It's changed a lot since the previous owners and it's just not really worth the money in my opinion. The meat that's used in their tacos is not very good at all and the prices for portions on specific items is very high compared to other locations.Staff were good and place was very clean - zero worries in that aspect. Just food is not on quality as to the price.

First time at Rey’s today, and I was really impressed. They were very accommodating by making me a vegan version of their Burrito Vegetariano. The green sauce was excellent. Their salsa was great. The guacamole ranchero was really fresh. They also have outdoor seating!I’ll be back for sure!

We absolutely love going to Rey’s! The food is always good! My favorite drink is the strawberry margarita on the rocks. Service and food are amazing! It’s our go to restaurant. Everyone should go to Rey’s!

Eaten here several times with a variety of people/size of party. Everything has been cooked and served to excellence. The flavors are perfect and this is an authentic Mexican. The menu is large with lots to choose from. There’s a lot of competition in this area, and this is one of the very best. Quesadilla fajita or burrito fajita is probably my favorite.

This is a great little Mexican place with fantastic food! I ordered the authentic tacos with al pastor meat and they were fabulous. Everything we ordered had good flavor and seasoning. The salsa is thick and just a little spicy but not too much. Great, speedy service as well as clean and colorful in the restaurant.

Service here was great! I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was as well. I will say if you order the guacamole appetizer, don't expect a large serving. Otherwise, I'd return.

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. The server was nice enough but he seemed to have forgotten about us on the back patio, which would seem difficult considering we were the only patrons in the establishment. . . The drink glasses are not appropriate to the drinks being served, in essence the establishment only wants to give you a shot or two of alchohol per request of the customer which is appropriate, what is not is then pouring that into a glass that will appear empty with the proper amount of sweet and sour/mixer and to counterbalance the mistake that has been made they fill the glass with more mixer thus making the drinks taste awful, whereas they couldve served them in the proper glass and everything would've been fine. Drinks aside, seeing as this is a restaurant before a bar, I've worked in numerous Mexican restaurants I'm well aware the presentation leaves something to be desired, but at the risk of sounding redundant, presentation aside, this meal was made without care and tossed onto a plate as if it were made for some sort of cafeteria line or animal slop, which al biet are only comparable when you consider the similarities between children and animals, but I digress! This restuarant is horrible dont eat here.

Great food and fast service!

I feel they are over priced the food has a good flavor but the portion size you get is not worth it. I think I had a tsp of shredded chicken in a taco salad with very little cheese and it was on the salty side. The big burrito that was ordered was the size of a soft taco from taco bell. My grandbaby cheese pizza was mushy like it was microwaved. The margarita was good . But we will not go back.

Rey’s Mexican Grill was great!! The margaritas is the best I have ever tried and they also have so many selections. I will return!
