    I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! When the venue for my husband's suprise party fell through five hours before it was due to start, I frantically tried to find somewhere nearby that could accomdate 50 people on such short notice. The manager Saul was so kind and worked with me to get everything situated, giving us half the restaurant on a Saturday night. The food, drinks and service were spectacular (guests raved especially about the taquitos) and the atmosphere was superb. Five stars all around!

    Noelle is awesome and very attentive. She knows our standard order and is ready to serve as soon as we walk in.

    Completely disappointed. Azteca de Oro has been my favorite restaurant for many years, but the quality, freshness, and overall taste of the food have declined significantly. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were nothing like they used to be. The chicken had absolutely no flavor and tasted like pre-cooked frozen chicken breasts. The rice was clumpy and soggy, almost as if water had been added after it was cooked. It's a shame to see the quality, portions, and flavor of the food steadily declining. I truly hope they can return to the standards that made this restaurant so enjoyable for so many years.

    Best Mexican near UCF. And they deliver!

    Service has always been slow at this location but today was the worst and I will not be back. We were a larger party and the gratuity was automatically added. Which typically is not a problem but coupled with the lack of service it almost seemed intentional. The server’s other tables didn’t seem to fare much better but not as neglected as ours. It was non peak hours. Our server never delivered the second of the BOGO cocktails, checked to see if our orders were correct or asked if we needed anything. They did not return to the table until everyone was finished eating for over 10 minutes. And that was after someone in our party went and asked the bartender for our check.

    Saul, our server was very polite and he was very helpful in the beginning, but of course after we got our food, he disappeared. I’m looking at about 3 to 4 different workers. Here they’re all having fun. I’m trying to look at somebody to get their attention and finally this one server he automatically knew who was my server was, which was this gentleman and when he finally came over, I said to him oh wow, I didn’t know you were still here. I thought you were gone or something so I asked for a soda and that was it. He didn’t say I’m sorry for taking 20 minutes at least to come back to us after he brought us our food. He pretty much thought we were gonna not need nothing which caught me off guard, so I just felt a little disappointed with the lack of service I received from this man.

    It appears everybody raise their prices so high 😔

    Great place for live music on Cinco De Mayo. Guacamole appetizer custom at the table and large enough for 4. I have Taco salad, others had Chicken and burritos. Great portions and authentic food.

    I love Azteca and the food here, but the service isn't great at this location. The last guy we had was terrible and the one before him was bad too. We were short 1 of everything the entire dinner - short a water, missing a set of utensils, and only brought out 2 to-go boxes when we asked for 3. The waiter didn't acknowledge us at all when we said something, very rude. Then at the end, he brought out the check for $96, but charged us $114; we noticed it ourselves, he didn't even say anything.

    Yummy food, great atmosphere, and good service. I hadn’t been here in about 15 years. It has changed a lot and definitely for the better. Will be back to visit again for sure!

    Ordered takeout from Azteca on Taco Tuesday during Cinco de Mayo celebrations, and honestly they handled the chaos impressively well. The parking lot was absolutely packed and the place was buzzing with festivities — including a mechanical bull outside — so I was expecting delays, but the online ordering process worked great. Our tacos were hot, fresh, and ready right when I arrived. Despite how busy they were, pickup was smooth and efficient. I was in and out quickly, which was pretty remarkable considering the crowd and holiday atmosphere. The food quality was solid, portions were good, and everything tasted fresh. You could tell the staff was working hard to keep things moving during one of their busiest nights of the year. Overall, a really good takeout experience, especially on a night when many restaurants would have been overwhelmed.
