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.

Finding le Roi was a very nice surprise. Visiting Jean talon during the week offers limited options. When we saw le Roi was opened, it was an easy decision. Once inside, the ambience was cozy & welcoming. The menu is quite extensive & everything we tried was delicious & served in generous portions. Horchata is a must! Horchata is an absolute must!

The service was good, however, the food left much to be desired. While the guacamole & churros were good, the other dishes fell short of expectations. The flavors were disappointingly bland & lacked the vibrant, bold tastes typically associated with Mexican cuisine. Considering the price point, I expected a more memorable culinary experience. Unfortunately, the lackluster flavors failed to justify the cost. Despite the high ratings from other patrons, my personal experience did not live up to the hype.

Ma femme & moi sommes venu ici par hasard & nous sommes sentis littéralement au Mexique. La serveuse était mexicaine, la nourriture goûtait très bon (guacamole avec cilantro 👌🏻) les portions sont généreuses & tous ont le sourire facile ici. L'endroit est propre & aucune mauvaise odeur.

El Rey Del Taco Montreal delivers a taste of pure satisfaction with their mouthwatering burritos! Each bite bursts with flavor, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the fresh toppings. The generous portions ensure you leave fully satisfied, & the friendly service only adds to the experience. A must-visit spot for any burrito lover in Montreal!

Very good, the service is something I feel people overlook since you can be served in English, French, & Spanish. The food is equally as good with big portions. I've been here several times & I strongly recommend coming here

I'm not originally from Montreal & I've learned that you have to choose where you eat here carefully because otherwise you'll get ripped off. This restaurant is one of the most overpriced restaurants I have seen so far. I had the tacos & have rarely seen so little for so much money. The taste was normal, not bad not good. The service was also very average. I've gotten used to the fact that in Montreal you have to be careful where you eat, but even by Montreal standards this is too much.
