Arrived to pickup takeout on 7/18 at 7:15. The time the restaurant told me to arrive. It took me 30 mins to receive my order. After demanding a refund the owner Ramon came out with nothing but excuses! The owner Ramon did not process my refund. There are professional establishments all over Powell, this is not one of them read more

Excellent food with many options. Azteca has a great atmosphere that is modern casual with lots of local flair. The staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were having a great dinner. Visit Manny at the bar and ask for his margarita by name. read more

Went in for Sunday brunch buffet. They had sausage. All the others were empty. We just left. It was not that busy.

The waitress was amazing. The food was excellent and service fast! They worked to make my Birthday Celebration special! Definitely a

Poor service. Obvious miss managed. Frozen margarita machine not working. Needs cleaned. Needs maintenance. Staff too busy talking to friends. No customer follow up. Would not recommend. read more

We went in at 7pm on a Tuesday and the restaurant was fairly slow. We were seated right away and quickly received some chips and salsa. Unfortunately, it was all down hill from there. We looked over the menu, and all four of us decided what we were eating while waiting for our drink order to be taken. Sadly, it was a drink order that would never happen. Despite the fact that there were employees bussing tables no one seemed capable of getting us drinks. After about 10 minutes of this I decided it was time to leave and asked the hostess if we owed anything for the chips and salsa. She had no clue but flagged down a waitress helping another section who was surprised we had not been helped. As we were walking out she told a waiter that was walking by that we were in his section. He just said "I know" and continued out onto the patio to serve another table. It was the same guy who was bussing a table next to us but didn't have the time to take our drink order. Needless to say we will not be returning here. read more

Been going to Azteca for a year now and the last 3 times the food and service got progressively worse. This last time we were actually seated for close to 20 minutes and ate all our chips before we left because not ONE server stopped to ask us ANYTHING. Manny even came by about 15 minutes in telling us someone would be right there. HORRIBLE service. Mi Cerrito in Delaware is SO MUCH BETTER than Azteca on so many levels. read more

This place used to be our spot for YEARS- ever since they opened. Lately the service is awful. Every single time we come it takes forever just to even get drinks let alone place our order. Not what it used to be at all unfortunately. read more

The margaritas here are very strong and yummy. We had lunch special #7 and it was so good. The cheese sauce is better than most in the area. The salsa has a great kick and the rice is my favorite. Definitely going to be a repeat customer. read more

Food tasted good and the portions we're big but I think we'll go elsewhere in Powell for Mexican food. Came on a Friday evening - patio was full but half of the tables inside were available. Chips and salsa arrived quickly but our food took some time. Follow ups were slow and we waited some time for the bill. Ambiance had little to be desired. read more

Absolutely horrible service... food was good, but totally ignored.. two grand kids with us ..had to ask for silverware, waitress had her friends behind us and we were completely ignored.. owner of the place (or manager) condescending, rude and completely sealed the deal that we wlll never be back.. Thursday evening and restaurant was not even half full at dinner time.. good indication this placed is mismanaged... best service we received was the teenage host! read more

I ordered the Chile Relleno and was pleased that it was exactly the way I wanted it. Cheesy and eggy with a few seeds left in. Someone in my party pointed out the eclectic seats: chairs were painted brightly and bench backs featured scenes which ranged from mayan to what looked from afar to be the Little Mermaid. This decor is colorful. The waitress brought a second bowl of corn chips, but didn't offer to bring another container of Salsa, which was empty (I didn't ask for one, though). read more

AWFUL! To start, after being seated I waited at least 10 minutes until my order was taken which by this time I not only had my drink order but my food order. Then after waiting another excessive length with no drinks our food arrives... Still not drinks so I finally have to once again request our drinks then I look down to notice I have the wrong order. When I tell the waiter 20 minutes later after my girlfriend is already finished with her food at this point the waiter tells me I "should have told him earlier" well trust me I would have but visits from this guy are few and far between. So at the LEAST I would say this was an unpleasant experience with no offers of refunding or a discount. Never again, and might I add the food was very bland when I did finally get it.. read more

This place was so gross. I ordered Grubhub, and I ordered a chipotle shrimp dish. It was sweet in a way that it should not have been, and I came to realize that I think the "cream" element was mayonnaise? I don't know. Maybe the sweetness came from ketchup. Regardless, I should not have been trying to figure out where the disgusting flavor in my taco was coming from. My son got a chicken quesadilla that was so greasy he couldn't even figure out how to eat it. I wish I could have the $43 that I spent on two meals back. read more

We are huge Tex-Mex foodies. We have been going to Azteca for over 5 years and have never had a bad experience with meal or service. Manny, the owner, is great and is always ready to talk it up if he has time and hires great staff. Best chips and salsa anywhere. We have yet to make it to the Sunday brunch but have heard a lot of good things about it. read more

Stopped in here when visiting relatives. The food was reasonably priced and perfectly prepared. I had the carne asada which was tender (has been chewey at other places I've had it). Huge margaritas too! read more

It was ok....had lunch on March 5, 2012. The helpings are big, which is what you would expect. The food was average...ditto for service. I wouldn't avoid it but also wouldn't make it my first choice for mexican food. read more

Tonight horrible - cold food and just dirty Way understaffed for a very busy night Keep thinking this place will get better but same issues Won't be back !!!! read more

This is our main go-to Mexican joint. It is extremely consistent and reliable. It's not fancy and certainly doesn't have all the "authenticity" of maybe some more modernized places have, but this is what Americanized Mexican food is like in most places in Ohio. Again, I'm no knocking it because it is very good. I get the same thing every time, so I'm not adventurous. Their fajitas are solid. The top shelf manny texanas margarita is pricy but worth it. The changed to decor, which I liked it when it looked like a Disney cruise, but I guess they wanted a new mordern look. They went overboard on the liberty theme (what if you go to orange or olengangy). But I'll let manny handle that one. Its a Good Mexican Place. And service is consistent and good. read more

Not only is the food good here, but the atmosphere with the music, etc, makes it a fun place to go. We're senior citizens and despite all the noise, the crowds, the music, and all that, it was a happy place and the food was excellent. I hope they make a go of this place because its' our new place to go for Mexican food. read more

Ate here this past week. Where do I start? The chips were the high light of the meal, and they weren't that great. My burritos were soggy underneath and had an odd texture and taste. The fajitas that my wife ordered were light on the chicken and long on the vegetables. With so many choices in our immediate area, I think we will seek Mexican food elsewhere. read more

From the moment we came in everything was dirty. The bar was filthy and our table was even dirtier. The menus were almost untouchable. After we finally got our food it was mostly okay until I made the mistake of using the restroom. Half the floor was under water and it smelled like a horse stable. After that we left immediately. Just disgusting. read more

Had a really nice experience in this restaurant. We are vegetarians and found many suitable choices. Chips and salsa was delicious.

The tamales and chicken and chorizo el tapatio are my favorites. Great friendly atmosphere!

This is one of my favorite gems in town. Local, authentic, and family owned. The owners are amazing and truly know their clientele. While the name of this restaurant is obviously "Azteca" the owner's first name is Manny. We've gotten to know him over the course of time and now refer to this restaurant simply as "Manny's" we've never been questioned on what restaurant we're referring to. They're genuinely sweet to the kids and are always quick to seat us. We all typically always order the same thing and it never disappoints. Margaritas are on point and the perfect frozen consistency, which are my favorite. Sunday brunch buffet is a great way to sample the menu for a great price. If you want a fun, family friendly Mexican experience while you catch a little margarita buzz at the same time..."Mannys" is your place. read more

Great staff. Very attentive. Food is typical of the pop up Mexican places seem everywhere but what we had was very good. Manager was letting a young girl do a fundraiser for an event and was very enagaging. An overall enjoyable place. read more

The service was very good even with a full dinning room. Unfortunately the food was bland and the pork was dry. Not my favorite.

The most friendly, fun staff in Powell. Manny and the folks make you feel like your at Cheers - the waiters are well trained and motivated to make everyone feel welcome. Very family friendly and birthdays are a blast. If you haven't been slapped in the nose with whip cream, you haven't celebrated at Azteca. Food is good and the MannyRita will liven up your evening. Plan on having a good time, cuz that's what Azteca is all about. read more

Stopped by Azteca Grill for their first "all you can eat" Sunday Brunch! I have to admit I was blown away by the presentation. The artistic display of the food was unbelieveable. They had everything from Mexican Fried Rice to Huevos Racheros, made to order omelettes, belgian waffles, beef carving station, bacon, sausage, hash browns, salad bar, and much, much more! The desserts were to die for. I definitely got my chocolate fix for the week. At $15.99 for all you can eat, this is a bargain! I would highly recommend you check it out read more

Our meal was excellent! My plate stayed warm my entire meal. Manny is charming as ever, and the decor and atmosphere is vibrant and inviting. read more

Great margaritas and great patio in summer and amazing food make sure you have a designated driver those margaritas are strong

Great spot for some yummy Mexican food! Their lunch fajitas were so delicious and they give you SO much! Their chips and salsa is pretty good, nothing special. When you order alcohol they are going to hook it up! I ordered a strawberry daiquiri and my husband had a margarita and they were both super strong. You get what you pay for, in a good way! The staff was really nice as well! read more

5 stars in the context of local Mexican restaurants. Food was great; fresh and well seasoned. Queso dip outstanding, put some on my enchiladas. New favorite Mexican restaurant. Buh, bye El Vaquero read more

Great little Mexican place. The staff is very friendly and food and drinks are always spot on. (tip: get the skinny margarita. Uses lime juice instead of sour mix). read more

Very good Mexican and very good service. Try their fajita Hawaiian - it is very good!

Enjoy a large menu with tasty salsa and chips. In the Big Bear shopping center with adequate parking. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. We do lunch and dinner here. read more

Cinco is our go to restaurant for Mexican. I've tried just about all the specials and I've never been disappointed. You must have a Mannyrita (Manny's Margarita) when you go. Our favorite server is Alex! My favorite dish is #39. Fast service and great food. Find more info on FB: https://www.facebook.com/CincoDeMayoPowell read more

Best Mexican food in Powell. The owner is engaged and works 24 7 to make sure the food and service is top notch. The food is excellent, high quality, and always fresh. I highly recommend and will continue to go back. read more

Best Mexican I have found in Powell. Margaritas are fantastic and the staff outstanding!

It's a perfectly fine Mexican restaurant. Chips were served hot, service was fast and the food tasted authentic. It could have been spicier for my taste but that's what hot sauce is for. As the neighborhood Mexican joint, I would definitely go again. These 1-star reviews are just absurd. For example, perhaps Fiesta Jalisco might be better but it's 15 miles away. For someone wanting a recommendation whether to try the local Mexican restaurant, saying they should travel 25 minutes across town isn't' helpful. Let's start putting reviews in perspective. The food was good. Not fantastic but good. A couple other things... $5.99 20oz margaritas before 7pm was nice. And they have a great selection of kid meals. My son doesn't like Mexican but thankfully they also offer kid standards like chicken tenders, burgers, etc along with Mexican dishes. That's a big deal for parents with picky kids. Oh yeah, and the furniture is very colorful. read more
