We ordered our meal to go, and it was ready pretty fast. The prices just keep going up and the portions are getting a little smaller, but the food is still great. We will continue to go back here because the service is great whenever we eat inside as well. read more

Don't waste your hard earned money at this dump. The only thing worse than the food is the Assistant Manager Mauricio. We had our Mother's Day lunch here at my wife's request. They were busy and it took quite a while to get our food and drinks, but we understood. After leaving the restaurant within an hour my wife was extremely ill and curled up on the bathroom floor. I called the restaurant to speak with a manager and I was told that he was on a conference call and would call me back. After two hours I decided to call back and he answered the phone. He said "yeah I got your message but I wasn't going to call you back, I am too busy to deal with something like this." After a few choice words on my end I hung up after he knew how I felt. So from my heart screw you Mauricio, I hope karma bites you in the ass. read more

We just moved here from Texas and let's just say we miss good Mexican food. We've tried several places in the area and have not found any place that we like. Well, until we found this place. We definitely have our go to! Excellent service, location, and great food! Specially their carne asada! read more

food was average service was okay ambiance was not good, as we were seated right by the bar and people who were loud and obnoxious read more

I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars versus 4 stars. I went there the other day because I heard that they stepped up game. I have the feeling the restaurant was having an off day. When my guest and I sat down it took a awhile for the server to come over and bring us chips. We waited 10 minutes after we got sorted before anyone came over to us. The chips that were served to us tasted stale instead of the fresh chip taste. I had ordered the enchiladas suzias and it was really good. I don't know when I will be back and I'm willing to give them another chance. read more

Plaza Azteca - Enchiladas Suizas Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Okay, plaza has really stepped up their game! Their prices now reflect their quality. My husband and I had a late lunch here and were both shocked at how great everything was. Food was hot and fresh, tasted great. Drinks were perfect. Staff were attentive and helpful. We can't wait to come back! read more

I am not a big Mexican food fan but if I go Plaza is not bad but they have increased their prices to the point of ridiculous now! I mean it's only Mexican! So I stopped going here! read more

It wasn't Taco Tuesday, but Thursday is just as good a day to get some tacos at Plaza. There's a lot of bad reviews on here but honestly, I cannot complain at all about any experience I've had when dining here. I ordered a mandarin Jarrito (Mexican orange soda), the Tacos con Carne Asada which came with rice and beans, and requested an additional side salad. Service was very quick, our server was very kind and funny, and our group were well looked after. I have to admit, the sauce that came with the tacos was quite spicy, I didn't expect it. I love a good kick but was not expecting that! Regardless, my food tasted great, service was good, the chips were a little greasy for my liking but that's personal preference - yes, I still ate them all, and the salsa and white sauce. Obviously. read more

Asked for sweet tea and got unsweet. Pretty sad they messed up the easy parts. Takeout tray of chicken and rice was half full with no cheese sauce added. Chips were stale. Don't come here if you are expecting quality. read more

We had a pretty disappointing meal this evening at Plaza Azteca starting with a dirty table which we had to tell them about. My wife ordered the Enchiladas Rancheros which was absolutely covered with green peppers that unfortunately she doesn't like. I got the Enchiladas Supreme which came out lukewarm so I returned them. They came out second time a few degrees warmer but still nothing near hot. One mistake I made was assuming that since all of the other enchilada dishes came with rice and beans that the Enchiladas "Supreme" would too. Not correct. They came out by themselves. The waiter was gracious and provided me with sides at no charge which was probably the only positive of the whole meal. We have much better experiences in the past at Plaza Azteca so we'll give them another try. But if this had been our first visit it would have been our last. read more

I've eaten here once and thought it was very good. This last time I saw something I couldn't believe in a burrito. A bone fell out midway as I was cutting into it. I showed the waiter to surprise as well. He showed it to the manager and apologized. He said it looks like bone from a small steak. I got half off the price of the burrito. My son eating with me found a hair in his burrito. We were wondering was it his. We didn't say anything regarding that. But I don't think we'll come back here so. Also initially the chips were good. As we got to the bottom they were stale. Seems like they mixed old with new. Sounds kinda petty but after the bone and hair this seems to fit. I liked the one in Hampton better. Food and service were great. The architecture was like a ancient Aztec theme. read more

Prices have gone up, again. Combos no longer include rice or beans. Inattention to detail. Now overpriced for the same food, not worth the money. read more

Good Food, Great Service Stopped in last Tuesday and found the restaurant approximately 75% full. We were greeted by our server Mia quickly and this started one of the best restaurant experiences we've had in years. To put things in perspective, I've had decades in food service, from serving through being a GM, so I recognize good service when I see it. Mia worked the floor and her section flawlessly. She was incredibly efficient dealing with her tables. Every step was intentional. As for the food, my spouse had the spinach enchiladas which were really tasty. I had the chimichangas and the meat was not as tender or flavorful as I would have liked. As far as ambiance goes, it has a typical Tex-Mex decor. Did I mention Mia was a superstar? read more

This is my go to place for Mexican in the York County area. The food is absolutely delicious and margaritas too. We usually split the Fajitas as the portion sizes is enough for two and some leftover. I will say that this place is more on the expensive side. For the Fajitas it was $21 and whatever Margarita they brought me was $16 (it was a jumbo) but for the occasional date night its ok. Last tip, the parking lot is smaller so arrive early and not during prime dinner rush. read more

We usually drive to the one in Hampton but out of laziness just stopped here on the way home. The waiter was wonderful, got us everything quickly and nothing was needed be be asked for. But that's where the good part ends. The food sucked. We ordered the fajitas for two. It comes out on this little tray sizzling and you can make your own burritos. The meat, the onions and the peppers were burns. Like black sides and tasted like the bottom of the oven. The salsa they had was seasoned tomato sauce. I mean it tasted/felt like someone had opened a can of Hunts tomato sauce (or ketchup) added some sofrito and adobo and left it alone. I will usually drowns my food in salsa and leave with a smile. I dipped my chip in it a couple times and then left it alone. Maybe it was a bad night, but after last evening, driving to Hampton is worth the extra 20min read more

1. The server added unauthorized money to her tip. What I wrote on the credit card slip did not match what I was charged. Beware! 2. Side of shredded cheese cost $3.50 when they forgot to include it with the original fajita meal. 3. The food was fairly good. Standard Tex/mex food. 4. Beware. Fountain drinks cost $4 each. Between a small cup of queso, shredded cheese and 4 fountain drinks this added close to 30 bucks to our total. Probably will not come back. Not worth the credit card fraud. read more

Great service!! Great food!! Great vibe on a Saturday night. Love this place. First time being here

Food was lukewarm. Chips were stale. Crema salad was wilted and tasted sour. I'm writing this place off my list!!!

Absolutely by far the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The cheese in the chimichanga looked and tasted like sliced American cheese. The rice was hard and tasteless. The beans was still whole not mudded at all! The only thing that was good was the drinks. Even the chips and dip was bad. Overall 1.5/10. read more

My family loves this place. Armando is great! We have been coming here for years now and we never feel rushed like other places. We always get amazing service and family time over dinner. We will keep coming here till next time plaza ! Thank you read more

The queso fundido we got was like half grease. The other food was okay, the chimichangas were supposed to be fried but came soft instead. Pick up time was accurate at least read more

I love this location and their food. The service is always great and quick! Our meals usually come out no later than 10 mins after ordering.

Great food and a great price! 2 people on date night for $45. Pretty good. I love the grilled PO apple with the meat and veggies inside it. Perfect meal. read more

Service is great. Food is good. We like that they stay open a little later than most restaurants.

Love the food and the service has always been fantastic. Love the steak fajitas every time.

I like this location! Need more options for take out orders. The prices have increased by a lot... no complaints other than that.

We came in with a large party of twelve at 4pm on a Saturday. I passed a lot of Mexican restaurants on the way to this one to attend a birthday party. It was not busy inside and we were immediately seated. Drinks came out fast and the margaritas were good, I was told. The side order of guacamole was good and some people in our party had the chorizo and cheese dip and it was very tasty. I forget how good chorizo is. I ordered the steak fajitas and asked that the veggies be blackened a bit. The couple sitting across from me got the fajitas for two. My fajitas came out and were not blackened. I was too hungry to wait for them to come back again. I didn't get many refried beans but I didn't mind as they were watery and not that good. The pico de gallo was very good and the steak was cooked nice. The couple that ordered the fajitas for two got a total of two (2) shrimp on their platter that comes with steak, chicken, and shrimp. Yikes. The waiter was attentive and patient. Carlos was his name I believe. The waiters came out and brought a shot of tequila to my cousin who was turning 21 that day. They sang happy birthday too, nice touch. It was okay but I'm not gonna go out of my way to come back. read more

My wife and I were looking for some good eats here in Yorktown, so here we are. It's about 6:30 on a Friday night and the parking lot is full, except for this spot right up front! Yeah, starting off good so far. Bar area had a few four tops left so in we go. Server was right on time, drinks heading our way along with chips. Yep, I'm on a roll. read more

Located off Hwy 17, if you are coming southbound you will have to perform a u-turn in order to enter parking area. Also, lots of construction going on, arrive with enough time so you don't starve. The food is not authentic Mexican, more like Tex-Mex style. Typical fajitas, steaks and seafood platters that are tasty and very enjoyable. Being from Southern California, I grew up eating Mexican food from the Northern Mexican region so when I go to places that call themselves Mexican I have a baseline to go off of. Not being biased, it's just what I know. I been to this location twice, but have visited others in the area. I normally get the seafood dishes because of personal health reasons. I have tried the burritos and fajitas before. Just beware the platters are huge and you will be taking lots of food home with you. I would give this location a give, but the reason I will not is because of parking. Parking is bad at this location, very small for the sized of people that can fit in the restaurant. Show up early, wait at the bar, drink responsibly and enjoy this cuisine. read more

Plaza Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Took my daughter to Plaza Azteca across the street from Grafton High School tonight. Service was good and my daughter's steak fajitas were fine, but the chile rellenos I was served were by far the worst Mexican food, or just food for that matter, I've ever had placed in front of me. OK, so maybe the bad steamed clams I had back in '85 that kept me in the bathroom for the better part of a week were technically worse, but at least I could actually get them down....at least for a couple of hours, anyway. As chile rellenos were not on the menu (which surprised me being fairly common Mexican fare), I asked the server if they had any. He said yes, so I ordered a platter with two chile rellenos, rice and refried beans. The rice and beans ended up being my dinner as the chile rellenos were completely inedible. I, an adult male weighing 200ish, could not even cut through one of them with a knife...literally, I could not cut through it...it wouldn't even tear when I leaned into it! I even demonstrated the chile rellenos' krytonite-like indestructiveness to the server when he came back to the table to check up on us, telling him they needed to stop serving them if there were anymore in the kitchen. He asked me if I wanted something else, but I know better than to send anything back to the kitchen (in general, not specifically at this restaurant) and eat anything that re-emerges, so I politely declined. So a nice meal out with my daughter turned out to be a complete disappointment food-wise...and $45 for two after the server took off $12...meaning the rice and refried beans only cost $5. Guess if I try to look at it positively, I saved money as the rice and beans would probably have cost more if I ordered them a la carte...so there's always that. We used to go to Plaza Azteca quite often a few years back when my kids were at Grafton. Never had an issue, but looks like things have slipped a bit...and by "a bit" I mean "a lot". I'd recommend instead going to 3 Amigos which is just another mile or so up the street near Ft Eustis Blvd. I've eaten there twice fairly recently and the service and food were just fine, so guess that, or Cinco De Mayo which is also close by, will be my next go-to when I have a desire for at least palatable Mexican cuisine. Last negative review I wrote was almost 6-years ago. Since I eat out once or twice a week and only take the time to write a review when something is just plain horrible, you might want to think twice before going to Plaza Azteca, this one at least. Bon appetit! read more

We did our very first curbside Mexican and margaritas to go tonight! Food was fantastic, quantity seemed more generous than normal, and margaritas hit the spot! Also the service over the phone was top notch!!! Thanks for a quick easy delicious dinner:). We've missed our family date nights here!! read more

Served raw chicken: I normally love Plaza Azteca but this visit was horrible. My friend and I ordered the Mexican Chicken Cordon Bleu. It was extremely under-cooked chicken. The manager came over and asked if I'd like something else but did not apologize. I took one bite and immediately knew it was raw chicken. We didn't eat after that. read more

Great Cinco de Mayo celebration! They had cotton candy, face painting, balloon animals and mechanical bull riding for the kids. All for free, which was a nice perk during a rainy day!! We started with strawberry frozen margaritas, jumbo sized for me! We also got the OMG nachos and table side guacamole. Both were pretty yummy. The OMG nachos were kind of hard to eat after they sat for a bit and the tortilla chip got a little soggy. My niece had the kids meal pizza, which was pretty standard. My sister had the chicken and cheese quesadilla, which was just that: chicken and cheese in a shell. I had the Aztec tortilla soup. The appetizers were definitely better than the meals. Overall, we had a good experience. The restaurant was packed by the time we got there but service was quick. The kids activities were definitely a nice surprise and made my 3 year old niece very happy! read more

This place was recommended by our neighbors. Monday nights are typically "kid's night" with face painting and balloons! Unfortunately the usual lady was ill during our visit, but we still enjoyed ourselves. Upon our arrival we were quickly seated. With four adults and four children, we fit comfortably at a long bench table and a high chair at the end. We were immediately served chips with salsa and a white sauce - the sauce had a kick to it which accommodated for the texture. Our order was promptly taken and soon enough our food arrived. Everything was delicious. Our friends ordered the shrimp queso, while their kids picked corn dogs and rice. My husband selected the chicken chimichanga plate with fried tortillas, rice and beans. I ordered the chicken and spinach enchiladas with rice and beans. The portions were great and we all left feeling full. Having moved from Arizona, we've been in search of a great Mexican restaurant. We will definitely be back. read more

The place looks nice and there's plenty of seating. It's probably the best Mexican place in the Yorktown area, but there's just no "wow" factor here for me that would make me become a regular. I came here with a fairly large group to celebrate the birthdays of a couple of coworkers and the space and service made it appropriate for the occasion. There's a lot of seating, a fairly large bar area and overall modern/fun atmosphere. I had one of the combination dinners (all combos are $9.99). It included a burrito, taco and chili relleno. It was good, though it would have been nice to have it served with rice and beans considering the price. I mostly chose this combo for the chili relleno, which was pretty standard. The menu is fairly extensive and offers some nontraditional Mexican dishes (aka Americanized fluff). I had a jumbo margarita on the rocks ($7.99), which was pretty stiff. I was expecting a better HH price though. The service was quick. We were happy to have a Spanish speaker in our party because our server was not totally fluent in English and needed some help when divvying the bill. read more

I have eaten here a number of times and have always been very satisfied. Today (at 4 PM) it was terrible. After 10 minutes I had to ask the host to find us a server. The food was not nearly as good as it usually is, and I didn't finish mine. Another thing that is very annoying is that they don't show drink prices on the menu. read more

My husband and I just moved from Arizona to Virginia and have found it extremely challenging to find a good Mexican food spot close to home. Plaza Azteca is about as close to authentic Mexican food as you will get in Yorktown. Staff is so friendly and our food was out quickly. Everyone is efficient and attentive. We went for lunch and I got the beef quesadilla and taco plate. The only unfortunate side to my visit was that the quesadilla wasn't really a quesadilla at all. More like a giant beef taco. If they added more ingredients it may have been a bit more to my liking, rather than just s giant tortilla with beef stuffed inside. On the other hand, my husband got the chicken fajitas and loved them. Took a bite of his side of rice and beans and they were delicious! read more

This has bad food and wouldnt eat again even if i had the chance also no bbq sauce and terrible ketchup 1 star :(

Okay. Let me go have to start off with a update. My wife and I went to another plaza azteca in hopes that somehow my first experience would be much better. However going to another plaza azteca this franchise is based upon crappy service, crappy food, and even worse managerial staff. it must be somewhere in the contract for their job to give the worst service in all. the only thing that was a redeeming quality was our server. She was very nice, very pleasant, and really took the time to make sure that we were happy. Although there's nothing she could do about our experience, it is not the servers fault for a crap product presented to us by the kitchens. One strike is shame on me. Two strikes is shame on you. I'm not going back to my third strike. I am completely boycotting this restaurant in all of its chains. I rather eat dirt and sand than ever go back to any plaza azteca chain. read more
