Azteca is consistently good across all the states we've visited. The portions are generous and delicious. The service is always friendly. We especially appreciate that each dish is distinct in it's own way. At lots of Mexican restaurants, many of the dishes taste basically the same. The only difference may be the protein choice or corn or flour tortillas. But at Azteca the actual taste from one dish to another is a different experience.

This place was absolutely amazing. Jason our waiter was very pleasant and provided some great humor to our meal experience. The views and the atmosphere were outstanding. Food met all expectations of pure delight to the taste buds. Thanks Jason for your superb service. When I go back, I will ask to be seated in Jason's section.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. The food is always so flavorful, comes out hot and fast everytime. The service had been quite bad the last 6 months or so. The last 4 times we have come it has been great. I can tell they are making improvements and possibly training differently. Good job!!

Finally tried this Azteca out today. Good appropriate decorations. Amazing food. Great service. I had steak fajitas and they were perfect. Even their fries and chips are just right. Recommend this restaurant 100%

We had a great experience today at Azteca in Riverstone! I know they were short on staff, which is not anything they can control so I didn't think they should lose a star over that, and they were all so friendly, which they could've been stressed out, but they didn't act it at all! We got chips, salsa and soda, they took our order and when our food was delivered to our table it was piping hot, which obviously is great! Our server made sure to fill our drinks quickly and got us paid out quickly too. I would definitely go back!

We recently dined at Azteca Southwest Grill and had an excellent experience. I ordered the Desert Fire Fundido, which was fantastic. The rolled flour tortilla filled with seasoned chicken was crispy and smothered in a delicious jalapeno cream cheese and melted American cheese. The dish had a perfect balance of warmth and cheesiness with a little kick. The accompanying black beans and southwest rice were also great. My wife had the BBQ Chicken Salad, which was fresh and flavorful. The romaine lettuce, ranch dressing, grilled chicken, corn, black beans, avocado, tomato, and BBQ sauce all came together perfectly. The service was outstanding. We were seated quickly, and our drinks arrived shortly after ordering. The food service was well-timed, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. The restaurant's ambiance is nice, and the service from beginning to end was solid. If you're looking for quality Southwest/Mexican cuisine, I definitely recommend Azteca Southwest Grill!
