El Rey Mexican Kitchen

Oh my goodness. This is a hidden gem! If you come to Smithville Lake you have got to eat here! Take some Nini tacos for later, because you'll definitely what to eat there again.

When we moved to Edgerton from Columbia, we had to say goodbye to our favorite Mexican restaurant, and to be honest, we thought we’d never be able to replace it. We couldn’t have been more wrong. Local, delicious, authentic, and amazing customer service. What more could you ask for? All of us tried something different, and tried each other’s meals as well, and there was not one thing we didn’t like. Some of the kindest service we have had in a long time. Looks like we found our spot. Love it!!!

We will locally in Smithville and tried this place out for the first time tonight. Best Mexican around. Open until 8pm not 4! Friendly service and had a good time with the staff during a very busy time. Great mom and pop type of place. Affordable and flavorful. The flan is a must.

The food and service are excellent! Friendly staff & huge portions! The appetizer nachos are a meal in itself Very! Very attentive staff! The A/C is broken today so it's a little warm, but they have several fans going to help. A/C supposed to be fixed tomorrow. So glad there's a GREAT place to eat without going to Smithville or KC!

So happy they opened! Ordered take out. Little warm for dining in. Food was great! Had the Nini tacos and the street tacos. Both were great! Beans and rice were perfect. LOVE the chips and salsa! I would skip the queso. Everyone was super friendly and nice!
