Let's be fair to Aztecas: I may not have been the ideal customer when I walked through the door. I was just getting over a stomach bug, which means my digestive system and I were still negotiating the terms of our relationship. So when I chose a Mexican restaurant for dinner, that may not have been my most strategically brilliant decision. That said, what I did have was quite good. Actually, better than I expected based on the restaurant's overall rating. Aztecas has a nice environment, the staff was friendly, and the food I tried was solid. I just wasn't exactly operating at 100 percent, so I'm willing to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt that I might have enjoyed the experience even more under better circumstances. You know it's a rough week when your stomach is the toughest restaurant critic at the table. Still, even with my questionable timing, Aztecas delivered a good meal in a pleasant setting with friendly service. Four stars. I think this place is better than its overall rating suggests, and I'd be willing to come back when my stomach and I are once again on speaking terms. read more

Always delighted to visit here -- it never disappoints. The service, atmosphere and FLAVOR are excellent. Saraland needs an audit and some chef training on how to cook/season shrimp! read more

Aztecas Restaurant & Cantina - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Went here recently. I am 21 years old from a different state. Refused to serve me even after showing my ID. I was told to go to the bar to order and I did and they also refused to serve me after showing MULTIPLE types of ID, and after I was told I can drink at the bar. Do not come here if you are not from Alabama because they do not feel comfortable serving you. read more

Went into Aztecs for dinner and our family spent well over $100. The waitress never brought out the queso. We paid her to the check not realizing it. Prior to leaving we realized we never got it. When we asked the waitress to kindly take it off our ticket she stated she had to ask her manager. After spending that amount of money and leaving a generous tip it was very insulting for the manager to say she had to view the video to seeing the waitress actually set the $5 queso on the table. I will never visit this establishment again and will encourage the many invidisks that I know in the city to not patronize this business. Apparently that's the procedure according to them read more

This place was great! Stopped in after leaving the Mobile airport. I wasn't familiar with the area, and it had about 4 stars on Yelp. Everything from the service, to the Modelo, to the chips & homemade salsa (ask for the spicy--it's a perfectly balanced charred tomatillo salsa with excellent flavors) to the chicken & rice was awesome. Glad I picked it! read more

I typically love this place when we are in town and the poblano soup is amazing. Unfortunately this time the poblano soup had almost a salty bad taste. I felt very sick afterwards. Still will come back but it wasnt the greatest. Now the birria tacos are always a must, they are perfect. They used to have it where you could get one but now only 3 which also very sad. read more

Aztecas Restaurant & Cantina - Premium marg - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Food is great but if your order gets messed up you will get treated like you are the problem instead of them trying to resolve. Christina blatantly admitted to missing items out of our order when calling to complain then continued to still try and tell us WE were wrong for there miss doing. Very odd. Just very stuck up. I'm sure she is setting a great example for hospitality :) read more

This place is pretty good Tex-Mex. The interior aligns with the Aztec name and very clean & colorful. The staff provided standard service, and the menu had the usual offerings for this type of restaurant. The food was very flavorful and well prepared. We tried 2 things on the menu that were popular: Quesabirria and the Victoria bowl. We enjoyed both without complaint. Will be back for sure! They did offer wings and a chicken sandwich for those not interested in the Tex-Mex items. The queso was good but had a kick to it, so keep that in mind if you are expecting something more mild. read more

Food used to be high quality when they first opened but since then it has gone down. My mother found a small roach in her salad bowl and all the waitress can say is oh I'm sorry and took it off the bill. TBH for this kind of experience I expected them to cover the entire bill but no, no one came out and apologized or cared. Manager asked for a picture and the waitress took a pic but that was all. We didn't hear anything or even see the manager at all. Another time we went I ordered tacos and my ground beef tasted like there was sand in it as if they scraped the bottom of a pan. It was disgusting and I don't think their kitchen is sanitary. Will NOT be coming back here. read more

Aztecas was amazing! The set up of the restaurant is so nice. I love that they have indoor and outdoor seating options available. The bar area was beautiful too. We were immediately seated (around 4:00 on a Saturday afternoon). The margaritas were decent size and price. The food was delicious. I ordered the birria tacos that were delicious. The dish comes with 3 but I could not eat them all. The tacos also came with this bean soup side that amazing. The flavor was out of this world. I can't wait to go back. read more

The Food was very nice and hot right as it came out. It was the service that needs EXTREME work. I wasn't even given a ticket after i waited 15 minutes after I had paid in full and I had also tipped. I had returned at a later date and the hostess took it upon herself to approach aggressively accusing that I had never paid. read more

The Barria tacos were magnificent! I've seen these all over Tik Tok and finally found a lace that makes them. They were nice and hot when they got to the table. It comes with an incredible bean soup-frijoles charro- that is full of wonderfully flavor. The margaritas are on point as well. Just one gets the party started. I recommend the Tamarindo. It's sweet and sour and packs a punch. Our waiter, Jesus, was awesome. read more

Aztecas Restaurant & Cantina - Barria Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Food was good. Donald Trump was the cook. His secret sauce (he calls it birria) is soooo good. Aztecas is also very colorful.

Well- we can say without a doubt it was worth the long wait! The decor was full of color and tile-everywhere and the food was delicious- I have fond memories of eating at this location many years ago when it was Sabro. But all traces of that restaurant are gone. The place is so much larger than I remembered. The food was top of the line - just what we needed in West Mobile. Savory was our waitress and was great! When it comes to parking you may have to use the lot next-door to the right by Cicis pizza. And be patient with the service -- the food is worth the wait just like the opening of this beautiful restaurant was. read more

Service was horrible . I believe the servers name was jewel. She was very rude and passive aggressive. I will never come back to this restaurant if that's how they allow their employees to treat the customers. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant. I have had the Burrito Loco on several occasions. Always point on. Chips and salsa are fresh never disappointing. Service excellent. read more

*Airport Blvd Location across from Providence* We had a kind waiter and colorful layout with plenty of seating that was beautifully decorated. The restaurant is very clean and vibrant! The birria street tacos are so delicious and so are the shrimp tacos. The queso is super milky and nasty, so I would avoid it as a starter. The salsa and chips are very delicious. The Mexican rice is also tasty. We came looking for birria and were not disappointed. read more

My experience was amazing, service was so quick and efficient. Had a small issue and the manager came over and got it handled very quickly! She didn't look annoyed by our complaint and had a smile on her face the whole time. Shout out to Rosie and the manager Kristina for making our experience at Aztecas's on airport Blvd so great ! Me and my family will definitely be back to see those two! Food was amazing as always! read more

I went on a Friday night. The food and drinks were good and the service was really good. But the music was so loud we felt like we were having to shout at each other. When I asked about it I was told that's just the way it is on Fridays and Saturdays. Turn the music down, it's not a bar! read more

A great addition to the West Mobile area! My wife and I recently checked out Aztecas. We started off with chips, salsa, and an order of the large queso. The queso was delicious! Two people could get away with ordering the small. The Tropical Margarita did not disappoint us in look or taste. We had different opinions as far as entrees go: - The birria tacos- flavor was good, but not crispy enough. Our waiter ended up bringing me an extra with cheese, which had a better texture and flavor. - The enchilada supreme- My wife described them as "wimpy". It's four different kinds of enchiladas, but size and fullness were sacrificed for variety. However, the night was rounded out by an excellent "Apple Rustica"- a warm, apple pie-esque pastry topped with vanilla ice cream, a fried cinnamon sugar tortilla, and drizzled with caramel sauce. Our service was excellent- he gave us our time while also being attentive and making helpful recommendations. Best of all was the environment. When we first walked in, we agreed we felt like we were in Mexico in Walt Disney World's Epcot. They did not skimp on decor, and the vibe is unmatched in this area. A surprising twist was when the lights dimmed and music volume was turned up at 8pm, turning the restaurant into almost a party scene. Considering appetizers (4/5), drinks (5/5), entree (4/5), dessert (5/5), service (5/5), and environment (5/5)- we rated this an overall 4/5. The salsa was a bit too spicy for our enjoyment and the enchiladas were a disappointment, but that is not enough to deter us from returning to this West Mobile treasure. read more

We moved here from San Diego, CA four months ago, so we were accustomed to really good Mexican food. We've tried a few Mexican restaurants here and hadn't found one where we really liked the food. Azteca has great, authentic Mexican food. They have a great selection on the menu. Our server was really good, and our food came out nice and hot in only a few minutes. I think we've found our new favorite Mexican restaurant! read more

After coming here once, I haven't been to another Mexican restaurant in mobile in the last year. Nothing compares. There's one 10 mins from my house that I ate at for YEARS almost weekly and this place makes it seem like trash. So worth the drive. The food never disappoints. Never. The service is always top notch. The atmosphere and everything in general is unbeatable. If the owner reads this.....Job well done! I haven't even ate here in a week but woke up today thinking about it and decided to look it up on yelp and this place deserves 5 stars. Think I'll come for lunch!!! If you need a recommendation.....GET THE BIRRIA TACOS. read more

We've been waiting to try this place for the longest time. The parking lot seemed almost full, but the inside of the restaurant was so spacious. We were seated immediately on a busy Saturday evening, which is awesome. The server, Isaiah, was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the shrimp dip, the Birria Tacos, the steak street tacos, and a drink. Everything was soooo delicious! This will be the only place I go for Mexican food from now on. read more

Aztecas Restaurant & Cantina - Sitting at the bar with friends - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

I was so hype when I heard this new place served Birria tacos, but I drove over an hour to be thoroughly disappointed... barely anything in the tacos (compared to their online pictures overflowing with meat and toppings) barely cooked tortillas and bland flavorless meat inside. I'd compare it to cheap can of beef stew kind of meat. Their pictures showed 4 tacos, but I only got three but it didn't matter cause I didn't even want to finish my three. The place looks really nice inside though and has a great atmosphere and all the staff I encountered were super nice and attentive, food came out fast, just wasn't very good. read more

Great service, terrible food. I took a picture of my microwaved steak nachos but I'd prefer not to ruin everyone's appetite and post it. The servers are great, not their fault the "Mexican" food is worse than Taco Bell so I'll give them 2 stars. Very loud also, maybe that's why the cooks couldn't hear the timer to pull the steak before it turned to rubber? Also, charging almost $20 for tacos???...I know sleepy Joe jacked up the food prices but come on guys, it's a couple tortillas and a spoon of meat! read more

Never get a to go order from here, if it's missing items they make you bring the whole bag back because "management". All we were missing was rice and some veggie sides. Asked to speak to management and no one came. After bringing the bag back they asked if we wanted everything fresh or just what we were missing. What was the point of bringing the bag back if 1. It wasn't looked in and 2. You gave us the option of everything fresh or only what we were missing? Does not make any sense. Will never order a to go order ever again. Or even eat here for that matter. read more

Atmosphere and aesthetic was beautiful and well done but food and service was mediocre at best. Lack of urgency and attention with very few guests and a large number of staff. Entire staff more interested in cell phones than guests. Not worth it with tons of great local spots to support. read more
