About a 2-2.5: El Rey del Taco is a small little tortilla factory that also carries some supermarket goods as well as a small little eatery. The menu offers breakfast platters, appetizers (such as salsa and chips), tacos, and other Mexican specialties. The hubs and I shared a Carne Asada as well as the Al Pastro tacos. Both came with 4 corn tortillas (not double-layered), topped with a generous amount of filling. The Carne Asada didn't really have much flavor, but I did appreciate the copious amount of sauteed veggies on top; I wasn't a fan of the sweeter salsa sauce that was on both); the Al Pastor had cubed pineapples and onions, also topped with a sweeter salsa sauce (I wasn't a fan of this dish, as the pork also was not flavorful). The hubs thought both tasted different from the typical tacos we've had in the past; I agree, but I wasn't a fan of the taste of either of them. The corn tortillas also weren't lightly fried or anything, and it didn't soak up any of the juices from the meats/sauce. I also read that they make their horchata in-house; this was extremely watered down and had an off-taste to it; this was just sipped and pushed off to the side. Service was super friendly, and once you're done, you just go up to the cashier to pay.
