Came here when we stopped in Wilkes Barre enroute to our home in upstate New York. The decor is…read moregreat. You feel as though you are walking into a party. The Staff was warm and welcoming. I ordered a Mango Mohito - it was delicious. We also ordered a Guacamole for the table. A woman came out with the avocado's and all the ingredients and made fresh Guac to order for us. That was outstanding. The ubiquitous chips and soupy salsa on the table was just OK - though we did snack on it endlessly. Still, it didn't have texture, tang nor taste really. Just a somewhat soupy sauce. I ordered the taco salad with chicken and my husband had dual burritos with refried beans and rice. They were good entrees. They filled us up. The portions were generous. Were they the best Mexican food we've ever had? Not really, but it was good food and we enjoyed our meals. We'd go back to El Rey Azteca again if we found ourselves in Wilkes Barre. You will enjoy a meal there. (PS Another customer the evening we were there was raving about their Cuban sandwiches - we didn't try those. You might if you stop in there.)

I had a veggie burrito, however it was mostly rice & some of the rice wasn't fully cooked. I asked for cheese ($1.50 extra) on it and they put a queso which was good. Had that queso not been on it , there wouldn't have been anything flavorful about it. My husband had chicken nachos and he stated they were bland as well.

Skipped breakfast so I was halfway looking for a brunchy option when I stumbled into El Tikal…read more With a quality lunch special section, plus your everyday Mexican favorites and a great variety of meat, seafood and veggie dishes, I had a hard time deciding. I'm usually a combo order kind of guy, but I had to throw together my own little lunch variety pack, add Santa Fe (breakfast) burrito. Plantains always hit for me, but these were extra caramelized and gooey so I had to portion them out between the beginning and end of the meal. The mole sauce on the chili relleno was smokey and not as spicy, but really well-balanced. The tamale with red sauce seemed less flavorful than the other dishes, but I'm no tamale expert and I've been hanging out with a lot of Italians recently. The Santa Fe burrito was out of this world: the eggs, nice and crumbly with tons of seasoning and flavor, the cheese-covered chorizo oozing into each bite. I need this again, and I'm sure there's so many other incredible things on the menu to explore, but this is truly a hearty and unique item worth coming back for.

Maybe its me but I really didn't love the food here. The service was great but the food not so…read moremuch. The chips were very thick and flavorless. The salsa tasted like tomato sauce with a little spice. The mexican ranch sauce, though, was delicious! The food was just lacking in flavor. Everything was bland and lukewarm. The drink was the best part of the meal. It was lacking in alcohol but very pretty and quite yummy. It was our only stop for mexican on our trip and it was quite disappointing. The food being bland really needed a kuck and their just was none. The side order of plantain was also very good and they are delicious in that ranch sauce. I probably wouldn't return but if I did id get an order of plantain and extra ranch and not order anything else.

I'm giving five stars but a few suggestions. No inside seating, so please dry the tables and…read morechairs. It's the least you can do. Not drying them says, hey, get your food and go, we don't care. It's no fun trying to add slaw from a ziplock bag, in the car. Someone said cash only, I paid in cash. I didn't see a sign, you may want to add that. The pupusas were good, kind of bland, once I added the included slaw for crunch and hot sauce for flavor, it really came together. Too bad I had to do this on my lap. Lastly, the tamarind juice was chunky. I wasn't expecting that and didn't care for it. Just personal preference. I'd love to see a weekly special flavor!

They definitely lose out on money from drinks bc a lot of the time we end up getting one drink each, but the server never comes back or asks if we want anything else so we just have the one with our meal and leave to go elsewhere. It also affects their tips bc the more people order the higher the tip... So... ??? Unless it's just laziness and they don't care about the $ bc they all do like to hang out talking instead of checking on tables. The other night we were told the bar closed a little after 9, but they're opened til 10 and there were still other tables there and some had just arrived. So why close it way before closing time?
