Aztlan — Restaurant in Reedsport

Super cool place with amazing decor & true Mexican ambiance. Great tradional music playing & they serve Horchata! YUM!! I forgot to ask if they make their own tortillas, darn it. My dining partner ordered a taco salad with beef, but he was disappointed to find out that it was chicken. He said the error was no big deal & that the chicken was deliciously different, tasting. I ordered of course Horchata to drink & a #3 off the lunch special menu. I was going to order a #13 originally but our waiter said, all tamals are made with pork & I didn't want pork. My #3 was a cheese enchilada, a tostada which comes with rice & beans. My first pleasant taste was that their enchilada sauce, was not like ALL the other places I have eaten at. All the other places enchilada sauce is heavy with chili powder &/or cumin flavor, which gets boring. Azatlan's red sauce is BURSTING with tomato flavor, maybe even a hint of tomatillo. You know when you pick a fresh, sweet, cherry tomato, from the vine & pop it into your mouth, bite down & it explodes in tomatoey goodness? That flavor? Yes, that's what I am talking about, slightly sweet & awesome in flavor. Best Red Sauce Ever! The rice was good, not a fan of its spice flavor, the Tostada was terrific, I just didn't prefer the spice flavor used in the chicken on it either. I have funny tastebuds, so this is NOT a ding against the restaurant, just my personal taste preference. The beans were VERY good, fresh, not sickeningly salty either. Y'all know my reviews well, by now, so yes, I will mention, I had about 10 or so sneezes, which means an additive or flavor enhancer was used in the preparation. I do honestly understand, that its commonly used, or is already in an ingredient, such as a packaged spice. Again not a ding on the restaurant. My body is just overly sensitive. All in all, I would EAGERLY go back & try more dishes here. The refreshing break, from the same boring, but decent flavors, at most other Mexican restaurants, was majorly enjoyable! Our waiter was nice & Elvia who checked on us & cashed us out, was a pure delight. I would go back even...

I don't understand how this place is allowed to do business!

Let me start with the smell of mold and leaking sewage. That alone should be enough to get the county in there to assure the restaurant is safe.

Next this restaurant does BAD business. To advertise one price then charge another is illegal. The steak Burrito is listed as $10.95, however I was charged $17.95 I was charged $6 For inside of guacamole which was brown. I'm pretty sure the meat inside was either rotten or pork. I can not name a time steak was light brown in color.

I see plenty of 5 star reviews honestly they must be paying people to say kind things. Save your energy save your money and your health stay away from this place. Atzlan is a disgrace to the oregon coast community. 10.95 would of been to much for product I get it every business was hit hard the last couple of years but to steal by over charging your patrons. Is disgusting and I hope as community we would hold our businesses to a higher standard

Mexican express is a fantastic option for good Mexican food. Try...

7 of us from out of town were visiting the dunes for a friends birthday. We stopped in for dinner. We were seated, chips and salsa was pretty good. Servers were always refilling chips, salsa and drinks whenever they saw we were empty. BUT....... they didn't celebrate our friends birthday in any way. No shot or even simply a birthday song. I specifically went to our male server (secretivily) and said "hey! We are here celebrating a birthday (pointed to the friend) and he replied "oh ok great" by the end of our meal I felt like the server was avoiding our table. Never came to see if we needed anything, the refills stopped, and our checks never came we had to walk to the front to pay. Pretty sad and very bad customer service. If the owners or management read this... understand that none of us will be returning and keep in mind there's other Mexican restaurants in the area that I'm sure will give way better customer service. And with that being said, I advise everyone to go to any other place to celebrate besides this one when...
