    We noticed a new restaurant pop up in our area so of course we had to stop by to check it out. Tacos El Rey is located in a small shopping center with plenty of parking available. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant- it's very authentic. You will be greeted with Mexican music and complimentary chips and salsa. You must try the aguas frescas! We ordered horchata (cinnamon-rice) and jamaica (hibiscus) agua fresca. They were both very refreshing. The menu is huge with lots of options and great prices. We ordered the tricolor carne asada burrito ($10), sopes ($6), and churros and ice cream ($5). Our server was quick and attentive- she even offered to refill our chips basket. It's safe to say Tacos El Rey has earned a spot in our regular dining circuit.

    Service was great, waitress was really sweet! Food was amazing! Gonna be my new go-to taco place.

    Plastic

    plastic in my food ‍ i don't ever write reviews & hate to be that guy but i ordered the burrito & the first bite i took i felt something strange hit the back of my throat, spit out the food & noticed this big piece of plastic that was in there, like how do you not notice this when u prep the meal?

The music was a vibe and the outside patio looks so darling. The service was quick and friendly. Even though my husband always wants spicier, the home made salsas were so flavorful. Delicious warm chips and more than one Mexican beer on tap. I'm a sucker for a Dos Equis. We ordered the Enchiladas Tri and it was fabulous, we will be back for those birria tacos!

Not crowded at all, though a few persons arrived after us. Love all the natural light. Karla seated us and brought our drink orders - soda and tea ($4.15 ea) - promptly, and some tasty salsa and chips. We asked for a minute to review the menu since it was our first visit. From here it just missed the mark. Server was on the phone to the side of the bar so we waited, and waited, for our order to be taken. Chips and salsa ran dry, as did my husband's soda. We ordered the Special Texas Plate ($16.63) - beef burrito, enchilada and chalupa - and a side Shredded Chicken Enchilada ($5.19). Food came out pretty quickly, and we were offered more chips, which we declined. I wish I had taken a picture. The burrito and enchiladas were swimming in red sauce. It really took away from the taste of the food. The chalupa was very tasty, with the guac topping. Quantities were perfect for the 2 of us to share. Check out went quickly, once we got her attention. While location is great for us, and I love the interior, the pricing is WAY off for the quality/quantity of the food, and service is lacking. Check that box.

Also got some pupusas which we ate 4 days later and they were still awesome. The avocado/jalapeño salsa they give you on the side is great. Literally the only thing I thought was weird was they gave me some salsa in a baggie....but I get it, small restaurant, not a lot of storage for multiple sizes of containers. They're doing some great stuff out of this tiny place. Go and get a Baleada.

    This little taco stand in Harvey is real deal divey, blink-and-you'll-miss-it... and honestly,…read morethat's usually where the good food be at. I pass this place all the time but never stopped. Today I wanted something different and inexpensive. I checked Yelp, saw it was right there, and had to talk myself into it because I eat tacos ALL the time... like I'm lowkey taco'd out. But something about authentic tacos on corn from a lil shack like this? They hit different. So I went with my move. I looked at the menu and saw tongue tacos... and that sold me Mind you, I NEVER had tongue before. But I said I wanted something different, so let's stand on that. Pulled up around lunch--about 3 people waiting. There's an option to call ahead too. I waited a few minutes, but they acknowledged me quick, and you could tell they were working, so I wasn't tripping. Ordered 3 tacos: tongue (of course), shredded beef, and pork. Threw in pupusas because why not--it's been years. And a melon juice. Total was about $29, got my number, waited maybe 8-10 minutes. When they handed me the bag... it had a little weight on it I already knew. I ate in my car since there's no real inside seating, and started with the pork taco. Now listen... pork tacos can be DRY. I don't really order them for that reason. But THIS one?? Juicyyyyy. Like juices-on-my-shirt type juicy (I'm too grown for that ). Flavor was there, shredded perfect--they changed my whole outlook on pork tacos. Then I tasted the other two because they looked similar. First one ended up being the tongue... and babyyyy. Tender. Soft. It reminded me of goat--real rich and flavorful. I can't even believe I tried it, let alone LIKED it. I'm officially sold. The beef was good too, but after that tongue taco? It was hard to compete, I'm not even gonna lie. That red salsa? Flavorful with a kick. I love spice... but spice don't always love me back Still worth it. The melon juice started off a little grainy (you can tell it's real fruit), but once it settled, it smoothed out. Super refreshing. Now them pupusas... I did NOT expect two. That's why the bag felt like that Stuffed with meat and cheese, crispy on the outside, soft inside. Came with the pickled cabbage/carrot mix and that tomato-based sauce--everything worked together. Not spicy, just balanced. Only thing I'd note--no prices listed, but for everything I got (plus that big 32oz drink), it was honestly worth it.

We were sat at a table that was very wobbly - I kept worrying my water cup was going to spill. Server brought menus. I was told they did not have lengua or tripas today. So I ordered the barbacoa tacos. My husband ordered the birria burrito and we got loaded fries with al pastor. Server brought out his beer, but didn't bring a bottle opener. Then she brought out chips and salsa bottles, but no dish to put the salsa in. The wine opener and menus stayed on the table the whole time until I handed them back to her when the food arrived. She also did not bring napkins so we grabbed the paper towel roll off of the bar counter top. She did tell us at the end while we were cashing out that she is new. The food itself was really good! I thought the tacos were excellent- the barbacoa was juicy and seasoned well - perfect little street tacos! My husband enjoyed his burrito- it was solid. I ate the other half for dinner later. The loaded fries were ok. The al pastor meat was the best part. We were already full so ate about half the fries. Overall not a horrible experience because the food was very good. Casual dive atmosphere - 2 tvs were on but were. It working and the screen was all pixelated.

Large waiting area to stand and wait near the hostess station. Also has a bar area which looks like first come, first serve. We ordered drinks while we waited and hung out in the lobby area. Finally we were sat. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought right away. We Ordered drinks and the chorizo queso, which came fairly quickly. The queso is HOT, bubbling in a volcanic rock molcajete. Sooo good. Strongly suggest this item! I ordered the Tacos Tijuana (lengua). My husband ordered grilled fish tacos and an ala carte cheese quesadilla. The food was great. Lengua was a little dry- I know it's lean but it was not as juicy and gamey as I like. No other complaints except the guacamole that came with my tacos tasted artificial or "off". It also stayed very green throughout the meal which tells me there is either a lot of lemon or it is premade with something to make it not oxidate like fresh avocados. It was just not great guacamole. The frijoles charro on the other hand were excellent! Lots of flavor, pork, cooked nicely and seasoned well. I could eat that by itself. I will for sure be back.
