El Rey is a cozy restaurant with cheerful service and prompt food delivery. The guac trio, especially the pomegranate one, is a hit. The brisket quesadilla, similar to dirty brisket tacos, impresses with its unique smoky chipotle sauce. The Oaxacan old fashioned is amazing. The music, a mix of Mexican and punk rock, adds to the experience. Good quality chips and salsa, not spicy. Customers describe the restaurant as cute and festive, with a welcoming staff and nice atmosphere. The food is delicious, with large or just-right portions, and excellent value for the price. The guacamole is amazing, and the chicken enchiladas and churros are also enjoyed by customers. Overall, El Rey is a great place for a meal, with excellent service and tasty food options.
