“ Delicious food. Entrees really stood out to us, especially the scallop fish and the tuna. Tacos were incredible, would recommend the barramundi. The octopus main course was slightly lacking in flavour vs everything else we had, but could just be personal preference. We enjoyed it all and will be back for sure! Chilli Margarita was incredible. ”
“ Great restaurant serving delicious Mexican food and delicious cocktails. The staff are lovely and friendly. We ordered a selection of starters and mains to share. There is a set menu you can order but we decided to pick a few dishes off the main menu to share between 4 people. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening at this restaurant. ”
“ Absolutely loved our meal here! Every dish we ordered was spot on. My girlfriend couldn't stop talking about the ceviche, declaring it one of the best she's ever tasted (and she's a big ceviche fan!). My birria tacos were delicious, and the mushroom taco had this fantastic smokey flavour - a must-try if you enjoy that (if they add some spicy salsa into it then it will be perfect) The atmosphere was great, service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend! ”
“ Let me start by saying the food and drinks here are absolutely fabulous. We ordered the corn ribs, croquettes, chimichangas and birria tacos. All were phenomenal - hats off to the chef! The drinks were also delicious. I would recommend the Cucumber & Elderflower Margarita. Unfortunately the service really let them down. To start with, the venue is really difficult to find with Google Maps taking you to the wrong location. We had to ask a security guard at the nearby pub to point us in the right direction. There were no signs pointing us in the direction of the restaurant. Secondly, the staff were very inattentive and it didn’t seem like they had a specific waiter on our section - just random staff floating about so it was hard to get their attention. I feel like this restaurant has a lot of potential! However, work needs to be done in order to improve the atmosphere and service of the venue. ”
“ We had an amazing experience at El Rey. The food was delicious and fresh, with great flavours. We tried the tuna tostadas, chimichangas, tacos, quesadilla and a jalapeño margarita, and everything was excellent. The atmosphere is lovely, with beautiful décor and a welcoming vibe. Service was attentive and friendly. A really thoughtful touch was a happy anniversary card waiting on our table, something I have never seen at another restaurant. Highly recommend! ”
“ Have been a few times and loved the cocktails so brought the fam for Mother’s Day. Did not disappoint! Food and cocktails delicious as always and the service, second to none. Jalapeño Margarita = perfection in a cocktail Thank you! ”
“ We absolutely loved the place! Me and my wife are two Brazilians on vacation and found this hidden treasure near Cronulla Beach. The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing. Order the Raspberry Kiss and you wont regret it! Plus, all the staff were super nice and welcoming. We would love to come back! ”
“ We hadn’t been here for a few years and wanted a Mexican meal that wasn’t GYG. Easy booking online a few days out and our table was ready on arrival. Staff were lovely, attentive but not over bearing. Great menu that kept everyone happy and the drinks menu was just as good. It seemed quite busy but the drinks came out really quick, cocktails included, and the food came out without a long wait; spacing between course was perfect. The corn ribs were a standout. Good mix of young and older families, girls and parents night out while we were there. Will definitely return. ”
