El Rey – Philadelphia Restaurant – Philadelphia, PA | OpenTable
Inspired by the cuisines of Puebla and Veracruz, El Rey captures the essence of Mexican home cooking. Boisterous and broken-in like a laidback roadside cantina.

This restaurant is absolutely my favorite! The staff was amazing and so attentive with our orders. Hands down the best Mahi-Mahi tacos I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be coming back regularly. I’m from out of town and honestly wish I lived closer—this place is that good!

This is my first visit to El Rey. I was in town for work with a colleague and grabbed dinner. The decor looks like a retro restaurant and atmosphere has a cozy vibe. It was a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was about half full with the bar seats occupied. They offer a Happy Hour menu with apps and drinks from 4-6pm. I ordered the Hibiscus Margarita. It was more juice and ice with some tequila. The Guacamole, Salsa and chips were very good. I had the Chille Relleno (only one served) which is my go to Mexican dinner. It was served with Black Beans and Cilantro Rice. I’m used to this dish being served with Tortillas to sop up the sauce or make tacos. Overall, a good experience.

We had a great first experience here and will definitely return. Guacamole & chips were amazing! Probably my favorite part! Fajitas and enchiladas were delicious – fresh and flavorful. And I loved the ambiance and staff!

El Rey is amazing—incredible chicken tacos, delicious street corn, and a warm, energetic ambiance that draws you in. Even before going inside, while we were outside reading the menu, someone walking by told us how amazing it was. The friendly hospitality lived up to the hype, making it an easy favorite.

Great spot. The food was really good, everything came out fresh and flavorful, and the drinks were just as solid. What really stood out was the staff. We stayed past closing time and they never rushed us, never dropped hints that it was time to leave, and still treated us kindly the whole time. That kind of hospitality goes a long way. We’ll definitely be back.

El rey’s restaurant was a fantastic experience.
This place was like stepping back in time. The atmosphere is incredible. Friendly staff food was very good. We had chicken enchilada, chicken fajitas, and plantains. They also had a bottled Mexican Coke.
The food was good, but I would have guessed that the portions would have been a little beggar would probably be my only knock on the place, but besides that, it was a lot of fun, we enjoyed going and talking. And just simply looking around, the place. It has a lot of old articles and newspapers on the walls, and not to mention it was incredibly cheap for the 2 of us we only spent about $50. Definitely highly recommend checking it out.

I’ve been on a Mexican kick lately and trying some different places. Last week I tried El Vez, this week I came here. The tacos at El Vez were better, the tortillas at El Rey were weirdly thick and chewy, though the flavors were good. I had an insane chile relleno though, and the cocktails are great. The passionfruit marg was straight passionfruit, really tangy. I loved it, and $6 for HH is amazing, although I don’t think the drinks were very strong. The barstools are also very comfortable. Usually I’m dying after like an hour and a half and I spent most of the night chilling here. There are some other menu items I’d really like to try so I’ll be back.

Very tasty contemporary Mexican with great service. Drinks were delicious and the nachos were a huge winner for us. It was quite loud inside.
I’m also a little annoyed that the $5 Photo Booth doesn’t give you countdown and just starts taking photos so we have a very unprepared sequence of photos.

Yum! Great happy hour. We stopped in for appetizers and drinks before going to a comedy show at the Helium Club. The food was delicious. Wings, queso, plantains (outstanding!). Service was great. The staff is welcoming and attentive.

El Rey is a diamond in the rough! The food is incredible, our server Leila was extremely knowledgeable with all items on the menu and made us aware of all the specials. It was easy to have conversation with the family over our wonderful dinner, we highly recommend making this your next date night out!
