Traditional Mexican and Cuban-inspired tacos accompany tortilla soup, burritos and Cuban sandwiches at this informal counter service restaurant.
In Response to Bad Review CiCi2006
by Eat Pray Love at Citysearch
First of all, I love this restaurant, so sorry this is a bit deffensive..
Thats pretty funny how they (CiCi2006) said that El Rey Cleans up for the inspectors.....dont they make UNANNOUNCED APPEARANCES????
What a risk, going on here talking smack about the place that you work at .....during a recession!!!
I guess some people have NO COMMON SENSE!!
Good Luck Cici 2006, because no matter what, even after you leave (get fired) from El Rey, they will continue to make great food and provide great service and you, well you will just be miserable no matter where you go, becuase apparently you focus more on things other than what you are paid to do. As far as your comment on unwashed veggies, you must be uneducated in sanitation. Do you know how many bad reviews there would be on here for food poisoning due to what you are assuming?? Take a food safety corse sometime and get back to us about these types of things, you really underestimate us citysearch readers. Its borderline insulting :( In all honesty, thanks for trying to tell us not to be fooled, but in retrospect it seems that the only one you are "Fooling" here is you.... You have the nerve to take the time to get in front of your computer, get on line, find citysearch, write a whole bunch of bad stuff about the people who employ you, yet you dont have the courage to say any of this to thier face, which would take less than a quarter of the effort than it took for you to go and tell us all this. Thanks Taquero 101, at least our perseption of this restarant isnt ruined because of some immature cowardest employee. Over and out!
- Pros: great food, great horchata!
- Cons: Immature employees, apparently...

I have been working for El Rey for 8 years and the only thing that my boss has been is loyal to me and my family. There is nothing dirty about this restaurant the only bugs and rodents are the ones that are outside our restauant. We keep it in prestine condition as you can see with our gloves. I am sorry that our boss likes to take a vacation once in a while (only human). CiCi2006 I feel sorry for you that you feel this way. It is sad that you characterize all of us latinos as illegal workers. The only things that you seem to be describing is your dirty kitchen in your own house. I am sorry things are not working out for you but it is obvious that El Rey kind of knows what they are doing. I mean they are ranked in the city for best quick eats. They are always striving to do more to help the buisness in every aspect. If you are so miserable then quit because I am tired of picking up your slack....... You know who you are.. I will leave it at that.
- Pros: Awsome Food
- Cons: Disgruntled Worker
Premade food at your service

Went to the new location on the katy fry. Ordered beef fajitas. The meat was overseasoned & tough. Everything is ala carte. I might try lunch but right now Ivan disappointed
