" I’ve been spreading the word about El Rey. The food is deliciously genuine and the atmosphere is always enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed their tres leches cake, which was light and perfectly sweet. My only caveat is the wait times which can be a little extensive during peak hours. Nevertheless, the quality of the food makes it all worthwhile. It feels so nice to have such a wonderful place in our community that serves food with heart. " (*Curated Review*)

" Some friends suggested we visit El Rey, and I am so glad we did! The food was fresh and flavorful, and the tacos were packed with toppings. The homemade salsa was absolutely delicious, and I can't stop raving about it! The staff was super friendly and attentive. The only thing preventing me from giving a perfect score were some minor delays with the food, but overall it was a lovely dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! I had my birthday dinner here, and they didn’t disappoint. The staff was incredibly sweet and catered to my every need. The food was made with love, especially the tamales! I appreciated that everything is made fresh and in-house. They even let my friends set up for my surprise party without a hitch. The atmosphere was warm and lively, making the day even more special. I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to go on the weekends, as they can get quite busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rey is my favorite place to go for Mexican food locally. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I particularly enjoyed their nachos and margaritas. However, I felt that my tacos could have used more flavor. Overall, I love the vibe of this restaurant and look forward to visiting again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't often leave reviews, but El Rey deserves it! The food was delicious. I ordered the tamale platter and was amazed at the quality and taste. The service was good, though a bit slow due to how busy it was. The atmosphere felt very homey, which I appreciated. I look forward to returning and trying more items! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rey is a great restaurant with a friendly staff and delicious food. I loved the chicken enchiladas although I wish they had a bit more sauce. The homemade salsa was fantastic! I felt the portions were average, but given the price, that was fine. The dining area was cozy, and we really enjoyed our experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch here last week and everything was perfect! The tacos were incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The service was quick, and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant itself had a lovely atmosphere with some beautiful decorations. I will certainly be coming back to try more items from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
