Don’t let the exterior fool you—this place is full of surprises. From the outside, it may look a bit run-down, but step inside and you’re greeted by a surprisingly warm and inviting atmosphere. There’s a mix of open-air and indoor seating, giving it a relaxed, casual charm.
Now, let’s talk food—authentic doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every dish is made fresh and by hand, and the real star of the show is the open kitchen right in the middle of the bar. Watching the chef work just feet away adds a whole new dimension to the dining experience.
That said, quality like this comes at a price. The menu is on the pricier side for this type of cuisine, but when you factor in the freshness, craftsmanship, and overall experience, it’s clear you’re paying for more than just a meal—you’re paying for something memorable

We came to this location with a group of friends and the place looked magnificent! There was so much culture everywhere to look at, and they made us feel welcomed. They make the salsa and guac per recommendation at the table and the drinks were delicious. The food was fresh and had some flavor, good but could be better. I love the options they offer and the selection they have, the plates were well beyond satisfactory and I would probably come back with friends and family.

It’s hot. 94, 95 degree s. It’s dollar movie night at the Paramount. Indiana Jones, The Raiders of The Lost Ark. The movie doesn’t begin for another couple of hours. I’m really not hungry but I need somewhere to be until the movie begins. A lot of places are closed on Monday but not La Quinta de los Reyes on New York Street. My husband and I used to eat here sometimes back in the early 80’s when we were dating. Come to think of it, he took me to see Raiders of The Lost Ark and Star War’s. Back then, La Quinta de los Reyes main entrance was on Broadway. WOW! Just look what they’ve done to this place! I walk by here a lot and this place is always alive with people, music, food. Always, from walking on the outside, it conjures up thoughts of what is right in the world in people’s lives. Inside are several women at the bar enjoying their selves. Seeing them made me feel I need to sit with them and absorb some of their energy. They somewhat invite me to be involved with them as they take pictures. I decline but still enjoy their company as I listen in. Tonight, I’m kind of full. I’m just hot, on foot. Do I want a beer? Anything to drink? I opt for a on tap Corona. I don’t think I have ever had a Corona before. It was not bitter, which is of high priority to me when I have a beer. Which is not often. Or not often enough. One beer down and I could go for a little lite, cool bite to eat. Evan is my server at the bar. Fantastic! No attitude whatsoever. Just service, service, service. For food, It was decided on a small plate of salad with a lime wedge, a orange slice, a drizzle of french dressing. I think, also, a drizzle of ranch dressing. A side plate of saute’d shrimp, and an additional side plate of the most perfectly ripe avocado I have been served anywhere at any time. The only thing missing from this delicious, perfect, light meal was a tortilla to use to sop up the citrus juice and the dressing from the salad. Just, splendid! Now, on to my dollar movie at the Paramount.

What a great dinner!! We had two huge parrilladas for put family group. The meats were perfectly cooked with onion and a variety of pepper. They came to the table hot and fresh with burners to make sure they stayed hot. The corn tortillas was freshly made and super delicious. The wait staff was friendly and made sure everything was perfect for us. It was lovely sitting on their open air patio next to the river.

We hadn’t been at this authentic Mexican restaurant in several years and it has gotten even better. They have a large well-covered and protected outdoor seating area. They had music with a volume appropriate live singer who sounded real good. The food was delicious with one of us having an enchiladas plate and one having a grilled chicken bowl with peppers and onions. They made fresh guacamole and salsa at our table which was incredible. Also great and attentive waitress.

3rd time coming here first 2 times were very good but disappointed with my visit this evening. I ordered Costilas and wasn’t what I expected. Everywhere I’ve had Costilas they were in the form of spare ribs in green chile but not this one. They were in the form of steak cutlets which were just ok but nowhere near what I expected

Food was absolutely cold , fries looked reheated multiple times. The waiter was absolutely friendly and the service provided was great , however the food would’ve tasted better if it was warm. The food felt like it had been sitting out for atleast 10 minutes. Was expecting better , especially on a 140$ bill.

Went before a Paramount show. Great
Location right on the river. Skip the cucumber margarita and get a regular one. Enchiladas were great. Super fun for a birthday – singing, desserts and props
for photo ops. They were a little short staffed so plan enough time if you have tickets to a show.
