Restaurant El Rey

My daughter and I both LOVE Mexican food, and when I moved to Las Vegas we now had to find a new spot. We would get together on the weekends trying different restaurants and they were ok but were not as good as our favorites in California. I do not eat meat, so I'm limited on my choices, but I did not feel deprived at all the flavors were dancing around in my mouth and I did not even care that there was no meat on my plate.My daughter had an appt and saw this restaurant across the parking lot, she called me and ask if I wanted to try it and I can always go for a Shrimp Burrito, so I said sure, and to think this place is across the street from me, I may have even seen it before but it's so close to other businesses, you can miss it.PLEASE DON'S SLEEP ON THIS Little Mexican Restaurant, because it more than makes up for the size with IT'S BIG FLAVOR!The hostess is so sweet and very friend too! I'm so happy to have found this place, trust me people you will NOT be disappointed!

$5.50 for a diet coke $23.00 for fajitas. I can live with that but charging for sauce on top of that nope.... I should have known something was up when during the busy time the place was empty should have been a clue. When i asked about the price of the diet coke the waitress informed me it was on the menu DUH. I understand times are hard but this place is ridiculous. Its on the side of a strip mall next to target not in an expensive area. Once and done.

This is what I envisioned an authentic Mexican restaurant to be. Very friendly lady server. All the patrons on my visit were speaking Spanish. Most dishes may be on the spicier side but they do have more milder plates, just ask if you are sensitive to spice-heat. I had the best shrimp Diablo ever. So much plump, large and clean shrimp. The sauce was so flavorful and so warming. Even the refried beans were perfect.No complimentary chips but they do have corn and flour tortilla choices included with most plates. They even have an array of "hotter" salsas on request. Of course one can buy chips.Everything, even the mini salad sliced right then. There is a difference of freshness, flavor and hospitality here.

I have been back to this restaurant twice since my first visit. The food and service has been consistently good. You can tell tortillas and food is made fresh so food will take some time to come out.

After enjoying a show at the Clark County Library, my friends and I were looking for a place nearby to eat. Restaurant El Rey was literally just a few minutes away, so we decided to eat there.First of all, the place isn't much on the outside; you could easily miss it if you aren't actively looking for it. But once you're inside, it's actually quite lovely! The decor is lively and colorful and makes you feel completely energized, welcomed, and ready to enjoy your meal there.We were quickly helped when we walked in, and our server was very welcoming and congenial. She seated us and got us our menus. Once we were ready to order, she took the time to answer a question to help me choose between two menu options. Prices were reasonable.After we all ordered, the food came out pretty quickly. And it was delicious! My shrimp burrito (I have never had a shrimp burrito in my entire life, so it was something new and interesting to try) was so good! It was flavorful with plenty of juicy, seasoned shrimp and yummy vegetables prepared to perfection. Unfortunately, I ended up overeating even though I brought half my burrito to-go because I seriously couldn't stop eating it and ended up finishing it in the car, lol! My friends' dishes also looked really yummy.If you're looking for a tasty place to eat that's close to Clark County Library, Restaurant El Rey is a great choice if you're craving some really good Mexican food!

I was told the best potato tacos are here. I did not believe that and OMG! AY DIOS MÍO!!! The flavor was better than great! Tasted the beans and took me back to my infancia ! I'm so happy to find a place with good food, cooked on the spot, great customer service, Mónica will influence you to order the best food. And the size of my Diet Coke is perfect. I don't have to ask for a refill! . I'm in love with this place now!

Back again for the second time. This time, I ordered a burrito with al pastor. Oh man it was so yummy and it was a lot of food too. I ordered Jamaica drink with it. I really enjoy this place. Such a colorful and nice vibe. Food is so good!!!!!! Just come try!!

This place is becoming my favorite spots in town. I love dipping my head in after being at UNLV all day. I always get the combo 6 but I do think about trying other things. I'm just to lazy to try something new and usually when I go I'm starving for enchiladas. The lady in the front is always nice. I love they give you a lot of rice and beans. The inside is so cozy and authentic. I just love this place.

Esta es muy, muy bien comida! Va, mira y sabor por usted. Really good food! Just come and see, smell and taste for yourself.

Food was fantastic. We got a burrito and chicken fajitas. We left both plates completely empty despite the large amount of food they gave us:) Everything was very fresh and delicious including the corn tortillas (which appear homemade and were piping hot). Excellent food and great customer service this place is worth a try!
