The Riverstone Shopping Center has seen plenty of changes since its creation, but one thing has remained constant - Azteca Southwest Grill. “When we came in, it was Starbucks, the movie theater, a barbecue place and us,” recalls manager Wes LeDoux. LeDoux helped open the doors in August of 2007 and hasn’t had any reason to move on since. “You can’t find better people to work for. We’ve really become family. I’ve changed their kids’ diapers and they’ve changed my kids too.”
Wes is referring to Carla Barajas and her husband Kiko who own three other restaurants in the area. “We have several staff members who are still with us from opening day and that’s huge for us,” said Barajas. The owners take great pride in creating a fun, casual environment even so much that they traveled to Mexico to purchase all of the décor you see on the walls.
The restaurant is open and inviting, which is exactly what they had in mind when creating the space from the ground up. “We want this place to be tastefully casual,” said LeDoux, “Come into a casual environment and enjoy some top notch food.”
All of the meals at Azteca Southwest Grill are made from scratch. LeDoux says their signature Southwest Enchiladas are the perfect example of this. “The enchilada sauce is something you won’t be able to get at any other Mexican restaurant anywhere, and it pairs great with both chicken and beef.”
If you’re coming by just for a quick bite or drink before or after a movie, it’s a perfect place to stop. Appetizers are filling and flavorful, and there are 50 different tequilas from which to choose. Cocktails are also made from scratch as is the house made margarita mix. There are plenty of beers to choose from in the bottle or on tap as well. Happy hour runs from 3pm-6pm and 8pm-close seven days a week and all day Sunday and Monday. There is a private dining room that can seat up to 40 people for parties, meetings, or other special occasions. The kitchen can also cater to any group evidenced by a recent trip to the rail yard where they provided nearly 2,500 plates of food.
Community is also extremely important to Azteca as they support Big Brothers Big Sisters, Post Falls Food Bank, The Humane Society, Disabled American Veterans, and multiple auctions benefiting local schools.
You can find Azteca Southwest Grill in the Riverstone Shopping Center adjacent to Regal Cinemas. They are open at 11am seven days a week.
