Since we live within walking distance we frequent this spot on weekends. It offers a wide selection of Mexican food in a great setting. In the summer the deck seating is great while in the winter heating lamps keep you nice and warm. The restaurant itself is a small little college style restaurant that serves up good portions. Overall I... more

I've read the poor reviews of this place, but my husband and I love it and visit here often. Don't expect tex-mex, traditional mexican, or any other type of true mexican food.

Having grown up in California and having lived in San Antonio, TX, I can tell you, this place is neither tex-mex, california mexican, nor just plain mexican. Food was expensive and fairly low quality. I have to agree with the person that said,... more

El Rey provides a great respite from the usual strip mall atmosphere pervading Montgomery. Think laid back '60s California Chic. Margaritas flow by the pitcher, YUM. A good (by Montgomery) beer selection. Sounds like an iland in the sea of hell that is the Montgomery "culinary scene". The only flaw is the food, prices I mean. A burrito can easily... more
