If you are near White Hall, El Rey is going to be your top pick for a few reasons.
1) You can get a full meal cheaper than McDonalds
2) Very fast!
3) You get a huge portion, and chips + salsa as extra "if you get a meal"
4) Very Tasty
5) You are helping a local restaurant

The carnitas- DRY as heck, forced myself to eat because it's a $20 meal lol. The cheese dip-$5 for literally like a side order that maybe should cost $2.. I'd say it's maybe like 2 oz of cheese lol. Ridiculous. As well as I ordered Churros and didn't even receive them.
Over all, very disappointed. I am a huge Mexican foodie and this was just, 0/10 man.

We will always love and support our favorite Mexican restaurant!everything there is delicious but since discovering the Jumbo Burrito el Cubilete we have to order that every time now. Get it with an extra side of fresh Pico de Gallo and it's absolutely amazing!

I did not expect the El Rey Chicken Soup Large to actually come in a large drink cup. Never encountered that at any mexican restaurant ever. I was expecting a quart cup. On the positive side, the soup tasted good. If there was more, would have been a great meal.

Tried the NEW Burrito el Jefe. Excellent! What a unique combination of flavors. I'll be ordering this again. And the Jumbo Burrito el Cubilete was just as delicious as always! This is my all-time favorite. It's just the best combination of flavors and that green sauce is just amazing. Always ask for extra ;)
The Beef Burritos (2) were great too. Always a classic. Simple and delicious.
An extra side of Pico de Gallo is always a must. It's not hot like other places around. It's perfect.
All together, my favorite food in all of Fairmont.
