This place was Amazing. The service was as good as it gets and the prices are right. We started with the house made (right in front of us) guacamole and it was great, we all loved it. My wife got the ground beef taco salad, she loved it. My kid got the taco gringos, loved it. I got the Baja fish tacos that came with a side of rice and beans. Now it's a rare thing that the side dish outshines the main course, especially when the main course was fricken amazing but the were the best rice and beans I've ever had and I've had rice and beans from a lot of different restaurants. Our server was amazing, she did get job flawlessly and didn't stop smiling the entire time. We loved this place we highly recommend it. Go check out Plaza Azteca! read more

I hate that I've used Yelp for years and never submitted a review. Unfortunately, it's not a great one. I love Plaza, eat it at home all the time. Came down for the weekend and was craving Mexican. Ordered the Empanadas and was so very disappointed. My husband decided to try and eat the crispy part (which wasn't crispy at all) but gave up. The chicken looks like Campbells Cream of Chicken. Don't order the Empanadas. I'm also including the picture from their website, and then what I got. :( read more

Reasonable cost, good solid Mexican with good service. We've been there several times and recommend it.

Service was good, food was good but very spicy (which was not disclosed), over all good food. Fair price.

Huge portions for appetizers and service was fast and friendly. We dined outside and I will definitely come back.

Good choice for Americanized Mexican food. Has all the usual menu items and does them consistently above average. I really like the Birria Quesotaco. Like French Dip with flavor! If new to you, try it. You'll be glad. Fajitas are hit or miss. Sometimes the protein portion is skimpy; other times, not. Don't have an explanation why. Kids love the quesadillas and tacos. Speaking of tacos, on All You Can Eat Taco night, good luck getting seated at a decent hour! The place is a zoo. read more

The meal was extremely salty, although the flavor was there and the portions were a good size. I tried some other dishes other people ordered, and all of it was very salty as well. If that's your jam, I would recommend coming here because the food still tasted good, but if you're worried about high blood pressure, I wouldn't recommend it read more

A little awkward getting seated, as there was some host confusion. They offer an extensive menu with a full bar. All 3 of our meals were excellent and we were happy. read more

Loved this place. Fantastic service, the chips and salsa were perfect. I got the chicken fajitas replacing onions with tomatoes and they cooked it perfectly. Everything was great! I would definitely go back. Portions were fairly large. They kept my iced tea refilled without me having to chase. They had the tables spread out for social distancing - really nicely done. read more

Great place to eat! Even at lunchtime they give you so much food! The food is so flavorful without being salty! All the produce was so fresh! Our waitress was so sweet and gracious! The building is neat and orderly with a great ambiance with music and comfortable seats! We're considering eating here again today! read more

The vegan items are clearly labeled and they have both tofu and vegan cheese available. We split the vegetable burrito, which was HUGE along with chips and guacamole. Delicious. Right on the highway, so both patio seating and indoor seating areas were noisy. read more

Really good Mexican food. The Queso Fundido came out sizzling! It was tasty, but could have used a bit more cheese to push it over the top. Shared a delicious steak and chicken burrito with my date. It was served with refried beans and rice. The rice was a nice surprise as it tends to be dry at most places, but was perfect here. Would eat her again if in the area. read more

Had such a wonderful time here. We were celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary and was having issues finding Vegan options but so happy we found this place. Stefan (Sp) was so great, he really made our experience over the top. Thank you read more

This was our first dining experience since the COVID crisis began, and we were not disappointed at all. There was spacious outdoor seating, every staff member wore a mask, our waiter was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious. Thank you so much for taking the time to ensure safety while also providing great service during a potentially stressful time. read more

Had enchaladas and tacos. They were fantastic! The chips and salsa are a little hot but I liked it! Our order was brought out timely and the wait staff were super nice! We had a lot of food left so the helpings were big! read more

This was absolutely disgusting. My family and I ordered "curbside" here during our vacation to the Outer Banks, and after 17 (NO JOKE) tries to call, we decided to place the order online (call log attatched). We arrived 30 minutes later to find dozens of people who weren't wearing masks walking inside. Disgusted, we called them (it took severeal attempts to answer) and they reassured that they would bring our food to us outside. 25 MINUTES later, and calling to a busy signal again, I put my mask on and had to walk into the restaurant to find our food sitting on a table. No one was going to ever come out and bring it to us. We had to pick it up ourselves and brought it home to find that there must have been over 15 errors in our 8 meals. Do not reccomend. read more

This is the BEST Mexican food I have ever eaten! I just googled Mexican restaurants at the OBX and decided to give this one a whirl. So glad I did. I got the shrimp/crab fried chimichangas....OMG! DELICIOUS! The wait staff provided excellent service. My server was Oswaldo and he was very attentive. I will definitely eat here every time I come back to the OBX. read more

We had dinner with a total of 9 people. The price was very economical and the food was great. Also, the wait staff was excellent. I highly recommend this place. Every year we go to OBX we got to this restaurant. Also, they have gluten free options and they are very careful to help you select the right GF options. read more

Six stars, no TEN stars!!! Wife had taquitos rancheros and I had la flaka salad with grilled chicken. Both were fantastic. Their guacamole is the best. Margaritas are delicious. The best was the conversation with employees. They were fun. Waldo was the best. He was very professional and polite. When he realized we wanted to chat, he was so friendly and had great stories. We ate at a dozen places while in OBX. Most were very good. This place by far is the best. I'm perplexed why overall rating is below 4 stars. Looks like a lot of issues from many years ago. I highly recommend now. read more

Food was excellent! We really enjoyed the empanada appetizer. No wait for a table even though they were crowded. Omar was an excellent waiter! read more

Definitely at top as far as Mexican food in the area! Staff are cool and the food is even better! Try the Chimichangas Texanas - It's literally chicken fajitas in a flour tortilla w/ cheese ; with rice and beans ofc ! Want something laid back and good Try the OAXACA Bowl: Super good- Reminds me of the bodegas in the Bronx for a quick and good lunch plate https://linktr.ee/kasrealinc - just a shortcut for your online shopping read more

OMG, let's start with the salsa, amazing! We went in and had lunch specials. The rice was fluffy, the burrito and taco were excellent and the chicken enchiladas were great. Iced tea was great also. Waldo was our waiter in the bar area and he was fantastic. Will be back again! read more

Great atmosphere. the chicken fajita nachos were phenomenal would definitely recommend read more

Very cute restaurant , the atmosphere is great. Disappointed by their "birria taco" entree... came with a small cold cup of sauce instead of the usual warm cup of soup. Pricey for what you're getting and my boyfriend's tortillas weren't even in one piece. Not to mention their liquor license was suspended so we could not get any margaritas. Maybe we came on an off day, but we we had a disappointing experience. read more

Took my dad here for a treat. He loves the refried beans! Our server was great- I love when someone speaks in Spanish and English. It was more authentic that way:). I ordered a combo that included a Chile relleno and enchilada. I added a chicken quesadilla to take for lunch the next day. It was quite good, even reheated. My dad had steak fajitas with extra refried beans. Server was very accommodating about that request. My relleno was good, but enchilada was dry. My dad loved the beans and thought the steak was cut too thick in the fajitas. He didn't even take his leftovers. Overall, pretty good but nothing great. read more

The table side guacamole is so good. The fajitas for 2 is best bang for the buck. Lots of food and is delicious. The giant margaritas are always good. Also recommend the Baja fish tacos. Lots of flavor. Sometimes the service isn't always the best. One time we got our food before we got our drinks and never got the guacamole. Some of the servers don't understand English the best but it's still delicious food. read more

We were super excited to find that they had delicious vegan options. The service was terrific and the atmosphere authentic.

This place has substandard mediocre Mexican food. My wife ordered the vegan enchiladas which came with some warm guacamole sauce which was nasty tasting. I ordered the two item combo with a chicken enchilada and shredded beef burrito. Neither meats were seasoned and tasted bland. The red sauce the out tasted like it came out of a can. The Mexican rice is a joke and has no flavor whatsoever. Save your money and find a real Mexican place. My dog wouldn't eat the garbage they served. read more

We love the Outer Banks during the off season but food can be hard to come by. And Tuesdays seem to be the hardest. We managed to find this place and grabbed some takeout which included bean dip, enchiladas suiza, and the burrito mexico with chicken. The service was great and the online ordering / curbside pickup was easy. The food was decent and met the fundamentals of mexican food but was not particularly authentic or carefully made. All in all it did the job and is probably about what a vacation crowd wants. read more

Place is ok. Food is ok, not all very authentic but acceptable. Rice, horchata, beans and pico de gallo are ok. Mole is too watered down. Salsas are ok. Churrasco and tbone r 2 separate diahea in menu. We ordered churrasco and got tbone. The waiter said theybused tbone instead of churrasco? .. wha???. Waitress is nice and friendly but service in general is slow. read more

We had a phenomenal experience ordering dinner for six in the midst of COVID19. Pro tip: there's a Plaza Azteca App on iPhone for the OBX & Chesapeake locations. We entered our orders with customizations, paid online, and noted what kind of car we're driving. We drove to the restaurant, dialed that we were in the parking lot, and in seconds the food was delivered to our car. Everything was well packaged and delicious as always. Thank you! read more

UPDATING my review to SIX stars. They have taco Tuesdays where tacos are only one dollar! They're not skimping the filings either! read more

Several weeks ago, I reached out to see if we could book a Taco Bar takeout for 40. Musti, the manager, was quick to respond and come up with a plan for us. we picked up the food last night (well prepared for pickup) and brought back to our oceanfront rental. To please 40 people is difficult, but we pulled it off. Food A+ Service A+ Portions A+ Plenty (I reheated some chicken for lunch today) Everyone had great reviews in our party and we would definitely do it again. well done to Musti and the team.

Cant say enough good things about this place! Best service ever; I was amazed at how fast our drinks, appetizers, and entrees all came out after ordering. The OMG Nachos appetizer could have been an entree all by itself, it's massive and to DIE for!!! My husband and I got the Fajitas for Two, it was absolutely delicious and very filling. Definitely want to dine here again! read more

My family and I like good Mexican food. This restaurant was just a few minutes from where we're staying during our vacation in the Outer Banks. From the moment we walked into the moment we left, we had a great experience. We were greeted with a friendly smile, seated, and served chips and salsa (with a refill without asking). Our choices for dinner were the fajitas for two, enchilada supreme, and fried chimichanga dinner. Everything was so good! Because of the great food and great service, we will be sure to eat at Plaza Azteca next time we vacation in the Outer Banks. read more
