" While I was excited to try El Rey Taqueria, I must admit the experience was a mixed bag. The quintessential Cuban sandwich I ordered lacked flavor and was significantly smaller than expected, considering the price point. However, the service was friendly and the restaurant maintained a clean and pleasant environment. I might give it another chance for the tacos as several folks highly recommended them. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I waited so long to try El Rey! I was really impressed by the variety they offered, especially the vegan options which I sampled. The service was friendly and the dining area was welcoming. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and it was tasty, though I did wish the bread was a bit crunchier. Overall, it was a positive experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" When we stepped into El Rey, we were greeted by friendly faces. The menu offered a delightful array of Cuban and Mexican dishes. I can vouch for the grits and shrimp which I found to be exquisite. The vibe was relaxed, which was appreciated after a long day. This was our first visit, but not our last! I imagine I'll be back soon to explore more options. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rey Taqueria is my go-to spot for Cuban food! Their rotisserie chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and the plantains are a must-have on the side. I also appreciate their vegan options. The restaurant has a casual vibe which I find comforting and the cleanliness is commendable. I usually order takeout, and they've always gotten my order right. Highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Cuban cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting El Rey Taqueria on Taco Tuesday was a great choice! The buy-two-get-one offer is a sweet deal that allowed us to sample a variety of tacos. The fish taco stood out as particularly tasty, and each was well-stuffed. The atmosphere was lively and inviting. The wait staff was prompt, and our orders came out quickly. An excellent outing indeed — I look forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Rey Taqueria and found it to be a delightful surprise. While the name suggest a focus on tacos, I was thrilled to discover their Cuban offerings were equally impressive. The Cuban sandwich I had was packed with flavor and the accompanying fried plantains were cooked to perfection. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. I will definitely return to try more dishes from their extensive menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" On our recent trip to El Rey, we were very impressed with how fresh everything tasted! The shrimp tacos were fantastic, and I liked the little twist they added to classic dishes. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant felt vibrant and clean, making for a pleasant experience overall. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)
