COSTS & TIMES (as of 14 Feb 2008)
Lunch served M-Su 11a-3p and ranges from $5.50 to about $8.00

EXTRA STUFF
Happy hour is daily from 4p-6p.
Wednesday night is Margarita night.
Atmosphere: Not private, but has a trendy Mexican ambiance.
We went to Aztecas on Valentine's Day and it was the first time we'd ever been. We had previously passed it many times, always making a note to try it. One thing we thought was a good sign was that the parking lot was always packed. People just don't pack a bad restaurant, and evidently we were right.
We arrived fairly early for the dinner hour at about 6:00 p.m. It was already getting busy, as evidently we weren't the only ones trying to beat the rush. To our surprise, we were immediately seated even though they were in fact busy. However we weren't choosey either. I said any table anywhere and we got a decent enough table, but the place was cramped. The table though was clean and without sticky spots; I can't stand that.
Our waiter was attentive enough and not bad. It was busy, so I could accept that he was slow for refills. In fact, for as busy as it was, I was impressed at how good his service actually was. I would've expected it to have suffered a bit more.
The food was very good. I'm not going to say it's the best Mexican food I've ever had, but it certainly was delicious. The orders arrived quickly and were done properly. I ordered a fajita burrito, and had a choice of steak or chicken. Most places will let you get half and half (sometimes for a charge); but to my surprise they wouldn't. The server had no explanation as to why either. The steak was just a small bit chewy, so I'm not sure I'll get that one again. I also ordered a chile poblano on the side. It was quite spicy, which I liked, but it was a bit too greasy and that says a lot. I love greasy food. This though was a bit much.
The ladies bathroom contains closet stalls. Not those cheap metal stalls often found in malls, but the kind that lends complete privacy. Although that is always my preference, what I didn't like is that they only have two stalls and one was just YUCK, so I had to wait for a long time to go. There is nothing that turns me off more than to be faced with someone else's excrement when I'm out to eat. I also hate to have to stand in line. That's to be expected at a bar, but not a restaurant.
All in all I will definitely happily go there again. I'm sure the problems were only related to it being Valentine's Day, so it was hectic.

Worst service ever! After being seated we sat there for 15 minutes and were never approached by a waiter. Went to Manager and asked him who our waiter was he actually didn't know! Finally got waited on by a mannerless kid with no personality or social skills, and no apology BTW. As for the food, you would think it would be hard to screw up shrimp fajitas, but they succeeded. They were covered in an icky sugary sauce that tasted like candy...shrimp candy that is. Overall terrible experience, food, and the staff is as dumb as a stump! If nothing else, you should stop by there just to verify that fact alone. Never going back!

We usually go to San Miguel, but decided we should try some other Mexican food spots through out Mobile. I will tell you this much, we won't be back to this location. The food was ordinary and our service was poor. We also felt closed in due to the low, black ceiling and the large number of tables squeezed into small spaces. It didn't help that it was prom or something, and there where kids everywhere. Overall bad experience.
