Food is usually good but had a horrible experience with a rude waitress. Never going back
Feels like a cafeteria. Very uncomfortable.<br>Service is slow. Food not tasty and came cold as did the second coffee.<br>You have to be wearing if the bill is over $50 the tio is automatically added but when they bring you the check its not shown but the place to put tip is blank.<br>If you didnt read the note you will add another tip not knowing you already paid one. I believe its a way to cirvcumvent paying tax or hoping a second tip is put.. Dishonest 100% either way.
Food is fresh n delicious however the portions of the beans was watery. (excelent flavor.)<br>Fried Platanos not good burnt n dried.
Really good food here. Nice portions. Reasonable. Haven’t had good mofongo like this is a while. The chicharron was crispy and moist. The waitresses are stunning there as well.
The service was great. The waitress was very helpful even though there was a language barrier she tried her best to communicate and understand what we wanted. The food was okay. Tried something new which wasn’t normal to my pallet but it was still good.
I recently dined at El Rey Restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The dish I tried exceeded my expectations, and it was clear that a lot of care went into the preparation.<br>The service was equally impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we walked in. They were happy to answer questions about the menu and offered great recommendations.<br>Overall, I was very pleased with both the food and the service at El Rey Restaurant. I look forward to coming back soon and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
Visiting family and came to this spot. The food is absolutely delicious!
Highly recommended… your tastebuds will thank you!!!<br>Big portions, big flavor, endless choices of mouth watering goodies to choose from.<br>Plenty of seating, you name it, they have it.<br>Put this place on your bucket list, a must try.
First time here and it was a great experience. The food was so absolutely yummy. The people were so nice. It's definitely I must try and try again
Take me to a place where I can have a delicious home-cooked meal! This Dominican restaurant is where it's at! Whenever I visit them, I'm never disappointed as their dishes are always bussin with flavor. Don't forget to try their sancocho and pair it with A Presidente beer!
Food was great, service could be better.<br>We had fried snapper. Two orders of fried boneless chicken, which was amazing. Yellow rice and red beans, white rice and red beans, and tostones. We also had chicken empanadas fresh from the oil!! Delicious!!!
Went there to celebrate my mom's birthday. Food was absolutely delicious and the Sangria was amazing and refreshing. Service was great as well. It was my second time there after several years. I look forward to going back!
Great Food ! Music playing while u eat or drink they have a bar area & they got tv on walls . The place is clean with friendly and polite staffs .indoor and outdoor dining. This is a must go again spot for your drinks and or food.
Food was horrible. Everything had no flavor, they only gave me 3 oxtails in oil. I paid 30$ the yellow rose had no flavor and the rice and beans tasted old. I called to make a complaint and they keep hanging the phone up I do not recommend this place to anyone
