El Rey is a popular restaurant that has been a go-to spot for locals since 2016. The drinks are delicious, and the nachos are a standout menu item, with customers raving about their amazing flavor. While the vibe of the place has slowed down a bit over the years, it remains a great spot for conversation and catching up, with big TVs showing the game.
The pescado taco is a highlight, with its flavorful and wonderfully cooked fish. However, some customers have been disappointed by the bogo adobo chicken tacos, finding the chicken to be mushy and flavorless. The restaurant also received some criticism for the women's bathroom and the parking situation.
Overall, El Rey offers a fun and casual atmosphere, with a menu that features some standout dishes like the nachos and pescado taco. The 3 tacos for $10 deal on Tuesdays is also a great value.
