Dining Under A 300-Year-Old Cottonwood Tree At El Rey

A favorite setting for outdoor dining in Belmar, New Jersey, is the cozy courtyard at El Rey Mexican restaurant at 1006 Main Street. The showpiece of the courtyard is a majestic cottonwood tree that is believed to be over 300 years old, according to the building owner.


At nighttime, the courtyard's eye-catching array of string lights and summer flowers provides a lovely ambiance for outdoor dining. Whether you are planning a friends' night out, a family celebration, or a dinner date with someone special, you will enjoy a delicious dining experience with freshly prepared Mexican cuisine at El Rey restaurant in Belmar.


I have dined numerous times at the BYOB El Rey since it opened in March 2022, each time starting with the creamy guacamole and chips. My go-to entrees here include the chicken chimichanga, chicken enchilada, or shrimp fajitas. People also rave about the birria tacos at El Rey.


The house-made desserts are absolutely amazing, especially the silky flan and the tres leches cake (sponge cake soaked in evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream).
