How a burrito should always look
David Y.

Good tacos and burritos. Not the best or anywhere close to being the best taco truck I've ever tried, but for Sacramento standards, this place is good. I'm from LA, so it's hard for me to get excited after taking a bite of a taco or a burrito. El Reys doesn't get me excited but at the very least, it reminds me of home because they do it right. And with that, they will remain my only go-to taco truck in Sacramento until proven otherwise. Give em a try and lmk what you think!

Best tacos I've tried up north so far!!! It's a bit difficult finding a bomb taco spot coming from Stockton.. however this taco truck is def comparable and in our top lists now.

This is the place...

Went to pick up burritos and tacos for the family's dinner tonight. Most of us had Burritos Al Pastor, while others of us had carnitas tacos. The food was very good. The staff was friendly, and the location is pretty convenient. It seems a little pricey, but I will say that hours after eating the burrito I'm still full! I'm sure I'll be back!

Carne asada quesadilla
Candace C.

Wanted a "taco truck" burrito, a nostalgic, childhood favorite as opposed to a plated burrito with all the fixings. Found Tacos El Rey compliments of Yelp. I arrived and there was no wait. Decided on the carnitas burritos for my hubby and I, this visit. The young man who took my order was very nice and answered my questions. Order was ready within minutes and the "burrito bag" was awfully heavy; again reminiscent of childhood, huge burritos. Burrito was nice and hot, but single noted in flavor. We've had the quesadilla and tacos in the last which were good. Will try nachos next time. Burrito has great potential, but couldn't tell one ingredient (rice, cheese, carnitas, etc) from the other.

Quesobirria

First time here, I ordered 2 quesobirrias for $8.50 total. Super flavorful and quick service. I'll definitely be back!

Carne asada tacos - bomb but LACK OF CILANTRO, ONION & SMALL LIME NOT ENOUGH FOR THREE TACOS.
Mabel P.

First time customer & had some decent tacos for a decent price. Also got our order quick, only 2 people ahead of us. I am Hispanic so these were pretty decent, I got 3 tacos de carne asada & 1 birria taco. My sister came with me & she ordered 2 carne asada & 1 pastor but she got 3 carne asada don't know if that was an error from their end because there was no difference in taste or looks in tacos either. Must say lack of cilantro, onions on my tacos and only had 1 tiny thin lime for my 4 tacos very greedy on condiments in general. (LOOK AT PICTURE) Had to cut up limes when I got home & some more onion to add to my tacos. I got Mild salsa on my tacos which was very good, next time I will try their hot salsa. ALERT - That one Birria Taco me & my sister shared we wanted to try it & so glad we only got one because after I ate my carne asada tacos I felt fine but after taking 2 bites of my birria taco my stomach started TURNINGGG. My sister ate her carne asada tacos first too & then once she took ONE bite of birria taco her stomach started TURNING quickly too. It felt like we were both having really BAD stomach cramps soooo glad I had Alka Selzer those pains were PAINFUL. Not sure what happened with that birria taco if they have had that meat for a while or what but definitely won't ever get those again warning y'all about those be careful.

Asada taco and birria tacos
Rachel R.

Delicious tacos! They didn't even make it out of the parking lot. The meat was flavorful and fresh. It was 11:50 on a Saturday. There was no line and the service was fast. I can't wait to try more of their food.

A friend brought me here and I confirmed this is true homemade Mexican food to the palate. I felt I got brought back in time with the beans and queso Cotija cheese sprinkled over them like I was back at my Abuelita's house. The rice and beans are like at family holiday parties. The Chile Relleno, Barbacoa and Jamaica drink were delicious! I found a new hole in the wall spot for my fam and anyone visiting me from San Diego. The service is exceptional Javier and Rocio are excellent Hosts and are open to suggestions or compliments! I did compliment! Top Tier for me! No more wanna be Mexican spots that add mango to your tacos or try to cater to other groups with non-authentic ingredients of our Mexican Art of Culinary Excellence. Any bad reviews are from people who do not know real Mexican Food or are trying to change authenticity or remove its flavor. For that hit up Del Taco or Taco Bell. Jalisco Restaurant is it! Not salty, no canned ingredients, fresh out scratch and confirmed by the owners! Thank you Jalisco Authentic Restaurant, you gave me Hope for the Sacramento area!

Upon the first bite, I knew I had been blessed by the gods of breakfast. The sausage was savory and wickedly succulent, the eggs most tender, and the cheese didst melt betwixt the warm folds of the tortilla with such shameless, wanton abandon that I feared I might swoon right there upon the pavement. Never hath a breakfast so thoroughly awakened my senses. I devoured that magnificent cylindrical feast with the fervor of a starving knight who hath finally found the object of his deepest desires. Each bite was more indulgent than the last, and with every luscious mouthful, I whispered unto myself, "Good Lord, what hast thou wrought? And why do I desire thee so?" By the time I reached the final morsel, I was no longer a man. I was but a trembling, satisfied servant, utterly conquered by the burrito and yearning for another encounter. 10/10. Wouldst absolutely allow this burrito to seduce me, ruin my life, and leave me begging for seconds again.

Be careful turning into the driveway, as some other cars may drive up to the ATM on the right, stopping perpendicular to the ATM (rather than parallel close to the ATM) and block your path going forward. This happened when I drove in, driver blocking traffic while his passenger used the ATM. I managed to maneuver around the blocking car and find parking around the side of the building. This location seemed consistently busy, as there was a steady line when I arrived and continued while I was eating here. But the line moves at a good pace so the wait is not very long. The people working behind the counter are great. They really pile on the food here. And they're also more generous with the scoop of guacamole. It's way more than at any of the Chipotle locations in the bay area. Can we just clone the workers here and have them staff the bay area stores? You're definitely getting your money's worth. They mostly have take out orders here. There is a little bit of seating inside but not a whole lot. A few small tables, one high top table for 2, and one larger round booth for 3 or 4 people. There are 2 restrooms at this location. The restroom doors are on the left side as you walk in. It requires a code to unlock, which can be found on your receipt. Steak bowl ($12.50) with guacamole ($2.95). Barbacoa bowl ($12.50) with guacamole ($2.95)

I ordered a burrito with the standard fillings: protein, brown rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and salsa/pico de gallo. What I received was essentially a small tortilla filled with sofritas, rice, and beans. No guacamole. No sour cream. No cheese. No salsa/pico. The burrito was also shockingly small for $14.65. I was expecting something much larger and filling, especially given Chipotle's reputation for big burritos. Instead, it was basically a regular-sized burrito with most of the standard ingredients completely missing. My husband also ordered a burrito bowl and had the same problem: the standard ingredients that should have been included were missing. The extra chicken he paid nearly $7 for was also an incredibly small portion. And the little container of sauce that came with the bowl wasn't even half full. The only thing that seemed reasonably sized for the price was the burrito bowl itself. This wasn't just a matter of portions being smaller than I expected. We paid for meals that were missing multiple standard ingredients that should have been included. If you're ordering through Grubhub, I would strongly recommend checking your order very carefully before you start eating it and taking pictures if anything is missing. Extremely disappointing, especially for the prices Chipotle is charging. I will never patronize them again.
