    A Something Burrito...
    Jeff B.

    Dang... This would be the first less than stellar Mex experience I've had in ML in decades. Had an early dinner with my fellas, and it was as memorable as eating Mex in Northern Manitoba. However, I will say that our hostess/server, was a joy in friendliness, and made us gringo gorillas feel welcomed and cared for. She was also an absolute smoke-show of my age, and my guys had to remind me that I was happily married to their momma. Regardless, my Milanesa Torta was a shoe leather sandwich, and the burritos my guys ordered were average at best, after a taste test by moi. Out of respect for our beautiful hostess, I will say no more...

    Jalisco Tacos

    I ordered the Jalisco tacos, it say that this tacos are made with steak, I thought it will be some kind of clean meat, good quality some how, but no, it was Diezmillo, this is a very cheap carne, I am not saying that is not good, just saying that the menu don't say on this specific meal that is Diezmillo, but in other meals it does. Given an advice to the restaurant, if you are going to use diezmillo on tacos at least chop the meat smaller so is not hard to chew, I took all the meat out off my tacos and sadly I end up having frijoles tacos, like they say "Para frijoles en mi Casa" Not coming back.

    Street Tacos

    Was in Moses Lake for a baseball game, and I know I can get some great Mexican food when I am in town. Wanted to try a new place and Tacos El Rey was recommended by my fellow yelpers. Man....is this place good. The place is clean and tidy, the staff was very friendly. Easy parking, but a little tight if you have big truck. My man crush and I were wanting something light before we hit the road back home - so we ordered the street tacos. For $1.89 a piece, I could have eaten 20! We ordered the carne asada and pollo, both were so fresh and flavorful. We washed them down with a couple of Dos XX. I do need to mention the salsa....a little on the watery side, but man oh man was it good. The salsa has a little heat, but it was perfect for us. I wish we had a place like this in N Idaho, so hard to find good authentic Mexican food like this.

    Tacos!

    Favorite place to eat, the hot sauce and salsa are hot and amazing! The food is always perfect, and the service has been fast, good price, friendly. Coming weekly.

    Carne Asada tacos, chips n guac and a modelo
    Peter K.

    Food was awesome, prices were low and service was friendly! Had carne asada tacos, chips and guacamole and a nice cold modelo. Nothing I would've changed and am very happy I stopped in!

    Very excited to rip into this, disappointment was soon to follow

    I really don't know how this place has such a high rating while the food is cheap it is not even edible. As usual when let down by Yelp I find most high rated reviews are by new yelpers that may or may not be fake reviews and the business is a advertiser and or offers specials on Yelp weird huh. I ordered the lunch special Carne Asada. The pleasant server quickly brought me my lunch. The. Carne Asada was some strange cut of meat that I have never seen before and I have eaten a lot of Carne Asada it was very fatty and had lots of gristle in it. I was unable to eat it as it had a weird flavor almost as the meat was bad. I am just hoping I don't get sick from that. The rice and beans were very blah but the salsa that came with the chips was very good and the service was pleasant. I did not eat my lunch but a bite of meat and some chips. I am still hungry so I have to find somewhere else to buy another lunch.

    An old friend here in Moses Lake. We always stopped here on trips to Seattle, and then they opened…read morea second location in our little town of Cheney, so visits have been few since then. Well, nothing's changed in decades. Still friendly, clean, quick, with great gringo Mex. It's also easily accessible from the interstate, and always super-busy. As usual, we got wicked full, and brought a ton back to our RV, haha. Glad to pay them another dinner visit...

    I don't have much in the way for bookmarks for Moses Lake and hardly any restaurants for the city…read morebut I did have El Rodeo in my list to try. I got one of their combinations on their menu. A cheese enchilada and bean tostada as well as rice and beans. For one it's a bit bean heavy since the tostada is a bean one and the you also have refried beans on the side. Perhaps to reduce that the tostada should be a guacamole tostada. The food isn't all that spicy. In fact it's a bit on the bland side but despite that I nearly finished my entire combination plate so I must have been hungry and the food wasn't all that bad. But it wasn't the most memorable Mexican meal I had but I will freely admit I am a serious snob when it comes to Mexican food. So would I come back? Well, Moses Lake is still largely unexplored by me and the couple of stops I made I passed by a lot of different restaurants so I'd say "never say never" but it isn't a major priority to come back but in a pinch I wouldn't rule out on a return either. I just was looking for something spicier and perhaps more authentic.
