Nice lunch with the family! They were able to sit a party of 7 quickly and took good care of us. We very much enjoyed our food! Great service! We got our food quickly, too. The food was absolutely delicious. I loved my carne asada tacos. Everyone enjoyed their food. My picky kid even took more than one bite of his pizza. My sister took me here last year. I had the steak fajitas and loved that too. Last year we got table side guac. We didn't this year but the guac was obvi memorable. So this food will be memorable too and we look forward to returning! read more

Hi my fellow hungry people. We have one closer to the house, but came here for a change of pace. Recommend. Service was excellent. Prices were expected. Not low, nor overpriced. Big servings. Now to the review. First of all we will be coming back. Sat at the high hats. Ample TV's for a sporting event. Parking was a non-issue. Wife and I had no appetizers, two entries, 2 margaritas apiece -$90 before tip. Redundant I know, but service was excellent. Mrs Yelp had "Pina loca" big hit and a pretty nice presentation. I had "chori pollo". Good stuff. . Ample amounts- we had take home. Credit to the phots go to Mrs Yelp.. read more

Everyone one is friendly here. The food was awful, I can't say it any nicer. Beans and rice were bland, fajita burrito, tiny, I could not eat the chicken in the burrito. Had the texture of a soft potato. Didn't eat most of it. My friend said the tacos tasted like "groundhog" meat. Not sure what that means but there it is. Was super nauseous when I went home. Should have asked for a refund but I just wanted to go back to work. read more

Went here for a very early dinner on Friday (430pm). Seated immediately and quickly got drinks and chips with salsa. Overall it was a decent Mexican meal, nothing wonderful but also nothing bad. The restaurant is large and tables aren't too close together. Seemed clean. Tableside guacamole was fine. It needed salt and there was no showmanship or anything that made me want to do tableside guacamole again in the future. The salsa is actually really good though, but that's my opinion and I often don't care for restaurant salsa. The quesadillas were good. Had a good flavor and lots of shredded chicken inside. Could use more accoutrements, like some lettuce and guacamole served with it (and sour cream if you like it). The nachos were pretty good also, with the beef having good flavor. I might go back but it isn't too of my list. Would probably give 3.5 stars but it just isn't a solid 4 star place that I know I have to return to. read more

Used to be a decent restaurant but they've changed the menu and the prices are absolutely ridiculous for what it is. Mostly slop.

Pretty good place for a chain restaurant! The employees especially our waitress was super friendly. Very accommodating for the two toddlers we have. The food came out hot and fast which we greatly appreciated since we had little ones. I had the carnitas enchiladas which was plenty and delicious and my husband had variety enchiladas which he inhaled. The place was busy since it was a Saturday but the food was quite tasty and the service was great! read more

I genuinely wish I could give zero stars. My girlfriend, her mother, and I came here expecting to enjoy a meal together for my girlfriend's birthday, but instead we were met with blatant homophobia from our waiter & another staff member. I had my hand resting on her leg- something completely normal for any couple- when we noticed our server make a comment in Spanish to another staff member. They both looked at us, laughed, and made it extremely clear we were the joke. It should also be noted that he knew we noticed as he then refused to make eye contact with us for the remainder of our time there. It was humiliating, and we no longer felt safe or welcome in the space. No one deserves to be mocked for who they love, especially in a public setting by someone whose job is to provide hospitality. I will never return, and I encourage other LGBTQ+ folks to think twice before spending money at a place that makes queer people feel like a spectacle. Truly a shame as well, as we were quite enjoying the updated ambiance. We had our first date here two years ago and had intentions of returning for a long time. To the staff that worked here a year ago & before that, thank you for making our experience enjoyable & for being so kind to us. read more

Very good food, staff were very friendly and fast. Our food came out fast and hot. Nice atmosphere and big tv to watch futbol.

Their food is always fresh and hot and offers a great portion as well. I am always super stoked when I see the platter of a dish come my way. The staff has always been fun and kind and make it a point to greet you at the door. The decor is bright and airy and it doesn't feel claustrophobic in there which I love. I wish their specials tasted better - they seemed to have drinks that are not quite the best and I am sometimes disappointed. Highly recommend the carne asada. So tender, perfectly seasoned, and HUGE. Definitely a favorite spot! read more

Delicious and amazing service! Since having kids going out has become quite a task. This place is the perfect place to take them and still feel like I'm "going out". The kids meals are PERFECT for a picky eater or not so picky eater:) The table side guac is worth the price to get fresh guac made right at the table. I recommend the organic margarita over the regular one simply because it just tastes fresher, and you can taste the tequila better. My husband had the Choripollo and loved it! I had the Oaxaca Bowl for the first time and it was DELICIOUS! If you fill up on chips (as one is want to do when dining at a Mexican restaurant), this is the perfect size and not too heavy a meal to enjoy without feeling overstuffed. Finally, the staff is hardworking, attentive, personable and very accommodating. They clearly enjoy their job and interacting with customers! read more

Just like many other things, prices have increased and portion sizes have decreased. The Vegan Bowl has gotten so small it doesn't even fill a cereal bowl anymore, where before it used to fill a large dinner bowl. For the vegan tacos, the side of rice and beans has gotten similarly smaller where you can see the bottom of small to go container through the food. The flavor is pleasing. Not great, not bad. Very "domestic" food, which my son who doesn't like spice appreciates which is the only reason we continue to come here. If you want anything authentic, don't go here. read more

It's the best I go with my family all the time. The service is better when it's more busy.

Consistently good food. I do the nachos and my husband does enchiladas. Wonderful Margaritas! Service is always great. read more

Took advantage of Plazas outdoor seating for dinner! We love how they have a lot of tables meaning the wait isn't typically long for both inside and outside. They have their QR menus on the table, but accommodated some of our table with paper menus. Their menu is typical of any Mexican restaurant, but they do note allergens next to their items (gluten free & vegetarian). The service wasn't impressive, honestly struggled to get ahold of our server, but that could also be in part that we were outside. Their menu is pricey compared to their competitors, and while I thought their food is similar to what you can get anywhere, their portion sizes were generous. read more

Met some friends for dinner on a Monday night, and I thought it was a good choice. The place was nice inside, the service was okay, and the food was good. My wife had the California fish tacos, and I had the Burrito California with chicken. Be prepared for this thing, because the burrito was huge! Both of us liked out meals, and my wife said the Bahama Mama's were good too. (I stuck to the Pacifico draft beer...a favorite). The chips n salsa were very good, and we didn't try the "made at your table guac", but we will the next time. read more

Great food and drinks. This is the second location I visited and they were both very consistent. They need red chili sauce did the tamales and chimi's. I doused everything with the salsa and it was good. But real Mexican sauce would get 5-stars. read more

A very nice Mexican restaurant that is large, clean, and well staffed with friendly personnel. Their menu has a lot of choices, both traditional and innovative. Free chips & salsa, but eat sparingly because the portions are large. Ample parking and handicap friendly. read more

Food was good and prices very reasonable. We split the steak fajitas for 2 for just $31. Even had leftovers. Food came extremely quickly as well despite the restaurant being packed. My 8 year old says, "It was very filling. " read more

This used to be the only place I would consider going to and we went a couple of times a week. We just left because I keep giving them one more chance. I am done after today everything was so gross. Chips were stale and tasted of old oil. My Enchilada was not hot and had just a floppy undercooked corn tortilla. I could go on and on. I am so disappointed in my once favorite place. We will not return. I will say that we will miss the staff and the service is always great. read more

Very disappointed. I've come here several times in hopes in would get better. The staff is very courteous and professional, but the food is just ok. I could have gotten something better from Chipotle or Taco Bell. I hope the food improves. The location is great! read more

Really saddened by the reviews dumping on people who like this place! I am one of those people! No one claims this to be an authentic Mexican experience just like no one claims Chinese take out to be an original recipe from the Han dynasty. It's quick and the service is friendly!! They have hella draft beer and amazing fresh guac. The meals are typical of those found in chain Mexican restaurants and I love quite a few of them. Burrito Mex and chicken taco salad are my go tos. Both have always come out fresh and the portions are large enough that I almost always end up taking something home. All of the Richmond area locations are equipped for large groups, typically without a wait. If you ever wanna drown in cheese dip here HMU! read more

Plaza Azteca - Steak and fries - Mexican Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Plaza Azteca is a great place for quick service and decent food. The menu is pretty extensive, so it's easy to find something for everyone. My go-to dish is the Pollo Patron, which is chicken breast topped with grilled veggies and cheese sauce. The past 3 or so times I've gone, I have noticed a decline in quality. The portion of veggies is much smaller now, the chicken can be dry, and the cheese sauce a little on the watery side. It still tastes fine, but quality does vary. You can't beat the quick service here though. My food usually arrives within 10 minutes of placing my order and it's always served hot. Is this my favorite place for Tex Mex in Richmond? No. But does it hit the spot when I don't feel like cooking and want to eat carbs covered in cheese? Totally. read more

The worst mexican spot i've ever been to. Bland food, slow service and chaotic atmosphere.

My family recently went here. It's close to our new neighborhood. The food was good - not spectacular compared to where we usually go. The service was very good. And the restaurant certainly had room for us in a very pleasant atmosphere. The pricing, however, we thought was a little high. We got table side guacamole and that was delicious. Go. You'll enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Just plan on paying a little more. read more

I don't understand why so many patrons give this restaurant a medium to high rating. I recently ordered their ribeye tacos meal, only to find that the tacos were essentially inedible. The steak meat was both dry and very chewy. I guess I should have known something was odd when the server brought out my tacos very quickly, even though the restaurant was extremely crowded at the time. I can only presume the steak meat had been cooked well before it was served to me and it had dried out, as well as it being a poor cut of meat. The accompanying beans and rice were bland, making the entire meal a complete waste of money. Please avoid this place if you're looking to dine on quality Mexican food. read more

This place is a staple for my friend and I. We go here quite often, and the food/drinks NEVER let us down. EVER. We almost always get the same thing of course, but still it's a great place to try out. We'll more than likely be back this week for Taco Tuesday, and we're not ashamed of it ! read more

Wasn't great. Ordered lunch fajitas and told them I would pay extra for shrimp. $13.50 for five shrimp. Wow. Go elsewhere.

Just awful all the way around: - The table was sticky and dirty, with liquid on one side of it. Asked for extra napkins to clean it and they never brought them. - Got the table side guacamole, it took forever to come, and then as they placed it on the table the entrees arrived. - The food was average, and that is being generous. Steak inside my son's burrito was chewy and tough, and the ground beef in mine tasted terrible. The beer I ordered tasted skunked. - I asked for a side of rice and beans for my entree since it didn't come with that. They never brought it. Bottom line, bad service, below average food, and dirty table. Never going back again. There are much better options for Mexican food in Midlothian. read more

It had a bunch of music and background noises that are enjoyable. Food was good service was too

Was craving Mexican food last night. Arrived around 6:30 sat at the bar. Order Pollo Patron Grilled Chicken Breast with broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini and carrots. Topped with a creamy cheese sauce served with refried beans and rice. My chicken breast was so thin like it got run over by a truck and the amount was small. There was one measly piece of broccoli and one tiny piece of zucchini. But it had so many carrots chips it was laughable and several small pieces of cauliflower. I said where's the broccoli pointing to the one tiny piece and zucchini. They brought 3 more pieces of broccoli - really? I hope it didn't break their budget. I asked for a margarita on the rocks no salt. It had salt and it tasted like they put salt in the drink too blah. I left disappointed and regretted not going to El Cerro Arzul instead. read more

Of course I went to our favorite place on national margarita day. The best mango Margarita I had was in Mexico, but this is a close 2nd. An absolute must have. The Chori Pollo is always my top choice. This place was super packed. I arrived about 6pm to the tune of a 40 min wait. It does start to die down around 8pm. read more

Been a patron for over six years now. The most amazing staff and service, wonderful food and generous portions, great cocktails. Always clean restrooms. Outdoor patio dining with fun umbrellas and lighting, large bar and multiple TV area including high tops and booths near the bar seating, amazing family friendly dining room with plenty of booths and tables. I love the Pescado Azteca dish, husband loves the Mixed Fajitas, but we work through the entire menu without disappointment in flavor and portion. Everything from Flaka Salad to Quesadillas, Chimichanga Supreme, Chori Pollo to Camarones Loco... you won't be disappointed! Staff has always been masked and vigilant about sanitation as well. Glad to be back dining in house again at the moment, but also enjoy the exceptional curbside service. read more

Customer services is okay but food was bland no flavor whatsoever ever . The fresh guacamole was decent . I would not come back

Kind of surprised I hadn't written about her before, as we've been here 3 or so times before. Entering, you find a large main dining hall. The space is bright and even when crowded, the noise doesn't overwhelm. There were 8 of us on this particular visit, split evenly among adults and children. They brought out two dishes of chips. I didn't try the red salsa, but the white salsa here was picante (hot), which is unusual. My wife ordered the quesadilla ranchera and I the Burrito San Jose. The other couple ordered the fajitas for two. The other family was in a hurry, so they asked to speed up the service and they did. My burrito came naked, no salad, on a platter. It had a mixture of chicken , sausage, rice and beans in the interior and the customary cheese sauce on the top. It was OK, but certainly nothing to write home about. My wife's quesadilla did have a salad and was filled with steak, cheese, beans and onions. She also said it was good. My son had his traditional mac and cheese. The folks who had the fajitas didn't say much about it, other than there were only two shrimps in the mix. In the end, the service was very good, the food was good and the price was a bit more than that found in other Mexican chains. As for returning, if we're on that part of Midlothian and wanted Mexican, we certainly would return, but I know we wouldn't drive out of our way to go here. read more
