El Rey Alvarado

Best tacos I’ve ever had! I am very picky.was blown away at how delicious these were. Will be back every time we visit this way! Thank you for making my day!

Passing through on our way home from camping at Cleburne State Park on Sunday 10/8. It’s a total hole in the wall off 67 that we made a u-turn to get to once we spotted it. I have been wanting to try birria tacos for months and months since I started seeing them on the tikey tok. I finally tried them here. Get the birria quesa tacos because that comes with the consumme whereas the regular Burria taco plate does not. It comes with 5 tacos and a big ol bowl of the sauce, lime and a small bowl of the creamy green salsa. When I tell you this was the best thing I have put in my mouth in a long time I freaking mean it! Soooo worth the wait for me to try. I am still bummed I let my fiancé try one so I only had 4 tacos lol. My plate was $12.99.

My fiancé got the chicken fajita plate and he enjoyed it. This review was mainly about my Burris tacos haha!

Oh the table next to us just got flauta plates and those look delicious as well! Stop by try them!!! You won’t regret it! They close at 3pm - at least on Sundays

Best tortillas and breakfast tacos in DFW! I come here everyday for breakfast because they’re terrific and it’s also inexpensive. I love the potato egg and cheese tacos and rice beans and cheese tacos. My moms favorite item here is the green guacamole salsa! We love you guys! Thank you for always taking care of us and treating us like family. I will refer everyone to you guys!

I had a great experience eating here! The food was some of the best I’ve had and the service was very welcoming. I had the panbazos and birria tacos. 10/10 will come back next time I’m in town.

As someone from. EL Paso. I know good Mexican food. El Rey reminded me of that! We were a party of 3 and each of our dishes was authentic and so good! The music added to the great atmosphere. The owner was super nice, too. If you are driving through or into Alvarado, I HIGHLY recommend it!

If you are traveling by this restaurant you have to stop by here and get something great to eat. I just stop by hear with my Mom and Dad along with my son and let me tell I live in Dallas. This restaurant deserves a 10/10 for food and service. Just look at these SLABS of catfish and huge shrimps. My mother said the Chili Relleno was very delicious and look at how huge the plate looks. My son had the Menudo here and also said it was great. You deffentaly have to come here and eat. You will definitely get your moneys worth and more. Take a look at these delicious meals we ordered.

I heard this place had chili rellenos, which I love, so I had to try them. I ordered two of their beef chili relleno plates with rice and beans. The man taking my order said it has red sauce on it so I asked him to put that in a container on the side. My husband and I moved here to Texas going on four years ago and I have to say of all the Mexican restaurants we've eaten at, this has to be THE BEST chili relleno rice, and beans we've ever had!! And that red sauce I asked for on the side...I could've drank that stuff! Amazing.. and will definitely be back! Very courteous as well🙂

My 2 sisters and I, decided to stop at this little place along the highway headed home from the airport! It was fabulous, service is great, guacamole is to die for! Highly recommend! It doesn't look like much from the outside but when you go in it is very clean and the food is delicious!!

Uhmmmm. How have we not been here before? Hands down the best Mexican food we've had. We've been to almost all of them in Alvarado, venus, midlothian, mansfield, burleson, waxahachie. But this place? Was amazing! It was a little toasty in there, but other then that. You've gotta try this place!

I've passed this restaurant many times. Finally decided to come in and try. Definitely did not disappoint. Their quesa birrias were delicious. Thankyou so much. God bless your establishment. Amen.

Comfortable surroundings. The best food ever! Birria queso tacos are life! Get the spicy Verde sauce btw and enjoy!!!!

Happen to stop in coming through town and the service was great and the food was amazing.
Highly recommend this restaurant.

Love places like this. A varaible hole in the wall because they are the BEST places to eat. El Rey is no exception. We ordered the Barria flautas and the Pozole Verde. Both absolutely delicious. I even commented that the flautas were the best I have ever had and that’s saying something for this 56 yr old. Service was fast and friendly. If you’re hungry in Alvarado, El Rey will not disappoint.

This place is the real deal. No TexMex here. Pure Mexican. The Birria Quesatacos were amazing as was the Chiliquilas. Highly reccomend. Will be a regular every time I'm on my way to DFW.

It was absolutely delicious. Food was fresh and I just can't believe we waited so long to go!!!

This place is legit. Not TexMex, authentic elevated Mexican street food in a quaint, clean diner. This level of quality is rare in this area.

Authentic Mexican food
Caldo de res.. the bomb
Birra quesadilla the best I've had..
Friendly and clean environment

This place is great! I recommend trying trying Birira quesatacos. It's pretty much street taco with quesadilla shell that you dip in a soup. Messy but great!

We were driving thru Alvarado from Waco to Ft worth and had not eaten...I am soooo glad we stumbled across this place! Best Mexican food yet!!! Stop in you won' t regret it!!

Great seafood and I tried Pozole that was perfect ❤
