Lunch should give you a real pause in the middle of the day. But choosing where and what to eat can become another decision on an already busy schedule.
The easiest approach is to start with what you need from the meal. Are you looking for something familiar, something filling or a dish that takes you beyond your usual lunch order?
Plaza Azteca offers weekday lunch specials Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM, with choices ranging from enchiladas and tacos to steak, chicken, ribs and seafood.
Start With Your Appetite
A good lunch choice is not the same for every day.
When You Want a Familiar Favorite
Tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas are straightforward choices when you already know what sounds good. Combination plates can also provide more than one flavor without requiring a long decision.
Current lunch choices include the Ground Beef Taco Platter, Pork Enchiladas, Chicken Quesadilla Platter, Azteca Platter and Moctezuma Platter.
When You Want a Heartier Lunch
Some days call for something more substantial. Bistec Encebollado combines grilled sirloin steak with sautéed onions, rice and beans. The lunch menu also includes Baby Back Ribs and Fries.
These dishes can be a better fit when lunch is your main break before a long afternoon.
When You Want Something Different
Lunch does not always have to mean ordering the same sandwich or salad. Plaza Azteca’s current menu includes options such as Plato Típico, Tilapia con Salsa Criolla, Salmon a la Crema and Trucha Arcoíris.
The variety makes it possible to change your lunch without changing restaurants every week.
Think About the Experience You Need
A weekday lunch can serve different purposes. It might be:
- A quiet break from work
- A meal with a colleague
- A casual business conversation
- A chance to try a new dish
- A convenient meal before continuing errands
Knowing the purpose helps narrow the menu. A familiar platter may suit a short break, while a more leisurely lunch gives you room to explore something different.
Check the Current Menu Before You Go

A better lunch does not have to be complicated. Start with your appetite, choose the experience you need and give yourself time to enjoy it.
