I love the meat! It's hard to find good beef sometimes but they have it all! Always my first stop for ground beef or taco meat. The stew meat is tender. Also, churros!! Theirs are to die for, not hard or too crunchy and they have some yummy fillings. All their desserts are good. Only issue with this particular location is space... they have everything really crammed in there, some aisles there is no room to turn around, so hope no one else needs something while you're in the way. I do wish they had a few more bilingual employees, I can't speak a lick of Spanish and had a confusing Google Translated conversation with the girl at the dessert counter.

This is an illustration of how people are supposed to be treated. Whether perceived or literally illustrated, we must treat each other with the respect we all deserve. Please allow me to explain: This morning I went to this el Rey's store location for my daughter. I had a previous negative experience with el Rey's ( expired dates on the chicken, so they were spoiled... new labels had been placed for old ones... we opened one package and the odor almost made us sick... ), so I had really no enthusiasm to patronage this establishment again. But I went for my daughter, who loves their tamales, and since she was nursing a broken ankle, I wasn't going to disappoint. I entered the location near 18/National Avenue. Found the counter where the hot foods were, a nice girl came to help me and I began to order. When I asked for salsa verde sauce the girl acted like she didn't understand English, even though I witnessed her speaking English not a few minutes before. There was a couple who respectfully pointed out that the sauce was right behind me. It was then time to pay. I found a register and waited my turn. When my turn came the older lady behind the register directed me to the registers at the front of the store. When I turned around, she was helping the person who was once behind me. I reached a register at the front of the store and found a young lady available to check me out. SHE DIDN'T SAY A WORD TO ME. She didn't even TELL me what my grocery amount was so I could pay. When I paid my bill, she simply dropped the receipt onto my bag, not looking at me, starting to help the next person in line. Now... the food was good. But El Rey's served their food on a "garbage can lid" because of the way their employees treat their BLACK customers who pay attention to how they are treated. There is no other reason than that. The whole building was foul. Tell me what else it could be. It took everything in my being to keep my anger in check. I take my wife, my kids, my upbringing, EVERYTHING! This is simply unacceptable. ZERO stars for El Rey's.... ZERO!!!

A Milwaukee staple! Inside the store itself, really amazing and inexpensive produce section, tons of speciality items from Mexico, and great baked goods. However, the real reason to stop in is for the restaurant. El Rey has one of my favorite breakfasts in MKE. The huevos con chorizo or con papas are incredible, the salsa is spicy, and the cafe de olla tastes like home. Can't recommend enough!

Ordered chicken and pork tamales along with 1/2 pound Mexican rice and tamarind Salsa. Everything was delivered hot and well packaged. Rice was so flavorfully delicious! Tamarind Salsa was well done with the right amount of tangy tamarind sauce. I had better tamales before, nonetheless, their tamales were a great value for the money. They tasted fresh with good amounts of meat.

Get the fajitas! Apart from the grocery store having great produce and meat section...the restaurant was phenomenal. The two salsas are great, salsa verde not too spicy and the red one is pretty heated. I got an a la carte tamal with tomatoes and a taco al pastor. all were great. The tamal is pretty small, if I went again I would get two. Generally about half the size tamales normally are. The real winner was the fajitas a friend got. I am normally not a big fan of fajitas because I don't like peppers, but the meat was SO perfectly seasoned, the tortillas are great, and it was a huuuge portion! Maybe a good way to get rid of your hungry eyes before you end up buying everything in the store!
