El Rey is an absolute gem in Philadelphia! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere, adorned with vibrant flags and the right amount of Latin music, set the perfect mood for our dinner.

We arrived on a busy Saturday and were pleasantly surprised by the quick service - seated in just 30 minutes! I indulged in the heavenly queso fundido with chorizo served with warm tortillas, and the chicken tacos were simply divine, featuring fresh handmade tortillas. My mezcal margarita was one of the best I’ve ever had!

If you're looking for a great spot for happy hour with delicious bites, look no further! Highly recommend! 🍹✨
