This place is awesome! The dessert was awesome as well! I loved my meal (Pollos Adobe). It was so good that I'll have to learn how to make it since I'm from out of town and may not be able to try it again here. Try this place... You won't regret it. read more

We were hungry and decided to take the next exit. Road trip rule with us is no fast-food or commercial chain restaurants. A few turns and we spotted a few places and my teen had a hankering for Mexican so ended up at Rey Azteca. We arrived right before dinner rush so we were seated immediately. Lots to look at (fun eye-spy for the little ones). What I noticed immediately was that a large selection of Jarritos (Mexican sodas with unusual and fun flavors like tamarind and mango and lime). Menu is large - combination dinners, burritos, specials, fajitas and steak and pork dishes. I had the burritos verde - nice kick ask for sour cream just in case its too much heat. My husband had the burrito supreme which he really enjoyed and the teen ordered one of the combination dinners that came with a taco. He gave it a two thumbs up. We also ordered a side of guacamole - chips and salsa where brought quickly after we sat down. The salsa is step up from tomato sauce but there was plenty of hot sauce etc... to add as needed. Service was efficient and the waiter friendly. As the dinner hour progressed the phone rang regularly for take out orders. Several people walked in and placed orders to go. The dining room was filling up as we left. A popular spot for sure. This was a gem of a find and if we are out this way again we will be going back. read more

I took a break from a turnpike trip and came here for lunch, guided by Yelp reviews. I was not disappointed! I'd never had Mole Poblano (chicken in mole sauce) before. It came with guacamole and a salad, as well as rice. Delicious! I'm always happy to have real brewed ice tea. I succumbed to temptation and ordered flan for dessert. This was a very good experience overall. Service was courteous and prompt. Ambience is casual and pleasant. And very reasonable prices. read more

Rey-Azteca - Mole Poblano - Mexican Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

Pros -- cheap, clean bathrooms, yummy mole poblano, friendly staff, good take out containers and close to highway. Cons -- The carnitas were gross and fatty. Smelled so bad we pulled over to throw them out. Rest of food was edible but not great. Universal dislike of the cheese used in quesadillas. I lived in Mexico for a year so I may be a harsher critic of Mexican food. Would try something else if I were in town again. read more

Arrived for a late lunch while passing through on a road trip. Place is bright and clean. Service is prompt and friendly. Nice atmosphere. Very authentic. Chips and salsa came right out and were good. We ordered the shrimp camarons or something like that. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Would definitely come back. If u like spicy things, be sure to let them know. Our dishes were on the mild side as was the salsa. Which is fine by me. read more

Somerset like many small towns has a limited selection of eateries. However, Rey-Azteca offers numerous meal choices and the staff is friendly. The prices are great too! read more

Best mexican restaurant in Somerset! This is our go to for date nights. Their food is ALWAYS good. Service is friendly and it's always a great experience :) read more

Excellent meal. Service was Great. Portions were good. Great value. Definitely will be back. read more

Long wait for food. Hopefully that just meant it was super fresh. The food did taste good. Came out hot. Good selection of food on the menu. They even have horchata. The place was generally dirty. The blinds were covered in stuff. read more

We found Rey Aztec on Yelp. The reviews sounded good. This is about 1/2 way between my two daughters colleges. My daughters and I ate here 10/2015. Dinner was really good. The decor is a bit kitchy and that gave the place a welcoming vibe. Service was wonderful and we had a time. We met there again 2/2016. And again dinner was really good. It wasn't crowded and we hung out quite a while after dinner and the staff was always friendly even if we lingered much too long. The flavor of the margarita was spot on. The only part not 5 star was that the margarita was very weak, and too much ice. The 20oz glass was probably 10oz at most. Maybe a Mike's next time. But we will be back. Food is great!! read more

Unbelievably Good!! Very pleasant, very polite staff; prompt service; great decor; amazing food; cozy atmosphere; and just an all around excellent experience. Immediately was greeted and seated, the extremely pleasant waitress was there to introduce herself and get drinks before I even opened the menu. Free homemade chips and salsa were the best I've ever had. The inside was also super clean. Most importantly the food was perfect, perfectly cooked, expertly seasoned and really good portions. Myself and my wife eat at Mexican restaurants all the time and this was by far the best. I have no doubt that this is the best restaurant in Somerset Borough! read more

Really great Mexican food! Love my lunch burrito special. A great stop on my road trip from New Jersey to Kansas City.

This was very mediocre. Salsa was runny and bland. Their burritos and enchiladas were the same warmed up wraps. They gave me beef instead of chicken and then rushed so that the food was tepid. They definitely set a low bar for "authentic" here. Big disappointment. read more

Surprised to find Mexican in somersert. It was good and satisfies your Mexican craving

Stopped on the way home from Pittsburgh. Good food! Six of us ate and six really enjoyed our meals. Friendly fast service. Prices were good. read more

Authentic Mexican food. Classic Fajitas were okay somewhat bland, burritos verdes was awesome. Queso dip was delicious; however the chips and salsa was okay. If you are craving Mexican food, I think this is the only choice near sommerset therefore I would stop in and give it a try. read more

Rey-Azteca - Burritos verde - Mexican Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

The place is great. Definitely my favorite go to in Somerset. Everything is good and the staff couldn't be friendlier.

This place has Mexican food. There is cheese and beans and salsa. It is fresh. The wait staff is courteous and willing to make a suggestion. What kind of taco am I? Grande. Por favor. read more

Food is delish, but service when you have an issue is lacking. If you get a "to go order" make sure everything is what you ordered. Attempted twice to call about an error and could not get any help...worker could not understand what I was talking about. I will visit again, but will definitely double-check my order. read more

This place gets packed quickly for dinner so the service can sometimes lack a little. That being said, the food is great. The portions are large. I have yet to go here and leave disappointed. Everything I have tried had been delicious. When I'm traveling along the turnpike, this is a must stop every time. read more

My family and I here dined here and I most certainly would not recommend it to anyone. My sister-in-law asked for a bowl of white cheese a total of four times and I asked, twice during our meal for her! ! The waiter kept saying there was only enough cheese to go on the other foods that people were ordering and the cook could would try to fix us a bowl of white cheese sauce, if he could get enough cheese left over for us. It wasn't like we were just begging for the cheese, we were trying to purchase it with our dinner. The restaurant was not very clean. The waiter did not take care to make sure if we needed more to drink which we did. We were not made to feel welcome nor like a valued customer. If I could give a lower rating I would. read more

Somerset, unfortunately, is a land of chain restaurants. Or rather, it was, until family-owned Rey-Azteca came to town. The food isn't great, but keep in mind that out here in the sticks, standards must be lowered. I'm giving Rey-Azteca three stars for options, price, and good service. read more

if you like authentic Mexican food this is the place to go.... very good service from the staff. Cheap prices for the food, and the portions are very large, so its a nice place to take the family if you're on a budget. The only gripe i have about this place is that the alcoholic beverages you can get from the bar are way too expensive for the type of place this is, its not a night club, but a family restaurant ( chill on the price of the drinks please!!!!!!) all and all its an excellent place to go and relax and have a decent meal. read more

We live near DC and stay in Somerset when we ski at Seven Springs. We've been looking for good food here for a while now and eventually visited Rey-Azteca on the strength of the reviews here and I have to say - the 4 & 5 star reviews are spot on. This place is great! Authentic, honest Mexican food at great prices - right in downtown Somerset. Highly recommended. read more

The best Mexican food I've had in this area--infact it's some of the best I've ever had. I'm a sucker for chile rellenos, and these are the best Iv'e had. My favorite meal they serve is theGrande Especial , which should be more food than you can finish. It includes a burrito, an enchilada, a chalupa, a chile relleno, beans and rice , and nachos-a ton of food! This stuff is great! read more

My friends and I ate dinner here one night while visiting the area for Somerfest last month. We were all eager to see if the Mexican food up north was as good as it is down south. The restaurant is cozy, booths and tables, casual dining that was perfect for us after a day of sightseeing. They were fairly busy but we got a table, ordered drinks and settled in to look at the menu. Aztecas has a fabulous selection of Mexican food on their menu as well as steaks, shrimp and vegetarian dishes. We decided on chicken and beef fajitas for the group. The food was ready in no time and turned out to be fantastic! Prices are very reasonable and the service was great. If you are passing through Somerset make a point to stop in and eat, you won't regret it! read more

Nice restaurant and a great stop while traveling along I-70 if you want to avoid the chains, fast food joints, and service plazas and actually sit down for a meal. Ordered 3 soft tacos, cheese, bean and beef. The salsa (our Mexican benchmark) was great. Prices were very reasonable. Better than any DC Mexican restaurant by far (in the cheap, easy Mexican category). read more

Not authentic Mexican, but much better than Ruby Tuesday's or fast food. One of the best options for out-of-towners, which is why I'm giving it four stars (a relative rating). Plus, it has vegetarian options! If you choose your dishes carefully you'll be happy. The veggie fajitas were a big win, and my grandmother liked her chicken taco salad. OTOH the burritos and quesadillas were disappointing. read more

My wife and I were traveling and stopped here after reading some of the favorable reviews. We were most disappointed as the food and margaritas were at best fair. The carne asada consisted of a couple thin slices of dried up roast beef. The plate did not look very appetizing. The margs were on the sweeter side and geared to those who prefer a whimpy cocktail. This place is definitely not even close to being compared to authentic Mexican. It no doubt is the only game in town. Larry - Northwest Ohio read more

We drove 20 miles from Donegal to eat Mexican food. Fabulous decision. The food here was delicious! I ordered a beef soft taco with beans and rice. My husband ordered the burrito deluxe. Both meals had great flavor and were served piping hot. My favorite part of the meal was a carafe of fresh salsa on my table. Next time you could just give me an extra straw to suck down the salsa. If I am ever in the area I will come here again. read more

My husband and I visited Rey Azteca this past weekend while staying in the Somerset area. We'd heard good things about this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The service was fantastic! They were attentive and quick to bring chips and salsa, refill drinks and take our orders. The food was delicious. My husband had combination #32 and I had the Burrito Supreme. We would highly recommend them both. read more

Finally found another place to eat in Somerset! Pretty authentic. Fresh home made chips too! And low cost.

This place is AWESOME!!!! Food was fantastic, service was excellent and my Margarita was the bomb! There's not too much else here right off the TP (we're traveling between DC an PA) so this place was a nice surprise!!! read more

I absolutely love this place. The service is friendly and very quick I eat here almost every Saturday. The food is flavorful. The portions are the right size. The warm tortilla chips and fresh salsa accompany every order. If you are in Somerset and are looking for a reasonable, tasty Mexican meal this is your place. read more

We had an excellent lunch here after a long morning of snowboarding. Nice, not overly done, decor; good, quiet background music. Service was very attentive and quick. Food was delicious and was served quickly and hot. Would definitely return!! read more

Called this place since no one else was open around 9 pm after skiing the whole evening. We drove through a blizzard to reach here but IT WAS WORTH IT! The food was SO GOOD and the portions were generous ! The staff was absolutely wonderful!! Great, large margaritas and a quaint atmosphere! This is a must try for anyone in the area!! This is the definition of Mexican food you always crave !! read more

A very warm and welcoming atmosphere greeted me when I first walked into the restaurant. Even the kitchen staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was incredibly good and reminded me of what authentic Mexican food should taste like. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves real authentic Mexican cuisines. read more

Great food, ask for Alex as your waiter. He's the best. Try the Grande Especial, it's like a sampling of the best food.

Stayed in Somerset while skiing nearby and stopped in here for dinner with a group of four. I echo all the positive reviews others have provided. The restaurant had a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere with an attentive and friendly staff. All the dishes we ordered were great (I recommend the mole poblano) and the portions were very generous. The food was up there with any of the Mexican food I've had in the DC area and the prices are extremely reasonable. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in the area. read more
