This place charges an extra gratuity surcharge on takeout food. We’ve definitely been to better Mexican restaurants and none of them charge extra money on take out. This is absolutely ridiculous and we won’t be back.

Best Mexican restaurant on the westbank hands down. The food is amazing, especially the ground beef, and brisket tacos. Their steak fajita plate and brisket quesadillas are spectacular. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the food is a veritable feast that will never leave you disappointed.

Only tried the street style tacos and they are solid ! The brisket (suadero) ones were succulent/juicy and near as good as Tia in Metairie at half the price, the browned corn tortillas were the best in the city, also they had some sautéed onions surprisingly that added another layer of flavor. The Carnita taco was ok but not as braised with crispy ends as much as I prefer. Good service good pricing, nice atmosphere ftw

Just Great—Actually Love This Place!
We live in Gretna, but honestly, Tacos El Rey is so worth the drive—even if you’re coming from Michoud to Kenner. It’s become one of our absolute favorites!
The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a casual Latin restaurant: welcoming, lively, and never over-the-top. The service is consistently on point—friendly, attentive, and never pretentious. You feel like you're part of the family the moment you walk in.
As for the food? Delicious. Every dish we've tried hits the mark, and the drinks are just as good. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you get. It’s that rare combo of great vibes, great flavors, and great value.
We gladly skip several spots near home to come here instead—and every time, we leave full, happy, and already planning our next visit.

Nice clean place, friendly servers. Neighborhood restaurant, but has good selection of items wuth great flavors. I dined in this time, but have ordered take out many times. The caldo de res sopa, very good flavor, broth, lot of tender Beef. Excellent. Tacos here are really good. I recommend the burritos and enchiladas also
Taco salad to go without salsa. Cheapskates when it comes to providing adequate salsa for chips and salsa for to go orders. However, if you sit in a restaurant you'll get a 24 oz cup of complimentary salsa and refillable chips. Meanwhile after calling manager, she rudelyhang up the phone in your face.
They want you money but they have poor soft skills. If you make a complaint or concern after paying additional money for salsa that you never received. Whoever, heard of a taco salad with hard white lettuce , no cheese, and no salsa but provides guacamole and sour cream.
Go to Las Maracas or Los Amigos if you want real customer service and great atmosphere. Family owned and always delivers. Facts
