El Rey

As a Canadian, one thing we can't get is good Mexican unless we cross the border into the United States. I was looking for a location I hadn't been yet and came across El Rey Latino restaurant. I was with my wife and one of my daughters and when we entered were greeted by very friendly staff. We were the only ones in the restaurant so were a little apprehensive but soon discovered that they were fairly new. The menu had many options from the various Latino countries. The food was delicious. It was well presented and the portions were generous. The complimentary chips salsa was very tasty. And at $1.25 a bottle for the drinks, an excellent value. I highly recommend this place. I'll certainly come back again.

Hubs and I have eaten here a few times now. Each time the people working have been very friendly and helpful. Being gluten and dairy free has not been an issue here. The only time they got hubs order wrong, putting cheese on his, they quickly made it right. I'm not sure what happened with the reviewer who said it was horrible but that hasn't been our experience. The place isn't shiny new but the food is good and the service has been exceptional. I don't work there and don't consider myself biased.

Stopped in to try this place. First off, lights at grocery store brightness and blowing cool air on a chilly evening do not make for good atmosphere. Decided to stick with Mexican offerings instead of the other Central American ones to gauge quality. Overall, underwhelming fare. I ordered a ground beef tostada and a taco. Both were so bland, with no discernible seasoning. Even my avocado tasted a bit past its prime. My wife ordered enchiladas mole and it too lacked flavor, depth, or heat. Honestly, I make better tacos at home. Considering several awesome Mexican places already in town, I don’t see a reason to return here.

What a great addition to the neighborhood! So many items on their menu but be happy they are all there because so far everything had been amazing! If a restaurant can make rice and beans tasty... Everything will be tasty! Can't forget their delicious margaritas! The picture is of the bistec encebollado, delicious strip of beef with carmelized onions and bed of rice and beans. Their complementary salsa with chips is super delicious as well but that is dine in only. Can't wait to try everything on the menu! No outdoor space just indoors.

For the price not worth it. Food was bland no seasoning I got the carne asada, could have made better at home. But the icing on the cake was the waitress, pretty sure she was on something and it was not that green. She never checked on our table once. Spent most of the time sitting in the bar on her phone I’m sorry but when the restaurant is empty and we are your only customers I expect better service. Don’t waste your time coming here go to one of the of the local Taco Trucks instead. Better service and better food. Will never be back to this restaurant.

The waitress was terrible. We were one of two tables in the place and it took forever to order and get the check. They got my order wrong. When I did get my cheese enchilada, the sauce tasted like it was from a can and the cheese was not melted. It was a tough corn tortilla with uncooked shredded cheese inside. I do not recommend.
