Best Mexican place ever! I guarantee it!
I found this site trying to get their phone number to check hours. If I could sing on the top of my roof how good it is, I would. It is a cafe/take out....not fancy. But the way the food is prepared is beyond the norm.

Beans are boiled, not re-fried. Get the three taco plate. And try the asada. Most all joints like this are similar, but not this one.

People are cool...nice atmosphere...but casual!!    [13 Apr 2004 22:50:41]

The best around
Feel like driving to East L.A. for some good Mexican food? Don't bother. El Rey has authentic, delicious, real deal Mexican food. The salsa bar is excellent!    [01 Dec 2006 21:40:34]

Great food best I've had
The food is the best I've had, but the place could be bigger and cleaner with more cashiers; the place gets packed.    [14 Feb 2007 17:11:12]

Delicious
I've tried the tortas; these Mexican sandwiches are out of this world, a must-try item. Yes, I agree the place is small, I've always ordered to go. I sure wish they would have a website where I can view the menu.    [14 Feb 2009 22:01:41]
