    Chili verde plate
    Mike W.

    Second time I've been here now. The 1st time i forgot to post. Sorry folks. Had the carne asada plate the first time and it was good. Nice char on the meat and good flavor. I would get that again. The steak mexicana was okay. The ranchero sauce was very thin, not thick like i am used to having. The asada was juicy in the ranchero sauce but I would pass on this dish, unless you like the sauce watery. Today, second time, I went with chili verde. The chili verde was good and tasty and it tasted and looked like I expected it to be. Delicious plate. Order that again! The staff has been friendly both times. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Both times I noticed when we ordered our food, it does take a noticeably long time to arrive. Not like an hour, but maybe 30 minutes. So u might end up chowing down lot of chips and salsa if you come hungry. The chips were served a little warm both times. The salsa has a good flavor to it. The salsa is kind of thin and not spicy, but i thought it was tasty. The menu is large with many choices. I look forward to coming back and trying some other items.

    Taco Salad with Chicken
    Ben C.

    The decorations to this place are really cool and different. The touches do make you feel welcome and such. The service is quiet but they sit you down and make sure you have everything you need. I wanted to try the taco salad with chicken. Simple meal. Chicken was watered down and they use very little cheese. Loads of iceberg lettuce. The taco shell was fried in some it tasty flavors. I would not recommend. Wife has the Chile verde with pork. The pork was very dry and chewy. The rice was a good flavor and airy. The food was just ok. I may try this again but not sure.

    Bland and dry chicken

    They have a wide selection of American style Mexican food. The chicken is very bland and dry. There is absolutely zero flavor to it. Rice and beans are good.

    Flan for dessert

    Fantastic Mexican food. Very clean restaurant, clean bathrooms and friendly staff. The menu was nice and simple with great options, and I chose one of my favorite burritos, the Chile Verde burrito. The pork was tender, fresh, with homemade verde salsa, the rice has great flavor and all around a great experience. It's great to find a local restaurant with quality Mexican options.

    Chicken Salad

    This was the worst Mexican food I have ever had. No flavor in the chicken whatsoever. I wanted to switch to a different dish Chicken Enchiladas, the waitress said it's the same chicken. They don't put seasonings in the chicken. WHAT?!? Ugh. Horrible. Service wasn't great either. My friend got the chicken salad, tasted like water, even with the salsa added to give it flavor. The waitress said "cheese gives it flavor" WHAT?!? So refund me my money and I'll go to Taco Bell....that's a little better than here.

    i forgot the name but it was something like super Nachos. 10/10

    Our quick fix of Mexican food as it is only two blocks from us. Love the shrimp dish they serve. They also have Negro Modelo beer.

    Loved the food here. Last time we went the hostess made insulting remarks to us. We turned around and left. Won't be back.

    This place was a pleasant surprise, being from Southern California I figured I would set the ball…read morelow since we grow up with out of this world Mexican food and it wouldn't be entirely fair to judge it the same way. But they nailed it on this Sunday! Would have thought I was back at home this place was delicious . The margaritas were beautifully crafted, the table side guacamole lady is hard to find and so refreshing, she nailed it, so good. Each dish was delicious, Sioux Falls is definitely lucky to have this quality Mexican restaurant. Well done Plaza Azteca.

By that point I was already seated and committed, but that's something I wish I'd checked beforehand. Because of that, I intentionally ordered something that would come out hot. Wasn't about to order a salad or anything that didn't need to be cooked. So I ordered the fajitas with chicken, steak, and shrimp. You know how fajitas are supposed to come out sizzling on a hot plate? These didn't. They weren't cold, but you could definitely tell everything had been sitting back there for an extended amount of time. They didn't taste fresh at all. And it gets worse. Every time I've ordered fajitas with cheese and bacon anywhere else, you get solid melted cheese and crispy bacon. Here? Runny cheese sauce and bacon that had zero crispiness to it. The whole thing was a mess. The meat portions? Ok the pieces were cut up small. I was picking through all the vegetables and onions trying to find actual pieces of chicken and steak. A lot of peppers and onions. The Verdict: Plaza Azteca was a miss. The margaritas were decent but the fajitas were a lukewarm, runny, disappointing mess with small pieces of meat. Combine that with odd service and some concerning health reviews, and this is a two star experience at best. Won't be going back.

    4.4* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4*…read more Service: 4* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $29 07/05/2026 We needed to make a stop at the Walmart in Sioux Falls while driving through, so looked for a restaurant nearby for dinner. We were both in the mood for Mexican, this was very close and the ratings looked good. The bar looked impressive as we walked in and after we were seated, we started with 24oz Margaritas (see picture) to accompany our free chips, salsa & white sauce (see picture). While the Margaritas were quite large, we both commented that they seemed a bit weak on the alcohol (or it is possible that they used Reposado tequila with less flavor). My wife decided to order the Combo #2 (pork tamale, ground beef enchilada & ground beef hard shell taco - see picture) while I went with the street tacos - Carnitas (pulled pork), Pollo (chicken) & Al Pastor (spit-roasted pork). We both enjoyed the Combo, with my favorite part being the pork tamale. I'm a big fan of corn tortilla street tacos and found them all to be very good - but my favorite was the Al Pastor. A quick Google search indicated that Al Pastor is a spit-roasted pork influenced by Lebanese shawarma - marinated and then cooked on a vertical rotisserie. This carmelizes the edges, resulting in a savory, tangy and slightly sweet flavor. Whatever the science...I found it delicious! If you found this review helpful, please Share, Follow & Like.
