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. 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.
The restaurant offers plentiful and yummy food, with fresh and generous portions. Customers recommend the Campechana Ceviche, Carnitas and Mahi Mahi tacos. The service is friendly, attentive and professional, and the prices are quite good. However, the noise level can be high, especially on busy nights, so it's recommended to visit earlier if you prefer a quieter atmosphere.
