" Recently, I visited El Rey del Taco #3 out of sheer curiosity after all the rave reviews. I opted for a variety of tacos—chicken, lengua, and al pastor. What stood out was how authentic they tasted compared to other taco trucks in the area. Unfortunately, the chicken was slightly dry, which was a letdown as I had high hopes. The ambiance isn't luxurious, just typical of a food truck, but what matters is the food. I will return, but I'm sticking to the asada next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a taco enthusiast, I had high expectations for this place, especially given its reputation. While I enjoyed the fresh tacos, I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. The flavors were good but somewhat standard. The service was friendly, though I experienced a mix-up with my order. Overall, not a bad experience, but I wouldn't consider it the best taco truck in town. I'll definitely give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food and good people! My experience at El Rey del Taco was pleasant and delicious. I ordered the super quesadilla, and it was more than enough to fill me up. Though the noise from nearby traffic was a bit much, the food made up for it. I'll surely be coming back to try their tacos next. It's hard to find good food at this price, so I'm glad I stumbled upon this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the best tacos here! They truly know how to make authentic food that's delicious and satisfying. I had their lengua and carne asada tacos, and both were phenomenal. The pricing is very reasonable too and I'm grateful that I found this spot. My only concern would be the safety aspect while dining outside, so it's best to visit during the day or with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute local gem! The fantastic flavors pouring out of this taco truck are simply unforgettable. I tried a selection of tacos, with every single one being a hit! The freshness of the ingredients really shines through, and the prices make it accessible for all. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Modesto. I’ll definitely be making this a regular spot for satisfying my taco cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really loved how vibrant the flavors were at this taco truck. The tacos I tried were packed with freshness and a great variety of salsas complemented them well. However, the place can get a bit crowded, and I did feel a longer wait time on my last visit. Nonetheless, the food was worth the wait, and I will be back soon. Highly recommend the asada taco and the burrito! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Rey del Taco is definitely a go-to spot for anyone craving authentic street tacos. However, during my visit, the service was quite slow due to the high volume of orders. The tacos were tasty, especially the al pastor, but I feel they could improve the speed of service. I'll happily give them a second chance after the experience, as the food was indeed quite satisfying. " (*Curated Review*)
