Just have to review this totally unassuming spot. Settled about 15 minutes from Hershey Park and beside route 81 is this little jewel of a Mexican restaurant. If you blink you'll pass it, but I would not recommend you do that! I skirted in about 30 minutes before closing on a weekday. No matter, the owner was ready and waiting to make whatever my taste buds desired! I was hungry, nudging the border of hangry so I picked a few menu items. The husband, wife duo immediately went to work. The next thing I heard was a sizzling grill and clanking spatulas. Within 15 minutes I was holding freshly made, muy delicioso, Mexican cuisine. You can dine in or dash. I took mine for the drive. Regardless, this is authentic and it is flavor filled nomnom. Oh and they have all the OG Mexican sodas in stock too! Highest recommendation! read more

Overpriced bad food. I got a quesadilla with a side of chips and guac for a total of $24 the price would be justified if the food was good but the quesadilla was soggy, the meat was dry, the chips needed salt, and the guac was more of a soup. 0/10 would recommend. read more

This place definitely earns its name: Taco KING. The prices are great! The food was so good and the portions are tremendous! Paired the delicious tacos with a Mexican Coke! Soo good!! It's a small intimate setting and the staff is friendly! I can't believe I didn't give this place a try sooner! I regret not trying a taco but the quesadillas were calling my name! I must go back for more! read more

Extremely good tacos. Best tacos I've had on the east coast so far. I was pleasantly surprised with the carne asada tacos

The food was so good. We showed up about 7:30 pm for take out on a Tuesday evening. They close at 8. The food was very good. She made everything fresh. Great flavors. Definitely worth trying after a day at Hersheypark! Thank you, the food was great. read more

Was really hoping this place would be good, but unfortunately I don't think I'll return. Here's the major points of the review: ~Taco Tuesday Special = 5 tacos for $10.99~ Ordered: 5 al pastor and 5 chicken on flour, + variety of 3 salsas (While they advertise horchata heavily, when I asked about it, they simply said "no"; unsure if they don't sell it at all or it was just out that day) Taco base (cilantro, onions, flour tortilla, limes on side): 1/5 - really dry tortillas, some cold, no flavor and could use fresher onions/cilantro. Limes were dry and not ripe enough at the same time; very little juice with little flavor. Al Pastor: 3/5 - Great spice on meat, but meat was SO dry, no extra kick with sauce either, really could have used it. Chicken: 1/5 - Really bad, the chicken was dry and entirely unseasoned. All the flavor was from drenching it in salsa and the veggies. DO NOT GET! Salsas: 4/5 - Chipotle salsa was great, I'd buy a bottle of it. Spice was at like a 6/10 but smoky. I'd characterize it as much more akin to the chipotle pepper than artificial taste. - Green (tomatillo) was also pretty good, it had a bigger kick than I expected at like 4/10 - Red (unsure) really spicy and tangy, wasn't a fan but I can definitely see how someone really looking for spice would love this. read more

THIS PLACE IS TRASH!!! Do not eat here. Horrible customer service and the food is disgusting. If you're looking for good authentic food go to Tres Hermanos on Cameron St. We will never eat here again. read more

Visited here on a Tuesday evening. It's a small place with about 8 tables or so. There's a little area where they sell Goya products as well as my favorite "green" hot sauce :) No one was eating in when I was there but there was a steady flow of take-out orders. I didn't see anyone take out the pizza. I tried three tacos: Carnitas, Al Pastor (pork w/pineapple) and steak & chorizo. My favorite, and the most flavorful was the carnitas. YUM!! Tacos are served topped with onion and cilantro. They give you two corn tortillas per meat so it was like eating six tacos instead of three. These were very good, authentic tacos. I haven't had tacos like these since I was in NYC! read more

Taco King - Carnitas, Al Pastor and chorizo and steak tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Best taco place that I have found within an hour of Harrisburg. And the pizza and stromboli are pretty good too! Recommend: salmon tacos, BBQ pizza, stromboli. What to expect: pretty much a hole- in- the- wall taco joint. Might be cold in the winter and warm in the summer. Prices are reasonable. Service is fast. Owner is friendly and you can tell he likes his job and takes pride in his food. read more

I have been here a number of times and I'm upping my review for the quality of the tacos. They're prettt yummy and fresh. Phew. The ground beef are more expensive and I don't really get why. They're just okay to me an actually pretty salty. But the steak ones are spot on. Pay the .25 for cheese cause it's good stuff. The only thing to me that knocks this down from a 5 are the lack of fountain soda (just a thing to me) aaannnd the guy working had his gloves on (plus!) to prepare food but then he took my money with those greasy gloves and then continued to make food with them. Take them off and take the money then put new ones on. Other than that a good place for an authentic taco fix read more

Taco King - Ground beef on bottom steak on top. They look the same but tasted very different - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Not good and tacos are way too small for the prices, Minimal items and the menu and in the food. I've tried it more than once, never have good food from this place read more

Downgrade to 2 stars. Food way to inconsistent and rude service. I was the first to review this place 5 stars when first opened and guess they cared more about customer's back then. The snarky comments they leave to constructive criticism shows their arrogance. Customers are why you exist. read more

Walked into an empty place. The woman behind the counter acted like she was upset to see a customer walk in. It was 30 min to closing so maybe she had a hot date?? Anyway, walked out and went to a better place. read more

Best tacos in town! Famous for their tacos. Alpastor tacos are really good, try them. It is a small place, like a hole in the wall type of place. But you could never go wrong with this place!! Amazing sauces to accompany the tacos. I don't like the fact that it is not 100!% there yet! Taste, service and value for the buck!! It could be better, but they also have so many customers I think it's hard for them to get to it. Customer service is friendly, they get very personal with you. They become like family!!! The owner is a good man, very hardworking and have seen this place grow in popularity with time! read more

Taco King - Pulled pork fries, non alcoholic sangria, chicken burrito, 5 tacos with all premium topping. - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Best taco around the area! On tuesdays, you can get any 5 tacos (the same) for $10.99, which was a steal for me. Overall, the place delivers tacos filled with delicious meat (and i mean, really filled. they do not skimp on meat!) with different kind of sauces you can try. There was plenty of seating when we went, which was around 1:30 on a Tuesday. We got french fries, 5 al pastor, a bottle of water, and 1 suadero for just $20. We were definitely full after that. And no, they aren't nice - the lady is kind of unfriendly - but you're here for the food not the service. read more

Tacos make the world a better place Tortas, tortas, put them in my face A world without a fajita would a disgrace And that's why I want burritos every place I eat taco king food like it's a race Speed is no matter, enjoy at any pace! Seriously, central pa is an ethnic food wasteland but taco king is a diamond in the rough. Especially if you know the difference between authentic Mexican food and Taco Bell/chipotle/el rodeo. Best hole in the wall in Harrisburg. read more

OMG! So glad I decided to have lunch here. I never thought I'd find great Mexican food in Pennsylvania. Totally made me feel like i was back in California. I enjoyed the asada tacos and a side of rice/beans. The place doesn't look appealing outside and it's not much better on the inside but who cares. The food is down right delicious. I'll be back and if you have never been here and enjoy great Mexican food........I highly suggest you stop in. read more

Miguel is the master. Authentic central Mexico home cooking. Amazing guacamole, spectacular taco sauces. He suggested the Al Pastor is his favorite and mine too. So fresh and delicious. Everything I try is great and everyone I take there is impressed. read more

Holy ballllssss they're so good. I recently lost my taste but these tacos brought me back to life ‍

By far one of the best places to get tacos in Harrisburg! My favorite and go to is the Al pastor taco platter!

Don't usually crave Mexican food, but when I do, it needs to find my belly! After a long day of moving from one part of the city to the other, we were famished. Checked my handy-dandy Yelp app and this place popped-up within just a couple of miles. Sold! Food: It was a no-brainer. All of us ordered tacos. I ordered a steak and a pork with the works. Yep, guacamole, cheese, cilantro, lettuce, tomato - all of it. My brother ordered a pork, a chorizo, a steak, and one other... Steak: Disappointing. The steak was over-cooked and chewy. Very tough, despite being butchered into small little pieces. Despite that, what saved the taco was undeniably fresh ingredients surrounding it. The double-layered, hot, supple, and tender corn tortilla filled to the max with fresh veggies and authentic flavors. Despite the disappointing steak, the rest of the taco attempted to make-up for it (3 / 5) Pork: This was the sheeeeeeee-it. First time I have ever had 'crispy' pork instead of the slow-braised kind. This was revolutionary. The pork had booming flavor, was tender, and the texture contrast of its crispiness was sublime. Couple that with all of the aforementioned items in the previous taco, and you have perfection: (5/5) The other tacos. I will not rate them, but my brother thought they were just 'ok'. He also is in full agreement though that the pork stole the show. Overall Food: 4 / 5 Service: You know that feeling you get when you can tell that someone genuinely cares about you and your opinions? That feeling was abundant here. The girl at the counter oozed a genuine customer service attitude that left me feeling privileged that I had the opportunity to dine in their establishment. Her friendliness, and service didn't stop at the counter though, it continued when she brought our food, and then later when she sincerely asked how our food was. You can taste and feel the love here. Service: 5 / 5 Atmosphere: This is a small joint that cranks out tacos. The atmosphere is authentic with Mexican products available for purchase, and the overall décor tastefully highlighting the ethnic roots of the restaurant. It wasn't super comfortable in terms of the seating, but the feel of the restaurant is where it was at. Atmosphere: 4 / 5 Price: 8 loaded tacos for $27. About 3.50 per taco. Eh...? The pork was well worth it, but the steak was probably not. Overall, I feel like everything is priced a little higher than I would like, and a little bit too high for this to become a regular stop for me. Price: 3 / 5 Final Thoughts: In terms of authentic flavors, this place does deliver. Their salsa verde was extremely good too! If you are in the area and looking for some solid tacos, I would recommend giving this a shot. Strong preference to the pork taco though - you will not be disappointed. read more

Taco King - They do pizza too! - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

I'm not a flowery writer like some of the people on Yelp, but I can honestly say the tacos and other foods here are some of the best I have ever had! The staff is always nice and pleasant. The restaurant is very clean and there is always festive music playing. They will even change the TV channel if they know you want to watch something. I live I the other side of the county and it is well worth the drive. Taco King rules all! read more

Great pork Carnita tacos. Stuffed as heck and topped with fresh cilantro, onions and lime. The corn tortillas were def. Fresh tasting though I'm very uncertain they were made in house. I recommend green sauce for pork or chicken. Totally yummy. Only gripe, Carnitas meat shout have a bit of a crispness to it, instead, this was very juicy. Tasty? Yes! I am still on the hunt for the perfect taco, but so far, I love taco king! read more

This place is as close as it gets to home - move over el sol. 2 dollar tacos with cilantro and onion - no frills. This is close to what real tacos taste like on the streets of CA I got the fried fish taco, carne asada, and carnitas. I loved the carnitas and their obviously fresh pico and homemade salsas!! Perfectly crisp carnitas on the outside but still juicy. I'll take 2 dollar carnitas here any time!! For the carne asada, I guess I was expecting more juicy. The meat was soft but a tad dry. Still good for 2 bucks The fried fish taco was a disappointing. I don't recommend it as it basically a fish stick in a taco with dressings to hide. Though it looks like their grilled fish is more legit and my fault for not trying that. Got too excited over fried fish tacos... I also had part of a beef tongue burrito which was delicious!!!!! So far, this is as close as it gets to home - almost like going to the mercado/taqueria to get some tacos and less of the "Mexican" restaurants (which Id never gone to seriously until moving here) that try to seem oh so authentic tasting. read more

Taco King - Left to right: fish taco, carne asada, carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

If you know what to order, the food here is very good. For example, upon my last visit I ordered 1 of every taco. They were good, but I now know which specific tacos are the absolute best (Shrimp and Tilapia). Additionally, I have tried their pizza which turned out to be disappointing. Sample the menu and find what you like. read more

Taco King - One of each Taco. - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

As I as a slight hankering for a taco we decided to stop here and give it a try. I've drive past here a number of times and have always been curious. Definitely pay attention to where you are at as you can drive past the place easily. I ordered three tacos. Cameron, Asada, & Pastor. All were served on soft corn tortillas. Freshly cooked product with generous portions. Topped with cilantro & diced white onions. They have 3 sauces at table to top with. Tomatillo, great flavor ; chipotle sauce , nice smokiness and rich in color, definitely has some kick to it. Lastly a Spicy salsa that will knock you back in your seat. Tacos were really good. Wife got the steak burrito . Loaded with rice, beans & pico. There were quite a few specials today but did not want to put my self in food coma. I will have to come back a few more times to up my star rating. By will definitely be back. read more

The food is great but the quality of customer service is in the mf toilet ‍. They are rude & they do rush you with your order. But the food kinda makes up for it. The last time I tried to go there it was about an hour before they were supposed to close & they had already locked the door. read more

This is my first time trying authentic Mexican street-style food. The atmosphere wasn't as tacky as I thought (and they even have the Mexican channel there too). I had the chicken tacos and they tasted really good. The only two things I would change is that the corn tortilla would've tasted better if it was fried or I prefer a soft flour tortilla, and I wished it was a bit more seasoned with the chicken. Other than that, I would like to try more from this place. read more

While I have only tried 4 different tacos, I love the place. Excellent Al Pastor tacos. No matter the taco you order, there is no shortage of meat on it! My friend is not a taco nut like me, she says the shrimp quesadilla was superb! read more

Excellent flavors, so fresh and well seasoned. I've been to Mexico 3 times and this place has definitely won the award for most Authentic flavors from me by far! Underrated! 5 stars, I will definitely be returning. Trying the combo next time for rice and beans too. The steak is also excellent, the chicken is super fresh. read more

Stopped during a road trip as a change of pace from fast food. The ground beef was greasy with no seasoning. The chicken was rubbery. The place didn't even smell like food let along Mexican food. I recommend Taco Bell over this. read more

I was blown away by the salmon tacos at this unassuming jack-of-all-trades Mexican joint nestled in a strip of run-down chop shops, dry cleaners and notary offices. Fish was fresh, largely portioned and stupid cheap. The sauces are as good as any place you'd find in LA or Texas. Coke in glass bottles, horchata, all that good stuff available. I'm curious and skeptical about the pizza, though. read more

Pros: fresh, authentic Mexican food, casual place Cons (for me): way way spicy hot, everything, even salsa and guacamole is full of finely chopped jalapenos or other hot peppers...diner beware A bit over priced for the quantity and quality read more

I was not having too much high hopes on this place since it is in the middle of nowhere and they also are a pizza joint, but I have to say is it really amazed me how good this place was. We ordered the lamb tacos, you get 3 for $10. My wife ordered some tacos and a soup. The lamb tacos were moist and not dry at all and they put a lot of sauce into it which I liked. You get chips and salsa while you wait too. The soup was good as well, I kind of forgot which one my wife got, but it was good. read more
