El Rey

This place is exceptional for many reasons, but my favorite being their care and consideration toward allergies, food sensitivities, and dietary restrictions. Simply amazing food and service!

Simply amazing. You have to get the Zarape, it was delicious! Very filling. Great ambiance. Friendly staff . One of the best places in Rittenhouse.

Happy with my happy hour decision (as it should be). Thick cut chips , guacamole sampler, and a bunch of $1 tacos really hit the spot. The blood orange margarita was on point. Rich decor, low light .

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the philly/Jersey area. Great happy hour deals on food & drinks. Tacos are amazing. Don't skip those. Guacamole here is simple & amazing.

Happy hour is a great deal! Had 2 fish tacos and 2 steak . Both were amazing! If you like spicy , make sure you ask for their habenero hot sauce . It's homemade , delicious and packs a kick.

Very cool little place. The food was delish! I shared their app special that night which was 4 different flavored guacs , wow great twist on guac !! Then I ate their short rib enchiladas yummy!!

Nachos come served on a tray the size of a medium pizza and are AMAZING. Margaritas are good, and so are the moles . Go crazy. Get one of everything. You won't be disappointed.

The squash blossom zucchini quesadilla is outstanding! Tamarind margarita with chili salt rim balances the sweet and spicy drink perfectly ???? ???????? both MUSTS

The happy hour here is almost too good to be true. Also, try the enchiladas . Tacos are on point but the enchiladas are a gem

If you’re up for a challenge, get the grande quesadilla . It’s approximately two feet long and is packed with all sorts of delicious meats and veggies . The classic margarita is solid.

Camerones are delicious and buttery. Happy hour tacos are tiny but tasty-- beware they're topped with cilantro and raw onion if that's not your thing. Steak is shredded. Churro a and guava marg rock.

Salsa and chips are made on premises and are the the best I have had in Philly so far. Service is also tops at brunch/lunch. Food is a close second behind Jose Pistoles on 15th.

Awesome happy hour Monday- Friday 5:00-6:30pm. $4 margaritas , $1 tacos , $2 can of tecate , and more! Show up early to get a table before the crowd comes!

A classical Mexican cantina, yummy food. Can get crowded and really loud during rush hours, but you come there for eating, not talking! Nom nom!

Happy Hour , Happy Hour , HAPPY HOUR ! Dollar taco's and discount beer and drinks! Service is great too, they make splitting checks really easy!

So good! Staff and food are AMAZING! I tried the mushroom quesadilla and it was amazing! Good vegetarian option .

Best nachos !! Put your name on the waiting list for speakeasy as soon as you get there to dine! Deff a must check out!

Nacho average Mexican diner with specialties like wild mushroom soup and short rib enchiladas . A "secret" passageway leads to its sexy sister bar , the Ranstead Room .

the alambre de pollo has great flavor. you can't go wrong with perfectly-cooked chicken , onions , bacon , hot peppers , cheese , mushrooms , and onions .

Enchiladas come three to and order, and are more than filling enough so no need to pony up the extra $$$ for the rice and beans sides.

The Fast Lunch menu is a great price and just the right size portion. Try the cactus salad and chicken enchiladas . The Apple soda is pricey but very good.

Tortilla soup (sopa de tortilla ) id served in a way i have never seen, so distinctive, you gotta try it. And of course it's good :)

Best taco happy hour on the city .

ASK THEM FOR THEIR HOTSAUCE... they make it in-house, it differs daily and can be really spicy depending on peppers used. i would buy this if i could (i can't, i asked)

Ok, start with happy hour . I was so sold on the cheap eats that I had to try the eggplant enchilada-let me just say wow!

Monday-Friday is $1 tacos , $2 tecates , $3 coors, $4 margaritas , $5 flavored margarita !

Happy hour is the way to go here. $1 tacos , $2 beer , $4 margaritas (plus other specials)!

Great Mexican food and drinks. I look forward to my next visit.

Try the mint habanero sauce . It's not hot, it's light and cooling.

The chicken tacos are delicious. They are small so you might want two orders.

Great happy hour specials . Margaritas and $1 tacos . Steak are the best.

Try the duck Confit if u come with a friend!

Blood Orange Margarita , Mezcals , Corn on the cob and nachos- happy campers! ????????????

Outstanding margaritas and quesadillas !!!! Definitely recommend El Rey!!!

Go to the speakeasy the Ranstead Room afterwards. Ask your waiter and they can take you through the kitchen

New steven Starr restaurant in the old midtown diner . Completely new menu but the decor has small upgrades and much is original to the diner . Definitely get the churros for dessert !

Nachos and jalapeño pineapple margarita is the way to go!

Grab a seat at the counter and try a Tamarind Margarita or a draft craft beer in a boot.

Get the tamarind marg . Just trust me.

used to love the steak tacos but the current brisket tacos ain't bad either, still prefer the steak tacos though...bring those back!

Definitely go for the happy hour specials ! Of the tacos I preferred the fish tacos .

Portions are large, but not disproportional to the price you pay for it. The food was plain and I hardly ate it. I got the fajitas , guacamole and street corn . Nothing authentic .

The house margarita is a crowd pleaser. Get a pitcher (or two).

El Rey is all about celebrating the kind of great food you’ll discover in Mexico’s smaller towns , open-air markets , roadside joints and home kitchens.

Short rib enchiladas con mole . Not too shabby.

This is an awesome kitchsy Mexican Joint in Philly! Chef Dionico Jimenez makes the best short ribs in a sandwich-like torta .

Good, strong margaritas & guacamole ! Try the plato fiesta - great way to sample everything!

$1 tacos and $2 tecate beers Monday - Friday, 5pm - 6:30pm

The corn on the cob is slathered in three different gross sauces. Just be warned. The tacos are very tiny. But the guacamole is delicious! Better than that of El Vez.

The food is amazing! Highly recommended!
