I'd give them a thousand stars if I could. Everything I've ever had or seen put on a table has been phenomenal. Their salsa bar is fantastic, and their service is great. I went from the time it was a grocery and restaurant and the way they've remodeled is amazing. I can't believe they even have a back room now! It's always packed but they're super fast. The decor is so much fun. I don't live in Augusta anymore but still stop by several times a year for a fix. Love you guys! So proud of you!! read more

4 or 5 different birthday group dinners going on... Kinda loud but Taco Tuesday is very popular. The service was very good considering all the people there. read more

My order total was $12.49 I gave a $4.00 tip but when I checked my bank account online they. Charged me $26.49 even though my receipt clearly shows how much my true bill was. They charged my card an additional $10.00 for no reason. I called back and spoke to the manager Miss Laura I explained the issue. She said to bring the receipt back I explained that I'd have to take an Uber their and it would cost me 3 times the money just to come back. When they owed me just to take an Uber to get back $10.00. And I shouldn't be punished due to their fault I just want the $10.00 refund to my card. She would not help me get a refund so I asked for their corpora read more

I came here for a girls night on a Friday night, so obviously it was packed. I was able to reserve a table a couple of hours beforehand so that we can avoid a long wait. We ordered a pitcher of house strawberry margaritas, pollo con queso, a burrito, al pastor taco combo, and elote ribs. The margs were good and you can't taste the tequila. The food was ok, not the best I've had and it wasn't hot as if it was fresh. They also have a salsa bar, but we found a hair in the guac. The service was ok, and we couldn't hear her over the loudness of the restaurant so it was difficult to hear or understand. We all paid around $25-$30, but I think I can get better food elsewhere. read more

Came here as a group dinner and was profoundly disappointed. Took some snap shots of what my co workers and I ordered. I got the street tacos, each taco at $4.50. Chicken was bland and portions were tiny. Another friend ordered a chicken taco. They forgot his order and when we asked for it, sure it came out as a quick turn around but it literally looked like the chef took a tortilla, threw some chicken, sprinkled little cheese and microwaved it. Did not come with any sides and needless to say, he did not finish it. The restaurant was packed and staff were busy around 6-7pm on a Thursday, so I wonder if this experience of ours was a one off situation. Personally I didn't think the food was worth the price and some dishes, the portion was overly generous. read more

We LOVE this place, so much that we frequent it about once a week :) we usually get the queso fundido and a gringo quesadilla to split. Love the salsa bar, our faves are the mango pico & the guac salsa! Service is always top tier, quick and they are always friendly. Weekends are fun but they are definitely packed! read more

We are here one time before and have wanted to come back ever since. The food is soooo good! The staff is so friendly and the place is so clean with a great vibe. The servings are pretty big. We each had a burrito and could only eat half so we have dinner for later. My granddaughter loved her quesadilla and the chips. The queso and the street corn queso are both delicious. I highly recommend eating here at least once. We will definitely be back. read more

Higher priced restaurant than most Mexican Restaurants. Small margarita was served in a Martini glass so not much to it in way of a drink and it was outrageous. Where are people getting tacos here. Just plain beef or grilled chicken hard shell tacos because I was told they do not serve them. Noisy atmosphere and felt like I needed a booster chair to reach the bar and I'm of average height. read more

I stopped in for dinner last night with the family and the place was hopping. Almost seemed like a Friday at other restaurants. This place is so busy they just did a needed extension. Probably the best Mexican cuisine in Augusta. Food: Excellent we had different dishes. I had the Pollo Jalisco and it was seasoned to perfection, came with rice, tortillas, and a guacamole salad, and just the right portion. My son and daughter had the Pollo Con Crema with Chipotle. It came with rice and beans and again the portion was just right. Service: Excellent, we were greeted as we arrived by a host at a reception type desk, he and our waiter were equally friendly and polite. Our waiter was helpful, gave the Jalisco recommendation and attentive. Thanks for that. Ambiance: Welcoming environment, with a lively feel. Modern Mexican style vibes, full bar, with plenty of booth and table seating. Delicious, great for groups and families. read more

My family and I decided to check this place out based on reviews and our craving for Mexican food. My husband got the elote and quesabirria tacos, I ordered the pollo el Rey, and my son got a chicken quesadilla. Food was 5/5, salsa bar was great, and the mango marg was wonderful. Literally no complaints. Probably the most well rounded Mexican restaurant in the CSRA. We will absolutely be back! read more

El Rey's Mexican Restaurant on Washington Road and Davis Road Augusta, GA. I will definitely be visiting again! Food: Wow! Homemade Potato Chips at a Mexican restaurant... who knew! We ordered the steak quesadillas and veggie burrito. The steak on the quesadilla was tender and seasoned the quesadilla was stuffed with veggies and cheeeese. The homemade tortilla really set the dish off. Service: We had a delightful waitress, she was polite and took time to answer our questions. I appreciate she was attentive but not overly attentive. Ambiance: Authentic decor for a Mexican restaurant however the Aztec Thorn at the entrance along with the wall Art was special. read more

Came to Augusta on a business trip and fell in love with this restaurant. From the awesome service to the delicious food, the salsa bar and delicious beverages tops the cake. There is plenty of seating inside and I saw some food trucks in the back. The wait staff is always so polite and friendly, if you can't make a decision of their menu, they can definitely point you in the right direction. Recommendation outside of EVERYTHING on the menu: the Birria menu is to die for. From the pizza to the 4 birria taco plate, the flavors truly burst in your mouth especially when dunking them into the consume. The Street tacos might sound simple, but the flavor did pack a punch. Did I mention they had lengua and tripe tacos?!?! Grilled to perfection and also bursting with flavor. If you like spirits, we endulged in a few 88 OZ margarita towers and some frozen MangoRita's read more

Not my first and probably won't be my last review of this place. Stellar! Everytime I go here, it's just incredible! Got a giant torta this last time with some waffles fries covered in their street sauce! So good! Great music! Friendly staff! Innovative menu! 10/10! There's a reason this place has won best Mexican restaurant in Augusta for the last 8 years! Jus sayin... read more

Absolutely this spot! This time around, my friend ordered all cooked veggies on their beef nachos (due to a medical condition they have), and this was what the chef created. It was absolutely delicious. El Rey's customer service is above local par. I truly love coming here. Great for after work to grab some delicious food and generously poured margaritas with co-workers and friends. They are now open for breakfast on the weekends too. I haven't had their breakfast yet but I'm assuming it will be just as good. read more

Great authentic Mexican restaurant. We went for Taco Tuesday ($2 tacos!) and I loved how they have a salsa bar with lots of options. Overall the food was good, but I was expecting a little more chipotle flavor in the tinga taco, and my asada taco was a little tough. Service was friendly and fast. Margaritas were great and you get a good amount for the price. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more menu items. read more

Wow! I thought I had reviewed this place already because IM OBSESSED. I think about their tacos just about everyday. Their street tacos are just so freaking delicious. That's all I want from there because they're that good. I usually do alambre- it has some pineapple and grilled bell peppers and cheese. Must get corn tortillas- just trust me on that. And their salsa bar is so great! The basic Salsa is clutch and I add their pico that's on the bar to the salsa. I sometimes do a takeout order thru Grubhub from my Yelp app and it's so easy...maybe too easy for an addict. 3 tacos for $10. I have tried what other people have ordered and everything has been good. Margaritas are good too! Always good service! read more

One of our favorite places to eat and makes us homesick for El Paso, TX! The food is always fresh and the service is always great. I haven't had anything there that wasn't delicious! It does get quite busy, but we never have a long wait! The staff is always so nice and very helpful with any questions you might have about the menu. This is a great place for lunch and dinner. read more

Blah. This place had solid ratings so we decided to give it a try. Service was OK but the food, not so much. Taquitos were not very fresh tasting and were smothered in a gross sauce. My advice is to try your luck somewhere else. read more

In town for work from Arizona and decided to take a gamble on some Georgia Mexican food. Had a jumbo margarita and the quesa birria tacos, both of which were solid. Whoever is making these tortillas, please keep doing what you're doing because they're excellent. My server was friendly and quick and the restaurant was clean and well decorated. Felt right at home in the south. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food done right, El Rey's is the place for you! One taco Tuesday, my sister and I happened to stop here for tacos and some drinks and we've been patronizing this establishment since! I used to despise Mexican food, but El Rey's is in my Top 3 in the CSRA. When you walk in, you seat yourself. Everyone that works at the establishment had on masks, they clean the tables between patrons, and the tables are spaced to allow social distancing. They've also started having outdoor seating as well. On this occasion, I ordered fish tacos, rice and beans, and of course a mixed drink. Let's get into the sides: the rice is packed with flavor! The beans are seasoned and not just thrown on the plate looking like slop, they even sprinkle some cotija on them. The fish tacos are MAGNIFICENT! They're tilapia and they add some aioli on top of them. This is taco greatness!!! They also make the corn tortilla in house! They also have a salsa bar, but it's no longer self serve, everything is already in cups for you. Try the mango salsa, you will love it! I normally order a large mangonado, but this time I wanted something different so I ordered the Pepita. I love a spicy, salty tasting drink and it hit the spot. They don't skimp on the alcohol and your drinks aren't watered down. We ended up sitting longer than usual to sip some water to make it home. The servers are very nice and attentive and the food comes out hot. The food here is made with love and you can taste it in every bite! The food is inexpensive and delicious! read more

Excellent food, excellent service. No complaints. MMMMM, and I will come back another time.

One of the best Mexican places in Augusta! Nowhere else can you get a margarita and decent Mexican food together My favorite part of this restaurant is actually the salsa bar. There's a lot of varieties of salsa and they're all delicious. I ordered the taco and tamale combo which with a Jarritos (which the waiter forgot to give me until I asked) and an extra taco. The taco al pastor and pork tamale were pretty good, not too salty but also not too flavorful either. I also tried the steak fajita and the meat was good quality and tasty. The horchata drink I got was very refreshing and it's a must order when you come read more

I was on a business trip and starving. I craved something authentic and definitely didn't want fast food. I checked Yelp to see what was near my hotel, and that's when I found this place. The reviews were decent, which convinced me to give it a try. The exterior looked a bit older, but don't judge a book by its cover! I ordered the chicken fajitas (though they could use a bit more seasoning, I added sauces to spruce them up) and a margarita. The service was friendly and quick, and the ambiance had that typical Mexican restaurant vibe with TVs and music playing. What really stood out was the salsa bar, which offered a variety of salsas, sauces, and even some veggies. Overall, I was satisfied with my experience and would definitely visit again; I can't think of a reason not to. read more
