We thought let's eat something and complete the rest of the journey. but we were more than happy after the meal. it was 3-4 PM and ofcourse no one was there except us. We ordered - Chicken Fajitas- I can say with confidence, one of the best fajitas in the USA. Arroz Chicken- it comes with chicken with cream, lettuce, and other stuff. also, tortillas, beans, avocado, rice comes with this food was just amazing and we were wondering, did we just eat the best food of our Pittsburgh trip?

It is bright, cheerful and very clean. The menu has the typical Mexican restaurant options like tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, enchiladas and burritos and the also have a kids menu. I love their chorizo con huevo because not a lot of places have that kind of dish on their menu. It is chorizo (theirs has a great deal of flavor and isn't greasy like chorizo sometimes can be), onions, peppers and eggs. They serve it with tortillas and rice. Lots of food and packed with flavor. I have also tasted the enciladas and my husband loved the cowboy burrito. For drinks, especially during the summer they have awesome daily specials. I've tried the watermelon water and the cucumber lime. So very refreshing! Service is friendly and attentive and they are great about answering any questions that you might have about menu items. I highly recommend having lunch or dinner here and then heading next door to the creamery for delicious ice cream.

The space is decorated in a modern, bright, and inviting style that makes you feel welcome right away. The staff was friendly and attentive, and we loved the table-side guacamole--made fresh right in front of us and absolutely delicious. What really stood out for me was the menu. They had more than a couple vegan options, which automatically earns them an extra star in my book. It's not always easy to find that in smaller towns, so I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know when I'll be passing through Altoona again, but if I do, Plaza Azteca will definitely be a stop for me.

However, I have noticed a distinct change in the food. The amount of spice in the food only adds to the quality of it. There is a distinct improvement in the flavor that carries through from the first bite until the very last. There is a big change in the quality of the service as well. It took a tiny bit of a delay to get seated, but the food and service made it worth the wait. My beverage was filled before I asked for it, the waitress asked about the flavor of the food and if everything was good, and of course it was! The ambiance is amazing and the decorations appeared authentic. I cannot imagine the craftmanship that went into carving the booths! We will definitely be back here again- it is at the top of our list!

It has streaks and handprints that are visible from the road as you pass by, and it actually deters us. The food was okay. The chips and salsa were good, but we were not asked prior to dinner orders if we would like any guacamole or queso, but we chose to order queso anyway after our main food order was placed. I chose a 'bistec' (thin flat steak) with an adobado sauce - which when I asked for a description of, (thinking it was a version of adobo?) I was told by my server they had not tried it, but 'did not think it was spicy'. I am okay with some spice to my food, so I ventured for it. It was indeed spicy. I was able to enjoy it regardless, with the accompanying avocado / mash / salad.. My dinner companion ordered a different dish altogether, and it was covered in the same sauce (not disclosed on the menu) - she would have liked some sour cream to accompany, but never again did our server visit the table until it was clear we were no longer eating. I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying the place, but I was not impressed.

I really appreciate the speed and the willingness to bring more free chips! Normally I go straight for the tacos, which are always a hit. The specials on the back of the menu are SO worth checking out for some more unique finds. Today I tried a torta (forgive me forgetting the menu name) with birria that was absolutely fantastic. The combinations are also a great price, especially if you can make it for lunch. Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention the happy hour. You can get some great deals here and they have an excellent drink selection. Alongside the alcoholic beverages there are also non-alcoholic smoothies with the same flavor options as daiquiris, so great options there too!!

Plaza Mexican is a cut above most. The decore is eclectic, walls covered with a zany mix of brown gunite-like gravel, white and silver tile, faux brick, etc.--a definite Aztec vibe, I believe. We went there with one of our toddler grandsons and our daughter. We ordered table-side guacamole, enchiladas, street corn, fried plantains, and a novel Philly cheesesteak burrito. Well our little guy loved the guacamole, eating almost the entire bowl. For the adults, it could've used a lot more lime juice, and seasoning. The street corn was okay, but could have been sweeter. My burrito was a cheesy mix of lightly sautéed green peppers, onions, and queso cheese. I was slightly disappointed with the meat. It was definitely ground beef, and I expected more like a minute steak. But it was an interesting dish that I would probably order again. The menu said it had mushrooms, but they were hard to find. I washed it down with a draft Negra Modello. Our grandson and daughter liked their enchiladas. Our server was pleasant and on the ball; she gave us excellent service. You're lucky to have the plaza in town. I know it has been in business quite a while and they do a great job!

My taco was really good. My quesadilla was crisp but the cheese was a little bland. The salsa was really good. My one criticism is the restroom.
