We came here on a Wednesday and got outside seating for 6 people. The service was very good. Waiter was very nice. For appetizers we ordered empanadas, taquitos, and guacamole dip. There chips and salsa were on point. Really loved the guacamole and the empanadas. I will just come back for the empanadas because they were that good. I got 3 chicken tacos. They were good but I like my taco tortilla to be flour tortillas. For drinks, I would recommend the lime margarita. Spicy margarita has just chillies floating in it which was not liked by one of us. read more

Great menu. Friendly staff. I got the carnitas dinner. Excellent. My friend got enchiladas. Thoroughly enjoyed. I usually rate Mexican restaurants by the chips and salsa and margaritas but didn't have margaritas. Chips and salsa were good. Will definitely go back though! read more

Again excellent service good service. The only place for great Mexican food on a consistent basis.

Our waitress was lovely. Came in during lunch and was quickly seated and order taken. Family friendly atmosphere. I got the enchiladas supreme and beef and cheese were definitely the most flavorful, the chicken and shredded beef to me seemed to be a bit bland. Husband got the carnitas and the pork was definitely tasty! Avocado sauce on it was excellent. read more

One of the most beautifully decorated restaurants. We really enjoyed the food. Service was a little lacking and disappointing to be honest. Restrooms were clean. Parking garage a block away. read more

I just moved into town and love this place. Living in the southwest for several years made me a Mexican food snob, this place will not let you down! Killer chimichangas! read more

Plaza Azteca - Chicken & Chorizo Entree - Bars Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Open patio seating limited to about 7 different sized tables. Really good service - server was very nice and attentive. I think they only have different margaritas and beers available right now. Big menu with many good options. Salsa was a little salty but the queso was really good. My burrito was huge and pretty good. They are using plastic cups and silverware right now which makes me feel better about eating out during the pandemic. First time eating at a restaurant in months and it felt good, somewhat normal, and safe. All staff wore masks and was very thorough in cleaning tables. read more

We haven't eaten here in a long time so we decided to give it another try. We were so pleased with our meals! I don't remember what we ordered (it's been a few weeks) but everything was cooked well and the portion sizes were very good. The server was very attentive and the restaurant itself was clean. We will return more often! read more

This place has been my family's go-to for Mexican food since they opened. It's very casual, with great food and even better service and atmosphere. The Tacos are very tasty, as are the margaritas. Caesar is the absolute best server around - ask for him! read more

I am super late putting this review.. but we visited Virginia last month for my cousin's 50th birthday and had a blast at this place. My cousins had taken over the left side where the bar is located. The Food... SOOOO GOOD! Their empanadas, taquitos, chips n salsa and guac, etc were delicious. Last but not least, I had to write a special message about Tania Gomez. She was so great to us! Very attentive and caretaking. I don't live there but if I did, she'd definitely be a reason I would come back. Hard to get service like that these days! read more

Pretty good little place for your standard Mexican food items. We ordered the large size of the cheese dip and it was MASSIVE.. definitely could have gone with the small and we love queso! I have steak fajitas and they were good too. Probably wouldn't recommend the house margarita as it tasted more like the standard premixed juice. The service was prompt and friendly. read more

Great food and service. Parking was easy and nearby. Good music and well lighted. I will go back here and recommend this to my family and friends. read more

The place used to have the worst food and laziest servers the last time I visited in 2018 but after giving it a second this year I'm so happy the new managers flipped this place around because now the food is actually delicious and everyone seems so friendly. Plus this is the first Plaza I've been to that serves a huge variety of drinks so that's even more of a reason it's a 10/10 read more

Plaza Azteca - Steak Quesadilla Ranchera - Bars Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Zero Rating Had such a terrible experience today at lunch. Was seated on the table at 2.32 pm and ordered 2 dishes. After 20 mins, asked the waiter on our order status, and he replied its on its way. After 30 minutes gave him another reminder, same response but no sign of food. After 45 minutes went to front desk and told the girl there that our order has not yet come in. She went to the kitchen, came back to us with the waiter who had conveniently not even put in our order. What audacity ...disgusting ...he says ,"what did you order" and we were like, what??? He said i forgot to put your order in...bad experience, will never go here..NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR!!! read more

Food was great I had the steak with chorizos and rice. My husband had the cheese and beans burritos. Vanessa great server we was there October 2, 2022 and we really enjoyed ourselves. My brother in law brought me Tequila Clase Azul in a beautiful liquor bottle blue and white. Look good on my bar. Tequila was great too. Really enjoyed this restaurant and the food. read more

This place is a pretty decent place. The staff are nice and the atmosphere isn't bad (although it feels a little weird that parts of it is almost like a sports bar and also a Mexican restaurant at the same time lol). The food is good. I would go here again. read more

Hmm. I'm torn writing this. I did takeout and got the fajita taco salad.. the problem is, it isn't much of a "salad". I was expecting some greens in here. It's just beans, a ton of steak, a tiny bit of shredded lettuce and sour cream. It tasted fine, it just wasn't a salad at at all... read more

Plaza Azteca - Bars Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

This is a solid, consistent place. Extensive menu of traditional favorites. I'm partial to the table side guacamole and the chimichanga dinner ( beef or chicken are both good ) drinks are decent. It's not the "OMG" kind of place that you'll remember but satisfying for sure read more

Their chips were hot & the salsa was really good! It had the right amount of thickness and heat to it. We ordered the guacamole and it was awesome - mixed with pico de Gallo, also with the right amount of salt - I kept eating it even after my fajitas lol. I'm still full this morning. Our waitress (I feel so bad I can't remember her name) was so attentive & brought us refills & more chips/salsa right away. We loved our meals, portions were plenty and then some. This will be definitely be our Leesburg spot for Mexican food! read more

Went in last night with my friend, her 4 year old, and me with my 8 year old. A very long 15 minutes roll by in the quiet restaurant, and a waitress drops chips and salsa off on our table and keeps walking. We tried to stop her, but off she goes. Then I make eye contact with the hostess who is laying over the podium in boredom to get a waitress. Another long time - about 5 minutes - our waitress returns with two kid cups of water and two large adult waters. I asked her, "are you our waitress? We would rather have had actual drinks like milk for the toddler, a Sprite, and Coke for her, club soda for me." She literally says, " I was told you wanted water." And she walks OFF! Another 8-10 minutes go by, and I go back near the bar to ask for a manager. A guy that I'd seen milling around comes over. I said, "Look, we are trying real hard here to be patient, but you aren't busy here at all, and we've had no service. We have younger kids that we need to feed after a long day, and you know what service looks like. And it's better than this?! Right?! Don't you agree?!" And he waves me off saying, "I think you can go somewhere else. I saw you complaining about getting water, so you need to go." So, we left. We took our littles around the corner to Wegman's, and I'll never be back. In Loudoun County, there are a ton of options when it comes to good food - and even more - Mexican food. I'm anticipating that this place will be closed in the next year. Pass it over. Save your time. It's super miss right now. Had to give it one star to hit POST REVIEW. read more

Food was ok except for the hair I found in my burrito. We had takeout so I couldn't really take it back.

Food is fine but they don't list drink prices and it's hard to find out. We ordered skinny margaritas and declined the upgrade from rail liquor. Tasted like very little liquor. Bill came In at $17.25 each. We had pricing issues with some of the menu items as well. Left feeling ripped off. read more

Awesome value, portions, quality, value... Fun night (karaoke, trivia, etc), happy hour can't be beat. Check them out!

March 29, 2018 visit. Little disappointed this time - burritos looked good, but were just not very fresh tasting - was just missing that freshly prepared and not much Mexican sausage taste this time - not very good overall. Had the San Jose burrito. read more

If I could give this zero stars I would. Food was terrible. Atmosphere was nice, but every word echoed - including the screams of children. I had my kids with me and had to make sure they spoke softly so we could avoid the dirty looks from patrons. Just about every item on the menu was smothered in "queso". The stuff tasted like a Kraft Mac & Cheese powdered sauce packet mixed with liquid. Disgusting. Worst queso I've ever had. I could have enjoyed the rest of my meal if that crap wasn't all over my plate. I had about 2 bites and gave up. 2 adult meals and 2 child meals uneaten, for $65. Negative. read more

I love this place. It's consistent and is easy to get a table. They do a great job keeping it clean. This chips and salsa are great. My favorite dish is the carne asada tacos. The lunch staff is fantastic. I go here 3-4 times per month. read more

Plaza Azteca - Some booths have TVs - Bars Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

I walk in at 8:30 pm Thursday June 6, and ordered a beer then DARED ordered..... TWO ENCHILADAS!!! WTF was I thinking ordering two beef Chipotle Enchiladas off their menu??! White girl at the bar was NOT going to take that order.... said I could have some chicken enchiladas but not two beef. Wt ACTUAL F?!?! I said no food then. Thanks. She snapped the menu from me like ok what EVER!!!!!!!! Shittiest Mexican Restaurant experience EVER. (For me, you may have had worse) but to hell with this place. Nothing Mexican about it. No dinner for me tonight. Too late and I have to finish this fucking beer I will reluctantly pay for. Thanks Plaza Azteca!!! Never again. read more

How in the world does this place only have a 3 star rating?! Stopped in for lunch today with family. Super friendly staff, outdoor seating, very careful with Covid restrictions. We had a side of very fresh guacamole and split chicken fajitas (I eat the veggies, hubby has the chicken). Our waitress was very kind and attentive. We will gladly be back! read more

I made a reservation online 3 weeks before the event date via Google reserve. I got a confirmation email and when I showed up at the restaurant I was told they didn't take reservations for that day. I had the email confirmations to prove otherwise. The manager didn't honor the reservation and said she would go see if she could do something to accommodate us. She never came back to let us know so we asked the hostess for an update. She said "the manager is busy, she can't help you". After we'd been there for 30 min she says we should put our name down on the wait list (maybe they should've done that when we first got there). We were told it was a 1-hour wait. Terrible service! Awful management. We've gone to Plaza Azteca before and the food was good enough. We won't be going back. read more

I've always loved their food and it was good this time too, but the atmosphere was awful tonight. They had live music and it was so loud we could not hold a conversation at the table and we weren't even on the side of the restaurant where they were. I'm not against the music - just not so loud during dinner hours to the point you can't talk at the table. read more

We got there and no one was at the hostess station. The place wasn't packed. Made eye contact with a waitress who quickly turned the other way. We waited though because we were hungry. Finally we get seated. Takes forever to come take our order or get our waters. Waitress gets my order wrong. I don't say anything because I don't want them to spit in my reorder lol. Another waitress totally spills water all over the place. Waits at least 10 min to clean it up... then grabs a broom. Lol. People are tip toeing all around it so they don't slip. Our waitress barely tends to our table. Such bad service that I dont even leave a tip. What just happened?! Lol if you check the rest of my reviews, you'll see that it's not hard to get 4-5 stars outta me. Now I do miss TexMex and this didn't really make me happy but the poor, poor service is really what got me!..... The guacamole was good though, so there's your one star. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Northern Virginia. I have been going here for over 4 years now. Tonight I had the El Combo which consisted of 2 chicken enchiladas and rice. Very good service and the price was respectable. read more

I ordered the nacho Supreme which comes with beef or chicken. I asked for chorizo instead and they gladly made the substitution. I picked up my order and was greeted the most lovely welcome and smiles. The nachos were perfection. They were built properly so you get a mouthful of everything without ingredients falling off or getting a totally naked totlrtilla chip. Speaking of chips, they are thick and substantial so they don't get soggy and wet. And just incase you can't eat the substantial portion inane sitting, they give tou a complementary bag of tortillas for leftovers. I was so pressed I am returning today for the same order! read more

Love love love this restaurant! They are so friendly from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. When finding difficulty to choose what to drink, the server mentioned the also served "agua fresca" involving pineapple flavor, horchata, and mango flavor! They were so good. The food was so fresh and you could tell how much thought they put into their ingredients. 13/10 recommend!!! read more

Plaza Azteca - Chicken quesadilla a la carte - Bars Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Can't figure out for the life of me why this place only has 3 stars. Dear friends who eat here all the time recommended this restaurant to us and we visited today for lunch with a party of four. Our Chicken Fajitas were great! The chips were fresh and delicious and the sauce was wonderful. But the service! Our waitress was magnificent! We had many specialized requests and she courteously and deftly responded to them all. We will go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended. read more

The food is OK, and the service usually is not OK. I've been there for happy hour a few times, and every time I arrive, it usually takes about 15-20 minutes for someone to come to the bar (even when there aren't any other customers in the establishment). The pre-made margaritas are not very good; they taste like sugary lime juice with water. The food is mediocre - every time I've gotten food there, I've received it while it was still cold. The only reason why I go back is the drink specials during the happy hour. read more

I gave this chain one more try with the same results. I'm a Foodie and lived in Texas for 5.5 years besides my travels to Mexico and Southern California I have had some exposure to good Mexican food. Especially on the Riverwalk in San Antonio and Cozumel. I ate at this location today and order a simple Taco Salad. The waitress was nice and greeted me with chips and salsa and asked for my drink order which was Sweet Tea and it was very good. The Salsa that came my chips, I would compare to cilantro ketchup. Very disappointing. My Taco Salad was so, so. I could have made better Taco Salad with an El Chico's Taco Kit from Wegmans. The shell was the best part of the taco salad. It had canned refried beans as a base with a fist full of ground beef, a sprinkling of tomato covered with lettuce. The winners today were my waitress, Ingrid, the Sweet Tea and taco salad shell. If you like Taco Bell you will like the food here. read more

Was it discrimination or sheer callousness? We wait for 30 mins to get to our table, get seated, and order the drinks and food. The drinks come in 15 minutes. We request the server to get our order quickly (as we had ordered only 2 entrees) and he said it is coming...We waited for another 20 minutes and then requested him again and he pointed to the kitchen saying the order would be there soon...another 15 minutes and we requested the lady at the reception to look into it. She never came back to us! We requested our server again and he pointed to the kitchen...All this time the folks who came much later were getting their food and that made us more hungry and in fact uncomfortable at the same time. My daughter was coming back after a 3-hour hectic skating practice and was falling asleep. Again reminded the server every 10 mins and then we were really feeling embarrassed. Finally, I went back to the reception lady and told her that we have been waiting for around 75 mins now and the food is not there. She went to the kitchen and came back with our server...Can you imagine what he said - can you give your order again - I forgot to place the order in the kitchen!!!!!!! Is this acceptable? After 6 reminders and 75 mins wait the server and the receptionist come back asking for what we have ordered??? This is the worst treatment and experience ever...The server was not even apologetic and walked away when we said that we would not eat there and grabbed our coats... read more

Plaza Azteca is A-OK. No big complaints and my family and I have gone back there multiple times. I grew up in San Diego, and my grandparents are from New Mexico, so I'm always looking for good Mexican food. The food here at Plaza Azteca is pretty good. Not great, but there's no real stand-out best-Mexican place that I've found yet in NOVA. So for the time being, Plaza Azteca will do. The atmosphere is like many stero-typical Tex-Mex style restaurants. The service isn't bad, but it lacks enthusiasm. The servers just don't seem happy to be there. Again, not rude, not bad, just not warm and friendly either. So like I wrote at the beginning of this review, Plaza Azteca is A-OK and my family and I will continue going back there to eat because the food is pretty good and makes an attempt at satisfying my urge for Mexican food. read more
