MI REY Mexican Restaurant, Charcoal & Grill

The setting was great, good service. Just very disappointed in the food. I ordered the shrimp cocktail. Any other shrimp cocktail I have had is usually made of shrimp, tomato juice, lime juice, orange juice, Pico de gallo and avocado. The one served to me tonight seemed to be just shrimp served in a sweet tomato sauce, (almost tasting like ketchup) with avocado and Pico de gallo. Not good. I had high hopes when we walked in. I do hope the recipe gets better. This place looks great and has a wonderful vibe.

Fresh baked chips you can tell were just made, goes great with their signature homemade salsa. Tacos had perfect seasoning and the steak was cooked perfectly.

I had a terrific lunch at Mi Rey and look forward to returning. I got a carnitas sope, and it was the best sope I've had since I left California in 2009. My family got el pastor tacos, pollo asado tacos, shrimp tacos, and a fajita burrito. Everyone enjoyed their meal, and there was very little left over. The waiter was friendly, and the restaurant is clean. Overall, it was the perfect casual lunch.

The chips were not like any chips I've ever gotten at a restaurant- very hard and thick, and full of huge bubbles- it almost seemed like the wrong kind of tortilla had been used. We ordered queso, and it was extremely watery- dripped right off the chip- and did not get any thicker when cooled. The salsa was OK but did not taste super fresh, it was almost smoky. The chicken fajitas had OK flavor, but were very salty. They were also more expensive than advertised on the menu- they were listed at $14.99, but we were charged $20, which is a pretty significant jump. The only positives were 1) our server was was kind and responsive and 2) the

I ordered the taco combo and let me just say food was 10/10. I will be coming back to eat here again. All of the food is reasonably priced! And very good portion size. 02/18/26 I went back to mi Rey and ate inside. Service was phenomenal! I loved the food once again. This time I tried these steak fajitas 10/10 would recommend. Definitely try the red sauce with the fajitas! I love this establishment so much and I will be coming back
