Reviews


A popular Mexican restaurant in Colorado Springs offers a variety of tacos, but some reviewers found them to be bland and lacking flavor. However, the homemade hot sauce was a standout, described as superior to Tabasco. Many noted the small portion sizes, but appreciated the affordable prices. The green chili was highly recommended by locals, with some even calling it the best in Colorado. The limited seating and long lines during peak hours were seen as part of the charm of this cozy establishment. Overall, the restaurant received praise for its authentic Mexican cuisine, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere, generally, El Taco Rey receives a rating of 4.6 on average.

Best pork avocado burrito in town. They are very personal because it is a family restaurant. You have to catch it when they're open.
