    Really great burritos! Worth a detour off the highway! Clean and friendly. Would return when in the area.

    Been here a few times but this last time solidified for me that these are one of the best tacos in Corona. They also have by far the best horchata out of any place here! We got the carnitas tacos which were so juicy and delicious not dry at all. My boyfriend got the Al pastor taco and torta and it was delicious. Don't forget to ask for the grilled onions, jalapeños, and nopales. Definitely will be coming back more often.

    Fish and Shrimp Taco is within three fingers in California. Personally, the first place. Especially the salad bar is crazy and the baked onion and red pepper that comes with it is crazy. The best taste

    I have came here easily over a dozen times. I really wish they would pick up their phone more often to order ahead as there is usually a very slow moving line and a wait for the food. It is also very small and hot inside. It can get crowded very easily. The food is delicious. Have tried their Tortas, Tacos, Quesabirrias, Pozole, Menudo, Burritos. It is all very good! Sometimes I won't come here just because of the ordering situation and wait time. They only have one cashier and it can easily be 45 minute just to get your food from the time you arrive.

    Ok I've tried and handful of tacos spots in Corona and this is by far my favorite. The tacos are loaded, the meat is flavorful and they serve nopales (cactus) and onions on the side. They also aren't stingy on the toppings. I will be here often and I will become a regular. Love this place.

    El Rey Tacos Mariscos is so fire. The food is super fresh, flavorful, and you can taste the quality in every bite. I ordered the 3 meat burrito and man the burrito was so huge! I get they may cost a bit more then other Mexican restaurants but i really feel the love in the food! I literally felt like i was in mexico. everything comes out hot and fast. Staff is friendly, portions are more than legit, and the whole vibe just feels authentic. Easily one of the best taco + mariscos spots around. I'll definitely be coming back again and again. They even hooked up free horchata refill on the house cause they were going to close. How sweet of them. Love real family owned restaurants like this who actually take pride of what they do. Trust me. Go here and you won't regret it.

    El Rey is a hole in the wall Mexican food joint on the Sixth street. It's not visible from the street so my friend missed it the first time driving by. But it is well worth the trouble because its food is amazing. I ordered a quesa birria because today is Tuesday and it was served piping hot, fresh off the grill, juicy and tasty. The El Rey burrito was pretty good too. Large portion and very satisfying. El Rey's salsa bar offers a good selection of pickled vegetables, 2 green and 2 red salsas. The hot salsa is packed with some heat, which I liked. El Rey is limited in its seating area and not many parking spots for the whole strip mall. Today it played Mexican songs so loud my friend and I had a hard time hearing each other. So it's really 4.5 Stars to me but I rounded it up for food sake.

    Menudo with hominy.

    The menudo is always delicious and flavorful. I ordered a large Jamaica beverage to complement my meal. The drink needed a bit more sugar for my liking - but in all fairness was good. As much as I love their menudo, I will not be going back. Their cleanliness lacks. Available tables and other areas were unclean - their air conditioning was not working. The door was open and several pesky flies came right in.

    Good fish and birria tacos. The salsa bar has spicy guacamole, which is the best part of coming here. The piña Agua Fresca is great, too.

This was our 2nd time at this location and it did not disappoint. My husband got the lobster roll with brown butter & I got the filet mignon + lobster tail. Our food was delicious! I'm so glad I got the Mac and cheese/ carrots as my sides. They were surprisingly so so good! Luckily we came on a Tuesday so it wasn't too crowded and we were seated pretty quickly, although we did have reservations, we waited about 3-5min. Can't wait for our next special occasion to come back soon!

    Let's just start off by saying that it was on Mother's Day that we came here. It was busy but not…read moreas crazy as we thought! We lucked out and found parking since the restaurant shares a parking lot in a shopping plaza. The restaurant itself was very clean and the service was pretty good for it being busy. We were very fortunate that we made reservations almost a month in advance! There were people waiting for 1 to 2 hours just to get a spot. The ambiance was casual and there were plenty of booths, which was awesome! We didn't feel squeezed in at all. Our service professional was very sweet and nice, but you can really tell that she was swamped and overwhelmed. We had to ask for things more than once, but are main service professional had sent her colleagues over to assist us as well. Really great teamwork! Rating from 1:00 to 5:00, with five being the best, please see the following: 4 Filet mignon and lobster combination was a four. We ordered the steak as medium rare and it came out a little bit medium well, but it was pretty nicely seasoned. The lobster was a little rubbery and seemed to be overcooked. The mashed potatoes were amazing! 3 The grilled sea bass was pretty good and lightly seasoned. I asked for more lemon to be put on the sea bass which made a great difference. Definitely flaky, but really on the small side. If it wasn't for the vegetables, I think I would still be starving. The brussel sprout said it was supposed to be made with bacon, it definitely did not have any bacon. Some of them were cooked and the others were not. The spinach however had a nice garlic leaf flavor and really enjoyed it. 4 The strip loin dinner order with a side of scallops was pretty good. The steak was cooked medium rare as requested and the scallops were a decent size. Again the vegetables were probably the best of the dish. 3.5-4 The shrimp bucatini was probably the best dish. But you definitely do need to add lemon and a little bit more salt and pepper. I would ask for some Parmesan cheese. It came out a little bland but after we added stuff to it it was pretty good. The shrimp was a great size! 4 The sushi platter was probably one of the better dishes. The seafood tasted fresh and the sushi rice was definitely soft and not dried. It paired perfectly with the wasabi and soy sauce. 4 The creme brulee was pretty yummy, but it didn't seem like it was made with vanilla bean. It seems as though it was made more with vanilla extract and it was a little runny. 4 Butter Cake was actually one of the better ones. Definitely moist and flavorful. Would have loved to have it a little more buttery unless sweet. It came already on raspberry fillings, but it would taste it so much better without it. Overall, we would definitely come back and we are pretty confident that if it's not on a holiday that the food and service would be amazing!

    Oh boy was this place freakin' great! Ambience: This place…read morewas small but mighty. Super-clean all the way down to the toilet. Very nicely decorated with a great outdoor patio. Wait Staff: I wish I took the name of our waitress because she was awesome, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. All waiters/waitresses were great. Drinks: Unfortunately I didn't get any drinks because we kept seeing the brightly colored drinks and flights being served around us and I was jealous, they all looked awesome. Food: This is where it gets good because the food was A+++mazing. We started off with just the salsa, chips and for a nice surprise, some warm beans. The salsa brought a tear to my eye because it was soooo good. Luckily, my son doesn't eat salsa so I drank it all down. The chips were perfectly fresh and crispy. Guac: So, our waitress brought us some off the menu guac, and, WTF, why are they hiding this recipe from the rest of the world. I literally got into a fist fight with my son because he was trying to take it from me (not really) but I didn't want to share. The presentation was so cute too. Plantains + chips + guac = heavan Fajitas: I ordered fajitas and all boxes were checked, quantity, quality, and taste. I ordered the chicken and it was juicy and thick and perfectly seasoned. Steak tacos: My kid ordered the steak tacos and we brokered a deal to trade some steak for chicken and this was the best deal made since the New Deal (American history). Steak was chunky and juicy and fresh! The only problem with this place is that it is very far from my house as I was in the 'hood for my kids basketball tournament. If I am in the area you better believe that I will be back. Oh yeah, and very affordable for the upscale dining.

    This is a local Mexican restaurant that is convenient and gets great recommendations so we decided…read moreto try it. On our first visit, we sat at the bar. The bartender took our drink order, and we received chips and salsa, which were very good. However, the bartender seemed a bit distracted, forgot about us, even though it wasn't a busy night. We decided to give it another chance since so many people seem to enjoy this place. We visited again, and we ordered a few drinks, received chips and salsa, then placed our food order. We waited for a bit and ordered a few more drinks. Unfortunately, after waiting about an hour, we never received our meal or any update on its status. We eventually decided to close out our bill. At that point, we noticed we had been charged for the meal we never received, as well as drinks that were not served. When we brought this to the bartender's attention, they raised their voice and told us we were wrong, which caught us by surprise. I understand that things can get busy, but a lack of communication and being spoken to disrespectfully is unacceptable. A simple check-in or update would have made a big difference. Based on this experience, we're unlikely to return. We really wanted this to work, but maybe you had to be regular customer to get better service?! We tried, but this place is a solid No for us.
