This is my favorite place to come to with my family, until today. We were done with our meals but not done ordering drinks. The short stubby owner brought us the check when he wasn’t even servicing us, we didn’t ask for it, and we wasn’t even done yet. RUDE RUDE RUDE. The skinnier owners are much nicer.

Awesome food, I haven't been there in a while, but man can they cook!

El Rey, a beloved Spanish restaurant in the neighborhood, has a mixed reputation when it comes to customer service. However, for many loyal customers, the delicious food makes up for any shortcomings in service. Despite some negative experiences with rude or inattentive staff members, the majority of visitors praise the tasty dishes served at El Rey, such as boneless chicken, chicken empanadas, and arroz con gandules. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining, music, and a bar area, making it a popular spot for both food and drinks. Some diners have had issues with communication due to a lack of English-speaking staff, but overall, El Rey remains a go-to destination for authentic Spanish cuisine in Brooklyn.
