El Rey Mexican Eatery

I came in with a group of 5 people and it was all our first time visiting. The restaurant has a small-but-mighty seating arrangement. To my surprise, the lovely lady and gentleman working were happy to accommodate our larger group. I’m very thankful they did! The food was incredible - fresh, hot and undeniably authentic. I loved the young man’s enthusiasm for telling us all about authentic Mexican food. I ordered tostadas with potato and chorizo. It’s a combination that is tasty and unique. This restaurant’s passion and vision show in all aspects of their service and presentation. Undoubtedly, they are a gem in Hyde Park. I can’t wait to come back!

I read good reviews about El Rey and was a little tempered in my expectations given that, it seems like, reviews are sometimes inflated. Right away though I was impressed by the specials board which offered dishes that I was not used to seeing on your typical Mexican restaurant menu. The counter service was warm and friendly and I decided to get the red mole enchiladas. I could tell that this mole was made in house and it was one of three moles offered on the menu. I really enjoyed this dish and wouldn't hesitate to get it again, though am excited to try other dishes on the menu. I especially enjoyed the Champurrado which is a traditional lightly sweet drink made with corn and chocolate. The interior was cute and meticulously clean. I think there are 5 tables.

The best AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant in the Hudson valley! We go as often as we can with our 2 year old daughter who always enjoys her food as well.( her favorite are the tamales ) we have tried most of the menu my favorite is their torta de milanesa ! I love their breakfast torta special as well !! All in all everything is amazing and perfectly made. Fresh ingredients, authentic dishes, friendly staff and the best owners !

Authentic Mexican food! Everything tasted great. Very friendly service! Wish the place was closer to where I live. Small portions for the price.

Traveled to the Hudson Valley and went to the Vanderbilt mansion and looked for something to eat nearby while we waited for a scheduled tour of the mansion. THE el Rey Mexican Eatery popped up and had 4.9 stars and was 1 mile away. We were extremely happy we went! Atmostphere was very clean and welcoming. Amazing staff and the food was authentic, homemade, and so delicious! Their homemade guacamole and red smoked pepper hot sauce was 🔥 , the right amount of building heat, we like spicy and it had so much depth of flavor and the right amount of smokiness! We got the Nachos Del Ray and they were the best nachos we've ever had including the homemade tortilla chips! The green sauce they bring out was good too and had a hint of cilantro and coolness to it which tamed down the very growing h
