Great service and tortilla but I ordered the spinach and chicken quesadilla and it was dripping with grease.. ugh read more

Plaza Azteca Hampton - Spinach and chicken quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

I used to go to this place regularly before I started eating a little more healthier and staying within my food budget. And by no means am I a Mexican food expert or anything, but if you want some good food to eat at a reasonable price, I'd check out this place. Overall, the food is what's made me a fan. The chips and dip come out pretty promptly when you get seated and you get waited on in a good amount of time. Typically I get the same thing every time, the chori pollo. I did get the seafood enchilada a while back, but that just didn't agree with me so I stopped ordering it. One thing that is very surprising is how quickly my food would come out after I ordered. It was almost scary how fast they made that food. But nevertheless, the chicken was always juicy to me and the chorizo was cooked great. I always leave there full and happy. Great spot and I'd love to check it out again one my day I get to eat anything. lol! read more

The food here is just bland. That's not good for any kind of food and especially disappointing for Mexican food which usually has such great flavor. I am not even a huge spicy food-lover so you know if I think it's bland, it's bad. I thought maybe the first time I went it was just a bad day in the kitchen. Maybe they ran out of a critical spice. But I went back for lunch a few weeks later with coworkers and it was still extremely bland, and this was after I deliberately ordered something claiming to be spicy, which normally I would avoid. Service was fine and atmosphere is ok- although the acoustics are kind of loud in here. But that can't make up for tasteless food. I won't be coming back a third time unless my coworkers insist. read more

I had a hankering for some nachos. Although, I love me some Taco Bell, I decided to venture outside of my "taco bell" food group comfort zone and go back to the basics with some steak fajita nachos at Plaza Azteca. I called in an order for pick up since I was working in Hampton for the day........and off I went. I didn't have to wait too long...about 5 minutes when I walked in. I'm pretty prompt - I was there pretty much right when they opened. I know - I'm that annoying person standing at the door watching the keys turn as they barely unlock......hey business is business..... Never the less, the nachos were delicious. The chips were crispy and not overcooked. Not too much cheese. They totally satisfied my craving. The only thing I didn't understand is why I got a side of chips to go with my nachos. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm. read more

Enjoyed a great meal with my better half. The restaurants appearance and menu has been updated. I enjoyed the shrimp tacos and my entree. This place never disappoints. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Hampton roads. This atmosphere is nice with Ancient Aztec statues and designs all over the restaurant. The food is really good and has been very consistent. The serving portions are healthy so you won't leave hungry. The bar area is nice as well. It is separated from the restaurant by a half wall and has nice heavy chairs to sit in. Now when I say heavy I mean HEAVY. Like it surprises me every time go how heavy they are but its a good thing to know what your sitting on is well made and sturdy. The drinks are excellent. From the margaritas to the marga-ronas( margarita with a corona bottle in it ) the drinks taste good and have a nice amount of alcohol in them. The service has ALWAYS been great and the food is brought out in a timely manner. With inexpensive price tag I have to give this restaurant five stars. Te gusta esta restaurante de México! read more

Quick service, polite, helpful. Food is flavorful, HOT, and fresh. One of my go-to spots. Definitely one of the fastest places where you can get seared & food served. read more

OK - after having moved away from all the "Plaza" restarants in Hampton Roads...trust me folks - there is no better. I haven't found any good Mexican restaurants around here. I'm so sad. And totally jonesing for that white sauce. Do not take for granted what a great thing ya'll have there! read more

Probably as close to good Mexican food as you're going to get in VA. The food is all tasty, but also missing that special something that makes the difference between food that just LOOKS authentic and the stuff you get in the southwest that actually TASTES authentic. read more

Usually when I'm craving good Mexican food, Plaza is an ok place to go. Margaritas are great, chips and salsa are yummy and service is good. Tonight's visit was probably one of the worst meals I have ever eaten. My tostada looked like dog food on a tortilla. Flavorless meat and my enchilada was barely warm. Only good thing was my jumbo Mango Margarita. I wish Virginia would get a real authentic Mexican restaurant!! read more

Love this place, every time we go to the movies we head here for lunch. Lunch menu is priced well, dinner menu is decent too. Chips and salsa come out fast and fresh. Your entree also is served promptly and hot especially the fajitas. I'm not a Mexican expert but the food is good. Most entrees are served with rice or beans and a side of lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes. Recently, they have made a minor menu change but I will still keep returning. read more

This place has great food, and great atmosphere. The food was well priced and everything tasted great. There customer service though is trash, had this server who was super rude and seemed like she was looking for a fight for no reason whatsoever. Few minutes into eating and she already brought the check. This was funny to me because of how childish this was from a grown up. The establishment though has great food and budget friendly, they need better servers though lol. read more

The male bartender charged my friend & I $15 for a HOUSE sangria margarita and he was extremely rude because he had to work more than one area & run the bar by himself. Do not spend your money at this location. Go to the Yorktown location on George Washington Hwy. The bartenders are much more professional than this rude guy. read more

I was super impressed by this restruant! The food and the service was great! The food came out so quickly I honestly thought it was someone elses meal. Haha. Not only was the speed of the food getting brought out impressive the quality was great as well. Great restruant chain. One of my favorites. read more

Usually, Plaza is a solid 3 star kind of place - it's a step up from fast-food Mexican, but it's not terribly authentic or flavorful. That usually works for me because I prefer my food on the mild side. This location is better than some of the others around town - nice set up with fast and friendly service. It's also conveniently located near the AMC movie theatre and Chuck E Cheese - two places we visit a lot with the kiddo. On our most recent visit, I ordered some refried beans, fresh guacamole and cheese dip - then built my own little wraps with corn tortillas and some of the pieces of partner's steak fajitas. It was all tasty going down - but both of us were sick and hurting the rest of the day. Not sure what was up with that - perhaps the less than 5 minute time from order to the food making it to the table had something to do with it? I'm sure we'll try it again, but might be taking a pause until this most recent visit settles out on my stomach. read more

I went here on a date with my husband and we were both extremely impressed by the fast and friendly service! With great food and a cool atmosphere this is one of the best Mexican places to eat at in Hampton. Plaza Azteca is located near the AMC and is perfect for the dinner part of a dinner and a movie type date. Seriously, we had such a great experience here! read more

I love Plaza Azteca! Spent a good many years in Texas and this place has - without a doubt - the best chips and salsa going. They offer a wide variety of food and it is always fast, fresh, and good. I cannot, however, give *any* establishment 5 stars when they offer WiFi but it doesn't work or is flaky. In the case of Plaza Azteca, you can connect, but there is no Internet access. Don't waste your time trying to forget and remember the network, stop/ start wireless, manually try to get the captive portal to come up, etc. After a year and a half of coming here, let me tell you, it doesn't... frickin'... work! Booh! read more

Ate there tonight. One request, no sour cream. My burritos were covered in it. Scraped off what I could, ate 1/4 of one of them. Server didn't even ask why. Not going back! read more

Same company as my last review? Not sure, but different address and city in any case. As has been the case with every Mexican restaurant I have been to on the Virginia Peninsula, the food was served fast. Marco gave us prompt service and the order was correct. The Mayan-type interior decor, delivered partly in relief style, was refreshing as was the high ceiling. Some of the bar lighting, visible from where I sat, changed colors over and over and was a pleasure to watch. I like this place even more than the other Plaza Azteca reviewed here, and that is saying something. read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. I've never seen such complete disregard for people. We got seated and ordered drinks. I order water, which ended up being water and soda mixed. Which was fine, just order another. He also set it on on my menu while I was looking at it. Again, no big deal but still kind of annoying. He brought chips and set the bowl right in front of my 7 month old who of course grabbed the bowl and knocked them over. None of this bothered me that much. Until he brought out scalding hot queso and again set it right it front of my child. Who reaches out and grabs the bowl, in turn spilling it all over his tiny hands. I'm livid. I clean my crying son and leave. My husband follows with our stuff. I go back inside and ask to speak with a manager, who wasn't there today. I begin explaining the situation to the hostess and the server comes over. She begins saying something to him in Spanish. I go to leave until the server tried defending himself. He says "Well, he grabbed the chips too." To which I replied "Which should have been reason enough for you to think 'Hm, I shouldn't set something so hot in front of a baby'." He rolls his eyes. I tell him not to roll his eyes, because if he had gotten burned I would be suing him. I go to leave again, hearing the server say "Be more careful with your kid next time." And the hostess laughing. I cannot believe how unprofessional they were. I will be speaking with a manager. The server and hostess should be fired. They laughed us out of the restaurant and took no responsibility for what had happened. read more

Poor service totally empty at 3:45pm weekday. Entered restaurant and waited as we watched the greeter text on his cell. Although the place was empty, he tried to sit us at the first booth by the register. We declined and sat ourselves. After two minutes we just left. read more

You guys are the best Mr deigo is the best and all the folks at this location are awesome. They made my mom's birthday awesome. Thank you guys so very much . We will always be back here . read more

The bathrooms aren't the bestt they are worst then are schools and the food and drinks take foreverrrrr but besides that it was fine.

My family and I eat here often and until today we had no issues. However today's food and service was awful. We waited in line for 30 minutes + which is usually fine especially since it was cinco de Mayo and taco Tuesday. But our order was quite the opposite of what we wanted. For starters one person in my family got the wrong meat and asked for no sour cream and cheese but still got both of those. I ordered 2 cheese enchiladas with rice and beans and I got 1 enchilada with no rice or beans. Another persons meal didn't have the correct meat and it was cold. We usually have a very high expectation from this place but after today we are considering not eating there anymore. read more

I had lunch at this restaurant and it was very disappointing. Being Mexican and returning a whole plate of food must mean you need to step up your food game :/ I ordered the camarones al mojo de ajo (shrimp bathed in garlic sauce) which is really delicious when seasoned and cooked correctly. I was so excited to have Mexican food since I hadn't ate it in a while, I waited plenty since service was lacking only to be handed a plate with mushy rice topped with horribly seasoned shrimp. One bite was enough. I also tasted the burrito ......the meat was like tasteless rubber. I felt like the only reason people come here is for the decorations which are not even that great. It reminded me of Montezuma's revenge them park ride from knot's berry farm in California. This is not authentic Mexican food.... its a watered down American version just like their salsa..... it's not salsa if its watery, bland, and has no kick....just saying :/ read more

Still a solid 2.5 stars, this location's draw is the proximity to 1-64 and the friendly bar staff. BTW, the Ultimate Margarita is the only way to go, at the chain of restaurant. read more

I love this place. Authentic or not, the fajitas for two is one of our favorites. top it off with a couple of margaritas and guacamole made fresh at the table, you can't beat Plaza Azteca for Great Mexican Cuisine! read more

I love Plaza. I have not been disappointed at this location. The food comes out fast and it's delicious. The staff is on point. My whole family loves it. The mix fajitas are excellent as well as the carnitas and everything else...wish I had a bowl of queso!hahah read more

I visited yesterday for my friends birthday dinner. Service and food was horrible. I haven't been to this location in quite some time (about a year) and things have changed for the worse. I ordered a margarita (the cheapest one being 10 dollars) and it was super sweet and had little to no alcohol in it. I had it returned. My burrito San Jose was filled with mostly beans and practically nothing else. Also, the waitress could barely understand us and was rude. I wouldn't recommend this location! If i could give zero stars, I would. read more

Always great service and great food! I've dined in and been attentively taken care of and have done take out a number of times also and always received the right order ready in 10 minutes. I always get the Deluxe Burrito which is 2 burritos filled with beans, rice and your choice of meat topped with lettuce and pico de gallo and served with your choice of rice or beans and the Fajitas Burrito which has just meat and onions inside and is topped with sour cream and served with rice or beans as well. Their white sauce is amazing!! We always get a medium side of that to eat with the complimentary chips and salsa and I also put it on top of my burrito. read more

Horrible customer service, I ordered a large guacamole which I heard from many others was a enough for two people. It was the reason I stopped by. I was so excited. When I received the bowl it was barely anything in it.. Not enough for 1 person. Every one around me even people walking by said they had never seen it so skimpy. I asked the waiter to take it back and the manager came to my table and said that it was 2 avocados and if I didn't like it he wasn't giving me anymore. So I declined. Not planning to return to Hampton Location any time soon. read more

Serving an American bastardization of Mexican food, you'll be starting off with some stale chips and two kinds of dipping sauce. One that tastes like mayonnaise with a hint of anti-freeze, and the other tastes like vine ripened tomatoes and feet. Drinks are served in 55 gallon drums of 99% ice. For the main course, you have a choice of 12 different names for a burrito. Dessert is a delicious assortment of 10 year old vending machine candy. ENJOY! read more

I like this location much more than Newport News location. I went for lunch and the staff is more attentive and the restaurant is maintained much better. The food is only slightly better. I got fajitas and they were alright. The plate of stuff to put on the fajitas was one of those plates that look deep but are shallow. read more

The food is much better than it used to be but the service is still awful. Large lunch margarita, which is a regular at three other local places, was $10.75...plus $1.00 for raspberry. Asked for cheese sauce with chips...they brought it after food came. Asked for sauce on the side, food came with sauces all on top. They remade it and food came after everyone else was done. Never brought the guacamole salad, did bring the dip which was $5.50 plus $8.50 lunch...ONE lunch out $30 - for bad service, the wrong food, some food missing...never again. read more

This is by far my favorite Mexi-America chain restaurant in the area. Their table side guac is respectable and the food is good and delivered amazingly fast. Great environment at the restaurant to socialize. read more

Salsa was basically tomato sauce with cilantro. Tortillas for fajitas were ice cold. 4 shrimp in our texas fsjitas. Fajita plate came out barely smoking. The only positive thing I can say about this place is the decoration inside is awesome. This is out first and last time here read more

I love it here! I try to come every time I come home to VA to visit since now that I live in Baltimore. I've only found one Mexican restaurant in the Baltimore area (mi pueblo) that I like, but nothing compares to Plaza Azteca IMO! read more

5/4/2019: My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal tonight at Plaza Azteca in Hampton. The only reason why I'm not giving it a 5 Star rating is because the rice was bland...this is not typical however. Every time we've dined here in the past the sides such as the rice and refried beans have always been on point. My main course was incredible as always. I'm a creature of habit so I always get the chori pollo. Delicious grilled chicken breast topped with an awesome chorizo and queso. My wife enjoyed the burrito al pastor and she said it was delish. Now if I was rating this restaurant based only on customer service, I would rate it at a 10! Our server Renee was awesome! She was friendly, engaging, helpful, and tended to our every need while wearing a very infectious smile the whole time. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some awesome Mexican food.... read more

I find El Azteca better. Food is decent, Fajitas was over cooked and dry. The queso fundido is awesome
