El Rey Del Taco

The food here is to die for!! It's one of the few places where everything on your plate is cooked from scratch and so you don't end up feeling like you've just indulged in junk food. Fresh, flavorful, colorful and delicious! The service was lovely and the ambience makes you feel like you're on vacation. Absolutely beautiful experience!

We were at another Mexican restaurant and they happen to run out of churros so the lady suggested El Rey Del taco as they had the same churros. So we called and asked them to keep some aside for us and since we were going here for the first time we thought of trying their chorizo tacos and so when I called I asked for just the chorizo tacos with the spicy sauce. When we picked the order and bought it home I realized that they gave us the chorizo taco meal which had guac, rice and some chopped onions with cilantro and lime so I called them to ask them if they gave me a wrong order since I wanted just the 4 chorizo tacos that the lady when I had called told me comes as one order. So this guy on the phone says no they don’t do just tacos for take away…apparently the rice and guac goes with the tacos!!! I confirmed this twice on the phone with him but I still need to check their menu because that’s just weird! What if I just wanna buy tacos?! And not pay for the guac rice and onions?! I’m sure it’s gotta be cheaper for just the tacos right???! Anyway the chorizo in the tacos was meh! So this was quite disappointing and we shall stick with our regular taco shop. The churros were amazing and yes they were the same as the other taco shop! This place seems to have ready to take mole sauces and a lot of other Mexican sauces & fresh chips too!

Good place if you are visiting in the Jean Talon market. Having tried multiple Mexican restaurants but this place had an altogether different atmosphere. The smell when you enter the restaurant is amazing. We ordered Tamales, as I had never tried this dish before. The taste was good but not upto the expectations as described earlier. We also ordered Tamarind juice and it was too good. The service can be better and staff can be more clean and welcoming, infact I saw one server pouring back the drank water by one customer in the jar which was not cool. Also, the server gave our juice to some other customer and they tasted the juice that's when the other customer realized that it's not what they ordered, server picked that juice and gave it to us instead of making a fresh one available. I wonder how they are maintaining the sanity in this place. In these times, one thing everyone wants is cleanliness which was highly lacking in this place, however the food is of good quality and taste due to which I have rated 4. P. S. They don't serve alcohol.

Underrated mexican place just outside the Jean Talon market. The nopales salad was great, so was the vegetarian platter. The corn tortillas were so soft and fresh, they even threw in an extra plate of the tortillas for free, when we requested another serving. The best horchata i've ever had, so milky and smooth!

Tourist trap to be avoided. I had a sopa the tortilla, a concoction which would have made any Mexican shudder. The small portion was tiny, half of a small bowl, and grossly overpriced at $9.95. I followed up with the saddest quesadilla ever, served thrown on a plate with zero acompaniment of any sort, not even plain salsa on the table. For $8 I expected much better. There are several genuine taco places within 3-4 city blocks. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.
