" Simply the best taco truck in the area! I couldn’t be more thrilled with the authentic Mexican flavors they've brought to the Treasure Valley. Every visit, I try something new, and I've never been disappointed. The staff is friendly, despite the long lines. It's worth the trip if you're looking for genuine Mexican street food. Last time I had the adobada, and it was superb! Just make sure to check their hours online to avoid any surprises. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with a bunch of friends, and we were not let down! The tacos were packed full of flavor. The asada tacos were some of the best I've had in a long time. The salsa was a nice addition too! Be aware, though, that there’s limited seating, and the restaurant can fill up quickly during busy times. I’ll be returning for certain! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a little mixed on my experience. On one hand, the tacos were good, and I really enjoyed the variety of meats they offered. On the other hand, the truck was so busy during lunch, and the service felt rushed, which put a damper on the experience. The lengua taco was delicious, however, some additional toppings like avocado would have been perfect. I might give this place another chance due to their authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a long-time fan of Tacos El Rey, and the food never disappoints! The tacos are authentic, and the flavours remind me of the meals I had in Mexico. Last week, I took my family, and we all fell in love with the barbacoa burrito—it was juicy and flavorful! Just be aware that sometimes they're closed when their hours suggest they should be open. We've had to check their hours multiple times before heading there. But each time we do manage to catch them, the experience makes it all worth the effort. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to finally check this taco truck out after seeing the buzz. The tacos were good, but I feel some ingredients could use a bit more seasoning. The service was okay, though they seemed a bit rushed during lunch hour. I would give it another shot since it felt authentic, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. " (*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*)
