" The tacos were okay, probably not worth the notorious wait time I had to experience. We arrived during rush hour and ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our order. When it finally came, the corn tortillas were fresh, but I wasn't too impressed with the chorizo taco. It lacked seasoning. While some flavors were on point, it could be hit or miss depending on the day. I'll likely give them another chance, but I hope the service improves next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place for its excellent food! The tacos are mouthwatering, and I've brought friends who can’t stop raving about their authentic flavors. Last week, I had the barbacoa tacos, and they were out of this world. The only downfall was the long wait time; we waited around 20 minutes to order. But I guess good food takes time! I'll keep coming back for the exceptional taste and quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious authentic tacos not far from my place! I usually get the carne asada tacos, but last time I opted for the fish tacos, and let me just say, best decision ever! The skin on that fish was beautiful, and the carne asada was succulent. Moreover, the prices are incredibly low for the quality you receive. My only complaint is the lack of seating. They should definitely consider expanding their space since it’s hard to enjoy the food at the truck. Nevertheless, I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, you can't go wrong with Tacos El Rey! The flavors have such depth, and you can definitely taste the quality in their tortillas. I absolutely love their carne asada tacos! The service was friendly, but I wish they had more options on their menu. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently moved here and wanted to find a good taco truck to get my fix! I found Tacos El Rey based on reviews, and I have to say, I was very pleased. The tacos have incredible flavor and are clearly made with authentic ingredients. However, I faced a bit of a hassle with ordering, as there were quite a few people in line. The service was reasonably fast, but it could be improved. Nevertheless, I’ll be going again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Rey has some of the most authentic and delicious tacos in the valley! This is a must-try if you’re a fan of street food. My favorite is definitely the lengua taco, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The service was friendly, but the lines can get quite long at peak times, so I recommend going early. Overall, the flavors more than make up for the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, so Tacos El Rey could easily be one of my favorite taco trucks, but there's a major drawback—their hours! Every time I decide to go, half the time there's a huge chance they are closed. The food is amazing, though! Fresh and authentic tacos, especially the al pastor! I highly recommend the hot salsa for those who love a kick. If they can improve their hours, I know they could have a lot more customers like me! " (*Curated Review*)
