Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I love Azteca. One of the owners used to come to the gym I worked at, and is hilarious.( What's up Gustavo?) I grew up in Phoenix, AZ and had the pleasure of having dozens of great authentic Mexican restaurants near by, and I rank Azteca right up there with any of them. They have something for everyone. Everything from 100% authentic Mexican cuisine, and they have some Gringo stuff if you want more of an American/Mexican dish. Their salsa is FANTASTIC. They don't overload it with too much cilantro like some other places do. The atmosphere is great. Bright colored paint and decorations, a live mariachi band. Overall I am very satisfied, and would recommend it to anyone.

The Good: Surprisingly authentic Mexican food, EXCELLENT service, bright & comfortable atmosphere. The Bad: Not many vegetarian options (not unusual for Mexican restaurants). My spinach burrito was literally just sauteed spinach in a tortilla, but the rice and beans were awesome, as was the homemade salsa. The Food: Delicious rice and beans, awesome homemade salsa & fresh chips. My boyfriend got the steak tacos -- I normally don't love steak but the flavor was incredible and the steak was perfectly cooked, it was delicious! The Service: Excellent. The second we walked in we were greeted by a line of waiters, one of whom promptly led us to our table and chatted with us while someone else immediately dropped off waters, chips and salsa. Fast and friendly service put our experience on another level, we were so happy to have found this spot while traveling across the country! We felt welcome in this huge, colorful, comfortable restaurant. As we were eating a family of ten was seated next to us. At some restaurants large tables have a hard time getting seated without fuss -- at Azteca, they were warmly welcomed and when their food was ready, our waiter dropped off every single plate to the right person at the huge table with no hesitation, I was impressed! Overall: If you're traveling through Iowa, this is an awesome place to kick back and enjoy authentic Mexican food with great service and atmosphere.

The place looked it would serve pretty authentic Mexican food. I ordered the fajita quesadilla. It was good and the portion was huge. It was a tad in the salty and greasy side. The quesadilla also looked very home style. I was looking more at the regular American style quesadilla with triangles on my plate than the half moon kind. I should have ordered the more authentic dishes instead of the mainstream. Overall, food was good and service was great as well. I'll come back and try other things on their menu.

We ordered fajitas fom the lunch menu. $8. They also have fajitas on the Dinner menu for $5 more. Not a lot of flavor for the chicken fajitas. Wife said the steak fajitas taste like organ meat. (:-0 However they were large size size portions.

Place is going downhill... Not happy. Texas Fajitas for 2 on Valentine's Day had 5 shrimp in the whole skillet and a friend of mine had a craft single melted on their enchilada... Wow. That's all I can say. I have not been pleased with anything the last year and a half that I have visited.

This is one of the few 3-star joints that will keep me coming back for more every time. My mind says 3-stars, but thinking of a warm bowl of Queso Fundido my belly says 5 all the way. But alas, reality. There are hoards of underagers looking for adult bevs- expected at a place like this. There are tribes of large people looking for their fill on above average mexican food... This place is always busy with a diverse crowd, sometimes rowdy, and always returns the same result. Extremely casual is the atmosphere- loud is the noise level. Prices are fair- drinks are fairly strong (sometimes lethal)... and the food is tasty. Its all very standard for a go-to mexican place. No complaints at all... But its not so mind blowing that I need to go throwing 4/5 stars at it!

This location has excellent food, as good as the other Azteca places. Where it falls short is the service. We regularly end up ignored for long periods with empty drinks or needing a napkin or the check. We even get the wrong for sometimes. We have no such problems at other Azteca locations so we usually go elsewhere even though this one is closest.
(3)Andersen H.
My friends and I went a couple of months ago and had a great experience. The staff was fun and friendly, our food was good and we got it fast, and prices were definitely reasonable. Ever since we keep going back sometimes more than once a week. Each time it's been a good experience and the food has always been tasty. I would recommend this place to my friends!!

Azteca is my go-to place in the QCA for Mexican food. Somewhere along the way, the wonderful residents of Iowa decided that Mexican food should consist of super bland beef tacos in flour tortilla and corn hard shells, and they like it that way! Thank goodness Azteca offers traditional mexican plates such as, arroz con pollo, fajitas, carne asada, and my favorite, what i always order, the Pollo Jalisco. Chicken with onions, mushrooms and cheese sauce.Most entrees are served with tasty rice and beans which fill you up! Guests are served complementary chips and salsa when they sit down, the chips are good, and the salsa is above average, my wife says I shouldn't judge salsa though, because I always add a bunch of the green habanero hot sauce to it. (What ca I say? Heat is my thing!) I read that someone had health concerns with this particular restaurant. My wife and I eat at Azteca once or twice a week, every week and we have never gotten sick. The food is great, the waiters are kind, efficient, and good at what they do. If you are looking for a great sit-down Mexican restaurant in the QCA, then I recommend making the drive to Azteca! If you found this review helpful, please take a second to compliment it, rate it as helpful and become a fan!

The atmosphere was cute, standard Mexican restaurant atmosphere, plus a fish tank for the kiddos to look at. The salsa was super watery and lacking flavor, I was not a big fan. Plates were super hot, which was announced, but also should be considered a liability! I had a kid with me and I was horrified he'd burn himself, I made him wait a few minutes to eat because of it. My enchiladas arrived with big tomato slices like you'd find on a sandwich instead of diced, which was different, but I was concerned that my entire dish was smothered in sour cream and sauce and guac, I was wondering what was hiding in there... most other restaurants I'm familiar with plate these things nicely and off to the side instead of slopping them all over the dish. My husband's carne asada tacos were pretty damn gross. SUPER greasy and the meat was just... off. Trust me, I'm Mexican. I know when a taco is bogus. Oh, and no horchata (only on certain days?) and super limited selection of Jarritos. Boo. I just really wasn't all that impressed with this place. Came here based on Yelp reviews, my first Mexican dining experience in the Quad Cities, and it was no bueno. Probably won't be back, though I will say the staff was nice and I am sorry to them for my bad review.

Not sure why this place is so highly rated, I've always found it underwhelming. Been here several times due to members of my wife's family liking it. Fajitas are always salty and overcooked; just not very good. The QC has a lot of Mexican restaurants but none of high quality. Also, don't plan on carrying on a conversation at your table as the place is incredibly noisy.
(2)Jeannie B.
Can't decide what was better - the food or the service. So good! We ate disappointed that we had another three hours of driving to do, preventing us from trying the margaritas!
(5)Douglas A.
It was good. Typically Mexican restaurant! Good good! Margaritas were ok. Cheese dip was good. Service was good very friendly! Couple of issues, but you'll have that! Overall it's worth a try. Will return but only after we try the other Mexican restaurants first!
(4)Danielle S.
Azteca has to be the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Their service is always so friendly, the food is great, and the drinks a delish! They always take very good care of us. The cheese dip for the chips is really good. If someone in your party has a birthday - let them know! They will bring out a sombrero, sing to them, and a shot of tequila!
(5)Michael M.
My favorite Mexican joint in davenport. Salsa is good, sometimes gotta wait for a new bowl but worth it. Portions are adequate, staff is usually friendly but food is always good.
(4)Christie H.
BEWARE* My entire family came down with food poisoning after eating here!! My husband had a "super burrito" with chicken, I had a vegetarian #1 and my son had shrimp tacos. We've eaten here before but recently I could taste something off. The service was off as well which is unexpected for this place. I will never be back after the 48 hours my family and I've endured.
(1)Amy W.
It's hard to decide which items in the menu to write about because there are so many and so many are delicious! If I have to pick a few top picks, the fajitas are the best fajitas anywhere I've eaten, the queso dip is delish and the cheese enchiladas are great! The chips and salsa is unique, tasty and unlimited. The only thing I didn't love was the guacamole - a little bland. But, with the salsa and queso, that's ok.
(5)Shayra A.
I wasn't all impress with the location; however, I was pleasantly surprise with the food. I have the steak and chicken quesadillas lunch special and it was yummy. The nachos and salsa were very good too. The service was meh... very average, nothing special. I actually found it to be very disorganized. When we got there and were waiting for a table the guy didn't seem to know where to place us. I looked around and there were a lot of tables available, but who know... After several minutes someone else just told us where to sit but he didn't take us to the table he just pointed the table at us and we were like OK, I guess that's the table. So it was kind of awkward but thankfully the meal made up for the mediocre service.

BEWARE- I usually love Azteca. Today however, our waiter (Juan) got in an argument with me over the fact that my Pepsi tasted like Cherry Pepsi. He did get me a new one, but I am convinced he laced it with his own URINE. He insisted I try it before he would leave the table & his evil smirk when I did was self-explanatory.
(1)John W.
Very good food and service. Had a very good, well proportioned lunch Fajita.
(4)Jami Jo H.
I always make sure to come here everytime I'm in the QC area. The food is delicious, cheap, and the staff is very prompt and friendly. I never have to ask for a refill of chips or soda. The chili relleno is amazing, and this is the only place I can find where its more like a dip than a bug stuffed pepper.
(5)Bradley T.
I went here and ordered Steak De La Casa, which says it's ribeye with "French Fried" and you know, I HAD to have it. LOL My wife had chicken fajitas, delicious, delectable. It came in a large heap. My wife ate it all, with no leftovers. My ribeye arrived and it was Very tasty, but it was the THINNEST cut imaginable; breakfast steak thin. I must say, though, it was the tastiest ribeye I have ever had. The topper on the evening was the musicians that travelled the joint serenading patrons, I walked out with a mile wide smile. We'll be returning.

Yummy Yummy. I moved out of Iowa about a year ago and the one place I miss is Azteca. The food is consistent and yummy. However, their customer service is not the greatest but, they truly make up for it in flavor!!
(4)Michelle K.
The food is awesome! Especially love the salsa. The service is great!
(5)Adam L.
Top 4 Mexican restaurants in the quad cities. Great food and drinks. Fast service. Some of the best salsa you'll ever taste. A lot of friendly location you can enjoy their food at anytime.
(5)Melissa S.
The food was authentic and very good! A little gem in a hole in the wall. Would definitely recommend!
(4)Jermain S.
Stupid good food! Every time I go back home I hit up Azteca at least twice! I like 53rd st location better.
(5)Chris E.
This is by far our favorite Mexican food in the QC area. As mentioned by Shaun T., the salsa here is one of the best things about this place. The food is always good, and consistent. My fiance and I aren't huge fans of 100% authentic Mexican food, and Azteca's food strikes a nice balance between Mexican and Americanized-Mexican style. The service has been great every time we've ever been there (which is a lot). They also have a location on 53rd St. (Azteca II) that is just as good.
(4)Andrea T.
One of my local fav places. Must order the white cheese dip with your chips, it's amazing.
(5)Ashley P.
5 stars for the number and variety of hot sauces on the table. I have never seen so many choices. Spice it up! My food selection wasn't very good, but everyone else's shrimp fajitas looked tastetastic. I was pretty jealous the entire time.
(3)Shaun T.
This is not hole-in-the wall Mexican food! They do have the long list of numbered combos, the obligatory margarita machine, and birthday serenades, but this place is a hidden gem. There's a reason it's always full during operating hours. Did I say full? I meant to say packed like a sardine tin! The scary part is that they just expanded to twice the capacity back in 2004, and yet pick any time of any day, and the restaurant will be at least half full. The food is above average, but the real hidden treasure here is the salsa. They are family owned and operated, and the cashier makes the salsa fresh every day. It's free along with the fresh (heated!) tortilla chips, and it has what I consider the perfect balance of cilantro, tomatoes, onions and garlic often determined our destination for dinner that night. I often threatened to stick a straw into the decanter they put on our table to pour into the smaller serving bowls, and so has every other person I've taken here. I've since moved to Chicago, and I've yet to meet a better, or even an equivalent salsa. That says something! If you're from a bigger city and just passing through the midwest on I-80, or you just moved to the area, do yourself a favor and go here at least once. It has a great leisurely atmosphere, and absolutely flawless (fastest ever!) service regardless of how busy they get. You won't be disappointed.
