El Rey is a pretty consistent place to get good Mexican food. It’s not extremely authentic but it’s good. Their quesadillas and nachos are my favorite.

We only had queso and a few drinks… so not sure how the food tasted. Our server was good too. But the part that turned me and my fiancé off was their language and how they were talking to their employees. I don’t speak a lot of Spanish but my fiancé’s first language is Spanish. But we were sitting at the bar (where they were gathered) and I guess they didn’t think we understood what they were saying. But the owner and manger were talking very demeaning to their female employees and using a lot of bad language. Very unprofessional.

I cannot begin to explain our experience here. We come here very often and love the food and have had nothing but good experiences, but tonight was horrible. Not one single order was right at our table and we informed the server of this (very politely) and she was so rude and let us know that if we wanted our food to be correct, I would need to go talk to the kitchen about it (?) she was so disrespectful to the point that my husband had to call the manager over to settle this. We saw several tables she was waiting on and none of their orders were correct either. We still had to pay for our meal even though it was horrible and received no apology. The worst experience at a restaurant we’ve ever had.

This was the WORST restaurant I have ever been to in my life. Do NOT go. Our group (of 5) all bought margaritas that had ZERO alcohol in it. A table next to us sent their margaritas back, and when we asked them what their problem was they also said there was no alcohol in their drinks. We told management and they did (try) to accommodate us, done very poorly. 1 shot of tequila brought for each of us, when we all ordered jumbo margaritas which should include way more tequila for 24 ounces of juice. They gave us 1/2 ounce of tequila for 24 ounces of juice. Our service was terrible. To top it all off, we were a group of 5 that got charged gratuity to each check when the sign at the front says 6 or more. When we asked them while paying for our ticket, the guy at the front said “well the server must have added it to your checks.” Our server must have added gratuity because we had them visit our table a total of 3 times while at the restaurant for 2 hours. Overall this was the most unprofessional and unsatisfactory restaurant I’ve ever been to. I have personally been a waitress for 2 years and I know when customers are being unreasonable, and this was not that.

I ordered the chicken chimichanga. The shredded chicken was edible, but dry and bland. The cheese dip they say they cover dishes with looks and tastes like melted kraft singles. It is not the normal blanca cheese dip. Everything was just okay. There are much better Mexican places in Auburn. I was with a group. Everyone left food on their plates and no one asked for to-go boxes. Also, someone in the restaurant had a birthday and they do thing whole horrible birthday song with Sombrero. Not particularly my vibe.

I drank my first margarita (it was delicious, but did lack the cheap tequila punch you hope for with a discount margarita) and ordered a second. Before I took a sip, I noticed something in my drink so I fished it out and found a bug frozen in an ice cube. I had them take that one off my bill and they offered me a new drink, but I’m guessing they all use the same ice so I really didn’t feel like that would address the issue. Food was reasonable, but I was just done….

If you’re ever in Auburn this is the perfect spot to stop at! The staff is extremely friendly, (Mckenly and jasmine are my favorite servers ). And the specials are unbeatable!! I took pictures because they are too good not to share!

Food brought to table, after waiting a long time, one dish was wrong, one had a rellano that was too tough to cut or eat, and one dish was missing it’s tortillas

The food was good. I love how many different items were on the menu that I don’t see at most Mexican restaurants, which was amazing! Had a Hawaiian margaritas which was delish! Definitely will go back
