El Rey Burrito Lounge

"I visited El Rey yesterday before an event that was in the area. There was over an hour wait for the first available table but I got lucky and was able to grab two seats at the bar within 5 minutes. They serve one of the best margaritas I have ever had and they have a great drink menu. I ordered 2 street tacos, chips and queso and my only complaint was that I told them that I was allergic to onions and asked to make sure none would be included with my meal. They had onions in their pico de Gallo and were going to leave that off but forgot. It was a busy night so I just dealt with it and the sweet potato street taco was fabulous. I would not have waited an hour so I am glad I was able to sit at the bar, this is definitely one of the better places to eat in Montgomery."

"Great neighborhood place. Service is friendly and food is a different take on some Mexican dishes so a nice change. Cheese dip and margaritas were both excellent. Not the first visit and will not be the last."

"I have heard so much about El Rey, and we were finally in town to try this legendary food joint. I have as of late been over the "from the can to the microwave" Mexican food, and El Ray was such a breath of culinary fresh air. The queso dip, the guac, even the accidentally spicier-than-normal salsa/pico left nothing to be desired. My wife is a veteran fan of the food so she got the puerco verde quesadilla, and i went with the bean/rice/cheese/guac burrito with salsa/pico added in it. The rice was distinct in wonderful flavor, the guac was fresh, and whole whole burrito was awesome and filling. We sprang for a snifter of some fine sipping tequila, the Gran Centenario Leyenda Extra Añejo, and the essences that glass of beauty brought forth really brought a nice end to the night with wife and mother-in-law at El Rey. Cudos to the service, bartender, and the chefs totally rocking a small, independent food joint!"

"A staple of Old Cloverdale, the burrito lounge is a unique but high end take on Tex Mex. Lots of great drinks, and flavors. The rustic outdoor seating can be great at the right times but can occasionally disappoint depending on weather and lighting. This explains the flash needed to photograph my plate. Glad it's been successful for as long as it has and wish then many many more years"

"Get the Korean BBQ street taco! It’s so good. I was in town for one night only and this is where we went. Our hostess was great. Our food came out on the wrong plates, but the manager got it fixed ASAP. Refills came fast for drinks and chips."
