The hotel i was staying at recommended this place to me. And he was spot on. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Given a table and chips immediately. Im not a fan of thick chips but they'll do. Waitress was amazing and actually spoke. Sometimes when I go to Mexican restaurants they dont speak enough English to talk to me. Food was spot on!! Best part of the trip. read more

The food is excellent! It's actually run by real Mexicans! Very friendly as I said before the food is great

Meat has great flavor and tacos were great price. Like the chips and salsa but had to buy each separate. I did pick up. Everybody was so friendly when I went to pick it up and it was ready on time. The place is such a cute place. Decorate it really well. read more

Food was delicious. Service is always fast and friendly. Small family owned business with a nice clean atmosphere. Chili verde burrito is one of our favorites. read more

Ambiance is great! Service is great! Food is Excellent! Only thing that me and girlfriend didn't like was the water.

I honestly don't know what happened to this place...a new chef? New ownership? I went here with my dad last night and what a 180degree change. It had been maybe 4 months since we'd been here but it was an entirely different establishment. They had to have changed the salsa recipe, it takes like ketchup with chunks of tomato and onion added into it and it is so sweet, no spice what so ever. The chips were cold when they were brought to the table. The margarita my dad ordered (a small) was actually tiny, and tasted like it had no alcohol. The price was unbelievable, almost double what we pay at other places and no BOGO offer. The food was just....bland. I felt like I was chewing, but there was no flavor. I asked for their "burrito" sauce on the side of my chile rellenos and thank god I did it was worse than the salsa (sweet and runny but random chunks of vegetables throughout). The rice was dried out, the refried beans were cakey and the tortillas tasted store bought. The guacomole was old since the avocado was a blackish green. I left a good chunk of my food on the plate. Our waitress was MIA for most of the experience. From the time we were seated to the time we had our order taken almost 15 minutes had passed and they only had 3 other tables at the restaurant. They also increased their prices on a lot of items, but the quality sure has gone downhill. Sadly I don't think we'll be back to this establishment to see if this was a one time fluke, too many other tex-mex places in the area to go back and waste your hard earned money on something mediocre. This used to be one of our favorite spots to go for over 5 years...really sad to write this review. read more

A good place for Mexican food. Got the chimichangas which were very good and very hot (temp) fit take out. The prices are fair. Not too cheap and not too expensive. The owner is a nice guy who seems to care about the food and workers. All in all it was a good place to eat. I'd go back. read more

I have been eating here forever and I've always loved it. My family started going here 20 years ago, which definitely says something. The food comes out quickly- usually under 10 minutes for everything and they always get my order right when I make special requests. I think the food is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and quick to check on you or refill your drink. I love their shredded beef, camarones a la diabla and the steak azteca. Their layout is more spread out so you don't feel squished against the next table even when the place is packed or when you have kids with you. Parking can be a bit crazy if you go at dinner time or on mother's day, but there's always the option to park on the street. read more

Alright, stopped in for a birthday party with the family. First, the wait staff is awesome and attentive. They fulfilled all requests and quickly. I thought the warm up salsa and chips were solid. I ordered the steak Azteca which I would think is other places bistec ranchera. It came with rice and beans. I give it a 3/5 because it isn't the best I've had or the worst. It is close. Service is fast. Staff friendly. I would have liked a bit more spicy and didn't specify that. The staff sang Happy birthday to my niece and that was a nice touch. read more

If you are looking for Authentic, fresh, delicious, courteous, and kind then you will love the location in Green Bay. Love the wonderful family that owns and runs this restaurant. They serve good food at a good price. read more

This is my grandparents favorite place. My partner had the taco salad deluxe and loved it. I had the chicken fajitas which were very good. The service here is always excellent. Located just smack dab across the street from your local Walmart, El Azteca is hidden in plain sight in the shadows of the big box giant. Don't overlook it! read more

El Azteca - a skillet of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to after a long day at work. It just lets you unwind and relax while taking in some traditional cuisine(my favorite item is the Flautas). Great food, friendly service, and at a great price. And that's not even mentioning how fast the service is too! Would definitely recommend, and have already recommended to my friends and coworkers. Definitely check them out! read more

I live close to this place so I go here a lot. The food is what I would call (fast mexican food). I know that when I go here it will be quickly delivered to me and will be tasty. Is it a fancy, all natural and a fresh mexican food place? No. I would recommend you go here if you want a quick taco on the go! read more

Uncertain what has occurred here. Owners that are sweethearts are the same, cooks are mostly the same, but the food is not. Bring back the University Ave. and pre-remodeling flavor. Please also bring back the customer service as Juan simply throws your food at you and is ignorant to the point of my family not coming back. He has some anger issues, and he doesn't hide them. It's so disappointing to feel unwelcome at our family's favorite restaurant, but it's the combination of inconsistent flavor and poor customer service for us. read more

As a Texan, I'm a little suspicious (in a horrible, snobby, "I-hate-myself-for-feeling-this" way) when my boyfriend's Green Bay family tells me this is awesome Mexican food that I have to try. I will never doubt their taste again. Seriously delicious food -- everyone's looked fabulous, and the prices were awesome for the portion size and quality of food. Excellent vegetarian or meat-loving options. I recommend anything with mole, or the burritos; however, everyone loved their meal. Will definitely be back when I'm in the Green Bay area. read more

Authentic? Yes. ((ish)) Quick? Yes. Friendly? Yes. Huge portions? Yes. Tasty? Meh. It takes quite a bit to impress me when it comes to Mexican food. Call me picky, call me high maintenance, call me whatever you want. Mexican food to me should not be doused in cheese and sour cream and swimming in a vat of oil. Nor should it even remotely resemble something purchased from Taco Bell. Although El Azteca was none of those things, it was just straight-up mediocre. My socks were knocked off, but the food definitely wasn't anything close to what the local TB serves up ((thank goodness)). I opted for the 3 taco chicken dinner with rice and beans. I found the shredded chicken to be some of the most tender, moist, and delicious chicken I've encountered in a taco. That ish was muy bueno. However, my rice and beans were overcooked and super dry. Boo...rice and beans are my favorite part of a Mexican dinner. Service was fast and friendly. Our waiter was attentive and didn't seem to be annoyed by my constant requests for a water refill. And with my plethora of requests for dish add-ins and other ingredients on the side, my dish came out exactly how I had asked it to be prepared. Overall, El Azteca is definitely not the best Mexican food I've had, but the portions and prices are right, the service is good, and they make some pretty darn good chicken tacos. read more

El Azteca is my FAVORITE Mexican restaurant in Green Bay. I lived in Green Bay for a number of years and used to come here quite often. Now, I spend my entire year thinking about it until my yearly visit rounds and I can indulge again. The tamales are really why I come here. Perfect flavor, fat content and nice and moist. I love them. Any dish I have ever had here has been enjoyable and the Margaritas are also very nice. I like to get two Mexican style steak tacos and two tamales. Oh man and their beans have a nice smokey flavor to them. I know everyone geeks about El Sarape, but I think the flavor and the authenticity is here, though El Sarapes' salsa is a bit better in my opinion. Go to El Azteca and get a tamale and I think you will agree. Sometimes the service is not as friendly as I hope for, but it it always efficient. read more

Solid authentic Mexican and our weekly go-to takeout. Best received beans in town, and try their enchiladas verde. Eat in and take out is always quick and consistent. Worth eating in to check out the Peter Koury murals. read more

Stopped by El Azteca while I was at a training at NWTC. They had very good food, which seemed to be semi-authentic, but the best part was that the food came out fast since we were on a time restriction for lunch. If you are looking for a good, quick bite to eat, stop by! read more

The food would warrant four stars but the service barely warrants two. I wish I could say who our server was but they just put an inital on the written check. Our server, who I will refer to by her initial of J, couldn't have been less enthused about providing us a decent experience. It was almost as if she was pissed off at us from the get go and my sister and I were both mystified. I ordered the combination plate #2, a taco and two enchiladas. All were good, especially the enchiladas. They have GREAT guacamole, too. After our food was delivered, we never saw our waitress again. Well, I mean, we SAW her but she never gave us a second glance, not even to check and be sure our meals were as expected and there were no problems - generally the LEAST one might expect from a server anywhere... So I spent most of my meal without anything to drink as I had finished my iced tea AND my water and wasn't going to wait while my food got cold. When she finally DID glance over (I was nearly finished with my food), she asked (from across the room) "more iced tea?" to which I responded, "yes and water too please?" She came back and set the glass of tea down loudly and refilled my water glass with such force that my sister and I both thought I was in for a bath. I said "thank you" and "J" walked away without a word. Do managers realize how something like this can ruin a nice meal? Why should any diner feel like their server is not just unhappy, but pissed off?!? A short while later I was done eating and she came over and asked, "are you done?" and grabbed my plate from the table with such vehemence my sister thought she was going to heave it over her shoulder! At this point we had to laugh but were really taken aback. At no point did she even ask how our food was or anything either. We had thought we might order dessert (they have fantastic sopapillas) but she never offered and just came back with our check, again not uttering a word or even making eye contact. Really unsettling. I hate to admit that we did not even leave a tip...the food was good and that's what we paid for but a tip is a way to show appreciation for service and neither of us appreciated being treated like we were scum of the earth. We were there July 31 around 7-7:30 if anybody of consequence (read: manager or owner) should happen to read this ...and though the food was good, we certainly won't be back anytime soon, if at all. read more

Each time I come to Green Bay I stop and eat at this location. The food, staff, and atmosphere is good. I don't have any complaints. I tried the Carne Asada de tampiquena and it was excellent, just how I expect and wanted it to be cooked. My wife had a combination plate and wasn't happy with the verde sauce, but overall was very good. Margarita was good and the coke product from Mexico was good as well. I will come back again and again! read more

Having come from San Diego, I had pretty high expectations...El Azteca did more than impress me! The food is always at your table in little time. Order pickup, and they will have your order in 10 minutes!! Food is always great here. Macho burrito is the way to go. La sopapilla (think I spelled that wrong) is delicious. read more

Nothing was made fresh (everything frozen or packaged) and had no flavor. Plus they charge for chips, what kind of Mexican place is that...

Went here for lunch recently. The food was quite good and definitely reasonably priced. The highlight was definitely the chips. They were thicker and more flavorful than most. Worth checking out if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I enjoyed a quick, tasty dinner here on a visit to Green Bay. The waiter helped me select a dish that was vegetarian friendly.The chips and salsa were very fresh. I would definitely go back again. read more

I ordered take out from here and was pretty disappointed, especially considering some of the good reviews. I ordered a steak burrito with everything. I ended up with a steak burrito with just steak (not a lot of flavor), some rice and beans but nothing else. It was really plain and there was "nothing" else in it. Seriously have had better at Taco bell. Luckily there are other places to check out. read more

Best Mexican between the UP and Milwaukee as far as I know. In fact better than anything in the UP that I have found. Although I do like El Patron in Escanaba, and also very good. I am no expert but I have eaten a lot of Mexican food and been to Mexico several times. Very authentic in my opinion. read more

Not very flavorful Mexican food. Salsa had a kick though. I had the tamales & Chile relleno. The Chile relleno was mostly egg-very little pepper. Tamales was ok. Reasonable prices. read more

Another update to state that service has improved greatly, and we have been going back here regularly. Keep up the good work, guys!

One of my go to places to eat when in town training at NWTC. Great lunch specials. Never had a bad meal.

I went here before and had tacos on taco tuesday, and then I would have given this place likely about 2 stars as the food and service seemed underwhelming. A few days ago a friend suggested I go back, so I tried the steak enchiladas which were without a doubt some of the best enchiladas I have ever had. The refills were plenty and the service good, I am glad to know there is a good alternative to El Sarape (which was very busy). read more

Good horchata and flan (best way to judge a Mexican place). Was happy with everything.

Delicious real Mexican food! Nothing bad to say about el azteca.

I always enjoy the service and atmosphere at El Azteca. As a kid Id get the chicken chimichangas. These days I explore the menu and I'm never disappointed. Portions are big enough to share! read more

Excellent food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.
