El Azteca Mexican Restaurant

Excellent food for out-of-towners like me. El Azteca Mexican Restaurant is just right across street from my hotel. I could had walked but my friend warned me about the busy traffic.Parking was plenty. We were here on a Sunday brunch hour. Menu is huge like everyone said. So, I started with the easy one. Combo 8 was mine. My friend had fajitas. I really enjoyed the Mexican ambiance. Tables were made with solid wood. Restaurant interior was clean. Wait staff was courteous. Prices are very reasonableIf I stayed at the same hotel next time, I would definitely come back. Especially, the white salsa with the chips.

Excellent service in a cozy family Spanish-style setting. Huge portions and reasonable prices. The Burrito California was enormous and the fajitas for two could have fed four. Margaritas were a little weak but still tasty. Overall, a great spot!

I-95 jammed, taking a detour around the traffic. Needed food. Walked in. Super friendly. Great lunch menu, super quick, affordable and good portions. Solid chili relleno.

There are evidently good Mexican restaurants in Ashland but this isn't one of them. Stay clear if this place. Poor food and service it didn't matter what we ordered it looked like a frozen dinner.

Thoroughly enjoyable. I had spotted this authentic looking spot on a previous trip and wanted to try it at some point.Menu is huge with the typical items including potato enchiladas and burritos, which I always enjoy when they are offered.Dishes did not disappoint and appreciate the authenticity. Reminds me of Cali Mexican restaurants.Easy off i-95.

Our server Beto was outstanding, on top of everything and he was yes sir, no ma'am with everyone at our table. Our food portions were great. If you are around Ashland this is a good spot to come for lunch or dinner.

A lot of really good food, service was great, we didn't have to wait long at all. The restaurant was clean and organized.

All the food is delicious, its feel fresh food the place is old but familiar and a nice service

This was my families first time coming here, considering we were only in the area for kings dominion. We were craving some hispanic food and saw the reviews for this place and it is definitely worth the hype. Our hispanic restaurants back home aren't authentic but you can definitely tell at this place that they know a thing or two about what they're doing. I had the shrimp chimichanga, highly recommend if you're a shrimp lover. Their beans aren't the typical refried beans out of a can and the rice mixed together is definitely a chefs kiss. Our waiter was fast with refills, bringing our food out in under the 10 minutes after we ordered, and topped our drinks off before getting halfway empty. The establishment is definitely a cute place with character, and if you're passing through the virginia area then i would highly recommend this place.

Our server had such a bad attitude towards us from the moment we walked in. He threw the menus on the table and left. We asked for 2 burritos without salsa on the outside and toasted tortillas. Which isn't a lot to ask for, but our server started to say no..no..no. We asked why not and he didn't give us a straight answer. After a 4 minute back and forth he said "fine" with a horrible tone. Btw the restaurant was not packed, only 3 other families were there. After taking our order he snatched the menus out of our hands and mumbled something in his native language. At this point we decided to leave. We went to Taqueria Los Altos, just a couple blocks away. Taqueria Los Altos' service was just perfect, they took their time while taking our order and the food was much better. They gave us exactly what we asked for with a great attitude. We will never go back to el azteca
