El Rey - Calumet-Norvelt

Cheap tacos and beer. Fast service. Super clubby vibe

Dude, this place used to be my go to spot for quick Mexican style food, but today was a total letdown. I ordered my usual Chicken Nachos for pick up $15.75) on UberEats even though they do this 1/2 priced nachos thing on Wednesdays. I don’t mind paying full price so it’s ready when I arrive. It’s usually worth it.Got there, the vibe was cool, and the worker was chill AF, handed me my order. But when I was walking home, I swear the bag felt light, like, suspiciously light. Still, I gave it a shot. Opened it up, and bro, they straight up shorted me. Like, where's the rest of my nachos? Paid the full price for, like, a quarter of the usual amount. Not cool, not cool at all. Skipping this place from now on. Total rip off.

Don’t go here if you’re black unless you want to be ignored at the bar while others are served right away.

Excellent music, I personally was more of a fan of their Mezcal drinks and their flexibility to replace the tequila for Mezcal. The Nachos were also pretty decent, but a couple chips were a bit soggy from the cheese sauce.

How on earth does this place serve a burrito with no salsa. I ordered a burrito and it was decent, but dry as hell so I asked for salsa and they said it would be three dollars. He said oh but the hot sauce is free and gave me sriracha, who wants sriracha on Mexican food?? This might be the only mexican joint in the world that doesn’t serve a burrito with some salsa. crazy
