Love this place. Fresh flavorful food. Very reasonable price. Lunch menu with good portions. I tend to go with the Pollo con Crema. Always attentive staff. Live musicians walk around on certain nights. I have never left unhappy. read more

This place has gone way down hill lately. And the manager wether argue with you than provide good service.

The whole famiky loves this place if i want mexican food i will. Not go anywhere else always great food and service i try to go atleast 2 times a month just over all a great place read more

Working in Charlotte for a month. Stayed very close to Azteca and we couldn't stay away from this place it was good the 4 times we visited! I have been to a good 25+ mexican restaurants back at home in NYC and plenty in Texas, this by far the best I've had. Would definitely recommend, come hungry they have combo diners that are huge plates. Will need to be rolled out when your done eating lol. A+ read more

Their salsa bowl is so tiny .and they do not give you more than 2 .they say they charge you after second tiny bowl of salsa its hard to dip in and you have to pay extra If you wanna get larger bowl like the ones on other Mexican restaurant comes with long bottle neck bottle for free of charge they give you . They give you basket of chips with not enough salsa sauce . I didn't like that. Tiniest salsa sauce I ever seen. And they raise their price on the special menu items like dos compadres is like 22.95 its expensive I will not be ordering from that menu again. Last time I was here dos compadres was like 18 dollars. Azteca become very expensive now . I would probably try different Mexican restaurants way cheaper and taste just as same read more

Pretty decent Mexican food in large portions. The prices seem to have gone up a bit since the last time I've ate there. You have to try the guacamole made by the person who goes around offering it. The wait time was a little long. read more

Great experience. Quick friendly service, good food and the staff were always present and visible.

Frozen margaritas and tres leches cake for us tonight. "best tres leches on this side of the boarder" they say and I agree. read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - churros anyone? - Mexican Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Food was good, but overpriced. This is a gringo's restaurant, not one for Mexicanos. With so many choices, I would only come back if looks were most important. read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Unique and delicious homemade salsas. Been going for almost two decades. I might be vanilla but I love the Arroz con pollo. My children live the soups. Large portions and always friendly. The homemade guacamole. read more

Very good family restaurant and good quality Mexican food for this part of the country (southwest is still the best for Mexican food).

So disappointing ! Margarita's were terrible- tasted like sour mix and the beef tacos were mushy and terrible.

It's is very good tasting servers are amazing and there sodas hot dirfrwnt and food is very authentic

double food at best. flavors were weird. staff was nice and fast. prices seem expensive for what you get. won't go back

I totally loveeeeeeeeeeeeee Mexican food. This place is one of my favorite! Great price, great food, great service. I love how the place is so colorfully. I Will defiantly come back to eat sometime on my next visit to Charlotte. Aribaaaaaa!!! read more

This was the only Mexican restaurant we found in Charlotte. This place was super bomb. They had huge plates and the the carne asada was one of the best I've ever tasted. I'm from Los Angeles and their are so many Mexican restaurants out there and this spot had the best carne asada I have ever ate. read more

I am giving Azteca 4 stars for the overall dining experience. The decor in the restaurant is fun, the service has always been good on our visits, and the portions are large, especially for such a reasonably priced menu. The menu is straight forward, so don't expect the newest innovations in Latin American cuisine. If you are looking for a restaurant for a birthday celebration, sports banquet, or other event, Azteca is large enough to handle your group. read more

So disappointing. 6 months ago we were visiting Charlotte, and the mob around the restaurant forced us to give up and go elsewhere. We really looked forward to our next visit to Charlotte, so we made a bee line to Azteca. No crowds on a Friday night: should have been a red flag. Good cheese dip, and the "slaw" they serve up front is great. But the very expensive margaritas were bland, we professional margarita consumers could detect no tequila. Entrees (deluxe nachos, chimichanga, taco salad) were all very large but very flavorless. Alas, such a disappointment. We'll try somewhere else next trip! read more

I ordered a enchilada and cheese but instead of cheddar I wanted queso on it but then they gave me only beef on my taco so I asked for cheese and they gave me queso on the outside of the shell making it soggy read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

The food here is really good, and not too expensive. They have really great lunch specials and their chips and queso are amazing. However, the service was so bad. My waiter took probably close to 20 minutes just to get our drinks and another 10 minutes to take our order (after the drinks) we were probably there for close to 45 minutes before we got our food. (We went around noon, so it really wasn't busy at all) my friend, who I went with, asked the waiter a question about the menu, and he looked at her like she was dumb and never answered her question, instead make a sarcastic remark to her. To be honest, the foods good, so I can see why people go here a lot.. But personally, the service was so bad, I would rather pay the extra money for the better service then come back. read more

Great authentic Mexican style food. Didn't know the price of my drinks, but they were well worth it. Had a great lunch...I'd come back again. read more

See all

It's on our regualr rotation . Great table side gauc, Good service and for the past 11 years it doesn't let us down. More food then you can eat in three days and always a fun time. I love the Chicken con crema, the ceviche, the tortilla soup. The fried ice cream yadda yadda really a stand by for us read more

never got half my order, food was dry. chicken had no flavor. chips were good and so was queso. everything else was just not great.

Recommend getting the large guacamole with everything on it and a lot of lime juice for your appetizer

This place is really good. Food is amazing so is the service. You get alot of food for the price that you are paying for. Will be returing here again soon. read more

This place basically sucks. I'm very patient when it comes to service because I'm a server so I know how it is to be busy and having to greet a table when you're running around. When you walk in, there wasn't a hostess in sight until a couple of minutes so I assumed they were busy. I sat in the bar area. After being sat multiple people saw us and never once greeted us until about 10 minutes later. I thought about just getting up and leaving but I was hungry. Good portions of food but it doesn't taste good so that's pointless. I wouldn't go back. read more

I took my nephew here for his birthday! The service was excellent! The food was Delicious and we all got a kick out of the Mariachi band!

Love Azteca! Great atmosphere and good food! Always a fun time with friends at Azteca.

it was birthday and they didn't give me cake they were dancing cockroaches for my birthday and rats and they didn't give me my food and they're service was slow ... salsa was fire tho read more

I'm almost afraid to give them a good review because I don't want everyone to crowd the place. For a coworker and I, this is a weekly lunch stop. We love the lunch specials. For the price, quality, and quantity they can't be beat. read more

Ordered takeout yesterday, Pollo con creama and seafood quesadilla. Both were hot Delicious! When we first called nobody answered the phone. Two minutes later we got a call, they apologized, We're talking to a customer, and then we gave our order. read more

I eat lunch here once a week and occasionally twice. Prices can't be beat - particularly the lunch specials - and the quality is always excellent. Great service and excellent value for the money. Azteca's food is always delicious - I don't think I've ever had a bad meal in the 5+ years I've been frequenting the place. read more

My wife and I ate the tacos here and were very disappointed. The soft shell tacos seemed to have been dipped in oil. They had grease dripping off of them. The meat in the tacos weren't very good either. The ambiance was nice though. The waiters were very friendly. read more

My wife and I used to have dinner here at least 3 times a month, but the last couple of times have really let us down. The very last visit was it for me. The food quality is horrible and they try to make up for it with huge portions. I ordered a dish with steak and they asked how I'd like it cooked. I requested rare but when it arrived it was well done. The rest of the meal was just as disappointing, so do yourself a favor and pass this place by. read more

I ate here one night with my mom I was very disappointed the food wasn't good I ordered fajitas they were bland the salsa was watery as well

I ordered a fajita quesadilla and why I got was a fajita burrito swimming in a pool of fluid which caused the bottom to be mushy and pasty...quite gross! Don't think I'll be back!!! read more

Worst salsa I have ever tasted. They also would not modify the menu to fit my request. What kind of place doesn't modify a menu for a customer. I will not return! read more

Worst experience After waiting for an hour we left, the team is giving priority to friends Very upsetting and disappointing read more

Every time I come here the service is great and food is delicious. Use to come a lot and stopped but I definitely need to start coming back because I forgot how good this place is. read more

Took my pops there for his birthday last night, the dood was good as always however got introduced to a particular good desert. All I have to say is get the Tres Leche cake . read more
