Was Sporty Old Brit at El Rey Mexican Restaurant a mag?
I've been to hundreds of Mexican restaurants. This one is my favorite! Best carnitas I've ever had. I recommend ordering them with Verde sauce and the salsa, I could drink! View all feedback.

What Roxane Runolfsdottir dislikes about El Rey Mexican Restaurant:
poor service. eating bad. looks dirty. my little ones were burned so I couldn't even eat them. When I told the waitress, she told me that they would give me extras next visit! there is no next visit. I should have known that there is nothing better because the waitress 69 had tattooed on her wrist! I told him the guy when I paid, and he didn't cost it to him in the round. he also said they had a new cook. bad service... View all feedback.
