    Great fast food that doesn't taste like fast food. Homemade and hot every time! So fresh and the service is amazing as well.

    El Rey Sol Mexican Restaurant - Quesa birria

    Wide variety of items to choose from. Staff is very friendly, it's cozy not loud. Can get busy…read moreduring lunch times, but rather than selecting a dish buffet is an option. You can't go wrong with the buffet THEY HAVE TEXAS STYLE BRISKET .

    So.. depending on your vibe, when you think small town.. most of us either go for brand name places…read moreto eat or we go for the "hole in the wall diamonds" El Rey Sol was no exception to this concept. We drove past this place more than a few times, but decided to give it a shot.. I'm honestly kicking myself for not trying it the first time. So let's start from the top.. 1. Salsa was on point! Delicious and had a good amount of heat. We ordered the queso as well. Not bad, needs a little more seasoning, but it was good! 2. My gf bad the quesa birria..soo good!! Cheese and meat were loaded in the tortillas! The consume has so much flavor! So wonderful! 3. I ordered the signature dish, El Rey Sol plate. My only complaint I could give would be the beans and rice. The beans had an off taste to them.(maybe add bacon fat?) The rice seemed a little overcooked, but the flavor was still there. A little salsa on them and BAM! They were right back in the game! The Enchilada, taco, and tostada were excellent. The chili relleno was delicious! I got mine with cheese, and omg it was loaded!!! Lastly.. the star for me was the tamale.. I haven't had one better than El Rey Sol since Delia's in South Texas. I could smash a dozen of them by myself! Top it all off with amazing and knowledgeable staff members.. just a wonderful dining experience. We will 1000% be back very soon!!
