I used to love going to Azteca and it slowly has just gotten to be horrible. The food has come barely hot, wasn't my order and the lack of customer service is just to much. Definitely won't be going there any time soon. read more

First time eating here was on Valentine's Day. I made a 6pm reservation no problem & they sat us in a nice private location in the back. PROS: The food was amazing & comes out piping hot in huge portions. The price is great, V-day dinner for 2 plus appetizer & two alcoholic drinks came out to be around $70. SCORE. Very clean restaurant & the menu is huge! CONS: My server was a bit of a dumbass. She was an older lady & kept making awkward jokes, but she was very tentative. I asked for a cup of queso/melted cheese for my warm tortilla chips (they are complimentary) & before I could even say I'll pay for the cheese she said reptetively, no, nah uh, I can't do that, we don't do that, no, & walked away. Don't tell a customer no. If you don't have it on the menu at all & cant figure out how to key in an extra whatever for cheese then apologize & let me know, don't just say no & peace out. Irritating but she didn't ruin the night & she wasn't horrible. Just a weird waitress with a tick, HA! Overall: Definitely eat here, hopefully you don't get the waitress I did but even if you do, it's so worth it. Great for a celebration meal or just a nice dinner. read more

I have been a regular at Azteca for approximately 30 years. I have continued to go there for this amount of time because of the great service great people great friends and wonderful staff. My wife and I consider this establishment a great part of our life. Although not always perfect it has been fabulous most all of the time and I would totally recommend it. Every restaurant makes mistakes once in a while and I'm sorry for the people that it has happened to and never made it back, give it another chance. Thank you for reading this, read more

It was ok... they give you a big plate to create an illusion that you're getting a lot of food. Ha! Other Mexican restaurants actually give you more for your money. Food was ok... service was ok too. So 3/5. read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - 12th man pride - Mexican Near Me - Burien, Washington

For me, Azteca represents the benchmark Mexican food restaurant in America. I've been eating at its original location since the Seventies, and pretty much all Mexican restaurants I eat at I compare to Azteca. And I have to say, I've never had a bad meal or received poor service at that restaurant, which is saying a lot since I've been going there on and off for thirty five years. And as Mexican food has changed over the years, Azteca remains true to their original recipes, at least as far as their standard fare, the chimichangas and the chile rellenos, but their entree selections offers plenty of nouveau and " authentic" Mexican food selections. The service is always impeccable drinks and dinner order taken promptly, delivered promptly, and drink and chips and salsa refills offered in a timely manner. read more

I'm visiting from Arizona and this place definitely has great food as well as margaritas. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I was recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

Food was great. We shared the combo fajitas and queso fundito. Fundito has never been my favorite but there version was decent it paired nicely with the fajitas and tasted great just with chips. Great salsa too! (Most Important) I usually try the queso blanco dip wherever I go but that will be next time. It says it's three cheeses which scares me usually the ones I like are a singular white cheese. Regardless, Service was exceptional and food arrived quickly. We even won a toy from the claw machine near the entrance! We will be back again soon. read more

The staff was very attentive and friendly. Food was good and they let us stay and chat as long as we wanted.

Love the staff at this restaurant! The GMs Matt and Angela run a tight ship. This is the only Mexican restaurant I'll go to. They are constantly updating the vibe, and refresh the menu while keeping their core items. They are willing to accommodate custom requests. Check out their mother's day brunch - super value for the items you get! read more

I was warned that we wouldn't find good Mexican food in the Seattle area. We'd lucked out on our first trip and so thought "How bad could it be?" Spinach, but no chilies, in the "queso dip." That's how bad it could be. Honestly the stuff wasn't bad, per se, it just has no business being on the menu of a Mexican food place or being called "queso." If it'd been just called "hot spinach and three cheese dip" there would have been truth in advertising, but "queso" immediately brings to mind something spicy. It'd fit in fine at Chili's or some generic American restaurant. The beans were so-so, if a bit oily from the cheese on top of them, but passable. The rice was overcooked and mushy. The service is good. The food is otherwise mostly unoffensive, but bland. The chimichanga was greasy. The menu is really long, probably too long for their own good. read more

Would have given 5 stars if only the Margaritas were good. Food was awesome. Went to have a blended strawberry & a blended mango Margarita and they were awful! They use syrup for flavoring! Yuk! It was horrible! read more

I had Chili Colorado and it was delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive to your needs. The food is always very good.

The service seems a little slow. Ok, a lot slow. The food is always good and the restaurant appears to be clean. It is close to home, so we tend to end up here often. It's not something we choose, we just kind of end up here. The kids menu is great and the portions are big, we always have leftovers when we go here. A good snack for later in the evening. read more

Very goid place to come to .the food and the service is great .been coming here since 1978.

Love this place! We go A LOT! Thank you as always! Been going to Azteca for 30 years at least!

All I can say about the food here is disgusting. I can't believe anyone can pass this stuff off as food. The burrito I got was nasty, with the beans congealed on the side. I couldn't even stand to look at it. Taco Bell is more authentic than this place! read more

Horrible service in bar, food at this chain is mediocre, margaritas can't be screwed up... So go with that.

They do not have a lunch menu for Saturdays. Fajitas were average with the base of the onions and peppers a little on the greasy side. Service was good, but not exceptional The Macho burrito was decent and the churros were well received by the group read more

Review is for the bar 4/5/17, during happy hour-- nice enough decor. Okay margaritas, nothing fabulous. My problem is that 1. Waiter acknowledged me twice in 90 min. I was invisible essentially. 2. waiter never asked me if I wanted to order food. Other people ordering and receiving food. Wow. I stiffed him. I think I have done that three times ever! But seriously horrible service. Weird is that the TWO times he came by he was so nice. TYPICALLY- Tables with more people received constant attention. Table with one person is ignored. Their loss as I just moved to the area, love Mexican food, but am unlikely to return. read more

I like Azteca. The interior of the restaurants are colorful and lively and remind me of a Spanish castle. I love the feel of the restaurant, and I could definitely spend some time inside the restaurant, which I love. The menu is full of delicious mouth watering looking choices. I usually end up going with a combo, a chicken enchilada, chalupa, taquitos or tostadas. I love Mexican food and I could eat it every day. Azteca's prices are a little on the high side, which I don't mind paying if the food is exceptionally good. But it's not. I'm not saying its bad either, the food is actually pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. Its a little on the bland side. I like my Mexican to have a lot of flavor with fresh ingredients. They also don't have any drinks cheaper than six dollars, so I was a little disappointed by that. The drinks were kinda pricey and no happy hour prices. Azteca's ingredients do not seem as fresh I would hope for and the entire meal is just sort of alright. I would say good, but not much more. Overall, three stars. read more

Hands Down The worst Customer Service I have ever experienced at any restaurant in my entire life! Never again going to any "Casa Ramos" or "Azteca" or any restaurant that is associated with them ever again!!!! Called in lunch to try and save sometime & it turns out that they never had my order made! & at first they tell me that i had called the wrong location witch was a lie because I called the number back and it rang at the front desk! Then they tried to tell me it's because I never called back to "verify" my order. Since when do you ever have to call a restaurant twice to place an order? Then they tried to tell me that my order was partially made and that the rest would be out in 10-15 min . I asked to speak to the manager and he was actually very rude and not wanting to help or try to understand our situation. He said if we wanted to wait great if not that's all he could do that he was the owner's son with authority over every one in a very disrespectful manner. Our time is very valuable to my family & I ! We understand if they are busy and are backed up but giving me the run around and then getting treated the way we did on top of it is unexcitable ! And this is the reason for our REVIEW! Zero stars if we could. read more

The staff is great, and really friendly. I like that the manager comes and checks on you. They are always very clean when I go there, and they have great decor. There is also space for very large groups, so this is a good place to go get some grub with friends. Plus they make a pretty good margarita! Not bad for a chain of restaurants. read more

The is my favorite Azteca is the one in Burien. The greeters are friendly. The servers and bussers check up on you. Theres a variety of dishes and different combos to choose from. The food is wonderful...its just a fun colorful place with a great atmosphere. Love their deep fried ice cream read more

This place is such a nice family restaurant. I've been going here with my family for over ten years now. The ambiance is very lively and the decorations remind me of an old Spanish town. I love all of the hand painted pictures on the walls and the big black and white portrait of the owners at the entrance of the restaurant. All of the waitstaff there are also really friendly and helpful in helping you decide what you want. Hopefully you will get Andrés as your waiter! He's our favorite waiter! The portions are large and we always bring home leftovers, which is a plus. I usually order arroz con mariscos or a taco salad. The chips and salsa are also really addicting. They have bean dip, but you have to ask for them to take it out. Aside from that, some of the foods have become a little Americanized. I would not suggest this place if you wanted authentic Mexican food. There are other places in Burien for the real thing, but this restaurant is definitely the place to go if you are trying Mexican food for the first time! read more

This used to be their flagship restaurant and it served reliably tasty and large portions of americanized mexican food. That was then. Now it is awful and serves food less good than Taco Bell. Wake up and smell the coffee folks, that "food" will not support business. read more

Aztec a is consistently yummy and has great margaritas. You can count on a good experience every time.

This is the first Azteca restaurant that was opened and a few years ago they moved into a beautiful building that has a huge fun cantina, nice upstairs & downstairs. This is run by the original family and you EVER have feedback, please tell Matt the manager, or any of the staff and they HAPPILY fix it and make it better. I recommend the all day Happy Hour on Sundays and the Happy Hour menu has lots of yummy small bites (that fill you up) for just a few bucks. Taco Tuesdays & Thursdays from 3-7pm (and it Happy hour from 3-6pm) to get tacos (chicken or beef) for $1! Again, this is the original Azteca and since they have closed a few Aztecas to reduce cost of overhead, this one continues to strive to be the best. Give feedback at the restaurant and not every Azteca takes every coupon, especially if it came from a Valpak from out of the area. read more

We went here for Cinco de Mayo, which may explain the very slow service- over an hour and a half wait for our meals. We notified the manager that we wanted to cancel our order, and he promptly went to the kitchen, and our dinner was served in less than five minutes. He even gave us our entire dinner and drinks for free. We were very pleased with his understanding. The portions were huge, and food was delicious. read more

I'm not the greatest fan of Azteca. It just doesn't do it for me. Everything about it here screams "MEH." I only came here because a friend took me when I was visiting. We sat in the lounge area. A host did seat us there, but we waited for about five minutes before anyone came by. Then they dropped off chips and water and took off for another five minutes. Were they busy? Not hardly... the guy who served us was watching tv at the other end of the bar. He only walked over during commercial breaks, no joke! Food was served on a huge scalding plate. We should have shared. I can't believe anyone could eat that amount of food pooling in its own oil. I think I had a coronary just watching my cheeses harden over each item on my plate. And, well, it just doesn't taste that good. read more

They have really gone downhill. Prices are much higher and the food sizes are much smaller. Half the meals were a big pile of rice. We had 3 servers for one meal. The only time any of them came over was to take our order and bring the food. Other than that they just came by to say someone else was taking over. It wasn't even busy. One of the servers seriously looked high and ready to fall asleep. We won't be back. Plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Burien. read more

Ok. Last review I beat them up pretty bad, but I've had some bad food here on occasion. Last visit the food was good and service was great. In the spirit of fairness and not being a Yelp! Douche, I'm giving thumbs up on the recent experience. read more

I come here often, usually on Thursdays with a great friend of mine. The drinks are generous, the service is great and I really like the food here. I'm a customer for life......or until I move to Las Vegas in about 10 years! read more

Happy hour from 5-7 is amazing! The margaritas are strong and the free chips come with a received beans and salsa to dip in. I got the chicken fajitas, which were okay, but the happy hour is what really makes this place great. My friends got the enchiladas and a burrito and not a bite was left behind! We'll be back again soon read more

Ordered the pollo ala crema. This used to be my favorite dish at azteca. Sad to say the sauce had no flavor. Meat was dry. Beans were bland. Rice was bland. Just a bland dish flavor wise. And why are you playing rap in a Mexican restaurant? read more

The original Azteca (where Wizards casino is now) was amazing with very authentic mexican food. Since they have become such a large chain the overall quality has gone down to the point at which I will no longer eat here even with the super cheap happy hour food. read more

I think its really silly to charge customers 0.50 cents for little cups of salsa when ordering to-go. you guys give a small bag of chips with the order and one cup just isn't enough to consume with the chips. and if you ask for more they will charge per tiny cup? I don't have a long enough lunch to dine in and enjoy the complimentary chips and salsa so I would really appreciate it if you guys would change your policy because it makes me not want to support any of your establishments any further. thank you read more

Great stuff people. If you haven't been to the Azteca in Burien, right next to Value Village then your missing out. Literally. I come here with the same friends all the time, and it's great food. Great customer service on everyone's part (lots of teamwork it seems), and I never leave dissatisfied. Whenever your in the mood for Mexican, this is the way to go. Affordable dishes, nice location, clean restaraunt of course, and awesome...Margaritas! Always fruity goodness (just how I like it) and sometimes full of tequila (I'd recommend Patron) if that's the kind of drink your getting. I go here at least twice a month, and It is worth it. read more

Every time I go to any Azteca, the customer service is excellent!! This is such an amazing quality for a chain restaurant. I am a big fan, I don't have really anything negative to say about them. I actually want some right now. read more
