    Rey Azteca - Chicken fajitas

    Rey Azteca

    $$

    First time visiting Rey Azteca and was pleasantly surprised with the inside ambiance; wall murals,…read morebrightly painted dining tables even small rooftop awnings above some of the tables. Outside seating available weather permitting along with decorative blow ups for the little ones to take a picture with . We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table in the back as we were a party of 8. Our server Marisol was fantastic. She was welcoming and very patient (as some of us could not make a decision). Marisol was extremely attentive throughout our visit constantly checking in even though she had several tables to serve. Served complimentary chips and salsa to begin with. The food fare is your typical Mexican cuisine: enchiladas, fajitas, burritos, quesadillas, carne asada, soups etc. we started off with the spicy guacamole which was delicious and lived up to its name. There's even a children's menu available for the less adventurous. The food dishes were all well portioned and reasonably priced. There's a full bar available as well. Overall good food reasonably priced with a friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely revisit when back in the Lake Wylie area.

    It took our waitress forever to take our order, bring our food and even give us our bill.. and…read morethere was only 6 people in the restaurant at that time. This was the second time I had this issue. The food was sub par, and noticed a huge decline in service. I won't be coming back
