“The food at this place is out of this world and probably one of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. The service was impeccable. Our server Flora could not be more attentive and sweet. We will definitively come back next time we visit our son in college.“
“The interior decoration is amazing, creating an exotic and lovely dining experience.The waiters were super helpful. We were a bit overwhelmed by the menu, and told him what we’re looking for. All the recommendations we got are amazing!Absolutely love the Mole Bueno - the special Mexican sauce is just yummy! Also love their salsa sauce that goes with the chips - we prob have way too much chips than we should.Caramelized bananas are a very nice touch to end the meal.“

“We were having dinner with friends in Bethesda, but got there early so we decided to stop by this place for a margarita before going to the dinner. We had some spicy skinny margaritas and chips and salsa. Both the margaritas and the chips were great. We cannot speak to the rest of the menu, but will likely come back to try it out.“

So many food choices....Size of portions was fantastic.Friendly staff.Location is easy to find and access.I got chicken tacos, carne asada, and Birria.Vegetarian options: Can customize to your needs.Dietary restrictions: Will certainly meet whatever needs you have.Parking: If you're in the area for the day, better to walk.

“A bigger nicer patio after they renovated it. The indoor spacing is also pretty big and nice. The food was amazing, the cheese quesadilla was really good along with the fajitas which were also awesome. They have the best tortilla chips and salsa I've ever had. The service is always friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, this is your place.“
“I love this place! I've only been for lunch and tried their salads and bowls, which are very tasty and portioned just right. The name is kind of misleading, because the menu is full of options that aren't tacos and don't have fish. They also have beer and margaritas.“
“In my humble opinion, Plaza Azteca is one of the best Mexican/TexMex restaurants in the greater DC area. From the people, service, delicious food options and cleanliness, we always leave happy. Recommend the enchiladas platter, tacos and salads. Hope you enjoy Plaza Azteca as much as we do!“
“The food here was delicious!! Such bold flavors, not overbearing, just present in the right amounts. Perfectly balanced and fresh. Dax was our server. Very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. FTI: At the moment there's construction happening that obscures the location a bit. We definitely recommend.“
