Manager was very very hospitable and treated us like family/friends. Had a later date near close time and they said not to even worry about it and we were welcome to stay as late as we'd like. Very friendly, excellent food. Classic Azteca

Staff: the waiter we had was great. We never had to ask for drink refills. They accommodated seating for 4 adults and 6 kids. Building: building was clean. Bathrooms were clean. Food: food was good. Portion sizes were good for their prices. If this review helped, please boost me as a local guide by hiring the thumbs up and giving me a follow.

Azteca 3 is under new management and has been freshly painted and revamped. The waiters are very efficient and friendly. The food was delicious and there was nothing to complain about. Great food for a fair price!

Azteca has good flavor. The chips n salsa and beans n rice were really good. I had a combo of enchiladas and a taco. I couldn't eat it all, but I almost did. The staff was nice and the atmosphere was good. We took our time and just enjoyed sitting down and eating out.

If AUTHENTIC mexican is what you want, there is NO PLACE better in the Quad Cities than Azteca 3. This restaurant is run by the original family that started the restaurant and built on mexican roots. The food and service is UNMATHCED. Just look at these photos. You can't find these sizes of meals, at this price and this level of mexican authenticity anywhere in the QC's. I haven't had a single bad dish here. I've had the opportunity to meet the entire team including head chef - fantastic people. The food really is as good as it looks. Definitely try the AZTECA 3 EXCLUSIVES - dishes designed and sold only by the Azteca 3 location!
