On a busy Saturday evening, we came here for dinner while staying nearby. 5 min wait to be seated, not a problem as busy as they were. Drinks and order taken within 10 minutes. Food arrived at the table 15 minutes after that. Really good when the place was packed. Friendly staff, the food was reasonably priced, and very good. If we lived here, we would frequently eat here. I rarely give 5 stars, this place is a solid 4. Decor dated, but the dining experience was very good. Can't see how you can go wrong here. read more

everyone is nice food is fresh good prices better than el jalisco or dos amigos lol even when busy they still check on you read more

Food is Fantastic service is great Highly recommended for a great experience I just know you would love it

Great service and amazing tacos. So authentic!!! Will be coming here again. Stopped here off the PA turnpike for something quick - called in our order when we were 20 min away and it was ready when we arrived! One of the best stops at this exit. Get the carnitas!!! read more

Well well well well when in 7 Springs area and want a craving for Mexican well now you know where to go! True authentic Mexican - remember Mexico is bigger than Cancun folks and so different areas have different flavors and method of preparation. This menu is extensive! To start we were brought chips and two kinds of salsa. One had way more cilantro and each had a unique base spice, you could tell one had smokier peppers in it. The heat hit you in the throat in that one. The other on the tongue. Daughter ordered a shrimp dish and made herself some tacos - I stole some tasty shrimp. She was not sharing I got an evil eye there. Husband ordered the enchilada special- one beef, chicken, veggie- I can tell you it was so delicious he cleaned his plate. I had the shredded chicken in mole- hot damn this was good! You can make yourself a taco as it comes with tortillas- or you can do as I did with my leftovers - serve them over corn cake- oh I wish I had some of that now as I write this from New Jersey and not Pittsburgh. Great made myself hungry ! read more

Love everything I've ever eaten there. Lorenzo is the best he'll take great care of you.

Fantastic restaurant! Great service, great food and super convenient right off the turnpike. I got the fajita quesadillas and some queso to go with my chips. Everything was good! read more

Rey-Azteca had great yelp reviews and it did not disappoint, excellent service and fantastic food. Everyone in my party, including two picket kiddos had nothing but glowing reviews from there meals. Clean plates all around A+++ read more

Excellent food! Stellar service! All the time, every time! Don't forget desserts! The flan is creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. read more

I'm traveling thru the town and stopped in to get takeout. I was very impressed with with my tacos, Spanish rice and refried beans. Great taste in Mexican food. read more

Great meal for a great price! We went here on a Saturday for dinner and were seated/served quickly. The service was great and the food was also wonderful. Also, their prices are so very reasonable. We are so happy to have found a great restaurant in Somerset for when we're visiting our lake house on the occasional weekend. read more

Rey-Azteca - Chicken mole poblano - Mexican Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

Horchata and home brewed tea are stellar! Chips and salsa are standard with seating but the salsa is kind of bland, not much to it besides tomato sauce. Chips were great. I got the mole ranchero hoping for some spice. The only spice and flavor was sodium. Mole if suppose to have so much flavor depth but this was seriously lacking. The guac is just smushed avocado with hints of cilantro and tomato. Not bad but could be so much more. You can't really screw up guac though. My boyfriend had the Rey Azteca and said similar things about it, not to much flavor. It's all right, just nothing too special. I'd eat here again but knowing it's just okay. read more

In love with this place!! It's certainly a diamond in the rough, there are a few places to eat locally, but I am glad I stopped here. Their entire menu is VERY reasonably priced. Their lunch specials average $6! There is a charge of $.75 for ordering off the lunch special menu if it's after 3pm. Portion size is large, bring your appetite! I had huevos rancheros and paid less than $7. The meal consisted of four tortillas (choice of corn or flour) , rice, refried beans, three eggs, and toppings. It was delicious and filling. I recommend trying their horchata.. it is a sweet and refreshing rice water beverage. read more

Rey-Azteca - biggest $3 horchata I've ever had - delicious too! - Mexican Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

I'm always looking for authentic Mexican cuisine while on the road and there was no disappointment upon discovering Rey-Azteca at their Somerset location. Within a minute of walking in, I'd gotten my order placed and was eagerly anticipating what many other patrons were so clearly enjoying. At 8 pm on a Friday, the cozy dining room was teeming with diners tucking into generous portions of delicious-looking food. I ordered the Burrito Cancun, stuffed with shrimp, bell peppers, tomatoes and onions, topped with a mild red salsa and served with yellow rice and refried beans. It arrived blazingly quick and piping hot in a portion that was generous but not overwhelming. The shrimp were plentiful and juicy; a delightful dish that could've stood on its own without my customary guacamole, sour cream and cilantro extras. The staff was friendly, attentive and quick. Decor was warm without being flashy and the tunes made for awesome seat-mambo. Above all, the price was perfect. I hear that they are family-owned and have more than one location. Well, they do it right, and more power to them (and to you.) read more

Amazing place, amazing price, amazing staff! The food is pretty good and I just didn't give 5 stars because my carne assada wasn't as great I expected. Was good and had a lot of meat but wast amazing. My husband chicken enchiladas and he absolutely love it! To be fair they have the best rice and beans I ever had, I had to order a side to go. We also had fried ice cream and was pretty good. I can't wait to come back and try the fajitas. read more

Very good Mexican food. Good prices and service. The pork carnitas were truly good. PS the fajitas give off a heavenly aroma. This is certainly one of the best places in Somerset. A solid 4 stars. read more

Rey-Azteca - Pork carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

This place by far is the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. I made a Yelp account just to make a review about this place. First the plates are so hot the waiter has to wear oven mitts just to serve us food. Like so hot if you touch them they burn your finger. I ordered tacos and they came with mozzarella on them? Zero flavor. My wife's food looked and tasted like cat food soaked in a can of hunts tomato sauce. Our daughters chicken nuggets were burnt and she couldn't bite through them. The waiter had no personality and wouldn't smile, but kept touching the back of our daughters hair, and holding his hand. Just an odd and bad experience. Would not recommend. read more

Another great meal here at Rey Azteca! One of my favorite restaurants in Somerset. The Chalupa Texana was made to perfection. If you haven't tried this restaurant then you are missing out. read more

Rey-Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

I went here with my boyfriend, who is a connoisseur of Mexican food and can usually judge what's worthwhile much better than a gringa like myself. We were both a bit skeptical at first especially given that we were in Somerset, PA - not really a place known for great Mexican. However, we left giving them five stars! The food was delicious and filling and we were very impressed. I had an enchilada combo and he had the Guadalajara Special. Both were great. Our only gripe we had was that their salsa was too mild and tasted a bit like ketchup... but the server was happy to bring us a much hotter salsa/sauce that would fulfill even the most demanding of palettes. I would love to come back and try more when I'm back in Western PA, which is at least once a year. I'll definitely recommend this place to friends, family and hungry travelers. read more

A charming restaurant. Great for families, large selection, smidge slow to take the order but lightening fast service. A great find for travelers. read more

Heaven. Came here after work. We're from Buffalo, NY. Contractors working in town. This place reminds us of our favorite restaurant, Taqueria Los Mayas. Everything made us feel like home. Thank yous. I loved the queso with chorizo and fresh warm chips. Salsa was perfect. Guacamole pretty good. We both got the carnitas lunch specials: one as a fajita style, other as a burrito. Delicious! (Completely different from one another.) It was like a stew rather than fried, Very tender and moist, came covered in a semi spicy salsa verde, served along with rice and refried beans. Refried beans are hard to make, these are wonderful to eat just by themselves. Not a fan of rice in general, but these paired perfectly with the meal because it did not over power the dish. Margarita (on ice always) tasted like sweetened lemonade. I asked for Don Julio Blanca (as always) instead of Cuervo, it was refreshing and deadly. I could of easily stayed the night. We originally wanted to take out, but now that we are fully vaccinated and the way the restaurant was being managed we felt safe to stay. It was our 1st time sitting in any place, great choice indeed! This is exactly what I expect from other restaurants. Spacious, Clean, friendly, priced just right, incredible food and drinks. We truly appreciate everything. When we're in town, We Will Come Back.!. Thank yous. Please Stay safe. read more

Very Authentic! Go here all the time and it's always fantastic. Delicious food, nice staff and a fun and CLEAN environment. All they need now is a bigger parking lot! read more

My son and I have stopped here for dinner several times recently. He likes the refried beans and rice. I ordered the beef fajitas both times. The fajitas are cut into thin strips and served in a hot cast iron skillet. Unfortunately this quickly over cooks the fajita meat and dries it out. If they cut the meat thicker or if the skillet wasn't lava hot, the fajitas would be better. On the plus side, the service is quick, the price is reasonable, and they serve a generous portion of fajitas. read more

Pros: Quick wait time for a table and good meals! Cons: salsa and chips aren't the best! read more

I live in Wisconsin - a state not exactly known for their Mexican food. Therefore, when traveling I'm constantly on the lookout for good Mexican. Unfortunately, most is fairly ordinary. I visited Rey Azteca today for the first time. I ordered the Pork Burrito. It was fantastic. The pork was moist and crispy on the edges. The cheese sauce with verde mixed in was also very good. The rice was ordinary, but cooked well. The service was great (Obed was the name on the receipt). He was very prompt and polite. Can't wait to come back. read more

I'm gonna be 100% honest here.. I friggin LOVE Rey Azteca! I had dined at the location in Johnstown many years before the Somerset location opened and I loved it, so needless to say I was pumped when we got our very own Rey Azteca in my hometown a few years ago. The staff here are the nicest people you will ever meet. Your beverages, baskets of chips, and carafes of salsa will never go empty. In addition to the service being pleasant, it's fast as all get-out. They have a great lunch menu that includes several combo options and smaller portions of their fantastic dinners at extremely reasonable prices. I love the Camarones Mexicanos -- tender, grilled shrimp topped with queso, served with a side of rice, lettuce, and guac. It also comes with tortillas to bundle everything up in, but I usually skip that and just inhale it in all it's cheesy goodness. Their quesadillas are muy fabuloso... and HUGE. For the couple of bucks you'll pay, you'll end up with practically two meals. Their guacamole is excellent too. Honestly, I can't say anything bad about this place. I even picked this place for my birthday lunch with my parents because I love it so much. I was disappointed when the Irwin location closed, because that was the closest one to where I live in Pittsburgh, but it's seriously worth the drive to Somerset to eat at this place. read more

If doing the PA turnpike, then this place is an ideal spot for lunch. Less than .5 mile from exit. Authentic cuisine. Fresh ingredients. Served hot. Clean place through and through. Friendly and very attentive staff. Perfect for families. The only thing I can knock them on is the children's chicken fingers were a bit over done and thus 'hard' outer crusts... read more

This is it for Mexican food in Somerset.. Take it or leave it. I really like it. The food is delicious! I like the chimis, I suggest the dinner, just because the lunch one really is not all that filling. Portions are small. All you can eat chips and homemade salsa. YUMMM. I like to order my food to go, it's very fast, less than 15 mins. On the higher end, price wise for somerset. read more

Came here twice over our spring break ski trip, the food is great and a good value. I had the lunch burrito the first time and the enchiladas Verde on my second trip, both come with their tomatillo sauce which is delicious. Margaritas come frozen or on the rocks, both are good and the medium is quite huge. Chips and salsa are awesome too! read more

I visited Somerset on Business and found out about this place from my hotel concierge. The location was pretty good, just off the turnpike. The food is amazing, service is fairly quick. I recommend getting the steak and cheese dip with na read more

A totally tolerable Mexican restaraunt in the middle of no where. Margaritas were a bit too sweet but they were strong and certainly put some pep in my step. The lunch deals are Awesome! 6 people ate here for less than $10 a head with tip. Can't beat that. read more

We took a chance on this place not being familiar with this exit. And we were met with authentic flavors and quality ingredients. Swift and smiling servers. ¡Fantastico! read more

Great find. We were immediately welcomed by an extremely happy and polite restaurant staff, which is always an added bonus. Fast and speedy service from the chips and salsa, which were very good all the way to our meals arriving. They offer a great selection of food, especially under the lunch menu. Our total bill for great food and soft drinks ended up being cheaper than what it would have cost down the road at Wendy's. The food was delicious, this was overall one of the better Mexican restaurants we have come across during our travels. Would 100% recommend stopping here over a fast food stop in Somerset. read more

Great Mexican fare and good drinks! The fajita salad is a sure bet. The soft tacos are great. They also take special requests such as chorizo tacos which are not on the menu. Portions are huge and the price is good as well! read more

Rey-Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

This place was a breath of fresh air to Somerset. We needed a place that wasn't just your burger chain spot. This is as close to authentic as Somerset will get. Many things are close. I feel it has been adapted to the taste of the area. Not as spicey as yo uwould find and some things seem to have been done the "easy" way out.. The food is great! I have visited many times and wanted something different. The waitress helped me by suggesting the Flautas. YUMMMM they are like a taquito but bigger with cheese sauce on top and lettuce tomato and guac/sour cream in the middle. VERY GOOD! Something different and have never waited more than 10-15 min for our food ... read more

Pretty solid Mexican food for the East Coast. Good service, good food with right sized portions. They have beers of the month for $3.50, today it was Pacifico, which is a preferred Mexican beer of mine. I went with the Fajitas Texanas, which were delicious , chicken, steak and shrimp for $15. Salsa was standard, when I asked for something spicier they gave a bottle of store bought salsa. If I'm in town again I will definitely stop by again. read more

Great spot.. food was good. The service can be a bit improved... buy our waiter was still able to bring out order quickly. I will come back because this time I missed out on dessert FYI- they sell alcoholic drinks and have horchata read more

I went there twice and went pretty basic both times. You know...quesadilla, burrito, taco, etc. To sum this place up in one sentence: Good food, great people, and good atmosphere. There really isn't anything negative that can be said. The food is consistent, but isn't quite deserving of a fifth star. The service is outstanding and very personable. The atmosphere is fun and inviting every time. If I were a regular to Somerset, I would most certainly be a regular. read more

My family and I had an amazing dinner here when we had to spend the night in Somerset during our road trip. The Decor The restaurant is nice. It is certainly not fancy, but that's ok. It was clean, and the decorations were very nice, not over the top corny, but gave a nice feel of mexico. The Service Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. He answered our questions, recommended things, brought our drinks quickly, brought the food quickly, and got all of our orders correct. What more do you need? The Food I loved my Enchiladas Suizas. The salsa verde was tangy and tasty, and the cheese sauce was not overpowering. The chicken was tender and juicy. My wife got fish tacos, which she thoroughly enjoyed. My parents both got combo plates, and we got a quesadilla to share as an appetizer. Everything was hot, delicious, cooked perfectly, and authentic. We will definitely be back the next time we stay in Somerset. read more

I liked the decor, it wasn't over the top, but it was definitely Mexican. We were seated immediately, our waiter was awesome, and our food came out ridiculously fast. The food was hot and very tasty, and everyone went home with a full stomach. Their menu is super long, and it was difficult selecting just one entree, which makes me think that it would be easy to go back and try something new and equally wonderful each visit. Check it out! You won't regret it. (P.S. Did I mention the low prices?!) read more
