Reviews for Tacos El Rey in Brooklyn, NY
Really good food at a very reasonable price. Douglas is my hero! He makes my food delicious.
It's a shame how the quality of the food has gone down. I use to be a frequent customer at this restaurant. It was my go to... restaurant after a day at the beach. Now it appears that the owner doesn't care about the quality of the food. We found a longhair in our food and was brought to the owner. The owner however did not care and said nothing could be done about it and justignored it. This was a hair that was wedged inside a burrito which made it extra nauseating. Apparently it's common to find hairin your food at this restaurant and yet the owner won't do anything in regards to quality control which is a shame. Furthermore,they allow any dog to eat inside the establishment, which is a hygenic nightmare on its own. In terms of the taste of the food,I've had better. The food wasn't seasoned well. Their salsa Verde tasted like tomato sauce, absolutely no spice whatsoever. Wehad to request for hot sauce or else they won't give it you. At least their horchata was decent ??????????? Read more
Came here after a great Brighton beach day because we'd already tried the overrated Spubunky Gardens and wanted something... better. The food here was awesome - loved the cecina (salted beef) tacos and the shrimp cocktail especially, but the sandwichesand platters looked great as well. I wish they let you choose two different tacos for the combos but that isn't a big deal.Service was very quick and friendly too on a hot busy day. Read more
Worst food i ate and i ordered fish ...i was given a skeleton fish with no meat fish as also burned ....talked with owner and... she dnt care so avoid at all cost!! Read more
The service was good, the food was tasty and on a timely manner.
The birria and enchiladas were not appetizing. 2 stars instead of 1 because the horchata and service were really good Adding:... just because you don’t see a picture of it doesn’t mean it wasn’t ordered, trust me I did you a favor. To refresh yourmemory I was the guy that told your staff that the enchiladas weren’t good enough to pay for a to go plate. Read more
Couldn’t find any taco trucks in the area but found this gem going for a drive to the beach. Was doubtful but once I had a... bite, my taco standards were raised a seriously large notch. Paid total of about $26 for 2 orders of carne asada and 2 grilledchicken tacos to go. Mind you each order comes w 2 tacos so a total of 8 tacos. Worried I overpaid but too hungry to argue, Iasked the manager if he thought the order was enough for 3. He was well over 200 lbs and said he usually just orders ONE order.??? That confused me as I imagined he would say something to make me want to buy more. I also asked if they came with anyguacamole and maybe I should order some. Many penny pinching places will try to charge extra for salsa, guac or anything else ifthey could. “Yes” he replied, “guacamole is included.” Oh boy did it! Each taco, the size of a fat fist, was topped witha thick layer of delicious avocado mix. Filled inside each 2 corn tortillas were good portions of the meats along with cilantroand other ingredients. Flavored just right (not over salted!) I was in taco heaven. They were so good that I didn’t even seethe bag of fresh cut turnips and lime they packed! Disappointed in myself for missing them, I was very impressed by the qualityand all the additions. If they had served on a plate, it would have been much better than some of the overpriced Mexican mealsin the UES. 5 stars. Want to return already. Note: they did take a good 15 minutes to prepare. I felt guilty walking in andout but had to check on my double-parked car then return again for the AC. Read more
Absolute worst burrito I ever had! That saying a lot because I’ve had good burritos in the past. The last few times I ordered... have been disappointing and I try to give the benefit of the doubt but this was it. It was 90% rice and just sloppily puttogether and tasted meh. There’s plenty of other Mexican restaurants to choose, you’re better off trust me. Read more
