The service was fast and friendly. Ordered a deluxe burrito and taco salad (both with chicken). Overall it was pretty avg Mexican food but the chicken was bland. The salsa bar was nice with a good selection of items. Overall this is a solid fast food Mexican spot. The restaurant is bright and clean. read more

Great food! Great price! We go there a lot! Large portions for price. A little bit of Mexico, with fast service too

Best service and food out of all of the Taco King locations in Anchorage. Always appreciate the friendly smiles and quick service.

Terrible Experience at Huffman Taco King, first of all the nachos i had, was a very small portion, maybe a layer of chips, and than the chips were burnt to a crisp, nasty! The chimichanga had a 2" bone in it! Could have choked on that. This place has gone down hill over the past few years, prices have gone sky high and the service? Well each time I put a tip in the bowl, they see it, but never a "thank you" or "gracias". unappreciative. When I called to complain about my order tonight, the guy was like "oh" "ok". Didn't even apologize. You think I'm going back here? read more

As soon as I walked in to this Taco King, I was immediately hit with a scent of 'clean!' Off to a great start! The employees were extremely hospitable and friendly. They actually seemed genuinely happy to have guests coming in. That was refreshing and appreciated! The guy in the kitchen even called everyone "amigo" as if we were friends visiting his home. Our food came out extremely fast, and man oh man... when I tell you how good this food was!! The meat was moist and packed full of flavor as well as the beans, rice, and salsa. Great restaurant!! read more

Living in ANC a decade ago, I often heard their ads on the radio-but I never went in (Taco King delivers--das right!). We went back for the Iditarod and decided to give it a try. And glad we did! Encouraged by another crazy and positive yelp review, we went for the plunge. Speedy food! Great decor! Wonderful food! Friendly staff! We will definitely make it a regular. read more

We needed a quick, fast and light lunch. This place in a little strip mall fit the bill perfectly. FINALLY - what I ordered was voted best of the table. Whenever I see a "sope" on a Mexican menu - I generally get it. This one was freshly fried - more crispy than the ones I usually get, and I topped it with Carnitas - which were surprisingly a little spicy. A perfect light lunch. Hubs got 2 soft tacos, a carne aside and a chili colorado I think. But what I thought looked delicious was the gringo tacos someone else ordered. (just basic taco bell style but better shells) The menu above the counter is a little scattered and a bit difficult to navigate, everyone wondered where the "sope" was listed on the menu - Hint, it is on the far right! Service was fast and efficient. Good selection of fountain sodas. read more

Want a local taco shop that's a QSR? Forget Chipotle! This has been my all time favorite local spot for quick and delicious Mexican food. I'm sure rice and beans taste the same everywhere else, but not for me. They really hit the spot for me, I don't know why, but down other places in the lower 48s just don't taste right. The staff are friendly and the service is fast. It's like once you fill up your drink and get your salsas, bam! It's ready. They have a salsa bar to meet all needs. They have numerous locations throughout the Anc. Don't forget to try the fried ice cream! Overall, fast and delicious Mexican food, for a decent price in AK. read more

Food is fast and delicious! There is no service, they are just making the delicious food. The dining room is what it is, a place to eat. It is very colorful, though! They are a bit overpriced. read more

These guys work super hard. First time trying this location. They are super friendly. And the place is clean. And smells super good right when you walk in. I ordered a lot so we can have leftovers. Went home and had a super yummy meal. Thanks guys! read more

This is simply a great Mexican restaurant. We stopped by the other day after having not been here for a while. And wow, were we missing out. I opted for the carnitas special while the SO got two cheese enchiladas. Quick sidebar: one thing that should be noted is just how awesome their salsa bar is. The pico de gallo is arguably the greatest choice due to its simplicity. Don't skip out on the pickled jalapenos though. While a bit on the lean side, the carnitas packed a ton of flavor. Accented with a helping of raw onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime, it's easy to see why Mexican food is one of the world's greatest cuisines. It certainly helps that the majority of these dishes are laden with cheese. With the nachos, it's clear they freshly fry their own chips. And I cannot emphasize enough just how richly flavorful everything was. I'm definitely throwing this up on my list of favorite places to eat in Anchorage (the list is very small). read more

Authentic! Delicious! Reasonable prices, and great service. Staff is always friendly and it's clean with plenty of seating. It's a comfy place to grab lunch and definitely dinner! My favorite and only Mexican cuisine I get for for extremely fast service. If I could give six stars I would. I highly recommend! read more

In my opinion the best and fastest Mexican food I've had. The steak tacos are to die for and the rest of the menu you can taste the authenticity in every bite. read more

Just as delicious as the other two Taco kings in town. They were super packed which is always a good sign and they had a great flow to get out the food fast. If you eat in they will bring the food to you which is awesome. We ordered a deluxe burrito, chimichanga and two tacos and they were the best. I love the chicken burritos and get it every time I come. The chimichanga outer shell was so crispy and tasty I wish I could eat (and have room for) both the burrito and chimichanga. My son has never had fried ice cream and we've never tried the fried tortilla with cinnamon sugar and honey so I ordered both. They were so delicious we will be back to have all of the same things very soon. Not bad on prices too, about $40 for 3 orders and two desserts. We will be back for sure very soon, it was also a plus the staff was so friendly and happy. Always a good sign when the cooks/cashiers are happy. read more

Good food, super fast service and very causal atmosphere makes for a convenient place for lunch or dinner for all ages of family.

I am a regular customer and have never been disappointed with an order. Good always comes out hot, fresh and delicious!!

Me and my cousin, as well as all of my friends have made it a tradition to always go straight to this taco king and order food for there, after a snowboarding trip, or after any outdoor venture, their food hits every. Single. Time. I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and they whip up a delicious, filling meal in only a couple minutes, you can't beat that. There has been a couple times when I thought the guy on register looked angry at me not gonna lie, but I swear, even if I was getting threats to my family, I'd still be heavily enjoying the three piece shrimp tacos with warm rice and beans I almost always order now. The speed of the service as I mentioned is very impressive, and probably some of the best food of this quality you can get with how fast it's finished, very commendable. Lastly, the restaurant is very homey, nice decor for where it's located, and I'm always comfortable eating there. read more

Always like Taco King on Huffman. It's always good and they've got a great team!! Everything is good! We had street tacos and the steak taco salad with guacamole. read more

Great, authentic Mexican food that doesn't take forever to make and is reasonably priced. They are one of the very few places that puts enough cheese on their food! The side of beans and rice goes well with everything and I totally recommend it the next time you want Mexican food! read more

This is my family's once a week favorite. The restaurant is great for kids, it's usually clean and tidy. My husband generally gets the steak tacos and I generally get the beef burrito deluxe. It's fast, it's decent and the sauces are excellent. read more

I have been to Taco King many times. I usually order a couple beef gringo taco's with rice and beans, but have tried several things from the menu. Overall I think Taco King has decent, fast, Mexican food for the price. I mean its not really a sit down dinner kindof place, more like fast food Mexican. The ingredients always seem fresh when I order, I usually get a side of guacamole and extra cilantro. Their guac is homemade and really good, and I like the variety of salsa's and condiments that they have to dress up your order with (the pico de gallo rocks!.) I've been to a lot of Mexican restaurants in town, spent much more to eat then I normally do at Taco King, and gotten food that wasn't near as good. If your looking for a quick meal thats tasty, fills the space, and won't break the bank in terms of cost try Taco King. You won't be disappointed. read more

I haven't been more sick in the past 10 years than after a meal here earlier this week. While visiting friends in Anchorage, my wife & I enjoyed a number of fine meals, as well as several value restaurants, and this happened to be the last meal of our 7 day trip. While my local friends have eaten here '1000s' of times without incident, my one time was an epicly nauseating failure. My wife and I both ordered carne asada- mine was a burrito, hers was a taco plate. Going down, the food tasted just ok (but not bad)- perhaps 2-2.5 stars, but quite poor in comparison to my 'regular' Mexican options back home in SF. The morning after was a different story, and while I will spare you the gory details, I will simply say that I was extremely ill, my wife less ill, and my friends who did NOT have carne asada were fine. Needless to say, I will NEVER return...and you should do so at your own risk. read more

Careful when you order take out, they give you really small portions. I love them beans and cheese, and easy disappointed by the portion wh2n arrived home to eat. February 01, 2020 read more

Pretty much the best Mexican in terms if food for the price. I have a lot of the different items and it's all good. It's interesting because I have a bad review for Burrito King on 36th and A st and it's the same local franchise. My friend goes to that one and he swears it's top notch for lunch. I like the one on Huffman and the original Taco King on N. Lights and A st...I think it's N lights. I go mainly for dinner so maybe it's different. But typically you can't go wrong. Highly recommend! read more

There is authentic mexican food here, but Im sure it is more tasty in Mexico. Most of the dishes I have had since coming here I could make myself at home... Taco salad, cheese quesadillas, etc. So if you want something you cant make at home, order cow stomach! Yep, they have it (my dad ordered it). I will agree it has the atmosphere of a high school cafeteria. This place to to small for the business it gets, the line has to go right through the eating area. When you are done with your plates and cups, they have a bin set our for you to put them in... like I said previously- real cafateria-ish. Over all a pretty decent place. Bathrooms are out the door, down the hallway and to your right. Not very clean. read more

Good, Consistent Mexican food for a descent price. You walk in to this place and it's like a flash back to the Taco Loco's of the late 80's. Decor aside the place is always pretty clean, the food is usually pretty fast and the quantities are good and the taste is about as authentic as you can get this far north. Staff is always friendly enough. I really like the halibut tacos they have had the last couple if times we have been there during Lent. Sell Beer and update the decor and I would give them a 5. read more

Thanks for maintaining great food and friendly service! This is one of the few meal choices everyone in the family can agree on! Service is always pretty quick! read more

Taco King always has great food an quick service. They have the best tortas!!.. fresh ingredients and fresh bread, so yum!.. Prices aren't bad either for the great food you get. They also have daily specials that are good too. read more

I am going to go out on a limb here, but taco king has the best mexican in alaska, or at least the closest to tasting like mexican. Secondly they are cheap, a combo their is like 5 or 6 bucks. Also it is real convenient for everybody that lives on the south side of anchorage, because they don't have to drive all the way in town. So if you are ever struggling to eat this is the place for you. read more

This isn't bad but it sure isn't good. No spice or flavor. Pleasant staff and quick service.

Favorite restaurant in Anchorage! Quick, affordable, and delicious! Even though they've made some mistakes on my orders in the past I would definitely recommend giving them a second try. Their nachos are my favorite! read more

This is where it's at. Once in a while I'll head over here with friends for some real good and filling enchiladas. The staff members are pretty hilarious too. read more

Some of the best texmex I've ever had. It wouldn't go so far as to call it mexican food. Carlos's is more of a mexican place if your in the mood for authenticity. That being said the food at Taco King is cheap and really delicious. The service is usually good and fast. The prices are very reasonable. $7-9 bucks is usually the most you'll spend per person. Typically it is a busy joint and you'll run into someone you know. The one gripe I have is that the parking lot is rather small and often full. read more

Taco King - Mexican Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Would be nice if the guy on the phone taking orders actually wrote down what was being ordered, instead of just saying uh huh, uh huh. Asked for extra, extra, extra pico on the side- got none at all. Told them to tell the delivery driver we're working on the back side of the house, driver had no idea. This has happened several times. If you don't care about my order, I no longer care to order food from you read more

Got to Taco King ten minutes before closing and we were all so hungry!!! We ordered three halibut taco meals and a steak burrito... it was so delicious!!! Thank you for allowing us to stay and enjoy our food! I live in South Dakota so halibut tacos are not available in our area! When I come back I will be coming back! read more

EXTERIOR: 3/5 (part of a popular strip mall on the southside. the strip mall also includes subway, a yogurt shop, a dry cleaner/tailor shop, etc. INTERIOR: 2.5/5 (it's by no means a super nice or bistro-like place, but it's also not the worst. It is a small space, and they offer booths or a few tables. They could definitely use a renovation to spruce it up. They do keep it clean though, and frequently wipe down tables after every customer leaves, though just with a rag, not with a cleaner or disinfectant) CUSTOMER SERVICE: 5/5 (note, every worker speaks Spanish and English. there are annoying customers--usually the local high schoolers or middle schoolers--who attempt to speak in broken Spanish to humor themselves. I always feel embarrassed for them. and they hold up the line) CLEANLINESS: 4/5 (their bathrooms are shared with a facility next door, but it is usually kept extremely clean. they also wipe down their booths frequently after customers leave with a cloth, but I'd prefer if they used disinfectant or Clorox every time). QUALITY OF FOOD: 3.5-4/5 TASTE OF FOOD: 5/5 ---------- **note: I rate each eatery relative amongst its type/range in THAT city. So, no, I'm not rating this restaurant compared to Crow's Nest or some Michelin-star restaurant. I rate it and analyze it's component qualities (above) from 1-5 compared to other restaurants with similar food type, aura, and price range. I ADORE this Mexican restaurant. I've had almost everything off the menu (haven't tried the soups). They make VERY authentic Mexican food. I like most their entrees (except for the enchiladas), all the desserts, the pico de gallo (it's free, all their sauces and "condiments" are), and horchata!! I LOVE horchata (a delicious and authentic soy-based Mexican drink). I've brought friends from California and Chicago here, and they all loved it as well. To top it off, they do have free wifi, yay! My Hispanic friend sometimes makes Mexican tacos for us; they're even better here! I'm a huge fan of their special tacos. I've tried it with fish, asada (steak), and lengua (tongue). They're all very good and tender renditions. I also like their carne asada. Their desserts and sides are TO DIE for. My favorite desserts are the bunuelos (sweet baked nacho dessert, with honey and cinnamon) and the fried ice cream (ice cream "breaded" with corn flakes, dipped in honey, and flash-fried). I love the serve-yourself sides, specifically their pico de gallo! It's very fresh, and I love I can get as much as I want. Also, this place is ok-priced. You can get a meal for around $14 or just the basics (no beans or rice) for around $9-11. Horchata is around $3. Desserts are around $3-4/each. I WOULD give 5 stars, but I feel there is slight room for improvement. - First, their "beef" enchiladas are not good. I've heard their chicken enchiladas are better than their beef, but they use terrible ground beef... it's not very good ground beef either. They're tiny, tiny round circles. Their beef enchilada is just meh, but I feel enchiladas are such a hallmark amongst customers, that it SHOULD be just as good as all their other food! - Second, this is a smaller gripe, but I feel their carne asada could be more tender. It's not completely hard, just not very tender. It's about medium. The carne asada costs about $14, so I'm not expecting like a filet mignon lol. But it's not like the carne asada is $6, either. I think they could use meat tenderizer before or while they marinade/etc. In the future, this place would be fantastic if it expanded and/or renovated with a "newer" look and acquired more modern-looking booths and seating. They need to expand/lengthen their condiments bar, as it's tiny, in a corner, and customers sometimes form a long line there (i.e. for sour cream, salsa, salsa verde, pico de gallo, peppers, etc). I also wouldn't mind paying more if they upgraded their carne asada and ground beef quality. read more

Some of the Very Best Mexican food around. The Carne Asada dinner is Awesome.

A great fast place to sit down and have a delicious meal. I recommend the steak king burrito
