El Rey Mexican Restaurant

- Price range: $ (Under $9)
This downtown Mexican joint sees its fair share of lunch and dinner business, though the best time to check them out is during happy hour, 4-7 p.m. seven days a week, when you can indulge in frosty margaritas for under $3, and domestic drafts for 99 cents. Reasonable prices and standard Mexican fare are enough to pack this place during their busy lunch hour too. Chile rellenos, refried beans, tacos, burritos and the rest of the standard-issue Americanized Mexican dishes dot the tasty menu.
