El Rey Mexican Kitchen & Bar is a perfect place for brunch! They have the coolest vibes! The decorations are superb and make the environment so much better. The food is to die for. Every single dish was on point! The staff are fun and friendly. Be sure to check out their bar area! Amazing colorful cocktails! Be sure to order their cocktails they are a must! I highly recommend their Chilaquiles and their desserts! Anytime I go I always have a great experience.

Such a great little place. Love Mexican food. Nice layout of restaurant with bar area and dinning room. I sat in dinning room. Restaurant wasn’t very busy but it was afternoon on a Tuesday. Good selection of beers and drinks available. Music ambiance is Mexican culture music very nice. Not loud as someone else mentioned. Tons of hot sauce choices available at every table. I ordered enchiladas and 1 super taco. With two beers bill was $37. Way too much food for one but I had to try it. Definitely will be coming back. Service was totally fine. Very pleasant and they helped me with menu. I saw nothing to say don’t recommend. Great spot.

My wife and I decided we wanted to have mariscos for an early dinner/late lunch (3PM). We were greeted and seated immediately. Drink orders were prompt. Food was served exceptionally quick. Our server continuously checked on us frequently. Food was very delicious. This was our first time trying El Rey, but definitely not our last. I would recommend this to anyone who likes Mexican prepared seafood or wanting to try it.

We live nearby and watched as businesses fell victim to the pandemic. This restaurant continued to have a strong following, so we came and tried it and loved it.

Under new management! New manager new menu. The restaurant dining room and bar have also received a new look and feel. The dining area is very comfortable and relaxing. During one of our ceviche lunch breaks, we learned about their new menu and hours. Yes, They are now open for breakfast. This is our favorite spot for mariscos and now for breakfast! Yes they have a fantastic breakfast check out the pictures. Once I noticed Birria options for breakfast I was eager to try. It was delicious and didn’t disappoint. Let me add that the staff is top notch. Very friendly and attentive. It’s was also nice to meet the new manager and hear about his impressive resume and goals for the restaurant. He’s making it very difficult for us to go anywhere else. Check it out. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Small little spot that you may not notice at first because the outside of the building might not be eye catching but remember to never judge a book by its cover. Inside it is fresh and remodeled. The staff is friendly always making sure you are enjoying your meal. The food is delicious. The Molcajete de Mar y Tierra was great and a good portion. Having grown up on Mexican food I find it hard to find a Mexican food restaurant that is ever want to visit more than once but this is definitely the place. Definitely a place to stop and visit if you want Mexican food. They even do brunch on the weekends.

I wanna start by saying this place needs to hire new employees ! I asked our waitress what this mans name that was screaming rudely to the employees. She said “Adrian” ! I asked if he was the owner she said no ! I really do wish I could speak to the owner About this man very unprofessional ! I came in Saturday 8-12 with my husband and 2 other friends . There was a fight that started with the employees very very unprofessional! Left a bad taste in my mouth The food cold! The drinks had too much alcohol . I give this place 1 year before it closes down ! I was reading the other reviews and they only answer to the good reviews . And I can see the good reviews were probably from people they pay to give them good reviews ! Because this place is horrible bad customer service bad management and bad food!!
