El Rey Burrito Lounge - Montgomery

We were in the area and saw the good reviews on happy cow so we decided to check it out. My husband and I and our two toddlers went in on a Wednesday at 7:00pm. It definitely feels like a bar when you walk in. It’s very dark inside and the bar takes up half the room. I was surprised about this because the description doesn’t say anything about that. I was worried they might tell me no kids allowed. They didn’t say that but they did say they didn’t have a highchair. I said ok we’ll just hold the youngest then, no big deal. We ordered the guacamole and chips for appetizer which was amazing. Probably one of the best guacamoles I’ve had in a long time. It had a different taste to it almost like very strong olive oil, but it was delicious. We each ordered the vegan tempeh platter with tortillas. It came with spicy tempeh and sweet potatoes, a side of black beans, rice, peppers/corn mixture, and a smoked chili pepper. Everything was absolutely delicious. It was a tad spicy but really good and I like spicy food so I loved it. I wish we lived, closer I’d eat here all the time!

Knowledgeable staff. Asked if I was vegan and helped me out. Tempeh and tofu along with mushrooms as 'protein '. The waitress also let me know that the margaritas are NOT vegan. Highly recommend if you are in the area and have no other options.

Although this is not a vegetarian restaurant, their vegan options are truly well-done. We had the Spicy Quinoa Salad, the Cali Burrito and the Tempeh Fajitas. We asked for everything to be prepared vegan and, frankly, didn't expect much. We were surprised to receive extremely fresh, delicious vegan plates as good, or better than anything we've found in a vegan restaurant. The staff was friendly and extremely familiar with vegan requirements. It almost makes me wish I lived in Montgomery.

Just go! Amazing food, atmosphere and people. This is my third visit and this time I brought my husband and brother both meat eaters . They both wanted a second order of their entrees. I recommend going at least three times to get in the mango salsa, roasted sweet potatoes, tempeh fajitas and roasted veggie nacho estenpudo... you're welcome ^ ^ . Whenever I'm in Montgomery I will stop here!!

I was visiting my boyfriend, who is in the Air Force and training at Maxwell, and we went to this place one night. It was WONDERFUL! The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I got the Tempeh Fajitas, and they were delicious, as was the guacamole and pineapple salsa. My boyfriend loved is carnivorous food as well. We loved it so much that we went back the next night. I got a Tempeh and Black Bean Burrito, and again, it was just incredible. If you are in Montgomery, you should give it a try.
