Not sure why they have a fairly low rating, in my opinion this is one of the best Mexican food places around. They have great salsa options that are all homemade as well as a pot of beans. They use high-quality Carne Asada so the meat is tender and good with minimal fat. read more

This used to be our #1 go to mexican spot for take out mexican. In the past I have always ordered wet chili verde burrito...today they made it with carnitas and the were horribly stingy with the green chili! Practically none on the inside and barely enough to cover on the outside. The cooks are different too. This has nowhere near the flavor it used to have. To expensive for the quality! Not sure I'll go anymore. Very sad! read more

My new fave taco spot ! When I 1st came I was shocked on how expensive everything looked on the menu like $4.15 each taco but after u get ur food u realize how much food they give u and why it cost so much. For example 1 taco here is the equivalent of 2-3 street tacos. Here they use 2 Big tortillas u have at home. Not to mention the amount of meat they put is crazy. Their salsa bar is a huge plus 3 different red salsa and 3 different green ones all different spice levels & taste. The workers are super friendly always Greats you. Small hole in the wall but clean inside& out. I came here 3 times in 2 days with the wife and kids that's how good it was . If I had to say something bad about this pace is they don't have a soda machine or free refills . The next bad thing is if u know anything about Mexican soccer and know the teams my dad hates Club America and this owner is a huge huge CA fan the entire inside and out is all America stuff lol we are from Leon GTO so that's my team I root for. But I'm here for the food not to play or argue soccer. Must try spot read more

Got 3 burritos and asada fries, asada burrito was a 5/10, pastor burrito was a 7/10, asada fries were a 3/10 didn't really have flavor, the salsa don't really have flavor either, spent 61 bucks for no flavor read more

Went there today and had a bad experience. i got a pound of carne asada and asked for a cup for some beans. one of the ladies was going to hand me a cup and a heavy set lady with a really crappy attitude that didn't speak english that well snatched the cup and made a huge deal about me getting it. she expected me to fill a whole bunch of little tiny cups with beans. salsa cups. avoid her at all cost read more

Te fixings is my favorite at this restaurant. Ask for a cup for the beans rather then using the little cups for the salsa. I ordered the pastor torta and it was so large its enough for 2 meals. My husband ordered the torta as well and he couldn't even finish it. El Rey really does have the largest tortas in the world. read more

I'm Upset because I ordered a buche huarache and there was hardly any buche on the huarache there was more beans lettuce sour cream than anything else so I paid almost $15.00 for beans definitely was my first and last time at this place and he fact that I drove about 25 minutes just to get there to get a bean and lettuce huarache instead a buche huarache really sucks read more

Food has always been bomb. I have been eating here since 2007. However, (I get the times are different) butthe prices are just out of control. Yes, pandemic and the inflation raised the price on everything but come on. I've seen the prices of my favorite plate (costillas rancheras) from $11.99 to $23 and change now? And tacos for almost $4... hell no. I love the food here, the tacos, the tortas, biónicos, but with these prices I will have to stop eating there for a while. Also, you guys need to work on your customer service. I'm not saying because you have a 15 year customer drop the red carpet but treat everyone like you really care . Last time I was not impressed with how the front desk person treated me and the person behind me. Obviously, she was not having a good day but that is not the customer's fault. Best of luck and see you guys in the short future I hope. read more

I had the most delicious torta de milanesa and agua Fresca de hortata ever. Very good quality food and service too

Burrito and tacos were great! However... My only bad experience was that when I ordered my orchata, I asked the lady "do the drinks come with refill" she said "yes they do" which clearly means when you empty your drink you will get a refill when we go to the counter. I went and said I needed a refill, then a different lady told me it was $1 for refill, then I asked the lady that told me there was refill, and she said "no I didn't say there was refills" Anyway I went and filled with water cause I didn't wanna make a scene and I was thirsty. Now to the food. The carnitas tacos were good, lots of topping to add to them and the free beans were a plus. My wet burrito al pastor was pretty dry for a wet burrito. I said "con todo" which means "with everything" in it and there was no sour cream, cheese or avocado, which normally burritos have. Over all the food is pretty average. Maybe next time I'll order a torta, as they claim to have the World's biggest tortas. Even though I live a few blocks from the place I won't be visiting it anytime soon, nothing different from any other Mexican food place. Manager if you see this review, please have a sing about refills, because what killed my experience was the lie from the cashier. read more

This place has always been good place to eat and food is really good. I had tacos Dorado for the first time and was really disappointed. I bit into it and the whole taco just fell apart. They fry the shell too much. It's a shame cause I love tacos Dorados. Service is always good but they can improve the dining area though. read more

Prices skyrocketed to $20+ for a single torta. The free charro beans don't make up for the price and taste of the torta. I ordered a Codiciada torta and they literally gave me a thin/unseasoned slice of each meat (pierna and milanesa) - for $20 That's unjustified, considering the tortas tend to be undecorated here (meat, avocado, and tomato [cheese is dependent on torta]) Save your money, and get a better tasting torta at Torta Sinaloa read more

I ordered a carne asada torta. It's enough for 2 people. The chili sauce condiment bar has multiple choices of salsas for every level of spice. Also, you can serve yourself a little bowl of whole beans. I also tried the agua Fresca, which I definitely recommend as there are multiple flavors. Very fast and efficient service. read more

A little less than average food, mediocre service, overall extremely average. Food: First and foremost, no price tags on 80% of the menus on the TV's above your head. My girlfriend and I had to inquire about the price of the food at the cash register, come to the realization that paying x is not worth the amount of food you're getting for x, and then get back out of line to pick something else about 3 different times. PLEASE put your pricing on the TV's because honestly, $14 is not worth it for the California burrito that we've received on a plate with 4 in-tact chips and chip crumbs. California burrito was dry and there was a LOT of fries in it, more than meat or any other inclusion inside of the burrito. I had to drown it with avocado salsa just to enjoy it. Good thing the food was enough for the both of us to share but even still, I could've gone for a little more food. Service: Service was okay. No smiles, no greeting, no thank you, nothing. Talk about customer service of the year. Yikes. Overall, I wish I could've gone somewhere else but now I know that we won't be coming back. Maybe one day if a friend based out of Chino brings us here, I'll try a torta. But on my own? Methinks not. read more

El Rey has had ridiculous pricing for a few years.. but they're not the only ones. One thing I can't just roll my eyes and ignore is skimpy nachos. Are times so hard that you have to charge 15 dollars for a splash of beans and light drizzle of carnitas?! We know the true value of these ingredients and it doesn't taste better just because you charge extra. I'm giving 2 stars because y'all gave me some 2 star nachos. This is CHINO represent for the west and stop letting chipotle out plate you. And where's the cheese.... read more

By far one of my favorite taco spots! With every order you get chips, grilled onions and peppers on the side! I love their lengua and el pastor as my personal favorite. Many of my friends love their carne asada. They have a large selection of salsas you can use, guacamole salsa, roasted red pepper, and a green verde salsa. I love their horchata, it's made in house and it's as sweet as most places. They also have many drinks and other dishes to try! I just always come for the tacos and horchata! read more

Heard about the craze on this restaurant so I ignored their yelp rating. Tried their staple food: tacos and burrito. Big portion which was great but the food was mediocre. I'll come back to give them a second chance, I'll try something different. read more

Omg there burritos are so food and a great serving amount food is amazing and customer service is good food was quick no need to wait

This place is pretty expensive. For a torta el Rey and a few tacos that didn't have any dressings or toppings, I paid almost $35. Salsa and fixings and beans are all self serve but there were a lot of flies in the restaurant so it was kinda unappetizing. The torta was a bit different as it didn't have beans in it but instead had grilled bell peppers. Wish it had grilled onions or something and the meat was a little chewy at times. A plus is that the torta is huge so it feeds at least two. The carnitas taco were huge cubed pieces of dry pork so I didn't like it much either. Plus is that the torta was hot and melted with cheese but probably wouldn't come back here as the onions and cilantro for the tacos at the self serve bar seemed old and unfresh. Overall the tacos had potential so maybe I ordered the wrong meats. The lengua tacos were pretty good and the al pastor tacos were delicious. Overall worth the try but pricy and a little on the dirty side read more

Que burritos y tortas mas impresionantes, parece que estoy en Chilangolandia. Ahora tenga cuidado es un nido de americanistas.

I've yet to eat at a different Mexican restaurant that's unmatched to this place. One of the reasons I love coming here are just because of their sauces. The food is really good although a little pricey but you definitely get your moneys worth. This place has not let me down and is pretty consistent with their sevice and quality. Parking sucks tho but asides from that, it's fire. read more

This is the second time I come to this restaurant. Person making your order is Rude, loud and sarcastic. I understand they have lots of orders but If we have questions about the food it's because we obviously don't cook the food. What ever happened to service with a smile? read more

I was so hungry at 10:42pm last night I stopped by and got the torta de carne asada the Horchata was good but the torta the meat was so dry and cold that I was very upset who wants to get home and eat a torta with cold meat that been just sitting there I expected quality for what I paid for I'm not going back read more

When your working at a food place especially now with the COVID , you shouldn't be handling money and then grabbing the utensils where the cooks are out . That is just cross contamination. And on top of it being so dam rude to the costumers over the phone and then in person also. When asking for more salsa when I am purchasing a big order of food , like really don't give me attitude while am already paying extra for the dam salsa and to have the nerve and say to me I have enough when clearly it wasn't . read more

I don't eat much meat, but good Al Pastor is worth it. Seeing that El Rey serves it from a spit makes ALL the difference and was worth the stop. Tiny place is a strip mall with only a few parking spots, inside they were packed! Service is nice and super fast, they had our order ready by the time we paid and hit up the salsa bar, perfect timing! Plenty of seating, a bit run down but well maintained. Endless menu, I kept it simple with two tacos and filled up at the salsa bar which is by far the best I have ever seen! Tons of sauces, salsas, toppings, free beans, veggies, everything was amazing! MY husband had the al pastor burrito and enjoyed it as well. Very good meat, made from scratch tortillas, cheap prices, all around authentic good Mexican food, I'll be back! read more

Used to love this place! The two stars are for the tacos de tripa because it can be hard to find and even more difficult to find them cooked well. Since COVID I've ordered several to-go orders for tacos with cilantro, NO ONION. They ALWAYS added onion. This happened at least three times. Today, since COVID restrictions are lifted I checked my food inside before leaving the restaurant. Sure enough.. onion. I kindly let one of the girls at the juice bar know and she was very rude. They made me new tacos and basically threw them into my hands. I get home and I still didn't get my cilantro LOL. If it's mixed, just tell me. Or just stop being careless. I won't be back because of the customer service read more

The tacos from el Rey are really good, especially the al pastor. They also have a salsa bar and free beans for tacos! I didn't get one of their fruit smoothies because it was cold outside but they looked good and fresh. The one thing that bugs me about el Rey is they don't put most prices on the menu.. it's embarrassing to ask about prices, but I'm not going to order food without knowing how much it costs! read more

Carne asada is definitely on point here! It was a really busy Sunday but we called our orders in & had a 30 minute wait. Definitely worth it! We'll be going back to try the Cali burritos (burritos are HUGE here!!) Note: carne asada fries come with beans here. Next time we order it we'll be special requesting it to be replaced with something else. read more

I live in Anaheim, I was in the area, I normally don't go there because it's far away, and I don't have to do anything there. I've known this place for years, and I like it for the food, but this time it will be my last time. I ordered 5 carne asada tacos, a huarache with carne asada, and a tamarind water, a total of $44.94, Pay with Debit card. When I get home to eat, I realize that they only gave me 3 tacos. I called the restaurant to tell them about the mistake they made. The solution they gave me was to go pick up my money or they would give me a credit to eat there. I told them that I don't live there, that I don't have anything to do there, it's not my route, that I should pay with a card and get the money back with a card, they made the mistake, not me, and I also left hungry. They mention that they cannot return the money through my card, I told them that through Zelle, and that neither. I only recommend that you check your orders before leaving, because the service at the cashier and by the manager is terrible. It's a shame they don't think about the customers. read more

I woke up with a craving for chilaquiles and at 9 AM on Sunday, the parking lot was already pretty full. Being the only Asian people in the restaurant, we had stares, so I guess this must be a pretty legit place to get food, right? The cashier seemed bored, but once I told her what we wanted efficiently, she perked up for those few moments. I find it funny that they have soy sauce and sriracha sauce alongside Tapatio here, but since I saw it on a huge poster next to some food, maybe it's a thing? Chilaquiles were HUGE. It was like never-ending chip goodness with two eggs slathered with green avocado sauce and red sauce. Yum! The taste was kind of repetitive after a while because there was simply so much food, though. It came with beans, which are the same as the free all-you-can-eat ones, and they were alright. Breakfast burrito was huge as well and our meal came with roasted jalapenos, chips and grilled onions. It was enough for 3-4 people, honestly and was $10. Not too shabby. I would come back and try tortas here next time. read more

This last visit made all their hard work go out the window. I have never had an issue before today. I clearly ordered a steak quesadilla, 2 carnitas tacos, 2 asada tacos. Very simple order. She cut me off loudly and started asking random stuff about the tacos. I repeated what I wanted. She didn't add the steak quesadilla. I went back and told her she didn't add it. She put in another order for it. I get my order and guess what? It's a cheese only quesadilla. She has a bad attitude, she knew exactly what I asked for. Then the guys told her that she got it wrong and she kept saying I told her cheese only. I order the same thing every time and I've been here countless times. If she can't give good service and get orders correct then she should go cut onions or something. Not even a thank you or apology. Not going back after this, I don't need to deal with this type of nonsense. read more

Great food! This is undeniable!! But... the customer service sucks! The cashier always has a bad attitude. The girl that gives you the salsas and drinks takes her job way too seriously. Don't even try to ask for more than 1 salsa because she will scold you to see if the amount of salsas is "proportionate" to what you ordered. When you ask for let's say 2 red salsas and 2 green salsas, she will ask you, "what did you order?" What if I like a whole red salsa and a whole green salsa on my butrito or torta? It's not her business! Anyways, all this to say that their food is great, but they can really ruin a business's reputation with their bad customer service. read more

Called to place an order, after doing so the woman on the phone asked "es todo?" i said yes & she hung up. HELLO, ETA? She didn't even ask for my name. Immediately i called back & said "hi, it's me again, how long will it take?" She said "unos 10 minutitos". Again, didn't ask for my name. So I go inside only to find a line. I walk over to the side & ask a lady, "is there a line for orders placed over the phone?" She responds, without hearing my question "you have to get in line to order" so I say, "what's the point of placing an order ahead of time, if I still have to wait in the same line?" They murmured amongst themselves & then laughed. Basically, estas señoras son unas groseras. These women are rude. They're lucky the Tropical Jugo is worth enduring their terrible customer service. Also, one of the ladies wiped the lid of my juice with her hand. AT LEAST USE A NAPKIN! Aguas Frescas read more

This is my go to Taqueria in my local neighborhood. I am never disappointed. I usually order their burritos, and I keep it easy - bean and cheese. However, the last time I added potato and it was so good. I love their tortillas, which are home made because they really make the burrito delicious. I also enjoy their free beans, varieties of salsas, and chips. I ordered their avocado salsa once and wasn't a huge fan, but everything else is delicious. read more
