Great selection of tacos for anyone. Enjoyed the queso and chips. Also homemade Horchata was on point for me!!!

Clean and comfortable. Not a lot of interaction with staff, walk up order, pickup your order, although they were accommodating and friendly. The food is delicious and never lets you down. Not the norm Tex Mex tacos. I'll always go back!

At every location we've been to, the food is always delicious and fresh. One item of personal preference is that I like my grilled veggies cooked a little more than what I got this time. The people here seem like a great team and the guy that took our order and served us most was absolutely outstanding! He was super friendly, personable and helpful, like working here is genuinely his favorite thing to do. I wish I had gotten his name but I didn't. The restaurant is also very clean..
I love the grilled veggies, plantains and Ropa Viejo tacos. My husband got the new Torta and enjoyed it very much.

Love it. Been going to El Rey on Washington for many years, but every location is amazing. They take their work very seriously. The food is delicious, and always very fresh. Outdoor seating and a drive through at most locations. You’re missing out if you’ve never tried El Rey. It’s truly amazing.

Food is quality! Decent prices and a friendly and informative staff. Everyone was nice and smiling and the food was fantastic! Get the Mexican style Giant Burrito, it kicks Chipotle in the face and it’s cheaper. The tortas are hot and flan is sweet. Simply, a lovely experience.

El Rey Taqueria is a Cuban Mexican Cuisine restaurant. We ordered online. We ordered Carne Asada which is served with Mexican Rice, Charro Beans, Lettuce, Pico De Gallo & Tortillas. The carne asada was juicy and perfectly done. We also ordered Three Amigos which is served as the choice of 3 Tacos with a side of Mexican Rice & Charro Beans. So we chose Beef Fajita Taco, Cuban Taco (Beef Fajita with Black Beans) and Ropa Vieja Taco (Shredded Beef). A variety of tacos provide different flavors.
To be honest, this is the best Cuban Mexican Restaurant that I have ever tried in Houston. The food portion was just perfect for one. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. The food presentation was good and perfectly organized.
I highly recommend this restaurant. Hope to have a dine-in soon.

Great Breakfast tacos.. we love the Egg Cuban. Just be careful. We had some egg shells in one of the tacos.

I generally love El Rey because they don’t miss for pretty much everything on the menu! But I will say an FYI: their shrimp is not deveined and so it’s a little gross eating the shrimp’s digestion tract.

Good Drive Thru and nice staff.
Nothing spectacular stood out with the taste of the food here.
Good portions though.
Burrito was very stuffing:)
Green salsa was plenty and good as well.
Overall would return:)

It’s always a pleasure to go to El Rey.
The food is great with a very reasonable price.
The must for us is the Famous Chicken tortilla soup, the guacamole and the lemonade. You need to try that. Great service, very clean and they are open late.
