Wow, this place is a hidden gem. I am glad we stumbled across is on a local facebook page. If you are looking for a unique spin on breakfast, you need to try Azteca's. The restaurant is what you might expect from a typical Mexican place. Very bright, warm and inviting. They won't make you feel rushed, but are ready to serve you. The service is top notch. We were greeted by a friendly, smiling face. Brought to our table and attended to very quickly. A nice quiet place to enjoy an intimate breakfast or a great place for a group to enjoy fellowship without feeling cramped. The food is excellent. Served fresh and hot. When it arrives, it is served on hot plates. Might not look like much when it arrives, but you will get full. And you will enjoy every bite. The coffee is fresh too. Hard to find. Tastes like they are constantly brewing a new pot, not recycling old stuff. Plenty of parking, since it is located in a strip mall. Don't let the location fool you or stop you. Some of the best food in the area. You have to give this place a try. read more

Stopped by for To Go dinner on a Sunday evening. There were multiple tables of people eating and appearing to have a good time. I was greeted immediately upon entering and guided to the bar to place my order. The menu has a lot to choose from! Service was fast and good. I got chicken fajitas and steak quesadillas - both came with rice and beans. Both were good sized portions which gave us leftovers. The meats were seasoned well and were tender. Plenty of onions and peppers. Tortillas that came with the fajitas were good. The rice and beans were good. The chips and salsa were great. The things keeping my rating from being higher: The guacamole would be better described as an avocado salsa. Good flavor but certainly not a traditional guacamole with fresh chunky avocados. The margarita was weak but I could have easily fixed it with a shot of tequila. The quesadilla bottom was soggy from grease in the short transport back to the hotel and they didn't have very much cheese but they gave us extra tortillas with our fajitas so I just put everything in the extra tortillas and enjoyed the meal. I would go back. :) read more

Conveniently located in a shopping center so east access & loads of parking. Food was standard Americanized Mexican but plentiful & delicious. Staff was attentive & kept our drinks topped up. Prices were good. Nice atmosphere too read more

Their food is really good. Have had the enchiladas and chimichanga. They need to lower the price for cheese. Almost 8$ for a cup of cheese? But the food is good. read more

Saw on Facebook, got dressed & went. Best decision of the day! Good food, American or Mexican.

Food is typically hot and fresh. It's a small strip mall Mexican restaurant, but the service is good. My favorite dishes are the chicken chimichanga and the chicken fajitas. read more

I have been to this Restaurant several times have always loved the food drinks and ambiance. The staff have always bent over backwards to make sure we are enjoying our visit. The Owner / Manger goes beyond to make sure we are Happy!!! read more

The staff was very nice, the service was fast, but the food wasn't very good. I had a fajita quesadilla that was dry and tasteless. Usually quesadillas have cheese in them, but this was just dry, chewy meat and very limp and bland onions and green peppers. The others in our party had pretty disappointing food also. Bright decor, nice people, not very good food. read more

Great place, great food, great service! Definitely going back this restaurant, was a great ending after a perfect long day. Very family friendly. read more

Great chunky guacamole and really good chicken fajita. If you like avocados get the chunky guacamole. Fast service and great staff.

Stopped in here while our car was getting an oil change. Although the reviews weren't great, we still gave it a try and it was delicious! Ordered the chicken fajitas and they were flavorful and cooked to perfection -- perfectly paired with the homemade corn tortillas. read more

Just passing through. thought to give this Mexican place a try. nice place in Walmart shopping center. the service was great. my drink never sat empty. server brought my chicken fajita sizzling and the seasonings was on point. Definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

The waiters are nice and play jokes with me and my family. Their food is a lot for one person and reasonably priced. can't go without mentioning how delicious it is. 5 stars. read more

a friend invited me to go with her and her son & his wife for his birthday. There were 4 servers y'all - the place isn't that big. It took 15-20 minutes before they took our order. The salsa tastes like they use canned tomatoes. They still have the bird poop guacamole, the cheese dip is soupy. My friend ordered a chicken dish covered in cheese, her son ordered something covered in cheese, and I wanted something spicy. The waitress pointed out 2 things on the HUGE menu that are spicy. I ordered Fajitas Camarone diabla. It was spicy but so hot you couldn't taste the shrimp or veggies. I LOVE spicy food. But I like to taste the shrimp and the veggies. For 4 people it was less than $60 so thats not bad. By the way - my dish was so spicy the people at the table had watery eyes. They all tried it. Including her son who loves spicy food and he choked. (I laughed at that one). Overall - I just stay with 2 stars. read more

I love this restaurant for dinner! The food is great and the staff is amazing and attentive. I have gone for lunch a few times too but the food is different for lunch. They use different meat and it is not good. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner! They are also amazing with to go orders and actually getting your order correct! read more

This place is really good!! Only suggestion that I wish they would change is the "water like" guacamole. I wish it was the real deal and it would truly give this place a perfect rating. It would be worth it for them to make the change. read more

I went here with some friends for a meeting. We were sat in the back and immediately given chips and salsa. We sat there for about fifteen more minutes till anyone even asked us our drink orders. I was already a little upset about that. I ended up ordering a fajita chicken taco salad. The chicken had no fajita seasoning on it at all and was very bland. Mexican food is one of my favorite things but this was not good. I'm sure they might have better things on the menu but my first experience was not one that would make me want to return to try. read more

Aztecas Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Pell City, Alabama

Recommended by our hotel staff, while traveling thru Pell City for 1 night. We appreciated the advice. Great service, quality food, awesome queso. Margarita was weak, but nothing a shot of Cuervo didn't fix. Marco, our waiter, did an awesome job. read more

The absolute worst food I have ever had. I ordered #10 lunch menu. One tamale one enchilada one taco. They had a brown something on them, not chili sauce it was like a brown gravy with no taste. Tortillas was stale. The tama was raw corn meal with stringy some kind of greasy meat. I couldn't eat it. All was extremely greas. I will never go there again. She asked how it was, I told her. read more

Meh, I always judge a new Mexican place by the Chimichanga. I was happy to see they offer shredded beef which is rare in the south for some reason. It was very unimpressive especially considering the price. Service was very fast but there was no one else in there (kinda odd for noon on a weekday don't ya think?). It wasn't bad but it had no spice, barely any sauce and the beef was kinda funky. Very mushy and the shreds were extremely fine which leads me to believe it was old. I won't return there especially considering El Cazador is awesome and basically in the same shopping center. read more

It is alright. Not the best. My dad and step mom went and ate nearly 2 years ago and they found a roach leg in the chips and they have been eating the chips waiting for their food. Today we went back just to see if they have improved which they have but the cheese dip was barely warm and it was really thick. The chips were a little stale read more

I absolutely hate having to leave poor reviews of restaurants but this was one of the worst experiences. After being seated and immediately being given salsa and cheese dip we have to wait at least another 15 mins to even have our drink order taken. I decided to order combo B. Which was a chili relleno, chicken quesadilla, and rice and beans. The food arrived very promptly after ordering. The food was awful! Super unflavorful and the chicken in the quesadilla tasted like it was canned chicken meat. Needless to say I will not be making a trip back to this restaurant. read more

Food is good. Service is terrible and my wife had a hair in her food and we told the waitress about it and she tried to get us a discount and the owner refused to let her give us one! read more

Best Pina Coladas in town! Cheese dip is amazing and the salsa and chips is fresh daily. Every time we come here we get so full. Servers are always very nice and quick. read more

The hotel recommended "the other" Mexican restaurant, but since I'm so much smarter, I checked the reviews on Yelp to make my choice. I arrived at round 7:15Pm and the parking lot was pretty full. As it turned out, the cars were for the restaurant next door. So much for smarts. I was quickly seated and my cocktail, chips and salsa arrived quickly. The chips were warm and the salsa was tasty, so I decided to indulge and ordered the Large Mexican Platter. It included: Chili Relleno, beef taco, burrito, enchilada AND a chicken flauta. I requested no rice. In a very short time, my 2 large platters arrived... exactly as I had ordered. I chose to start with the chili relleno, because it showed the most promise. I chose wisely (this time). This dish was fresh and the poblano was appropriately spicy. It was also covered in queso fundito, which is a cheese and chorizo sauce. It was pretty darn good! Now, the not so good.... Each of the other items included an overly salted, off tasting ground meat product. The flauta even had a strangely coarse ground chicken-like product, equally as salty and off-tasting. After the tasty chili relleno poblano, the rest of the meal was sadly disappointing. My server was attentive, but aloof. I could tell that he was disappointed that I didn't want to take my leftovers away with me, but I couldn't bear to kill a stryofoam tree for nothing. Sadly, I would only recommend this restaurant for a Food Network Restaurant Makover. read more

This is the "there are no other options, option". Servers are usually quick and I really like that. Food is consistently mediocre. That being said, go ahead and try to find somewhere better in Pell City. It doesn't exist. My suggestion to the owners-serve fresh food. The entire menu feels like it came out of a can, or from a factory. Is it so hard to use fresh ingredients not produced by some sludge machine in a factory? I bet even the meat comes from a can. You shouldn't run a Mexican restaurant the same way you run your Chinese buffet next door! You have an opportunity to be the best restaurant in Pell City, yet you are on par with a cafeteria. Spend a couple extra bucks and watch the crowd break down your door! Throw away all your cans and microwaves! Limit the menu to a couple dishes you spend time on and do really well. Question: Why do the chips taste worse than the generic brand at wal-mart? I eat out to get BETTER quality than I can eat at home. Not worse. And I'm surprised you are able to do worse than generic brand foods from wal-mart. I mean, that's actually impressive! And terrible. I really want to love coming to eat there! But I don't and that's a shame. You can do it Aztecas. I believe in you!!! Make some fresh food changes and focus on the menu. We support you and will gladly give you an extra couple bucks! read more

This place is just going through the motions of being a mexican restaurant. I am being generous with 2 stars. Bland salsa, so so chips, below average service. Fajitas were ok but corn tortillas stuck together. Edible yes, but can think of no reason to ever go back. read more

Not the best, but not the worst. Drinks are way overpriced. Chili Rellenos were tender but flavorless. Had to put cheese dip on it to make it better. Truth be known, I would not recommend this place. Sorry. read more

Hotel said it was good and they were right! There were 8 of us and everyone loved what they ordered. You can tell a good mexican place by their chips, salsa and Margaritas which were all really good. We will go back next year! read more

Ate there with my husband, son and grandson. We all thought the food was fine! We also thought the service was very good! They accommodated my grandson who can only eat certain foods. We had no problem getting waited on and were served fairly promptly. We will be eating there again. read more

You can typically tell the quality of a restaurant by how clean or filthy the bathrooms are. This one was beyond the latter. If they can't keep the bathroom clean they can't keep the kitchen clean where my food is being prepared. We walked in, washed hands and walked out. It was bad!! Nice enough people but no thanks. You can certainly do better than that. read more

Food was good. Service was lousy!! We were the only ones there. Seated ourselves. Order taken. Drinks brought. Food brought. Waiter NEVER came back to check on us. I was about to go to counter to pay when he brought ticket to table. Not like they were busy....could be a reason for that! Never go there again!!! read more

My chicken chalupa was tasty, but my spouse didn't enjoy his chicken enchilada - he felt the meat was barely recognizable, and there are no sauce options. read more

Very good food. My husband and I are from Texas, so we know what real TexMex food is. And this is very good. The beans are fresh refried beans. The Food is fresh. And tasty. Decent size servings, and excellent service. read more

The waiters are always friendly and your food arrives very fast. Best Mexican place in town.

Great Mexican food probably the best salsa in town margaritas are also on point specially the frozen I go at least once a week.

The best mexican restaurant in town, Great food creations. Great taste. Worth the long wait.

Colorful atmosphere but the bathroom was nasty. Health department rating of 90, bathroom was more like a 70. Food was mediocre, guacamole wasn't fresh, chips were greasy. Salsa was good, but we won't be back. read more
