Went on a Saturday, busy but not packed. Food and service was quick, and very solid. Good size portions. Overall pretty good. Plus they had a robot to deliver food to table. read more

Plaza Azteca - In restaurant food brought to table by robot - Mexican Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

I came here on a Saturday night and there was no wait. After being seated they came out with chips and salsa, you had to ask for white sauce separate which was good. The chips were very crispy and fresh. For the main I got a burrito San Jose ($17) and it came with chicken and chorizo inside a burrito with rice , beans, and cheese dip. It came out a robot which gave me a hilarious laugh. The burrito was a good portion and tasted pretty solid (quite salty but good). Staff were friendly and the overall experience was good.

Dinner at Plaza Azteca in Glen Allen, Virginia today. It was a very busy Saturday night and our waitress was hustling! We had a great dinner! Hubby had the Burrito San Jose and the portion was huge! I had the OMG Nachos and they were delicious. I also recommend the Berry Mule it was fabulous! Really great meal! I rated it 4-stars and not 5-stars because the music was really loud and hard to have a conversation. read more

The inside made me feel like I was in Mexico. It looked authentic. I heard the ac but didn't feel it, this was the only downside but I enjoyed everything so much that I didn't mind. The waitress was kind, patient, knowledgeable. I asked for a sample of the guacamole and she gave with no problem, the chips were warm and the salsa was delicious. All my food was amazing read more

We were in town for a volleyball tournament and wanted a place to the athletes and parents to gather for a dinner. Plaza Azteca was very accommodating for our group of 22 people. All at one table and was able to separate checks for each family. The food was brought out in a timely manner and was delicious. Not a single complaint from anyone. Highly recommend! read more

Plaza Azteca - Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Cant go wrong with the taco salad and XX. Service was good. It's decorated in the typical theme for a Mexican restaurant.

As always, Plaza Azteca knows how to make a banging margarita. This was the perfect spot for me and a friend to let out hair down, chat over some good food and sip on a margarita. Today, I had the mango frozen margarita. I noticed the guy didn't ask if I wanted sugar or salt on the r8m, they normally ask, but he didn't and I was actually fine with that. My food was pretty good, I asked for a la carte quesadilla, and rice and beans. All three things were a la cart, I wish the quesadilla was a bit larger, but it taste good either way. This was a great start to the weekend. read more

Plaza Azteca - Mango frozen margarita - Mexican Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Very over priced for the food the small ammount of food that is served and they do not honor the cocktail to go so be sure to finish your drink. The two dishes that were ordered came with no shredded cheese or sour cream. I asked for some and for very small container of both were brought to the table 2.50 for cheese and 1 dollar for sourcream the two dishes were supposed to have it on there and they charged me for something that is supposed to come on dish . Worse mexican resteraunt in richmond area ! read more

Definitely will come back for more fried ice cream, the main dish I had was really good, however this place has a great atmosphere read more

Good service. Great margarita. Food was good-overall a little pricey for Mexican. A $17 house marg is way too much.

The decor is beautiful, much prettier than the other locations. The food was fast and delicious. No complaints!!

The decor was beautiful but that was it..... Service was subpar I barely saw the waiter. I ordered the shrimp and crab chimichangas, which is my go to at any Mexican restaurant since I am a pescatarian, however this by far was the worst! The two supposedly chimichangas looked like to burritos and were coming apart and cold. The waiter instructed that the plate was hot however my food was cold. Upon eating the shrimp had no flavor, I was waiting for the taste of crab to appear but it just wasn't there. Upon dissecting the chimichanga there was no crab just shrimp and random pieces of onions and tomatoes. When the waiter decided to show up I asked first do you guys use imitation crab or lump crab he just kept saying " that's a crab " don't go here. read more

The worst Mexican food in Richmond. Overpriced Luke warm garbage. Ordered the seafood enchiladas. That was not crab, though the server assured us "it's a crab." It had the color and texture of an offspring of a potato and tomato one night stand. The food was not hot and there was a random pile of rice on the plate. The server went on several sabbaticals during our time there. The only good part was the restaurant's decor. read more

I've dined here many times. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Every time, the service has been excellent. The employees are nice and attentive. The food comes quickly and the salsa is soooo good! As a vegan, I appreciate having more than one option, but they never have the vegan cheese available and the meat substitute could use some seasoning! Even so, I still go back. read more

Immediately taken in by the impressive veganized versions of familiar traditional Mexican dishes, like quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas, etc. and I was very happy to see the nondairy cheese they use is Follow Your Heart "vegan gourmet" (the OG vegan cheese, still my favorite) . Our waiter, Jorge, was very patient w our children as they customized their [IMO surprisingly obnoxious] orders. To be fair, they were out of soy meats the night we dined so adjustments to menu were required. The food was exactly to order and quite delicious. Interior design is SO creative and delightful (see pics) ... it was kind of like sitting in the Courtyard of some charming Mexican Village, only completely indoors. Such a great experience all around, Im rating Plaza Aztec the VERY BEST vegan friendly restaurant in the greater Ashland/ Glen Allen region. The whole family enjoyed, we will absolutely return. YES kid friendly YES vegan friendly read more

Came here last night for dinner with a big party of about 15 people. Service was great. Reasonably priced and enjoyed the mariachi band immensely. I had the carne asada soft tacos and it was pretty tasty. I'm from SoCal and we're known for good Mexican food out there. This place did not disappoint. Also having a live mariachi band play was icing on the cake read more

Took a while to find a place and somehow we landed here. The place looks nice inside. There are small aztec decor around. I ended up wiping the table down with my own wipes just cuz the side had some previous food stuck on it. Ordered a daiquiri and it was okay, wasn't satisfying the taste buds. Actually, none of the food was. It wasn't bad or anything, just okay. Usually, at Mexican restaurants food is very flavorful and the ambiance seems so lively. Here it wasn't really like that. Our server was great though. No complaints about her. She was sweet and attentive. We just didn't enjoy ourselves much. read more

Wow! The portions at Plaza Azteca are no joke! To start we were met with great customer service from our waiter, in a fancier than usual outfit, bringing out a hot batch of classic crispy Mexican chips which were salted nicely. The vibe of the restaurant was pretty cool and the seating was comfortable in our booth. The white sauce is pretty spicy compared to other restaurants but not super spicy to the point where it is unenjoyable. The salsa was mediocre at best but I'm not a big salsa guy to start. The queso was absolutely excellent. The amount they give you is super generous and my girlfriend and I didn't even finish it. It is a bit on the pricier end though. I think it was almost 8 dollars. A steep price but not terrible for the amount and the flavor. My girlfriend got the burrito fajitas (one chicken, one steak) and they were pretty dang good. They were packed with meat but the tortilla was a bit soggy for our liking. The rice was great when cheese dip was added to it! The beans though, were probably the worst part of the entire experience. Very disappointing. They were soupy and had little to no flavor. The burrito California though, was spectacular! It had fries, beans, rice, and steak packed into a fat tortilla, served with cheese sauce, guacamole, and pico on top. I didn't know how fries would be in such a Mexican dish but boy did that flavor stand out. It wasn't super bready either because of the insane amount of steak inside of it. The portion was incredible. It did get a little dry because of how much was actually inside of it, so added cheese sauce is necessary in my opinion. The guacamole on top was okay, nothing to be crazy about and the pico was nonexistent after maybe two bites. Overall, I would definitely come back to Plaza Azteca but the price was a little hefty for my liking. The food and service is good, don't get me wrong, but the price was a lot more for not that big of a difference in quality to its competitors in the area. I would still give this spot a try if in Virginia Center Commons, it's great for large groups too! Make sure to get the Queso! It goes on everything!!! read more

Charming atmosphere, great menu selection, and exceptional service. Great place to come with family and friends!

Why don't they have a party room?! Second or third time being here and there is a huge table of kids in the middle of the room. Standing in their chairs, etc and so loud! It's impossible to sit next to a table like that and have a conversation. Food and drinks are typical for this type of restaurant. Lighting is awful but restaurant works for decent Tex Amex. read more

Service was good. Wasn't busy when we went. Price was fair. Food was lacking the flavor we were use to. They are no longer consistent. We all ordered tacos platters read more

Very positive experience with the family last visit. Food was very good! Tortillas have a sweet texture, not overly thick like some places. Chips and rice were good, made fresh. Kids meals were not up to par: the quesadillas were just one small piece with a ton of fries. Mariachi band was ready to play at 6pm during the week, so we had just missed this entertainment. The interior is clean and well maintained. read more

Not that the food is bad or the drink. There was no AC and our server was throwing the drinks and whatever he brought to the table. He was moving too fast, sloppy service. There was no management that could speak English. IDK maybe we were in Mexico. I wasn't mad but I asked him what he expected for his tip, he didn't even understand. This really was a teachable moment, but missed it because no one could understand. read more

Ok food and salad bowls. Cheap eats. Good service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Good for quick lunch or dinner dining.

Bland, tasteless, lacks flavor. Beef Fajita Nachos had no seasoning. Chicken soup was very bland and flavorless. "Cheese dip" was sweet and gross. Chicken nachos were dry. Would not recommend. read more

I wrote a much longer review of the location on West Broad. This location is newer and the staff is super nice. Our waiter kept calling us amigos and I replied in Spanish. My 3 amigos dusted their plates so I guess they liked the food. I wiped my plate clean so I don't really have any complaints. Have I had better? Of course. I'm a first generation Mexican-American from southern California. Does this place satisfy the crave for Mexican food? Yes, yes it does. Fellow Yelpers have said the food quality is on the decline at this location. They also say the West Broad location puts out better food. I think they're right to be honest. While I felt the food was decent it wasn't 4 stars like I rated the West Broad location. However, decent Mexican food at Plaza Azteca is still vastly superior to that mierda they serve at Mexico Restaurant. $0.02 read more

This restaurant Is not taking care of customers who worry about COVID-19. I went there for dinner and I had a mean reaction from the manager when I asked to be seated at the patio. I will do my best not to go back to this place again. Especially the ones who don't care about the customers. The manager is an older heavy man. read more

Service is fine, but food is not good lately. They seem to have changed either the recipe for a lot of things lately including the beef taco salad or their quality of protein has dropped. I've had the beef twice lately. First time I assumed a fluke, but the second time was just as poor. I'd find a better place if you're looking for Mexican. read more

O formating. Pamela waitress was nice at first but took my order and it came out 2x wrong. Then she gave attitude ,although I told her it wasn't her fault. Managers 2 of them aloud her to be snippy even though I told them . My BFF told the managers but they could care less. Don't know why they expect you to take the unprofessional staff. Sad because the margarita was good and they tried to over charge stating same price as peach( which I had).Manager tried to convince me they were same price and they weren't. Don't go to Glen side restaurant. Crazy all I wanted was no beans and shredded lettuce and tomatoes. Stated 3x before the order was put in. read more

My $17 pollo loco (chix with chorizo on top) was great, except for the chicken breast - they are using cheap grisly chicken because only about 5% of my thin breast was tender - the rest I swear to you it was hard and grisly! BUYER BEWARE! I complained but they didn't care! We will not be back. read more

I've been here quite a few times and recently came for a visit on a Saturday evening around 6pm. There was no wait although the restaurant was pretty busy. I feel like this is a pretty solid choice for a Mexican restaurant. I prefer to come during lunch time because I enjoyed my food better than my last visit. I was excited to order empanadas as I had been craving them for a while, but unfortunately they were just okay not great. The salsa and chips always seem fresh. My mom ordered enchiladas which are normally a go to however she wasn't a fan of the green sauce. My dad order a burrito and seemed to think it was just okay as well. The happy hour specials are decent! We got the frozen house margaritas. All in all okay trip, but I prefer lunch versus dinner. read more
