Hands down the best torta I’ve ever had! The portions are huge—easily enough for two. They also have an awesome salsa bar and really tasty beans. Can’t wait to come back!

First time at this location, the food was amazing. I did complete the 4 pound burrito challenge that was my main purpose of going. Definitely, will be going back to try other menu items fyI The burrito was not just for show, it was very good. Also, they have a salsa bar. With lots of options to choose from.

So... My taco guy cancels day of the party. What to do? I pop on in to El Rey on a Saturday at 2pm. They have enough food cooked for 80 people by 2:45! Everybody at the party loved the food. I cannot thank these people enough. They saved my party!

I can't believe I've waited so long to finally come and try this place. I've always driven passed it and thought I should go, but never made it happen until this weekend. So stoked to finally try it and mad at myself for waiting so long. All the wasted time. Anyways, got the al pastor burrito and it rocked. Salsa bar is on point and cup for beans. Everything was delicious.

A must-visit for fantastic Mexican cuisine and an exhilarating environment. Prepare for a flavor-packed adventure that you’ll want to experience again and again! . The salsa bar smacks and free beans. The best part? Everything Club America

HOLY MOLLY! My family & I came here on a wild whim looking for breakfast burritos. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Great spot, the food was amazing,the salsas were outstanding, service was quick & friendly. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with chorizo (wish I had taken a picture sooner, my bad ) and was full half way there (and I only had ½ of the burrito bc I shared with my son). Do NOT sleep on this spot! SIMPLY AMAZING.
