" El Rey del Taco is a diamond in the rough! My experience there was nothing short of excellent. I ordered the enchiladas and they came out piping hot and smothered in a rich mole sauce that was bursting with flavor. I noticed that a lot of love goes into their food preparation, which is something rare to find. Although the waitstaff were a little overwhelmed, they remained friendly and attentive throughout my meal. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, El Rey del Taco delivers delicious food with a nice atmosphere! I've been here a few times, and every time the fish tacos never disappoint. The flavors are authentic, and everything tastes fresh. The only downside I faced was needing to wait longer than expected on a particularly busy night. Nonetheless, I'll return because the food is fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" When you want authentic Mexican food in Montreal, you have to try El Rey del Taco! Their tacos al pastor are to die for and remind me of my adventures in Mexico. They also have an amazing selection of salsas that elevate each dish. However, I did find the service a bit lacking at times, especially during rush hours. Despite that, the food is worth every bite and penny. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

The decor gave me nice vibes, and the service was decent but could use a little improvement. Overall, I would recommend El Rey del Taco for anyone craving authentic Mexican dishes!
