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.

Delicious & reasonably priced Mexican food. Plenty of options to choose from. The place is very busy but has a lot of room to accommodate many customers. We were a party of 3 on a Saturday afternoon & were seated right away. Service is good. All forms of payment accepted. Looking forward to going again during the warmer months.

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.

Love this place! I often come here by myself to have the Mexican breakfast after browsing the Jean-Talon market. The portions are very filling & the flavour is there. Service is quick & attentive, but discreet. It's very popular on the weekends, with returning customers from all backgrounds, & many families! They also have a small grocery section where you can buy Mexican ingredients, as well as house-made dips & salsa!

It's great place for Mexican food, I loved the Agua de Horchata, tacos are good but the choriqueso didn't convinced me, the cheese wasn't melted completely, it looked as if it stood at room temperature for quite some time.
Aside from that, I think the place & concept is great, the little shop at the back of the entrance it's well equiped with some Mexican essential cuisine ingredients, which I loved.
Service was kind & respectful as well.

As a Mexican, I can say that nothing that we ate have the Mexican taste, besides we got stomach ache, the only good was the Horchata & Tamarindo wate

The food is not very good. The service is abysmal & the facilities are not very clean.

There are better choices of Mexican/Latin X food in Montreal. Don't waste your money.

Well it is a mexican fast food ....so you should expect amazing food or quality nevertheless - They give Nachos with sauces before the order . We took spit-roasted pork tacos , onions & pineapple (very nice) & the huarache with chicken which was ok.

Overall acceptable
