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.

Je ne comprends pas les portions des accompagnements de ce plat de burrito sérieusement. On dirait le riz n'était pas assez cuit, le goût du burrito était correct, sans plus & la viande de porc effiloché était un peu raide avec des morceaux de gras, ce qui m'a dégouté!

This place has a great selection of options on the menu. I've tried a few different things & I have never been disappointed. The staff has always been courteous to me at every visit & they also have a great selection of homemade snacks & desserts in their ready to go fridge.

Pedi para llevar y no había probado un churro tan rico, el bistec de mis chilaquiles estaba un poco crudo, esperaba mejor sabor de los tacos de birria pero me dejó mucho que desea

Les meilleurs plats de cuisine mexicaine de Montréal ! Les saveurs sont authentiques, avec des ingrédients frais & des plats parfaitement préparés. Que ce soit les enchiladas, les burritos ou les tacos, tout est un véritable régal. Le service est rapide & le personnel très accueillant. Si vous aimez la cuisine mexicaine, c'est un endroit à ne pas manquer ! Je recommande à 100% ! :)

We were really excited to try this Mexican restaurant, but unfortunately, our experience with Uber Eats was disappointing. The food arrived smooshed, & nothing was warm. While we understand delivery isn't always perfect, this was below what we expected. The flavors were decent, but it was hard to fully enjoy when the presentation & temperature weren't right. We hope the restaurant can work on improving packaging to keep everything intact & warm for delivery orders

The most amazing & authentic Mexican food I've ever had outside of Mexico. The service is friendly & professional. The staff is always eager to answer any questions. You never have to feel intimidated about asking any questions. Great casual atmosphere; Great friendly staff; Great food; Great prices; & Great portions. Overall a GREAT Mexican Restaurant for a great Mexican experience. I rate this place six out of five mustaches.
