First time and the margaritas were excellent! Food was good, service was perfect. Definitely will be back soon!

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

Always top notch! One of the best restaurants around! They came highly recommended and didn't disappoint.

Quick service and excellent food! Portions are good size and fresh. Staff was attentive and helpful read more

The food was phenomenal, and the staff were helpful and friendly. Not to mention the decor, it was decorated far better than Las Fajitas (for example). I went with my family for lunch and no one had any complaints whatsoever, which rarely happens with us, so I give them an 11/10. Definitely recommend!! read more

Our first time here. The quality of craftsmanship and atmosphere is fantastic. Everything is fresh and the service impeccable. We are adding this to our regular go-to spots. 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

Lowell needs this spot! Great food, great atmosphere, great service. The staff was very friendly. Had the pork enchiladas in the Salsa Verde. Excellent! Flavor, texture, and presentation were all on point! 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

This is our new go to Mexican food restaurant! The dishes are so flavorful and authentic, the service is personal and quick, and the ambiance is great! The seasoning and flavors of the food is just perfect. Everyone is always so friendly when we go in! 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

Really great food and fresh. Quiet place so you can talk. I've been a few time and really enjoy it.

Great prices and great service. Taco Tuesday destination moving forward. Can't beat $2 taco and $1 Busch Light.

Wonderful food and amazing service! We were a large party of 9, that included 6 kids and we ALL loved our first dinner there! We will most definitely be back! read more

First of all the chips and salsa yummy!!!! The enchiladas was delicious.. but I have to say the service was on point and very nice then to top it off the Raul is very kind and accommodating.. read more

Great food. Great service. Very nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. I can't wait to go back and trying something else off the menu. read more

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
