" I had high hopes for this restaurant based on recommendations, but unfortunately, I didn't find the food to have the authentic flavor I was expecting. While the tortas ahogadas were decent, they missed that genuine taste from back home. The service was pretty slow too, and it seemed like they were understaffed. I might give it another chance, but only if I’m in the area and in no rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" I only had a chance to take out food from Tortas Ahogadas El Rey, but it was delightful! I tried the chiles rellenos and some tacos, which were fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly, and the wait was reasonable for the quality of food received. I can't wait to try next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I couldn't resist giving Tortas Ahogadas El Rey a try after hearing friends rave about it. I was particularly excited about the tacos de canasta and they didn't disappoint — very good! However, they could use more seasoning to elevate the flavor. The decor was pleasant but nothing too fancy. The service left much to be desired as my order took longer than expected. Overall, worth a visit, but I wouldn't make this my top choice for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dinner at Tortas Ahogadas El Rey last night. The service was quick, and the food arrived hot and delicious. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were fantastic! Juicy, flavorful, and bursting with authenticity. I loved the vibrant atmosphere and enjoyed the music playing in the background. I would recommend this place to anyone searching for quality Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Tortas Ahogadas El Rey. The flavors of the food are definitely authentic, taking me back to my days in Jalisco. The tortas were great, especially with the spicy salsa they offer. On the downside, my service experience was less than stellar, as I had to wait quite a bit for my order. The ambiance is pretty casual, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the food. I plan to revisit but hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just discovered Tortas Ahogadas El Rey last week! Finally tried their famous tortas ahogadas and they lived up to the hype! The flavors were rich and the spices were spot on. The service was friendly, but they were a bit slow. The restaurant had a nice vibe, making it a pleasant place to have lunch. I will surely be returning for more of their delicious food!
