Overall, El Rey del Taco draws mixed but largely positive feedback, with many reviewers praising authentic Mexican flavors, juicy meats, fresh guacamole, and homemade tortillas, and calling the place a solid option near Jean Talon market or a reliable spot for tasty tacos and brunch; the atmosphere is described as lively and welcoming, and service is frequently noted as friendly and attentive. Some guests find the portions small and prices high for what is offered, and others report crowding and cramped seating during peak times. There are also comments about inconsistent experiences, from standout dishes like chilaquiles verdes and birria tacos to concerns about saltiness in some meats and a mole enchilada dish that did not meet expectations. A few reviewers mention that the entrance is not wheelchair accessible and that there are occasional issues with promotions or grill cleanliness on busy days. Despite these variances, many say the food is flavorful and the place is worth returning to for the Mexican atmosphere and dependable options.

Une véritable escapade mexicaine - Bien plus que des tacos !

Que dire de ce restaurant si ce n'est : BRAVO ! Dès l'entrée, on est transporté : l'ambiance est chaleureuse, les couleurs vives, & l'accueil souriant & authentique.

A Mexican restaurant along with Mexican store.
We were at the Jean-Talon market & we dropped in this place for lunch looking at the choices the restaurant offered for vegetarians.

The food & the service were good.
