Reviews For El Rey Taqueria

Went in for lunch on a Friday and the wait was honestly really quick, for a busy day. Got the Al Pastor Tacos, Mexican Rice and some Horchata and everything was fresh, and really hot. Highly recommend and will be back! Honestly some of the best Horchata I’ve had around Houston.

It was very busy, but I applaud the quick service that was given. Food came out quick and was very tasty. This location on washington is by far the best one I eaten at. Keep up the good service!

Professional, and friendly staff. They are clean and handle your food with care by taking extra measures to wrap and seal it properly. I ordered delivery recently and was more than satisfied. I had all condiments and my precise directions were followed. Thank you for always being on point, delivering great service, and taking safety measures with the handling of the food. Great JOB

great Cuban and Mexican food. I have been to all locations and never disappointed. Tortas and plates. The vegan taco is excellent. Their coffee and flan is a must. My carnivore friends rave about the rotisserie chicken. Everything always tastes fresh

The roasted chicken and shrimp salad was delicious, with a great combination of flavors and generous portions. However, the dining area is rather small and can become quite crowded, making it more suitable for takeout orders. The service was satisfactory. However, it would be beneficial if the staff had a more comprehensive understanding of the menu items.

Delicious food and so many menu options. I typically get tacos and the power bowl with beef. Taco number 21 is delicious and has platano crema and beans

Close to my work and I go here sometimes I usually get the half chicken but this time I tried the fajita torta. They have a new way of doing it now and it was real good! I got it at the drive thru and had no problems. The drive thru here is weird if it gets backed up it will overflow onto Shepherd. If this happens just pass and enter on Washington and park.

Great spot for tacos and tortas. The new rotisserie chicken garlic torta was great (especially with added fresh jalapenos). The service was fast and friendly. The dining area was clean and the bathrooms were extremely clean which is unusual for restaurants these days. Overall great experience.
