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.

Incredible Enchiladas Mole. Like, really amazing Mole sauce. Came from Ottawa & will go once a month JUST for the mole. Friendly staff, great Jarrotos selection

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!

A little disappointed with my experience this time around. Restaurant wasn't very clean, bathrooms super dirty. Tamarindo & pozole were good but the order of 4 tacos was a big disappointment at 19$.

It was one of the best taco experiences I've ever had. The tacos were incredibly delicious, & the traditional nacho was equally tasty. The waitress was friendly & helpful, adding to the overall positive experience.

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.

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.
