Azteca's Mexican Cuisine

Stopped in for a quick late lunch on a Saturday. We hit between the rushes so we avoided a wait for a table. Staff as always was super friendly and sat us immediately. Within minutes we had waters and chips and salsa (mild and hot). Placed our orders and the drinks were served promptly. Allowing us to sip and enjoy the chips. The food was served quickly and everything was spot on and delicious. This is the go to place Mexican food outside of the Mexican Town in Detroit.

I seriously wanted to like this place and get hyped up like all these other reviews but..... I just can't... The restaurant was/is very Mexican American food nothing to knock your socks off menu based... The restaurant overall is nice and seemed clean with little to no problems with dishes or dirty floors. Typical Mexican look on the inside nothing crazy. The waiter seemed very nice and always seemed to be prompted on drinks, unfortunately we couldn't really hear him since he talked low we had to really pay attention. The food was personally mediocre at best.. My GF and I got the same which was a combo platter came with a wide selection for $15 each. I was full at the end but overall it was kinda flavorless and seemed to be mostly lettuce and tomatoes rather than meat. My son got a chicken quesadilla with queso sauce on the side..... He said the quesadilla was good and so was the sauce...This is where it got VERY disappointing... $4.59 for a small bowl I'd not even consider a bowl of the sauce... that's highway robbery!!! The quesadilla was $14 which is also very high and doesn't include no beans or rice! I truly don't understand the hype around this place.... I honestly feel the food and prices are way higher than what they are severing... There's higher quality restaurants in the area or a little bit more of a drive for higher quality food and better prices. I'll be passing on returning back to the restaurant

The place was packed even though it's a large place with plenty of seating. Upon arrival I was told 30-40 minute wait time but we were seated within 20 minutes. The server was super nice and patient. He checked on us regularly, and was on top of his game. The spicy salsa was decent, but rest of the food was absolutely flavour less. They used mozzarella cheese on top of enchiladas, literally thick layer of pizza cheese on tortillas. No red sauce. The beans and rice were also lacking flavour/spice. Enchiladas verde were by far one of worst things I have ever had.

After years of hearing good things about this place, I finally decided to give it a chance. Holy ****, what a mistake that was. Why I didn't realize that most of the recommendations for this place were from suburbanite, non foodie acquaintances who are scared to death of ethnic food and think Outback Steakhouse is fine dining is beyond me. My mistake. If you're looking for good, authentic Mexican food, skip this place. Go a couple miles south to Las Tortugas or head to Oaxaca in Troy or Carnival Market in Auburn Hills...just don't go here. This place has some of the most bland, unexciting MEH-xican food I've ever tried. As basic as it comes. Normally I'm a chips and salsa junky, love the stuff. Needless to say at first glance I was a little annoyed by the up charge noted on the menu for chip refills. That disappointment departed when the first basket arrived. No salt, no flavor, reminded me of a catholic communion wafer. We didn't even finish half the basket. Rough way to start the meal. For entree, I had the wet burrito. I'm not sure that the chili topping wasn't Hormel chili from a can, even worse, it was cold. The meat and bean filling were bland, Taco Bell quality ingredients. My wife had chicken enchiladas. She had the same complaint. Her food was bland, flavorless and absolutely caked in entirely too much greasy cheese. All in all, it was a terribly disappointing experience full of bland, Americanized versions of Mexican adjacent dishes.

Great food! Even with it being dinner rush, food was delivered quick and hot! Service was great, greeted, and checked on several times ! Didn't get a chance to catch the waitresses name but she did an outstanding job!
