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.

Stupid good food! Every time I go back home I hit up Azteca at least twice! I like 53rd st location better.

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!

A casual, sit-down dining experience. We were famished when we came here. The chips and white cheesy dip they put out for free while we were waiting were amazing. Unlike another reviewer, I did not see a Mariachi Band moving around- maybe those are only on the weekend? But I got a good meal for $12.
Nice view of the sunset outside of the window. -

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!!

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

DELICIOUS! Since recently moving to the QC area, my fiance and I have tried several Mexican restaurants and Azteca is by far the best! Their salsa is superb and the service has always been top notch. They have a large menu with something for everyone... whether you're looking for more Americanized dishes or something that's more authentic, you're sure to find something you like at Azteca. Our favorite is the Enchiladas Mexicanas - yummy!
Oh... and their margaritas aren't half bad either! ;)
