Review update, still one of the only good restaurants in town. This is an amazing place. Very few…read moreMexican restaurants like this where you can tell someone that cares is making the food instead of just opening big cans of salty crap. Build a custom burrito, eat in the store so you can get the free chips and try their amazing salsa. You will thank me. P.S. Its like a small teriyaki place inside, so keep your expectations in check. Couple of tables, strip mall, you get it.

This place is decent. I had to stop by the Harbour Freight due to my local one in Everett not…read morehaving what I needed and I was in town long enough to eat so I first stopped at the Henrys' Donuts for a bacon maple bar and black coffee. As I was chilling and eating an impromptu breakfast I was looking at the strip mall style food area and Taqueria El Rey caught my eye. I love tacos. And they had the meat I almost judge very taqueria on heavily: Tripas. So I was still before opening time so I just let my quick breakfast marinate and digest and hung out in the parking lot for a bit. And as it hit closer to opening time I was a little nervous cuz I had yet to see any movement inside but sure enough close to five minutes before opening I saw a lady move around and then turned the sign on and opened the door. It was early but I had waited long enough lol. I got out and as solan as she turned around for the counter I was ready. I ordered two tripas, carne asada, carnitas and a buche. Water and a can of coke to wash it down with. It came with a side of chips and salad which was alright. The salsa was nothing special but I finished it with some chips left over. When the tacos came you could feel they just left the heat which is always a good sign. I doused them in a little salt and lime and I used the verse sauce. They hit the spot. The tripas had a good sheen of fat and gristle but weren't crispy like I really wanted but they sufficed. The carnitas were ok. Same it's the buche and asada. As hard as it is to find tripas and then have the tripas be stellar it's almost as hard to find good asada these days but nonetheless it was a good meal. The counter person was the same waitress. She was very nice and attentive enough. I finished my food and gave my customary thank you and have great day and she have the same sentiment of welcome and you too. If you're I town and feeling tacos give Taqueria El Rey a try.

Delicious food, wonderful service, and homey atmosphere…read more *Dear Yelp, here are a few more sentences to meet your new "85 characters"requirement & for the people who enjoy reading reviews rather than getting outside & experiencing what this world has to offer. Remember what life was like before yelp? We just went places 'cause they looked cool, tried restaurants 'cause they looked nice or someone recommended it... but now, most of us go on Yelp. Why? To read novel length reviews from wannabe journalists? NO WAY! Most of us just want to look at the menu before hand, check out the prices, & know if we'll get food poisoning or not. Either way, you read this long rant, thanks, I hope I made you laugh :)

Went in the middle of a weekend afternoon, and surprisingly the place still has a few parties eating there, even though it was during the slow hours between lunch and dinner. Family style restaurant, small-ish seating area with booth seating on the sides and tables in the middle. Chips and salsa are complementary. Server recommended the Tres Maria plate that have skirt steak, chicken breast and bacon-wrapped shrimp. We got that and also the beef taquitos. Taquitos were tasty, has a little of a crisp on the outside, agreeable flavors. The Tres Marias plate was pretty big, and has beans and rice as well, and comes with tortillas to wrap up the ingredients. Tasted pretty decent. Before tip it was $45 which was reasonable for the food.

Glancing at the menu there weren't evident vegetarian options, so I asked our server who said their beans were vegetarian but rice was not. He also said he could make any of their lunch specials vegetarian and listed off a few things they had on hand. I went with butternut squash enchiladas, and we enjoyed our chips, salsa, and bean dip while we waited. When my plate arrived it was absolutely custom and gourmet. Beautiful and delicious. He also brought out a nopales salad to try which was so nice. We missed the lunch crowd and were the only ones in there, so that may have contributed to our VIP experience, but we were truly treated like family, and I can't wait to come back here again.

I came here for lunch, and it was a bit unassuming - there was nobody else eating. However, the…read morefood and service was way better than expected! The complimentary chips and salsa were really tasty - the chips were warm and crisp, the salsa was tasty, and they even gave refried beans as an extra dip. The refried beans were extremely good and worked better as a chip dip than I expected, and it made me think that other mexican restaurants should give beans as a chip dip! I got a 2 item combo - enchilada + burrito - and it was very good value too; much cheaper than some places in the Seattle area. It came with rice and a choice of beans, and I liked the beans they gave for dip so much I asked to get refried beans (normal side is pinto beans). Everything tasted great, and the benefit of being there when it was empty was that we got very attentive service. Something to note - the burrito was basically the same as the enchilada, except that it used a flour tortilla - I thought it would be more different but that's probably a me problem.

We were one of three tables and felt like the staff didn't really have eyes on us or the other tables. They came often enough but definitely on the slow side. It wasn't super clear to me what was gluten free since they had a lot of different sauces. My first few options didn't end up being gluten free, but I landed on spinach enchiladas. I found the enchiladas to be very odd. They had no cheese in them, just spinach mushroom onions. And barely any sauce. It was like a salad inside a tortilla. I wanted wayyy more cheese. My fiance got a burrito and it was half the size as the one at table next to us so he was bummed but said it was good. I would eat here in a pinch or if I was hungry coming back from the mountains, but I'm not rushing to go back.
