Been to many Mexican restaurants, but this one is on top of the list. Both fish and chicken tacos were delicious. The nachos were fantastic and my favorite was the Mexican salad. So simple yet so fresh. The only thing I’d say: this restaurant is not very conversation friendly, music and people are loud but the vibes are vibing!! More important than talking (at least for me)

This restaurant is absolutely my favorite! The staff was amazing and so attentive with our orders. Hands down the best Mahi-Mahi tacos I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be coming back regularly. I’m from out of town and honestly wish I lived closer—this place is that good! 😄🌮

This is my first visit to El Rey. I was in town for work with a colleague and grabbed dinner. The decor looks like a retro restaurant and atmosphere has a cozy vibe. It was a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was about half full with the bar seats occupied. They offer a Happy Hour menu with apps and drinks from 4-6pm. I ordered the Hibiscus Margarita. It was more juice and ice with some tequila. The Guacamole, Salsa and chips were very good. I had the Chille Relleno (only one served) which is my go to Mexican dinner. It was served with Black Beans and Cilantro Rice. I'm used to this dish being served with Tortillas to sop up the sauce or make tacos. Overall, a good experience.🌮🥑🍹

El rey's restaurant was a fantastic experience. This place was like stepping back in time. The atmosphere is incredible. Friendly staff food was very good. We had chicken enchilada, chicken fajitas, and plantains. They also had a bottled Mexican Coke. The food was good, but I would have guessed that the portions would have been a little beggar would probably be my only knock on the place, but besides that, it was a lot of fun, we enjoyed going and talking. And just simply looking around, the place. It has a lot of old articles and newspapers on the walls, and not to mention it was incredibly cheap for the 2 of us we only spent about $50. Definitely highly recommend checking it out.
