The cleanest and most organized store anywhere. They have such a great selection of vegetables, dry goods, meats, and deli. They have everything you can imagine needing a fat as grocery. Good prices and very nice staff.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Milwaukee. The food is fresh and hot and the tortillas are made on site. Everything on the menu is delicious.

This store is just like the one on the Southside. I basically go there for the tamales, which are not as good as their sister store but still pretty ok.

Every associate I spoke with was knowledgeable and very friendly and ALL of them told me to have a nice day! Very organized and super clean store which made browsing a nice experience. Their handmade chips are great and the tamales are super good too.Will definitely be returning to this location and will pass the word on!!

I love this place!!!! I have not had a bad experience here yet. The staff is friendly the manager is great. They have good deals every week. Its where I go to get my fresh chorizo, chicken fajitas, al pastor, the restaurants inside has fresh and I mean fresh made juices.Every week they have a deal of some kind of in the restaurant, the food there is very very good. Homemade chicharrones, the good kind with that little bit of meat on them. And I love that I am only three blocks away from them, the one on 51st and Oklahoma.And while shopping here. I found out that you can buy taco meat and I am hooked, and Im not talking about ground beef people. I also like to get my pork shoulder here for when I make pulled pork. They sometimes have it priced at $0.99 a pound.I think my favorite thing here is El Reys homemade flour and corn tortillas. And if you catch them on a day when somebody is actually making them, its really interesting to watch.

I usually go in the morning when there arent a lot of people. The hot food is always fully stocked, as is the bakery. Theres always a bunch of selection of meats as well. Big coffee and hot drink mix selection like hot chocolate and atole. The produce is usually pretty good too. Whenever I have trouble finding crispy and fresh grapes, I end up coming here and wonder why I dont come here first because theyre always exactly what Im looking for. The only downside about El Rey, and not just this location but all of them...is that they close at 1900. I get we are still in a pandemic, but a lot of people still work and its hard to go before work or immediately after when you have kids. Even 2000 is a better option. That one hour makes a huge difference for some people, including me. If it werent for the closing time. Id give them 5 stars.

Not so good. Advertised chicken thighs on sale, bough it, it looks like everything but the real chicken thighs you buy in the supermarket.. had this experience with ribeye steaks on the past with this market. They were the worst quality meat ever. Not coming back again. Do not recommend!

Nice store. Hot food is ok but they dont give condiments so your ultimately eating dry food if you plan to eat it right away or want to buy sour cream and salsa

Good prices. Smaller store but huge selection. You can find whatever you need and more. Restaurant in the store is also good. You can quick run in and run out for a small purchase or shop for the month. You can even pick up a hot dinner to go home with. Try the tamales.Love this place.

I havent shopped at El Rey on Oklahoma for the past 6 months. The last time we bought food here the chicken and pork meat I bought was spoiled. I decide to try agian today.. I bought chicken thighs and breast. Got in the car and drove 4 Blocks! The smell was HORRIBLE!!! I pulled over and started smelling the bags. It was the chicken .. just nasty! Took my chicken back and the cashier know right away. He said they kerp having issues but no one seems to do anything about it! Wheres Managment??? Never agian!!

Update: After waiting in line to check out for quite a few minutes (4th out of 5), I get to the front of the line and the check out person turns her light off and says Im closed and walks away. Now again at then end of another line spend a total of more than ten minutes waiting to check out. I mention that the lane tight next to him shut down on me making me wait an extra six minutes.This check out person only tells me my order total, and after payment have a great day.Original: A great little local grocery store in the neighborhood, convenient with a range of merchandise, fresh produce and meats, a small bakery area, including fresh doughnuts. A smaller selection due to store size restrictions but quite a wide variety of Mexican products. The El Rey app allows you to receive coupons and specials.

We stop in El reys once in awhile for select cuts of meat such as rib pork chops because we like a little fat around the edges. Thin slices of certain steak for sandwiches thats about it.

Great place to find Hispanic foods and products. Prepared food section is great, they have Chicharrones con Carne, Carnitas, Tamales, Flautas which are all good. Their fresh baked good section does not lag behind, their churros are some of the best I’ve had. Produce section is clean and organized, prices competitively set with big supermarkets. You will find all that you need in this store and then some. I will definitely be coming here again. Just restrain yourself from buying everything you see in here, your wallet will definitely be grateful for it.

A bit roomier than the 35/Burnham El Rey. Bakery fresher than some Mexi grocers, empanada just a tad greasy but very full inside and burrito not greasy but equally well stuffed. Too far to be my regular store but I will be making special trips. Such friendly cashiers, volunteering info I didnt even know I needed!

They have nice new coolers in the diary and meat aisles! Great selection of authentic ingredients. The food at their attached restaurant is always fantastic and very modestly priced. They have a great selection of fresh bakery and sweets, as well as fresh hot food by weight, such as tamales, empenadas, pico de gallo, and of course refried beans.

They are always so nice here and the food is always amazing. I enjoy that they open at 7am since I work 3rd shift and their entire menu is available in Taco Loco, and they have hot dinner-type foods available in the store displays as well. Their prices are beyond reasonable for the portions and the food is amazing.
