    Tableside guacamole
    Lorean W.

    Firstly, it's worth noting that I'm a Californian with hella bomb Mexican food in all literal directions from my house. I take my Mexican food incredibly seriously... ...and the food at Plaza Azteca ain't it. Some things are fine (the salsa, the queso fundido), some things are bland (the Mexican rice and the gosh darn guacamole they make tableside which is almost a crime), and some things (like the platanos) were weirdly too sweet--I know there's supposed to be a sweetness to them but these ones tasted straight up like someone got bananas and plantains mixed up. The service was so good though! Everyone took amazing care of us! The drinks were strong and large and the pricing was right. I didn't get to see too much of the restaurant as we were whisked to the back, but other than being a bit cooler than necessary, the restaurant was tidy and well kept. Unlikely for me to return as I don't live in Missoula, but I'd give them another shot and try some different menu items if my family wanted to return!

    Food was good until we noticed they had cock roaches on the wall unfortunately so unless u want a extra piece of protein I don't recommend eating here

    First time here as I was visiting my son. We got seated fairly quickly. The restaurant was pretty busy. The service was on point. The food came out within reason we did not have to be waiting for a long time. The guacamole was so delicious and fresh. All the meals were very tasty and flavorful. Great atmosphere and good vibes.

    The table side Guac is the very best I have ever had! I've experienced table side guac in Mexico and this has that beat. Hands down, no contest. I would go back just for this! I also had their grilled fish tacos and they were chef's kiss! I can't wait to go back! The food was delivered quick and the staff was very attentive.

    Decent value but food is hit or miss for me. Most recent visit was good (both in food and in service) but previously have had awful food from takeout (hair in my food...). Very quick service, it seemed like we waited less than 10 minutes to be sat even with 8-10 parties ahead of us.

    Taco and burrito combo
    Jen B.

    Food here has decent flavor. Salsa is good. Fresh ingredients. I ordered the taco and burrito combo and was disappointed that the food portion was surprisingly small, so I'm leaving still feeling hungry. Also I asked for chicken and was given a beef taco. Good service. We sat outside and the flies are bad.

    Seafood chimichangas
    Kate W.

    Came here as a guest for a family gathering. Two in our party had arrived before us and ordered guacamole, which they do in front of you! Firstly, I enjoy the freshness of guacamole made right in front of me and that was the beginning. The menu is quite extensive, even as a pescatarian. I decided to order the seafood chimichangas (one is crab, other is lobster) and my girlfriend ordered the Oaxaca bowl with shrimp. Both were amazing, and out of the two chimichangas I preferred the lobster one. I split my food with my girlfriend and her bowl was amazing! We also ordered drinks, a pomegranate cosmo for me and a huckleberry margarita for her, but honestly, the margaritas are large enough to split. Both were great. Our service was amazing too, our waitress (I didn't catch her name) was articulate with all of our requests, impressive as we were a party of 6) and was present with us everytime we ordered. The music is low but creates an immersive atmosphere, along with the brown themed furniture. I also must say, as a lover of El Castillo, I'm happy to see it used as the logo on their menu. Overall, a great experience and I hope to return before heading home.

    White cheese dip.....so good
    Rhonda P.

    The table side guacamole is really great. You can customize it to your taste. They have white cheese dip, so very yummy. Service was good, attentive but not annoying. Best Mexican we have found in Montana.

    We ate here for the first time about two weeks ago. I was hoping to really like this place but wasn't too impressed. Upon walking in, we were greeted by a server and were immediately sat at our table. Our waiter, Crue arrived within a minute and asked us if we'd like any drinks. He was great, attentive, and very friendly. We were brought chips, salsa, and a creamy cheese sauce that neither of us liked. We quickly decided on what we wanted and ordered from the lunch menu since it was around 11:30am. Our food arrived pretty quickly, but despite that, it was luke warm and the plates were cold. I'm not sure what was going on there. I ordered two chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas were just dry chicken inside that was nowhere near hot in temperature. The tortillas were also dry and it seemed like all they did was just wrap shredded chicken in a tortilla and pour sauce over it. I feel bad saying this but they were the worst enchiladas I have ever had from a Mexican restaurant. The beans were subpar, and the fact that they were barely warm was a turnoff. I should add that many of the items on the lunch menu come with either rice or beans, not both. If you want both, you have to pay an additional $4 extra for the extra side. My husband also wasn't crazy about what he got, which was the fajita burrito. We may give them another try and try their dinner menu and see if we have a better experience. I feel like for the time of day we went, the food should have been hot at least. There is someone who comes around with a cart and asks if you want guacamole, made right there qt your table. That's a nice touch but hopefully they do better on the temperature of the food when it arrives to the table. The restaurant itself has a more modern look to it, and doesn't have that traditional Mexican restaurant look to it. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I actually like how they've decorated the inside since opening the restaurant. We will most likely give them another chance and if we do, I will update my review.

    "Fried" ice cream

    This is our 3rd Friday in a row going here. Our first experience wasn't amazing but wasn't terrible and we went at a bad time on a Tuesday. Every experience since then has been great, but today was stellar. Despite a packed house, we got extremely attentive and fast service from our server Bodi. You can look through my reviews, I never mention servers by name and don't think I could even tell you the name of any server I've ever had. Bodi was spectacular. The rib eye tacos, chimichangas, and birria tacos are all exceptional. The pickled red onions on the rib eye tacos are my favorite touch. Such a nice way to add acidity. Found our new regular date spot here.

    My friend waiting 15 minutes for water as the staff stood around chatting.

    We usually enjoy the food and service. Great cocktails and atmosphere. Last night was A TERRIBLE experience. The service was horrendous. Our server, Uriel, was not only neglectful, but also straight up rude and condescending. If we return, we will ask for a different server or we will leave.

    Margs!

    Amazing margaritas. Staff is so friendly. Food is delicious but can be rlly busy Thursday-Saturday. Ask for the Mexican ranch ;))

    Good standard Mexican food. Fajitas and chimis were good. Ambiance was very Tommy Bahama but nice. Staff was very helpful.
