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.

Excellent Al Pastor, perfectly seasoned & pine apple grilled just right. The house sauce is spicy without being overpowering. The place was understaffed so service wasn't quick but polite.

Ordered on UberEats from El Ray Del Taco on May 5th for Cinco de Mayo. The food was mediocre, nothing spectacular. It is definitely authentic Mexican but wasn't outstanding by any means. One of the complaints is on the Chicken Quesadlilla & the Cheese Quesadilla. We realized that between orders, they aren't cleaning the grill they use to crisp & cook the quesadilla. They were both ordered rather plain, chicken, cheese & corn (missing the corn), on one & just cheese on the second one. Both of them had pieces of fried onion stuck to them from a previous order cooked on the same grill .. the kids don't like onions at all & one has an allergy. That was stated in the allergy section of the order. My fiancee had the Enchiladas, which she enjoyed but said the same thing... it was good. Nothing spectacular or outstanding. We realize it was Cinco de Mayo, & they were highly likely very busy, but taking 10 seconds to scrape the grill between orders ensures issues like this won't happen. We may try them again on another day, which is not a Mexican Celebration Day, & hope for a better result.
Based on this order yesterday, it's not a recommendation from us. If we order a second time & it's better, or worse, we will let you know. ⭐?⭐?⭐?

Pretty good taco spot with well marinated meat that has flavors. Would enjoy more tacos filling other than the meat though.
