This place is a good example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I've never been to an El Azteca and I'm regretting not trying it sooner. The exterior leaves much to be desired, but as soon as you walk into the building you'll be pleasantly assaulted with an array of colors and fun decorative items and furniture. The staff is amazing. Our waiter was nice, friendly and informative. The kitchen staff were also friendly when I was wondering around taking pictures. The music is perfect for the atmosphere and not so loud that it's overwhelming. The portions are great for the price and the food is really good. Visits come with complimentary restaurant style nachos with a house bean dip and salsa which were amazing. The chicken I had was a little on the bland side, but I sampled everyone's plates to get a more well rounded opinion. The beans, rice, steak, lobster and shrimp were incredibly flavorful so it's possible I just got a bum draw. Lol I would strongly suggest it if you're craving some great Mexican food. 👍

Currently on a taco tour and this is #32 on the tour. We are eating the chips and salsa, lime margarita, steak and chicken tacos on a scale of 1-5. Chips and salsa: The chips and salsa were served with bean dip. The chips were warm, but didn’t have any salt on them. The salsa wasn’t spicy and had a strong cilantro taste (if you like that sort of thing). The bean dip was sweeter but really good and served hot - 4 Lime Margarita on the rocks: They state that they are freshly made margaritas but it was poured from a machine. To be fair it could have been made in the morning and put in the machine, but I feel like when you list it as freshly made, it is made/mixed to order. Regardless, it was a really good margarita - 5 Steak Taco: Flavor: 4 Fullness: 5 Appearance: 5 You cannot order just one taco here. The street tacos come three to an order. The taco was served on two tortillas. The steak was nicely flavored. Unfortunately there was some larger gristly pieces in some of them. The tacos were served with a creamy avocado salsa, which was so delicious by itself and on the tacos. Chicken Taco: Flavor: 1 Fullness: 3 Appearance: 1 The chicken tacos were ordered from the lunch menu due to not being able to get just one. The lunch option comes with two tacos and rice and beans. The chicken was very dry, yet liquidy. The tacos were ordered with just cheese and sour cream. The tacos were a complete mess. Plus inside one taco was a very long piece of tomato skin (which you can see in the picture) and then in the other taco it had chunks of diced up peppers. The rice and beans never came with the tacos. Service: Our server had an extremely difficult time understanding what was being said to him and had to be told multiple times. When it was brought up that the rice and beans had not been provided, which was to whomever we were paying, they rolled their eyes and stared at me and did not provide the rice and beans nor took money off, so as far as service goes, I would not go back- 1 Give us a follow on instagram @gbdiningdykes

Was in appleton shopping and stopped by on recommendation from friends. First impression walking in was your typical Mexican style restraunt you walk into. My personal standard for a 5 star restraunt is old Mexico. As soon as we got seated we were instantly greeted and served chips, salsa and bean dip. The bean dip was really good but as for the salsa, it was very watery and not much flavor. For drinks I had the house margarita which again was very average and doesn't compare to old Mexico. For my main corse I had the big burrito and my wife had the chimichanga. My meal was again very average and not much flavor compared again to my standard at old Mexico. I tried a bite of my wife's chimichanga which was better than my meal. Overall if I had to choose old Mexico is stilly standard and would choose it all day. If Google had quater stars this would be a 3.5 star restraunt. Not bad by any means but there are better options in my opinion.

Have been an El Azteca patron my whole life! Although they don't have my *favorite* Mexican food of all time, their food is still delicious and affordable and the perfect casual—formal place for a quick bite, date, or family gathering. It's classic Mexican-resturaunt food, the atmosphere takes the cake with bright colors, tall ceilings, and art, and the staff is thorough and welcoming. I didn't even tell them it was my birthday, but checking my ID for a margarita had them serving me flan and singing Happy Birthday! 🎂💐 My favorite is the bean dip here—so delicious!
