Top Reviews of El Rey Mexican Restaurant

06/16/2025 - Scott A.
The burritos were great, and the accompanying potato chips were excellent, though the Pizzabirria could have used more flavor, with overcooked rice and slightly sweet beans. Service was timely despite the busy takeout orders, and the salsa was notably spicy and fresh, complementing the authentic, affordable food well. The family-run atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, with cash-only payment and reasonable prices making it a convenient choice for breakfast or lunch.

very good

The burritos and potato chips were delicious, but the Pizzabirria lacked flavor with overcooked rice and sweet beans. Despite this, I would definitely give them another chance as the food was good and the salsa was flavorful. The service was friendly and efficient, and the prices were very affordable, making it a great value for authentic, local eats.
