Rey Azteca

Rey Azteca is my favorite mexican restaurant in York. Also i am from central Florida where there is plenty of great Spanish food. That being said Rey Azteca has good food for reasonable prices and the service is good too. I will continue to go there.

Great food, great service, great prices. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, don’t let that scare you away! Full bar! Best tacos ever!

Having lived and traveled the world, I am a self proclaimed Mexican Food Connoisseur… I am not that picky when it comes to Mexican Food… I judge the food based on what one can purchase at the grocery store and throw together themselves at home. That being said, the refried beans tasted like a name brand canned variety, the salsa was boring, and the enchiladas were blah. Not to mention that the restaurant itself had a foul odor about it and it didn’t appear very clean. I would drive to Clover or Rock Hill before I eat here again.

Been going to Rey Azteca in York for a while now and we are unfortunately finding things going downhill as the management has changed. The noise level is incredible with blasting TVs, and when I spoke to our waiter about the screaming kids piercing our eardrums for over a half hour ruining our meal, he smiled and said: That’s just the way it is sometimes. He would not talk to the parents who sat there doing nothing with their screamers. Chicken dishes were a bit dry and chewy, and when I screwed off the hot sauce cap on the bottle on our table, the top was black with old, dried layers of sauce — the bottle necks and spouts are never cleaned… that did it! No thank you to Rey Azteca.

We found this restaurant a few years ago and this is our favorite Place to eat Mexican. The chips are usually fresh and warm and the salsa is always just right. We have several favorites and like their lunch specials 7 days a week. We live in Rock Hill, but it’s worth the trip about 4 times a month to dine here. If you like good Mexican, this is the place to go.

It was 2pm and we were desperate for something that would have gluten-​free options. Rey Azteca was the first place we saw that could accommodate.
There were a few patrons just leaving as we arrived. Service was super speedy — drinks, chips, and salsa in barely enough time to glance at the menu. They’ve got good deals on lunch specials, but I opted for the lunch chicken poblanos enchiladas with beans instead of rice. The food came out just as fast.
The salsa was fresh and bright. The chips were crispy, not too greasy, and perfectly salted. The chicken in the enchiladas was a tad dry and a tad tough, but the sauce, which was more of a mole than I was expecting was delicious enough to make up for it. The guacamole salad was definitely cut with sour cream, given away by the tang.
They’ve got happy hour specials (16oz Bud Light draft for $.99), but we had to get on the road back to Atlanta.

I’ve tried to like this place, I really have. The servers are friendly, but the food is just lacking. I’ve been here several times and I just can’t be impressed. This week, the tv was so incredibly loud I couldn’t hear my family across the table. And they weren’t impressed with the food, either.
Sadly, there just isn’t much choice in York for good Mexican food, so we just end up here time after time.
