El Rey Del Taco

Not sure why my cousin thought I would like this place . I’m from Chicago and this is not the “AUTHENTIC” taco I’m used to. Not sure why she thought I wanted to come outta town and eat Taco Bell. Hell Taco Bell tasted better than them. They didn’t even heat the tortillas! Oh and that new Dr Pepper drink they have is terrible or someone didn’t follow the recipe.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town. I usually get the carnitas plate, which is some of the best carnitas I can find around here. Service is usually fast and decent amount of seating. They also have a good salsa bar with about 5 types of salsa and extras. I come out of there fat and happy every time.

Soooo good! Birria is the bomb

Food is ok, it’s decent. It’s a good spot to have a few drinks and have some tacos. Service is outstanding!

Food was not great, salsa wasn't spicy, nothing about this place feels authentic

Bland. Beans have no flavor. Rice has no flavor. Flautas have no flavor. Simple exclusions were ignored. Cashier was unnecessarily contentious. Plenty of places offering the same menu that’s listed here but served with a smile. Wont be returning.

Diana and the amazing cooks, staff, and cool atmosphere made for a great experience. I ate alone at the bar; however, I never felt alone. Recently moved from Albuquerque; raised in NM- best authentic Mexican food ever here at El Rey Del Taco! I will definitely be back for more! More delicious food, more great service (Diana), and great atmosphere. Five stars, for sure! Friday margaritas! Delicious food- Awesome service!

Exceptionally mid. Edible but will not be back. The food was lacking in flavor and the chile rellano was probably the worst I’ve ever had. My husband’s enchilada meal came with the worlds smallest enchilada when it was advertised as having three.

Wow, have been gone a bit and haven't been to the remodeled restaurant. Nicely done.
Had the margarita special and enjoyed a light taco and the wonderful carrots and condiments and complimentary chips. Look forward to going back.
Only had a couple bucks cash so tipped some on credit card.
A fun time with a friend for around $10 bucks!?
High recommend

Parking: Always adequate parking
Great location off Academy now if they ever get Airport Rd construction done, haha!

This place is worth your visit!

The food is authentic and delicious. Great place to sit down and enjoy some good food at a decent price! Customer service is an area they can improve on. Seems like new staff who didn’t have mush experience servicing customers.

We are in town visiting from Denver and seen many Mexican restaurants to choose from. We decided to give this place a try and let me tell you it was absolutely phenomenal! Food was fresh and incredibly delicious! Everything was very well priced! 3.99 house margarita! Everything about our experience was awesome and we will most definitely be back!

I'm not sure how this restaurant has such good reviews. The only reason I'm giving this restaurant 2 stars is because the aguas frescas were good BUT sadly the food was disappointing. We had the fajitas combo in which the shrimp, steak, and chicken looked discolored and tasted bland with no seasoning. We also had the coctel de camarones (shrimp cocktail), which was nothing special. It took a few minutes to get a server to take our order.....with only one other table in the restaurant, which maybe was because the servers were too busy sitting down at the bar chit chatting. We are glad we tried it, and we will not be returning.
