El Rey Burrito Lounge

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

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!

This is one of my most favorite places in the world! The scenery is beautiful, the food is DELICIOUS, the service is top-notch (our server let my daughter and niece and nephew feed the fish in the pond while we waited for our food. He also went out of his way to prepare corn for my picky nephew. The drinks are SO GOOD, and last but not least, the prices aren't insane! I can't wait to go while there's live music.

We had some fantastic food last weekend. Burrito, a mix of tacos, roasted corn, a mix of chips and dips, margaritas, and tres leches cake!! The bartender knows their stuff and everything was seasoned very well. My favorite was actually the sweet potato taco. It's so good and the goat cheese is a nice addition. Service was also really good as well.

I love this place. Great vibe, always awesome service. They have a great beer selection. The food is good. The wait can get pretty crazy on the weekend and with large SOS parties. The reliability of a good place with good food and good service in Montgomery can be a challenge, but El Rey pulls it off. Keep up the good work, guys.
