My husband and I love to go here during regular times on the weekends. It's a wonderfully comfortable atmosphere, with a friendly, attentive staff, and always delicious food and drinks. We have continued to go and pick up takeout, and were particularly relieved when we were able to resume purchasing Texas margaritas, which we bring home and put in our own blender. We're looking forward to the day when we can again sit inside at a table and enjoy a relaxing meal at this restaurant! read more

I come to this restaurant on a weekly basis and couldn't be happier. The employees are all super friendly, the food is always quick and tastes amazing each and every time. If and when you come to this location, make sure you ask for Ana. You will get the best service you've ever experienced and feel cared about and taken care of. She is one of the many reasons I keep coming back for more!! Viva La Azteca! read more

Grand Azteca - Love their Chips! - Mexican Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

See all

Very authentic and absolutely delicious food! Service was prompt and we didn't have to wait too long for our order. The desserts were not my favorite, just because the churros were spicy, but that is just personal preference. I understand many Mexican desserts are spicy, it just didn't occur to me at the time to ask before ordering it. The guacamole was also pretty heavy on the red pepper, but my 2yr old clearly was not bothered by it as he devoured the entire bowl of it! The service was friendly enough, not everyone spoke much English but it just added to the authenticism, so i wasn't bothered by that. Overall it was a nice experience and i highly recommend read more

I actually adore this place, it reminds me of a aka Mexican Coney Island hahaha but seriously the dip and chips are so good warm, I don't even want to know what that white dip is made from because it's so damn good. Super fast service and your food comes out quick, I mean quick. The wait staff are super nice. It's a good spot to get some fast "Mexican food " . The huge margaritas is a plus !! read more

my favorite mexican restaurant! we eat here all the time! i always get the fajita burrito with chicken and it is so delicious and really filling. i usually have leftovers since they give so much food. my boyfriend gets the burrito azteca and he loves it! the chips and white sauce they serve when you first get there is so yummy as well! i love this Grand Azteca and will be coming back again soon! read more

We tried out Grand Azteca in Troy. This was not a good experience. My wife had a tamale, enchilada, burrito combo meal and I had Chile rellenos, burrito combo meal. Her tamale was almost like raw dough, the meat was very under seasoned, and the enchilada was almost raw as well. Part of my chile rellenos was cold and under seasoned. The chips that came with our meal had absolutely no salt on them. This was a bad experience that will last for quite a while. I don't believe I'll return here. read more

Nope....it's gone WAY downhill.... #1 What is that crappy white dip they bring along with the chips and salsa...are we all so stuck on this ranch phenomena that we have to have some sort of white dip with everything?? I've had it before and it tastes like miracle whip with some seasonings in it...not very tasty...this visit was no exception...it was extra-miracle-whippy...blah! #2 That big ass Margarita for $7.99 and I no get no buzz??? Come on...lame...just lame... #3 At this point it doesn't really matter what you order...it's all the same...boring reheated crud This place really lacks any creativity and it's just bad.. #4 I am not coming here anymore. Bye! read more

I usually don't love Mexican food but this was delicious. Literally perfect portions and was really quick! Would come again.

I used to go here a lot. Then one time I went here, this waiter was eating in the booth next to mine. Then after I had finished my meal he tried to charge me $20 for a $10 meal. When I asked him why the price had increased so much, he had claimed that I was at his booth. Basically, we sat there for like 10 minutes and I was like, I'm only paying for what I ate, not for your food. The guy who did it still works there. I came back a few times, that dude still works there. The other locations are ok though. The food itself is delicious, I'm just mad because of the waiter that tried to scam me. read more

Yum! I had combination number 16 and it was a perfect sample of a good amount of good. Chips and salsa are great and the ranch style dip in addition to the salsa takes it to a new level! The staff was friendly and took time to ask me about my day. I ordered the regular margarita and it was good. I will be back when I'm back in town. read more

Grand Azteca - Chips and salsa! - Mexican Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Great food always. The last time we went here our waiter clocked out and didn't even tell us. After delivering our food he just disappeared. We finished our food, which was amazing as usual, we didn't have a bill so we went to the counter to pay. As we walked up we seen our waiter in his street clothes drinking a margarita. He didn't have anything to say when my boyfriend why he didn't want a tip from us. Great food but service can sometimes be shaky. read more

I gave a one star review because zero was not an option. The new menu is a mess. I ordered a steak quesadilla but received a flour tortilla covered in red liquid with cheese and meat. It was disgusting and I sent it back. I left without eating food. They didn't even ask if I wanted to try something else. The owners need to fix this new menu. It was disgusting. read more

I'm a Mexican girl and sometimes I don't feel like cooking or driving down to Detroit to actually have what I call REAL FOOD There's deffinitly a lot of Americanized Mexican restaurants in the suburbs but they all taste like mayonnaise in the taco shell, but if you like flavor, or spice than Azteca is the place for you, I love everything I've ever tried here 5 stars! read more

After living in Michigan for 30 years, I wound up taking a job in San Diego where I have resided for the last 6 years. Living literally 5 minutes from the Mexican border has resulted in me being able to enjoy some pretty fantastic Mexican food over the last several years. Now, every year I come home to visit since all of my friends and family are still here and usually when I come back someone will tell me that I have to go to some Mexican place because they have the best Mexican food evers!!! Except they never do. The food always winds up tasting like they bought some Ortega taco shells from Meijer and then had a school lunch lady make some generic tacos that are terrible. But then my friend Schuster said I should try Grand Azteca and after buying a bunch of fireworks from down the street I was like hey, why not. First of all, this place offers a California Burrito which is awesome. Now, from what I could tell there weren't any french fries in it which... is sort of the entire reason why a California Burrito is called a California Burrito but despite this, the burrito was covered in delicious cheese and had enough guacamole and sour cream on the side to make it one heck of a good burrito. I opted for the Carne Asada California burrito since, any other choice would be dumb. And the delicious food, along with the insanely quick turn around time from placing an order to receiving the food and a funny/excellent waiter are the reasons why I give this place 5 stars. Additionally, receiving free chips with salsa before the meal made me feel right at home. And despite not having Adobada on the menu, it was still a pretty robust menu with a lot of choices. Long story short, this place is great and I think my giant burrito, along with my girlfriends taco salad, and our two cokes came to about 22 dollars. Which is fantastic for the amount of food you receive and how good it is. This place is now one of my favorite places to eat in Michigan right behind Blue Nile in Ferndale. Nice work Grand Azteca. Well played. read more

Food was horrible. Had a beef taco combo pate. One bite of the tiny taco and I knew it was canned meat. Tasted like and had the pink color and mushy texture of spam. Had another person taste it and asked, what do you taste? Immediately they said spam. It may have been canned corned beef or something similar, but it was definitely processed meat not fresh. The staff was pleasant but I will never go back. read more

My fiancé, and I came in for dinner last night. There was no wait around 5/6. They serve some kind of Baja-esque sauce, mild and hot salsa with their chips. (The Baja was strange and sweet).The server wasn't too friendly, but we didn't really mind. We ordered the fajitas for two with steak, shrimp and pork. That came with only 3 toritillas for a giant plate. It was annoying to have to keep asking for more. There were some flies buzzing around so I got dive bombed a few times, that made me a little uncomfortable thinking about how many might be in the kitchen, but nonetheless everything was decent. When we were ready for the check, the waiter brought it to me instead of my fiancé which I don't REALLY mind, it's 2018. I pay often, but I thought it was kind of awkward and tacky. He stood there waiting for our money so I just laughed and gave my man the check since it was a date on him this time. If it was a first or second date though, this would be SUPER awkward for a lot of people. TLDR: the waiter was a little strange, but the food was ok. Will probably go to the other location on mound because they're much more personable. Unfortunately not extraordinary. Pretty high price for low quality meat. Just missed the mark for us. read more

One of the worst Mexican food I ever tried. I wanted to give zero rating if possible. What they gave me as Enchilada had bad smelling and tasting chicken in it. The tacos given to my wife (I was told) were very bland. The rice given was hard. Only the beans were good. We went there 45 minutes to closing. Didn't have time to tell them and get our food replaced. So, had to eat it and paid 25$ ! I believe they know that they are giving shitty food, from the expression of cashier when I mentioned about our dissatisfaction. Poor quality food at a high price. Should have read all reviews before trying this place. Will never ever go back. Oaxaca in Troy or Carnival Market in Auburn Hills are half the price compared to here and 10 times the quality. read more

I truthfully don't know what the big deal is about this place? I have only been to this location 3 x but last time was nail in the coffin.. It started with not fresh tortilla chips. I ordered steak fajitas on the lunch menu. Burnt steak and veggies. I would not be surprised if it was reheated leftovers from day before. Razor thin strips at that. the beans and rice were good, but a portion that would be small for a 4 year old. I do not get why this is so popular. I have been to other Mexican lunch spots and have always had good and generous portions. This place is not one of them. It's just beans and rice bro! read more

the food was good on my delivery order but they forgot the drink and sauce for the taco salad and no sour cream for the nachos fyi made sure they had some thing for the salad and nachos because it wasn't included neither was eating utensils or napkins for the order and if you're not eating at home make sure to get some or ask for a package for your meal fyi the jalapeños are very hot so be prepared for that too i put some in my mouth and started choking immediately after i am usually eating peppers all the time but it was extremely spicy and hot so be warned that you may not be able to taste them overall it was very good and good portions just have some silverware and some drinks in case you need it to even eat the meal it was probably the delivery service that forgot it I'm not sure because my daughter ordered it for me because I'm in a nursing facility that has terrible food and no plastic utensils on hand at all times not picture available because we got it later in the day read more

I feel like they def aren't as good as they used to be. Seems like it's gone down a little and it's just mediocre. It's not even that cheap anymore either read more

he 5 star is based on a $$ place with a bar, Mexican food and atmosphere. This is our go to Mexican place. Great burritos, enchiladas, fajitas and of course their chips are excellent. I am not a fan of the tacos, but everything else I have had there is very good. They have a number of Mexican Beers on tap and the drink specials are generally very good. Service. Their service is excellent. Attentive wait staff who are always friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly. The tv's are usually turned to the local teams. Great food, drink and people. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to get fajitas, they are so delish good portion. Fast service very nice staff. Decorated so cute. Full bar with drink specials you will not be sorry if you love Mexican food check it out. read more

Absolutely loved the food. Service is expeditious. My favs are the lunch taco salad, chicken enchiladas, fajitas...pretty much everything is delicious. Downside: no changing table in restroom for small children. Can change on counter, but not a very sanitary option :( read more

Yelp recommended this place as a lunch spot. I've been here before and don't ever want to return for what they call Mexican food.

Just a moment to give Grand Azteca some props for their service. Cinco de Mayo. Dinner time. ... I ingeniously decide I want a tamale after my last review... I call and place a carry out order. 10 minutes. .... 10 minutes for carry out on the busiest Mexican food night ever while balancing dinner service. And my food was perfect. Kudos to you GA!!!!! read more

Love the food! Inexpensive. Knowledgeable wait staff if you have questions on the food, but not the friendliest.

First time here and the server was awful. Took over 15 min. to even get a drink order. Than took over 40 mins. to get our food, which we didn't eat, because we were going to a show @ Andiamo's. Worst dinning experience ever!!! read more

Best Mexican food we have had in Michigan yet! Generous portion sizes, carry out available.

Good food overall. Not like the over-spicy Taco Bell type "mexican food". Sadly, though, you need to stay away from their tamales which come in dry and extra-dry. Otherwise, good food and good-sized servings. read more

I love the margaritas and white ranch! What more is there? Jk. I only ever eat the mixed fajitas and they are delish!! I always have plenty to take home and eat the next day. Actually anything is good! They are super nice, service is great. read more

The good first: The prices are great. The salsa is decent and the burrito was good. The bad: I felt like the food was old. The lettuce, tomatoes and rice had that two days ago smell and taste. Chicken enchilada and tacos were sub-par. I prefer Taco Bell by far. read more

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant on the Fourth of July, we both got food poisoning from the food and our orders were incorrect. I would highly recommend that unless you want food poisoning not to go there we both got very ill from the food. read more

I didn't get my refried beans. Its only 5 mins away from my home so I called. The waitress answered and said she seen my meal and it was in there. I insisted it wasn't and she was really rude and insisted I was wrong. I work in the food industry, I would never treat a customer like that. I even gave a twenty on a $12 bill. read more

ALWAYS AMAZING! Food never lets me down. Always great service from bar and staff. Love coming here with friends!

The food was good, but not for what we paid for it. We spent near $40 for two people to eat a modest meal - I think we each had a pop. No beer or anything. Service wasn't great either the waiter came to our table maybe twice before the bill came. It was decent tex-mex I just wasn't impressed with much else. read more

Highly recommend this place. The food was delicious, the margaritas were perfect. The chips were so good and fresh. The carnitas were perfect. The service was prompt. We got our food within minutes of ordering. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back for some more! Perfect for a Cinco de mayo night out with family or friends! read more

Service has been awesome every time we go. Margaritas are great. The shrimp fajitas are amazing and the best part is they don't use mushrooms as one of the veggies they sizzle them with. The guac is good too, but I always add more lime juice, because I am silly like that. I am sure I always miss happy hour, but apparently this is the place to be for happy hour. My fiance really enjoys there tacos and my dad loves their burritos. read more

Pretty good and those margaritas are amazingly huge! The fajitas are served hot and tasty. Can't wait to go back again.

This restaurant is simply perfect for getting some great Mexican food at a price that won't leave you broke. Two people for $25 gives you a great meal. I have been here at least 30 times, and not a single time have I been disappointed. Service has always been good, great-tasting food that comes out quickly, and tons of different options for lunch or dinner. read more
