El Rey Del Taco

Lower your expectations as far down as you can, and this place will far exceed them. This place is pretty much a dump, but the food is outstanding. I've had almost every taco they make and have never been disappointed. The tacos are filled with fresh, delicious meat, and are a great deal. All food seems fresh and is clearly made to order, so after you check their menu, you might want to call your order in ahead of time.

I live about 2 blocks from this place and probably eat there once a week.  The food is simply amazing.  The pork and marinated pork are amazing.  I often get the pork tacos, the quality of them is amazing and for the price it's hard to pass up.  

There's a lot of talk about the burritos on here.  The are f'n amazing.  Personally the best burrito I've ever had.  

Turn many of my friends on to this joint too and they all love it.  Give this place a try.  Best to grab a menu and order before so you're not waiting.

Idk about the other "reviewer" but my experience is quite the opposite.  I recently moved to the area and several months later, El Rey Del Taco opened up.  I live with my wife and we just had a baby and with this take-out place being right around the corner, it's a no brainer to pick something up quick when we're short on time.  I'm Latino so I assume my judgement in Mexican food means something to the community.  It's good.  There's a restaurant almost equal distance from my house as El Rey Del Taco called Burrito Express, but this place is more or a dine in and is a little more expensive but it's just as good.  

    El Rey Del Taco offers daily specials like $1 tacos, which is awesome if you ask me seeing that the price of everything is going up and avg. price nowadays is around $2 per taco.  Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind paying $2-3 for a taco if it was amazing and fully loaded.  This place sells various tacos that are on special that day for only $1!  Seriously?  Even at regular price they're reasonable..  I forgot how much they are but maybe like $1.50 or somewhere along those lines..  AND they are FILLED!  The best example I can give of the tortilla with meat in it is it resemble the letter "U" flared out alittle more.  They're fat, believe me.  

   Check it out, I wouldn't waste my time writing this review if I truly didn't believed this place deserved the chance for your business.  I like it, my wife loves it and i'm sure plenty more ppl do too..

   It's unfortunate "Glenn" had a bad experience but I don't think he had to run on Yelp and dog this restaurant out the first chance he got..  If you notice, I gave four stars.  The reason is because I went there once when they first opened and I ordered a burrito like "Glenn" did.  It was shut well unlike his but the only issue I had was that it was too greasy.  And I hate that...  I told my wife I'd never order the burrito again but a few months later, I did the unthinkable and ordered a burrito instead of the regular Carne Asada tacos...  :O  IT WAS AMAZING!

   I wrote four paragraphs and I never mentioned my bad experience because they made up for it.  It's a new business.  Give them a chance.  I have my own business and if I make a mistake, I acknowledge that.  I, like this restaurant, make my money from happy and satisfied clients.  These become repeat customers.  Repeated business.  And they have ours.
