I will now be tipping zero dollars from now on. This is super discrimination . Don't pick and choose. Include chips or don't. One lady always gives them to me.

These last three visits were trial visits. I am happy to say that we did not experience the same behavior as we did in 2025.

Not much standing or waiting room and the dining area is very small, so there were no seats. It took 15 minutes to order and another 15 to get me food. So not a quick lunch. Of course, have to start off with the street tacos. For $3.75 a pop, I was hoping for a little better to be honest. Al pastor and Carne Asada meats were both tough and chewy. The best one was the marinated chicken. Good, but not great. There are some other items I might try to round out a fuller opinion, but street tacos are my baseline for assessing how they manage the fundamentals.

First let me start by saying that we have been looking for authentic Mexican food in the area and…read morewe have always been disappointed- at least until today. My son found Tacos El Rey right here in Caldwell, and while the menu is small, it is legit. The asada tacos were delicious; the meat was tender and not fatty at all- my son got the chicken flautas plate and he enjoyed them, and my daughter got a chicken quesadilla which she also really liked. The salsas were delicious too. The price point is decent- we paid around 50 with tip and sodas, which isn't bad in our opinion. They were friendly and the food came out fresh and fast. The place itself isn't huge, and I imagine it can get crowded but we went for lunch on a Tuesday and it wasn't bad at all; nothing fancy, but it has a decent amount of seating. Overall we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back.

We overall really like tacos, El Rey! The staff is always very friendly…read more My true only complaints would be the pricing is getting a little higher for the portion sizes. We spent $50 on four tacos, a flautas plate, side of beans, and one burrito.

My wife and I came here for the first time today, after I read the reviews. We live in Star, and…read morethis restaurant is only about 10 minutes from our home. Located right on 44, it seems to have plenty of parking in the back and a few parking spots in the front. It is a free-standing building, nice enough curb appeal, and inside the seating is ample, with a combination of booths and tables. There is a drive-thru with an awkward set up. The pick-up window is located out in the seating area, so that the staff have to walk across the restaurant to deliver the food to the people ordering. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Both the female and the male employees were very nice. My wife ordered the carnitas plate and I ordered the Shrimp a la Diabla. My wife thought her carnitas were a little crispy, as in over-cooked, but she did say that the meat was not dried out. She enjoyed her meal. I enjoyed the sauce of the Diabla dish; it was spicy enough. What I would have preferred as more mushrooms and a lot less of the thickly cut onion slices, which I don't care for and actually don't agree with me, if eaten in quantities. I would have also preferred more mushrooms, which I do enjoy. Still, the shrimp were plump and well-cooked, and there were plenty of them. Also, contrary to some reviews, we thought that there dishes offered plenty of food. There were flies in the restaurant, which are a real turn-off for us. Once we moved over under one of the ceiling fans, it did not seem like a problem. All in all, a good first experience. We will definitely be back.
