Expansive menu of flavors with options for everyone and outstanding service! Monroeville has been waiting for new options and Plaza Azteca is definitely meeting and exceeding expectations. Renovating the old King's building and now packing out the parking lot almost every single night of the week. From the floral photo wall out front to the gorgeous modern interior.. it is amazing to see a business owner taking pride in their building and doing everything they can to invite the community! The menu adds to that. Tons of meats and every Mexican option possible. Plus a well done kids menu and à la carte options for the picky eaters too. We ordered meals for six people right at lunch on a weekend and the food was prepared in under 20 minutes. Everything was so well packed for to go with generous portions. Plus they added in chips and salsa made everyone happy!! Takeout is right at the hostess stand and the bags were already full ready for a quick and easy pickup. Only tip - they don't take a name or give you a number for your takeout pickup, so you just come in and start describing your order!! read more

This was a really solid spot as far as local Mexican restaurants go, and the ambiance and staff were all incredibly inviting. Their plantain appetizer was to die for and I though their Birria tacos were great, just wish they used white onion instead of purple and ratcheted up the cilantro and crispiness. read more

I was excited but it didn't last long. I would encourage anyone to try this place! Cool vibe for Monroeville. Maybe I was expecting it to be more like my go to spot. It was not. I had the beef quesadilla and almost choked on the first bite. Meat was cheeewwwwie! Cheese was pretty good, sooooo many onions! It wouldn't be bad if they were grilled, they were more like boiled. The Chips and salsa were just ok. My husband's order was wrong and he got something that he swears he didn't order. He ate it anyway, we're not that picky! My son enjoyed his burrito. I've heard their fajita's are good. Service was fine. We may go back for a cocktail one day, but I doubt it. read more

Plaza Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

On our way back to Pittsburgh after a 1.5 days in the car, I immediately agreed when he suggested Plaza Azteca for dinner. I was so excited about the chips and cheese dip that I failed to take a photo. The chicken chimichanga was delicious as always. And the coconut margarita really hit the spot. Our server was great and while relatively busy, the restaurant was fairly quiet. read more

Plaza Azteca is a must try!! The complimentary chips and salsa are SO flavorful- my favorite that I've had. This time we also tried the Baja fish tacos and they were perfect. The grilled fish with the mango salsa, the creamy sauce, and the crunch of the red cabbage were excellent. I also must say that I enjoy rice and beans but often times find them not very "worth" eating- this is NOT the case at Plaza Azteca. Their rice and black beans have so much flavor and are the perfect texture and side to whichever dish you choose. I can't wait to try more dishes next time! The service is friendly and the atmosphere is modern. The new location in Monroeville is pretty and also clean, the decorations in White Oak are more fun in my opinion but still a wonderful spot! read more

Upon entering I was impressed with the modern decor and cleanliness. Large restaurant , well lit and playing upbeat Latin music make you feel like you are at a fiesta. Food was very good from the free chips and salsa to our entrees. My husband loves seafood enchiladas and he tried theirs. Not the absolute best he's had, but he ate the whole plate clean! He said they lacked in flavor compared to his favorite place. My entree was the Burrito Texano ( lunch portion). It was delicious with grilled chicken, steak and shrimp fillings. A drizzle of mango over chipotle cream sauce was a sweet note and added a pretty touch to the dish. Service was wonderful and very quick. read more

It was ... serviceable. Ok but uninspired. I got the vegetarian fajitas, and they were basically mixed veg (maybe from a bag?) steamed briefly in a grill. Very little spice or flavor. My partner got spinach enchiladas that didn't seem to have any cheese in them. Not great. I doubt we will be back. read more

Early dinner with family on a random Tuesday. All the food was delicious. Especially recommended the queso fundido! Service was excellent and all food came out fast and hot. Very pleasant atmosphere and decor as well. Definitely will be going back soon. read more

No notes. This place is top tier. Food is always hot and flavorful. Their chips and salsa is amazing. Not to mention their table side guac has improved tremendously since opening last year. Service is quick and always attentive, and ambiance is relaxing and almost cozy. read more

I came to the new Plaza Azteca in Monroeville that was recently put in a building that once held a King's. I really like the upgrades. The restaurant has a modern Mexican feel to it. It is also way bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. The menu is also massive. I had trouble picking something with all the choices. The service was really good. I called ahead and reserved a table. From that call to the hostess, to the server. Everyone was friendly and helpful My wife went with the Barria Tacos and I enjoyed the Chimichanga dinner. Everything was really good. read more

Came for a work event with a large group of 20+. They did a great job taking orders and drinks. Food came out surprisingly fast for a big group and I think everyone got their food correctly. I tried the quesabrilla and it was pretty good. Nice fresh tasting wrapping and tender meat inside. Great experience overall. read more

Plaza Azteca - QUESABIRRIA... unique but delicious - Mexican Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

We were excited to try this newly opened Mexican restaurant. Alas, we did not have a good experience. It's an old King's restaurant that they remodeled, quite nicely. They have great looking bar. The drafts were served in chilled glasses which was a nice touch. We ordered the table side guacamole and got to watch them make it. It was a little bland but the chips and complimentary salsa were good. I ordered fish tacos. I'm not sure the fish was cooked properly and they were served with an overly sweet slaw that just overpowered the whole thing. My date had a chimichanga and he expected it to be crispy which it was not. It also lacked flavor. Disappointing. There are better options read more

Maybe it's because we were here on the later side of the evening on a Monday but I was extremely disappointed with my meal here. We ordered the birria rolls as an appetizer. These were more like undercooked chimichangas with tasteless and dry birria inside. I ordered the agave chicken which was fine but the veggies were greasy and there wasn't much of it although it was described as a "bed of spinach". We also ordered the carnitas platter. These carnitas were dry and also basically bland. The nail in the coffin for me was being charged over $5 for a ramekin of pico de gallo. All in all, I'm sure that there must be a reason why this place has the ratings that it does. Unfortunately, I didn't experience that tonight. read more

First time here. Very yummy. Staff is very welcoming! We sat at the bar and had great service. Restaurant is clean with fun music playing. I had the Taco lunch with rice and beans and my husband had the Ribeye tacos. We did a little split and both were very yummy. read more

The food was so so. I must say the shrimp is a good size and the portions a nice size as well. My dish was dry it needed some type of sauce. I ordered a spicy margarita which was not spicy no fresh jalapeños it tastes premade very disappointing. Our waiter Maria was not informative, I asked her what kind of white fish and she just said white fish. The atmosphere was nice but there was flies which was very frustrating read more

Playa Azteca was packed on a Tuesday dinner hour, but we were seated quickly, served quickly and the food came out of the kitchen fast. More importantly, our entrees were all (for the most part) authentic Mexican and delicious. They also bring warm chips and salsa to the table upon seating. The entrees were plentiful in portion size, and 3/4 of us took leftovers home. Playa is a very solid dining experience and I would definitely return! read more

So So good. This is what Monroeville needed. Fantastic service and fantastic food. Been here twice andIll keep coming back. Super good Mexican food. Don't miss out! read more

Plaza Azteca - Texano Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Overall, my family really enjoys this new restaurant. One of the things that is great is that it is family friendly, but also a great place to come for a date night. I had been to this location several times when it was a Kings, so I was pleasantly surprised to see how fresh, modern and updated the interior was. There is a bar area and seating in the front room and booth seating in the back room area. There are always a lot of staff on hand and they are extremely friendly and attentive. There is definitely a language barrier issue with some of them, but if something arises, they make sure to bring over someone who can help. (for example, we had an item on our bill that we didn't order. Our server didn't understand our question so quickly grabbed someone who was able to help). The one downside is that it is a bit pricey. I was in a bit of sticker shock because it was more than some of the other local Mexican places. That being said, it was worth it because everything we've tried was delicious. The one exception would be the table side guac. It had all the ingredients, but somehow didn't have a lot of flavor. And I thought it was too pricey for the portion that you received. Overall, a great restaurant for a date or a family night. read more

Incredible service and some of the best tacos I've ever had! Still in the restaurant as I type this, waiting on fried ice cream, couldn't wait to leave a review =] read more

The service and food were both very good. Up until the time to settle the bill the experience was 5 stars. However, we were not provided a check to review. The server announced the total amount of the bill and stood table side and collected payment. Afterwards, we were asked if we wanted a receipt. I prefer to review a check for accuracy prior to payment. Therefore, because of that business practice only, I will unfortunately not be visiting in the future unless this establishment modifies their current procedure. As a result of the above issue, a DEDUCTION of 2 stars is imposed. read more

We had a birthday dinner here on a Friday evening at 7pm. I made reservations for 15 people with no issue. We were greeted and seated after about 5-7 min so they could set our table up. Our server Adriana and she was AMAZING!! She served us effectively and effortlessly. Our party came at different times and she was able to speak with each person and get their drink order in, and served very quickly. She helped the food runner deliver our food and made sure we had everything we needed. I love the setup of the restaurant and the decor. I do wish they would dim the lights during dinner service but it made for great photos! We obviously had a whole host of items from the menu. These are just a few of what I was close enough to taste. I ordered the Torta Ahogada Birria. Which is essentially a Birria sandwich. It was so so good! The consume was one of the best I've had. I also had a bite of different types of nachos. They were perfect!! Chips were perfect; toppings were fresh! The only let down were the Pina Loca. The dish was not served with chunks of pineapple, I think that would elevate this dish. It was served in one but cleaned out so well you could not scrape anymore to get a bite. Also, it was rather dry. It was supposed to be topped with queso but was just a slight drizzle. The burritos were also really good. And the best part of dinner were the margaritas. I ordered a flight. Which are half off on Fridays! The margaritas were perfectly made! They were not stingy with the alcohol either. We all had an amazing time and can't wait to return! Adriana was the goat!! read more

Excellent experience! We were seated promptly and greeted quickly by delicious chips and salsa. Had a bowl of the guac for a little extra something and it was perfect, so fresh! Half off house margaritas made for the perfect intro into the entrees! The food itself.... YUMMMM.... Solid portion sizes and perfect flavors. We tried the chimichangas and two varieties of the enchiladas. When I tell you we were planning a return visit before we left, I mean it! I'll be checking in here again tomorrow. So happy this place is open! read more

Plaza Azteca - My husband with his frozen margarita and orchid. - Mexican Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

I pass this place every day on my way home from work (at 5:00) and there are ALWAYS lots of cars outside. I mean, there are parking spots avail but you can tell its a good place by the business on the outside. Me and a friend finally went a couple weeks ago for the first time. I am a weenie when it comes to spicy foods so I had a couple options in mind to ask which is the most mild. The waitress (who was super sweet) said all their food is mild so everyone can enjoy it. So maybe if u like spicy mexican, u might be disappointed, or maybe u can request seasoning, I'm not sure. But I like everything about this place. As soon as we walked in, we said "oh look how cute it is", even outside there is a wall banner with beautiful pink roses, not sure if it was just for valentines day but it looks so nice. As I said, out waitress was sweet. I wish her name was on the receipt so I could give her a shout out but it wasnt. The only negative thing I have to say is the rice was a little overcooked but it was still edible. read more
