El Rey Mexican Restaurant Fairmont-White Hall — Restaurant in Whitehall

We came in for a quick late lunch because we had an event that evening, but just needed something to tide us over. They didn't seem particularly busy at the time, but they do have a really big dining area it could've just looked like they weren't busy. We were a little bit disappointed with the service: we had to wait to get our server's attention a couple times to ask for napkins (we weren't given any) and for a couple drink refills. No other complaints.

Our table ordered the carnitas lunch special, lunch fajitas and chicken burrito lunch special. The portions were pretty good. The lunch fajitas and chicken burrito lunch special were pretty good, but were a little on the salty side. For the carnitas lunch special, I expected a little bit more flavor, but it was still pretty good. If you ask for jalapeños, it’ll cost you $1.75 for one. Just a heads up. lol

We had an okay experience: nothing too bad, nothing to rave about either. If we are ever in the area, we may come back and try other...

Mixed reviews from my husband and I on this one. We both liked the table side guacamole- but i did get a large bite of jalapeño at one point and set my mouth on fire. For my meal, I got the arroz con pollo and it was very good, but my husband tried it and said it was too salty. He did not enjoy his chimichanga. He said it didn’t have enough flavor- he ate one of the two provided in the meal, and was also disappointed none of the meals seem to come with both rice and beans- just beans for his. As for the margarita- we ordered a pitcher of the strawberry flavor. It was served with plastic cups. I loved it but again my husband did NOT and felt like there was no alcohol in it. I do agree it was not very strong. Kids had chicken nuggets- one kid ate, the other said they were yuck. Otherwise the place is decent, average decor, good service,...

It was the single greatest meal I've ever had. Everything, even down to the tortilla chips, was an absolute delicacy. The service was incredible. Our waiter made jokes with us and continued to check up on us and give us refills. The guacamole should be a hallowed artifact of worship. All the trials and tribulations today threw at me were vanquished at the mere taste of the delectable food and divine sweet tea. If I could go back to the very beginning of my life, I'd make every single mistake I ever made so I could come back and eat this meal again. I genuinely believe this meal could make an atheist into a priest. It was so good it could make a poor man rich. Never, NEVER, have I tasted such a good meal. Absolutely...
