Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant · Mount Penn — Restaurant in Reading

This is the 3rd Mexican/Spanish Food Restaurant I have tried. The menu made the food I ordered "sound" delicious but when it showed up:. NO color as everything was colorless:. Rice was undercooked with a couple if peas, carrots, beans tossed in / 3 enchiladas choices were swimming in a salty cheese sauce and stuffings were just tasteless / fried ice cream wound up going home with me (I live close) so I had dessert for 3 days / NO salted rim on my Margarita (although this place DOES actually have Tequila in them) /\ the Atmosphere, plush booths, skeleton at the bar for Halloween season, and Wait Service were the best part of my visit ~ oh yeah the standard chips for dipping were also tasteless but dips were good to add to my food to give it flavor.

ALL IN ALL: the 3 places here in the Exeter area of Reading were DISAPPOINTING.! ... YEARS AGO, a friend and I had the PLEASURE of eating in a Spanish/Mexican place in Fort Washington, Pa that had been recommended as ""authentic food"" and the entire meal we enjoyed HAD COLORS AND FLAVORS and the servers there were in colorful skirts and the men with fancy vests making the visit extremely pleasurable especially when the grandmotherly older lady from the kitchen staff came out to visit the tables offering a taste of a new dipping sauce she was preparing. Back to Thai, Italian, Asian, and cuisine from India for me ~ no more expensive BUT TOTALLY TASTELESS Spanish...

The service has always been the knockout punch at our favorite place in Reading but the food, the food was always spectacular. So we got excited this Saturday night for another special experience in spite of the trying times we are all going through. So disappointed were we when after the warm and on point service we got the food to our table and noticed it was missing quite a few details we had become accustomed to. The fajita platter was missing the lettuce onions and tomato. The carnitas dinner was very large boulders of meat and no sauce on anything. The guacamole was full of chunks and was not blended. It seemed like they lost their attention to detail and just wanted to throw whatever they wanted at us. I’m looking forward to the food out of the box during the week compared to what received tonight it will be much better. Other than the food we had to walk back in the restaurant to ask for forks and napkins. We want our...

Great food and service was on point. Friendly and not too much talking. Seafood chimi was great, loaded with shrimp and crab. Beans and rice were good. The dance it was smothered in was fantastic. Presentation was also appealing and the appetizer of empanadas was fantastic. Some of the best since they aren't over done and taste great. The sauces are complimentary and go well. Shrimp and avocado were good, not too spicy, but the fried onions and mixture were well balanced. Speaking of spicy, the salsa is medium, if you want more heat please ask. There is also a white sauce to dip your nachos in that is awesome, although try not to fill up on it too much! Kid friendly and family friendly, but some corners were a couple can sit and talk are there. Music is authentic but not intrusive. Drink menu and beer available as well as pick up and door dash available. Come in if your hungry portions are good and you wont be...
