A viral video is bringing a younger crowd to El Rey Cafe, a long‑standing Mexican restaurant in Tempe operated by Joanne Reynoso. The online clip’s popularity is prompting new patrons to visit the establishment.
El Rey Cafe traces its origins to 1938, when Joanne Reynoso’s great‑aunt opened the original location in the Globe‑Miami mining community. The restaurant now serves customers in Tempe while retaining its historic roots.
