Much improved and great food, but still seems to be extremely understaffed. Can't blame the wonderful servers for having to wait on too many tables. Worth a visit, certainly. read more

Inedible in my opinion. Dirty too. Place needs repairs. We had to ask for cutlery. Received dirty plates for nachos. Cannot say one good thing. read more

We had an amazing experience. Our server was friendly and helpful. She checked on our desired spice level to make sure we were good. I appreciated that a lot cuz I am a wuss with spice! Great quality of food and super tasty. read more

We went mid afternoon. Not crowded at all. Loved the queso dip and enjoyed many of the appetizers. The server was very friendly and attentive. We ordered so many appetizers we had a lot of leftovers. She was so nice and packaged everything up so nicely! We will definitely be back! read more

My review today is for the Lunch Buffet which my daughter and I enjoyed. (My grandchildren ordered their favorites off the menu.) Familiar with the food via takeout, we wanted to check out the lunch buffet which is offered from 11:30-3:00. Turns out, it was better than expected. We often like buffets when available because we can sample/enjoy a variety of dishes by trying a small amount. Go back if more is wanted. We were pleased with the selections available including Chimichangas, Beef Tortillas, chicken or beef with peppers and onions etc. When the bill came, I was surprised to see that the cost of the buffet is only $10.99. It is a good value for the food served which included lots of chicken and tender beef. There were also rice and beans on the buffet as expected. The buffet included a great VARIETY of typical Mexican toppings to customize your taco or tortilla or BOWL. Taco bowls were available on the buffet to make your own. I ordered flour tortillas for myself which only cost $1.50. The only dish we did not like was the Pork with Green Chile. I thought the Chile sauce tasted bitter and the pork was a little fatty. We ordered the guacamole app because we think it is delicious! It never disappoints. Salsa and warm chips were delivered to the table when we sat down. We sat at a large table in the center dining area near the patio. We had our choice of where to sit. A door to the patio was open and a wonderful breeze made our lunch even more pleasant. Service was outstanding -- attentive, efficient, and friendly. I left a 25% tip. There is ample parking plus several handicapped parking spaces near the entrance. We each enjoyed our lunches. We will return for lunch as well as continue to order take out. read more

I will start off by saying the service was good and comfortable booths . Complimentary chips and salsa are served and I have to say I would not have wanted to pay for that mess. The salsa ... it literally looks like bolognese sauce ! No fresh ingredients and the chips are definitely bagged and semi stale , the server accidentally came to our table with Elotes but it was for the customers in another booth but I was like ohhhh I want one. Huge mistake . The corn had hardly any mayo sauce on it and it tasted weird, almost burnt . I ordered tacos birria and they were at least edible . The birria was very good . Hubby had the chimichanga deluxe (steak) I sampled a piece and it was just pure blandness . read more

Very good food consistently. Our go to place for Mexican food, and we've been to Mexican restaurants around the country and in the Yucatan. I really don't understand some of the bad reviews, don't understand the tastes of several reviewers. The most bland, below par Mexican food I've had was in San Antonio. read more

For consistently good food and customer service I highly recommend this restaurant. Sabor Azteca is our go to anytime we are craving Mexican food. Last night my husband and I had a delightful meal with a sweet and very attentive server. It's definitely a great place to go for dinner if you are trying to beat the upstate winter blues. As soon as you enter you are welcomed by the friendly staff with music and a jovial atmosphere. Their complimentary chips and salsa are served almost immediately and so good. If you like spicy food I highly recommend their house made hot sauce. Enjoy!!! read more

Man this restaurant is delicious. From their drinks to their genuine Mexican food. The shrimp burrito is so good. The cheese sauce that they top the burritos with is so good. I guarantee you guys will love this place. Ask for Alexa, she was a stand out waitress. Refilling drinks and super attentive. This location was formally Ruby Tuesday, you can still see the same seating locations. They decorated it with their Mexican flair. This is a restaurant I will be frequenting quite often. read more

Let's start with the salsa was flavorless and if there was a hint of a flavor it was very bitter. Next we asked for hot sauce and then was brought two bowls of salsa that would were so spicy it almost ruined our tongues for the rest of dinner which might have been better. My daughter ordered kids quesadillas and it seemed like there were pieces of pineapple in it with the tomatoes. Yet there were hardly any pineapple pieces in my Pina Loco or whatever it was called that is supposed to have pineapples in it and even comes in a pineapple. Will avoid this place in the future. read more

I literally cannot fathom how this place has 4 stars?? I decided to eat here on a Saturday night, it was dead. There might have been one other table occupied in the whole place. When we walked in they looked genuinely excited to have some customers for the evening. I should have known right there lol! Our server was very nice! I'm sure he was thankful to have our tip money at the end of a very boring shift. The food was awful, and I do very much mean AWFUL! Our plates were mostly left untouched and we were really hungry when we walked in. Our service was genuinely confused when we declined boxes to take our leftovers home. And just for some fun background, I come from an Italian family where wasting food is considered an egregious sin! Literally never again! I wish I could have this time back! I would also never ask anyone else to subject themselves to Mexican torture lol. read more

Easily accessible for seniors, no stairs to circumvent . Our family usually orders the steak fajitas (which are large enough to share) !! We also order the special guacamole in its pilon which my grandson absolutely loves. The carne asada dinner and chicken in the pineapple are a must try. Wait staff are so polite and conscientious. Restaurant clean and very well lighted for dinner patrons. read more

An amazing place to eat. Came here for the first time and I will 100% be back. The food was flavorful and filling. The decor fills the space but is not overwhelming. The staff is friendly and responsive. 11/10 experience, looking forward to my next visit. Evan was our server and went above and beyond. read more

Clean and quick. Typical upstate ny Mexican restaurant. Decent margarita. Lots of choices. I'll be back.

Food is pretty good but the last visit left me a bit underwhelmed. It's your typical Mexican restaurant in upstate NY but with a larger, more interesting menu. Normally the execution is very good but the dish I ordered today was a bit lacking, the Bistec A La Mexicana. Beef was tough, no cilantro to speak of, and not much Serrano peppers, perhaps not even Serrano peppers? Not until I was half way done with my meal did I realized tortilla wasn't brought to me. Not a big deal but annoying. Service was reasonably attentive. Refilled waters. Also, be aware that they charge extra if you do not pay with cash. They do let you know that on the bill though so it isn't a surprise. I don't carry much cash normally so I charged it anyway as it's more convenient for me. I do remember having a better meal in the past, I think that was the Carne Asada. Will have to get that again. read more

Sabor Azteca - Bistec a la Mexicana. I started eating then remembered to take a photo - Mexican Near Me - Clifton Park, New York

A rare treat. In more than a decade, and even more so the past few years, it's been difficult to meet a team who, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, treated our whole group not just as patrons, but as welcomed friends. I've experienced excellent service and I've seen extraordinary service; what we had tonight rose above both: effortlessly attentive and genuinely personal for every single person at the table. They really took care of us. The food matches the hospitality, delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We feel like we found a diamond in the rough here. We'll be back. read more

We love this place! Everything we have ordered has been top notch and it is very enjoyable to have a conversation and also not be crowded. The tables are spaced out and there are the cutest booths for two. Favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! read more

Went here for dinner last night. My husband had beef tacos and I had the crab plate (crab taco/burrito/enchilada/rice and beans covered in queso). I wish every Mexican restaurant would offer this plate, it was delish. The only issue is that it needed a bit more spice but that's partially my fault for not asking for Tapatio. The service was quick and friendly and the restaurant is cute and clean. Great place! read more

We went for lunch at about 2 pm. I had the buffet, cheap at 10.99. The two main entrees were gone, chicken poblano and pork in salsa verde. The enchiladas were good, as were the fajidas, The beans were crusted over and the queso sauce was as well, very unappatizing. What there was there was good though. My wife had ceviche which was very good. There were 4 people there. If you have a buffet, stock it and take care of it., especially since you are not busy, and are sitting around. Our waiter was good, I like El Charro much better, always authentic. The music was awful as well a Ricky Martin cover tape playing over and over. If you go, go early for a fresher buffet, or go to another Mexican restaurant in Clifton Park. For authentic Mexican go to El Charro in Colonie. read more

Seen this restaurant get some crummy reviews and I am not sure why. We went here recently and everything was delicious and the service was fast, so I'm not really sure if the other reviews were just because they were when the restaurant had just opened and they were working things out or if they just happen to be one off experiences. I cannot complain. Check them out! read more

From the start, the friendly staff was great! Had all sorts of drinks, The chips and salsa were homemade and delicious! No pressure to order quickly, my friend always has to read the menu 3 times! I ordered the Enchilada Deluxe, very large portion but I managed to clean my plate! My friend had the Baja Tacos with a side of beans and salad. We both wiped the plates clean! I suggest going to an authentic family owned Mexican Restaurant! This is the place!!! read more

I came here because of the table side guacamole as I read in the menu prior to my visit. We were served with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips are thin, crispy, and warm. The salsa is thin, and not having much flavor. Of course as I had planned, I ordered the table side guacamole. I was disappointed that the guacamole was already prepared on the stone bowl. On top of the deception, it's mixed with I assume sour cream so I am missing the taste of fresh chunky guacamole. I ordered shrimp Vallarta with dressing on the side. The menu said it comes with cilantro dressing. My salad has a lot of big and fresh shrimp. I asked for the dressing and the server asked what dressing I would like. I asked for the cilantro dressing and he looked confused and offered me ranch or balsamic . I just said don't worry about it, I didn't need any dressing. The shrimps were perfectly cooked but not too much flavor except being salty I tried my husband's carnitas. It has weird strong artificial flavor and salty. Definitely not recommend this. My father in law had steak and he enjoyed it. My husband had frozen Coronarita, it's pretty good. read more

We decided to give Sabor Azteca another chance on the recommendation of a friend. This time the food came out hot and tasted good. Service was a bit slow, but it was right afterwards lunchtime. The only issue we had was the smell of sewage when you first go in. Not strong but it's there. read more

Came in for late dinner with my daughter upon entry was the staff greeted us and brought us to our table. The place was busy many different tables celebrating birthdays. Staff singing and playing instruments, so lively and fun. Our server Elvin was super friendly and helpful. Food came out in a timely fashion. The consume was absolutely delicious! We had leftovers to bring home, portions are huge. We enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to visiting again. read more

Clifton Park is not that far off the beaten path from where we live. New restaurant suggests that we need to go out for a meal. Old Ruby Tuesday's has been rehabed to fit a lovely Mexican venue. They start out as most do with chips and salsa. Salsa appears to be freshly made, but could use a little more heat. With restaurants trying to keep tables clear, no hot sauce was available to spice it up. Another nice feature of this restaurant, is that they come table side to make fresh guacamole. (We opted to try another time.) Being a shrimp fan, I ordered the Camarones Al Ajillo. Just as their menu says "Delicious gmo-free shrimp cooked in our homemade garlic sauce. Served with rice and garnished with roasted red peppers." It was delish! Presentation was lovely. Also tried the flan since other reviews raved on how good it was. Yes, a great mouth feel, creamy, light. I'd go back just for the flan it was that good. That being said, the food was very good. Parking is ample. We will most likely go back to try more items on the large menu. read more

Will not eat here again. My wife and I stopped in for a 1:30 PM Sunday lunch, I ordered chicken and steak fajitas my wife got the enchiladas verde. The chicken and steak were both quite dry and overcooked, likely because they were reheated from a previous day. The green peppers and onions were also not fresh, nor were the tortillas. I'm a big guy and never have food left over. However this time I had no desire to finish my meal. My wife meal was likewise not fresh and somewhat bland in taste. As far as ambiance, our wait staff were all friendly and accommodating. However they were unable to do anything about the blaring Mexican music playing throughout the restaurant. read more

Food tasted ok- nice clean place but just wasn't all that "wowed"..it wasn't necessarily cheap either and with so much Mexican food competition in the area, something needs to set a good place apart from all others. The party had dessert and it was nothin at all like real Mexican would be like. Smells great from the outside, food wasn't bad, just nothing exceptional.. read more

Customization through online ordering is the feature to highlight here. Many of the dishes offered give you the option of adding more or totally removing items in a dish. Want corn or flour tortillas? Just check the box for your choice or add to the comments. Can't stand cilantro but want more onions? Well, minus out the cilantro and plus the onions listed under your dish selection. Our online order was prepared exactly to our submitted request. We were offered a variety of available pickup times, including asap, and our order was bagged and waiting for us when we arrived one minute after the chosen time. The Chorizo Fundido ($6.99) was a good-sized portion for two with plenty of corn chips provided. This creamy cheese dip with beef and house-made chorizo was a bit more runny than we would have preferred. Even after it thickened slightly as it cooled, not much would adhere to the chips as you dipped them. Flavor wise, it was OK and the chips were not salty. A side order of Chiles Poblanos ($5.99) was two poblano peppers stuffed with cheese, coated, and deep-fried, and smothered with an oily, melted, cheesy topping. We enjoy poblano peppers but could not distinguish flavor-wise that these were in fact poblanos even though they looked like poblanos. Tacos de Alambre ($16.99) are three soft tortillas, we chose corn, filled with grilled chicken, chorizo, bacon, and pineapple, topped with cilantro and shredded cheese. The accompanying rice and beans were very ordinary. The tortillas might have benefited from a few more seconds on the griddle and the chicken was dry. The remainder of ingredients were a nice blend of flavors. Pollo con Mole ($15.99) was very different than what I was expecting. Mole means sauce made with chiles, and when offered with chicken it typically is a sauce made famous by its inclusion of chocolate as its sweetener. Yes, there are many variations, but I did not notice the richness, spiciness, or a bit of chocolate sweetness in this mole. So I was needless to say, disappointed. I haven't decided how to describe the cut of the chicken, you might want to look at my photo. The pieces were something akin to short strips used to make chicken fingers for kids and likely from their precooked supply used in adding to their taco dishes. The chicken bordered on being overcooked, but I definitely didn't need a knife. Again, the rice and beans were ordinary, the guacamole was just OK, and the pico de gallo was fresh and tasty. When we feel comfortable dining indoors again, I'd be interested in trying some of their Nachos. read more

Stale chips, soggy hard shell shredded beef tacos, but! But great carnitas plate, rice and beans cooked to perfection and the carnitas was juicy from start to finish. Plus the jalapeño and guacamole was an added accessory that made the dish absolutely exquisite. As for their service, for it not being fast food it came in 5 min!! Extremely fast which makes me ponder how they were so fast. read more

We keep having the best meals here. We don't like any where else. I have started trying different items. I just recently had a meal that came out in a valva rock bowl. It was amazing. read more

Another local Mexican restaurant to try! Their menu is well presented & there is a full drink/margarita menu insert as well. I enjoyed a delicious frozen coconut margarita as well as a "skinny" one. If requested, a gentleman prepared guacamole at your table, as you liked it! My fish tacos were a bit "mushy" do to the fact that the guacamole and sour cream came on them..I'd suggest some other fresh crispy ingredients or lettuce with the sauces on the side. My friend was very pleased with his fajitas. 4 stars given for ambiance, staff service/attentiveness and table side guacamole preparation. Will return! read more

First of all we were welcomed with smiling eyes and a super warm hello!!! From the young lady at the door to the young fellow that served us the service was STELLAR!! We had the table made guacamole and I would have loved to sit there and order another. But the better than delicious queso and mild salsa with warm chips were filling out belly's. The main meals were full of flavor and our table was silence due to stuffing our faces with our selections. It looks like we found our new Mexican restaurant. Give it a try!!! You will fall in love. read more

INCREDIBLE. Okay, so I'm going to start off by saying I don't normally (i.e. never) do Yelp reviews, but my amazing experience at Sabor Azteca required me to break my hermitage. My mother and I had lunch there today (first time trying out this new Mexican spot in Clifton Park) and it was remarkable. Atmosphere was top notch, Covid protocols were excellent (tables very spaced apart and very clean environment), and waters/delicious homemade chips and salsa were brought out immediately. Firstly, the service here was the best I have EVER received and being a formal waitress myself, I know how much effort it is to go above and beyond. If I remember correctly (I'm horrible at names) our waitress was named Bianca and she was so knowledgable, attentive, and treated us with immense kindness. I wish I could have her as our waitress every time I dined out. In addition to the lovely staff, the food was absolutely mouthwatering. I ordered the lunch fajitas and they were so fresh, perfectly seasoned, and it came with every side you could desire. My mother ordered the verde cheese enchilada and she loved it! We honestly gobbled up every last morsel. The drinks were also delectable! I highly recommend the house margarita and the piña colada - you won't be disappointed. Lastly, the flan was the BEST I've ever had (and I've tried many from California to Spain). The portion was voluptuous and the creamy melt-in-your-mouth texture and buttery caramel flavor should be envied by all other restaurants. I end with a thank you to this restaurant and it's staff for such a wonderful experience (it's hard to get these days, understandably). Your kindness was very appreciated and your cuisine was exquisite. We look forward to returning again and again :) read more
