    Shrimp Diablo! (Best I ever had!)
    Joyce W.

    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.

    Combo plate with two shredded beef and a carne asada taco.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Back again for the second time. This time, I ordered a burrito with al pastor. Oh man it was so yummy and it was a lot of food too. I ordered Jamaica drink with it. I really enjoy this place. Such a colorful and nice vibe. Food is so good!!!!!! Just come try!!

    Chilaquiles Rojos Con Huevo with meat added.

    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!

    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.

They have a Loteria drinking game, with each card matching a drink on the menu. Fun idea, but when explained seemed confusing. The drink was ok, too sweet for me and a little small for the price. Menu highlights for me was The dirty corn, salsa flight, and my (2) taco plate. The dirty corn was a standout with elote-style corn in a bowl, topped with chicharron, chorizo, and spicy mayo. It delivers that street corn flavor, but with a good mix of textures and spice. My tacos were delicious. I tried one grilled shrimp taco and one carnitas taco, served with rice and beans. The blue corn tortillas were a nice touch and pillowy soft! The carnitas were amazing, great flavor and super tender. I shrimp tacos were just as good and when topped with their habanero, verde, and roja salsa, that heat and flavor depth gets elevated! Overall, it's a dependable neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, creative touches, and good food that makes it worth a visit if you are in the area!

    A super fun and vibey restaurant that genuinely surprised me with how tasty the food was…read more We had a birthday reservation that we were running late for. I called ahead to let them know we were running late. They did warn us that if we were more than 10 minutes (or maybe 15 minutes, I forget now) late then they would have to give away our table. That was very understandable. We arrived literally ON THE MINUTE and they were able to seat us. I was so grateful. We ordered the Carajillo, shots of tequila, and the Flaming Tomahawk. The presentation of the drinks was my favorite part! Every item had it's own performance. And, including a sugar cube with the shot was a nice touch, too. The flaming tomahawk was a fun experience, as well. I like that someone actually stood by our table to give it the final crisp with a flame, cut it up for us, and presented the pieces in a beautiful display. Of course, the flavor of everything was off the charts. Delicious steak with bone marrow and chimichurri sauce. The truffle mac n cheese on the side was incredible. The wait staff were great. We enjoyed the periodic dimming of the lights in the entire restaurant for a brief fire show. Just overall really cool and memorable details that added to a delicious meal. I'd return here for my next Vegas trip.
