Great drink. The EL REY is a must-have. Food was good. I had the skirt steak and it was cooked perfectly and had great taste. I recommend trying this place out. I will be going back.

Went for Taco Tuesday. It was very good. I suggest ordering water to drink because they charge $5.00 for a coke. It's unreal what restaurants are charging for drinks. My 2 kids and I, to drink here cost $14.00. The food is good and their salsa is great but won't really be back for the cost. If you can afford it and don't mind cost of things, you will thoroughly enjoy this food.

Only 4 stars because I have only had Taco Tuesday tacos! I give those 5 stars. Chios & salsa 5 stars. And the cocktails 5 stars!!
I get the old fashion & they smoke the glass!!! I love the flambé herb stick too!!! It’s been 3 years we have come to their bar. Love the bartenders too.
