Their tacos are so gross with the sauce choice 🤢 the space can be better used by a different restaurant

We like this place so much that we had our wedding reception here! The food is consistently delicious, they were extremely responsive and flexible vendors, and the margaritas were amazing. We look forward to continuing to celebrate memorable moments at El Rey (though hopefully no more weddings! 😀) Thank you to Andy and the rest of the team who helped!!!

I went there for a wedding so we had the whole restaurant. The tacos were good and the service is very friendly. But they acoustic made the place so noisy that it was very difficult to talk.

Great, hidden away Mexican restaurant. Everyone was very friendly and the food and drinks were good. I recommend it.

I would recommend the place except for the service. They were just this side of rude. Slow to wait on people and short and unhelpful when they did show up. My tacos were wonderful and my strawberry margarita tasty, but I prefer more helpful and professional service.

Didn’t love the food or the drinks. Everything was a bit bland and pricey for what we got. The second star was for ambiance; it has a nice large patio for summer nights and usually isn’t too crowded.

This place is a perfect example of why automatic 20% gratuities should be rethought. While the bill was nearly $200, our waiter—who was rude, inattentive, and rarely around—still added a 20% tip. We were there celebrating a friend’s birthday, and the poor service made the experience all the more disappointing. After nearly 15 years in the service industry, I know that tips are earned, not guaranteed. This place clearly doesn’t share that standard.

HUGE fan of the pay per taco style. I really enjoy being able to tailor my portion sizes depending on my hunger level. Definitely coming back just for that (and, of course, the delicious baja fish taco 😊)

I was surprised this wasn't rated higher. The tacos were great and taco Tuesday made it even better. 3 tacos for $10 that were a very large portion compared to other street tacos. Will definitely be back ! Fast service and allow you to order by QR code so no waiting for servers unless you want to
