El Rey Restaurant & Taqueria

Although the food was super fantastic. I visited during lunch, and was looking for a quick bite. The staff didn't know English well, so any issues could have stemmed from this. Food was great. A little lunch was a whole lot. The price was higher than expected, but maybe I didn't understand. It was not very busy and it was clean. I'm willing to try again.

I got a parasite in my my food I'm so disgusted! First time ordering never ever Ever! Coming back or ordering from here so unsanitary an nasty! That dude is huge and was moving!
Also I couldn't even talk to a manager! I want to call a health inspector!

You want it real! You want it mad right? Ask for it! Get cilantro, tomatoes, avocado, onion? Ask for it! Your specifications mean Everything! Then it’s perfect. It’s legit. It’s worth every dime. This is a Chattanooga’s special “This Place” recommendation! Try real! Tell me I’m wrong. Tell me while we’re eating here.

Their food was oily, and the tortillas ripped the soup is just water
I asked for no onions and tomato, but I still got onions and tomato

I have to say this was a first for me. What am I talking about? I have traveled all over the country and grew up in Texas, but this is a first to see a Mexican restaurant that makes corn tortillas fresh every day. The best part is they make them larger than normal and healthy ingredients.

So, my cheese Enchiladas were larger than life, and I couldn't eat all of them. I was told full only eating half of the three cheese Enchiladas. Go see for yourself.

The rice was not the norm either. The flavor and vegetables in them were perfect.

Then the best part is the beans. They didn't have the traditional refried beans you see at most Mexican restaurants. No, it was packed with flavors, whole beans, and pork Weenie in the soup.

I spoke with my server, and this is a family owned business from Mexico.
I love family owned businesses, not chains.

Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes
Would I return to this restaurant? Yes

So. Don't let the negative reviews speak. Go try for yourself.

Around our payment the restaurant stole $42 out from from the actual check , I probably report this to the police but it was around at night when we noticed. if anyone go to this restaurant do not trust the waitresses and the cashier counter.

The food is decent.. not very high quality meat.

The staff are friendly and kind.

Prices are okay.

The salsa is just weird lol.. it appears to be emulsified tomatoes and smells like nothing but a taco seasoning packet from walmart, and not the good one either. It's not terrible but it's basically tons of salt chile powder mixed with tomatoes. Definitely not authentic or delicious.

The quesadillas taste pretty good minus the very low quality chicken.

If I'm near by I'll grab some quesadillas again, but that's about it.

Their chicken cheese and rice is over priced by 2-3 dollars or I would've gotten that.
