  • Opened by the same folks behind Bar Raval, El Rey really really misses the mark in all things that make Bar Raval-or any bar in that case; successful. I came here on Saturday night to a bustling El Rey. Was very excited to try the food and drinks but I left so dissapointed and disatified. First there was no hostess but 2 wait staff told us a table of two would probably be a 2 hour wait. We were invited to hang out at the bar area which was crowded, a young group of 4 women monopolized 7 stools and a hefty portion of the bar while we stood around (they should have not let this happen at least with the stools). Another staff asked us if we wanted to order and food or drinks we said we were waiting for a table for 2 and he said there was one available (what happened to the 2 hour wait?) While he was seating us there was another wait staff that was about to usher another couple to the same table (where is the organization/communication?). Food: There are many items off the menu with MP (Market Price) including the quesadilla and Mexican sandwhich. I understand MP for seafood but for bar snacks? Really?. Not to mention the 3 staff we spoke to didn't even know the prices for the MP items. We were told the quesadilla sold out. So we tried the sandwich and the beef open face quesadilla thingy (sorry forgot what they called it). Not impressed at all. The sandwich was halibut which was great but for $15 it should not be a sandwich on its own. You can probably bring your $15 and get a full meal with it not just a half sized sandwich or equal or better quality. The flavours were not exciting, some guacamole and red cabbage to dress it up was unimpressive. The beef thing was horrible. It was steak pieces with what seemed to be an Italian marinara sauce and cheese on a tortilla. Drinks: You know how it feels a when you order an iced tea from Starbucks and realize after 3 sips that you just waisted your money on ice? Well you will feel the same equal disappointment with El Reys cocktails. The cups are filled with crushed ice to the brim, two sips and your drink is done, you are left staring at a glass full of ice (literally!). I understand crushed ice for some types of cocktails like something more heavily liquor based but for a refreshing summery drink like the Mexploitation which is their version of a Mai Tai (iced tea based Cocktail) you'd expect to get a fair amount of drink. I really am never THIS disatisfied with a restaurant. The staff was really friendly but so disorganized. The food and drinks are crazy overpriced for the portions and quality. If I could get my money back I would in a heart beat.
