Based on reviews, El Rey Mexican Restaurant offers a pleasant dining experience with excellent customer service and friendly staff. The food is seriously delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Highlights include the warm, fresh chips, the best ever taco pastor, yum green chili verde enchiladas, and perfectly seasoned shrimp with a hint of butter. The burrito was good, and the rice was perfectly fine. However, some items were inconsistent. The salsa selection was hit-or-miss, with a unique flavor profile for the orange and chipotle varieties. The tacos could use refinement, and the chile relleno was stuffed with runny American cheese. One order included a completely soggy quesadilla. While the food tasted really good, some felt it was not worth the price paid. The margaritas were tasty, and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing. Service can vary, with one experience described as horrible and disrespectful, while others found the staff wonderful and awesome. Overall, it is a spot for a consistently great time, though some customers may not return.
