" What a hidden gem! I recently visited Taqueria El Rey and it blew my mind how authentic the food was. The al pastor tacos were juicy and perfectly seasoned, reminiscent of the ones I had while traveling through Mexico. Although the staff seemed a bit rushed, they were still very attentive. The highlight of my meal was definitely the house-made salsa with just the right amount of heat! I'll be returning soon, that’s for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria El Rey makes me wish I could have their food every day! The flavors felt so genuine. I ordered a quesabirria plate and couldn't believe how tasty it was, augmented by the rich consome on the side. The ambiance could use a bit of sprucing up, but it's cozy enough for a casual meal. It's clear that they care about their food quality, which keeps me coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Taqueria El Rey after hearing so many good things, but my experience was a bit disappointing. The carne asada burrito appeared tiny for the price I paid. It tasted good, but I was left hungry and felt like I could get more value at a different restaurant. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and the place seemed clean, so there's room for improvement here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Taqueria El Rey several times now, and each time, I'm reminded why I keep coming back. The lengua tacos are absolutely delicious, offering a perfect balance of spices and tenderness. Each bite takes me right back to the streets of Mexico. Plus, their homemade salsa is some of the best I've ever tasted! The ambiance is laid-back, allowing for a pleasant meal with friends. Definitely a dining hotspot in Monroe! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recommend the flautas for anyone looking for delicious crunch! The staff is friendly and quick, and you can’t beat the awesome salsa. It's a simple taco shop, so don't expect fine dining, but definitely a perfect stop for casual meals. I'll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t normally leave reviews, but I felt compelled to after my last meal here. The al pastor tacos were some of the best I've ever tasted. They have this amazing depth of flavor! What’s more, the service was friendly and quick. The only downside was that the seating area is pretty small, but it was worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was extremely let down by my last visit. I ordered takeout and the tacos arrived as a greasy mess, almost inedible. Being someone who loves Mexican food, I was really looking forward to their tacos, only to face a massive disappointment. I also felt ignored when I tried to discuss my concerns with the staff. I may consider another spot for my next meal. Not returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
