Azteca de Oro

In the city for work and this was close to our hotel. This is a laid back casual spot. Food: Excellent, I decided to go with the Macho Burrito with Picadillo and got a side of sweet plantains. The burrito was flavorful and big enough for anyone's appetite.Service: Excellent, we were greeted as we arrived by a host at a reception type desk, he and our waiter David were equally friendly and polite. Our waiter was helpful and attentive and even went the extra mile. Ambiance: Welcoming environment, with a laid back feel. Modern vibes, full bar and booth seating. Nice tree art in one of the dining areas.

It was the cowboy's (my) 45th birthday and it was chosen to eat here. We made a reservation for three people at 6pm on a Sunday. When we checked in, we were seated in a booth. I was told that Sunday had all day happy hour, so I did 2 for house margaritas. While it was served in a large glass, it was weaker than a stubborn burro. I knew one of my guest wanted it with less alcohol, but perhaps my server mistakenly thought that I wanted it weak as well. I was pretty sure I requested the normal alcohol amount. If it was the normal amount, then they should call it the triste hour instead since we didn't enjoy it. For my entree, I took the chicken fajita quesadilla with double rice, no beans. There was a generous amount of quesadillas and inside had nice amounts of chicken, veggies, and cheese. They tasted alright. The tortilla was grilled nicely. The included guacamole and sour cream could have been bigger sized, but was good. The Mexican rice was filling enough. When I asked for hot sauce, I was given a salsa that had a smoky flavor instead of bringing the heat.The service was ok. They were helpful when we had a couple requests. There was a photographer taking photos, which we were given a free small photo, and them trying to sell us other larger photos. I wasn't impressed by this and also didn't enjoy being asked to get very close together. The atmosphere looks like you are in the outdoors with various fake trees inside. There is ample amount of seating, as well as a bar too. I did smell a bit of chemical cleaner when we arrived.While I do enjoy the branch in West Colonial Drive, the UCF branch doesn't seem up to par. With the weak and almost tasteless margarita, the chemical smell when seated to our table, and the unnecessary photographer, this didn't make my 45th birthday festive and felize. The only redemption was the decent service from our server, nice atmosphere, and passable quesadillas. I will most likely avoid this branch and stick with the West Colonial branch instead.

Full disclosure...my wife is of Mexican heritage. Her parents are from Jalisco and she was born in East LA (yes I sing the song to her any time I can make an excuse to do so ). My mother in law taught me to make her style of salsa (they call it chile, sounds like cheelay). I make red and green. My wife makes homemade enchiladas, gorditas, tacos, sopa de fideo, rice, beans, etc. I guess bear that in mind. The ambiance was fun. The staff was very friendly. We were seated quickly and in good spot. The chips. Stale. No salt. Not warm. Salsa. Has potential. There are some char marks in there so some of its grilled. Decent flavor. No spice. Like none. I ordered carne asada steak. I love skirt steak, it's one of my favorite cuts. My wife had it chicken enchiladas. She said they were ok, which means she didn't like them. Listen my steak was cooked perfectly. I mean perfect. Tender. Soft. Medium. Man it looked so good. They didn't season it. It was hands down the most bland cut of meat I've ever tasted. My wife is not a big salt person. I had her try it and she didn't taste any salt or anything else either. She looked at me and said, "Did they forgot to put salt on it?"Although the staff was great, the ambiance was fun, I wouldn't go back for food...it was very uninspiring.

The food is a little too pricy for the food quality. The steak is a little bland and it wasn't as juicy and tender. The staffs were very nice and very accommodating!

I came to the UCF location twice this year once in January and on 11/20/23. The first time I had a blueberry margarita, which was pretty good. I also had their fresh guacamole and salsa and chips were served as well. Daughter and I also had chicken quesadillas. The guacamole, salsa and chips lacked flavor. I've had much better. The quesadillas were good. My recent visit was not any better. I ordered the margarita flight, which I was told was the equivalent of one of their large margaritas. I also ordered the quesadilla and the coconut shrimp. I was sitting at the bar so the chips and salsa were also given to me. Salsa is still not good, nor are the chips. Quesadillas was good and the coconut shrimp did not even have a hint of a taste of coconut. Worse, my flight of margaritas tasted virgin. I did not taste liquor. I think I was cheated so I don't recommend that anyone get the flight. Bartender was very nice. Maybe I'll go back and try something different or maybe I won't. I'm on the fence.

I was in Orlando the weekend of July 28 so on Saturday I was on the search for Mexican food as it's my favorite this placed popped up with great reviews so there I went the atmosphere was phenomenal it was a beautiful restaurant incredible service and great food! The Equites was so tasteful , love me some chips & salsa , my drink was refreshing, the shrimp from the fajitas were phenomenal although the steak was a lil rough over cooked it still tasted good if I revisit since I am an out of towner I would definitely advised them not to overcook the meat! My daughter steak was much better and not rough I do highly recommend this place !

Absolutely love the ambience in this little place. The trees are super cool and the unique lanterns give off a romantic hue.The combination platter was good, but not great. The couple who had the fajitas said they were very good. The macho burrito was huge and my husband said it was tasty.Kind of funny, but I think the chips and salsa was the highlight.

Ordered takeout from here. Food was good. Service was quick and accurate. I had a steak burrito and others had tacos. No complaints

The carne asada burrito was very delicious. The guacamole was made in front of us and was also ddelicious.The service was good for being a busy night. My family enjoyed the music and the look of the place. If you are ever near this restaurant, I recommend you stop in and give them a try.

yum Yum Yum Yum that's all I have to say get anything from this restaurant and you will be satisfied. Definitely don't skip out on the queso and my favorite is the fried fish if you're into that, but if not get some Birria tacos and you will be nothing but happy.
