Sadly, the integrity of Goles y Frijoles may have been partially compromised on this one. First of all, Azteca is a chain restaurant, albeit with only of two other locations in Charlotte and (possibly) one in Gastonia. Second, I was forced to eat there for dinner instead of lunch due to a midday tee time. (Thanks for nothing, Dad. Except paying for golf. Thanks for that.) Finally, I will admit to having eaten at this very Azteca before, though it was probably as far back as high school.
All that aside, Azteca is pretty much what you’d expect from a large Mexican restaurant successful enough able to support four locations. The menu is extensive, if not particularly interesting. The service is impeccable; the chips and salsa got to the table before my friend John and I even sat down. The two classic entrees we ordered, steak fajitas and enchiladas verdes, were in no way disappointing or at all different from what we imagined they would be.
To Azteca’s credit, the large waitstaff was looking particularly dapper, decked out in matching Mexico jerseys. When I inquired of a passing waitress about the result of the day’s game, she matter-of-factly stated, “Two…Mexico. Zero…France,” which has to be the most convoluted and comical way a sports score has ever been stated. Oh, Azteca, you’ll find some personality yet.
The Score: You already know what it is.
