Azteca - Spokane

I love dining at this restaurant. The staff is extremely friendly and the chips and salsa are delicious.

The chicken enchiladas are packed with a strong chipotle flavor and a hint of sweetness, which is just right. The salsa is delicious but not spicy at all. The rice was adequate, but the beans lacked flavor.

The mole enchiladas are very strong flavored with chipotle, and moderately sweet in a good way. Salsa has exceptional flavor, but lacks heat. Rice was sufficient, but beans are tasteless.

I have ate at Azteca countless times throughout the years but our most recent dining experience was on Friday, July 23. I really don’t think you can go wrong with Azteca, the food is always consistent and good. Prices are about average for a Mexican restaurant and the portions are large. I usually just choose the 1-item combination platter $10.75) because the portions are so plentiful and because I always fill up on the chips and salsa. The servers bring out big baskets of chips and always refill them no questions asked. Although I do usually opt for the combination platters, the blanco burrito is something on the menu that I have ventured out and tried before and it is excellent and unique. On Friday night our server was Alex and he did a nice job. Like I said, Azteca won’t disappoint if you are in the mood for Mexican.

Good food, large portions and good value. Mixed drinks are a bit weak but tasty. Family enjoyed the meal. Had shredded beef enchilada with a Chile Rellano. Son had the Mariscos Mojo be Ajo.
