Came to El Ray with my bestie and was given EXCEPTIONAL service by Jeremy. We were very well taken care of — someone give this man a RAISE.

Birria was so good I had to splash some on my shirt to save for later. thankfully, the amazing staff came through with some club soda and soapy cloth and rescued me.

Their collaboration beer with burdock, Lagerita Con Mezcal, is easily one of the best beers I’ve ever had in my life.

El Rey Mezcal Bar – Kensington Market, Toronto

Sunny Sunday in Kensington Market, and we found ourselves on the patio at El Rey. We had our pup with us, and the staff were on top of it—water was brought out right away without us even asking. That kind of attention goes a long way.

A fast two margaritas, guac and chips, and we were happy, happy, happy. Then came the ceviche—bright, with just the right amount of heat. Great flavours.
