Come on y'all, you know why I was here yesterday. I love celebrating Cinco de Mayo here for the bulls rides and other entertainment. I went around 6ish and there were many people waiting. I was told about 20 to 30 minute wait. So I went to the patio area and rode the mechanical moo moo twice. After the ride, came back inside. It was loud due to the music, but the dancers entertained us. It took a bit longer than expected, but I was seated about 45 minutes later. I took the house margarita for 10 bucks, and it was served in a plastic cup. I was just expecting a standard, but decent quality margarita since it was cheap. I was way off! After the first sip, I can immediately tell I was going to have a huge fiesta. They must have put a lot of tequila, cause I was feeling tipsy already. After drinking half of it, I was dancing to the music. The full drink left me in party mode throughout the whole time as the restaurant. For my entree, I took the chicken enchiladas got 17 dollars. I choose double rice and cream sauce. There were two nicely sized enchiladas, and the chicken was shredded nicely. It was tender and the enchiladas was pretty soft. The sauce was mild, but still flavorful to enjoy. The rice was filling. I saved one enchilada for home cause I wanted dessert too. So I took the tres leches (9 dollars), which was sweet and moist. It was just the right slice portion for me. It was just an excellent dinner for Cinco de Mayo. Service was pretty busy and got a bit chaotic at times, but they still did a very good job. While it did get slow sometimes, the entertainment fully made up for it. A lot of people were dancing and chanting to the Mexican hat dance and tequila songs. Quite a few, especially the kids, were having fun on the bull. And the professional dancers did a great job interacting with the guests. It was wild, fun, and enjoyable. I must say that while Azteca Del Oro has smaller portions at higher prices than a few years ago, it is still serving filling food at maybe higher quality than before. Maybe it was the alcohol making me happy, or the bull rides that got me disoriented. And I made the mistake of telling the operator that I ride live bulls too, because he did go hard mode on me the last ride, causing me to land awkwardly and hurt my arm. But he helped me back up and this is just all part of the fun. This is my favorite place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Overall: A read more

Service was the worst service experience, Bartender was in he's own world! Had to ask for menu and water. Drinks were watered down & Bottle water was also hot. It's embarrassing to have to post this when the person, That took me there goes here with he's family! The experience was worse than a dinner. Iservice at Chuck E. Cheese service is better than this. No problem with food that was great! read more

I was by on a recent weeknight for my final Spanish class ... :) I started with a little Azteca Queso Dip another student shared. I didn't get any of the chorizo, but it was good, and not too spicy despite plenty of visible chilis. For my entree, I went with the molcajete, a large serving of steak, chicken, shrimp and chorizo with peppers and onions and a chunk of queso fresco on top, served in a scalding hot stone mortar with rice and beans on the side. All the meats were good, I really couldn't pick a favorite. A fraction of it went home with me afterward. Nothing on the dessert menu grabbed my attention. Service was good. read more

The food was really good across the board. The grilled steak tacos were delicious and very consistent, just how they should be. I also ordered the fried snapper, and I was happy to see it back to a nice sized portion. It had been smaller before, but this time it was a decent sized fish and absolutely delicious. We had a great time dining with the family. Our waitress was super on point very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. The restaurant was also nice and clean, which I really appreciate. Overall, a solid experience and I'll definitely be back. read more

The warm ambiance and music first greeted me when I walked it. I have been a few times before for both dine in and take out. The flavors today did not disappoint. We ordered a side of guacamole as an appetizer and lemonades to drink. What I want to highlight is the Salmon Mariscada. It was so so good. The sauce was amazing. I didn't want to waste a drop. I would buy a few bottles if they sold that sauce by the bottle. The staff was attentive and checked in periodically. I would definitely return and have the Salmon Mariscada next time I visit. read more

Small chain Mexican restaurant located in West Orlando just a few miles from infamous "Crime Hills" area. Not sure how authentic it is but the food here is pretty decent. Been here a few times with some colleagues for grub and margaritas. Drinks are delicious and strong. Everytime I've dined here, I ordered the arroz con pollo (chicken and rice) with mushrooms in a tomato based stew. This is my go to dish when I'm indecisive but it always hits the spot. Portions are pretty generous and makes for great leftovers. If you're in the area and want something comforting, give them a try. read more

KUDOS to June for providing supreme quality customer service! I ordered the Chile Relleno Combination Dinner on my birthday! It was delicious! The ambiance was jamming! I highly recommend all to come and visit to support this local business! read more

Meh. Nothing to write home about here. Chips and salsa were good. I ordered the chicken flour flautas and they came out as what looked like and tasted like corn tortillas.. I did verify that they were flour, just didn't have that lighter crops that I prefer. The shell was hard crunchy and they weren't great. The marg was on HH so that's nice but I couldn't drink it, too much sweet sour mix.. ugh. Service was fine. I feel like I've had lunch at another location and a different order which was much better read more

My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner. We started with margaritas; I got a flight and he got a standard margarita in a huge glass. The flight was great and came with a firecracker, which was a delightful touch. I especially liked the spicy pineapple margarita, which is a favorite of mine. Dinner was also delicious. We started with the queso and then went on to dinner: I had the soup and elotes (I am an elotes fanatic) while my husband enjoyed his birria tacos. Everything was delicious and very big portions, so we left satisfied. This is not super fancy but rather traditional Mexican food options done right, and that absolutely made it hit the spot. We also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Service was quick but not rushed, and they were busy but not slammed. On a Friday night, they had a live mariachi band roaming around playing music and singing. Such a nice touch! Also, the restaurant itself is in a great spot and decorated festively. I'd definitely return again! read more

We have been coming to Azteca for two plus years in winter garden and on colonial which is close to our house. We love the one in winter garden and will frequent the one on colonial because of proximity. Unfortunately the last couple time it has been extremely noisy you can barely carry on a conversation. Ok I let it go because it's close!! Stopped today after an event and it's fairly busy but the waitress was on her game taking care of us and proceeds to take our order which we pretty much get the same thing every time which is 3 tacos dinner. Although this time we were told we cannot mix our tacos aka two carnitas and one carne Asada which we have done multiple times over the past two years. Jerry said no can't do that... huh we have done it I don't know how many times but Jerry said no sooooo it is what it is! Obviously the food, experience, service can very from franchise to franchise :/ .....good thing as a customer we have choices and this establishment will not be on the list any longer. Thank you Jerry Jerri or what ever it is ;) read more

I haven't been to azteca in a long time. So we decided to stop in for my birthday lunch. It was not busy and our server was great! The food was fresh and hot. I got the chimichanga and a margarita flight neither disappointed. My best friend got the fried snapper which she said was very good and she got a top shelf margarita which she said was prepared perfectly and was very smooth. They also had a woman pressing fresh tortillas which I loved. I would absolutely come back to try more items and take advantage of their 2-4-1 drink specials read more

Azteca is my favorite Mexican restaurant in regards to flavor in the Orlando area. However, this particular location really lacks in the service area. Tonight, my daughter and I came in around 7:45 (Sunday) and it wasn't busy. We were seated, chips and salsa were dropped off right away and the server took our drink order. 20 minutes later, another server asked if we've been helped and I explained that we ordered our drinks 20 minutes ago and haven't seen anyone since. My daughter said it was closer to 30 minutes. I do know that another table was sat after us and they had their drinks and apps before we got our drinks. Anyway, the new server took our order and we got it shortly thereafter. Both servers checked on us once, but our original server was slow and late. The food was good. I recommend going to the Winter Garden location, which is where we normally go. The food and service are both very good there. read more

Went to the movies and figured we would stop by on the way home. The service was meh and the food was lack luster. I felt left out the entire time. We sat outside to enjoy the weather and we had to walk inside and ask others to bring our waitress back. This was my first experience here and my last. I asked about the happy hour and was given the menu without any context. When I asked what the difference was in drinks since the price was the same, the waitress told me it was 2 for 1 with the most unnecessary attitude. I had to explain that it was my first time and she then let up. We also thought there was a hair in the food and when we asked the waitress to clarify, she said, "I don't think it's a hair" with uncertainty. We figured it wasn't a hair and she at least offered to remake the food but she should be more certain in cases like this. Won't come back but if you may like it. It doesn't blow your socks off but it's decent. read more

Azteca is always a great time! I usually come during happy hour when they have 2 for 1 margs but today I came during lunch. I got the margarita flight and the carne asada y mas. Margaritas were great as always. The food was delicious also. The wait staff was attentive and friendly as well. They have music playing very low and ambient lighting. They have a mariachi band on specific days so check with the restaurant before coming in if that's not something you enjoy read more

The family and I wanted to go somewhere for dinner and naturally we all agreed with Mexican, duh!!!! We all ordered something different....tacos, burritos, nachos but there's something magical that happens in my spirit when I see the sizzling dance on my plate as fajitas come out the kitchen so thats what I got and it was *chefs kiss* I also ordered the margarita flight which had 4 margaritas for $18 (I mean seriously - jumps in glee). It had a Tamarindo, Dragon Fruit, Coconut, and Watermelon Margarita....SO GOOD!!! Honestly writing this review makes me want to go back so you know they won me over. Make sure to check them out!!! read more

Drink Drank DRUNK!!!! I have no idea how good the food is here because I believe the last time I was here was may be a few years ago. But I can certainly say that the drinks here are to die for. Super delicious and will give you what you need. However, my bartender didn't ask me any flavors for my don q drink. That was quite unprofessional. Outside of that one of the drinks that was in the flight tasted horrible and he made it over, but he made it in another glass, which was technically a little smaller than the rest of the flight glasses. Outside of that, it was just a overall poor ability to communicate. Moreover, it didn't ruin the overall experience. The drinks were absolutely delicious and that's pretty much all I have to say for a Friday. But I employ anyone looking to come here for drinks to come during the happy hour, because we missed the happy hour sadly. But please check it out for yourself! read more

Second time I forget to not come to this place and the reason is simple .... The prices are ridiculous, they are more than double the price of their competition !! I do not understand who thinks these food is worth those prices. To make matters worse they limit the amount of chips you can get and with those prices is just unacceptable. Never again I will never forget and no more chances. read more

Slightly pricey but worth it. Not all Mexican food is made the same. We've been regulars here for a while now because their high quality food is consistent. I HIGHLY recommend the tacos al carbon de asada and corn and tequila chowder! This is not your greazy cheap taco truck food (not that I'm hating on the taco truck!) but this ain't that! The staff is friendly and feel like home. The drinks are strong and sooo good. The vibe is fun and bright and sexy. I loooove this spot. read more

Last night friends and I dropped in for early light dinner. We opted to share appetizers, to start the chips and salsa were fresh and house made. We shared the Mexican Shrimp cocktail which was amazing in presentation and taste. The pork quesadilla was flavorful and easily shared. We ordered a chicken enchilada dinner that we shared. I could make a meal of the Mexican Shrimp cocktail and the chips with salsa or queso dip. Service was excellent and our server was very helpful. read more

We had a great first time here. The ambiance is comfortable and casual, and the decor is nice. We were seated in a booth near the bar. The customers are a little loud by the bar, but we adjusted. Service is great. All of the waitstaff who helped us were friendly and kind. They had a mariachi band too, which was fun! For our appetizers, we shared both the guacamole and the queso. With the guacamole, a server comes to your table and makes it in front of you. He really put on a show, juggling the ingredients as he mixed everything. Unlike myself who loves cilantro, my aunt has the gene where cilantro tastes like soap to her, so we were able to customize with no cilantro, as the guacamole is made fresh. It tasted refreshing and delicious. Our queso was great as well. We had raw jalapeños on the side which we put in it--they were actually spicy, which we enjoyed! The complimentary salsa was also yummy. For my drink, I ended up choosing the dragonfruit margarita (Dulce Vida Reposado, Dragon Fruit syrup, Barrows Intense Ginger Liqueur, lime juice.) It was too sweet for my liking, and all I could taste was syrup, which was disappointing since other reviewers seemed to rave about their margaritas. My mom and my aunt got the skinny margaritas which were not their favorites either. Perhaps we just chose wrong. Next time, I will choose a different drink. For our entrees, my sister and I went with the carnitas burrito (Flour tortilla filled with pork carnitas, stuffed with Mexican rice, refried beans, onions & green peppers. Topped with burrito sauce & blend of Jack & cotija cheese. Served with sour cream.) Our mom and her sister went with the carnitas tacos. Our burrito was gigantic and was flavorful and tasty! It could have used more meat inside, but it tasted great. Over all, they were satisfied with their tacos too. I am definitely interested in coming back and trying more items! read more

Had to choose a place to meet a friend midway from downtown to Wintergarden. This was ideal. All was good till they came and rushed us out, with 'are you done', here is the bill and u need boxes etc. They were not full by any means. Was weird. Don't bring boxes or check till we ask for it. read more

To be honest I absolutely loved this place service and atmosphere wise. It was SUPER busy and management was very attentive. There is someone going around asking if you would like fresh guacamole with a cart and he makes it right in front of you. They have a photographer to take pictures of you if you'd like. The bottle water was fancy and did taste great. I am giving the restaurant 3 stars due to the lack of flavor in the tacos. Our tacos were really bland. I would say the kids quesadillas had more flavor. The chips and salsa were great, we did ask for queso and never got it so we just asked for the waiter to cancel it. The price of the food was pretty pricey , $21.50 for 3 tacos , a cup of rice and some refried beans is a little excessive especially if the food doesn't have flavor. It was nice to try for the first time but most likely won't be back. read more

Carlos was very nice, patient, and professional. He really stood out to us and we had a great time!

I have frequented this original location of Azteca D'Oro for many years now. I always knew them to have the best Mexican flavors and affordable pricing. Ever since they expanded to different locations I noticed the menu prices have steadily risen. A meal used to be under $20 here and now every meal is over $20. We came here on a Saturday afternoon for the unlimited mimosas $20 deal which is worth it only if you drink at least 3 mimosas. We were immediately sat in a booth at the bar. The bar was quiet and almost empty so it was a calm time of the day. There have been other times in weekends when they have live mariachi and the whole restaurant is almost completely full. My girl friend got the Milanesa de pollo which is supposed to be smothered in queso. However, there was barely enough queso to go with this size of chicken breast. When we asked for more, we were charged $5 extra by the server. In the past, the amount of queso has never been an issue when ordering this dish. I chose the safe route and ordered their infamous sizzling shrimp fajita meal and this was a plentiful dish worth the price. The food is well seasoned and I appreciate the authenticity with traditional Mexican dishes as well as Tex-mex dishes like quesadillas for the more simple palettes. Of course I'll keep returning for the food and probably not for the unlimited mimosas deal. I enjoy their margaritas much more than anything and those are worth it every time! read more
