Datebook Diner: Good Mexican food — and drink at El Rey

El Rey is well known for serving inexpensive over-sized burritos. But unlike chains like Chipotle and Qdoba, they also serve a full menu of breakfasts, like huevos rancheros, lunch combos and other Mexican dishes like fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas and more. The restaurant is open after the bars close on weekends, which gives it a boost in business late at night. Communication can be spotty with Spanish-speaking employees, but they're always friendly.
