I can't believe I've been here a couple of times already to grab some food. The tacos are delicious and the meat is top-notch quality. However, I am absolutely furious about the super burritos here. They are filled with more rice and beans than meat! I was extremely disappointed to find barely any meat in my burrito. It felt like there was only the amount of meat from one taco in the entire burrito. Next time, I'll definitely stick to just getting tacos instead of wasting my money on a disappointing burrito.

First time at El Ray, and I ordered the Super Burrito. Overall I really liked it, especially the quality of the meat and veggies. I didn't really like that they use refried beans, I'd prefer whole beans, but on the while a solid burrito.

Maybe the best taco truck I've ever eaten out of in my life?

It's all about the food and service. It's delicious, and made by such a nice, friendly family. If you need to eat at their tables, it's not bad, it's just not what this great place is really about.

Friendly service and great food! They’ve catered two company events and it was a big hit. They are so easy to work with and reasonably priced. I absolutely recommend!

Tacos el Rey, no matter the location, is great! I’ve been going to this location for a few years now and it never disappoints. The adobada and al pastor is my favorite, asada never can go wrong.

Take a cup of that avocado verde sauce and have a great time. It’s kind of a roulette game, some days it’s mild and great flavor, other days it’s intense heat and the same great flavor. Can’t go wrong!

Best Mexican food truck I've ever been to. My favorite is the steak quesadilla, it's loaded with avocado, tomatoes, jalapeños and lettuce. Add some of their hot sauce and it's devine. Good job guys!

Reddit Boise Eats suggested the #6 as one of the better Mexican options in town that hasn't been Americanized. I really don't trust Boise opinions because there should be the disclaimer "....it's good.....for Boise."
Tacos el Rey #6 is legit. Their sopes is not greasy, not skimpy, not expensive. The tiny plastic fork they give is useless, and the sopes is so overloaded that picking it up and trying to attack from either side results in the toppings falling.
Each time we go there's a small wait. English is limited (or should I say my Spanish is a hard fail). Many call in orders, and just one or two items we ordered took about 10 minutes as the giant orders took priority. Seating is ample, flies abundant (trash can feet away), parking is a huge lot next to Tobacco Connection adjacent to a noisy intersection where you can watch endless drag races while your meal is prepared.
We didn't order the street tacos, but they are $2.75 each. Kind of spendy for our street taco criteria, but not as OMG spendy as Basilio's out on Lake Hazel Road. FYI, some of the best "street" tacos are a bit east on Ustick at Fiesta Chicken. I'm being serious!
