, satisfying dinner, nice atmosphere and service 5/5 read more

My favorite Mexican Restaurant on Portsmouth Blvd! I've never had a problem with them. They've always gotten our food Correct. Food comes out quickly!! And Hot!! read more

Mexican that's somewhat better than mexican is about as far as I will go with this place. When going out to eat and thinking Mexican food you generally have a preconceived notion on what to expect. Those things are: 1. Chips w/ salsa 2. Fast service 3. Lots of food choices that is often hard to tell the difference. If this is you then, read this review. 1. The salsa is rather delicious. Not too hot and has some good substance to it. 2. The service doesn't disappoint. As expected, yes it comes to your table with you going: "wow that was fast". 3. There is your typical blend of food choices but they also have some unique dishes accompanied with a vegetarian menu. To top all that, they do serve fresh guac, and occasionally have a roaming band that plays jokes on people and do some funny songs (nice touch). The facility is very clean and they do have a very nice outdoor patio area that gives spots of sun such that you don't feel like you're getting beamed 100%. The only thing I don't like about the facility is that the walking areas are very narrow. The guac station takes up easily 4/5ths of the walkway and makes it real tight if people are trying to get around. They also have a bar here. I haven't hung out at the bar area but from an outside perspective, it does look nice and bar-esque enough to not be trashy but a cool place to chill. Overall if you're looking for a non-trashy Mexican place with good food and service. Check this place out.

Came here with a birthday party tonight. We had a very good waiter. He was very polite. I think his name was Elio. The customer service was fine. Especially with the big party today. My issue was not with the service, it was with the food. I ordered the number 19 combo as did my best friend. It was two chicken enchiladas, rice and beans. The enchiladas didn't have enough sauce. The chicken was extremely dry and the rice was bland. I am extremely picky when it comes to Mexican cuisine. Especially being from California. The chips and salsa were delicious. Would I come to this place again? No. Would I recommend this place? Only to people who have no clue how Mexican cuisine should taste like. It's meh. Blah. read more

Sixteen dollars for three Al pastor tacos, yet all I could taste was corporate bloat. But they'll keep refilling that Pepsi

The food has always been of good quality however as of recent, the food was not to my standards or feel as of they cared.

Eye will never return! They lost a long time loyal customer. Eye have never been treated so poorly by staff in a restaurant ever. The young woman with the face piercings was mad and very hostile because Eye had to return an order of fajita nachos. It's like chill it's just food, a minor miscommunication. She took it upon herself to go the extra mile and gave me fajita soup. Because Eye complained that it didn't have enough cheese. So it had little to no chips in sight with the remade order. All because Eye said it wasn't enough cheese. So when Eye returned the 3rd time to show the manager Eye wasn't exaggerating she was there smiling like (ha) So Eye informed the manager about that behavior as well as the 2nd encounter. He tried to make excuses for her even though he wasn't there, instead of saying he would speak to her about it. So yeah Eye'm over them! And Eye know me declining to ever come back isn't gonna hurt your business. But if you continue to let your staff treat people poorly you will lose more than this loyal customer. And Eye will be contacting better business bureau! Have the day you deserve sweetie. And you can thank your employee with that face piercings she's lucky Eye didn't get her name. But Eye will darling! read more

They are always on point! Food is great as always and the margaritas are amazing. They have been our saving grace during the pandemic.

Fresh guacamole at my table, and some good Mexican food. It's not award winning, but it is one of the best spots in Hampton Roads for Mexican Food! read more

We're visiting from out of state and this restaurant has so many positive reviews, we had to check it out. The staff was so incredibly nice, the food was amazing, we ended up going a few times during our vacation. I talked to the manager on the way out and told him how amazing everything was and he was so grateful for the compliment! The staff was so nice!!! If you're ever out this way, you won't regret checking it out! read more

Update to my review: I went this evening to Plaza Azteca and had some wonderful food. The Camerones Gratinados (appetizer with shrimp and onions and cheese) were delicious! They were glad to add fresh cilantro too. I ordered the Pescado Azteca. It was Mahi-Mahi with Shrimp and Mushrooms and a wine sauce with mashed potatos. The dish came out looking very white - covered with white sauce and the mashed potoatos were white. Being into photography and eating - I thought it looked bland. After taking a few bites - I was in heaven. The Mahi-Mahi was cooked perfect with some good spices. The shrimp were plump and tasty. The mushrooms were full of great flavor. The sauce was delicious with a great flavor from the wine and the spices. I loved the dish. It's presentation could use some work. I passed on the the Managment that it was too good a dish to drown and bury in white sauce. I suggested putting a drizzle of sauce on top and more around the fish. I also mentioned some cilantro or a slice of lime will help dress the dish up. (I've posted a photo of the dish on here) Great flavor - a shame it looked like a white-out in Alaska. This will not deter me from my next visit. Plaza Azteca in Western Branch of Chesapeake on Dock Landing Road is my favorite Mexican place in the area. I have been here many times. I thought I had already reviewed it. I went there today with my wife and son Chris and we had a great meal. I was in the mood for something light and got the Azteca Salad. It had Chicken and Shrimp and it had a great spicy kick and was most awesome and probably one of the healthiest dishes I've had here. (I've posted photo's of most all of my dishes.) My son had a veggie dish (Enchiladas Trio) and his looked and - according to him tasted outstanding. My wife had the Fajita Taco Salad and she loved it. (It looked great also). The wait staff is always friendly and accommodating. I love the Camerones Gratinados appetizer. (Shrimp and cheese with onions) and I had the idea one day - It would be great with Chorizo and fresh cilantro on top. They fixed it for me like that and I've since had it numerous times - what an amazing flavor and how great to get a custom dish. I love the shrimp tacos. I also love the Chori-Pollo - Chorizo with Chicken. I have had many dishes here that have blown my socks off. (see the photos on this site). They have Yuengling draft and big mugs - almost 55 gallon size. Great when you use the hot sauce like I do. I have brought friends here and every time I have visited the food was great and the service was also. I look forward to many more meals at this great place. If you visit - tell them - Jim - the guy with the beard and the fedora that takes pics of the food and beer recommended it to you. (They will hook you up). An added thought - The building and plants and design are fantastic for taking photos and add a lot to the experience. read more

Plaza Azteca is always a great choice. The food is delicious and the service is always fantastic.

I came here towards the end of September. I wanted a few tacos so I decided on Plaza Azteca. I wasn't too hungry but I was craving a few tacos. So I ordered a few. When they came out everything was cold except for the beef, which was lukewarm. I let my waiter know and he basically treated me like I was stupid. He told me the veggies aren't supposed to be hot. Uhm I was talking about the shell and the beef. He made a big deal out of it but took it away. The manager came to me with hot tacos. Like it should be. He told me they don't normally do this but he will remember my face. He was nice but at the same time he was talking to me like I was a pain in his a**. He left and my friend told me a group of waiters were staring at me. Don't worry about remembering my face because I won't be back. I'll stick with Taco Bell. At least they provide hot food without an attitude. read more

I remember when this place was a tiny little Mexican joint in Va. Beach. Back when it was good. Then like every other place that gets huge and opens a bunch of locations it went straight down hill. Like any other corporate type restaurant they suck. The chips were horrible. Everything is just sub par. Guess I'm spoiled by Señor Fox. Every Mexican place in Hampton roads should take notes from the Fox. I'm just not going to go to another Plaza again. Not even worth talking about my dinner. I've already forgotten it. read more

Food was what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. The peach margarita was delicious!

I'm going to have to dock Plaza Azteca a star because while I understand prices need to increase over time, they pulled a fast one: New menu came out, then, it came out again with higher prices. What used to be $9.50 is now $11.00. Prices have gone up, and unfortunately, that means we can't come as frequently as we used to. Plaza Azteca has gone from a once to twice a week dine for us to once every two weeks. I love the place and the staff and food so I hate to see it, but what used to be a great value for the money has become "a little pricey" IMHO. Yes, you get what you pay for, and there are plenty of other cheaper options that aren't as good, but at the same time, it's disappointing to see the move to a less wallet friendly business model. read more

Tried something new on the menu. It was delicious! They have a Philly steak burrito. It's so good. Steak,cheese,mushrooms, and green peppers. The food came out rather quickly as usual. Our waiter was friendly. We never have bad service when we eat here and the food is always good. I should note that the burrito didn't come with rice or beans, so if u want that you will have to add it. I had originally planned on getting rice as well, but the burrito was so good I forgot all about it. read more

Plaza Azteca - Philly steak burrito. Nom! - Mexican Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I like the decor and the high semi-private booths. The carne asada tacos were large with filled lots of tasty steak, onions and cilantro. The fish tacos were a big disappoint. The biggest problem with them was that they lacked flavor. They were super bland. The beans and rice were enjoyable and served hot. I would go back but never order the fish tacos again. I am still in search of a great fish taco like the ones in San Diego and Baja Mexico. read more

Who doesn't love plaza, right? When Corona first shut everything down they came to my rescue!

I love Plaza. Last year we had date night there every Wed and we loved the bartender! They were always willing to make new drinks for us and even ordered some special liquor to try a new thing. Super cool! They had 2 quick menu changes but it seems they are sticking with it now. Food is excellent. I also love their guacamole. My biggest issue lately is how busy it has been. Service is usually good but on occasion you get a bad experience. But with all the other mexican in the area and now a few good ones I don't like to wait too long. But we still visit often enough. Try something new...every time they surprise me with just how good it is! read more

This location is seems a lot smaller than the other Plazas in Hampton Roads. It was a 35 minute wait for two when I went here on a Saturday night. Service was on and off. It took a while to get the drinks and food order and to get the check. But my drink was always filled when needed and the server brought over a new bowl of salsa without me having to ask. I almost always get the steak fajitas here ($11.99). Love the meat to veggie ratio and the rice. Didn't love that I only got two tortillas...could have sworn that they use to give three. My date got the fajita nachos, which came with meat, white cheese, and veggies. He liked them, but I'm more of The Works type of gal when it comes to nachos. read more
