   The restaurant was very nice but the deals for happy hour were a joke. Normal taco prices are 3 for $13. Happy Hour prices were priced $4. So if you got 3, you only saved a dollar. Don’t expect to save any money going during happy hour. Taco sizes are very small. Took two bites to finish.

   I don’t usually leave reviews but I had a great experience at El Rey today. I reserved a table for 5 but when we got there, it seemed like they didn’t have big tables available. We were disappointed at first, due to the waiting, but once we got seated, we received great service. Everyone was very kind to us but Anthony, specifically, was absolutely amazing! The food was great as always. Thank you El Rey!

   The food was outstanding and ambience was lovely. Could have used a few more servers but overall it was a great experience.

   The food and service were great! My biggest issue is my table ordered a pitcher of margaritas for 3 of us to share and we could even each get 2 8oz glasses from the pitcher. The price was wildly out of line with the value.

   we have been over here a few times and the last two times Anthony who I am assuming he's the manager has been absolutely wonderful. Last night was my birthday and he made sure that we had a great time! Can't recommend this place enough!!!
