Sharing Authentic Flavors and Warmth Since 1996

A Dream That Opened Its Doors

A Dream That Opened Its Doors

Since 1996, El Rey Del Grill has been a cornerstone of Little Mexico in Dallas. Founded by Eve and Ray Castaneda, it began as a place to share their love for travel and traditional Mexican cuisine. What started as a dream quickly became a gathering spot where strangers became friends and friends became family. The story continues to grow, one plate at a time.
