The wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this food experience. We haven't had good Hispanic food is a long time having been in Maine and this place didn't disappoint. Right off the bat it was a nice establishment, looked to be new or very well kept at least. Friendly and inviting staff who were military friendly so that's always a plus. The food was good man everything was hot and fresh the mole was bomb and the salsa was heat in a great way. I'd for sure come back and I highly recommend it here read more

Ok, this is the best of all the mexican restaurants in my area by far! I know it's a chain but it's a great recipe (pun intended) for a well run business. First of all the food is great, comes out fast, almost to fast and hot. Service was attentive but not overly helpfully? Nice decor compared to other restaurants of the same type and even the waiters were wearing ties. Portion sizes were generous and the prices were very reasonable. Had the margarita with a small corona beer stuck in it, first time for me but I have to say I liked it! Will for sure be returning. read more

Having had mediocre experiences with Plaza Azteca at other locations I was somewhat skeptical about this location. Well, I'd have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The wait staff was very attentive and the food was quite good... I have a personal bias when it comes to mexican food... and it is that, well let's just say when is the last time you've heard of a 5 star mexican joint... I mean I crave it like the next guy, but it pretty much tastes the same wherever you go... So anyways when I go to a mexican place that has a menu more sophisticated than #2A - Bean Burrito, I try to get something unique. Such was the case tonight. I ordered the Molcajete Azteca - Pretty much the most expensive dish on the menu and enough for 3 people, but Very tasty and a rare combination of flavors, including honey, and pineapple. an unusual dish, and unusual presentation and at least a 2-lunch leftover. Yum. I will find myself craving that again soon. read more

Fast and very friendly!! Come here often for lunch. They have various lunch specials which are located on the board as your entering the restaurant. Chips and salsa are always fresh. Wish the salsa was a little spicer tho. You really can't go wrong with Plaza anytime of day they are always on point!! read more

Went for lunch on the weekend, Armando was our server and he was awesome!! We order forms the lunch menu. Their chilaquiles were delicious. Their fajita were great for the price. Enchiladas suizas were soso!!! Salsa was perfec! Over all, we were pretty happy read more

Solid "Mexican" food. Don't go here if you grew up in SoCal and only like "authentic" Mexican food. You'll be disappointed, and none one wants to read about how much "better" your favorite place in SoCal is. Go here if you want reasonably priced, consistent, and relatively fast Tex-Mex (along with a few more authentic dishes). Be sure to ask for the white sauce; they stopped putting it at every table, though they'll bring you some if you ask for it. read more

Well, that was disappointing. I understand that it's a family restaurant, but I've always found children screaming while I'm attempting to eat to be quite frustrating. And how is it that one kid squalling always seems to set off the others? I understand that sometimes the staff might be reluctant to say something, but when the people near us proceeded to change a baby diaper in the booth, I'd have thought they'd have at least directed them to the restrooms. Not so. We've enjoyed our food here in the past, but last night's meal was also a miss. I ordered the steak fajita salad. It consisted of a place of (watery) lettuce, four slices of cucumber, a bit of chopped tomato, and very overdone fajita meat on top. It appeared unappetizing, and didn't taste any better. The menu states that it also has cheese & pico de gallo, but it wasn't apparent in mine. The waiter insisted that what I had was correct, so I gave up, but upon looking at the menu online, I see that the salad was indeed not made properly. I've had better experiences here in the past, but with the other options available in the area, meh. I'll pass next time. read more

To me, the food here is just ok - nothing to write home about. But the reason I'm giving the 4 stars is for the fresh guacamole we had. They make it fresh from a cart in front of you. This is how good it is.....my cousin hates onions, I mean hates them with a passion. The Guacamole had onions in it - she ate half of the guacamole by herself - that's how good it is. If you try anything here, definitely try the guacamole read more

So we are trying to support our local business's during these crazy times. Have ordered from Plaza Azteca three times. There have been significant errors in the order every time. Chimichangas soft rather than hard, beef rather than chicken and clearly old grease used that should have been changed out maybe last month?? Once is a mistake twice; times are hard three times I will not be your fool anymore. there are too many other Mexican restaurants who could benefit from our support. Asti la vista Baby. read more

I've been going to the Grafton location for years and always had good food. The last two times I've had food that tasted like leftovers. Last night we ordered take out. They served me rancid pork. I contacted them and let them know the pork was bad. No response. I'll never go again. read more

Moving more upscale and toward authenticity with Cochina Pibil enchiladas, other closer-to-traditional Mexican fare. Service has always been fine, food well turned out. Dark wood decor, many booths, some new artistic candle arrangement on back wall. We like it and eat there often. Parking is a mite scarce at times. read more

Plaza Azteca - Storefront. - Mexican Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

One of our monthly stops. A variety of Mexican cuisine staples done better than you can. (Unless of course you have some sort of Tijuana Culinary Institute training). Inexpensive place where you won't spend more than 15$ a plate. I get to-go orders all the time here, not because the service isn't good, it's actually pretty solid. But because I get this all the time, i'd rather go home to my shows. Anyways it's pretty hard to mess up Mexican cuisine. It's all the same ingredients, just in a different serving vessel. Burrito, enchilada, quesadilla, and of course the taco. It's all the same thing just wrapped in a variety of tortillas and sizes. Still they do a solid job of it. And that's what brings me back. Solid service, solid food, and of course the margaronas. Margarita with a Coronita sticking out of the top. Solid. Only rated it 4 stars because they aren't a 5 star restaurant you will find in big cities. Simply put its a chain that is supposed to be a 3 star restaurant that surpasses that level and deserves the rating of....Quattro. read more

Although we enjoyed the food quite a bit, it seems as though the service was something left to be desired. The food was hot and fresh and came to us rather quickly but out server paid little attention to us. We will come back but maybe try a different server. read more

I came here with a friend on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly at a great table that allowed us to park our double stroller next to it, as requested. Food and drinks were served in a timely manner. I had the chimichanga dinner and liked it. My friend had the fajitas which should have been sizzling hot and the tortillas in one of those warmers with a lid, instead of being wrapped in tin foil. One downer: I looked this restaurant up in Yelp and saw that they wouldnt take reservations. I called them anyway and were actually able to make one. However, when I showed up I was informed that they did not take reservations Who answered the phone then?? Even a backwards phone number search on Google revealed that the Yelp phone number was indeed this place's. We still got a great table right away to fit our needs, so I wont hold it against them. Still weird though. read more

If I could give them no stars I would. This place is too ridiculous. They have every burrito in the world but you cannot get just a no meat burrito without choosing from their vegetarian menu when everything is smothered in cheese sauce...all I wanted was a rice, bean, cheese, lettuce, pico burrito with guacamole and sour cream on the side OR inside of it. Instead of on top, making it all soggy. (Because it's not in the menu.) You cannot swap things out either. I eat this way for health reasons, not because I'm picky....and they didn't seem to care. They don't carry horchata so I don't know how they can call themselves authentic anyways. The salsa is just plain and tomatoey. This place sucks and so does the service. read more

I was told this place had bland food, but I had to try for myself. I ordered the Carne Asada. It needed help. The refried beans tasted like they came out of a can. The chips and salsa both needed salt. Our waiter was very nice but it's not enough to bring me back. If you're looking for good Mexican restaurant food, I suggest going elsewhere. read more

Plaza Azteca is the king of Mexican restaurants. The servers at this location are great. This is a favorite spot for my son and I. We always leave happy, and very full. Each time I go I find something new I want to try, and each time I am happy with what I receive. The prices are very good. You almost always get your money's worth at Mexican restaurants and this one is no exception. The portions are well more than the average person should eat in one setting so many times I end up with 2 meals for my money, especially when you have an endless supply of tasty fresh tortilla chips and Mexican white sauce, or salsa. The detail put into the décor is really well done. Real wood tables and chairs with the restaurant name engraved into them and decorations to match the theme make for an authentic south of the border experience That being said she did make sure that were had everything we needed. She checked on us frequently and was quick with drink refills so this complaint is really just a nit-picky one. All in all this place is well worth the money. read more

I have to say the food here was a surprise! I am from the west coast and this Mexican food tasted fresh with lots of flavor! You must try the spinach chicken enchiladas! The margaritas are strong and tasty! Our server was friendly and very attentive . We ordered the guacamole and they brought out a cart and prepared it right in front of the table! I will be back the next time I'm in town! read more

Ok if you are not looking for authentic Mexican. The food lacks flavor, the refried beans lacked actual beans and was more like baby food. Guac is extra, had to get for sour cream, no lettuce for my fajitas. My boyfriend commented that his was only a step above Taco Bell. Was very unimpressed with everything including the waitress who was very uninterested in us. Won't be coming back. read more

Food is truly terrible. Quesadilla tortillas were not cooked at all, so they completely fell apart. Chicken was dry, flavorless, and barely shredded. Burritos had American cheese in them. Would seriously recommend ordering elsewhere. read more

The food here comes from the freezer and is microwaved. I ordered the chilies rellenos, which are supposed to be crispy fried stuffed poblano peppers. When the food arrived it was a plate of mush. I am not a picky eater and have never sent food back in my life, but I could not eat it. When we asked the waiter if it was supposed to be crispy he said "yes but these were frozen". Ordered something else that was mediocre, neither myself or my partner had a good experience here. read more

Not bad, just not all that good. Remember Chi Chi's? If you liked it you will like this place. Margaritas taste like they came out of a bottle. Food was hot and reasonably flavorful but way too much cheese on everything. Maybe I'm just spoiled by my local place but it does not feel very authentic. On the positive side we were seated quickly, waited on right away and the food came quickly. Our server was friendly and efficient even if communications were a little challenging. read more

I joined a large group from work for lunch here. I thought the food was fine, probably the best Mexican I know of in this area. The prices were OK and the servers were nice. But service was slow with no real explanation. Maybe shorthanded? I really enjoyed the guac, and I'll probably give it another try. 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

Came here after touring at Yorktown for lunch - we ordered 4 fajita lunch specials and they were great! 2 of us had chicken and 2 of us had steak - steak was tender and a good cut of meat (no toughness!). After walking miles around Yorktown, I certainly appreciated the large sodas that were refilled with our meal. Loved the service, menu was enormous, a great find! read more

This place reminded me of the chain restaurant "On the Border" from NJ. The food was okay. Don't come in you want authentic mexican food, although the majority of the workers were actually Mexican. The food is more like a Tex-Mex fusion. I came here for a lunch with some co workers. It was ok. That was it. Although the place was empty, I still had to wait after I received my food to get a refill on my drink. One of my co-workers did like coming here, however, she suggested not to pay with credit card in this establishment. I'm not sure why, but there must've been a negative story surrounding that. The margaritas however were very flavorful and tasty. There was no WOW-ness about this place at all. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

It's more Tex-Mex than Mexican, but not too shabby. My friend, Angelica likes what my people do here. I like their chile rellenos. I will ask for no sauce on top next time. I feel like I am back in Fort Worth when I eat at the one in Yorktown. 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

Food was good, service could have been better, she never introduced herself. We spilled our chips on the table and she didn't even offer to bring us a new bag of chips, she just sat there and laughed at us. read more

Lunch was just good. Service was nice, if a bit flirtatious. Food was on par for my expectations. Speed of food service was extremely fast. Love the salsa, rice, and fresh ingredients. Price was good for serving sizes. So why 3 stars? We didn't get a single piece of silverware that matched, and one fork still had food on it which was gross. Sweet tea wasn't super sweet like I wanted. Kid's drink was served in a regular adult sized glass. My 8 year old was too short to reach the straw without tipping the cup. Also, the chicken quesadila should have had more cheese, it did have tons of chicken which was nice. read more

Food was horrible they add milk to the cheese so the enchiladas are runny. Our food came out quickly but it was cold. Services was poor.. will not be returning.. read more

Stopped for lunch one day and had the fajitas. Food was very good and service was fast. Best Mexican I've had in Yorktown so far.

Not the best Mexican food. Server wasn't really rude but he definitely acted not happy. Table side Guacamole was not the best and it cost $7.99 where in other places don't charge. read more

Plaza I'm disappointed in you. I sat at the bar for ten minutes with out even a greeting while your bar tender sat off to the side joking with a group of people. You should really be more attentive to those who are paying for your services. read more

Great food and awesome prices, I always love coming here when I'm in the mood for Mexican food

Service was okay took way too long to get our food. When I finally got my fajitas they were burnt and the waiter did not care when i told him. read more

Always a pleasant experience! The food is top notch. Don't miss the Guacamole made fresh table-side and the Burrito San Jose. I've heard the one on Jefferson is not as good. read more

Got the chicken fajita salad and it came with packets of ranch dressing. Why would a dine in establishment serve packets of dressing? It really ruined the salad. Husband enjoyed his enchiladas. read more

I love this place! I understand that it's Tex-Mex, but it's really good. I've been many times, usually with friends. Food has always been enjoyable and filling. Table side guacamole is a meal in itself! Great place for parties and other social gatherings. Staff has always been wonderful and the margaritas are to die for! Great family place and altho there are often kids everywhere, it doesn't sound loud. read more
