Bug in my food
Cheap D.

After eating there and taking my food to go I discovered a bug in my food that looked like a bean and I almost ate it and immediately spit out my food. Not eating there again.

Pulled over randomly for gas heading to Maryland. I've had Mexican food all over the country. This was BY FAR some of the most delicious authentic Mexican food I've ever had. The chips and salsa were perfect in every way. The guacamole was on point! I got 3x shredded pork enchiladas with the salad and my wife got the fajitas. Everything was cooked to perfection with loads of flavor! It was actually one of the best dishes I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Much respect to these folks, they're doing everything right! The restaurant was very nice and very clean. Highly recommend it. They had very friendly waiters, what an awesome/lucky find!!!

Hear me out. I'm from TEXAS. We stopped in here ironically. There was literally nothing else anyway, anywhere near here. Texans have the best Mexican food in USA, significantly better than Southern California. I've been to Mexico many times, as well as all over Central America. And I'm not talking about Cancun and resort towns. We walked in, sat down, the staff called us señior/ señiorita, Herman's etc. so cute. We wanted to make fun of midwestern or Appalachian Mexican food. I told the staff that we were from Texas and we wanted some SPICE AND FLAVOR. Basically nothing on the menu consists of that, because of the people up here went from eating their chips and queso and got the kind of food they actually have south of the border, everyone's gut biomes would explode and cause mass hysteria amongst the moonshiners and Hilltoppers. If you are passing through or a local, you should know that this state, is something beautiful to be proud of and never stop admiring. You should also know that this Mexican food joint is pretty good! I got a chipotle pollo plate and my date got Carne asada. The flavors were outstanding. The spice level is very bland. The chipotle was as spicy has a cheese puff. The rice and chicken were fresh. The salsa was very.. flavorful. And the staff was very attentive and accommodating. Let's talk about the accommodations made. They acknowledged we are Texans and love spicy, they brought out a bowl of some dark red salsa and just seemed real proud of it. BY GOLLY it was spicy and flavorful! I threw it on everything and it made the meal so much more authentic. If you're a Texan, or someone from SOCAL/ Central America, just go in with an open mind and ask for the spicy salsa. If you're a local or other yankee (anyone who lives north of Dallas) then try a nibble of the spicy salsa. Warm yourself up to authenticity. It was very different than what we are used to from selection to preparation to presentation to taste, but they outdid themselves and earned a high rating.

Special Dinner!

Excellently prepared food very tasty, was expecting what I normally get at any Mexican restaurant but I was surprised! Ordered the special dinner and was amazed at it only the taste but the amount of food we were served! Great staff and lots of TV's to watch with a full bar!

Hidden Gem! Stopped in here tonight, and wondered where this place has been my whole life. It was…read moreabsolutely awesome. Everything from the service to the food was perfect. The restaurant was clean, and inviting. I recommend the Mole Mexicano. The food has great flavor.

**Restaurant Review: El Rey, Bridgeport, WV**…read more El Rey in Bridgeport, WV, is the kind of place that sneaks up on you. Tucked away in a strip mall, it doesn't scream for attention, but once you step inside, the buzz of conversation and the scent of something sizzling on the grill hits you like a freight train. It's clear you're about to experience something real. I ordered the "Fajita Canada," and damn, what a plate. It arrives at your table like a scene from a movie--seafood and vegetables still crackling on the hot skillet, steam rising, the promise of a meal that's about to wreck your sense of what dinner should be. The seafood was fresh, plucked from wherever it could be found, and the vegetables had that crispness you only get from knowing your way around a flame. The flavors are bold, unapologetic, and honest--exactly what you want from a place like this. It's not about presentation or pretense; it's about the food and the people who make it. The service is no-nonsense, and the space feels like a refuge from the bland sameness you find in so many places these days. If you're in Bridgeport and looking for something that's more than just a meal, head to El Rey. Order the Fajita Canada. Let it take you somewhere far from the ordinary.
