I just want to start off by saying the manager is highly unprofessional, rude, and doesnt care about any customer and there health. I ordered chicken and steak fajitas yesterday for pick up and when I got home and started to eat I had a piece of what looked like a pebble rock it could of been a hard bone but it looked more like a pebble rock to me so I didn't eat all my food I ended up eating the rest of it today which is a day after and I ended up having a cooked cockaroach in my mouth when I spit it out and seen it was a cockaroach I was highly disgusted and immediately started to throw it up anyways when I called azteca to speak to the manager he asked me why I'm calling him today about it and I said because I didn't eat all my food yesterday then he kept arguing with me about how cockaroaches don't go in food and I'm like well it sure is in my food mixed in with the onions peppers and chicken and steak he kept denying it then I asked him if he likes to eat food with cockaroaches in it and he told me yes he does he does like to eat it and being a smart Aleck so I proceeded to tell him I'm reporting them to the health department and contacting news channel 8 and he told me go ahead and hung up the phone on me. I don't appreciate having bugs in my food that can cause me illness and health issues and mentally I'm not okay. I will never eat here again and I will make sure this goes viral. There is obviously an Infestation in that restaurant and they do not care about people's health.

Vegan Options: We noticed a new menu online a few months ago that touted vegan options and we were extremely excited since most of the previous options were subpar. We went right away only to find that the menu wasn't being used yet. We called back about once a week, eventually told that they would be switching to the new menu "next week". Unfortunately whoever told us this was mistaken and we would up ordering an array of sides again. Finally, today, we were about to test out the new vegan menu. We got two Burrito Veganos and asked for a kids quesadilla with the "vegan gourmet cheese". What my daughter actually received was a warm tortilla filled with raw, unflavored tofu. I mean pieces were still in the shape of the tofu block. These pieces were also covering our vegan burritos. I went to speak with a manager about using this raw tofu instead of any of the other vegan cheese options and was told that this is just how it's prepared. He wouldn't even try it to see how flavorless it was. The rest of the burrito was fine, but this disappointment was the final blow for our family. We will not be returning again.

Update 9/25/23: the food was awful today aside from the rice. I got the Pollo Patrón Chicken from the lunch menu and the vegetables were very obviously frozen (broccoli was inedible. The cauliflower and zucchini were edible, but not good.) There was also carrots and onions in it (not on menu) and the server told us the creamy cheese sauce was the same as the cheese sauce on the fried rice, but it was very watery (probably from the frozen vegetables). We are so disappointed as this was one of our favorites but no way we will be back. Puerto Vallarta is much better. I wonder if this location is under new ownership, and if so then that must be why. Yuck. Also to note, they would only seat us in the bar, even with our infant daughter. Kind of weird, but oh well. Also, the changing table in the bathroom was disgusting. Probably hasn't been cleaned in months. Just so many reasons to not go back. Old review: SO good. I hope this location stays! The new Toro Azteca that they converted in Manchester is horrible.

The service was amazing. The hostess greeted us with a warm smile and escorted us to our seats. She made sure the selection was to our liking. The food was delicious.
