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.

We ordered tacos & veg platter, it was decent but I've had better. In fact, I think their other branch is much better than this one, which is what took me to this one.

Avid eater from Toronto, but these are easily the BEST tacos I've ever had. A sit down restaurant with a small grocery section at the door. A must stop location if you are visiting the Jean Talon Market area. They were having a 6 tacos for 18$ deal which is great value. Had 3 carne (which comes with onions & peppers) & 3 suadero tacos. While both were very delicious, the carne were my favorite. Their house red salsa is hot & peppery, but so delicious I basically drank up the salsa that came with the complimentary tortilla chips.

Everything was so good & authentic, the staff was super friendly & the prices are pretty decent for the quality & quantity of food you get. I loved everything, we had Birria tacos & pollo quesadilla. Will come back ✔️

Good food, but way over priced for what it is & what you get. Not to mention some of the staff are incredibly rude, almost as thought they're annoyed you came in to spend money..

I ordered them from a food delivery service, asked for a few modifications extra sauce, etc they went OVER THE TOP to please me, & the food was great. Delivery took an hour but was exactly on time with the advertised delivery. I cant believe how nice they were! Plus the salsa verde is ultra spicy & great texture. Would recommend. Will order again.
