" I had a delightful experience at El Rey! The atmosphere was lively, perfect for catching up with friends. We ordered several different tacos; the birria tacos, in particular, reminded me of home-cooked meals. The staff was incredibly attentive, offering great recommendations. It was slightly pricier than I expected, but the quality of food made up for it. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try El Rey after being recommended by a friend. It did not disappoint! Although the ambiance was casual, the quality of the dishes was top-notch. Their al pastor tacos were tender and flavorful, and the ceviche was remarkably fresh. Highly recommend booking a table as it gets busy. We will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This lovely little restaurant has become one of my favorites! The ambiance is always so warm and inviting. The guacamole and chips are to die for. It's also great that they offer several gluten-free options, which I appreciate. Slightly expensive but worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rey was exactly what I needed! Great cocktails and friendly staff made our evening enjoyable. We sampled different tacos and even shared a few appetizers. While everything tasted good, some dishes definitely stood out; like the aguachile. The pricing felt reasonable given the quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want great tacos in a friendly vibe, El Rey should be on your list. Their craft cocktails were a nice touch to complement our taco platter. We had a really enjoyable evening, although the wait for our food was longer than expected. It's affordable for the quality provided, and I appreciate their efforts in ensuring gluten-free options.

" A bit overrated in my opinion. The food was decent, but I didn’t find anything to be exceptional about the flavors. The atmosphere was lively, though it's popular so be prepared for crowds. The service was average at best, and I felt somewhat ignored until we ordered. I appreciate their efforts towards authenticity, but it didn’t hit the mark for me personally. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Rey was pleasant. I enjoyed the food, and the atmosphere was great for a casual date night. The guacamole and chips stood out to me. The only downside was that some tacos were slightly bland, but overall, it was enjoyable. The staff treated us very well. " (*Curated Review*)
