Extremely kind, welcoming service with some really great food and relaxing atmosphere. Will be coming back :)

It might be a 4 if we ate there in person but the takeout was a 3. The veggie burrito didn't have many veggies in it. It was just rice, beans, and tomatoes. The tomatoes were big chunks. The guac was good and the red sauce! The king burrito was more of a 4/5. My husband loved it but wished it was hotter. We got takeout so that was our bad. The rice and beans were great! And the chips were fresh and salty read more

I got the birria taco and an adobada taco. I was a little disappointed that the birra taco didn't come with consume. And although the guy told me they dip the shell in the consume honestly i feel like it really needs to be served with the consume. And the meat was also dry. So that one was a disappointment However the adobada taco was pretty good. And if u like spicy salsa I totally recommend their hot salsa. So very delicious. read more

Taco King ATE! Left no crumbs! As a Hispanic Los Angeles native, I approve this message! Everything we tried was so good. We ordered a chimichanga, a burrito and enchilada plate, taco with adobada meat, and a bean dip. Everything was great. Their salsa bar had various salsas and even sour cream! The only downsides were the chips for my bean dip were stale and the cashier lady had a sour attitude. All in all, I'd say definitely authentic Mexican food! read more

Was great a few years ago but they definitely sell old food sometimes. Unfortunately cannot recommend taco king anymore.

Service is great but the chimichanga changed over the years the Fairbanks location still holds but the North Pole one needs some work read more

Ordered carnitas tacos...one word GROSS!!! Contents in taco shell swimming in oil/grease. How the heck can they serve something like that.. I've never seen it before. Two stars because the carnitas did have a good flavor..but will not return. read more

Ordered birria tacos via drive through. It's nice to have the option to not get out of the car to pickup tacos. The tacos were made to order and the birria does not disappoint. The flavor was spot on. read more

First of all, there is no air conditioning so don't even bother eating inside. Secondly, don't even bother eating here. The food is literally just meh. Not only that, it's greasy meh. You order a taco and you get grease. The beans have a strange taste to them. It's hard to figure out what it is, but it's very strange. The rice was generic. No real flavor. The burrito was chicken and it was very dry. There was nothing amazing about the place. The service was slow and they didn't have much to offer. I can't speak for it much other than that. read more

Ordered from them via their website for delivery. Food was delivered within 10 mins of placing the order. Soup was ice cold. Called about it and the worker blamed it on DoorDash for making the soup cold. Would give 0 stars if I could. Would never order from here again read more

Excellent tacos! These folks are pro's, I custom ordered a burrito and they said 'no problem' with a smile, the floor is clean, the food excellent quality and quantity, friendly, and I will be back. Ambiance is family friendly, tables and booths, good parking (although I walked from the place I'm staying). read more

This place was recommended so I was excited. Got the nachos but I was surprised I had to add my own toppings after I was served. After I gathered my sour cream, jalapeños and pico, my nachos were delish. read more

Food was a good value and tastes great. The staff is friendly. The setting is like any fast food restaurant.

The people who work here seemed very nice, but please just skip this place. The food was awful. The tortillas were hard and dry. The meat had no taste and was over cooked. The chips were over cooked as well. The salsa. The restaurant itself was dirty, and to be honest smelt. read more

Taco King is THE place for Mexican food in Fairbanks. It's no San Antonio, but it will leave you full and satisfied. So far I have tried the Lengua, Carne Asada, Adobada, and Chile Verde Combos. The meats are always well cooked - tender and perfectly seasoned. These combos come with rice, beans with cheese, and warm corn or flour tortillas. They're garnished with onions, cilantro, and a lime wedge - adding the perfect amount of freshness and acidity. Their horchata is a hit or miss, refreshing, but I prefer a stronger cinnamon taste. Their flan was egg-y and had the texture of a soft, melted sponge - not creamy or custardy as I'm used to. The salsa... I tend to stick with the mild. Going from mild to medium is going from 0-100. The spicy salsa has an overwhelming smokiness that is a bit off putting. When you walk in, you will order food, pay, and THEN sit down. The food will be brought to you if you choose to dine in. The interior is stunning with beautifully decorated handcrafted chairs, and an overall peaceful atmosphere. Stick with the combos and you will be safe. Happy Eating!! read more

Very Good food and service for the price we paid, while leaving for airport ended up here for dinner. Ambience wise it was okayish, very few people. Customers place the order at the counter. The person taking order was very nice, ready to do all customizations. Really liked their Churros, fresh and crisp. read more

We went through the drive through. No menu. We used the menu from their website to order. My wife had a small chicken burrito. She said it was okay. My father in law had a ground beef taco and I had a taco salad with ground beef. We both got really sick. Throwing up sick. I think hard pass. I would never eat there again. -1 star if possible. read more

Taco King is my favorite Mexican restaurant in town by far. And I recently learned they're also fabulous caterers. They catered my wedding, and were extremely accommodating, provided excellent service, and plentiful, delicious food, on time, with no issues. Given all that, it's hard to believe they're also one of the most affordable catering options in Fairbanks. Absolutely recommend! read more

Great tasting, reasonably-priced food with generous portions. We ate there twice during our Fairbanks visit. The interior is decorated nicely, too. The servers were all nice. read more

This is the best Mexican(?) food in Fairbanks and the staff are very friendly. I have never seen anyone looking mad like other places in town. read more

Pretty good spot for some good Hispanic food. A little noisy but the staff were very friendly. The ordering system is a little weird - you order at the counter and then sit down and they bring the food to you. The food was good. Portions were good as well. My husband and I enjoyed a chicken chimichanga and veggie burrito. We got the combos which is an extra $3.50 and includes rice, beans, and a drink. The rice and beans were very yum. I also appreciated their little salsa and sour cream bar. I love me some sour cream so it's nice to be the dictator of how much goes on my plate. :) Overall, our experience was good. Nothing crazy but definitely not bad by any means. read more

This is one of the better Mexican restaurants in town. I normally get their carne asada and have never been disappointed with it. Occasionally when we try newer things we find something we're not really fond of, for example bean dip appetizer that's just refried beans with cheese on top, but it's not super pricey so we're not spending a lot on trying out newer things when we do. This is also the only place in town that I know of that serves horchata which is a nice treat read more

Have to keep in mind that this is Fairbanks. They do an admirable effort with trying to keep the food authentic, but the customer base and the supply chain clearly don't trend towards authentic here. Menudo was almost decent but ended up way salty. Tacos aren't street tacos, more like overly greasy soft tacos, but compared to a lot of other meals this place definitely hit the spot. Employees are often originally from Mexico, they try hard with the salsa - but apparently even getting Habanero up here is hard... so I appreciate their efforts, but you still have to keep in mind the limitations. read more

Very good; fit 36 high school students and we all got our food within 15 minutes on a Friday night. Food was perfect and hot. Our entire group got multiple plates of churros on the house. read more

If you order delivery and they forget an item they tell you they'll go get it and bring it back but NEVER do. I have called them back on multiple occasions bc they forgot some items and they tell me they will send it and sometimes have been told they'll bring me a free dessert for the inconvenience but that NEVER comes either. They have charged me many times for items I have never received. Food is mediocre at best. We order here bc quite frankly the options for decent tacos is lacking in Fairbanks. Halibut tacos are not good, shrimp tacos are the best taco they have, the special tacos are ok. The fries are ok, the burritos give my husband the runs every time without fail (we no longer order burritos), I've tried a chicken enchilada it wasn't bad, and the churros are good. The chips are a waste of money, you're better off buying a bag of chips from the store. read more

Food is consistently good and ready really quickly. My husband and I always order a king burrito and share. A lot of food for a good price.

While in Fairbanks visiting we gave the Taco King a try and were glad we did. We are used to So. California Mexican food and this was as close as you could get to it in Alaska. We completely enjoyed the shredded beef and carnitas Sopes/Gorditas, cheese and Enchiladas with rice and bean, the3 Mexican taco special and Horchata. We even went back for more the next day. read more

From the street this may not look like the crown jewel of Mexican cuisine, but with quick service and authentic tasting Mexican food, Taco King cements itself as the King of Tacos....at least in Fairbanks. For those of us traveling from the lower 48, Taco King is a welcome sight for those seeking a taste of the Southern U.S. border as we could not be farther from it. The interior is nothing special, but Service was quick and the food was good. Definitely a place to stop and enjoy a good meal. read more

Popped in with our tour group of 30 people. Didn't bat an eye. Food was so fast! And so good! Friendly service and great asada.

Ordered food for me and my family got my food had hair in it will not be back. Ordered the Chile verde and it looked like it had ground beef in it. Never seen that before with Chile verde honestly wouldn't know how it tasted because I threw it away 12.99 for a small amount of food and forgot my tortillas with my order as well, give me a break. I will not bring my family here and do what I can to help other avoid ever coming here read more

Wasn't expecting much. Needed a place to eat before our flight out of Fairbanks. Food was simple yet delicious! Great and fast walk up service with tabled dining room. Very satisfied! read more

Delish!!!! The special tacos are superb!! We come here often and have never left disappointed. When you enter the building, you go to the counter and are greeted with the friendliest of cashiers! The menu above has photos and descriptions that are accurate to what you'll receive. After ordering, grab your silverware and salsas, Pico de Gallo, or sour cream and have a seat! They promptly bring your food out to you with a smile. Customize your food with toppings and enjoy!! read more

Place was great and good service. I would recommend to anyone wanting to get quick Mexican food.

It is what it is. I had a taco salad. The hamburger was watery. California has amazing Mexican food, Texas has Tex Mex. This place is like " Alaska Mex," Not sure what you'd call it but I really don't like watery hamburger meat. read more

Pro's: Service was friendly, many items to choose from, food was hot, and it seemed like a lot of the locals came here. Con's: A mountain of cheese on my carnitas nachos that congealed rather quickly, the salsa bar was a small disaster (to be fair the salsas I had were good/temperature controlled), and a lot of the tables seemed to be dirty. Still, I might've gotten them on a bad day... read more

Called them the Saturday after thanksgiving and found a first class rude mouth smarty pants taking orders. Turns out the delivery driver, who was fantastic explained that the owner was using a call center service in Mexico to take orders. When I asked how big the tacos were the smarty pants call center guy said, UH, I dont' know. I asked, how do they compare to Taco Bell? His reply, we don't eat Taco Bell. The food is bland. Honestly, I'm sure I got better tacos from high school cafeteria and I'm 35 years old. These reviews must be fake. They could do better with the packet of taco seasoning from the grocery store. I threw everybit of my food away, the wife ate half of hers. If you like gas station cheeseburgers and think hot pockets are good pizza you might think this is good Mexican food. read more

I'd been looking for good Mexican food in Fairbanks for years until I came across this business that I'd passed up for so long. The tacos are delicious, and the rice and beans are delicious as well! The location was fantastic, and the service was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quick Mexican meals. read more

The food was great, service was great, employees were friendly and pricing was not too bad for the portion you're given. I was craving for fajitas but it wasn't on the menu. I opted for the deluxe burrito and it was delicious!!! Order and pay before you seat yourself. We went around 2100 therefore it wasn't too long of a wait after you order. They bring your order out to your table. If you're hungry for Mexican food but you're rolling on a budget, I recommend this place for sure! If you're looking to just eat and enjoy your food, I still recommend this place! Give it a try! read more
