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.

Service super gentil, très rapide. On mange bien, trop bien même. Les plats sont généreux. Le guacamole est extra. Les prix sont vraiment corrects au vu de la quantité (15-20$, le plat, l'entrée vers 7-10$)Je recommande.

Not recommended. It's very expensive for what you get. I've also asked 3 times the waiter to slighly change my meal & they can't. Would you pay 15$ for this dish that has 11 nachos? That's 20 dollars with tx & service! I'm a local but it feels more like a tourist trap.

Il faut dire que je connais très bien la bouffe mexicaine laquelle j'adore mais ici j'ai pas aimé ce restaurant, la bouffe est horrible pour le prix qu'on demande, & le service est lent & les serveurs ne sont pas toujours sympas, on t oublie & au moment de payer, c'est toujours un bordel, je vous recommende pas y aller sauf que vous auriez très faim & qu'il y a rien à manger dans le coin, Mauvaise experience!!!
