Local authentic Mexican food! This place is a must try from the service, to the specials to the flavorful food it's all worth it. You want some major flavor in a wet burrito get half green sauce half red sauce. The spice hits your tastebuds - and if you like spicy do the green - makes the dish. Our server really made our visit perfect. She had so many different recommendations for us and gave us an inside scoop on all the specials that were offered for the day. read more

I ordered the chile verde burrito to go. Plenty of parking and many tables inside the restaurant. Large menu selection. The Chile verde comes wet but I asked for it to be dry. The Chile verde has great flavor but it's very very spicy! Level of 6 out of 10. I enjoyed it very much and would come back to try other things. Staff was friendly, fast and helpful. Restaurant is very clean, too. read more

Breakfast burritos served all day, right next to Target?! Yes please! I've been shopping at this Target for years, never ventured around the corner till today and so glad I did! Found this cute dine-in or take-out restaurant that serves delicious, huge burritos (among many other yummy looking meals). Very courteous, helpful gentleman took my order and also seemed to be the host, server, and maybe even other roles. Plenty of parking, convenient location. Will be back for sure! read more

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD It will not disappoint. We live south of the border with the most best Mexican food. I can tell you this place has made it to our must haves when we are there. THE MENUDO WAS sooooo good. The asada burrito and asada fries were do fresh and so good. Highly recommend read more

Fully recommend this restaurant!! Great, authentic Mexican food. Quick service and very friendly staff. If you have not been here yet you are missing out!! read more

I'm always on the lookout for authentic Mexican food. We visit Vegas 2-3 times a year and this was our first time here. It definitely will be on our favorites from now to eternity. I loved the homey and cozy decor. Being from California, we know what good Mexican food is all about and have high expectations. I ordered the Chile verde wet burrito and my husband ordered a combo plate with a carne asada taco and enchiladas. He loved his plate but we both agreed that my burrito was the star of the show! Such a perfect blend of spice, fluffy rice, beans all wrapped in a homemade tortilla. Homemade chips and salsa to start also were wonderful. Pure perfection! Service was friendly and made us feel welcome. We are even stopping back in on our way home to try the breakfast. Don't overlook this gem! read more

This is what I envisioned an authentic Mexican restaurant to be. Very friendly lady server. All the patrons on my visit were speaking Spanish. Most dishes may be on the spicier side but they do have more milder plates, just ask if you are sensitive to spice-heat. I had the best shrimp Diablo ever. So much plump, large and clean shrimp. The sauce was so flavorful and so warming. Even the refried beans were perfect. No complimentary chips but they do have corn and flour tortilla choices included with most plates. They even have an array of "hotter" salsas on request. Of course one can buy chips. Everything, even the mini salad sliced right then. There is a difference of freshness, flavor and hospitality here. read more

Restaurant El Rey - Shrimp Diablo! (Best I ever had!) - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

After enjoying a show at the Clark County Library, my friends and I were looking for a place nearby to eat. Restaurant El Rey was literally just a few minutes away, so we decided to eat there. First of all, the place isn't much on the outside; you could easily miss it if you aren't actively looking for it. But once you're inside, it's actually quite lovely! The decor is lively and colorful and makes you feel completely energized, welcomed, and ready to enjoy your meal there. We were quickly helped when we walked in, and our server was very welcoming and congenial. She seated us and got us our menus. Once we were ready to order, she took the time to answer a question to help me choose between two menu options. Prices were reasonable. After we all ordered, the food came out pretty quickly. And it was delicious! My shrimp burrito (I have never had a shrimp burrito in my entire life, so it was something new and interesting to try) was so good! It was flavorful with plenty of juicy, seasoned shrimp and yummy vegetables prepared to perfection. Unfortunately, I ended up overeating even though I brought half my burrito to-go because I seriously couldn't stop eating it and ended up finishing it in the car, lol! My friends' dishes also looked really yummy. If you're looking for a tasty place to eat that's close to Clark County Library, Restaurant El Rey is a great choice if you're craving some really good Mexican food! read more

What an incredible experience and such amazing service!! Although we live reasonably close to the restaurant this was our first visit but it certainly won't be our last. The wonderful lady waiting on us had such patience, we had a dozen questions and she took the time to help us. You can tell this is a family owned restaurant, they really care about the experience you have and the quality of the food. The food was delicious and the portions are so very generous, there are so many other items on the menu we want to try. Great food, amazing service and easy parking, this place is a hidden gem but a must visit!! read more

A hidden gem in the middle of paradise! Service and food were excellent! May not be the fanciest place in town but sure is friendly and has a family atmosphere, so groups and families are welcome. Their Mexican food menu is extensive, I recommend that you take your time in ordering so you can ensure your eyes meet your palate desires. Thank you very much for the great personal service you rendered! read more

This was our first visit here and it did not disappoint. My hubby and I visit Vegas often and love Mexican food. Nothing fancy just well prepared and delicious. We found this place close to our hotel so took a ride to try it out. It's not fancy and is not huge inside. We ordered green chicken enchiladas, a bean tostada and the Burrito de chili verde Mojado, no rice. The food was delicious. The burrito was mine and I'm always looking for the perfect balance of flavor and spice. The pork was cut in very small pieces which was perfect. My husband loved his enchiladas too. He said the chicken was very flavorful and they had a very good kick to them. His tostada was good too. We also ordered chips and salsa which came with a side of beans for dipping and the salsa was a pico de gallo. Both were tasty but I do prefer more of a dipping salsa. This restaurant will be on the top of our list when in town. Looking forward to trying more things from the menu. Our server was very friendly and told me they have another location on Charleston! read more

Ordered menudo to go so can't comment about the dine-in experience or other dishes besides menudo. You may need to ask for hominy... not sure a standard order will have it so make sure you ask when ordering. The menudo was the spiciest I've ever eaten anywhere that did not require any extra chile, salsa, or red pepper flakes. Since our whole group likes spice, it was 1 of the best menudo experiences we've had. If you don't like spice, you probably will hate the menudo. If you like spice, you'll love it read more

Fast and good customer service and food quality , is great very tasty, I was very satisfying, very clean , and good music

The food was okay, not what I expected! Not authentic at all, they don't have salsa and chips just not what I expected after reading reviews. The service was good just not good. Don't order a coffee it's just instant not good! read more

Restaurant El Rey - Chilaquiles Rojos Con Huevo with meat added. - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

After a night of dancing and fun at EDC Las Vegas, we were looking for a tasty meal to energize us for another night of fun. We decided some Mexican food would be perfect and this place sure delivered! It's a cute little Mexican place with great service and even better food. We started with chips and salsa as an appetizer, it even came with a little beans for dipping. Holy cannoli, the beans were incredible. I opted for the red chicken enchiladas, came with a side of rice and beans. The food tasted so delicious and authentic, I'm convinced they have a team of Mexican Nanas in the back making all the food using secret family recipes. This place is a must visit for me, whenever I make it to Vegas again. read more

This place is THE spot and it's super yummy munchkins. I recommend asada fries because they taste splendid

This place is becoming my favorite spots in town. I love dipping my head in after being at UNLV all day. I always get the combo 6 but I do think about trying other things. I'm just to lazy to try something new and usually when I go I'm starving for enchiladas. The lady in the front is always nice. I love they give you a lot of rice and beans. The inside is so cozy and authentic. I just love this place. read more

My daughter and I both LOVE Mexican food, and when I moved to Las Vegas we now had to find a new spot. We would get together on the weekends trying different restaurants and they were ok but were not as good as our favorites in California. I do not eat meat, so I'm limited on my choices, but I did not feel deprived at all the flavors were dancing around in my mouth and I did not even care that there was no meat on my plate. My daughter had an appt and saw this restaurant across the parking lot, she called me and ask if I wanted to try it and I can always go for a Shrimp Burrito, so I said sure, and to think this place is across the street from me, I may have even seen it before but it's so close to other businesses, you can miss it. PLEASE DON'S SLEEP ON THIS Little Mexican Restaurant, because it more than makes up for the size with IT'S BIG FLAVOR! The hostess is so sweet and very friend too! I'm so happy to have found this place, trust me people you will NOT be disappointed! read more

I rarely leave Yelp reviews, but this spot deserves the praise. Hands down one of the best! Huevos Rancheros was incredible. We visit Vegas often, and this is definitely a go-to from now on. read more

Love love love this place. Best Mexican food I've found so far, and the staff are phenomenal!

Restaurant is clean and vibrant, and our waitress was kind. However, we were less than impressed with some of the food selections. Our waitress warned us that all salsas and sauces were very spicy, they had no diet sodas of any kind, and when I asked to add potatoes to my breakfast burrito, I was informed they don't have potatoes - even though there are French fries on their menu. Also, meals don't come with chips and salsa - they must be ordered separately for $7! read more

$5.50 for a diet coke $23.00 for fajitas. I can live with that but charging for sauce on top of that nope.... I should have known something was up when during the busy time the place was empty should have been a clue. When i asked about the price of the diet coke the waitress informed me it was on the menu DUH. I understand times are hard but this place is ridiculous. Its on the side of a strip mall next to target not in an expensive area. Once and done. read more

Had a training near by and our first place was closed. Cute little restaurant. We were seated quickly. Service was a little slow but seemed to just have 2 workers. We were on a time crunch so it may have seemed longer than it was. My friend had pozole and she said it was a bit spicy. We had to order chips and salsa. They were delicious served with beans and salsa. I had a Huarache of carne asada. It was tasty. read more

I was told the best potato tacos are here. I did not believe that and OMG! AY DIOS MÍO!!! The flavor was better than great! Tasted the beans and took me back to my infancia ! I'm so happy to find a place with good food, cooked on the spot, great customer service, Mónica will influence you to order the best food. And the size of my Diet Coke is perfect. I don't have to ask for a refill! . I'm in love with this place now! read more

Restaurant El Rey - Chilaquiles and carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Food is VERY good and plates are large, but slightly overpriced. Oddly enough the chilaquiles with just egg and no meat are less expensive than a pollo empanizado. Kinda weird. Service was friendly but not as attentive considering we were the only ones there. I would have asked for more sauce and sour cream but by the time the server got to asking how everything was I was halfway finished. Would definitely come back since it's so close to my family's house if I'm in the mood. read more

My review is only on the carne asada burrito I had. I am going to say that I was not impressed, lots of rice and not enough meat. I couldnt really make out anything else in my burrito like onions or cilantro. I was disappointed to say the least. I will give this place another try another day on another menu item. I will say that they were very attentive when I placed my order. read more
