Had lunch there a couple of days ago. Their tortilla soup was not on the menus but their chef made us some anyway! It was OUTSTANDING! Great food, great service! Definitely recommend! read more

Food was good until we noticed they had cock roaches on the wall unfortunately so unless u want a extra piece of protein I don't recommend eating here read more

Plaza Azteca - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Firstly, it's worth noting that I'm a Californian with hella bomb Mexican food in all literal directions from my house. I take my Mexican food incredibly seriously... ...and the food at Plaza Azteca ain't it. Some things are fine (the salsa, the queso fundido), some things are bland (the Mexican rice and the gosh darn guacamole they make tableside which is almost a crime), and some things (like the platanos) were weirdly too sweet--I know there's supposed to be a sweetness to them but these ones tasted straight up like someone got bananas and plantains mixed up. The service was so good though! Everyone took amazing care of us! The drinks were strong and large and the pricing was right. I didn't get to see too much of the restaurant as we were whisked to the back, but other than being a bit cooler than necessary, the restaurant was tidy and well kept. Unlikely for me to return as I don't live in Missoula, but I'd give them another shot and try some different menu items if my family wanted to return! read more

First time here as I was visiting my son. We got seated fairly quickly. The restaurant was pretty busy. The service was on point. The food came out within reason we did not have to be waiting for a long time. The guacamole was so delicious and fresh. All the meals were very tasty and flavorful. Great atmosphere and good vibes. read more

The table side Guac is the very best I have ever had! I've experienced table side guac in Mexico and this has that beat. Hands down, no contest. I would go back just for this! I also had their grilled fish tacos and they were chef's kiss! I can't wait to go back! The food was delivered quick and the staff was very attentive. read more

Decent value but food is hit or miss for me. Most recent visit was good (both in food and in service) but previously have had awful food from takeout (hair in my food...). Very quick service, it seemed like we waited less than 10 minutes to be sat even with 8-10 parties ahead of us. read more

Service was quick and attentive. Booth and table were clean. You can smell the food from the exterior of the building. I had the chicken tacos and an original margarita on the rocks. Both were very good. A nice portion of chicken and avocado on every taco. read more

Food here has decent flavor. Salsa is good. Fresh ingredients. I ordered the taco and burrito combo and was disappointed that the food portion was surprisingly small, so I'm leaving still feeling hungry. Also I asked for chicken and was given a beef taco. Good service. We sat outside and the flies are bad. read more

Plaza Azteca - Taco and burrito combo - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Came here as a guest for a family gathering. Two in our party had arrived before us and ordered guacamole, which they do in front of you! Firstly, I enjoy the freshness of guacamole made right in front of me and that was the beginning. The menu is quite extensive, even as a pescatarian. I decided to order the seafood chimichangas (one is crab, other is lobster) and my girlfriend ordered the Oaxaca bowl with shrimp. Both were amazing, and out of the two chimichangas I preferred the lobster one. I split my food with my girlfriend and her bowl was amazing! We also ordered drinks, a pomegranate cosmo for me and a huckleberry margarita for her, but honestly, the margaritas are large enough to split. Both were great. Our service was amazing too, our waitress (I didn't catch her name) was articulate with all of our requests, impressive as we were a party of 6) and was present with us everytime we ordered. The music is low but creates an immersive atmosphere, along with the brown themed furniture. I also must say, as a lover of El Castillo, I'm happy to see it used as the logo on their menu. Overall, a great experience and I hope to return before heading home. read more

We ate here for the first time about two weeks ago. I was hoping to really like this place but wasn't too impressed. Upon walking in, we were greeted by a server and were immediately sat at our table. Our waiter, Crue arrived within a minute and asked us if we'd like any drinks. He was great, attentive, and very friendly. We were brought chips, salsa, and a creamy cheese sauce that neither of us liked. We quickly decided on what we wanted and ordered from the lunch menu since it was around 11:30am. Our food arrived pretty quickly, but despite that, it was luke warm and the plates were cold. I'm not sure what was going on there. I ordered two chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas were just dry chicken inside that was nowhere near hot in temperature. The tortillas were also dry and it seemed like all they did was just wrap shredded chicken in a tortilla and pour sauce over it. I feel bad saying this but they were the worst enchiladas I have ever had from a Mexican restaurant. The beans were subpar, and the fact that they were barely warm was a turnoff. I should add that many of the items on the lunch menu come with either rice or beans, not both. If you want both, you have to pay an additional $4 extra for the extra side. My husband also wasn't crazy about what he got, which was the fajita burrito. We may give them another try and try their dinner menu and see if we have a better experience. I feel like for the time of day we went, the food should have been hot at least. There is someone who comes around with a cart and asks if you want guacamole, made right there qt your table. That's a nice touch but hopefully they do better on the temperature of the food when it arrives to the table. The restaurant itself has a more modern look to it, and doesn't have that traditional Mexican restaurant look to it. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I actually like how they've decorated the inside since opening the restaurant. We will most likely give them another chance and if we do, I will update my review. read more

This is our 3rd Friday in a row going here. Our first experience wasn't amazing but wasn't terrible and we went at a bad time on a Tuesday. Every experience since then has been great, but today was stellar. Despite a packed house, we got extremely attentive and fast service from our server Bodi. You can look through my reviews, I never mention servers by name and don't think I could even tell you the name of any server I've ever had. Bodi was spectacular. The rib eye tacos, chimichangas, and birria tacos are all exceptional. The pickled red onions on the rib eye tacos are my favorite touch. Such a nice way to add acidity. Found our new regular date spot here. read more

Fun place!! It replaced Jakers, and I think it is a better fitting spot for the venue. There is usually a wait, so I recommend getting there early, having a reservation or going to the bar. The burritos, taco salad, margs and guacamole bar are really good. The service was super attentive and quick. read more

Amazing margaritas. Staff is so friendly. Food is delicious but can be rlly busy Thursday-Saturday. Ask for the Mexican ranch ;)) read more

Plaza Azteca - Margs! - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Arrived at 9:30. Wasn't informed that since they close at 10:00 the food is on a warming conveyor to be then served basically between cold & slightly warm. None of the three of us were pleased with lack of flavor & quantity served. Tacos were quite greasy. When I mentioned to the waiter that the food was cold I was told that next time we should come earlier. Won't be a next time. A once & done for us!!! read more

We usually enjoy the food and service. Great cocktails and atmosphere. Last night was A TERRIBLE experience. The service was horrendous. Our server, Uriel, was not only neglectful, but also straight up rude and condescending. If we return, we will ask for a different server or we will leave. read more

Plaza Azteca - My friend waiting 15 minutes for water as the staff stood around chatting. - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Second visit ti Plaza Azteca in two weeks. Our experience thus far has been wonderful. Greeted at the front door and seated immediately. Waiters are friendly and fast. Brought us crispy, warm chips and salsa and water straight away. Our food came out of the kitchen within 5mins of ordering! Tasty and as written on the menu. I had the lunch shredded beef chimi with rice. The tortilla was crispy fried with queso on top. Beef was tasty and abundant. Rice was yummy. Husb had two tacos with beans-entrees come with rice and beans. I asked for all rice-he for all beans. He said they were the best refried beans he has ever had. Really great experience. We will be coming back often. read more

Superb food and service. You won't find a better Mexican restaurant. Not only is food excellent but service is equally terrific.

Where do I start. The margaritas are delicious especially the coconut! They make fresh guacamole table side that is to die for. I've only been a couple times and every thing has been amazing, can't wait to go back. Shout out to Omar excellent service. read more

Moderate food. I like the had a vegetarian stuffed chile. My partner really liked his food, he felt the portions were "Anemic" compared to Cazadors portions. Service was 100% great helpful employees. I enjoyed the place we sat at the bar and I liked it very much. read more

Good standard Mexican food. Fajitas and chimis were good. Ambiance was very Tommy Bahama but nice. Staff was very helpful.

I was hoping Plaza Azteca would provide a nice option for Mexican food in Missoula. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll come back. We were here for late lunch on November 8th. Our first impression was set but the sulky, rude hostess (white blouse and long braid). She seemed miffed that we interrupted her chatting with other staff at the hostess station. On leaving, a group of five staff were at the desk, once again, socializing. Not one of them bothered to even look up and say "thanks for coming". I mean what the heck? You've only been open for a couple of weeks and this is the level of customer service? If a manager had checked in I would have mentioned it, they need to pay more attention. It wouldn't hurt them to check out the level of service at Texas Roadhouse. Our waiter was nice, but we got a wrong item. Food wise the salsa was pretty basic, no real flavor. It's great that they use black beans, but need more flavor and they were kind of watery. The Baja tacos were underwhelming, especially at $20 for three of them. The skinny margarita was good. Overall just disappointing. read more

All in all, a very good experience. The freshly made guacamole is worth going right there. My daughter ordered this huge black lava bowl full of steak, shrimp, peppers, etc that was intriguing, to say the least. She's eating the leftovers for lunch today, as did I. I had chicken chimichangas, which were very good. The only complaint was that my granddaughter's meal was cold when she got it. Great service, friendly staff. read more

Food was outstanding. We ate well and left full and happy. Tableside Guacamole was delicious. Incredibly flavorful food. I enjoyed the ribeye tacos and my buddy had some smothered chimichanga dish. All extremely flavorful and a good value read more

The greeter didn't smile or greet us just picked up menus and waved us to a table. The service was okay. When the food arrived they forgot the side dish. The chips were tasteless. The salsa was meh. My seafood chimi priced at $25. Was soggy and small. There were two of them. The beans looked like something else ( use your imagination) no taste! The dish when presented had zero eye appeal. It was Sunday. We were headed to our favorite Mexican place in Missoula but they are closed Sunday. That's how we ended up at this mediocre restaurant. The lunch bill was $59. We ordered no drinks! What a sub par meal! The interior had no festive Mexican feel. Looked like it did when it used to be steak house. If it wasn't Sunday I would never have even tried this place but El Cazador was closed. If you are going for Mexican food in missoula save yourself from an expensive disappointment at Plaza Azteca. Will never go there again and will be sure my friends know about my experience. Not good. read more

Plaza Azteca - Shrimp tacos and a sangriarita. - Salad Near Me - Missoula, Montana

We gave Playa Azteca a second try for dinner this evening, were promptly seated, and given crispy corn chips and salsa picante. My partner liked the Pacifico beer on tap. Our dinner plates were dropped (literally) on our table by a gentleman other than our server. He spun away before the plates hit the table, without asking if we needed anything else or if the orders were correct. The enchiladas ((1) ground beef and (1) cheese)) were unimpressive. I'd highly recommend the tiger shrimp tacos served with mango relish, even though they weren't hot when dropped off on our table and at $21.50 for (3) "street" tacos, black beans and yummy rice, seems a bit high. Neither of us appreciated the the atmosphere. read more

Absolutely wonderful on all levels. Service, food quality and atmosphere hit the mark. The staff are eager to please with the tastiest table side made guacamole I've ever had. I've had a lot of Mexican food from all over and the selection, freshness and flavor are just fantastic. Drink list is extensive, creative and very good. We are vegetarian and they have a whole section of meat free options. Spinach enchiladas hit the spot. Salsas are awesome with fresh, warm chips. Please treat yourself and enjoy a meal here! read more

Had lunch here a few weeks ago and had a great experience. Service was great, quick, and really friendly. The food was delish.
