  Authentic Mexican fare, reasonable prices.  The family goes here every few months. I usually get enchiladas, but the fajitas are fine too, made with plenty of onions and bell peppers if you like the veggies. The wait staff is often rather lackadaisical though, whether it's bringing refills or at checkout time.  But it's good, home-cooked real Mexican fare, and even the kids like it.

  Standard Mexican fare, the portion size is well worth the price. Great atmosphere, service is awesome during peak times but can lag during primetime. The fajitas are the best thing on the menu.

  This Store gets 4 Stars because of the limited choices for the area.  It is good Tex-Mex for TN.   This is one of 2 Mexican restaurants in the area.  This one if my favorite.  
  
  El Rey is one of my top 3 Tex-Mex places in the Nashville area when it comes to "plain ol' " food.
  
  I am a big fan of "salsa picosa" (spicy salsa) and this place has some great stuff.  I usually judge a Tex-Mex place by the salsa and salsa picosa then the carnitas (roast pork).
  
  The service here is generally very good.  It is also generally clean.  I don't drink so I cannot give you a read on how good the margaritas are but my friends and family that do say they are good.
  
  If you are in the area, give this place a try.  If you like pork, try the carnitas and ask for some salsa picosa or some chili's toreados.  Add some heat to your food!

  Fajitas had no seasoning and the chicken was really fatty.

  Had lunch with a friend. They offer standard Mexican fare very well prepared. I had tacos de carne asada. The meat was tender and flavorful, there were three tacos generously stuffed. The refried beans were well seasoned and the rice was firm and flavorful. I tasted my friend's chile verde. It was meaty, with bold flavors and a nice heat. The service was adequate but uninspired. I'd go back in a heart beat and would be really happy if this was in my neighborhood.

  After Strattons was too busy, my Girlfriend and I stopped in here for lunch. (We even used the wrong door to get in, but it didn't seem to matter.)
  
  The prices are pretty right here.  We shared the Fajitas for two and for 20 dollars it was a lot of Fajitas.
  
  Otherwise a pretty average Mexican meal.  The waitress didn't seemed as concerned with us as might have been nice.  The parking might also be a problem, though we didn't have any when we were there.
