We were banned from this restaurant because I complained about the size of the meat.
It's crazy but the owner thinks it's best to ban people when they complain.
The size was supposed to be 8 ounces but it was closer to 4, I even suggested bringing him 8 ounces for free from the IGA but it was a no-go.
Probably because he knows I'm right and doesn't want to admit it.
Benny thanks for the free meals today and I really hope you change your attitude towards a customer...read full review
So we went to El Rey tonight and I ordered a steak with fries, the waiter came with the plate and I saw a little peace of meat like 4 ounces, and started chewing and chewing and I could hardly get through. The waiter came and asked us if everything was ok and I tried to tell him the meat can never be 6 ounces going back and forth even showed the sheet from the butcher that says 8 ounces , anyway long story short the owner cannot take criticism and told my wife I'm no longer welcome...read full review

El Rey Mexican Restaurant is a locally family owned restaurant in Burkesville known for its great and very good Mexican food, considered by many to be the best around compared to other local restaurants. The menu has a large selection and is very affordable, with a solid selection of dishes without meat, including vegetarian options like bean burritos, rice, veggie fajitas, and salad.
Specific meals enjoyed include the carnitas plate, enchiladas rancheros with tender and flavorful pork, and chicken fajitas with well-seasoned, tender chicken. Appetizers like the guacamole, pico, and cheese dip are noted, and the salsa—both regular and a hotter version available upon request—is described as peppery and good. For dessert, the cheesecake chimichanga is a popular choice.
The service is always friendly, with nice and polite staff who provide awesome service. The atmosphere is okay, featuring booths, tables, and a big dining area, along with a full bar. It is an excellent and enjoyable place where visitors and locals alike are encouraged to stop in and check it out.
