No. The Aztecs were a society that built cities; the biggest of such cities was Tenochtitlan, with 200,000 inhabitants in the early 16th century. Besides, Aztecs had a complex government that is reminiscent of medieval empires.

Therefore, the Aztecs weren't a tribe but an empire that spanned most of central Mexico.
