Food was good, quick. Prices were great. The service was great. I will return again for sure.

We came here on Taco tuesday. Obviously we had the tacos! Very good. Tasteful. Had the margarita unlike the other guy it did not taste like soap it tasted amazing! Our waitress cici was fast and curious. read more

This place is amazing. It was close to closing time but they stayed open so I could get something to eat and opened up the bar so I could have something to drink and enjoy my food. The staff goes out of the way to make sure you have a great dining experience even though they want to go home but they think of the customers first. I recommended this restaurant to everybody in the area as the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great dining experience Now for the food: It is incredible! Everything is authentic and tastes fantastic. Every single meal is plated with care. Flavor and taste is at the forefront. read more

Plaza Azteca - Vegetarian Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Niles, Ohio

Food was cold and margaritas tasted like soapy water. Very disappointed. Won't be back.

This place is so good! More people should come here the burritos fajitas are my favorite. My mom had the quesadilla ranchera and she said it was very flavorful. We will definitely be back read more

I was here when the place first opened. Cant't remember what I had back then, but remember I thought...meh...it's ok. Haven't been compelled to go back. Decided to try it again tonight since I was craving some Mexican food. In the several years since I've last tried their food, it's...still...just ok. The chips and salsa were good. Salsa had a nice little spicy hot kick to it, but not overly spicy hot. The seafood enchiladas were just meh. They weren't terrible. But there was nothing particularly memorable about them either. The shrimp and krab were both chopped up finely, kinda like the stuff you find in can can at the grocery store. Mediocre taste. The Spanish rice was flavorless, unless you poured some salsa (from the chips) over it. Honestly, unless you love their table-side guacamole (which isn't my thing), I prefer El Jalapeno. Although I haven't tried the new taqueria in the Pine Tree Plaza yet... read more

The food was kind of good, but my sister found Plastic in her food. The waitress was nice, could be a bit nicer. Overall I do not recommend coming to Plastic Azteca read more

Really tried to like this place. The food was greasy and just not right... I understand that during the covid 19 epidemic the food might be a little sketchy due to low volume and staff issues. We decided to sit outside for our meal to practice social distancing.... The margaritas were sub par... the salt ring on the glass was a joke and the mix was tart and sour.... The Del mar fajitas for 16 bucks was to include shrimp and scallops... Well the shrimp was decent but there was not a single scallop... there was old mussels in the dish which were musty.... to make things worse a large table of young 20 something sat beside us and several of them chain smoked the whole time.,, read more

Came for their 5.99 lunch, a whole 2 items from the menu, not only that but from the part of the menu that all the prices were the same as the 2 lunch specials. No wonder this place is never busy. EL JAPENIO FOR ME NEXT TIME... read more

Called multiple restaurants this Saturday with a party for 15 looking for seating. No one had enough room to accommodate our party. We happened upon Plaza agave because they could take a party our size. I was leery as we arrived as it didn't appear nearly as busy as the rest of the local restaurants. To my surprise they did not disappoint. The server was wonderful, she was nice and attentive. The food is probably hands down the best Mexican food I've had to date. The prices are a bit higher than their competitors but it was worth the extra money. The atmosphere is calm and feels more private which we loved. The strawberry margaritas where also fantastic. If you haven't made a stop in I highly recommend you do. read more

Stopped in to try the buffet. It's cheap but not real sure that it was worth it. All the food we tried was pretty dry and tasteless. I don't think I would go back. One good thing was table side guacamole which I will say that was delicious. They give you a large bowl for a group to share. So if you just want to have a few drinks and chips with fresh guacamole then give it a try. As for the buffet I won't be going back. read more

Good service, great margaritas, and fresh guacamole made right at your table. This is my favorite Mexican place in the Youngstown area. Try a Pacifico, Dos Equis, or Modelo during Happy Hour! I'm also a big fan of their shrimp fajitas. This building served as a couple other restaurants that didn't last very long before Plaza Azteca stuck. read more

If you want a quick body clean clean out, this place will have you crapping & heaving in no time. It's not good at all. read more

Honestly, the place was just downright dirty. I used the restroom and in the hallway before you even got to the restroom it smelled like unclean toilets. Then, when we got our food, we started noticing small flies appearing trying get at our food. More and more kept coming and we were constantly swatting them away. Now, I've been in the south during the summer and have had this issue, but this is north eastern Ohio in the dead of winter. If you've got fruit flies like that, you're just plain not cleaning. On the plus, if you risk it, the food was pretty tasty, I'll give them that. For Groupon Users: Just a forewarning, you do have to get 2 soft drinks apparently when you use the Groupon. My husband ordered a beer, I ordered water, and our meals came to over $20 alone, but we had to order 2 soft drinks at the end of our meal to be able to use the Groupon. read more

Guacamole made at table side is without a doubt the best in the tri state area and has my highest recommendation. Choose from mild, medium or hot as they prepare it to your liking. Meals are consistent, my family has their go-to favorites but we still try new items. The staff are friendly and attentive. You can eat in the bar area, the restaurant or the side patio. I consider the meal prices to be average, they have daily specials and also a lunch menu. If your looking for something light get a table side guacamole, this along with the complimentary chips and salsa make a perfect pairing with a margarita. read more

Complete Trash. Everything was wrong, chicken tasted like rubber. There are many Mexican restaurants around here, this is NOT one you want to go to. read more

The. Margaritas. Let's be real for a second. I love Mexican food. I don't care if it's Taco Bell or in Mexico, I've never met a taco, burrito, chips and salsa, chile relleno, rice and beans, or queso that I didn't want to snuggle, at least for a few moments. But the truth is, it all tastes, basically, the same. The spices can excite or be bland, but we all can picture what a quesadilla looks like, because it looks the same at every Mexican Restaurant, Fajitas are pretty standard. The tostada, is a tostada. Mexican Restaurants have mastered the ability to take the same 8 ingredients and arrange them into about 400 different dishes. And I love them for it. Plaza Azteca is no different in this area. Everything I have eaten has been delicious and familiar. The tableside guac is tasty, the chips are crispy. I think one of the places where Mexican restaurants can vary greatly is in their rice and bean offerings. Often, they thrive at one and fail at the other. PA does an admirable job at providing two palatable sides that neither offend or overwhelm the dishes. But, they do something that makes the entire experience magnificent: They SHINE with their Margaritas. They are strong, sweet, fresh, and CHEAP. If you are looking for good Mexican food, it is a place to go, if you are looking for Margaritas, it is THE place to go. read more

This is a fairly large restaurant across the road from the mall and had good ratings when I searched on Yelp (from the mall parking lot). It was pretty empty, being in between lunch and dinner times, and we were seated in a booth right away. Our service was consistently good. We were served water and chips & salsa right after we sat down. My chosen entree was fish tacos; there were 3 small ones and came with a separate hot plate of beans and rice. The tacos could have used some kind of sauce, but everything tasted really good. I would come back, and would like to get one of the vegetarian entrees since they all sounded good on the menu. Our bill was $21 for two entrees and a beer; not bad. read more

In the area for work and decided to try this place out. There was 4 of us and brought our appetites. The waitress was great, she seemed new and not as knowledgeable about the menu but not a big deal because she was nice and attentive. Chips and salsa were fine, the entrees were a mixed bag. The quesadilla and enchiladas were your basic Mexican restaurant variety dishes and had plenty of meat and cheese to boot. I order 3 beef tacos expecting beef strips in an authentic fashion. Nope! Boiled, watery, and flavorless ground beef mush. It looked like deviled meat. The taco came with lettuce and very little shredded cheese. I asked for some pico de Gallo on the side. I got a tiny bowl's worth and was charged 3 dollars......... the tacos were not hardly edible. I only had enough pico de Gallo to put on 2 tacos, which was fine because the 3rd taco suffered from a case of waterlogged corn totilla-itis. It was soggy and mush, no longer able to qualify as a taco. I don't tent to be this harsh, but it's a stinkin taco; I would have considered 3 hard shell Taco Bell tacos a pleasant surprise compared to what I got. The meat wasn't even brown, more like Greyson tan and watery. Friend also order the tamales, they had great flavor but were very dry. read more

Great chicken chimmie. Right size portion for lunch. Presentation of food perfect. Looked great, smelled great and taste great read more

Plaza Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Niles, Ohio

This is so far the best Mexican restaurant in the area. We are used to eating Mexican food 3-6 times a week. The places we would eat were owned, staffed, and eaten at by mostly people in our Mexican community in Oklahoma. If you are used to good authentic Mexican flavor, this has been the only place we have found it in this area. We have been to over 10 different Mexican restaurants in the Youngstown area and none of which compare. The best items offered are not on the Menu so be sure to ask what else they have to offer. We were looking for tacos Lengua and finally found it. The only thing I wish they did have is Barbacoa. We had tacos asada, pollo, el Pastor, carnitas and chills rellano all of which were very very good. We tried a tamale which had good flavor but was a tad dry and crumbly and the flan was a bit over cooked but once again had a great flavor. read more

Tried this place cause the restaurant we wanted was closed. Being from California I'm all about Mexican food so was excited to try this place. Staff was nice and very helpful, however at one point our waitress was nowhere to be found. I ordered a side of guac and queso! Queso was relish but the guac was bland! Not very tasty. Unfortunately I love guac so that was disappointing. Also got the Land and Sea which was bacon wrapped steak and shrimp. Sad to say but also a little disappointing too. Steak was pretty dry. We did get the margaritas and those were good. I recommend those of you come here! read more

Ok. Lots of things to say. Service was AMAZING. Shoutout to the young lady working tonight, who's name margaritas have erased. She hooked us up! It was a clean restaurant and nice inside. $1 margaritas on Monday and Wednesday. Typical MidWest Mexican....UNLESS you mention you know your stuff and you would like to know what's on the SECRET menu. Then it's lingua tacos, el pastor, and corn tortillas among other things that are authentic.... outstanding. Chips are warm and fresh, guacamole tableside as spicy as you want. 2 tacos, 2 margaritas, guacamole, 2 chimichangas, Chile Colorado and a coke $35!! We will be back, we will bring friends. It was great! read more

I love this place. its bursting with flavor and always strving to make the food better even though its already delicious. Servers are awesome read more

Greasy chips, small portions of salsa and bowls. Food was oddly dry and lacked seasoning and vegetables were hardly cooked in a fajitas mix. I've never seen such a thing. Undercooked veggies over cooked chicken. read more

We went in for their lunch Buffett. This had to be low grade cheap food laying around or that needed to be used. The server was invisible and didn't want to be there nor was she any help to us. We have tried this spot twice now with the same results sadly it still max and ermas decor years later something could be done w this space it a waste. read more

Service was fantastic. The chips and salsa were fresh. The food, however, was bland and tasteless. The beef in the burrito was unseasoned and the red sauce tasted like plain canned tomato sauce. The relleno was mushy despite supposedly being deep fried. First and last time there. read more

Lunch was awesome! The waitress was prompt and attentive. I had the Texas Fajitas. The portion was more than enough. The place was very clean and spacious. I have found another gem! read more

Stopped here for dinner- had a quick bite at the bar~ the chips and salsa were fresh and very good. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and they were delicious.

You simply can't beat the prices here. Food is great. 1$ 16 of beers on Tuesday's and Thursday's all day as well as 1$ tacos. Maybe that's why I'm writing this review bc I've had a few. But I'll defiantly be back. Happy hour 2-7 w half priced appetizers. Cheese dip and tacos were great and the staff is friendly and very attentive. read more

Amazing food. Amazing environment. This place is perfect for family and friend gatherings to eat some food

I usually get the seafood enchiladas. They are delicious. They have happy hour deals on weekdays. My fiance loves the tacos. The margaritas are very good. They are never too busy. read more

This is BY FAR the best Mexican restaurant around!! I've been here about 6 or 7 times since they opened and I love it. My favorite dish is the chicken and spinach enchiladas dinner. I have also tried the fish tacos and a few different burritos. Warning: The burritos are HUGE!! And awesome! Give it a try! You will not be disappointed. read more

Not exactly authentic Mexican, but everything I've had has been very good. Choriqueso and/or table side guac are a must.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try this out since we hadn't been there before. The chips were cold and the water tasted strange. My food was eh at best and my boyfriend disliked his. Definitely would not recommend or go back. read more

Was excited to visit this place after seeing all of the reviews. I was highly disappointed. Let me first say that the young lady waiting on us had zero personality. It was sad. I was super friendly, but she didn't smile at all. She had the same stone look on her face the entire time we were there. My wife enjoyed her fajitas...said they had a different flavor than normal fajitas. I got the chicken enchiladas. They weren't inedible or anything, they just completely lacked flavor. I tasted nothing. The guacamole was pretty much tasteless also. Everyone raves about their guac, but I was not impressed. The rice was a little crunchy as well. The refried beans were ok. The inside has never been updated since this building was a Max & Erma's. Felt like I was traveling back in time. I won't be back to this place, and thankfully, I don't live in that area. read more

Recently moved here from Oklahoma and am used to authentic Spanish street tacos and have ate tacos in Mexico. Have tried many Spanish places around the youngstown area and love love love it here. The Asada tacos were filled with flavor and the in house made salsa was so good! Will be coming back! read more

Excellent food and quick, friendly service. Tableside guacamole was impressive and delicious.
