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.

I've been a big fan of El Rey Del Taco for a while. After all they have some of the best tacos & taco meat selections in town. The competition is town is fierce, but they are still in the mix. However, I'm here to talk about breakfast. Jean-Talon market early in the morning when the stands are prepping is always a pleasurable walk & stopping to have breakfast at Rey is a big part of it for me. Talking with Don Javier who welcomes you with a freshly brood pot of coffee & a selection of authentic Mexican recipes is a heartwarming sensation. Whether it be gorditas, chilaquiles or any other option on the menu; everything is freshly made.

Love the look of this restaurant. We enjoyed sitting on the outside patio. Birria meat was a little tough but the Plato's were decent. Service was great.

El servicio es deficiente la comida sin sabor El ambiente incomodo y el precio para lo que comes es un poco alto pero siempre se vale que vivan la experiencia propia
