My husband and I walked by El Rey Latino many times and we didn't pay attention to them due to their humble exterior. Their reviews on yelp are also not outstanding but they are one of the most popular restaurants on seamless for delivery. It's Cinco de Mayo today so we decided to have Mexican food for dinner. We ordered Bistec Huarache ($10.45), Carne Enchilada Quesadilla ($9.1), Calamari Fritos ($9.9) and 3 Leches Cake ($4.7). We scheduled to have delivery at 6:00pm and they were really on time. Overall, their food was decent and our favorite was the 3 Leches Cake. It was super creamy, sweet but not greasy at all and will be the reason we order again or visit shortly.

Mexican Latin restaurant in Forest Hills. Mexican homemade comfort food. Roasted pork, chicken tacos, empanadas, oxtail, different stews, smoothies,juice. Everything you need for home meal you can find there taste amazing and price is great.

Al pasta taco and beef empanada
Dominique B.

I have never been in here, but order food from here all the time. The tacos are so good. My go to are always tacos and empanadas. I ordered a gordita once that was good, but mainly stick to what I know and love. Their carne asada, al pastor and chorizo tacos are my go tos. I always get a beef empanada too, a little greasy, but still delicious. The prices are reasonable and the delivery is always fast. I recommend it. Follow me on instagram at @ms_new_foodie and Tik Tok @msnewfoodie for more restaurant recs and reviews.

Maduros (large) - great as a midnight snack lol
Essie L.

This review is just for their maduros. Soooo good. I could just eat them and nothing else. I actually drove more than 30 minutes one night just to get maduros from this place. Yes, most Latino restaurants serve them, but not all serve good ones. Theirs are always the right ripeness, so they're sweet and sometimes gooey. So good!

Chilaquiles
Ana C.

Just when I thought I couldn't find a nice spot that reminds me of home (Los Angeles) where in every other corner you find delicious Mexican meals, I found it! This location is the cutest and the most comforting to me (a non-local). It makes me feel at home and their menu choices are spot on! I ordered chilaquiles verdes and a torta of huevo con jamón. Chilaquiles verdes are rare for restaurants to offer, to be honest, and not my favorite, but I was craving chilaquiles so why not. They were delicious as you have an option to choose your protein (beef or chicken). I went with chicken. The chilaquiles did need a bit of salt BUT salt is one thing that humans can add to taste. This was not a deal breaker for me as they are well served! The torta de jamón brought tears to my eyes because they make them exactly like my mom would. The torta is quiet big and it has avocado, lettuce, tomato, jam, jalapeño, a bit of beans and other delicious ingredients. This was my fave pick of the two. Service was quick and friendly. This location is so clean too. So far, probably the cleanest I've seen in New York. I definitely recommend order for pick in person and or walk in order then wait in your car. I'm giving this place a 4 but I will be revisiting and may up date my review at a later time. This is authentic Mexican food. Mexican check.

full chicken

I wanted to try this place for a while and finally got to today. Got in at exactly 1:00pm and there were only 3 tables of people and 1 other person ordering take out for a total of 5 customers and a ton of people in the kitchen. Ordered the pernil lunch special and asked about the chicken lunch special. I asked if it was 1/2 a chicken and the lady said yes. So I said ok let me have that and she said oh well that is the meal then. So I asked again what does the lunch special have then and she said 1/4 a chicken. So... a 1/4 chicken lunch special is $7.25 but the regular meal is $6.95. The math just doesn't add up... But anyways ended up just ordering a full chicken by itself. As we stood there waiting for the food. Noticed the plates all the customers had were huge... Like family sized platter huge. Definitely not the same portion size that you get for take out. Got our food and I asked for extra green sauce. The lady said the sauce doesn't come with it and how many did I want. How weird is that? I asked for 2, but I probably should've gotten 6. Got home and noticed the chicken was super small. 1/2 of a chicken is basically the size of a 1/4 chicken you get at Peruvian places. Also stupid me, I went against my gut and ordered this knowing that this was a Mexican/Spanish place... Anyways fine the chicken was super small, more of a cornish hen than a chicken. What sucks is the the chicken was sooooo overcooked. The dark meat was so dry. The white meat, well I don't think I even need to get into it. In all honesty I have no idea if flavor wise it was good, but I have to say it was the worst roast chicken I have ever had in my life. The Pernill was decent. The pork was dry but pretty tasty. Definitely needs sauce. The rice was pretty decent and so were the plantains. Willing to give this place another shot but I'm going to listen to my gut and only order tacos or burritos.

Carnitas Taco
Paula C.

Hi everyone and anyone, I Just wanted to share this photo here since they don't really have a costumer service email or nothing at all to take care of any complaint, here is a photo of a rock found on my carnitas taco! I'm lucky I didn't brake a tooth with it. Please be careful when eating here, and aware of the rude staff.

Rude to anyone who doesn't look like THEM. Overpriced undercooked food with unnecessary wait times.

Tacos were pretty good and really filling. Chicken Tinga tacos was pretty good and very savory. The empanadas were also pretty good.

Ordered 4 of the same meals, came out to $100. One had dietary restriction- no egg, no pork, no sausage. The other had an allergy restriction- no egg. The reminder orders were good. The dietary one, had egg in it!!! I had to check the allergy one before I gave it to the person for fear we would need an epiPen. Luckily but still cautious, we didn't. The dietary one couldn't eat the food though, it was given away to a homeless person. We were too far in another city by the time we released the mistake on foods, hence why I said check everything. The taste: it lacked flavor. The best thing on the plate was the Maduros (sweet plantains), avocado, and that green sauce (which they only give small containers for purchase). Would I recommend? Not really. If in a pinch maybe.

My girlfriend and I ordered food from this place since it was recommended from my best friend! We…read moreordered 4 mixed fried rice to take home! The lady in front was very kind and helpful! On one of the rice orders, we asked for no egg! However, all the orders had egg! Once we tasted it, we felt it was missing more flavor! All the proteins in the fried rice was missing seasoning! Not sure if they were relying on the green sauce that came with it which was mediocre at best! Don't think we will be returning to this location! We may try the other location!

It's a fairly large restaurant. We ordered cocktails, few tapas and the steak. I would've ordered another entree but they were out of dish after dish that I would've tried.. well it turned out to be enough food since the omelette dish was so dense and I filled up on bread. The best dish was the shrimp with garlic tapa which I usually wouldn't bother ordering but I've already tried most of the menu. Lots of garlic. Really tasty ..dipped the oil with the bread. We were sitting there for a while, waiting for our drinks and other food but nothing came out so I wanted more bread since I was starving. My first meal that day. One the guys brought more bread for us quickly. The steak and omelette finally came. I would never order the omelette dish but L wanted to try it and it was tapas Tuesday so there was a slight discount. Very bland. Not enough egg, too much potato, very dry so we spooned a lil of the garlic oil from the shrimp dish and it helped a lot. I had a lil but L ate the rest. Salad was good but it was overdressed. The steak was a lil bit bloody in the middle even though we ordered it medium so it wasn't as good as we had it before. We still didn't get our cocktails because the bartender lady kept making margaritas which were only $5 that day instead of our $17 drinks. Someone came past 7:30pm and our waitress said he was gonna make our drinks. The drinks were pretty good but we already finished our food. Usually I would have ordered one of each cocktail at Sala but I was full and had other places to go. The slow service and the unavailability of certain dishes has impacted my recommendation to others but I still like the drinks here and we did enjoy the gambas tapa dish a lot..
