" Really enjoyed my meal at El Rey! The chicken was wonderfully flavored. I appreciated the variety of fresh salsas that added an exciting twist to the chicken and the beans. The only downside was the service felt a bit slow. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for a fun night out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The chicken was good, but I wasn’t blown away. The rice tasted a bit undercooked, and my burrito had too much grease. I expected better based on the hype. Service was average; they forgot my friend's order, which made the meal less enjoyable. Might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here tastes very authentic and hits the spot for Mexican cravings! Got the whole chicken to go and it was so delectable! The only downside is that the sides are somewhat small in comparison, but they make up for it with flavor. Definitely a place to revisit, especially for their chicken. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! We came here on a whim and left full and satisfied. The grilled chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sides of rice and beans perfectly complemented the main dish. The homemade salsas were stunning—bursting with flavor! I also loved the casual, welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely return for more delicious food! Highly recommend the family meal for value. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ordered takeout for a birthday celebration and it was amazing! The chicken was juicy and the variety of salsas gave it a nice kick. However, I wish I had more beans and rice as they didn't last long with my group. The only downside was that it took a bit longer than expected to prepare, but the food was worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at El Rey! The chicken was as good as it gets, and the rice was flavorful. The beans though were among the best I've ever had. Kudos to the chef! Service needs a bit of work, as our waitress was overwhelmed and the order took a while. Still, I’d recommend it for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried it after hearing good things. The chicken was decent but needed a little more seasoning to elevate it. The beans, however, were a hit! The atmosphere was a little noisy during my visit, but it was still a nice place with friendly staff. I may return in hopes of a more flavorful experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)
