Though it was my first time being there and eating here .. it was fantastic and the Ambiance was amazing.. I had the stake tacos when the refried beans it was delicious and .. had a strawberry margarita .. omg that was so so good .. I definitely would be coming back.. 10/10 for me . And the service was truly nice .. our waitress was very friendly and nice

Fantástico! We were headed home from Maine - stopped in Wilkes Barre for the night. This was our dinner choice and we were pleasantly surprised. Starting with the clever decoration out and in, immediate greeting and seating, fast and efficient waitstaff and delicious food! The night was great! We sampled a marguerita, pina colada and a Mexican Coke. Queso and chips - dinner was off to a good start. Our party chose, steak tacos, fajita quesadillas and chicken fajitas. All expertly cooked and presented. We were stuffed when we left. This is a definite go to in this area. I hope I'm back someday!

My favorite Mexican restaurant, I have visited most of the restaurants in the Scranton/WB area and I keep going back to El Rey. Hands down the best and if I lived closer I would be there at least once a week if not more. My go to is a Mayan burrito but with the ever expanding menu it is hard to pick a meal. A friend turned me on to El Rey when on Blackman street and it has been nice to see them grow as more people find them. Gaston is one of the nicest owners you can meet and he has an excellent staff.

It's very nicely decorated inside. Even though they were 8 table deep with one server the service was fast. The food was very authentic my family is originally from Southern California and we've been missing good Mexican food. Everything was delicious

This place is so fun and well decorated! We ordered our food and drinks at the same time and by the time we finished ordering my Pina colada was already on the table! The portions are huge but so tasty!! Our food came out in probably 10 minutes, the service was so fast here. The menus were also iPads which was really fun and unique.

They've got it all: an awesome menu with food that tastes better than you can imagine, attentive, charming employees a bright artistic setting! This is a Valley Treasure spot

Best Mexican food ! Great decor & super great service, don't remember out waitress's name but she was super nice & attentive. Love this spot & service. The Salsa alone was great, who the hell pays that much attention & love to salsa? The fondue was delicious, really loved my chicken chimichanga & our waitress gave us 3 different level of pepper sauce, we also got a chicken burrito & a margarita flight that had 4 flavors & we enjoyed them all. Will definitely be back the next time we are this side of Pennsylvania. More than 5 stars

From the curbside, you will have no expectations but as soon as you open the door, you will be swept up in the spirit of this place! The decor is spirited and playful - be sure to walk around and admire it all. For our first visit, we tried a lot of options - taco salad, burrito and enchiladas supreme... plus three flights of margaritas. Salsa and chips were brought to our table upon arrival. It took a bit of time for our flights (because making 12 margaritas takes a minute!) but our giant lunch and drinks were worth the wait. Our dishes were not super spicy but favors were great. Proteins were perfectly cooked. We'll be back.
