The place always seems to have business so I figured it was pretty good and wanted to try it out. My family and I went on a Friday night recently at about 6:30. The decor was nice, looked clean (even clean highchairs!) plus they have different menu options from your basic Mexican restaurant. From the time we arrived, got a seat and got our food FINALLY it was about an hour! We asked repeatedly where our appetizer was and they finally brought it about 2 minutes before our dinner came. The chorizo dip was basically melted white Velveeta cheese and some meat chunks. The chips all seemed nearly stale which I’ve never experienced at a Mexican restaurant before. I got a mango margarita and it was not a blended with ice like I’ve ever had/seen and was very thick and sweet and for some reason gave me a stomach ache halfway through and I had to stop drinking it. I cannot eat flour tortillas and asked for corn and my husband wanted extra flour ones. We each got about 3 little flour tortillas for our fajita. I gave him mine and then asked multiple people for corn tortillas and waited and waited. By the time I got them everyone else was done eating. A sweet teenage boy working (there not in uniform) got us more salsa to go with our food and chips and probably the most capable worker I experienced. There was a woman who worked there that occasionally would bring a bag of to-go food to the front but mostly just stood and stared at people. For the remaining second half of our almost 2 HOUR dinner, possibly more, they were cleaning something and all you could smell and taste was industrial smelling cleaner. It was awful. Good it’s clean but that’s really not appropriate. I had to stop eating due to the smell. I have eaten so many things including from different cultures and never had a problem previously but every time I ate leftovers from here it upset my stomach and I’m not sure why. Paid too much not to bring leftovers home and I don’t believe in food waste. Rice and beans were basic and fajita was decent although I got a mouthful of onion outer layer skin in them and thought it was plastic until further inspection.

Apparently this is the best place in Lawrenceburg to eat! Parking lot was packed with an hour wait (we had a group of 15 though) so we went somewhere else. Everyone inside was very pleasant and we will definitely be going back to stay and eat.

Visited El Azteca for dinner while lodging at the motel across the street. Three of us had the fajitas meal and wow it was incredible — huge, savory, sizzling hot (temperature wise) and absolutely delicious. Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had, and I’ve had a lot. Plus, we really liked the colorful ambiance and cheerful staff. They had live entertainment with a duo that was never too loud, just right, and a nice if somewhat cramped bar with a couple of TVs. Offering an overall great experience and jaw-droppingly good food, It’s no wonder El Azteca was packed.

Food was excellent we enjoyed it. However, our service was not good took a while to get drinks then once the food came out we were missing a plate it did eventually come. Server didn’t check on the drinks or come for a refill for a while and once I saw I had to flag him down cuz I was about to go my self n refill then at the end we never got a check we had to ask another server if we could get a box to go and we got the check at the front after telling them what all we ordered the food saved this place

The food was good but on the almost to salty. Husband got taco salad with chicken. Chicken was flavorful and tender, which other similar restaurants in the area can’t seem to do, more like chicken jerky at other places. I had a taco with bean dip. That being said, there was almost no beans, mainly cheese sauce, which was very salty.
