I was a little worried when I walked in and saw the majority of customers were Caucasian and older. That usually means Mexican food out of a jar! Lol! Not the case here! The food was delicious! The tomatillo sauce was very, very good!! The enchilada sauce was one of the best flavors I have ever tasted! Staff was quick, attentive and friendly! The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the refried beans had an odd taste, like maybe old lard was used. But everything else was EXCELLENT! read more

Had my baby shower brunch here with my co worker and everything was excellent I order the chicken guacamole sandwich and it was delicious so we're the onion rings , my other co workers order different stuff and they loved it and salads were very large just hint 2 people can easily eat and still have left over . Totally recommend read more

Randomly decided to stop here over the weekend and it was the best choice we made! Chilaquiles was so yummy and I loved that although a breakfast place, they still included a chips and salsa bar. Everyone else around us had dishes that looked great too. Fast and friendly service - we will definitely be back! read more

Early dinner, 1/2lb Bacon cheeseburgers. Great burger, nice beefy flavor fresh produce thick chewy bacon. Killer onion rings, maybe the best. Very good curly fries. Great service, not too little or too much read more

Came here for happy hour with a bunch of friends. Amazing service and amazing food! Will be back for more

Nice place, friendly people. We sat there for over 1 hour with no food. About 45 minutes in we got an excuse that the printers in the kitchen broke and that our food would be up any minute. 20 minutes later we left. I won't be back read more

I love cooking and I considered myself a good cook, but sometimes I want to be lazy and have someone else do the cooking for me, and the only place i will trust is Cantina Azteca! They have the best caldo de res(beef soup) with lots of vegetable, menudo, Yuuuum) actually all the food there is very tasty and well season, I like the new place better because of the fresh juices my family as been a loyal customer for a couple of year now, thank you Rey Azteca now Cantina Azteca keep up the good work read more

The service here was amazing! Came here for breakfast with my dad and I was very impressed. Even the coffee was great. I'd highly recommend. :) read more

Delicious meals, they had lots of vegan options and delicious drinks. Our server Rosy was great and very attentive to our needs. She made great drink recommendations (the blueberry mojito was delicious, not too strong or sweet) Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the vegetarian options. read more

Traveling through Sacramento and stopped in for dinner with the beautiful, charismatic Kayla and the wonderfully fun Shane! We sat at the bar, our first time and hopefully not our last! (Wish we lived closer) The food was fantastic and so were the Margaritas. Thank you for an exceptional dining experience! read more

Maira was our server and the service was excellent! We love coming here on Friday's to experience the live Mariachi band. The music, atmosphere, service and food are beyond compare! 12/10 recommend! read more

Went on a Friday evening. Mariachis were on! It was my nephews bday and they came around and sang to him. Food was good. Rosey our waitress was excellent. She was polite, attentive and patient with our big family. Will definitely come back and look for her. read more

First time trying the restaurant. Rosy our waitress made us feel like we belong there! I think we do, we loved the food, the salsa. I had the Wet Burrito it was fantastic, my wife had Judo Tacos, the best. Rosy thanks so much, we'll be back to try other entries from the menu. read more

I ordered a grilled cheese and side order of tuna for pick up.. I order it that way because, I don't like warm tuna. Pretty simple right? Well apparently it wasn't very simple to them, because they gave me a grilled cheese with a side order of grilled tuna.. I would've sent it back if I was dining in, but I was already home and didn't want the hassle. read more

Delicious food. Great service! Rosy was fantastic! Highly recommend the blackberry margarita.

Staff was super friendly and attentive! The Detox juice was fresh and and tasty! The Green Chile breakfast was authentic and made just right! Can't wait to return! read more

See all

We have eaten here 4 times, and every time has been great! Just went to Breakfast yesterday, John seated us, and we were attentively helped by at least three servers. First they kept my huge mug of coffee full and hot. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs, that was excellent, the gravy is very flavorful, the eggs cooked perfectly, and the country fried potatoes were moist and piping hot. My wife had the Eggs Benedict, again, her only complaint was the ham slice was a little too thick! Really, too thick? The hollandaise is home made a very well made. All food was hot and served timely. Try there smoothies, for an excellent substitute for a heavy meal too! We have had the Mexican breakfast items as well, and were not disappointed! read more

I really had high hopes's for Ray Azteca's new breakfast/lunch location. I live nearby and there is a huge shortage of good neighborhood restaurants. Since their original location is always great, service and food, I hoped that this would be the same. Unfortunately, they have a lot of work to do. I am hopeful that they read this and other reviews and make changes after being open a while. As I love breakfast I am continually trying to find my "regular" spot. I always try a veggie egg white omelette when going to a new place. That's a staple breakfast for me so something I use as a barometer to compare. If that's good then I would typically venture out on the menu at future visits. When I walked in I was immediately greeted with a smile and seated at a nice both. Same great welcome you get at their regular restaurant. I ordered coffee and a veggie omelette with egg whites. Looking forward to trying the Mexican specialties at future visits. The omelette comes with A nice selection of veggies inside along with hashbrowns and toast of your choice. They also have a healthy omelette which is the same as I ordered except no cheese and no hashbrowns. Instead, you get a cup of fruit. I specifically ordered the regular one as I wanted the hashbrowns and not the fruit. Hot coffee was served right away in cool Mexican pottery styled mugs. I thought this was a great start. The coffee was mediocre and it tasted like cheap Denny's or McDonald's coffee. Again, hoping for something greater as the coffee cost $2.75. Just OK so far, but then the food arrived. They got the omelette right but it came with a side of fruit. Asked the waitress for the hashbrowns and she apologized and said she bring that out right away. I started in on the omelette while waiting. Sometimes hot eggs create moisture on a plate so I typically use a napkin to dry it out a little. This omelette, however , seemed to be swimming in what at first I thought was water but turned out to be water and oil mixture. I had ordered The omelette without tomatoes as I'm not a fan. Swimming with the eggs and other veggies in the oil/water mixture was a bunch of chopped tomatoes. The waitress quickly brought out a side of hashbrowns. Again, hoping for a little redemption with well cooked crispy, tasty hashbrowns. Again, totally disappointed. While the portion size was large, they were barely cooked and in the middle was just lukewarm. I had ordered an English muffin, dry, instead of regular toast or tortillas. This came out barely toasted and tasting like it was just out of a package and put on a plate. Overall, I was completely disappointed. I ate what I could so I wasn't too hungry when I left I ended up leaving half the meal on the plate. They've only been open a month or so so I'm not totally writing them off. Hopefully they'll read the negative reviews and work on fixing the little things to make this a great breakfast place in the neighborhood. Will also need to try some of their juices or smoothies in the future. read more

The staff is awesome and the food is to die for. The Mole. Damn... the asada wet burrito is heaven in your mouth. Sooo good!

The food, the drinks and atmosphere here are second only to the people that work here, they are all so very genuinely friendly, remember your names, faces and orders. I have never had anything average here, everything is top notch. They even do a happy hour for women from 7-8 with special, hand crafted cocktails for 2 bucks. The other guests at the bar are usually very friendly and this really feels like you are going to a good friends Hacienda, rather than a restaurant. I can't say enough GREAT things about this place and staff! read more

The chip and salsa bar is fresh and tasty. The juice is very good. The breakfast my family had was very good. I had the chili Colorado and it was great. My daughter enjoyed the chili verde. read more

The staff is fast and friendly and the food is delicious! This is our regular weekend breakfast spot from now on. The Chili Colorado is a must have! They are constantly busy but they are quick to serve you with a smile. read more

Best breakfast place in Carmichael if not all of Sacramento. Staff is very friendly and helpful when ordering. Explains everything and gives you the best options and recommendations for what your looking for. Food tastes excellent and portion sizes were awesome! Well priced and unlimited chips and salsa what's not to love. read more

The best Mexican food in the area. The. Hips and salsa bar are a great way to start your meal. We have eaten here several times and the food is excellent. Will be back!! read more

Every time I come here the food is always great. Every single time. Wait times could be a little long every now and then but I mean come on this isn't just my world and people live in it lol... I'm not the only one craving some Rey Azteca! I will say this, if you're just looking for some regular American breakfast maybe you should go to Denny's, this place is a Mexican restaurant that specializes in MEXICAN dishes, sorry I read underneath someone got food poising... Lol!!!! Probably from someone super shallow who only orders pancakes and a side of eggs, get out of here and take your self to Denny's/IHOP! LOL! This is breakfast of the champs! Love all the staff and food, go Rey Azteca!!! read more

I've been here for morning juice and that alone is the best. The half dozen times I've had breakfast have all been great. And the couple of times I've been there for dinners (recently started) have been really good. I'll be going back. read more

Very friendly service; fresh and tasty food; reasonable prices.

Well, husband and I arrived at 10 a.m. today,Sunday. Lots of people there but we were seated right away. Waited 8 minutes, I flagged down busboy and said we wanted to order. No one had asked if we wanted coffee even. A waiter came over and did apologize. We ordered our food. When it arrived (i had huervos ranchero) the refried beans were barely warm as well as my husbands plate. He's a fan of chorizo. It was chorizo with egg mixed in but not our usual experience of chorizo with some spices and onions,very bland. The coffee was hot though. They didn't seem to have enough waitstaff on the floor to take orders. Never got a coffee refill. Not feeling that we will return. Our bill was 29$. 2 coffees, 2 breakfast plates. read more

My favorite Mexican place in Sacramento. I LOVE their food. The service is wonderful. So many great friendly people work there. I love that they have a choice of beans and rice, and that they help me select items that accommodate my gluten sensitively. My husband loves the Azteca salad and the Azteca omelet. And I am crazy about their Enchiladas Suisas and other specialties such the quesadillas invented by their Mama. Great Salsa bar too. I gave it five stars because I'm finding it harder and harder to find authentic Mexican food here in this part of Sacramento, especially restaurants that do not put heaps of wheat flour in everything (like wheat even grows in Mexico, right?! LOL!). read more

My bf and I have came to this location twice both times rice came out old and stale but the waiter also messed up on my drink. When we called ahead we asked to about the happy hour special and we were told the specials and we looked online and it said $6 margaritas but when we received the bill that was not the case. I talked to the our server an old Mexican lady yamilete and she said she told us only the "house margarita" was on special. Another employee there gave us a drink menu when we first got there that had no "house margarita" on it. Then she told us it was our duty to ask for them. Yet I asked for the drink menu that her coworker gave me isn't even the one for their restaurant. Then she proceeded to tell me "if you don't have money to pay for it I'll pay for them myself" She was extremely rude when they messed up on the whole thing. Then goes off to insult in acting as if I didn't have enough money. Of course I didn't leave a tip because that was completely unprofessional I always tip good everywhere I go but there was no way I would tip a rude server like that. She didn't even have the decency to come and give us our receipt she had another employee do it. read more

Have been here twice. The first time we came in quite early, 07:15, and had a fantastic breakfast with great service. The second time we came around 10:00 or so and they were very, very busy. Service was slower, friendly, but not near as attentive. The food was also not as fantastic as our first visit, good but not fantastic. We will certainly be back, but will plan to come early!! read more

I won a gift certificate in a soccer basket and decided to give this place a try. Absolutely amazing breakfast! Large proportions, salsa bar and friendly & attentive empliyees! My family will definitely make this a regular breakfast/brunch stop! read more

This is a fantastic Mexican restaurant. We went on Sunday morning and the breakfast was excellent.
