Review Summary

El Rey del Taco is widely described as an authentic Mexican spot with a warm, lively vibe near Jean Talon Market, where many reviews praise fresh, homemade touches such as chips, tortillas, salsas and guacamole, and flavors that feel true to Mexico in dishes like chilaquiles verdes, al pastor, burritos and tacos. The menu is large, with a store section and ready-to-go options that many diners appreciate for variety and convenience, and prices are often considered good value given the quality, though a few comments note small portions or occasional price quirks. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and efficient, creating a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere. While most experiences are positive, there are a few critiques including occasional temperature or flavor inconsistencies, and one notably negative incident involving a dental injury and disputed handling by staff. Overall, El Rey del Taco emerges as a reliable, recommended choice for Mexican cuisine with strong toppings, fresh ingredients and a hospitable welcome, inviting repeat visits for favorites like tacos and guacamole.

Absolutely the best Mexican food in the city. The food is always incredibly fresh, & very well priced. I never go home without a giant tub of their guacamole too, it's so damn delicious.

Ce petit resto sert la meilleure nourriture mexicaine authentique, dans la region de Montreal. Les plats ne sont pas chers & sont simplement succulents.

On ne va pas a ce restaurant pour son ambiance ou son décor, mais plutot sa nourriture. (Le resto est plutot laid) J'y suis allée 2-3 fois jusqu'à maintenant & j'ai toujours eu une bonne experience.

Ils ont des choix végés :) Leur burrito végé avec sauce au tomatillo est servi avec leur delicieux guacamole.. miamm

Ils ont meme des dejeuners mexicains qui me semble être à essayer!
