Absolutely loved this place! I got the tacos and gorditas, and both were delicious. My friends ordered the Torta Cubana and Plato de Reyes, and after trying a bite of theirs, I can honestly say those were just as good! The steak was served hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The flavor honestly reminded me of the carne asada I grew up eating at home, which made it even better. The aguas frescas were also on point full of flavor and definitely not watered down like you get at some other restaurants. The atmosphere was great, the music added a nice vibe, and the service was excellent. The waiters were friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, this is definitely a spot I'd come back to. Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing service. Highly recommend! Shout out to my server!!!! read more

No matter what city I am in I will always crave tacos! This trip was no different. While in Martinez, GA I used the Yelp app to help me narrow down which restaurant to dine at and El Rey was top of the list. The service was simply phenomenal! From the hostess, waitress and manager every one we came into contact with was wonderful. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! We especially enjoyed and were excited the salsa / sauce bar (this was a 1st for us) and we definitely took advantage of trying each homemade salsa / sauce. Ambiance is welcoming and cozy! There is also plenty of seating! 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

Unfortunately, the nice atmosphere was completely overshadowed by the poor service. I went to El Rey's for dinner and drinks with a group, and we were ignored multiple times while waiting to place our order. It got to the point that someone in our group had to call the server over and tell her in Spanish that we were ready to order just to get her attention. The service didn't improve when it was time to leave. While we were waiting for our checks, our server sat down to eat, and we waited approximately another 20 minutes for her to return. What really sealed the experience for me was when I asked for a to-go cup of WATER before leaving. I was told I could not have one because there was alcohol on our table. I explained that they could remove the alcohol tower since we were leaving, but then I was told that because other people still had drinks in their glasses, I still could not receive a to-go cup of water. I have never experienced anything like that over a cup of water. The environment itself is nice, but the rude and dismissive service from both the servers and management completely ruined the experience. Good atmosphere cannot make up for poor customer service. I will not be returning. 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.

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

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

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

Great food, friendly staff and fun atmosphere!! The shrimp Tacos were perfect!! No waiting on the food and the Salsa Bar is an added bonus.

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

Taqueria El Rey - Yummm!! - Mexican Near Me - Martinez, Georgia

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

Taqueria El Rey - Queso Fundido - Mexican Near Me - Martinez, Georgia

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

This place is great dine in AND carry out, it is the best Mexican restaurant in the CSRA

First visit was very impressive. Nice spacious area! I love the salsa bar variety, plus a nice touch so you can get as much as you need/choose the heat you like. Customer service was great, but the big showcase was the delicious food. I'll be adding this fine establishment to my favorite list. They earned a new loyal customer. 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

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

This restaurant made me feel like I was in Mexico! The atmosphere was really loud but respectful to each and every area. The waitress and host were all polite. BUT THE FOOD......was FANTASTIC! Eating the Quesabirrias Specialties took me back to when I ate street birria in El Paso, TX. The dipping sauce was a bit oily yet didn't take away from any of the flavor. Definitely a recommended dish which sits on a bed of Spanish rice. Birria was full of flavor, seasoned perfectly, and cooked to perfection. I really could have ate two orders of these. Yum! This is the only reason why I am giving this establishment a 4star and NOT a 5 star is the following. The only thing I have bad to say, about this location, is that our table of 21 people was cut off of how many more margaritas towers we were allowed as a total. It was informed that only 5 margaritas is max per table. A tower of margaritas can fill about 11 margaritas glasses and we shared that with 20 people. If 5 is the max for the table, then why did we get 7 total. We had a total of 6 towers (in this photo). If we want to pay for another tower, why are you cutting us off? We weren't being rude. We weren't being loud. We weren't being drunk and it's money for the business. We were celebrating a members birthday and retirement from the US Army of 20 years. And we even offered to pay the tab before ordering another if they thought that we would leave after drinking all that. But the answer was still no. Yet It's crazy how they can serve one of our guys 20 Dos Equis and not bat an eye. All in all, great experience, atmosphere, and waitressing was fantastic!!! read more
