Reviews for El Azteca Mexican Restaurant in Appleton, WI

I like this place the service is excellent, good food. Clean place. I go so often with my daughter. The waiters are always... friendly Read more

Food was delicious, smaller portions than I would expect at a Mexican restaurant though. However, lower prices reflect the plate... size. I would have gladly spent $15 on my plate for a bigger burrito. Read more

Haven't had Hispanic food this good since the last time I visited SoCal. Their tacos are great and the "Mini Monster" burrito is... a must try (though I suggest splitting it between 2-4 people depending on which size you order). Read more

I've traveled all of the US and multiple countries for 4 years, and there isn't a place where I've felt more welcome than El... Azteca. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we walked out we felt cared for, and like our experience was a personalizedone. Luis was the star of the show. If you are fortunate enough to have a table where Luis is serving you, you can rest assuredthat you'll have nothing less than the highest quality service one could ask for. Not only was he friendly and welcoming, but hepaid attention to what we were enjoying without us ever needing to say anything. A member of our party loved the hot sauces andspicy foods, and he went out of his way to offer a delicious sauce that would boost the flavor of his quesadilla. He wasconstantly checking in and clearing things without being intrusive, though we were happy to drop everything to soak in thesunshine he carried with him everywhere he went. Our party of three spent all evening talking about how much we loved and missedLuis, and we're already prime to change our schedules to visit again any time he works. He is the apple to our pie. I'vepersonally always had excellent experiences with the people here, but he took it to another level. Everyone here is wonderful -when I used a cane after burning my foot, every single person who passed, no matter how busy they were, stopped to make sure Iwas comfortable and cared for while waiting for a table. I was happy to wait with care like that! They deserved to be busy. If Icould afford to tip 100%, I always would when I eat here, as the quality of staff is unparalleled. Read more

Best food I have had in my life! 10/10. The place is decorated beautifully and the customer service was spectacular. Don't even... get me started on the food. It tasted soooo good. Their drinks are also to die for. I recommend dining here! Read more

Good music, cool atmosphere, family friendly restaurant. The servers could be a bit more enthused and the Mens bathroom could... use a little TLC but the food was delicious and delivered surprisingly fast. Read more

The restaurant itself inside is very authentic and the food matches just that. I was a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the... food as it didn?t have much spice or sweetness. It was a little bland in my opinion. I typically get sick off of restaurantfood, and as of now, hours later I am feeling completely fine. So like any restaurants it has its pros and cons. But you cannotgo wrong with eating here, it?s not bad food. The staff is nice which is always enjoyable. FYI they do birthday celebrations ifyou tell a staff member it?s your birthday, they sing for you and give you a little something. Read more

I'm definitely a fan of traditional Mexican restaurants but this was rather disappointing. The chips, bean dip & salsa... appetizer were the only thing I enjoyed. The bean dip was very hot and the salsa was good too. I had a combo plate of a hardshell taco and enchilada (ordered a tostada got an enchilada). Wait staff was very nice but said the number I ordered was what Igot. I had to remind them to bring the side of sour cream I ordered. The rice and beans were not very hot and the beans hadlima beans from possibly another meal option straggled about in them? Both rice and beans were definitely very lackluster. Theinsides of my taco and enchilada didn't seem very warm either and the beef was possibly re-heated a few times. It had thatleftover taste you know? I had my son with me, he ordered a cheeseburger because he didn't feel like Mexican, it too wasn'tvery inspiring. All the burger toppings were on the side, except the cheese. I won't take points for this meal though, it's aMexican restaurant not a burger joint, and he enjoyed the fries. We ordered Jarritos Mexico soda, did you guys know it comes inplastic bottles?? Who wants a Jarritos soda in a plastic bottle? Definitely a disappointment for me. It's all about that canesugar goodness in a cold glass bottle. Plus, they bring it out warm and give you a glass of ice. I didn't end up drinkingmine. I am in no way a germaphobe...but I have to be honest, the many layers of clear lacquer table (with awesome designunderneath) felt a little sticky. Not the sticky that goes away either. They need to be refinished or something.... I don'tusually rate a restaurant so low but for the first time in a long time I am. I'm not a Karen, I didn't complain, still tippedthe waiter a decent tip. He was very attentive and polite. It's just not somewhere I feel like I need to revisit. Read more
