" Tacos de Canasta El Rey should be on everyone's list! Every time I go back, I'm reminded of authentic street tacos back in Guadalajara. The flavors are vibrant, and you can taste the love they put into their cooking. The atmosphere is fun and colorful. There might be a bit of a wait during busy hours, but the food is absolutely worth it. Plus, their agua de jamaica is a refreshing complement to the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ever since I discovered Tacos de Canasta El Rey, I've been obsessed! Their food is so authentic, it tastes like straight from the taco stands in Mexico. Personally, I think their tacos de birria are the best in town. Each taco is bursting with flavor, and they serve generous portions. I highly recommend bringing friends because they won't want to leave either. Perfect for casual hangouts or quick meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I visited for a quick dinner and absolutely loved the tacos de canasta! The flavors took us back to our last trip to Mexico. What I loved was how generous the portions were without breaking the bank. Service was polite, but we did have to wait a bit longer than we expected for our food. Still, it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best tacos ever! I went to Tacos de Canasta El Rey for the first time last week, and I am already planning to go back. The authenticity impressed me, and yes, the portions are generous too. I had their famous tacos dorados and they were simply delightful. Highly recommend this to anyone who loves Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos de Canasta El Rey delivers every time. Their variety of tacos keeps me coming back for more, especially the tortas ahogadas! Each taco is pretty filling, and I always leave satisfied. Though the atmosphere is casual, I love that it's clean and organized. Overall, this is the best place for authentic tacos in LA! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent, but not as good as I'd anticipated. I ordered a mixed plate with tacos dorados and something was lacking in the seasoning. The portion size was okay but felt a bit overpriced compared to what I usually pay for similar meals elsewhere. The service was also average; I didn't feel it was anything special. Overall a bit of a letdown. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is simply amazing! Their chicharrón tacos were bursting with flavor and the toppings were so fresh. I appreciated the cleanliness and quick service. The only downside was the parking situation; it can get a bit tricky. Nevertheless, the food made it all worth it. I highly recommend trying their jericalla for dessert—it was delightful!
