Plaza Azteca

Broken seat, mojito that was a glass full of ice with a trickle of mix and zero actual booze. My California tacos were dry, unseasoned and tasteless with no cabbage in them and an adorned, overcooked lump of rice as the only garnish. And let’s not forget the world’s worst waiter. His attitude bordered on aggressive and he barely paid attention to us then acted like we were pains in the derrière when he screwed up our orders. Two separate people at our table asked him for a dessert menu and he shrugged and brought us the check. Then when we didn’t get up and leave right away (maybe five minutes) he demanded that we leave. Can’t believe this place is in business with so many better options close by.

Great food, atmosphere and staff! However, must say I was a little disappointed with my margarita. But will be returning.

This place used to be one of our favorites, not anymore. We saw the bad reviews and didn’t want to believe them. Food wasn’t very good, and service even worse. It’s a shame they are letting it down.

I had high hopes for this restaurant after having been to a Plaza Azteca in Virginia and having an amazing meal. I ordered the same exact meal, Enchiladas Banderas. This time the food was absolutely disgusting, after taking a few bites I literally could not eat anymore. It was gross. I will never eat at Kennett Sq. Plaza Azteca again. Never again.

We were served a generous bowl of tortilla chips and salsa as soon as we were seated. I had the Chicken Fajita Salad and my wife ordered two Beef Enchiladas a la carte. We thought both were very good and the price reasonable. Our waiter was prompt and attentive. Similar to other restaurants in the chain.

Food was delicious! Service was terrible! Slower than any restaurant I’ve been to in a long time! To top it off, they would take a coupon that was just a few days expired… Yet our server brought a non expired coupon to my table to show me, but would not let me use it! Horrible customer service!!!

I wish I could say that I’ve EVER had a good experience here — but I have not. The food is nothing special, in fact, it’s reminiscent of the old chain Mexican restaurants. That said, if that’s what you LIKE — upgraded Taco Bell — then this is the place for you.
Though admittedly, I’ve only given the restaurant three opportunities to impress me… and by opportunities, I mean, I went of my own volition the first time — after that I was dragged in by others. So, in a nutshell:
Service: Appalling, each and every time.
Food: Uninspired; over-​priced what what it is
Drinks: I’ve had the margaritas and they’re very good… once you get it, of course.
And finally, that «table-​side guacamole» everyone is raving about? Um, if you’ve experienced much Mexican food, you’ll find it average. Personally, I find the constant BANGING IN MY EARS from its mediocre creation, incredibly annoying. It’s impossible to have a conversation while a waiter is making THAT MUCH RACKET! Honestly, that’s the reason I’ll never, ever be pulled in for a fourth visit.
If you have kids — go. No one will hear the chaos at your table over the din.

We have been going here for three years now on a weekly basis and it is consistently good every time! Tried almost everything on the menu and haven’t had anything bad yet.
Patron margaritas are the best! Chips and salsa are never ending! Never too crowded and always seated quickly. Friendly staff remembers us ;)
Update: place is going downhill now. :(.

The food is ok. I very well know authentic Mexican food (I am Mexican) and this is almost imitation-​like. I’m not trying to bash them, but I’ve had better. The service is subpar; especially on a busy weekend. I may try to go on a week day to try it out again. Overall it’s all right.

This is the place to go to for Mexican food. My gf and mom go crazy over their huge margaritas. (They have a smaller size incase you gotta drive home) The chips and salsa they bring out first for you are pretty good. Little spicy, but just enough. Azteca is also a chain. (Mostly in the northeast) Foods fast and awesome. I go wild over this place.

Food was ok and waitress was good too. Only complaint is that manager and some other waiter were talking about us and didn’t seem to care! Very rude! I put in a complaint and never got a response back! I will never go there again!

01/​10/​2015 around 8:30pm When we walked in we were greeted by a very nice young lady, a gentleman approached her to see where she was sitting her, it seemed like it was an issue going on and after some discussion we were seated at a booth, that same Gentleman turned out to be our waiter, he brought us chips and Salsa, well about two table spoon of Salsa and then said I will bring you more in a minute (that never happened) he asked if we wanted something to drink? so I ordered an Ice Tea since I felt like I was being rushed.
When he brought the drinks, he asked if we wanted and appetizer? we asked for a few minutes, a minute later he is back asking if we wanted to order? I asked if they were closing early? he said no, I was hoping he would understand he was rushing us.
We ordered an appetizer and our meals and I figured I might as well get a beer or this old man is really going to get the best of me.
Throughout the meal he kept rushing us and asking if he could take our plates, I finally told him I wanted to finish eating first.
The food was Good for the prize, but it could have been a lot better, the beer came in a huge mug and it could have been colder, the fresh Guacamole was pretty Good, they make it in front of you and you get to tell them what you want in it, however, he made more noise with the two spoons he was using than a chef at a Hibachis, come on its a soft avocado.
It seems like all the other servers were being nice and friendly to their customers.
I tried to get the managers attention but he was busy talking with one of the waiter’s and had no interest making sure the customers were being well served.
As we were leaving, the manager was again talking to the same guy but on the other side of the restaurant, I was looking straight at him for a bit as I stood by the register and he pretty much ignored me.
So, if you go, avoid the short skinny waiter in his late 40s

If you are in a rush go here. They bring out the food extremely fast and have a well staffed kitchen. The food is ok for Mexican food but with all the places to choose from in the area there is better food around.
The margaritas are more on the orange flavored side, which is good but they are more expensive than some other places.

Upon sitting we were served chips and salsa (it’s goooood) and given ample time to order.
I started with my beverage of choice, Sangria. The glass was HUGE and did not disappoint so I obviously recommend.
I heart table side Guac! It is a must for me whenever I visit a venue that has this available :)
Be prepared to tip the server who prepares the guacamole as the big metal cart comes equipped with a tip jar (we were not prepared!) lol
If I get the hankering for Mexican and I’m in the area I would def visit this place again :)

Is always good and quick. We often run into friends here and eat together. Group and kid friendly. Prices are reasonable and food quality is good. Table side guacamole is big and delicious.

You’d never believe it’s a strip mall Mexican place. Food is authentic and staff is great.
I’ve only ever had the cheese enchiladas here but everyone I’m with has also enjoyed their meal.
The margaritas are decent and cheap. Word to the wise go with the large.
Also spring for the guacamole. It’s made table side and is fresh and good.

Ordered the enchiladas banderas. This comes with a chicken, beef, and cheese enchiladas with three different sauces. The red sauce over beef didn’t taste very good. The white sauce over the cheese was the best. The green sauce over chicken was good for about half the enchilada, but then the after taste halfway through changed my thoughts. The waiter I had barely spoke English, but that wasn’t surprising for a Mexican restaurant. Overall the atmosphere was decent and food was decent. Nothing to brag about though.

I went here on ⁶⁄₆ for dinner with my mother, and we were immediately seated. It started to get more crowded as our meal went on, but it wasn’t insanely loud/​the wait staff wasn’t running around. The only time we were kept waiting was when we were trying to get our bill – other than that the service was great.
An amazing feature that their menu has is a combo meal for $ 9.99. It’s great because it typically has three different items that you can try – I loved it because I got to try a bit of three different things – though some had two options. I got the #15 combo which consisted of a chicken quesadilla, a beef and cheese tostada, and taco. All three were fantastic, but I will say that the tostada was to die for – the cheese melted on top was delicious. My mom got the #7 combo consisting of an enchilada, chile relleno, and rice and beans. I tried some of the rice and it had the perfect amount of seasoning. She also loved the chile relleno because the seeds are removed which makes it less spicy and much more enjoyable.
We both got drinks – I got a specialty drink that I can’t remember the name of (something with a sunset) and she got a margarita, and both were amazing. The drinks were a bit pricey though, especially considering we got big meals for $ 9.99 each – I believe the drinks were only about $ 1 cheaper. While specialty drinks are always more expensive, it was a bit glaring with the meal price.

Kennett Square is the mushroom capital of the world so of course that’s where you would go for a great inexpensive Mexican meal, right? In this case yes. Kennett Square is also the home of Logwood Gardens so if you are headed out there for that amazing experience these folks are about three minutes away.
So now let’s talk about finding them. On Route 1 South there is an Applebee’s in Kennett Square. The trick is to turn in there and they are hidden in a little plaza just behind them. Parking is a breeze.
This was my first visit here but I’m very familiar with them as they are a small chain. I’ve been to their location in Plymouth Meeting many many times. I knew what to expect and was not disappointed.
If you are a carnivore the Burrito San Jose is the choice for you. It’s a huge tortilla stuffed with chicken and chorizo sausage in addition to rice and beans. It’s topped with a cheese sauce and pico de gallo. I’ve had it before, it was still delicious, and I was stuffed. I washed this down with two, that’s right two, 22 oz. Modelo drafts in frosty mugs. Now for the punch line; my bill was $ 15 and change! It doesn’t get much better than that.
I was watching the staff carefully as the served other customers. This location has been open about three months and it appears they have worked out all the kinks. The food was coming out fast and the staff was friendly and efficient. You may encounter little bit of a language barrier when dealing your waiter or waitress but it will be minor.
So these guys are a chain but a very good one. If you are looking for a delicious Americanized Mexican meal without breaking the bank you’re in the right place.

Great to see a small business doing well in the community. This family run authentic Mexicanplace is the latest edition to the burgeoning Kennett food scene. Don’t believe that there is a restaurant scene in sleepy little Kennett? Explain Lily, La Verona and Byrsa Bistro as new entires added to existing haunts like Portabellas, Talulas, Savona and the Half Moon. Trust me you may have to remove the sleepy from sleepy Kennett Square if you havent already. In any case back to the matter at hand.
The best thing about this restaurant, funnily enough, is the food. The pricing is great and the quality wonderful. They have a liquor license and seem to do some great bar biz. The service is still figuring itself out. It’s gonna get better but you just have to give them time to hum. We went on a recent Saturday night and it was a hot mess. The hostess is telling everyone 25 and it’s taking 40 and she’s not adjusting. The wait staff is so busy they can’t get checks to tables to turn them fast enough. They will figure all this out. The basis of the place, the food, is great. The entrees are flavorful and filling without being too big. Everyone was thrilled including my reason for living and my two little angels.
Take the time to give these folks your business. You will love it.
