    This by far the best plaza around town. I'm not sure what they do differently here but the quality of food is much better than another other plazas. They even use robots as bus boys (very entertaining for young children) the decor is very green and welcoming. I prefer coming here over most other medicina restaurants as this place has flavor and has higher quality menu items.

    Great fajitas and Margaritas! Wonderful outdoor dining and great service. Very accommodating and perfect ambiance. Recommend the restaurant and food.

    Burria Ramen
    Rita R.

    Man oh man! The Burria Ramen here is amazzzziinggg!!! I honestly could eat that every day! I went here for a friend's birthday celebration and they really impressed us! The food and drinks were phenomenal, customer service could have been a bit better, it wasnt at all that busy but the waiter still took a while to wait on us. We didn't take it too serious, since we were all excited to enjoy our own company but it was something i noticed. However please listen to me when I say this GET THE BURRIA RAMEN!

    Pros: Excellent service Nice decor The best $5 margarita I've ever had Yummy food Cons: price- over $50 for two meals and a margarita before tip. My husband and I have lived near a Plaza Azteca nearly all our lives and never been to one. We wanted Mexican and were planning to go our favorite neighborhood Los Ponchos, but I'd mentioned the PA I'd seen on the hill down by Dennys. He looked it up to the the menu and closing time and saw that there's one about 3 minutes from our house that we'd never even seen. It's behind the shopping strip on W Broad and you won't see it unless you drive back there. We decided to try and we are glad we did. Someone had a birthday while we were there and it was honestly fun. Everyone in the restaurant joined in clapping. Our server was funny and very good at customer service. The inside was nicely decorated for Christmas and there was lots of fake greenery that did make it feel homey and comfortable. A lot of places don't clean their decorations well, but Plaza Azteca was very clean. The food was great and we had a bit leftover to bring home. I rarely get a drink, alcoholic or otherwise, other that water because, frankly, I am too cheap. But they had a $5 margarita and I tried it. It was the best "cheap" margarita I've ever had, and it comes very close to beating an expensive top shelf marg I had years ago. I will absolutely order this every time I come. And we WILL be back soon. I got it frozen with a salted rim but you can get it regular too. We didn't order anything with a special request and everything came out perfectly. I think there was cilantro in mine despite it not stating that in the menu. I have a deep aversion to cilantro so there were a few bites that tasted soapy . I think it might have been in the pico. Worth asking if you also dislike it. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed it all very much and will be back; just less often than we'd like to because of the prices.

    My husband I came here for dinner on Cinco de Mayo and we got seated right away. There was some kind of party going on outside with a DJ so it was loud but good time. Our server was nice and attentive. I did the tacos de carne asada and my husband did the enchiladas chipotle. The food was delicious! Oh and our food was delivered to us by a robot which was different/cool.

    Love the guacamole. Fresh made at your table.

    I thought this location was actually quite good. I stopped by one day while I was in the area, and…read moreI was starving after a day of studying and reading. it was in the middle of the day, so the restaurant wasn't too packed. They did have a quite a handful of dine in customers, but it wasn't too loud or anything. It seemed like they actually had regulars. I asked to sit at the bar because it was just me, and they had no issues with it. Once I was seated and had looked at their extensive menu, I ordered a fountain drink and the carnitas. It was quite flavorful, and the portion exactly what I was expecting. It was perfect. The only thing I wish I remembered to ask was if they could give me corn tortillas rather than flour. It was all still quite delicious and absolutely filling. The restaurant was quiet enough for me to do a little bit of more reading for school. From what I could observe, they were also a clean restaurant. the waiter checked on me an appropriate amount of time to see if there's anything I needed. Service was pretty good for sure. They were also quite accommodating and polite. Overall, I would definitely recommend based on my experience with service and the quality of the food!

    Most Mexican restaurants serve food that's just okay. This was pretty good!…read more I work from home so I can get out and go to lunch with friends. My friend Kelly happened to be in my area and texted to see if I was free for lunch. Yes! It's my birthday week so it's a week of treating myself, so a catch up over a nice meal midweek with a good friend fit the bill. We picked Los Panchos because it was near where she was and an easy drive for me. I was out picking up a package so it was easy to divert to Los Panchos. I live nearby but haven't eaten there before. They have a huge menu and I ended up just picking lunch chicken fajitas with jalapeño added. It came with one side, so I picked beans. It also had lettuce, guacamole and pico, and we had salsa on the table. My friend got the vegetarian fajitas and it looked really good! We got to choose between corn or flour tortillas, so I picked corn. Everything was tasty. The food came out on a sizzling plate, which was nice. They cooked the jalapeño peppers into the dish, which was great and added extra flavor. The salsa was good, not spicy but flavorful. Our server was efficient and the right about of friendliness. I'll definitely go back.

The food was consistent but it wasn't a place I would go out of my way to go to. Recently, it popped back on my radar so after a workout at the Y, my husband and I decided to pass 3 Mexican restaurants to give it a try. I'm glad we did! Shrimp fajitas for me (I had requested double beans instead of rice, but still got the rice) and a shrimp dish for my husband. They brought chips and salsa...both good and we enjoyed a margarita. It was all pretty good...I'd definitely eat here again. The one thing they fall prey to is having a menu with a million items. I wish they'd skinny the menu down so I didn't feel the pressure to pick the same things because I get exhausted trying to look at a huge menu. But alas a lot of Mexican restaurants do the same thing. Next time I'll look at the menu online so I can actually read it all and make an informed vs a rushed decision.

First off, my waitress was so nice. she recommended I try the Green Chile Fried Chicken. Wow! If you like your chicken fried, this is different. It is fried using Lay's potato chip! It is so crunchy and delish! I had them put the chile on the side. Only complaint is that the chicken was half the size from the picture on their website. Felt a little cheated here. My guest had the King's Memorial combo. It was huge, but bursting with flavors and it came with a crispy taco on the side.

Loved the creamy jalapeño sauce, the salsa was refreshing and bright, and the queso was yellow with (likely) rotel mixed in, but definitely delicious. The chips are a little too thin and don't stand up as well against the thick queso and salsa. We really enjoyed the fajitas and the plethora of accompaniments. The beans are a little off but nothing alarming but the tortillas were super soft. They met our expectations for a white mexican establishment. The flautas were good, especially with all the sauces, but i would get something different next time.
