King Reno Tacos

I love this place! I…read morehave lunch here at least every other week, service is good and food is fantastic! The student special is cheaper than food on campus and the quality is much better.

Rarely do I write a review after just 1 visit, but I'm making an exception for this little gem!…read more I've known of this place for years, but never stopped in before. I was glad that I did finally drop in. Located in a little strip mall on Valley Road, it's an unassuming place from the outside. The inside is small, but comfortable and it felt very "homey". When I walked in, the first thing that hit me was the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. The tastes did not disappoint. We were greeted and sat promptly by a personable young man that brought us water. The owner then brought us our drinks...a margarita for my dining companion and a Mandarin Jarritos for me. My sip of the margarita tasted amazing! Great balance and flavor. We also received a basket of chips and salsa. You could tell that they were made fresh to order. The chips were crispy and hot. The salsa was outstanding...fresh cilantro...balanced combination of flavors with a nice, subtle kick of spiciness at the back end. Not too spicy...just right. I usually have to ask for something hotter...not in this case. The food was amazing! My dining companion ordered the Chile Relleno plate and I got the Molcajete. The prices are outstanding and the amount of food? Huge plates! My Molcajete was sizzling hot and overflowing with chicken, beef, shrimp, nopales and ground beef mixed with veggies. A large plate of refried beans and spanish rice also accompanied this presentation. Fresh, hot, delicious corn tortillas rounded out each of our orders. We were also given a couple of squeeze bottles of sauces...green and red...to add to our meals if we wanted. Freshly made and the bottles were presented in a plastic tub filled with ice to keep them cold. Great addition to the already amazing food! There's also a nice selection of Mexican hot sauces on the table for you to choose from. We both took to-go boxes...so much food! Mine lasted for 2 more meals! I plan to return on a regular basis...this is now one of my favorite local places for great Mexican food. As always, I suggest that you visit to see what YOU think...

When you think of a hole in the wall spot, this is what you want to see and this is what you want to smell! I got my order to go because I said... let's take some home to just wind down from the day. Asada had some delicious traditional notes on its own and the tortillas were perfectly coated from the flavor! Al pastor was spicy with a hint of sweetness, I would have wanted a little more sweetness, but that's the only thing I'd say as you can taste the marinated charm hit you how you want it! As for the barbacoa... think birria but Smokey!!! Great notes of flavor as you're hit with a consume that's just as rich and all paired super well with their green salsa!

The restaurant is usually fairly busy, but it wasn't at their dinner service tonight. (I'm not complaining about having the place to ourselves.)

Have you heard of Dream tacos & cantina yet?…read more My partner and I have eaten here once before, and it was delicious. However, nothing could have prepared us for the dinner that we had last night! My food looked amazing, and the waitress said it barely made out of the kitchen because the staff wanted to eat it on spot! Purposeful Pick Atmosphere: Warm, welcoming, and full of character. The open garage door creates a seamless indoor/outdoor space that opens onto a lovely patio. The only thing I'd change is that the music was just a bit too loud for my taste. It was very difficult to hold a conversation. Plant-Based Friendly: Their vegetarian burrito can easily be made vegan, making it a wonderful option for those looking for plant-based choices. Dog-Friendly: Their outdoor patio welcomes dogs, making it a great stop if you're out exploring with your four-legged companion. Service: The staff was absolutely phenomenal. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. The Food: I honestly wasn't expecting to be this impressed. The vegetarian burrito absolutely blew me away. With one simple modification, it can become vegan, and every bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The homemade chips and salsa were incredible too. This is easily one of the most memorable burritos I've had in a very long time, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Got here at 5:55pm and just made it for their HH! Lucky. So I got the HH Taco & Beer. One of each tacos and a Modelo! Good deal. The tortillas seemed steamed?!?! I can't really describe it. It was not good or bad, just different. I like the fact that they were NOT greasy and did NOT stick together, but the texture and flavor was just so different that it was slightly off for me. My buddy got this veggie dream burrito and loved it. Oh, and of course a Modelo, he would not/could not let me drink alone, lol. Food is GOOD. Ambiance - Small local business. Indoor and outdoor seating. Semi open kitchen, well from where I was sitting, I could see the kitchen, lol. Plenty of mall parking, but of course we just walked from next door. A clean men's restroom. Service - This is where it was rough. The girl working did not seem happy... She just did her job, barely. She was not bad, just not good. Had to ask for stuff which she got for us. I look forward to coming back and improving my visit; and improving my review. Price - $30 + tip with a credit card surcharge. Cash discount would have been $28 + tip. Thank you for having the cash discount information before we paid. We still paid by CC. Overall, reasonably priced for what we got.

This is the third time and will obviously be the last time I waste my time. The first time was just a bit off with the timing and friendliness and the place was busy and pretty new. The last two times there is NO EXCUSE. A few months ago, pulled up to the drive thru and no one ever helped me at least 5 minutes of sitting there. There was one customer eating inside and no cars in the lot. A week ago, I decided maybe drive thru wasn't the best way so I went inside to order. I was inside the place waiting at the front counter for more than 6 minutes until I walked out of a completely customerless business, and I know why. There was at least one person working that I could see that never made any attempt to acknowledge me. Sorry NTG, I am not going to beg to get helped and I am sure if your employees think customers are too annoying to help, I am sure the food would have sucked too. I know this is't the nicest area to have a business but DO BETTER or relocate.

The service was friendly and their timing was accurate (it was just about 10 minutes for 2 taco plates that each included 3 tacos each with rice and beans). Price was reasonable too. It was $15 for the taco plate (3 tacos, rice, beans) and that included a can of soda. Beans were very soft and certainly made with delicious lard. Rice was soft and fluffy and light in flavor (but in a good way-- it balanced the plate really well). Red salsa was like a mild/medium and was more hot than the green salsa (the green salsa had a mild heat). We tried the avocado salsa too; I could see that being amazing on a quesadilla. The avocado salsa also has some mild heat to it. The taco truck itself is fine but the area doesn't have the best ambiance (we saw a number of people out on foot at night in the nearby parking lots looking like they were possibly on drugs-- and this was when it was under 30 degrees out with some residual snow and ice on the ground from the recent storm). Nevertheless, the "ambiance" won't deter us from returning again-- and I must say as someone who previously lived in So Cal THESE were the kind of carne asada tacos my taste buds have been searching for in Reno.
