We have been here several times and it is one of the better restaurant options available here in Brewton, AL. We drove up from Pensacola to go hunting with H.S.'s family for the weekend. The food here at El Ray turned out to be better than the hunting this weekend. It's called "hunting for a reason" as the old worn out saying goes... We joined H.S.'s brother's family who were already seated and eating their chips, salsa and queso. We got another order of queso and dove in. The service was great, even on this Friday night, but it also wasn't too busy. It was storming and that may have kept the crowd down a bit. The salsa, chips and queso were delicious. The queso being the classic queso blanco and the salsa also was the classic red salsa. Both are very typical for us here in the deep South. I ordered the Burrito Supreme with beef and H.S. ordered the California Burrito with shrimp. She routinely out orders me and she did so again. Mine was really good. Hers was great! I wasn't thinking when I ordered the beef. I was thinking it would be steak (I know better) and it was ground taco meat. I was just trying to hurry. Hers with the shrimp and all the light fillings was more what I was looking for. It is probably hard to imagine for a lot of you that a burrito can be light but it can be done. Tacos El Fluffy in Pensacola sure does! Down the table from me my brother and sister in-law shared the Molcajete which looks like a hot mess but they love it. It is basically a giant bowl full of steak and chicken strips, shrimp, chorizo, frijoles charros, onions, cactus, and Mexican cheese. It is then served with tortillas. Think fajitas on steroids. El Ray is a good option in Brewton for a good meal. It is a bit of a surprise that such a good mexican restaurant exists here but there it sits. There have been some significant changes to the menu as they learned the tastes of small town America. Not surprising is the absence of menudo soup (tastes and smells like a barnyard that needs to be shoveled) and ceviche from the menu now. I am not saddened by the loss of the menudo. -B- read more

Great service but I don't like their beans. They were too runny. The rest of the food was good those. read more

Enjoy eating here several times a month. From a cooked ribeye to a grilled chicken salad taco you can't beat the food, atmosphere and friendly staff at El Rey Mexican Grill. read more

Just went and ordered a meal to go with cheese dip, took to my granddaughter and then went home, she told me that she didn't get her cheese dip. $5.25 for cheese dip and I don't live in town it's too far to drive and then take to my granddaughter and go back home, they should check everything out before bringing it out to the customer read more

We make the hour drive regularly to El Rey's despite numerous other Mexican restaurants in Milton-Pace-Pensacola area. The food and service is always consistently excellent. The atmosphere is what I expect at the price point. They also serve an excellent margarita and do not skimp on anything. read more

Everything at El Ray's is good but my absolute favorite is the Chori Queso Cheese dip.. it has chorizo sausage in it and is about as close to perfection as you can get. read more

This place was very clean. Waitress very attentive! Food was good. We live out of town so we can't visit often. But I would recommend it!

I'm actually really impressed with this restaurant. The street tacos are fantastic! The pork in mine was absolutely delicious and the serving sizes were very generous. The guacamole was really fresh and flavorful. Our waitress was very attentive and kind and kept our drinks full! I'm very excited to have El Rey in town because our restaurant selection is sorely lacking and that's the best meal I've had in town in along time. Definitely recommend! read more

Great guacamole and fajitas. Service was a bit slow but restaurant was pretty busy for late lunch. Would definitely eat here again.

Today was our first time eating at this place. It was excellent and the service was wonderful. They serve a black bean dip and salsa with your chips. I saw someone else had commented on the guacamole, but the guac here is probably the best that I have had. The establishment seemed extremely clean. We will definitely be back soon. read more

The food is amazing. The service unfortunately not so much. I've tried them several times over the years and this is apparently the norm whether you get take out or you dine in. Again though, the food is great, always fresh and seasoned to perfection! read more

Authentic Mexican fare and margaritas are wonderful too! The wait staff is always polite and efficient. And as I already suggested, their food is authentic and tasty, and their menu diverse. I would refer to El Rey as an upscale Mexican restaurant. Never disappoints! read more

After years without a decent Mexican restaurant since Palenque closed, it was great to enjoy a terrific meal here. The salsa was excellent with a touch of cilantro. Our entrees were huge, so much so we had to take half home. Food was hot, and thankfully not greasy like many restaurants serving Mexican food. They've really done a nice job remodeling the place... it's spotless and beautifully decorated. Very friendly wait staff, reasonable prices. We'll be back! read more

Really bad, cold mediocre food. Service was practically none existent. When explained to cashier our meal was cold she laughed and said sorry.... hmmmm maybe we are not the only one unhappy. Don't waste your time or money here. read more
