This place is way under the radar. Super great value, counter service but they bring you your food and bus for you. Big salsa bar in the back with flavorful salsas (you can really taste the smokiness of the peppers in the red sauce, and the green sauce is wonderfully tart). And most importantly, the tacos are SO DELICIOUS!!!!!!! Handmade tortillas. JUICY chicken. Flavorful garnish. Tasty poc chuc. Pastor with pineapple chunks.
Friendly welcome and lovely staff. We also enjoyed everything we ordered with the Quesabirra Vampire tacos and the Ceviche standing out. I always wanted to try the Mexican doner kebab (sorry I don’t know the proper name) and it didn’t disappoint. Will definitely return next time I’m in SF.
El Rey has been the only Mexican restaurant we go to ever since their early days of opening, and we go almost on a weekly basis. The food is amazing - we've loved everything we've tried, but our favorites are the lamb quesabirria, al pastor tacos, arrachera tacos, carnitas quesadilla for the kiddo, and the house-made chips. Whenever Pepe (the owner) is in, he'll stop by our table to chat and tell us about where he's gotten inspiration for his latest dishes...
