We called and placed an order saying we wanted fluatas de pollo asado and a burrito de pollo asado and instead we got this.We though the fluatas looked like carne asada because of how burnt it is but when we opened it, they were pollo guisado that was dry.The burrito was steak and when they said they’d exchange it they called me when I was almost there and told me to bring the food, that had been sitting out in our store for about 30 mins, back to get our items refunded.Unfortunately I couldn’t because my break was about to be over and my coworker was frustrated and just ordered from a different place.The person on the phone also sounded like she was done working there or she didn’t know the menu.NEVER AGAIN.
Wow! $42.00 for a giant size Burrito, & a super Steak nacho, large Horchata, ok the nacho wasn’t worth it.It barely had any steak meat just a lot of condiments and the Burrito was the same way.Where is the meat if you guys are going to be charging such high prices at least add the meat, the Horchata tasted like water barely any flavor for the price I paid I expect that much much more.It’s a shame to because the little pieces of steak I had taste good my expectations was not met.
Once one of my favorite places on the southwest side, this place has come down significantly.Like many other small restaurants across Chicago that have taken a hit by Covid, El Rey has adjusted business losses by raising prices and lowering quality and quantity.It seems like you can't go to a small mom and pop restaurant any more without paying 30 to 40 dollars for a dinner for 2 and get average to below average food.We all know that prices never come down once they go up, so take a deep breath and start planning on making food at home more often.
