El Rey Mexitalia

Tacos Al Pastor from El Rey Mexitalia! It looks really good, wait until you try it. Food prices are worth it!

Eggplant Parmesan Pasta - perfectly breaded and very flavorful!
Birria Beef Quesadilla - delicious!
12 cut Mexitalia House Signature Pizza - great!

It was clean and well-appointed, the menu was clearly written, and the gracious server engaging. The selection was too much to choose from so I asked his suggestions. I'm glad I did! The Birria Tacos were totally new to me and delicious. (I've since learned they are in the Top 10 most popular food on TicToc.) The taco shells were pan fried and hot, stuffed with meat and cheese. My favorite was the tender shredded beef, but my partner preferred the chicken, and we both loved the beef broth dipping (I say soup) sauce. The flip side of the menu was Italian (MexItalia - get it?) but my server was not, so I stuck with his recommendations on the Mexican side. I'm definitely going back when I'm hungry to order multiple selections - just to see - but today's serving size was perfect for lunch.

This is yet one of the best Mexican restaurants in Albany. The food is fresh and has such a great taste. Tacos, wings,pizza and so much more. Its a must try and all the staff treat you like family.

Amazing tacos!
Especially the barillos, shrimp, and al pastor. The chicken was okay but not as good as the other ones. Service was quick and the food was fresh. The chips and guac were very nice as well. An unexpected gem for our group from out of state.
