Amazing service always , right when you sit down they are so attentive and nice. Refreshing experience after some less than prompt service in other Mexican establishments in the area.
My brother was. Sitting, doesn't have a Mexican food restaurant where he lives. We inhaled our food like fat ladies after a weight watchers meeting.
I have to say we thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Azteca. We ordered off the dinner menu. We ordered the grande burrito and my friend ordered the taco salad. The food was fresh and tasty. Everyone was friendly and they paid attention to our drinks and never let them get empty. We will definitely go back!
With our stay here in Bothell Wa. We originally was going to go to Olive Garden but their was a 50 minute and seen Azteca next door so we came over and we don't regret coming here. I ordered the Burrito Blanco and had chicken, rice, beans and some type of white sauce, and Damn was it ever good. I haven't gone to too many Azteca places but this place was pretty awesome and our waitress was super friendly and made us feel welcome. I'm not sure how far it was from our hotel in Bothell and I believe we were in Kirkland but if you're in the area go try the burrito Blanco it is so damn good you won't regret trying it out.
I am a little unsure why this place only gets 3 reviews. Sure, it's "Americanized" Mexican but that's to be expected and everything I have tried has been pretty tasty. My favorite is the chili verde which you get a huge portion of for lunch. Go at lunch for solid lunch specials! The service is always friendly too. They've been in business for 50 years for a reason.
Pancho behind the bar is the best margarita-slingin amigo I've ever had the pleasure of sitting with. He takes care of me and my lady every time and has always delivered. Azteca has amazing Mexican food for being deep in the PNW. Love this place!
The staff here are the most friendly and attentive I have had at any restaurant in a while now! Great lunch portion size of the chicken, great flavors. Just wish they would have taken more time with the cream sauce to really let it thicken up a bit, was a little on the thin side. None the less still delicious was just hoping for more rich and creamy
