Newly remodeled, looks much more modern than the old fashioned Azteca, nice job to whoever they hired for the redesign.

Definitely an amazing experience ! First time coming here after being in the area for two years . Service was amazing , we were sat down almost immediately upon arrival. Table appetizer of hot chips and bean dip was brought to us within minutes! The food was served in a large portion, enough for us to enjoy AND take home. Had a few vegan options for my picky wife and she LOVED It and that's saying a lot because she does not enjoy trying new places . The food was brought hot and still sizzling. Our wait was slightly longer than other restaurants but definitely worth the wait as every detail was immaculate. They put so much effort in our dish, down the the steamed cucumbers were delicious (I don't even LIKE cucumbers). Cleanliness was amazing. Best restaurant ever ! read more

Went there for the first time the other day, the customer service was outstanding! They were checking on us every few minutes and were very attentive, especially for how busy it was. The food was really good and they have very big portions. We definitely look forward to returning soon. read more

On cinco de mayo and the food had no seasoning. The chips didn't even have salt on them. Its been a few year from my last visit and taco bell is better than the Silverdsle Aztecas. read more

Absolutely amazing huckleberry margaritas! Frankly, some of the nicest people working there you will ever meet. The owners and wait staff are genuine and friendly! Legitimately want you to have a nice experience. Wonderful mezcal selections too. If you want an enjoyable evening out, that won't break your budget, head to Azteca. Get the queso and ask for soft tortillas. Try the molcajete stew, and indulge in some high end tequila or mezcal. You cannot go wrong. read more

Classic Mexican chain restaurant. Good sized portions, and lots of options for margaritas (which we did not try). Not especially authentic, but tasty and filling. read more

Unfortunately, my friends and I did not have the 4 star experience that everyone else seems to be having. It was lunchtime and we were looking for a place to go. Remembering how great Azteca was many years ago, we decided to give it a go - can't go wrong with mexican food, right? Our greeter was lackluster, which is normally fine, but I'm reading that everyone else had awesome greeters so I'm a little confused. Later, the bussers were just completely drab and uninterested, and our server was inattentive. After being seated we were of course given menus, which had a huge selection. Everything looked wonderful. We waited for almost 15 minutes before our server came over, introduced herself, gave us chips and salsa, and took our orders. The chips were unfortunately stale. I personally did not try the salsa. Also, to get guacamole on a burrito is an extra $2.25. Weird. When we were almost done with the first batch of chips, she came over to take them away from us and literally took the salsa out from under one of my friends while he was trying to scoop his chip. It was a little strange. After another long wait, our food came on nice warm plates with huge portions. I had the chicken mole and it was *awful*. The mole sauce was grainy and bland, and the chicken was rubbery. A friend got his rice and beans in cute little tortilla bowls, which were completely stale and soggy. My other friend got a burrito which was basically just a pile of mush (and the expensive guacamole). The rice and beans were fine, but you can't really mess those up. In total for 3 people for lunch was $50. FIFTY DOLLARS! Before gratuity! For two waters, a "mexican soda" (7up and flavoring), and three meals. Each dish was $2-3 more than we would have paid at our local, authentic mexican restaurant. In all, we were completely disappointed with our meals, with the exception of fajita quesadilla, which one of my friends described as "decent". We will not be going back. read more

We were here after the lunch hour rush on a Saturday and there were only 2-3 tables of patrons. But we had to wait almost 10 mins for the wait staff to bring us the starter chips and salsa as well as take our drink orders. Thankfully, our meal was served fairly quickly. After we had finished it, however, we waited nearly 15 mins for the staff to return with our bill but to no avail. We realized later he was the ONLY staff on the floor. When we went up to the front desk to pay, the manager showed more interest in counting the wad of cash in his hand. He took our credit card to the one and only wait staff to run our bill so we had to wait a few more minutes. Totally pissed me off! Blown off by the Manager. ouch! There's 3 or more mexican places to eat in Silverdale and I recommned them over Azteca. The service here has lapsed into craptasticville. read more

First night in Silverdale and I was in the mood for Mexican. I happened to notice Azteca as I was driving to my client in the morning. As the day wore one, the conversation went to good places to eat in the area. Someone suggested Azteca and it was immediately and emphatically shot down by someone else. Really should have taken this as as omen. The person who shot it down, recommended Los Cabos. So later as I was trying to figure out where Los Cabos was, the closest one I was was in Bremerton and I wasn't driving that far, since I was a little jet lagged (later found out Los Cabos was right off of Silverdale Way). Make a quick drive over to Azteca and it looks like your typical chain Mexican and I'm hoping for the best. I get greeted and seated, salsa comes out and their menu is huge. I order the Tres Amigos, as soon as the plate comes out I know I'm in trouble, mix of pork and beef that was not well cooked and I really didn't even get through half of it. I really should have sent it back. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, the salsa was decent. Not recommended. read more

Ever since I was little, this was always the the go to place for everyone's birthday. As I got older, it became the meeting up place for dinners to catch up or even just to grab a few drinks. Last night, my cousins and I went for dinner & to gossip @ the Silverdale location. Christopher, our waiter, was extremely accommodating! He never interrupted, was very polite, and his quirky little comments made it that much better. He took our order & my cousins & I went about our conversations... Our waiter came back and apologized that the food was taking so long, and there was confusion to our order. But he said the food would be on the house! Omg! That's awesome but we didn't even notice that it was taking long. Blah blah, moving forward. Something came up at the end & instead of the bill being on the house, we got free dinner and drink coupons. Which I totally DO NOT mind :) Anyways, the atmosphere makes it just so homey & comfortable. They're great! Now Bremerton location needs friendlier servers. read more

I've eaten here many times over the years. Tonight was typical. My friend and I shared a fajita sampler plus extra steamed veggies, which was plenty of food for two. The service was prompt and friendly; the food came in a reasonable time and exactly as ordered; and our drinks were refilled appropriately. Delicious food and friendly service keeps me coming back. read more

Our family loves this Azteca! Good food and lots of it, and the chips and salsa can't be beat! During football season, I get a bag of chips and a jar of salsa to go for the same price I'd pay at the grocery store. The service has always been excellent, and we never wait very long to be seated, place our order, and get our food. I also highly recommend the fried ice cream. read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

We just moved here to Bangor, and I can tell you I will be eating at Azteca MANY times in the years to come. When we arrived, the parking lot was PACKED. I was a little nervous how long the wait would be for a table. There were 6 or so people waiting when we walked in the front door. The hostess said 10 minutes for a table for 2, and it really only ended up being like 5 minutes. The place is HUGE. I would wager they have seating for 200 in there. They just have one dining room after another after another. I can say that because we got to tour ALL the dining rooms and got seated in the farthest back corner of the last dining room. I grew up in San Diego, and Mexican food is a staple in my diet. A litmus test for me on an authentic Mexican restaurant is whether they have mole poblano or Mole chicken on the menu. Sure enough, Azteca has chicken in mole sauce, so I had to try it. Just because it's on the menu doesn't mean they make it well or that it tastes good. I'm happy to report that Azteca makes an AWESOME mole sauce. I wanted to pick my plate up and lick it clean it was so good. Oh, I LOVE their salsa, too. My friend and I polished off three bowls of salsa and two baskets of chips they were SO good. Atmosphere / decorations are typical for a Mexican restaurant - colorful sombreros hanging from the walls, etc. Service was prompt, friendly, and professional. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the HUGE quantity of food you get. You may as well ask for a doggy bag to be delivered with your entree because you're gonna need it. The food was excellent! I can't wait to go back! read more

Azteca serves average Mexican fare in healthy portions. While not mind-blowingly memorable, the food will do in a pinch. The meh review is specifically targeted at the restaurant's slow and inattentive service. We were here after the lunch hour rush on a Saturday and there were only 2-3 tables of patrons. But we had to wait almost 10 mins for the wait staff to bring us the starter chips and salsa as well as take our drink orders. Thankfully, our meal was served fairly quickly. After we had finished it, however, we waited nearly 15 mins for the staff to return with our bill but to no avail. We realized later he was the ONLY staff on the floor. When we went up to the front desk to pay, the manager showed more interest in counting the wad of cash in his hand. He took our credit card to the one and only wait staff to run our bill so we had to wait a few more minutes. What a woeful dining experience that we will not repeat with a return visit. Patronize at your own risk or if you're really desperate for so-so Mexican fare. read more

Adaquate. Clean, friendly, not afraid to top off your iced tea when it gets low (and believe me I can put away the iced tea!) The food is also pretty good. For folks afraid try try anything other than a hamburger or pizza, Azteca might be a good spot to help ease them into the world of broader horizons. For anyone looking for great Mexican food however...not so much. I won't slam them on anything, it's really not bad. It's just not great. It will do in a pinch if it's the only thing you can all agree on. If you want a better spot, try El Huarache down Silverdale way. read more

Service was fine, atmosphere relaxed. We ordered a chili verde burrito a la carte and a chicken enchilada combination. The burrito was well below what I've come to expect from what the norm would be in central California. No heat whatsoever, and the texture lacked the presence of tomatillos. The pork was ok but could be more tender. The chicken enchiladas look good in appearance but the white sauce lacked any flavor. The food was good enough to, maybe, make a return trip to see if there were items the restaurant specialized in. read more

It's fun being greeted in Spanish upon entering here. I've always found the serving sizes ample and the service great. I love the atmosphere, too. Great Margueritas! Happy hour is good, too. :) Location is conveniently located. Parking lot can be kind of tricky since it's shared with other stores. read more

Love this Silverdale location- had the best green enchiladas ever --/ yummmmmmmy Also our server was on it! read more

This was a super frustrating visit, I know it's super bowl Sunday but when I've called in an order 4 hours ago to be picked up at 3:15 you would think it would be ready sometime in the ballpark.... it's now 3:50 and we are still waiting.... people who have gotten here after us are getting their platters first. That's not very good customer service. Very disappointed with this visit. We have to leave a number when the order is placed, maybe they should give us a heads up when they are running this far behind. read more

I was surprised after not being here for a decade plus...that the food got better (we had stopping coming years ago because it went down hill and sizes shrunk)! I love the chicken empanadas here and arroz con camerones. Cant wait to go again, weve been back twice in the last couple months... Good fast food and service. They will also customize anything you want! Will go back, and soon! I hear they have $2 aco Tuesday's in the bar. read more

Southern California Chicano born and raised so I like to think I know what a good burrito tastes like, but this place by far has made the worst burrito I have ever had in my life. I expected more for the price of this burrito, it was loaded with all onions and about 3 pieces of carne asada if you want to call it that, and just an over all failed attempt to capture what a true burrito takes like. The part that hurts me the most was that it was made by actual Mexicans. You guys should be ashamed of serving this to anyone. read more

Glad we gave this place a second try. We had quick service, delicious meals ( chicken fajitas & quesadilla), and great service. We will be back! read more

AZTECA was definitely interesting. It has a unique flavor, it's atmosphere was terrific, service was very welcoming at the beginning and throughout our dining experience. I don't believe this restaurant is all that great, but It's simply ok and laid back. It was a wonderful experience for my husband & I, but I wouldn't come back anytime soon, just because I'm looking for that delicious Mexican authenticity flavor. read more

This place has given my husband and I a place to call home so far away from home. When his father was in the military they would come here to eat for their weekly outing and we have continued the tradition. The servers know us by name and we always have margaritas waiting for us as soon as we sit down. What's even crazier is they remembered his father and mother from so long ago! Such a great family establishment! On top of the great service, the queso is the best I've ever had and their molcajete is delicious. They also serve been dip with the chips which is different and yummy! Great place to get your Mexican food fix and even better place to form relationships! Thank you azteca family! read more

First of all I would give them no stars if I could but I cant, we had a group of 30+ people ,I order the carne asada y mojo and other people order the sample , for some reason the carne asada plate had the same meat proportion or less as the sample plate , so I ask kindly and told them what was up. The manager came , seem like he didn't care about the situation and was like if you dont want it then don't take it. Very poor service. Super disappointed, and wont be coming back again. read more

After checking reviews of this restaurant on Yelp, and trying out a patron recommendation for Steak Fajitas Quesadilla, I gave it a try...DELICIOUS! The atmosphere was great and staff was outstanding and added to Mexican hospitality. When walking back to hotel, could not understand long line at Taco Bell, when just around corner was this fantastic Mexican food establishment! read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Steak Fajitas Quesadilla, it was DELICIOUS!!! - Mexican Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

We have been to this location a few times and have always had a good experience. The food is good and the service is great. The food is as authentic as you would expect outside of the southwest. I would give it a 4.5 if I could but can't quite give it a full 5 stars. Spruce up the place and I would have no problem giving it a full 5 stars. We have also been to the Azteca by Fred Meyer on the 303 and this place has better food and better service. Its worth taking the extra couple minutes to come here. read more

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly The good: Beans and rice excellent, tacos and burros made with fresh quality ingredients, portions reasonable, service great. The Bad: No Hispanic customers (always a bad sign), salsas made for Gringo tastes, mild and weak The Ugly: Two taco plates, One burro plate, three drafts = $63.00. This is overpriced simple food, nothing special. read more

So I don't ever leave reviews but got damn this food let me down as a person of Mexican heritage, the chicken=flavorless, the quesadillas=had veggiesand yellow cheese like cmon, the rice was bland and flavorless also, salsa was something out of a jar from Safeway, and the hard shell tacos cmon like step it up a bit plz read more

Great place for beer and mexican food. Love the bar. I normally grab dinner and a beer on Thursday. Waitress staff is great and provide real good service. read more

Food and Service was amazing. I love this place. The food was well portioned and tastes very authentic. My eyes lit up as soon as I saw my plate. Served steaming hot and just simply Delicious. A very cozy and peaceful atmosphere. One of my favorite places to eat while shopping in Silverdale. read more

My family and I just moved to WA. When we visited some friends in Silverdale, I called to order over the phone. However, the person who answered didn't know more than half of the stuff I was trying to order. She even admitted to not knowing what the food or drinks were, or that they sold such items. Even simple things like super nachos or Jarritos. So, they will never get my money. read more

CHECK YOUR FOOD! I had a problem, contacted the manager Chris, he blew me off entirely, promising a make good coupon or something to comp the disaster that was my queso dip. The pandemic has hit them hard as every dish I have gotten in the past several months (takeout only) has been a short portion. I mean really short. They place the food in non transparent containers so you cannot see what's inside. You drive all the way home to find almost nothing in the containers. Eight chips for the queso? Sure cause that was all the cheese, enough for EIGHT chips. Small enchilada's and much higher prices. Deliberately cheating you cause they are obviously in financial trouble. read more

The food is good and always filling. We have to ask for a doggy bag every time. Not sure if they still have the free appetizers during happy hour. The prices are reasonable and the service is pretty good. read more

Excellent Mexican Restaurant!!!!! Been coming here since I was a kid and always loved this place alot. Awesome people working here and great food and drinks. The free tortilla chips you get before your meal is always warm and good. A must place to check out!! :) read more

See all

I'm from California .. what more can be said? There aren't many in WA who can cook like we do down here. Azteca is about average and along the lines of Don Jose's, El Torito, and Alcapulco here in the Southland. Nothing wow, nothing bad. Average price, average decor, average service. Drinks are also average. Good if you're looking for a combo plate and suffering because you have to drive 50 or more miles for one. More than likely the place is packed on Cinco de Mayo but only because it's one of the few places in town. read more

The decor in the restaurant is very cool and sets the atmosphere very well. The waitress Aura was super sweet and made us feel really welcome and I appreciated that. The portions are decent size and the flavors are fresh and pretty good unlike most Mexican restaurants. Also the churros were really good. :) read more

Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

This has been my go-to place for eating out for years. The staff is always friendly and attentive to whatever you need - it's not like those places where you may be waiting ages just to get a drink refill. In fact, my partner tends to drink a hilarious amount of diet soda when we go out, and his glass is never empty for more than a minute or two! The food is the best part, though, and it's always consistent. I have yet to try anything there that I didn't love (the enchiladas are the best, though). I order take out from here all the time too, and it's always done within ten minutes. They also give you a big bag of tortilla chips when you order to-go, which I haven't gotten at any other Mexican restaurant around here. This place is great. read more

We went to silverdale azteca last night for dinner with some friends. We were seated outside since it was a beautiful evening. Server came to take our order and I was last. I asked her what the SPECIAL was today. She looked at me with a deer in the headlights look just looking at me. Then she said she didn't know still looking at me. I wasn't sure what to do since she didn't offer to go find out and I really wanted to know. Since I was still waiting for her to find out I didn't order anything from the menu. She finally got the message that she was going to have to do her job and find out what her restaurant specials were for today. When she didn't return in a couple minutes I went inside to see what she was doing and she was serving a table inside. I looked at specials board to find out specials. Server said she was going to let me know. I just responded with "when". When our food arrived server asked us if we needed anything else. We told her that we were 1 set of silverware short. She told us that she would run get my wife some. Instead of going for silverware she stopped another table and took their order while our food getting cold. Common courtesy to wait for everyone's food ready before digging in. We went inside and retrieved our own silverware since server was in no hurry. Our drinks were not refilled and I had to ask neighbors server if he would ask our server for refills. He asked me what we wanted and brought them. Restaurant wasn't overly busy and other employees were assisting with seating , chips and delivering food. I have never been a server but all she had to do was take order, ensure we had what we needed and check on us once every 15 minutes. If I were a server I would think there are certain things that you don't do. Apparently that is asking too much of azteca. Twice server assisted other customers after telling us she was going to get something for us even while our food was getting cold. read more

I just returned from Mexico and went to Azteca for Cinco de Mayo. They were not running any deals on drinks or food and even took the 2 for $25 off the menu for the night. The food was served in large portions, but the taste was bland and definitely lacked seasoning. Authentic Mexican flavor was not achieved. The place was busy as you would expect on this specific day, but the dishes seemed rushed even though the service was slow. I will go again in a few weeks when the true flavors of Mexico City have been forgotten. read more
