I don’t recommend this restaurant. They block people on their page if you ask them a simple and general question. Just letting everyone know that they’re evidently very easily offended if you don’t agree with their beliefs and opinions. My husband and I both got...upset stomachs last time we ate there too.More

The food is always served hot and very quickly! Delicious corn chips and salsa while you wait and the prices are very reasonable.

Very good have been several times. Never had a bad experience. Tried several different dishes all were wonderful. Even better now they have Mexican beer, tequila, and margaritas. I think their food has even gotten better over last year. We love this place.

The food comes quickly but it is perfect. We start with warm chips and salsa. They have Pepsi products to drink. My husband and I love the beans and rice that comes with most of the food. Usually I can’t eat the whole meal so...I take it home and have it for lunch the next day. The restaurant is clean and the staff is attentive. In our town it is open on Sunday for lunch.More

We took our grandchildren here on the way home from a weekend trip and was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food, some mexican restaurants in our area have become sort of bland, would go back by all means.

The food really lacked flavor. Had a chicken burrito that contained a lot of chicken but almost noi flavor. The service was slow even though the restaurant wasdnt very busy. I really couldn't recommend this place if you want spicy Mexican food. Also I as...noted by another reviewer they are not open on Saturday.More

Loved the food and the service. My only caution is that a half order is truly a half order, which is not always the case. Great service, food, and not super expensive.

Seems odd that Elrey is not open on Saturdays. Otherwise, you can count on good Mexican food...chips and salsa at a very reasonable price.

El Rey's is a great Mexican place for such a small town. We love the Texas Fajitas and a few other dishes. Since I live here I eat at this place almost once a week and I have had everything on the menu. The value...is good for the money so we always leave extra in our tip.More

Elray was a very pleasant surprise. The food was plentiful, hot, authentic and very tasty. The service was great. We were pleased enough we visited again the second night in town. Burkesville is a very small town with limited dining options, making the Elray a...real find. We are very big fans of Mexican food, and not easy to please. Early was great!More

Communication was not good here, broken English. Wouldn't be a problem except they kept bringing the wrong order. Chips, salsa, & queso are good, but the "authentic" mexican tacos are anything but. They don't cook the taco shells so you get raw corn tortillas.
