It was decent. I enjoyed the cheese dip alot, down fall you can taste canned tomatoes in the salsa.

As you can see from the photo that is not enchiladas with beans, rice and sauce its quesadillas. I disputed the order with Doordash and got only 8 dollars back from my 30 dollar order. Very unhappy with this company. If you do eat there make sure its in person so you can verify the order.

I come here normally and truly like this spot, the food is in every case new and arranged when you request. Indeed, even the chips are hand crafted and delicious. I additionally love they have a major play zone for kids. That makes dinners so natural when having children. Havent attempted the bar yet trust I will one day!

This was one of the best ceviches Ive ever had, hands down. Superist fresh basic palate with a spicy kick was a sweet surprise but the the miniature avocado softening the song made it perfect. Normally seafood would be raw and fresh, but they inserted a lightly cooked shrimp to just delight during these times. Yay!

Yummy yummy food. Packed with flavor. We had burritos and fajitas and nothing disappointed. Margarita was also delicious and at a great value due to happy hour (on a weekend even!).

I come here regularly and really like this place, the food is always fresh and prepared when you order. Even the chips are homemade and very tasty. I also love they have a big play area for children. That makes meals so easy when having kids. Havent tried the bar yet but hope I will one day!

1- Grilled chicken taco for $4.50?!?!?, small taco like street taco. $5.00 rice, small portion!!! Too expensive to order from them but taste good. Rip off I’m not coming back.

I went here to celebrate my birthday. Service was a little slow but food and waiter made ip for it. I would recommend the Blood Orange margaritas. We had the fajitas and enchiladas. The food was so good. The only thing I would say is the fajitas did not come on a sizzling plate and we are used to them coming with sour cream and guac and it didnt come with those but the tortillas were to die for. I would highly recommend you stop by and give them a try.

Good place for inexpensive staples. Between the burger, the nachos, and the shrimp burrito the shrimp burrito was my favorite.

A diverse group of people that just come to learn and dance. Salsa nights here are full of energy and laughter. The bartenders are nice and make a great Margarita and can we talk about the Chile Verde Nachos One of the main reasons I go

I mainly come here to dance. This is one of the top places to dance salsa in Portland. They also offer mexican dishes and great margaritas. Check out their website for all of their monthly parties.

Oh my goodness. This is the number one place for latin dancing in the portland metro area in my opinion!!! Great staff! Fun people! Good food too!! The nachos are excelent and the fish tacos are also yummy!! I cant wait to go back!

Ordered a $16 enchilada on door dash and got my enchilada with no sauce. Just a dry tortilla with chicken inside. It was also cold and looks like they used a very old to go box. I wouldn’t eat here again.

I ordered a super veggie burrito which was already overpriced and it came with nothing but rice beans and cheese then proceeded to have meat in it. Only thing super about this burrito is that it was super bad.

I ordered a $10 quesadilla and it was awful, no flavor whatsoever and somehow soggy. Don Pedros has better food and its a fast food establishment, hell Id rather have a quesadilla from taco bell than order one here again. Only reason review isnt one star is because their horchata was decent.

Review №41

It’s such a fun place to go with friends on weekends! They usually have events going on throughout the month, but you can always count on great dancing music. In my experience, Saturday nights are the best nights to go given that they play a ton of Salsa. The food’s on point too.

Great food and drinks. Food portions are huge so probably best to split meals and save some money.

Review №43

One of the most comfortable places to eat. With a delicious Mexican themed menu and convenient location in the lloyd district Aztec Willies is one of our family favorites. They have a great late night menu with discounts and regularly offer music, dancing and dancing lessons on any given day. Its hard to find a similarly enjoyable, interactive, and inclusive restaurant. Great place to eat.

Very overpriced and not good burrito. $14 for a veggie burrito that didnt even come with chips and salsa. Do NOT recommend.

We went here for our monthly work lunch for my department. Our lunch is only an hour & a half - we were able to walk the few blocks to get there, sit down, order for 12 people, eat, leave and walk all the way back with plenty of time to spare. Really good food, portions for the price and great service

It was very crowded and extremely humid and hot. Not a place for the claustrophobic. I had to excuse myself several times. I hear the food I great. The menu looked good and reasonably priced.

Met some friends there before a Winterhawks game. Parking is tough in that area. Waitress was great and worked her tail off, but the food was not that good. Had some of their happy hour bites, the fish tacos were not good, I would not reccomend those if you go.

Review №55

Came in two hours before they closed and ordered fajitas and a steak burrito. They had already turned off the grill and couldnt make these dishes. The only meats we could chose from looked like theyd been sitting on the Chipotle-style buffet warmers for hours. We opted to go to Matador instead for fresh food.

The best chicken mole burrito in PDX. I cant get enough.

Review №58

Their food is good and the salsa is some of my favorite in Portland. However, they really need to be more consistent with whether customers are supposed to order at the counter or at the table. They have attempted to make it so that at lunch you order at the counter and at dinner, the table. But this is NOT consistent, in addition to being annoying. My husband and I went in last night at 6:30. They still had their lunch signs up, and even though it’s obviously not lunch, we went to the counter to confirm where we should order. The man behind the counter said to order at the table. So we made our way to an outside table to wait for the server. When we hadn’t been approached after 10 minutes, even though they KNEW we were here, my husband went inside to check. In frustration, I went in as well and saw a line of people (4-5 deep) ordering. Needless to say, we took our business elsewhere and in the future, will really consider whether or not their salsa is worth their terrible service.

Review №59

Colombian/Cuban night.Food is OK more bad than good. Music during latin nights is really old. They need a better DJ that doesnt play the same songs every weekend. Colombian night is fun for 1 or 2 hours but then the music selection becomes boring and antiquated. I hate it when they play a billion bachata songs then 1 reggaeton song, then a billion salsa songs in a loop. Theres no variation whatsoever in the music set lists.You can get away with not paying a cover if you arrive before 9, but then you have to dreadfully wait for the restaurant to turn into a night club and suffer through the eternal salsa lessons for people who cant dance. If you want to arrive when the mood is in a different state, get there by 10 or 11, but then you have to pay cover and pay for expensive drinks.

The DJ wasnt the best at mixing the music, but the overall atmosphere was great. Plenty of space to move around (if youre small like me), and plenty of differently paced songs to dance to.

I would give this place a -5 stars if I could. This place was so horrible. The food taste like they made it earlier in the morning and warm it up in a microwave. The side of beans and rice with the meal was for a child. Nasty food! Would NEVER eat here again.Now lets get to the bar side...So we order a Margarita. The Bartender... I dont know what he was doing! Looked like he was just taken different kind of alcohol and mixing it together. I took one sip, and told him it was not good at all. I told him I want a regular blended Margarita. He act like he didnt know what I was talking about. We did get our money back for our drinks.One thing I can say about this place is that it was clean.

Ive got to hand it to the staff of this place. They are incredibly friendly!! I also find their prices to be incredibly reasonable, especially during happy hour. Sometimes I just want a no frills burrito or taco and this places fits the bill.

This place is amazing if you have kids. Well even if you don’t have kids it’s great too. The food is fantastic and they have a great family atmosphere. In the corner they have a kids play place where you can watch your kids while they play from many of the tables. We will be back again soon!

Such a nice place to dance, ear yummy food, and have a drink. I was here last weekend with some friends and we had a great time. They offer a salsa,bachata class before they open the dance floor. We danced all night and all the guys where very respectful.

Review №90

Bar staff deserves a 5, always friendly and smiling. Coming from Los Angeles I love a good burrito and this place has one of the best in the area hands down. I have to dock this place because they took away their Happy Hour special on food after 1030pm. I used to be a regular there at least once if not twice a week but with the burritos being $13 now, Ill pass. They are good but for a place I need to stand in a line to order my food then go find a table its one notch above fast food. I understand quality but still not worth more than $8-$9.Been back since the review and they honored the deal! This was my only problem with the place. Not sure what happen the couple times I went in before...

Review №93

Too expensive for what you get. The taste and ingredients are not properly reflected in their price. It tastes fine, just nothing spectacular and $15 for a burrito and a pop is robbery. Theres soooooo many other Mexican places better than this within a 10 block range. Never had an issue with the staff or service. Never been here for dancing either.

Pricing is moderate, but I was able to get my carne cooked to my liking. The lovely server at the counter was friendly and helpful! The ingredients are so fresh! I also had the horchata ... it is a little spendy, but they make it from scratch instead of a mix, so the flavor and texture is sooo good and it was delicious! I would totally come back

Review №96

The food here is flavorful and the atmosphere is chill. Had a couple mole enchiladas with extra pico de gallo in the rice. Even the pico is good here.And then, apparently, on Fridays they have a dance lesson at 9:30-10:00ish and the place turns into a club (Bachata on this Friday). Makes for an excellent evening. I WILL be back.

Review №98

Good food. Nothing fancy or exceptional. Just good Mexican food. But $42 for 8 bite sized mini soft tacos without any side dishes? I get the exacts same tacos with the exact same quality, taste, & presentation for $12.50 at various food carts around town. Highly disappointing Aztec Willies is over charging people to this extent for just some simple tacos.

Good food, good drinks, good service, and great dancing and live events. A tad on the spendy side however. Would still recommend.

They never get my order right, even though I detail exactly what Im looking for. Also, their `ribeye´ burrito is definitely not ribeye, and the food (while passable) is not that great. Been here 4 times, probably not going back again.
