4.5 stars! We tried El Rey for the first time today and it was delicious. We were greeted immediately and decided to sit at the bar. It seemed there were only two people working but that didn't slow down our service. My husband got a beer and I got a frozen mango margarita, it was super yummy. I informed our waiter of my strawberry allergy and he made sure to not put any strawberries as a decoration on the margarita rim. We got the fresh guacamole to start. My husband got the steak fajitas (I stole a bite and they were delicious). I got the sizzling steak enchiladas (only complaint is I wished they had put more of the tomatillo salsa underneath so the tortillas didn't stick to the plate). They are super generous with the rice and beans that come on the side as well. We also got a carne asada taco and a crunchy beef taco. I loved the spicy salsa that comes with the asada taco. Only thing to note is I felt the meat and the sides were generally underseasoned so I just added a dash of salt to spice it up. Inside had fun lighting, lots of seating and was very clean. They have TVs with sports on and then music playing as well. Our server was soooo nice and had such a good personality it really made our experience even better. Definitely will be back!

Do you miss Papa Nacho? Are you looking for a great Mexican spot that isn't over crowded and super commercialized? Drive the extra couple minutes and come visit. The menu is fire! The vibe is perfect, and the drinks are flowing!

New Mexican restaurant opened in Newport News across the street from Dodges on Jefferson Ave in the Denbigh area. I had a Chicken Quesadilla from the lunch menu, which comes with rice and refried beans. Not bad for $10.00. Weird charge I saw on my receipt was $.50 for takeout. Aside from that the dish was made to order, hot and pretty damn good. I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

It was quiet but we were early for dinner. I got 2 tacos (birria and al pastor). These are authentic Mexican tacos, spiced and flavorful. Husband got enchiladas de espinacas which he deemed perfect. The service was friendly and sweet. The place has been redecorated well and we will return to in the future.

My husband and I stopped by El Rey on our way through town. Great food. Fantastic prices. Our pork quesadilla, steak burrito, and large drink, tortilla chips and delicious salsas were under $20. Could not have asked for better.

The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great and the service is some of the best we've had anywhere. My wife has gluten sensitivities and staff was more than happy to help accommodate her.

This is such an amazing restaurant. The food is so authentic. I had a torta and it was the best torta I had in 24 years of my life . The sangria amazing. It was the right amount of alcohol and sweetness. Rodrigo was such an amazing server. And compliments to the chef he did amazing. I will definitely be coming back.

We were passing through after a trip to Busch Gardens. As soon as we walked in the vibe was fantastic. When we got our drinks my daughter spilled her beverage and they were so great about it. Moved us to a new table and everything. The food was the best part. I have been all over and this place was top tier. The tacos al pastor are phenomenal. My wife said it was the best ACP she's had. I wish we lived closer.
