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!

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!

A new BRIGHT red outside, but the same AMAZING food on the inside. This place is absolutely the best place if you want reasonably priced, delicious, and authentic tacos! I can't really say how the other food is because all I ever get are tacos! Can't say enough good things about the food, so so good!

The tacos here are delicious. And the salsa is the perfect amount of flavor and spice. Service is pretty quick, especially since there are only two people working. Service is kind and excellent.
