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.

Les plats sont biens, mais un peu fade. J'adore le jus d'hibiscus. Au niveau de l'ambiance, c'est méga lumineux, beaucoup de néon alors ça donne une drôle d'atmosphère. Un peu cantine de secondaire.

If you're looking for authentic, look no further. If your idea of a good taco starts with a hard shell, then do yourself a favor & come down here. Ever since I lived in L.A, I've been on the hunt for the taste of authenticity. I found the best tamales here, it's not even comparable. Service is always warm & portions & massive for such a cheap price.

Le Taco crevettes est très bon. La guacamole a un goût authentique & les fèves sont trop bonnes. Bonne variété dans le plat. En plus, le service est rapide & efficace.
