" We stopped by El Rey after hearing about it from friends, and it did not disappoint. The variety of tacos was impressive, and the salsas were a delightful touch! I had the chorizo tacos, which were bursting with flavor. Service can be a bit slow when busy, but the food made up for it. Planning to bring the whole family here next time! " (*Curated Review*)
