I used to rave about Azteca 3. Spent many birthdays there, many celebrations, many dining out nights. But it has gone drastically downhill. Prices have gone up and quality has gone down. Service is pretty much non-existent. It took 20 minutes to even have them take our drink order, they forgot about my cocktail, never refilled drinks, chips, anything. They dropped off our food and forgot an order of rice and beans. Before we could even mention it, they ran off and never came back to the table. The steak in the steak tacos was grisly, dry, and flavorless. The chicken tacos were dripping wet with broth and the shells disintegrated. Our kid didn't get ketchup for their fries, which they had asked for.We waited another 30 minutes after eating to get the bill. That's when we were finally able to tell them about the beans and rice. He asked if we wanted it now, we declined since we had already finished eating half an hour prior.My husband paid the bill and we left. The waiter came rushing out claiming we did not pay and were dining and dashing. My husband showed him our receipt and he still insisted. The cashier came out and pointed to a different car. He didn't apologize, just ran off after that car.I'm sad to say I'll never go back there. They were the best Azteca in town, and my favorite restaurant in the qc. But that just burned a bridge.
There are TWO things I absolutely LOVE here: 1) the margaritas, which are amazing, affordable, and generous, and 2) the Chori Pollo, which is a en entree with grilled chicken and chorizo. Service is always good, atmosphere is uplifting, and we never have to wait to get a table. The churro dessert is also pretty good!
Great food and nice staff. Service was fast and restaurant was clean. I would recommend it to friends
I had never eaten there before last night and it is by far the best food and best experience I've had at a restaurant. Our server was amazing from start to finish. 10/10 I highly recommend!
Chips and salsa ?were good. Their margaritas were in every size from small to monster & all flavors. ?lime, blue ,?,?& Piña Colada which were refreshing. Now their menu people, it had many pages of authenticity beyond ur normal menus with gr8 selection of seafood & meat choices. There ?meat was so juicy but not greasy I drank it up afters like soup.
I think it's decent food. Close to home so we will eat here every once in a while. Usually get California burrito and queso fundido. Spent about 45 for me, my wife and son. No drinks just waters.
First visit here. The food was good but had to wait fsr too long for my bill. All in all it's worth another visit
Wonderful atmosphere and wonderful food. Love taking my family here!
Terrible customer service. I ordered combo #8 for carry out, I was not told there was no rice and beans with this particular combo. I was on the phone with them for over 10 mins trying to clarify my order and they still did not explain it properly. They also hung up on me twice. Food quality was also not very good. Overall, I will not recommend this place or this location to any of my friends...
I've eaten Mexican food all over Mexico, in California, the American southwest and many of the fine local Mexican restaurants in the Quad Cities. I've taken a Mexican cooking class in Oaxaca. Without a doubt, the worst Mexican food experience I've ever had has been at Azteca 3 in Bettendorf. Where do I begin? Refried beans that taste like they came out of a can. Sickly looking, cold and stiff white flour tortillas used for the enchiladas. An enchilada sauce with the weirdest taste ever, and so hot it overpowered the taste of the filling. Enchilada filling that was a mushy mess that looked like it came out of a microwave. A side salad of old looking, all white iceberg lettuce that looked like it was scraped out of a dumpster. Look, there are plenty of really great Mexican restaurants in the Quad Cities like La Rancherita, El Patron, and Los Amigos. Do yourself a favor and give this place a pass. Your gut and taste buds will thank you for it.
