You will not go wrong at El Rey. This place has become a weekly staple for my family. Would recommend to anyone that loves Mexican food and fresh ingredients. I recommend the classic enchiladas, street tacos, and burritos! One of my favorite restaurants in NWA. read more

Great spot, fun vibe. The food and service was great and the drinks were even better! Well worth the drive from the south side of Springdale. read more

The only thing I ordered were the nachos. Nachos are not that difficult to make very tasty yet somehow these were very flavorless with very little toppings. It definitely needs more cheese and a pico or something for it. Our server Eddie was really great! The ambiance is inviting and cozy read more

First time visiting! A little hard to find with the busy and crowded area. Good parking and seated immediately for lunch. Great menu with lots of choices. I ended up with Huevos Rancheros as it's one of my favorites. It was made a little different than the dish made in the area Im originally from in California but it was very good! Everyone at our table loved their food and it all looked fresh and yummy! We will return! Thanks for the great service! Kudos to your kitchen and chef! read more

Not sure why my original review isn't showing but here's a summary....food was great, service was awesome and I said we'd be back... Here's my update since the first review: Went back a 2nd time for lunch and it was fantastic. Service is so good! Friendly staff, polite and quick. The restaurant is clean and I liked the TV's up. I highly recommend their skillet burrito. I had it with Carnitas and it was so good! Seasoned very well and was moist and a good quantity of meat for the price! We'll be making this spot a regular thing! read more

Had high expectations from all the reviews. I visited this place in the beginning of February and was not impressed at all. The waiter did not really know the menu and the salsa was more sweet than hot. read more

We drove by once and missed the place. It was dark, and it's off to the side in a strip mall, so easy to miss. First impressions are good, as they are clean, bright, and very open. Wait staff were polite and a did a good job. It is a Mexican restaurant, so I have to start with beer selection and chips. They have Dos XX Amber, so beer passes the test, although I wish it was on tap. Chips were warm and fresh and served with 3 different dips, salsa, tomatilla and some tomato/cream based option which was my favorite. I ordered the mixed chicken beef fajitas and they were served fast and hot. A fajita with everything mixed was good, but I like to separate the options. This was not easy as the meats and veggies were well mixed, but I succeeded. Steak was good and chicken was tender, but lacked some taste. As mentioned above, when mixed together it was good. Well worth a stop as the food was good but the prices were even better. 13.99 for fajitas. read more

Back again, and even better than the last time! We love this place Our new favorite‼ read more

Best Tex Mex in NWA! Loved the Mexican short ribs and great chips and salsa. You get three salsas and like any authentic Mexican restaurant, the chips and salsa are complimentary. Definitely order some queso though! It's delicious! It's clean and we always have good service. Everyone is friendly and the location is easily accessible with good parking. read more

Today was my second day coming to el Rey bar and grill and I'm really disappointed on how much things have change, I came in last year when they had barely opened and I really loved the flavors of the food and queso, and they had really great service, but this time was different, food it's not the same it had a plain taste and service was bad, I waited for 30 min for my food to taste plain. Not coming back for sure. read more

2nd time to visit - Both times we've had excellent food, great service, very nice atmosphere! Definitely will be back!

We are new to the area and have been looking for a local Mexican place that has some less spicy options. El Rey hit the spot. We had Tostados, a Torta and plain Queso, and all were quite tasty, and obviously fresh. Our waitress, Gabriela, was attentive and very nice to explain menu items. El Rey is fairly new with new seating but the decor needs a local flair to match the great food and service. Perfect family spot and a great value. read more
