Upon sitting they served chips and salsa. I got the street tacos ($16) and ceviche ($13). Salsa tasted quite watered and didn't have much flavor. Food then came out in about 15mins. I got the street tacos with half steak and chicken. The chicken was quite dry and had a bit of seasoning. The steak slightly better, however also dry and lacked flavor. The salsa verde was very warm and didn't have much flavor. Staff were nice. Overall food was quite mediocre Food(50%): 5.3 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 5.6/10 read more

A local, authentic spot that hits just right whether it's for there or to go. I love everything about this place and seem to end up there once or twice a month. Appreciate the portion sizes and the food that comes out fresh everytime! read more

Went here for dinner. Service was not great. Food was even worse. No flavor. Way overpriced. 2 adults and a child $76. Would not recommend.

This place is under new management and food has gone downhill since we first started going there many years ago. My food was very bland and lacked any seasoning (I had the #3). My margarita was funky tasting like pineapple. Service was good, waitress was very attentive. Ambiance has improved. Now they need to focus on the food. read more

Great people great service awesome food thanks for the great experience for someone new to the area will definitely visit the next time I'm in the area read more

Food was decent. I had the lunch steak fajita for lunch. it was good. They surcharge like 3% for all. Service was a bit slow I waited like 20min for them to make the food, and I waited 5 min to be asked my order. Guess they were low staff And it took a long time to come bring my check to pay Clean, Good music, Good ambiance for relaxing and nice paintings Would recommend for quick lunch or casual dining read more

Food is amazing and prices are fantastic. Get the queso! Staff is always friendly. Service is quick. It's a family favorite for us. I've never had something I didn't like. Even when I ordered the wrong dish once- it was outstanding! read more

The foods good. Everytime I order takeout: it's missing salsa Or the chips. Or both. The extra cup of salsa Togo $3.50. Gave us half filled cups of salsa? If I'm going to spend my money I'd like you to give a f*ck about my food too. It's happened the last 3 times we ordered take out. I'll be going to SoCal or taqueria el pastorcito from now on, it's a waste of time ordering out they never get it correct & STILL short you on something. read more

We've always loved this place, but we got delivery last night that deserves a mention for something over-the-top. As always, the food was great even though they put lettuce on my taco when I asked them not to (it's a quirk I can't get them to stop doing). I always ask restaurants to make food extra spicy, and on the rare occasions they even bother trying...they don't understand spicy. This place does. They included some *really* good hot sauce that actually had a bite to it. No other restaurant has ever done this. I love them for it. They've always been very accommodating, whether we're in a hurry for take-out or being picky about our food (except lettuce). I really enjoy this place and I have for years. Thanks Rey Azteca! read more

I've eaten in once and taken out once and both times I was truly delighted. Generous portions, reasonable prices, friendly service! I love their chips and salsa and will probably order extra on my next to go order. I've tried a variety of food items and not a single one disappointed. The street tacos were really good and the taquitos were exceptional as well. The dining room has gorgeous hand-made tables and comfy booths. It gets busy for dinner even during the week but if you go in during the slow times it's very peaceful. Looking forward to going back soon. The only problem will be deciding what to order! read more

The service was great. Margarita was good, but the food was horrible. The salsa was very bland. No one liked their food, but the margarita was great.. read more

Food, so-so, nothing to write home about. Service bad...our waitress was so unfriendly, looked mad and could have cared less. Appears you have to pay extra to get more chips, but hard to get wait staff to ask. Miserable wait staff. And really get some margarita glasses! Haven't been there in years. Not going back. read more

This place is great. Quick service. Good food. Vegetarian options. It's pushing it to say that there are vegan options but you can if you get creative ordering. read more

Stopped at this location in New Ken with family. Seated quickly, but it was about 10 minutes before we got the chips/salsa and the server took our order. The place wasn't busy, but there was only one server that seemed to be working. Food came out with an error on my daughter's order, but they fixed it. The food was well prepared, hot and tasted fine otherwise. Decent, normal Mex fare...slow service, but okay. Priced decently. read more

Food charge is overpriced. Kids meal 8.00 for a corn dog. They charged 4.00 for chips and salsa. Never again!!! Service was like being in a third world country read more

Always 10/10. lunch specials are where it's at! service is always good. salsa slaps. lunch quesadilla delux

This is a small chain of 3 restaurants. This location is nothing fancy on the exterior, but there is some over the top heroic Aztec themed art inside. The service is efficient, and they do a good business. The portions are good an everything tastes authentic, although a little bland. We ordered draft beers and they were huge. My vegetarian special was just $8 (one dollar off the menu price. This is a we'll run establish with a loyal following, i don't think you can go wrong here. read more

Love this place!!!! Relaxing. Pleasant. Amazing food!!!!! Fantastic staff! Always our go to Mexican Food. read more

I love their menu and food but there is something that causes me to have severe acid reflux so I can't eat there anymore.

Beer I ordered expired in 2022. Food was burnt and tasted dirty. The salsa was basically V8 juice. Food made me sick as a dog. Does anyone know the number for the board of health? Better off eating out of a dumpster. The service was garbage too. Never go here. read more

My sweet handsome boyfriend took me out to Rey Azteca for are three year anniversary and mind I love Mexican food imagine my shock when the meal came out bland and flavorless there was more flavor in a 3$ Taco Bell burrito also extremely overpriced for the portion I felt as it was a slap in the face. Service was non existent I don't know how this restaurant gets business. read more

My sweet, beautiful girlfriend took me out to dinner tonight to cheer me up after a rough day. Little did she know, eating at ray azteca would make my day much worse. Service is average at best the food is insanely overpriced I've been here twice and both times it's been a pretty crappy experience. read more

Great food. Nice tables (when eating in). Some of their processes regarding pickups are badly designed. Good margherita and does have a bar. Not exactly late nights, though, this place closes early and isn't always open for lunch. I feel they have tremendous potential to revolutionize their bottom line with Doordash / Grubhub and extending their hours to other times of the day, but are too caught up in being what they are: a good version of Rey Azteca (better than the Monroeville one). I can't recommend any one thing but can say that there are the basics, tacos, chalupa, burrito, tamale, and most of their specials are all rolled up into combinations of the above. Best deal for dollar is "Special", anything at the $10-11 level is good and if you want to have a siesta you pick the $14 items. I personally avoid the shrimp. Summing up: FRESH GUAC FRESHLY MADE AND NICE BUT NOT HOT SALSA AUTHENTIC In the Tarentum area it's hard to find anything other than "American" and "Italian American", so this place is an OASIS DE MEXICANA! read more

OMG I NEEDED THIS!! Excellent excellent excellent!! Staff is always nice and quick! Food is piping hot and amazing! Best I had in months! Go. Eat. That's all I can say!! read more

A great Mexican spot in New Kensington. It's located in a strip mall, there is plenty of parking. Staff is very friendly and attentive. They have a pretty sizable drink menu and an even larger food menu. Love their salsa. I had the #19 combo which was great. Portions are good size and prices are very reasonable for what you get. Their fried ice cream was fine, not the typical fried ice cream I prefer but still very good. Overall, a great spot, worth checking out. read more

Always delicious, and fast efficient service as well. It's great to have this place nearby.

Small servings for fajitas for 2. Not seasoned, not appealing. Service is good. Delivered in a timely manner

Gave us food poisoning. Don't eat there. My father in law ended up in the hospital for 2 days. I'm sick to my stomach.

Friendly service, good food, and Mexican band. Can't ask for more. I'm a big fan and so is my husband

Adequate. Food was about what you might expect from strip mall Mexican. The chicken with red mole was just uninspired. The mole lacked any complexity or depth, as if it'd been poured from a jar. Service was equally meh -- no big faux pas but also not at all engaged or friendly. read more

Excellent Mexican food. My favorite as always the shrimp burrito. I believe it's referred to as the Cancun. To die for.

Bad call on my part. Was seated then waited and waited asked waitress to take our order she kept saying in a minute. Turns out she was not the waitress just serving drinks. Did not communicate with our waitress at all. Then when asking for salt for the bland watery salsa waitress just kept saying yes, never did get the salt. Two tables that sat down after us (different waiter) received thier dinners 10 minutes ahead of us. Did ya ever have a salt and sugar rim on your margarita. We did. Food was acceptable but not great, did not get the Verde sauce until we re-asked twice. Probably won't be back for a while until I become stupid and forget the experience we just had. Gave two stars just because the food was edible. I do not like non communication. read more

I got food here once before and it was good. I just went there tonight...awful! my order was wrong! Chips with no salsa OR Queso. My quesadilla...boiled chicken and a DROP of cheese! The chicken literally had NO seasoning! It was what my mother feeds her dog! My soft tacos..lot of meat no cheese! Everything was cold! When I went to pick up the order the guy told me the order and I corrected him and told him what it should be and in stead of going to fix it he just shook his head yes like oh yeah I just said it wrong. Clearly he knew it was wrong when I told him what I had ordered. I understand the language barrier but he clearly knew what I said and what he said were not the same! read more

Im giving this restaurant 2 stars because we didn't even get to try the food! We waited outside for 30min and just left! Food must be good to be packed right? read more

Gave ME FOOD POISONING !! They clearly gave up on the restaurant. Also 11$ for a weak sugar rimmed margarita. ..why sugar?
