What Téa Phillips likes about Tacos El Rey:
These are the best tacos I have ever had in my life. I order the carnitas tacos every time and I go here at least once, often twice a week. I tell EVERYONE these are the best tacos I've ever had. YOU NEED THESE TACOS! Also, the pineapple and cantaloupe drinks are soooo good and refreshing! Also, super affordable! View all feedback.

What Elizabeth Casey doesn't like about Tacos El Rey:
Birria tacos: Bland, dry, unseasoned, not enough cheese, tortilla shell was soggy not crispy at all, no consome sauce. My daughter's nuggets and fries tasted like old freezer food at grocery store. It was edible.We're not that hard to please, but this was just down right disappointing cause we always drove passed this truck when we finally tried it, this was the sad result.... Her watermelon drink was really good tho... View all feedback.

Chicken quesadilla was very tasty. Hot sauce was authentic.

"Where are those Michelin stars judges when you need them?. The only people giving this place a bad review can't afford to eat here. This is a very romantic place. The food was great and the service the best in 100's of miles. There is a reason the Food Network came to this place. It is the whole package and in a place where most people have never even seen food so good."

"I am vegetarian so I had to order the fried green tomatoes sandwich without bacon. It was served on a croissant. It was ok, but I have had this sandwich at many other restaurants and this one was disappointing. The tomatoes were sliced so thin that when you bit into the sandwich all you could taste was the crunchy batter on the outside. Also it would have been much better on a sourdough bread. My major issue with this place was the water. I always drink water with my meals at every restaurant. Sometimes they serve tap water and ice which is ok. However, the water here is horriblehorriblehorrible. It taste like you are drink water through a rusty iron pipe. It was the worse water imaginable. I was force to order a mixed drink so I wouldn’t choke to death on my sandwich. I was afraid to order anything that may contain water. I only gave them 3 stars for the atmosphere and service time.I will not be back mainly because of the water they use to wash dishes, serve to customers to drink."

"Enjoy the Nueben! It was delicious. The environment was relaxing and casual. My husband thought the tap handles hanging from the ceiling was pretty neat!"
