Never had a good experience

by BritDolan at Citysearch

When I first moved to Seattle, I was going to UW and didn't have a car, so the Mexican restaurants that were convenient to school weren't that great, which is how I came upon Azteca to begin with. The service is great, the people were really nice and everything, it's just the food that kills the place. Once my friend ordered vegetarian fajitas, and the veggies had literally gone bad, no joke. The server took them back and apologized of course, but how the kitchen let those arrive at our table is a totally different story. Overall the food is sub-par, I wouldn't recommend.

  • Pros: Cheap
  • Cons: Food is NASTY

I won't go there again

by IndianFoodLover75 at Citysearch

The food in general was very lack-lustre as compared to Jalisco. The tortillas were rubbery. The chips were crispy but had a weird bitter taste. I will, definitely not go back again.

  • Pros: Lots of space, nice hosts
  • Cons: Bad food

azteca

by lld at Citysearch

Azteca is decent enough Mexican food but not great. Their fajita quesadilla and poblanos in scrambled egg are the only dishes I find to be consistantly good. The service at the Northgate location has declined since their move and remodel. Mojitos are awful, sangria is pretty good. Prices still reasonable enough and parking is readily available.

  • Pros: good parking
  • Cons: average food, service decline

I disagree with this. Azteca? I mean come on now. It's not comfort food.

  • Pros: parking is good, usually not crowded
  • Cons: not really mexican, bland food, not worth the money

Too expensive

by gaileej at Citysearch

Very nice but it's still basic Mexican cuisine -nicer than a cafe but but not much better in the food department.

  • Pros: nice ambience, good service, not crowded
  • Cons: pretentious
