Looking for a new spot? El reys maybe it. They have karaoke Fridays and buffet Sundays with all the favs. Pancakes, sausage,bacon, eggs. Then you can go back and get your bowl of pozole menudo,quesa birria taco, camarones a la diabla, carne en su jugo and desserts like fresh cut fruit and flan and conchas with cafe de la hoya.

Love El Rey! I've been here a few times now and the food and service is always great! Everyone is so hospitable and the dishes I've had here have all been top notch. Thank you, El Rey crew, can't wait to get the World Cup experience next!

I called El Rey restaurant to complain about ordering extra tortillas. Because every time I ordered fajitas there were no tortillas. So I paid extra and only got the extra tortillas not tortillas included. I spoke with the hostess on July 6th about this. She was so kind, knew exactly the order I was talking about. Their fajitas are as good during takeout as they are having them at the restaurant. The customer service at El Rey's is extraordinary.

Over a week ago, we were driving south to San Francisco through Novato when we decided to stop for dinner, and Mexican food won the majority vote! We chose a new place called El Rey. We arrived around 7:30 PM, and the restaurant wasn't busy since it was a Sunday evening. Looking at the menu, I was immediately drawn to the ceviche. We decided to start with guacamole and chips, share the ceviche, and order a Quesadilla con Carne Asada. The guacamole was fresh and well-made, the ceviche was exceptionally delicious, and the quesadilla was very well-prepared and tasty. Our server was friendly and helpful with our questions, and we even shared a few good laughs. The service was excellent. El Rey has been a local spot in Novato for many years. It is family-owned and known for serving traditional Mexican dishes in a welcoming setting. The restaurant has built a strong reputation in the community as a reliable place for a hearty meal, with many locals returning for decades. The restaurant is located in a standalone building within a shopping center and offers a large seating area. They also have an outdoor seating area, which I imagine would be especially nice on a warm evening. As a first-time visitor, I was very impressed. The food, service, and relaxed atmosphere made for an enjoyable stop on our drive. We would definitely return the next time we're in Novato.

I stopped by El Ray Mexican in Novato and ordered a burrito. It was decent in size and filling, but the flavor was underwhelming and could use some cilantro, more seasoning or depth. The atmosphere reminded me of a Denny’s that has been converted into a Mexican restaurant, casual and straightforward with plenty of seating. Service was great and the overall experience was comfortable. Even though the burrito did not impress me, I would be willing to come back and try other dishes to see if they deliver more flavor.
