El Rey Taquería offers a delicious twist on Cuban and Mexican food. Best of both worlds. Portions and prices are very reasonable.

We just went here for dinner. The person working the window was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, it took about 20 minutes for 4 tacos, a side of rice, and a plain quesadilla, and much of the order was wrong or didn’t taste right. Cuban vegan taco had beans and avocado, but no plaintains. Salmon taco was ordered without the cilantro sauce (it contains dairy, which I can’t eat), yet was covered in cilantro sauce. My husband’s shrimp tacos tasted off (like not fresh shrimp), so he couldn’t eat his. The only items that came out okay were the quesadilla and Mexican rice. Nearly $40 later….

Tried El Rey Cuban & Mexican Cuisine and really enjoyed it! The Cuban sandwich was flavorful and perfectly made. The charro beans were the highlight—absolutely amazing. Everything else I ordered was good too, and the service was friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes.

Every visit to El Rey is an exceptional experience. The establishment is always spotless, the food is consistently fresh, and the customer service goes above and beyond. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like more than just a customer — you're treated like family. The staff is not only friendly but also informative. They always make sure to let you know about current deals and promotions. For instance, I found out coffee is free on weekends for dine-in customers — a great surprise! On another occasion, I was told breakfast was extended until 1 PM, which was perfect timing for my late start. One of the standout reasons I keep coming back is the manager, Fabian. He’s always smiling, approachable, and quick to handle any concerns or questions with professionalism and genuine care. But what really sealed my loyalty to this location happened one weekend when my car stalled right in their driveway. Without hesitation, Fabian remained calm, reassured me, and asked two of his staff members, Erick and Kalub, to help. They didn’t just try once — they stayed with me, kept trying to jump my car until my husband arrived, and refused to take a tip because, as they said, “You’re a regular customer.” That level of kindness and service is rare. I've visited other El Rey locations, but none compare to this one. El Rey is more than food — it’s community, care, and consistency. Highly recommend!

Generally come here for great breakfast on the weekends. The eggs are always well made and the meat is always full of flavor. We recommend the steak and eggs plate and chorizo and egg tacos but everything here has been so tasty! The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean.
