El Rey 2 Tacos & Tequila

Stopped by during Happy Hour (4-6pm) on Friday and quickly snatched a table. Service was fast & nice. The location is in a small strip (which seems odd from the outside), but the interior is gorgeously decorated!Tried the raspberry and guava margaritas, which had a good amount of tequila. The pineapple specialty margarita looked amazing and I will be back to try that one!Chips were freshly made and the salsa had a small kick to it. Tried the Fiesta burrito and was not disappointed! The habanero sauce is VERY spicy which I appreciated. Lastly, the churros were amazing. I am not a huge fan of that dessert but these were delicious for the price and quantity. Paired really well with the raspberry sauce they gave us! Really authentic Mexican food and they seem to have a DJ on Saturdays. Veni durante la Happy Hour (de 4 a 6 p. m.) el viernes y rápidamente me senté en una mesa. La ubicación está en una pequeño shopping (lo que parece extraño desde el exterior), ¡pero el interior está magníficamente decorado! El servicio era rápido y amable. Probé las margaritas de frambuesa y guayaba, que tenían una buena cantidad de tequila. ¡La margarita especial de piña se veía increíble y volveré para probarla!Las chips estaban recién hechas y la salsa tenía un pequeño kick de picante. ¡Probé el burrito Fiesta y no me decepcionó! La salsa de habanero es MUY picante pero delicioso. Por último, los churros estaban increíbles. No soy un gran admiradora de ese postre, pero estaban deliciosos por el precio y cantidad!

I have been here a few times - and can say my favorite item is their Shrimp and Birria tacos. But, that's not an item I care to pay for all the time. (Around 17$ for 3 tacos) Went around noon today and it was pretty quiet. As usual the restaurant inside is a cool vibe- bright- pretty paintings on the wall and unique ideas for the setting (sombreros on the ceiling). I ordered the Fiesta Burrito on the Special of the day for $10. Carne, chicken, rice, beans and grilled onions and bell peppers. Usually comes smothered with a Habanero sauce but I opted for it on the side (I don't like TOO MUCH heat). For the price is was pretty tasty. I am very glad I asked for the sauce on the side. It was VERY SPICY - But more spice than flavor. My daughter ordered the shrimp burrito. She was not completely impressed (we come from Cali and I cook a lot of Cali Mexican food and finding authentic Mexican food here has been rare) - overall she said it was decent but nothing special. No sauce to top it or

I understand that this is supposed to be one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants in Hampton roads but I can honestly say I wasn't impressed. The drinks were meh and the food was just okay at best. This was my first time trying barria tacos and I don't get the hype. The menu looked pretty good though, so I would give it another try but I wouldn't have my hopes up if you get what I'm saying.

Grabbed a quick bite with friends. We seated ourselves and drink orders were taken. None of my party ordered alcohol but they appear to be true to providing the tequila! Quite a few tables were enjoying margaritas. I found that this location has chicken birria and my friends ordered this leaving no crumbs after! I opted for something smaller but still delicious! The carne asada fries were very tasty and well seasoned. You'll enjoy this if you're looking for something light with a half order or more to share with a full order. The inside was decorated nicely, low lighting and huge margaritas if that's your thing! I'd say this could be a nice dinner date or drinks with friends.

If you love authentic Mexican cuisine, El Rey 2 Tacos & Taqueria is a place that you should visit. They are conveniently located on Little Creek Road in the heart of Norfolk.The staff is friendly and helpful with menu questions and suggestions if you're on the fence about what to order.I especially enjoyed the tacos. I have evolved over the years away from Flour Tortillas to Corn Tortillas. I find them to be much more flavorful and they compliment the taco filling so much better.If you fancy yourself as someone who can handle the heat, be aware, this place is no joke. If you tell them "you like it hot" they will definitely step on the gas and "spice up your life." Whatever your preferences for heat, they have great flavor in all of their dishes.Check out El Rey 2, you can always thank me later...

This place is right one Little Creek Rd. It's in a small strip mall so parking a bit limited, but the sign makes it easy to find. My firmed and I stopped by on a Friday afternoon to celebrate the end of the week. The interior is beautifully decorated, and we were seated quickly. We ordered the birria plate for 2. I was supposed that it was served with sides of rice and beans. That was my favorite part to be honest. The birria was good, but we chose to add shrimp to our. We weren't fans of the shrimp, as it had been overcooked. I also ordered the habanero salsa to dip my tacos into. I'm a girl who likes her salsa, and this one reminded me a of a little taco shop from back home. It really packed a punch. To get my friend the full Mexican experience I wanted to treat her to a tres leches cake. This disappointed me a little. Having grown up with the coarse yellow cake that is sticky tradition being served mushy and jello like. I wasn't even sure if it was tres leches. We had to ask just in case. For the price, I wouldn't complain. Considering all the extras I got, and splitting the bill with my friend we payed a decent price. Overall I was satisfied, but am excited to see what other Mexican food restaurants there are in the area.

The food is amazing and it's always packed so prepare to wait. Especially on Sundays and Tuesdays.

Honestly? It was okay. I love Birria and got their birria pizza. I wish they used better cheese, like a queso or crema Fresca or something. Instead they used mozzarella of all things. I get it fits into the whole "pizza vibe", but I wish it were better. The consomé was eh. It could've used some lime. I will say I do love their quesadilla burrito so no complaints there. But I don't recommend getting birria from them. If you're looking for a good birria place, try Agave Azul

Decided to go try this place out for a taco Tuesday night and it was packed. I got there around 7 PM and they said it was going to be approximately 45 minutes for a table for two but it ended up only taking 10 minutes which was really nice.The inside was absolutely gorgeous definitely very Instagrammable as other have said because there were lights everywhere and the ceiling was filled with sombreros! Would definitely come back for the ambience!Service was average because they put us at a table in the corner and seemed to kind of forget about us, especially towards the end when we were done eating no one really showed up for almost 20 minutes asking us if we were okay and we had to ask multiple times for a to go box but the waiters and waitresses were still very nice people.As for the food, we ordered shrimp and chicken birris tacos as well as some of their $2.50 tacos. Definitely make sure you ask for their homemade hot sauces because those were absolutely amazing with the tacos. My mouth was definitely on fire in a good way! The birria tacos were amazing and the two $50 tacos for taco Tuesday were pretty good for the price. I wish they had other broth options for the birria since I do not eat beef or pork and would have loved an alternate dip for my birria tacos!Parking was convenient because there was a lot of space both in front and on the sides of the complex. Definitely worth coming here at least once and deciding for yourself how much you love the tacos too!

I came here on a Wednesday for a late lunch. I was greeted as soon as I walked inside. I asked the server for a recommendation and she recommended the birria tacos. My order came with chips, salsa, rice, refried beans and three tacos. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be returning.
