El Rey Ristorante Messicano In Carrara

If you want to spend a pleasant evening... with family, as a couple, or with friends... La Placa is the right place. Excellent food (both at the restaurant and the pub). Fast service and friendly staff. Not to mention the draft beer... ice cold!!! As it should be! I come here often with my husband and recommend it to everyone!

So many memories at this restaurant, where I ate Mexican food for the first time many years ago. This time, I didn't find the flavors of the past... especially that typical spiciness. I'll definitely be back and ask for a little more chili pepper; they probably had to adapt to less discerning palates. The sopa was excellent, and the meat was incredibly tender and delicious.

I’m from Southern California where real Mexican food reigns supreme & this place was absolutely amazing! Very authentic, great staff, absolutely delicious!

I've been going to this place since the '90s, when it was still just La Plaza Pub and the legendary Guido had already brought a piece of Mexico to Carrara. With El Rey restaurant, he has once again managed to transport his customers to Mexico with every bite. I've been to Mexico twice and can confirm that Guido and Marta's cuisine is authentic, traditional Mexican cuisine dating back to pre-Columbian times, not the Americanized Tex-Mex we're used to finding here. The menu features various vegetarian options, and by calling ahead, you can get an excellent vegan menu. Guido, the owner, is down-to-earth and very friendly; you always feel at home here... Plus, his knowledge of Mexico is immeasurable. I recommend having a margarita made for him because it's truly delicious.
