Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant

If you’re searching for a vibrant, high-energy spot that delivers a “shortcut to Mexico” right in the heart of Gloucester Township, Plaza Azteca in Sicklerville is the place to be. Located in the bustling Shoppes at Cross Keys, this venue has been a local favorite since its highly anticipated grand opening in June 2015. It strikes the perfect balance between a family-friendly eatery and a spirited social hub, known for its colorful decor, custom lighting, and an atmosphere that feels like a perpetual fiesta.

The history of Plaza Azteca is rooted in its growth from a small family-owned operation in Virginia to a beloved East Coast chain. The Sicklerville location was one of the first to bring their signature “modern-authentic” approach to South Jersey, setting a high bar for Mexican dining in the area with its focus on fresh ingredients and visually stunning presentation.

Features & Highlights

The undisputed star of the show at Plaza Azteca is the Tableside Guacamole. A dedicated staff member wheels a custom cart to your table and prepares the dip exactly to your liking—loading up on cilantro, lime, and jalapeños (or keeping it mild) right before your eyes. It’s an interactive experience that has become a mandatory part of the visit for regulars.

The menu is extensive, moving beyond basic tacos to offer unique specialties like the Pina Loka (a grilled pineapple stuffed with steak, chicken, shrimp, and cheese sauce) and Birria Ramen. For the traditionalists, their Sizzling Fajitas and Enchiladas are consistent crowd-pleasers.

The Full Bar and Lounge is a major draw for the happy hour and late-night crowd. They are famous for their Jumbo Margaritas and “Virgin Flights,” which come artfully decorated with fruit and candy. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, celebrating a birthday, or catching a game at the bar, Plaza Azteca provides a warm, lively environment that captures the true spirit of Mexican hospitality.
