    How a burrito should always look
    David Y.

    Good tacos and burritos. Not the best or anywhere close to being the best taco truck I've ever tried, but for Sacramento standards, this place is good. I'm from LA, so it's hard for me to get excited after taking a bite of a taco or a burrito. El Reys doesn't get me excited but at the very least, it reminds me of home because they do it right. And with that, they will remain my only go-to taco truck in Sacramento until proven otherwise. Give em a try and lmk what you think!

    Best tacos I've tried up north so far!!! It's a bit difficult finding a bomb taco spot coming from Stockton.. however this taco truck is def comparable and in our top lists now.

    This is the place...

    Went to pick up burritos and tacos for the family's dinner tonight. Most of us had Burritos Al Pastor, while others of us had carnitas tacos. The food was very good. The staff was friendly, and the location is pretty convenient. It seems a little pricey, but I will say that hours after eating the burrito I'm still full! I'm sure I'll be back!

    Carne asada quesadilla
    Candace C.

    Wanted a "taco truck" burrito, a nostalgic, childhood favorite as opposed to a plated burrito with all the fixings. Found Tacos El Rey compliments of Yelp. I arrived and there was no wait. Decided on the carnitas burritos for my hubby and I, this visit. The young man who took my order was very nice and answered my questions. Order was ready within minutes and the "burrito bag" was awfully heavy; again reminiscent of childhood, huge burritos. Burrito was nice and hot, but single noted in flavor. We've had the quesadilla and tacos in the last which were good. Will try nachos next time. Burrito has great potential, but couldn't tell one ingredient (rice, cheese, carnitas, etc) from the other.

    Quesobirria

    First time here, I ordered 2 quesobirrias for $8.50 total. Super flavorful and quick service. I'll definitely be back!

    Carne asada tacos - bomb but LACK OF CILANTRO, ONION & SMALL LIME NOT ENOUGH FOR THREE TACOS.

    First time customer & had some decent tacos for a decent price. Also got our order quick, only 2 people ahead of us. I am Hispanic so these were pretty decent, I got 3 tacos de carne asada & 1 birria taco. My sister came with me & she ordered 2 carne asada & 1 pastor but she got 3 carne asada don't know if that was an error from their end because there was no difference in taste or looks in tacos either. Must say lack of cilantro, onions on my tacos and only had 1 tiny thin lime for my 4 tacos very greedy on condiments in general. (LOOK AT PICTURE) Had to cut up limes when I got home & some more onion to add to my tacos. I got Mild salsa on my tacos which was very good, next time I will try their hot salsa. ALERT - That one Birria Taco me & my sister shared we wanted to try it & so glad we only got one because after I ate my carne asada tacos I felt fine but after taking 2 bites of my birria taco my stomach started TURNINGGG. My sister ate her carne asada tacos first too & then once she took ONE bite of birria taco her stomach started TURNING quickly too. It felt like we were both having really BAD stomach cramps soooo glad I had Alka Selzer those pains were PAINFUL. Not sure what happened with that birria taco if they have had that meat for a while or what but definitely won't ever get those again warning y'all about those be careful.

    I've had a couple of items from this local food truck and I just got to say I respect the consistency of day in and day out whether it's a good day or a bad day this truck is out here and ready to serve! The gentleman handling Customer Service is very respectful. The food itself is very tasty and loaded up with seasoning and taste always grilled perfectly and they go all through with every single meal, recommend for catering or even to eat a quick snack !

    We went back to Jalisco on a taco Tuesday. Again the place was super clean…read more We ordered 4 tacos - grilled fish, al Pastor, grilled chicken, and Barbacoa. Everything was really good to eat. Very tasty. We especially like the grilled fish and the grilled chicken. An addition to the tacos we also had the Mexican street corn appetizer - wonderful. Our server was Cris and he explained all of the Mexican dishes. That is, I didn't know what barbacoa is nor what al pastor is. We plan on returning with more friends and family.

    Well the place was empty, but it was a Sunday... And it is a small place located on Madison Avenue…read more I went because of the high star rating and it was close to where I was coming from, after experiencing their food I would say this is probably the worst Mexican food I've had in a very long time. The Carnitas was the driest probably old pork also as it was pretty flavorless, the beans were fine, the rice was not traditional and it was grey.... Unsure about that. The crispy chicken tacos were on Old corn tortillas they were not crispy they were rubbery as if they were cooked off earlier maybe even the day before the chicken was dried out and cold not shredded pretty much no flavor to it... the guacamole was old it was dark green. The chile relleno was not traditionally cooked, more like a chilli in sauce. beans ok, rice grey/brown. Flavor point off. The cashier was nice. The place was clean because it was empty it does have TVs to clearly see if you're watching a game, unfortunately I came to this restaurant for food not entertainment will I ever come back no and will I tell people about it yes I will tell them not to go there's too many other great places the bill came to about $60 so you can go anywhere for this... I should've went the other direction where I knew the food was good. It is what it is you try new places and you hope that you're going to get good food or people actually care what they're doing., they do not care here what they're serving up and that is obvious.

Be careful turning into the driveway, as some other cars may drive up to the ATM on the right, stopping perpendicular to the ATM (rather than parallel close to the ATM) and block your path going forward. This happened when I drove in, driver blocking traffic while his passenger used the ATM. I managed to maneuver around the blocking car and find parking around the side of the building. This location seemed consistently busy, as there was a steady line when I arrived and continued while I was eating here. But the line moves at a good pace so the wait is not very long. The people working behind the counter are great. They really pile on the food here. And they're also more generous with the scoop of guacamole. It's way more than at any of the Chipotle locations in the bay area. Can we just clone the workers here and have them staff the bay area stores? You're definitely getting your money's worth. They mostly have take out orders here. There is a little bit of seating inside but not a whole lot. A few small tables, one high top table for 2, and one larger round booth for 3 or 4 people. There are 2 restrooms at this location. The restroom doors are on the left side as you walk in. It requires a code to unlock, which can be found on your receipt.
