We found this hidden treasure on Google and let me just say it definitely did not disappoint. We went back twice at that. Food was great. Friendly staff. I even told a friend that was in Galveston when I left and she stopped in and loved it too. Definitely a place I'll return to when I'm back in Galveston. FYI it's cash or cash app only, glad I had cash on me which is rare. A must try ?

I've been coming here since high school.... One of the best on the island...

Reasonably priced and friendly service but food was not as we would have expected for an authentic Mexican restaurant. Other places have better food.

The best breakfast burrito ever... I've been going here since I high school, mind you I graduated in 2002. I've drove from Webster and now drive from Texas City just to get a burrito. It's always fresh and all the ingredients taste well together. They used to be only cash but now take Cashapp which is even better. You'll definitely enjoy ?

My boyfriend and I have been to El Reys since our freshman year of high school, and this is now our go to breakfast before work. The best affordable burritos in Galveston! ?

Wow, the regular burrito and surprise burrito were awesome! If you're from the San Antonio area, I would say they're even better than Mary's tacos. One should fill most people up, and they're only about $3 each. Definitely recommend and we'll be back.

The best Mexican breakfast for the best price

Best coffee hands down. My husband and I come to Galveston 2 or 3 times a year. And we stumbled in to this place the day after a hurricane blew threwGreat service great food. We will be regulars from now on!

This is like that small hole in the wall that ends up being the best restaurant you discover when visiting.There was no wait time and was instantly greeted after finding a seat. Their salsa was hot!! But couldn’t stop eating it, it was so good we ended buying some to take home back to Dallas. Our waitress was surprised as she had mentioned the amount of complaints for it being too spicy!I had ordered a breakfast burritos which was very big and everything ordered had a generous amount of food on the plate. Chilaquilas and pork chops with eggs was also ordered by my family and every plate was left clean! The food was THAT good!Food and service was excellent, 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting or to any locals who have yet to stumble upon this place!Would say they definitely have the best pricing and quality food in town! If you are looking for authentic food, look no farther this place is it!

Ghetto hot sauce baggie... but they bomb!!
