If you want good Mexican food and don't want to go to Mexican Town, got o Azteca. The prices are good, the food is good, and they have quick service. I enjoy going here occasionally but I definitely have to be in the mood. The restaurant has that "hole in the wall" feel to it but the food tastes good. I love the fajiitas for two :) and no, I only order the fajitas for two to share. read more

This is not authentic Mexican food. Tex Mex at best. The service is quick but the servers are not very friendly. No one smiles, and they barely say anything at all. the meal starts with. hips and salsa, and a ranch dressing (why?) then I heard someone calling it white salsa. The menu is huge! I like options but there is almost too much. There are about 6 pages of meals to choose from. But the prices are good. Combo plates seem to be the way to go. I ordered chicken chimichangas. It comes with beans or rice with a guac. salad. It's then covered in this white nacho cheese sauce. The sauce is so sweet it's gross. It takes away from the flavor of the bland chicken inside and tries to mask the flavor of the canned beans. My husband and I both felt this food lacked a lot of flavor, and was too sweet. We ordered fried ice cream for desert. Another disappointment. It seems to have been pre-fried and then refrozen. Overall I was disappointed. I think I'll find another Mexican place to try. read more

Let me just say this first. If you plan to outsmart a customer make sure they've never been there before. The lunch special is 4.99. That is not a bad price. However, when you plan on serving your customer a different number and are lucky enough to not complain, why would you charge more? I've worked at a mexican restaurant, so i know the differences between certain entrees. When i brought it up with my waiter, he didn't even have the dignity to solve the issue himself. He called on two other waiters. The guy he called over was plain out rude. After explaining, in what i thought was Spanglish, he decided to take the receipt, crumple it up, and walked away. I thought "okay? i don't have to pay if you're going to be like that". Lucky for him, i didn't walk out and ended up paying the girl who was called over. This wasn't till after the girl called on him to bring back the crumpled up receipt. To be honest, I liked this place! I use to go with my family a lot. However, after this experience... i'll stick to another Azteca location. Word of advice, waiters? Act professional. If waitresses can keep it professional, so can you. read more

this definitely could probably be a four-star but the price is a little much for the portions I would highly recommend going here if you are in the area and want real Mexican food as they even have horchata and it's not the out of the bag kind. they are open late which is also an added Plus it tends to be a little out-of-the-way for my liking. for Decor in 10 tons to be your typical dated restaurant with kitchy decorations. but who goes for the decorations anyway LOL if you are out that way late and want real Mexican food it's right off the freeway and is a good stop definitely worth a try read more

I'm going to come right on out and say it: I don't really dig Detroit Mexican. I've given M-town a shot, and I was hoping that it would eventually grow on me, but I think my time in Chicago has ruined me (don't scoff - hit up some joints on Ashland like El Tapatio or even that late-night burrito joint El Presidente...or hell, go indulge at Salpicon or go fancy-fancy at Topolobampo). I characterize the food here as [barely] passable. The ambience is decent for what you'd expect. The service is good. It's just not all very authentic. read more

My bf and I were really craving some Mexican food and he wasn't fond of my idea to trek across town to Rojo, so we decided to try Azteca even though some of the reviews are not glowing. I was surprised at how full the parking lot was when we pulled up, but there were plenty of empty tables inside. I liked the chips and salsa that came immediately upon being seated, but what was up with the ranch? We weren't into it. We ordered some guac too which was pretty good, but I couldn't tell if it was homemade. It wasn't lumpy and super fresh tasting, instead it was more creamy, but still tasty. The menu was huge and I was happy to see there was a vegetarian section with combo options, which I love to get since I can never decide on just one thing. I decided to get the veggie combo (i think it was "D") that included one potato enchilada, one burrito with spinach (but I swapped it for a bean burrito) and one mushroom quesadilla. My boyfriend also got a combo (#16) which included one chile rellenos, one tostada and one more thing, maybe a chicken enchilada? The food came out super fast and was pretty tasty. It wasn't the best Mexican food I've had, but it was decent. It was a little greasy though, especially the quesadilla, but the quesadilla was also my favorite item on the plate. If I'm craving Mexican and don't want to drive too far, I would come back. read more

It's no Xochi's but it's close by. I haven't been since I got stomach flu once right after dining there because now I have a taste aberration for it...not sure if it's warranted or not. It'll do but it's nothing to write home about. Service is usually super expedient and authentically Mexican, both of which I favor. They always insist that I must also be Mexican (even though I'm Filipino) and try to get me to admit that I must speak Spanish. Funny. read more

Just good solid Mexican cuisine. Tried a combination plate and had a good taco and tostaguac. The guacamole on the tostaguac has a really nice seasoning and was excellent. Also had an excellent tamale. The salsa and chips were solid. Had the fired ice cream for dessert and it was excellent with a really nice corn flake shell that retained it's crispiness. Great service as well! read more

My fav Mexican restaurant in the area! I love the dip they give you for the chips in addition to the salsa. Not quite sure what it is but its delicious! I always get the soft chicken tacos with a chicken enchilada and its perfect every time. The rice is also awesome! read more

Authentic Mexican food! Very yummy and priced well! I'll definitely be going back again soon! Please try the enchiladas! :o)

This place is garbage. All food was like warm at best when coming in this past Sunday. The cook(s) probably wanted to clean up to go home, but it was only 8:45 and the place closed at 10. I would not eat there ever again. read more

The best Mexican food in town hands downs!!! The chori pollo dish is what I always get, it's so good and their margaritas are on point to put the cherry on top with your meal... I recommend it to everybody read more

I have had several meals here recently, and tried a variety of their offerings. I am upgrading my initial three star rating to four stars.

Eh. It felt like Italian style Mexican food. Mozzarella cheese on everything and I swear I tasted oregano. The chips were fine, but nothing special. Won't be back. read more

Comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. Nice size portions and food didn't disappoint. My order was carry out but next time I will definitely dine in. read more

I will be honest and say the food sucks here but I find myself always coming back JUST for the chips and salsa. they are like crack and I espicially like the ranch type dip they serve to go with the chips and salsa read more

Came back. Loved food. I just wish the server would check up on our table more often. Literally took the order, gave it and did the bill.

I could not have been more disappointed in this restaurant. The service and the food were unbelievably bad. The food wasn't just bad for Mexican food, it was bad, period. This was most of my group's first time eating there and it was also the last. As this was my first time here, I read through the entire menu. As there are certain ingredients I can't eat, I asked the waiter about how some of the dishes were cooked (fried in oil, steamed in chicken stock, etc.). It immediately became clear that there was an unfortunate, huge language barrier, which is pretty concerning when you need to avoid certain foods and clear communication is key. I wasn't going to be upset if a dish contained a certain ingredient; I just needed to know so I could avoid it. After several minutes of back-and-forth, my waiter still didn't understand my question and he just left. I assumed he was getting another employee who would be able to help us, but he disappeared for a good 20 minutes (there were only customers at 1 other table, and he didn't visit their table in all that time, either), then returned with an answer. It was apparent that he still didn't actually understand my question and he didn't even speak to anyone in the kitchen in all that time. Our table had a direct view of the kitchen, so I would have seen him enter the kitchen. For those with allergies or other dietary restrictions, lack of being able to effectively communicate with customers (or at least have one person on site who can) could be downright dangerous. Now to the food. Wow. I love Mexican food and give a lot of leeway to what qualifies (living this far north, you almost have to), but the dish I received would barely qualify as Mexican food, let alone restaurant-quality food. I ordered a mushroom and cheese quesadilla. Simple enough to get right? Or so I thought. It looked like they opened the cheapest canned mushrooms they could find and literally poured them out of the can and onto a previously cooked cheese quesadilla. I got the impression they weren't even grilled, cooked, or even warmed in any way. And good Mexican food can be nice and greasy at times. This was bad greasy. Really, really super bad greasy. I've never had a simple quesadilla that was swimming in so much grease. I had to skip eating the sides served with my meal, as I never could get an answer as far as how they were cooked and was only able to eat about half of my barely (if it all) cooked mushrooms and grease quesadilla. Now, before I sound like I'm just being picky or difficult, everyone else in my party (none of who have my dietary restrictions) was similarly displeased with the food. Everyone ordered different dishes and they all commented on how greasy their food was. They also had a lot of difficulty communicating with the server. Even if the food was free, I would not eat here again. There should be at least one employee on site who can communicate with customers when they have questions or concerns. And what if there was an emergency? How would the staff communicate with the customers? After eating at restaurants like Mexican Village or Xochimilco, you will be sorely disappointed that Azteca can't even get *food* right, let alone Mexican food. read more

First off, one star is way too much! As a fellow mexican, I am embarrassed I walked into this place this place thinking it would be decent....but it looked legit from the outside....and boy was I wrong. The place smelled like a dank basement. I was then seated outside the bathroom in an empty restaurant. wth? The waitress proceeds to bring out a bowl of chips that were semi stale, salsa and lukewarm ranch. RANCH!?!?! What true mexican restaurant has ranch at their disposal? Grand Azteca does. I thought the ranch was bad enough but when my real order came out (enchiladas), I was stunned to find them covered with melted nacho cheese, canned refried beans and rice that tasted like instant store bought brand....i thought i was going to vomit. Fajitas were not well cooked, no flavor and veggies that were not thoroughly cooked. The margarita was also served fast and tasted like watered down sourmix. It seems it was pre-made and probably sitting for a while. I have been to many mexican restaurants in my young lifetime and this was by far the worst. i will not be coming back and will not recommend this place to anyone....beware fellow yelpers. read more

I ordered the Texas margarita. I watched the bartender pour mine (which costs extra because it's better tequila and supposedly freshly mixed) out of a gallon jug. Every other margarita came out of the same gallon jug. Freshly made my foot!! Blase' food. Servers play dumb like they don't understand what you want. Never going back. read more

This place is a total rip off. They swiped my card multiple times, telling me it wasn't going through, so my buddy paid for my dinner. Later that night I checked my bank account to find out that I was charged twice. This is the first and last time I will ever go to this restraint. read more

Their food used to be really good, but a bunch of folks from our office went in there a year or so ago and everyone got sick-I kid you not. I wouldn't risk it again, there are other Mexican restaurants out there that put this place to shame. Try 'Jalapenos' just off Joslyn Avenue in Pontiac, their home-made Mexican fare is absolutely awesome! read more

My family and I went there for my daughters birthday on June 7th 2019. The manager was so nice! I kept calling to see if we could get a table for 12. He informed me that they do not take reservations, but was very nice about it and said that he would take care of us. I called again to warn them that we were coming in. He had a table ready for us and it was perfect! The manager and the waitstaff were all very friendly and accommodating. The food was great! They sang to my daughter and everyone had a great time. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back! read more

I havent been to this place in years but the food was really good some of the best Mexican food i ever had. Our waiter didn't speak english but still managed to give excellent service. This place the best food but that was almost 6 years ago. read more

I've never had a bad experience at Azteca. The employees are always friendly, the service is always quick, and professional which is surprising at times considering a good portion of them are teenagers/young adults. I've been to this location numerous times and every visit makes me want to keep coming back for more. Great job Azteca! read more

Mexicantown (Detriot) is the best place in michigan...but if you are in northern detriot , it's is good place to go

I end up here once a week craving their shrimp tacos. Their service is always fast and efficient. Their prices are very fair and you can't go wrong with the free chips and salsa. There is always people in there so you can tell the food is constantly moving and is very fresh. read more

Was my favorite restaurant until staff wanted to argue with me and my wife about a mistake they made on order not the first time this has happened this will be the last time me or my company eats here read more

If you like Mexican Town in Detroit this is the next best thing. I don't know what the rest of the reviews are talking about but the food is great and theres plenty of items to choose from. Theyll even make something up for you. The food is always served fast and fresh. And the prices are rock bottom for as much as you get. Drinks are great too along with the service. If you're lucky during the week the mariachi band will play. Their cheese is unbelievable maybe too salty for some. Chile relenos are great too. I didnt give it a five only because it doesnt have outdoor dining and the location is just outside of a mall. read more

Good, affordable Mexican food. Try the queso dip, very good. The service is always friendly and the food comes out super fast. Their chips and salsa are very good and are basically put out on the table as your sitting down. read more

Great escape for lunch on a budget. Excellent value, excellent food. Can't make any claims about authenticity one way or the other, but it seems to draw a good deal of loyal regulars. read more

I went and got lunch here for me and my co-worker and once I got back to work I pulled out my lunch and needless to say at the bottom of the carry-out bag was a cockroach. Me or my co-worker will not be eating here again. What a shame. read more

Interesting place, lots of character, not the best Mexican food I've ever had, not the worst. The service was decent for our group of 10. There's a big menu with large portions for lunch, but it's really just ok - not a place that I will add to my list of lunch favorites. I had a taco salad that was pretty bland and again, just ok. The chips on the table were decent, but not the best either. read more

How much better can it get? great food, strong drinks, great prices and great service. Their white sauce that comes out with the chips is amazing too! I've never had a bad experience and will continue to try to find another mexican restaurant that compares (I do not think that is happening soon). read more

Amazing food, I almost didn't come because of the overall yelp rating but I'm glad I decided against it. The food is amazing the atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is extremely attentive. Great place for mexican food! read more

Grand Azteca does not have a lot of offer that is excellent other than their Chile Colorado. This dish is amazing, and just like the Chile Colorado my friend's mom makes (who is a native of Mexico). This dish is what draws me into their restaurant 2-3 times a year. read more

This place is great. Don't let the exterior scare you away. I was worried at the outside Denny's appearance. The food & drinks are fabulous. They bring chips, salsa & "white sauce". Whatever is in the white sauce is tasty. Service is quick & accurate. Prices are more than fair. I keep coming back! read more

Decent Mexican restaurant, nothing that's going to blow your mind but you do get a decent meal for a good price. Chips and salsa were very good and the service was great. It's a perfect place to grab a lunch. read more

Our absolute favorite place to eat whether it's date night or a random weeknight it's the best atmosphere and delicious food .. we order carne asada or fajita Guadalajara or molcajete or shrimp quesadilla and it's awesome every time! Great margaritas too! The server's are really great and very friendly! Highly recommend! read more

Best chips and salsa...comes with sour cream dip...amazing! Food is good.
