Roi du Taco Express is described as a small, friendly spot with delicious cuisine and impeccable service. The tacos are a standout, and drinks are recommended, with many saying the food and hospitality make the visit worth it. The terrace is perfect while the interior is compact and the street outside can be loud and busy. Takeout portions are sometimes tiny, especially the burritos, and plenty of reviewers say in person dining offers better value. A delivery note suggests keeping the bowl and the taco separate to avoid a soggy bowl. One reference to the food truck at Pride describes the tacos as absolutely amazing and reminiscent of Mazatlan. Overall, the reviews agree on tasty food and welcoming service, with some caveats about price and portion size, and a common thread of plans to return.
The tacos have a great taste, but the beef & the meat in the quesadillas are a bit too fatty, which could be improved for a better flavor. On the bright side, the margarita drink is excellent & worth trying!

Okay, I dont want to be too mean, but these tacos were so so awful. Dog food. Margaritas advertised as 2x$20 (with no mention of happy hour) but charged $12 each.
Nous n'avons pas été déçus par le 1/4 de viandes à partager! La viande était excellente. On a juste manqué de tortillas (une ou deux de plus aurait été mieux, car on avait plus de viande que pour le nombre de tortillas) Le serveur qui a pris notre commande était très gentil & serviable.
We booked Roi du taco's food truck for our meet & greet the day before our wedding! Carlos & his team are amazing :) They were so flexible when it rained, emailed & texted to coordinate everything & made everything so smooth But the thing I really want to mention is the food: First of all the ceviche. Amazing. The tacos were so fresh & full of flavor!!! Thank you for making our wedding weekend so special!!!!
J'ai pris un plat à apportez sur place , le ceviche était fabuleux & les tacos très savoureux. Le service était très bon. Les saveurs me rappelais mon voyage au Mexique 🇲🇽.

I've been ordering takeaway food here regularly since opening a few months ago - the food is solid, if unspectacular across the board. Unfortunately, the joint seems to be going downhill badly. The last two orders were missing a few items; Ordering has become a tedious task due to language/communication difficulties. The most disappointing thing is the drastic decline in service quality. When I returned to the restaurant to pick up my missing items, the waiters were completely indifferent - no apologies, multiple grins. Very disappointing & off-putting. Je commande régulièrement des plats à emporter ici depuis l'ouverture il y a quelques mois - la nourriture est solide, sans être spectaculaire dans l'ensemble. Malheureusement, l'établissement semble se dégrader. Lors des deux dernières commandes, il manquait quelques articles ; la commande est devenue une tâche fastidieuse en raison des problèmes de langue & de communication. Le plus décevant est la baisse drastique de la qualité du service. Lorsque je suis retourné au restaurant pour récupérer les articles manquants, les serveurs étaient complètement indifférents - pas d'excuses, plusieurs sourires. Très décevant & rebutant.
Holy guacamole this place rules! They really do live up to the name "king of tacos"! I had the El Santo torta along with a glass of horchata which I highly recommend trying on a rainy day as it felt like a nice warm comforting hug :) Staff were super friendly & really know their stuff as the whole process was efficient & hygienic. TLDR this place has better sandwiches than Subway :)

I had a really good time there, I ordered a gringa & it was delicious, the horchata water & the flan were delicious too, the attention by the waiter was amazing.
