El Rey Ristorante Messicano

About

El Rey Ristorante Messicano, affectionately known as La Plaza, is a vibrant culinary oasis in the heart of Avenza. Since 1994 it has evolved from a humble taquería-pub into a full‑fledged Mexican restaurant, proudly serving authentic dishes that travel straight from Mexico to Tuscan tables. Food lovers can sample classic favorites like tacos al pastor, mole poblano, and enchiladas, all prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and served on handmade corn tortillas. The dual‑concept venue—spacious, bright dining room by day and lively taquería bar by night—offers a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere, while the bar plays live music that echoes the spirit of a bustling Mexican plaza. A dedicated reservation system, accessible online and via phone, ensures a smooth dining experience even during peak evenings.
