" What a letdown! I had heard so many good things about El Rey, but my experience was far from stellar. The burrito I ordered was less than impressive; it was mostly rice with minimal meat, which left me feeling unsatisfied. The staff was friendly enough, but the service was slow, and my order was wrong! Given the price, I expected better quality and attention to detail. Hopefully, they can improve because I'd love to give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco Tuesdays at El Rey are a local treasure! The deals they offer make it affordable, and the quality doesn’t drop. It's always a lively atmosphere and a great place to meet friends. I’ve fallen in love with their green salsa, which adds a punch to the tacos. Just remember, it can get a little busy, so plan accordingly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit, I leave El Rey pleasantly full and satisfied. The food brings great flavors and truly feels home-style, which is a plus in my book. Love how they incorporate fresh produce. I typically get tacos, and they’re always a good size for the price. The only drawback has been occasional slow service when it’s busy. Otherwise, it remains as one of my favorite casual dining spots! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing many good things, I tried El Rey recently, and it did not live up to the expectations. My cheese enchiladas were overly salty, and service felt flaky at best. There was an interesting selection on the menu, but this restaurant needs improvements in food preparation and quality checks. Probably won’t be recommending this place anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t believe El Rey has become my go-to for work lunches! Their menu offers a wide variety of options to pick from, and you can’t go wrong with any of the taco selections. Flavorful and satisfying without breaking the bank, which is nice for a working professional. I particularly love how they maintain the authenticity of the flavors. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I never thought I could find authentic Cuban food like the one served at El Rey! Each time I visit is a delightful experience. The staff is friendly and the food is always fresh, meeting my cravings perfectly. Their tacos are so satisfying and portion sizes are generous for the price. This is definitely a place to bring friends and family; everyone will love it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed doesn’t even cut it for my recent meal at El Rey. I ordered a chicken burrito expecting soft flavors and what I got was dry and tasteless. It felt like I paid a premium for lackluster food. The environment was nice, but food should be the highlight. I've given my last chance, and sadly, I'll be moving on to other places.
