I visited El Rey on a Tuesday evening, and it's a gem on Buford Highway. Be prepared to circle the parking lot a few times, as it's small and shared with a number of other businesses. El Rey is typically pretty busy, so expect a wait - but the food is well worth it. The salsa is spicy and flavorful, a great start to the meal. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Personally, I love the burrito with rice and beans. The flavors are authentic and satisfying. The service is always attentive and nice, making the experience even better. Overall, El Rey is a great choice for Mexican food. Highly recommended!

I been coming to this restaurant for about 7 years. It is very authentic and the tacos are really good and when I say let's do Taco Tuesday this is what I mean. The service is pretty good, it's extremely busy I feel like all the time. So do yourself a favor and make a reservation before you get there because the wait times are ridiculous. Like 45 min sometimes. The ambience is busy too but it's good food so just stick it out!

One of my favorite taco places in Georgia! My friends and I come here often late at night to get our taco fix! Wait times are sometimes long due to the popularity, but you're always seated faster than expected. It seems they've recently upgraded their interior with new seats, tables, and decoration. However, the food is still as delicious as it has always been!

This place always hits the spot! Service is quick, food is fresh, delicious and authentic, and prices are decent! Today we had lunch here and tried Al Pastor, Carne Asada and Camarón con Cebolla tacos. All super delicious with hand made tortilla. Something about their sauces is amazing too. Not extremely spicy but with a kick. The Chips & Salsa they serve in the beginning is so good too. You can tell the chips are freshly made in house. Portions are huge. Service was super friendly and helped me with all the questions I had. There's also so much parking around it. We came in for a quick lunch so we only had their tacos but I will definitely be back and try the tortas! ESPAÑOL Este lugar siempre da en el clavo! El servicio es rápido, la comida es fresca, deliciosa y auténtica, y los precios son decentes! Hoy almorzamos aquí y probamos los tacos de Al Pastor, Carne Asada y Camarón con Cebolla. Todo súper rico con tortilla hecha a mano. Algo en sus sauces también es sorprendente. No muy picante pero con un toque súper rico. Los chips y la salsa que sirven al principio también son muy buenos. Se nota que los chips están recién hechas en casa. Las porciones son enormes. El servicio fue súper amable y me ayudó con todas las preguntas que tenía. También hay mucho aparcamiento a su alrededor. Vinimos para un almuerzo rápido, así que solo comimos tacos, pero definitivamente regresaré y probaré las tortas!

Hands down one of the best mexican restaurants in OTP! It gets busy during weekend. Expect 20 to 30mins wait. (They do have a queue system with text updates). They changed the menu since i have last been here. Now serving tacos, quesadilla, fajitas and lots of sea food options. The chips and salsa are one of the best IMO. The food is outstanding. We got to try the tacos and mini quesadillas. Highly recommend the mini ones which are made with in house corn tortilla. (They are about the size of tacos - check pic for reference). Cant beat the prices! Very affordable. Parking can be tight. Park in the nearby complex (Google maps set to Arepa or Cuckoos cafe).

Authentic and affordable Mexican food. This place stays open pretty late, and it is always packed which tells you about the popularity. I have tried the steak quesadilla and the green sauce is truly the winner. When you are seated, you get a generous portion of chips and salsa. The food always comes out super quick, and the servers do a great job refilling your drinks and salsa. El Rey is amazing and I am always eager to come back to get my Mexican fix.
