El Rey Burrito Lounge

Alabama


Burritos loaded with ingredients ranging from steak to tempeh (for the vegetarians), plus jicama salads, tacos, enchiladas and other favorites are served at this spot, which has a Christmas lights meets rustic hipster vibe. A great beer and cocktail menu (the latter emphasizes tequila) makes this a good spot for a drink come evening.
