Delicious! The food came out so fast!I had the Tuna Ceviche Tostada and Chicken Pastor Burrito. Truly flavor in every bite. The service was very attentive. Recommend having seating reservations, otherwise there is a 1.5-2 hour wait or bar seating.
El Rey really surprised us with their food. The entrance lowered our expectations since it was very minimalist. But the service, food and drinks hit the spot. We had a cozy anniversary celebration. Our kids loved the hot and fresh food. Lip smacking dishes. Friendly service. Great for a night out. A must try is the bourbon cocktail with the chili kick.
Awesome this is my 1st time going there & I love it. There was 2 bartenders & they both was nice. The food was amazing. I will be going back there again. Nice spot to chill & eat & the new bartender is cute. ????
