“We heard of this restaurant from my parents and went solely based on the constant packed parking lot. When you enter you aren’t sure if you came in the right door but your met with the most hospitable servers. The layout and vibes are casual but clean. Our server was so attentive getting us refills on chips and drinks before we ever were close to running out. I ordered the Al pastor tacos that came out hot and delicious! I got the side salad that had cheese, mandarin oranges, tomatoes, and a vinaigrette that was perfect! Definitely would recommend this restaurant!“

“Great Mexican food. Self service. Parking available.We had soft chicken tacos, quesadillas and a burrito. The burrito is more appropriate to our taste bud as an Asian. The rest was okay, not great. We tried their flan which was a bit disappointing. However, they are a very busy place. A lot of Mexican people eat there. Worth giving a shot.“

“I eat Mexican on the regular when I'm not cooking. So I pretty much know the Mexican restaurant in the area. I had a favorite that was our go to ( still is if I am on that side of town). Best since Fiesta has opened, I admittedly would come here for the convenience and then food. They wete definitely a 2nd choice. I wasn't convinced about this place until I tried the chicken soup. Up until today, I have ordered take out about 6 times. Today, we ate; nice setting, clean, good music. I tried the soup; plenty of shredded chicken, just enough rice, enough avacado, but the broth, the broth was on point! Top with the lime and you will be craving the soup from then on! They have moved to 1st pl.“

“Pretty nice place . Been wanting to try Birria Ramen forever . It was very good but was expecting a little for flavor from the meat . Good portion size also . Also tried a single Birria taco as well , also pretty good . Glad to have found a place like this will “

“I got pork, goat and barbacoa tacos, and they were good. They had a little bar where you could put toppings on it so that was cool. the chips and queso were god awful. The chips were stale and the cheese dip was cold. The cashier was super friendly and nice great service.“

“This is what I like to refer to as a hole in the wall type of restaurant. That being said, it’s one of the best ones I’ve ever been to. Homemade tortillas, everything made from scratch, amazing flavors, and unbeatable service. The staff is kind, efficient, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend eating here!“

“We lived in Apex for 16 years, dining here once a week because the food, service and prices were all excellent. Antonio and his staff make you feel like family. We’ve recently moved to Wendell but continue to see doctors and dentists in Apex, excited to schedule appointments around lunchtime so we can enjoy another fabulous lunch. We were there last week and it was exactly what we needed.“

“Do yourself a favor and try the steak quesadillas. They’re a little pricy at a little over $13 a plate, but they come with rice and beans too. This is by far the best quesadilla I’ve had from a Mexican restaurant. Lots of cheese and the best tortillas.“

“LOVE this place. Great food, great vibes, love the renovation. Staff are all super attentive and nice. This slice of cake was HEAVEN. Order the cake. Ask for the cake. It's like a moist cake with a fluffy custard & would come back just for the cake.“

“First time here, but it definitely won't be the last! Service was top tier! They made us feel at home, and were patient while we stared at the menu for 5 minutes. The place was very clean, the chips were fresh, salsa was great, 10 out of 10. They give Chipotle and Moe's a run for their money for sure!“

“This is my favorite restaurant in the area. Service is unbelievable! Everyone is so fast and friendly and the food is excellent. Even if it is really busy, the wait time is almost non-existent. I eat here probably every week. Drinks are good, too. Did I mention the prices are very reasonable? You have to go check it out!“

“We have now been to all of the Mi Cancun locations in this area multiple times, and everytime are blown away at the quality and quantity of the food, the speed at which it is served, how happy all their staff is, and even the quality if the drinks created and their presentation all for a super value compared to many Mexican restaurants in the zone. For fun, festive, and great food and service for the dollar, no one beats this chain. I commend the owners/management team for what they have created here and ask only that they keep doing what they are doing!“

“Went for the first time on Saturday March 6. I got a beef taco and my kids got the same. I also ordered a side of rice. The food took about 8 minutes to make. We opened up our taco and it looked delicious. There was a little lime in all our taco meals. The taste was amazing! The tortilla was authentic and delicious as well! The rice was the best I ever had! We will be back to try more tasty menu items!“

Muy Muy Muy Delicioso!!!!!! oh, and they make the guacamole in front of you and the Lady was incredibly nice and that was the best guacamole EVER!!!!“

Affordable, flavorful, and undoubtedly a must-try for any foodie on the hunt for genuine Mexican cuisine. You won't be disappointed!“

“What a pleasant surprise! I was getting tires across the street and just happen upon this place. No joke, the chicken burrito I got was really great. Easily in the top 3 Mexican food trucks I visit in the entire Raleigh area. It could easily be the best, just depends on the taste you’re after at this point. Definitely try it out. Only downside now js I’ll have to fight the steering wheel every time I drive by. Thanks!“

“We hired El Rey del Taco for our wedding rehearsal dinner and they were amazing!! The tacos were delicious and all our guests loved them! We had them come to our venue and it made the rehearsal dinner run smoothly so we could all stay in one place. Jorge and Maria were easy to work with and the staff was all very friendly! We highly recommend them!!“

“I have always wanted to try this spot but never had the time. You know a spot is good when you find people from that same ethnicity or region patronizing the place. I went around lunch time and it was packed. I ordered the Tacos went to the car, eat it all and came back and ordered some more! Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the tacos but I do have of the fried tilapia and I can tell you it was hot, fresh and delicious!“

“We were finally able to visit this new restaurant in town, and it did not disappoint! The guacamole is incredibleeeee and the entrees were fantastic. The signature creamy chipotle sauce is so good you can eat it with a spoon. We usually drive all the way into Cary for our favorite Mexican restaurant, but not anymore!“

“Stopped for dinner for the first time. Wow, service led by Mia the hostess and Jack of all trades and our waitress Shelby knocked it outta the park! Food was great, it was enjoyable sipping cocktails watching the staff hustling and working together to feed lots of hungry people. I congratulated the Manager for having a well trained staff who has each other's backs. Thanks again.“

“Our group of 6 adults and 2 children stopped in for lunch today. We were greeted by a very friendly staff who immediately set up tables for us. The service was great. Our drink and food orders were taken quickly and we munched on chips while waiting for our food. Everything arrived fresh and hot. The food was delicious. I will definitely eat here again.“

“Obsessed with their steak tacos, so delicious. I eat here at least once a week, sometimes (more than sometimes tbh) more. Their spicy red sauce is on point, great heat and good flavor. Highly recommended. Can find them here fairly reliably, sometimes swapped with Azteca, another excellent taco truck. Heard they might have the same owners? Not sure, they're of comparable if not identical quality though.Honestly I'd eat here every day, totally addicted.“

“This place sits near the grocery store and with only one review 3 years ago on Yelp you know it's more of a locals spot. Really enjoyed our meal here, it was ready quickly and I enjoyed the self serve salsa bar. It feels a little run down and isn't the nicest setting but the food is worth it! The meat on the tacos was fantastic. Glad we tried it out!“

“Been to this location a few times now and the food is always great. The salsa tastes fresh and made with cilantro.A tad on the expensive side but you definitely get what you pay for. I ordered the chicken fajitas, the chicken and vegetables were cooked perfectly.My only very minimal gripe is I wish the tortillas were slightly larger. Other than that this place is well worth the money.“
