Fiesta Azteca | Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Raytown

First off I need to mention that the photos listed here on Google are very old, this interior doesn't look anything like the photos they have posted, its not very inviting at all, I'm thinking they maybe had some water damage and just haven't fixed anything yet the back wall isn't even there anymore as shown in the photos. It literally looks like an under construction building. Next I'd like to say the service by the two young people was amazing. We were searching for some Mexican food in the Raytown area since we live there on the KC/Raytown line and haven't tried any of the local places this was the place I drove by a lot and thought lets try it out. It just wasn't very good, everything was watery and not very appetizing at all, my partner who's first food love is Mexican went so far as to say that he was grossed out by what was served. I would have to say I wasn't grossed out. However the first sign was the salsa not being very good, it was like a very watery tomato juice with cilantro in it. I ordered the two tacos and burrito and he orderd the chicken chimichunga. Everything was just watery and not very good. The rice was dry and had no flavor and the beans especially were so watery that everything was sitting in the beans. I hate writing reviews like this but I wanted to just give a heads up. If you're searching for some good Mexican food in the Raytown area this is not the place. ALTHOUGH that being said it has the makings if the place was cleaned up a bit and recipes tinkered it could be...

Update 2/15/23 I went back in because people keep talking about how great this place is and how it's the best. Haven't been here in 4 years. This is my update.

Salsa came out after drinks.. (only place iv encounter that) The salsa was definitely different by any other place. Watered down with chunks of unions and little amount of cilantro. The hot salsa was decent. Chips was salty.

Ordered asada steak burrito with rice and beans. The steak was very thin and fatty and chewy. The rice was decent. Beans was watery and would move if you tap the plate. But they wasn't terrible. Seems made there.

My daughter had fries and corn dog. I tried a bite. Reminded me of Costco. Wasn't terrible. Just nothing special.

My spouse had beef burrito with rice. Beef was watery/mushy to say. Didn't care for the taste.

The place was dead.. giving that reason I'm realizing everytime I pass it's dead. I don't think I need to State the obviously. Other place up the street is always busy. But again. To each their own.

2019 Decent food. I'll admit it was good for being a mom and pop place. They have their whole family there so wait time was nothing. Drinks was brought before you finished.. 4 stars because the owner thought the AC bill was too high? Was...

My husband and I tried Fiesta Azteca for the first time about 2 months ago. The food is fabulous! The portions are generous, the salsa is great, and the chips are light and so tasty!! We usually call in our orders and they are always ready when we get there. We dined in there a couple of weeks ago and the service was great, friendly and fast. My husband had a Margarita and said it was very good. I had a glass of wine which was good. The menu is pretty extensive with a lot of options. The food is authentic Mexican. Their steak tacos are delicious and generously filled. The pork carnitas are the best we’ve had…we split an order and both of us were full after we ate it. The employees are very friendly and conscientious too. We have ordered food from here at least once a week since we first tried it. I’m just sorry we didn’t try it sooner. This is by far the best Mexican food in Raytown, or anywhere in the...
