Charming and efficient service. We ordered the set “Experience” menu to save time. It was all delicious but the crusted chicken was a little dry. The room we were in was very cold but staff responded to our complaint and heating improved. The restaurant is stunningly decorated from floor to ceiling! The music was very loud 70s disco, so great for a party meal, not for a romantic evening.

Absolutely incredible dining experience at Azteca. Welcomed by the super friendly staff the minute we arrived, and seated in a timely and efficient fashion. The food was outstanding, and probably the best Mexican-Japanese fusion cuisine I have ever tasted! Particular recommendations for the Octopus cervice and the spicy margaritas. We cannot wait to go back and taste some more of their ridiculously tasty menu. 5 stars all day long!!
