Our Story

Welcome to El Rey Azteca Mexican Restaurant, where every dish tells a story 🌮! Nestled in the heart of Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania, our journey began in 2010 with just two humble tables and a passion for sharing the vibrant flavors of Mexico with our community. From those modest beginnings, we've grown into a lively gathering place with 35 tables, each one filled with good vibes and even better company.

Our story is one of love and dedication to crafting homemade Mexican cuisine that warms the soul. We believe that food isn't just about sustenance; it's a way to connect with one another and celebrate life's moments. With dishes like our mouthwatering tacos, indulgent Mayan Burrito, sizzling Mocagete Campesino, classic Enchilladas, and the fiery El Brasero, every bite is a journey to the heart of Mexico.

But El Rey Azteca is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of culture and community. We take pride in being a vehicle for sharing the rich tapestry of Mexican traditions with our guests. Whether you're joining us for a birthday celebration, trying your luck at Mexican Loteria, or capturing memories with Aztec dancers on Cinco de Mayo and Mother's Day, there's always a reason to smile and savor the moment.

Our founders' vision was simple: to create a space where friends and families could come together to enjoy good food and good company. Despite a few moves along the way, our commitment to that vision has never wavered. Today, El Rey Azteca stands as a testament to the power of passion and perseverance.

So come on over and join the fiesta! Whether you're a longtime regular or a first-time visitor, we can't wait to welcome you into the El Rey Azteca family. Let's make memories and share stories over plates of delicious Mexican fare. Because here, every meal is a celebration 🎉!
