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.

Pas pire okay! Un bon petit fast-food mexicain pour y luncher sans grand discours. Y'a de tout... & du typique ordinaire.

On est assis sur une table autour d'une ambiance froide à l'intérieur ou sur une terrasse de béton avec zéro décor & sans charme. Service fait par des serveuses amateurs & automates. Ca prend la commande... on vous oublie après servi... pis on vous apporte la facture sans sourire.

Bien que le Chef soit mexicain, j'ai mangé du bien meilleur mexicain à Cancun & au Little Cubana en Floride.

Okay okay! Même si le service vaut zéro, leur bouffe mexicaine vaut la peine d'être gouté & ce, pour le commun des mortels. Mais on y verra jamais de vrais mexicains manger là ! Ca veut sûrement dire que leur cuisine n'est pas si authentique que ca !
