For nearly 50 years, Azteca has been a staple in the Kennewick community. It is known for its vibrant atmosphere and mouthwatering menu, which includes burritos and enchiladas as well as the popular Ramosrita Margaritas. Families have flocked to Azteca for years for its great food and its welcoming environment, complete with a “Little Amigo” menu designed with kids in mind.

In a recent update on their Google business profile, the Kennewick location reassured customers that while the 10th Avenue restaurant is closed, they can still enjoy Azteca’s offerings at the restaurant located at 6505 W Canal Drive in Kennewick. This alternative location is open from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and until 11:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.

The abrupt closure of the 10th Avenue location generated a wave of nostalgia among patrons, many of whom shared their fond memories of family celebrations and gatherings at the restaurant. Azteca has built a reputation for serving excellent food and creating a strong sense of community through charitable efforts and family-oriented events.
