Rey Azteca Monroeville - Chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great service and great food. It was not busy at all. Food came quick and hot. It was a friday evening

This place...yes. This is the only good mexican food I've had since living in Pitt. This is the quality I'm used to back home. I've never been disappointed ordering from here and I love to order from them when I have a big appetite because I want to eat as much as possible while it's fresh. One of my favorite orders is the Guadalajara especial...1 chicken & 1 beef taquito, 1 chx tamale, served over a bed of nachos topped with ground beef, shredded chicken, beans & rice, all topped with cheese sauce, sour cream, and guacamole. For $14 it is a hell of a lot of good food. It was at least 2, usually 3 meals for me and I eat a lot. love it! read more

After having an interesting time at the car dealership we found ourselves in need of food and drink. I checked yelp and found this place. Walking in we were greater by a friendly hosted who showed us to a booth. Not 5 sec later we were brought out chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and the salsa had good spice and a smooth consistency. The menu is large with lots of different combinations. To drink I ordered a large margarita and Bry had a negra modelo on draft. The margarita had great flavor. For dinner I choice chicken and cheese flautas. They were delicious. The chicken was moist and well seasoned and the guacamole it came with was also very good. The other half had a fajita dish with beef chicken and shrimp which is his staple and he enjoyed it. The little boy had a quesadilla and French fries. He ate almost all of it. Once it cooled down enough for him to eat it. This was a great place for a meal. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food is hot, fresh and comes out fast. Not much more I could ask for at a place like this. read more

When Rey Azteca first opened in Johnstown during my 3-year stint there 8 or so years ago, the restaurant introduced me to some of the best Mexican food I had ever eaten, so my excitement when they opened a location closer to Pittsburgh was through the roof! I had made the sometimes-annoying drive out of the city to their old location in Penn Hills quite a few times, but recently stopped in to their latest location while in Monroeville. What an improvement! That's not a comment on the food, though. The food was excellent, as usual, but the new restaurant is much larger and cleaner than the old fast food joint they were in before. My favorite dish is the enchiladas rancheras. It's the one dish that no other Mexican restaurant in the city can come close to matching. Their ranchero sauce is awesome! Other than the enchiladas, Rey Azteca gives you a ton of delicious food for a reasonable price, and the service is fast and pleasant. It's nice to see that Rey Azteca hasn't lost its touch with the additional locations that they've added over the years, and I can't emphasize enough how happy I am that they have a location closer to Pittsburgh. It's worth the drive! read more

Great!!!! All the street options are delicious and service is excellent. Tasty food!!!!

I am 1st generation Mexican-American, so I know what properly prepared Mexican food is. I just experienced a disaster listed on the menu as a pork burrito. The carnitas in the burrito had the proper consistency and texture but were so over-salted they were practically inedible. I had to pull half of them out of the burrito in an attempt to be able to eat it. Highly disappointed with restaurant management's apathy, as I brought this to the attention of two of the floor/serve staff. I am writing this from my table, to see if anyone from management comes to speak with me. Apparently, management does not value customers or repeat business. I still left the server a 20% tip, as she was pleasant and served me with reasonable service. As for El Rey 3, BAD NEWS! I definitely recommend avoiding this establishment unless you like overpriced salt and bad customer service. read more

This has to be my favorite Mexican restaurant in all of Pittsburgh. Everytime I come to this establishment, the staff is always very friendly and very attentive. There's never been a wait when we go for dinner which is always a plus too. But the main reason for this review is for the food quality. You can taste how fresh the food is. Everything I've ordered from them is amazing! The food is hot, filling and a great price for the quality you're getting. All in all, this is a place I can see my self coming biweekly or more! read more

I don't have much to say about Rey Azteca. I'll keep it short and sweet, just like my visit there this past weekend! It is your traditional Mexican restaurant in Monroeville. Upon arrival, we were quickly seated and greeted with salsa and a warm basket of chips. We placed our lunch order and it was served about 10 minutes later. Everything was fresh and hot. Our drinks never went close to empty and neither did our chips and salsa (we asked for seconds and they didn't charge us!) A lot of patrons around us got dessert (the fried ice cream). It looked so good, but we were so full that we passed on dessert. This is definitely a place you'd want to visit if your hungry, but in a time crunch. The service was great and the food was even better! read more

Best table side guac. I recommend the "special dinner" a little bit of everything. Yum yum yum!

I work in Penn Center and this is one of the favorite spots for lunch in our office. The food is fresh, tastes great and the service is happy and quick. Lunch never takes a full hour and you never feel rushed. Plus, portions are big so it's great that there's a short walk involved!! Look for the specials and enjoy your meal! read more

Me & my wife love mexican food, so we figured we would try Monroeville's newest Mexican delight. Though I am a strict El Campesena guy when it comes to Mexican in the area, I am starting to veer towards Rey's. I mean this is crazy for a kid that LOVES El Camp, especially after only ONE visit to Rey's. I don't if it's my selfishness, that I don't like new places or environments, but the new El Camp is missing something that it had at the old Pappin's. So after only one visit I am willing to brake my loyalty to El Camp and give Rey's a run. My recommendations at this joint are very rough & limited. But the sauce on there Enchiladas is fantastic. Don't know if that's what there calling there mole, but it's rich in smokeyness. This must mean there is Adobo sauce involved which is NEVER a bad thing. The right amount of heat so no hot sauce is needed (well, for me). The chips and salsa aren't even close to the quality of El Camp. Though I do like a thicker chip, these were just bland. The salsa is very jar tasting to this jedi. My meal made up for more than what they offered in chip & salsa department. So I have to give it Rey's for stepping into the ring with other Mexican restaurants in the area. Jedi Recommendations; * Enchilada * Burrito * Taco (WAY better than El Camp) read more

Great authentic Mexican food! Been craving this type of food for so long and this definitely hit the spot! Shrimp was delicious and the table side guacamole was to die for! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

I love this place! We normally go to the other location in New Kensington, but the menu is the same and it seems like for the most part so is the food with a few minor differences, as to be expected at a different location. What is consistent is yummy Mexican food that won't disappoint, simple and delicious!! Enchiladas Verdes is my go to dish! read more

Great place to get Mexican if you're in the Wilkins/Monroeville area. Good food delivered hot, and good waitstaff. They are friendly, the place is clean and well maintained. A good stop for lunch or dinner! read more

We've lived in the Monroeville area for almost 7 years. HOW HAVE WE NEVER HAD FOOD FROM HERE???? We love Mexican food. It's a weekly thing. It's always in the take-out rotation. As is typical with a late-night Sunday dinner scramble where nobody wants to cook we searched Doordash for some options. We found Rey Azteca. We always overlooked it and never ordered. Well, tonight we were really in the mood for Mexican food, and our go-to was closed. Then our backup to the go-to was closed. Rey Azteca is was. Yeah, this is our new go-to. I got the Cancun Shrimp Burrito and good lord. It was HUGE! It was stuffed with the most delicious shrimp and veggies. Husband got the supreme burrito and the same with his. It was stuffed with the most delicious chicken. One of our sons got the Mark Burrito. I've never seen a burrito the size of a 13-year-olds head before. We've also never found a dish that actually fills the bottomless pit that is one of our 13-year-olds. He was actually full after eating it! The other kiddo got the dinner combo with 2 hard shell tacos and an enchilada. He is the pickiest eater ever. He is not adventurous with his food. He ate everything including the rice I couldn't because I was stuffed. If you are wondering what you should eat or if you should eat Rey Azteca...the answer is YES! Even if you don't want Mexican food....ORDER IT! read more

The food is always so very good here. We will never stop coming just because of the food, however, I have to say that our waitress this past time was forgetful. I ordered a glass of wine and it did not come until almost the end of our meal. I think there were some minor communication problems, however once things were straightened out, we enjoyed a very very delicious meal as usual. We were also seated right next to the door, which I did not like at first but I let this go because I didn't feel like making a fuss. I did get a draft the whole time we were eating, which was unpleasant. I know that sounds petty, but to me where you sit has a lot to do with the atmosphere while at the restaurant. I ordered a cheese quesadilla which, had so much filling in it I didn't know what to do with myself. It was so delicious and steamy hot and the cheese just melted everything together. Usually quesadillas are thin, but this was more like a sandwich in thickness, and tasted so good I could go for one right now. My husband got a burrito with steak, chicken, and shrimp inside. He did not have any complaints and it was finished in no time. One thing I wanted to mention was that the guacamole was such a small serving and we paid over four dollars for a side of this. I know avocados are expensive, but geez for that amount of guac and knowing the price k paid for the little tiny bowl (see photos), I could have picked them myself! The complementary chips and dip are always a hit. We had churro's for desert which, despite as being so incredibly full, we always make room for them and they hit the spot for sure. Other than a few small housekeeping things, we have few complaints. read more

I ordered food twice and both times my order was wrong. I just ordered dinner on July 9 2020 and didn't get the "all chicken special" with my order. Instead I received a large container of refried beans... When I tried to call to get a refund or the rest of my order, no one answered. This isn't right. read more

Amazing, authentic Mexican food! I ordered the Rey Azteca and it came with a chicken quesadilla and chicken azulza. It was SO good and reasonably priced. I would've given this 5 stars, but the waitress gave me a white wine when I ordered a Cabernet. She insisted that it was Cabernet. I sent it back and asked for a Merlot and it was served chilled... I guess I should've just suck with a margarita! read more

Always great Mexican food! Authentic great taste! Love how fresh the chicken is-big chunks of moist & perfectly cooked! Great entree' choices, great pico de gallo-do not miss the epic tamales!! Awesome! Highly recommend! read more

After spending a few hours at a car dealership down the street, we found this place, tucked in the back of a strip mall right along the main road. We have been on a quest for decent, authentic Mexican food in the Pittsburgh area and this restaurant did not disappoint. We had chips, salsa & guac - all good. Beef Enchiladas were amazing, and enough to fill you up. Quesadilla w/ veggies, shredded chicken was really good and filling too. Both dishes were fresh and actually hot when they arrived at our table. The waiter was very friendly, answered any questions we had and was attentive but not annoying about it. Our bill was $25 for 2 main entrees, 2 drinks & guac. We will be coming back! read more

Worst mexican I ever had, chicken breast was not fully cooked. Food was bland. Quesidilla was just flavorless.

If you are in Monroeville and looking for Mexican this is the place to go. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and great food. Warm chips and salsa were served when we sat down. Picture shows grilled shrimp chimichangas on far plate and on the first plate it was dinner combo #29 shredded beef quesadilla, ground beef taco and ground beef enchilada. While I was not there for Happy Hour they do offer Happy Hour specials. I would definitely return if back in this area. read more

Rey Azteca Monroeville - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

No, No, No, do not do it! We saw the 4.5 star review and made a point to go, even going a little out of our way on the way back from something after work. We arrived there at 8PM, and it looked like they were already putting the chairs up. Really, 8PM is late to arrive? We went for it anyway. Next we noticed that they have two house margaritas, the regular sized for like $6, and a double-sized for just $2 more. Having had a hard day we order the jumbo (save the waiter and extra trip as well). Here's what you get for your extra $2: twice as much generic margarita mix, sickly sweet, and no extra tequila. Bad. We were not off to a good start. The food was equally unremarkable. Flavorless beans, the standard iceberg lettuce salad (OK the guac is decent, but it should be, right?), and a veggie burrito where the vegetables were practically raw and hardly seasoned. I ordered the Mole Poblano because I love Mole and it was supposed to be sweet and spicy. It was neither. The Veggie burritos weren't finished, no box please, and (and this never happens) the margaritas were also not finished. You'll notice that others have mentioned how ridiculously many items are on the menu. That's usually a bad sign, and in this case it sure turned out to be. read more

Checked Yelp while in town and decided to try this place! The waiting area was full of folks waiting for take out. I was quickly seated and ordered a margarita while I looked over the extensive menu! While looking I was served warm chips and salsa, which was very good! I decided on the Burrito Verdes which is two burritos, one shredded beef and on shredded chicken covered in a chile verde sauce! The margarita was very tasty. The burritos were both delicious! The service was good but the place looks pretty beat up. The booth I was seated on had a split open seat and the "bar" was covered in black plastic and non-operational! Bottom line is the food was very good, but the atmosphere was not really warm and inviting! read more

I was dying for a good mexican place two weeks ago, and I'm pretty glad I found this place. For a sunday, it was ominously quiet, including the rest of the locations in the shopping cul-de-sac thing. Staff was good and attentive. Chips and salsa were good (how can't they be?!). The menus are a bit too much. It was a little hard to navigate and pick one thing. Anyhow, the wait was amazingly short. We got our food in ten minutes, at least. I'm an enchilada guy, and they didn't disappoint. My mom's a huge fan of chile relieno, and she said her's was perfect. Prices weren't even bad, either. If you're in the area, check this place out. P.S. they were working on the bar when we got here two weeks ago, not sure if it's done it not. If you want to OD on margaritas, be sure to check first. read more

Great, inexpensive Mexican food. Taco Tuesdays are $1 tacos. Big, sugary margaritas along with a full bar. I typically order either the tacos or a nice wet burrito. The service is prompt and courteous. Seating is widely available due to recent renovations and parking is no issue. Standard fare but above average for the area. The atmosphere is very laid back with a wide range range of customers and waiters. read more

A little hidden place in Monroeville that serves great Mexican food. We've been two times, and both times left satisfied...maybe a little too satisfied. Portions are generous. Ask for the green tomatillo sauce to accompany your salsa and chips, you won't be disappointed. read more
