Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant
Category:
Mexican
Like I said in my Jessy's Taqueria review, I am not a big fan of Mexican food. Well, I wasn't at least...but as of late, I've been eating a lot of it! Plaza Azteca is a very popular place to go in the 757. It's fairly priced and it's almost always quite lively. The food is pretty good too -- I def prefer Plaza Azteca over Guadalajara's.
My only complaint? Their service! The food comes out fast, but as far as ordering drinks/food, getting the check, etc... BLEH!
But I'll be back.. lol.

I was never a big fan of Mexican food, but I just hadn't found the right place to eat it!!!
My boyfriend (Chris C.) has been itching to go here because he LOVES finding local "hole-in-the wall" kind of places that Guy Fieri and Adam Richman visit.
Last week, we finally went -- and on a Friday (we're Catholic), so we weren't able to eat anything besides seafood -- and he had their fish tacos and I had their shrimp and fish ceviche tostadas. Luckily they had some left!
It was ah-freaking-mazing. So fresh, so tasty. Seasoned and flavored so well, I was shocked! I can't wait to go back when I can try their carne asada and what not!
RECOMMEND!
(And I totally loved that cute little tienda next door! I bought some candy to try.)

Bwahahaha, I enjoyed reading the other reviews for this place.
We went here for my mother's birthday because Filipinos are infamous for going to chinese buffets for such events.
You get soup, the "buffet", and cookies! Haha. For $10.50 - I don't know how that is NOT a great deal.
I liked it a lot! I've never been to a Mongolian joint, and I'll definitely be checking them out more often. It IS quick, casual, and not the most cozy/intimate place to eat, but the food is great. I tried everything.
My favorite part was the sauces. All of those sauces is what I use in all of my Asian recipes, so it was fantastic having them at my disposal. :)

I always get their Taro with a sh*tload of mochi. :)
And that's it. Yo Mama isn't the most lively place, but there's free WiFi! Haha.
Get in, then get out!

Awesome customer service! Woo!
I've been here a few times when it was Zinc, but I wasn't completely impressed. It felt so cold and almost dungeon-like. But Burton's Grill is definitely on point. Cozy, more seating, and much more lively!
We waited 30 minutes for our table (during Restaurant Week), which I was totally with, but they offered to "buy" us a few appetizers. Calamari, Firecracker Shrimp, & Sesame Crusted Tuna! Delish.
I had their Steak Au Poivre and their Lemon Sorbet. It was good, but nothing amazing.
I had their Festive Fizzle - Pama + Champagne?! Ahh, so yum.

So loud and festive! I absolutely loved it. Was here for a birthday dinner and it was the perfect setting for college reunions, catching up with old friends!
I ordered their Strawberry Champagne Mojito, half of their Nachos entree (it was HUGE), and their Tres Leches Cake. All of that for around $20? Um, yeah. Pretty awesome.
I'll definitely be back!

My *new* favorite sushi joint. I still love Soya, but Nana has so many choices to choose from and their sushi just melts in yo' mouf! MmMmmMm!
Fave roll: TIGER ROLL! :)

Okay, I wrote that like three weeks ago. Well, I went there this past weekend and they were packed. The same waiters always seem to be working and they are usually so nice.
They didn't even acknowledge us, the sushi chef "sat us." After 30 minutes of waiting, I asked the couple next to us how long they've been waiting and they finally put their order in after AN HOUR.
We decided to leave only because they never offered a menu or a drink. I would have waited for the yummy sushi but I am big on customer service.
I will be back though! Haha. I have a http://Restaurant.com coupon and hey, I'm not going to put that to waste! We're going to go back on Valentine's Day... on a Monday, when it's not so crowded.

Thanks to Groupon, me & my bf went out for a nice dinner here.
It was pretty busy for a Thursday night! But I liked it. I hate stuffy restaurants that I feel so awkward in. Happy Hour was happenin' and it was fun watching the drunkards. Haha.
We ordered their Korean "Steamed Buns" which were amazing. They were like tacos and were a perfect appetizer! The bf ordered their Pasta Sonoma while I had their Pork Loin Chop. Their Pork Loin Chop was just recently added to their dinner menu because it was a special they were running.
Well...
my pork was undercooked. That's the only reason this joint didn't get 5 stars. But everything else was amazing. The potatoes, the onion chutney, yummmm!
AND they had my moscato d'asti. ;D

First time trying it 2 months ago! Haven't had it since and I've been craving it every single week since! I had their soy garlic wings. We ordered a small basket, I believe, and it as perfect for me and my bf. I've heard all the stories of waiting and service, but for a Saturday - it wasn't bad at all. We've told friends/family about this place and they love it just as much.
Why do we love it? Um, flavor, crisp-factor, and the wings are HUGE! Great value! Haha. Next time, I'll order to-go and eat them at home with some rice! Mmmm.

Well, everyone here is so nice. I brought my dog along with me thinking I'd drop my car off. I live across the street so I was planning on walking back home. But they said it would only take 15 minutes so I waited. They love dogs so it was perfect.
The guys working on my car never once guilt trip me into paying for a service I needed to take care off but gave great advice. I'll definitely be back! Customer Service is fantastic!
