    Beef Flank burrito
    Stephanie L.

    Not a bad price, food is decent. I was a little disappointed that the chicken tinga burritos did not come with beans as this wasn't mentioned on the menu. The beef flank burrito was tasty, the chicken one could've used a bit more flavor. I would order from here again

    Saturday Mexicana breakfast
    Hitesh N.

    Perfect Mexican brunch place. It's a small family run business. I think the entire family is behind the counter. We were here on a Saturday for brunch. Coffee was good. Placed order and got seated. Food portions were great. Food is prepared fresh in front of you. Beauty of open kitchen. The place was not very crowded. Very surprising. The food was so good and delicious. Could see delivery guy take orders out of the restaurant. Ambience had lot of Mexican touch and Spanish music played in the background. Nice chilled out place with good food. Will definitely come back.

    mexican corn!! yes
    Lexa S.

    I like me some shrimp burrito!! Very decent size and very full afterwards. The mexican corn is amazing!! Meals are always prepared in about 15 minutes which is clutch. Only downside for me is I'm not in love with either of the sauces, one has a ton of heat without a ton of flavor and the other is pretty decent just not in love with the flavor. I also don't love that they only accept cash. Kinda lame. Otherwise I'm a happy camper.

    Al pastor taco

    Nachos Azteca= 8.0 out of 10 - Very busy entree. The best part of it would have to be the perfectly charred chips. The cactus goes very well with the overall dish as well. Many ingredients and fun to eat. Pork chop tacos = 8.0 out of 10 Al Pastor Taco= 8.6 out of 10 - It's the citrusy addition of the pineapple that makes all the difference here. Great taco!

    Specials for 10/23

    I was raised south of the border and lived in California for most of my life so tacos are very near and dear to my heart. But I recently started school in Terre Haute, Indiana where no one has heard of carne asada let alone make carne asada tacos. I visit Philadelphia often to see my boyfriend and thankfully there are amazing tacos near where he lives.I was way too excited to try the tacos here based of recommendations on yelp. We got: three chicken cactus tacos, four carne asada tacos, elotes, horchata, and a mexican coke. I personally thought the carne asada was a bit dry and too chewy but that might've been more due to the cut of the meat than how it was cooked. The smoky, red sauce that came with it made up for the dryness. The chicken tacos were amazing! The cactus really adds a different dimension of flavor to the tacos. The sauce that came with it really tied it all together. Just get the chicken cactus tacos and thank me later. The elote was pretty good if you're used to eating it with tajin, Tajin has a lime kick to it which some people aren't used to. I've had it with chili powder and I prefer that over tajin but I still ate the whole thing without complaints. I love that it was actually roasted and not boiled. Overall, go here. They have a huge menu and I'm sure you'll find something you like!

    I ordered from here when my doordash for tacos never came. This place is within walking distance. I decided to give them another try and I made better choices. I had the shrimp sopas which were pretty good! I enjoyed the tostadas a lot! We got grilled steak ones. The corn was amazing as always. I ate that corn so fast. The horchata was not as good as before. It was more watered down, but decent.

    Chorizo burrito- could have done something better at him, not taste at all

Booths and bar seating is available as well as a patio on weekends. It is located in a sketchy area but a police car is stationed on the corner. I felt as safe as I do in other areas of Philly. Street parking is available within a few feet. The cocktails were very good with many different kinds of margs and other drinks. Beer and wine are also available. We were greeted as soon s we walked in by both the bartender and one of the owners. Our server brought water as soon as we sat down. She was attentive and helpful with explanations. The food here is authentic! Several different kinds of guacamole are available. We chose the one with pomegranate. It added a nice crunch and flavor. One with grasshopper was available. lol that was a no for me! The trio of empanadas were delicious. We shared a carnitas taco platter and branzino platter. The tacos were tasty. The branzino was cooked nicely with good flavor. The rice and beans and Brussels spouts and mushrooms were all delicious. I'll definitely be back!

The meat in the tacos was so dry that it was hard to chew and swallow. Some of the pieces were cooked to a crisp. No amount of salsa could make them better. I'm sorry I didn't take photos of the tacos, but trust me me I get no pleasure from leaving a bad review for this place; I am not lying or exaggerating. I thought they were going to be one of our local gems. I choked down a half a taco, gave the rest to my husband and he couldn't eat them either. The churros actually had raw batter in the middle and the outside was rubbery and hard at the same time. You could barely bite through it. I'm a cook and I know that that is about keeping the oil at an even temperature to get the inside done and not overcook the outside. Someone in the kitchen did not know what they were doing. The thing is, I have had their food before and it was pretty good. I don't know if there is a new chef or what happened, but I can't trust them after this experience.

    Honestly El Rey is great!…read more As a Los Angeles native, Mexican food is always a "not as good as California" affair, and with that bar, it's hard to find anything that holds a candle. But El Rey is good in its own right, taking familiar foods and flavors, with a bit of a fancier twist, and making a good meal that I love to eat and enjoy! Seating and service here is friendly and prompt. Even when it's pretty loud and seems packed, there are always a handful of open tables available, where we've usually been able to be seated almost immediately. Such was the case this evening. We were on a bit of a time crunch so we ordered immediately and our food came out so fast that the waiter for our table was surprised as the food beat him with our napkins to the table. We ordered the Tuna Tostada and the Yucatan Spiced Chicken Fajitas. Both were amazing! Good thing for our tight timeline, the food was gone as fast as it came. The waiter helpfully recommend the house hot sauce, which was certainly spicy and a good compliment on our fajitas. Overall, a great place to dine for Mexican-inspired! Laying aside my California bias, El Rey is a fun time every time we come.

I hadn't been to El Rey in years, but we scored last-minute Valentine's reservations and WOW. The vibe was lively, warm, and perfect for a fun night out. - Let's talk about these STEAK TACOS . Perfectly seasoned, tender, flavorful -- the kind of bite that makes you close your eyes for a second. They were so good I came back two days later just for them. That's not a craving... that's infatuation. - The Chayote Salad completely surprised me. Fresh, bright, and paired with their homemade hot sauce? My palate was awakened. I even brought it home (with dressing and hot sauce on the side) and it still hit! Speaking of heat -- if you love spicy food, ASK for their homemade hot sauce. It's bold, fiery, and addictive. I genuinely want a bottle for home. Service? 10/10. From the manager to the hosts to the bartender -- everyone was kind, attentive, and patient. They even remembered me from Valentine's Day, which says everything about how they treat their guests. Bathroom Check: Clean? Yes. Cute ambiance? Yes. Great mirror for photos? Absolutely. And again -- CLEAN. El Rey, I'll be back soon

There were booths, tables and bar seating available with Wonder Years playing on a few TVs with warm lighting and the incandescent Christmas lights that are reminiscent of Grandma's house (bonus points for nostalgia!) I requested a booth and she promptly sat me. She brought me water, menus and explained the specials to me. As I perused the menu, I was overwhelmed with the options available to me. I ultimately landed on one of the dinner specials (Cabernet braised brisket with a side of carrots & buttery mashed potatoes), chips & salsa and a Paloma. Chips landed first and while both salsas were fresh, I still felt the need to add salt. (Everyone's palate is different) Food & drink arrived simultaneously. Paloma was made strong but tasted more like a classic margarita as opposed to the tang of grapefruit that comes with a Paloma. Still good! The food was essentially cold & looked like it had been sitting for awhile being served to me but all the flavors were there. The brisket fell apart, I didn't even need a knife to cut it. The carrots were tender and the mashed potatoes were buttery. I would 1000% go back for the drinks and service, however I may get something different on the menu.
