4 reviews for Azteca Pride El Rey Del Taco Corporation
This place is all about the food. There are tons of options for those who don't want corn tortillas, which I really prefer. I personally enjoy their Huarches which can have different fillings. I love the roast pork and the grilled chicken fillings.
Dining in won't give you a great atmosphere, but it will get you some of their tasty salsa. They also have a very impressive variety of Mexican sodas.
This place is really quick for delivery, and very very affordable.
For quality of food and value I say this is the best for the money.
Food: (Review based solely on the mix taco I had. Will come back soon and try different stuff since I was satisfied.) Real good, love the mix of meats and flavor. The meat is a little charred, the way I like it. Alot of fresh toppings, but go light on all the sauces, too salty. This results in sort of a dilemma as you'll need to go heavy on the hot sauce to taste the heat. All of this goodness is served on two lightly grilled and oiled tortillas.
Drinks: Didn't try. Didn't see horchata so didn't order anything.
Service: Friendly, fast service.
Finally a decent Mexican place! I can say that it is better than a lot of small mom&pop shops from southern Cali (or at least the one's I've been to). They make their own hot sauce too. I liked the chips and salsa, loved their pumpkin flower quesadilla and their shrimp burrito. The tortilla they used was super good too. I think they toast it to give it a slight crunch texture. Definitely craving this place again!
Alas, El Rey has outgrown his taco truck. This logical transition has a great variety of menu item including traditional Mexican breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The beef and the pork tacos tend to be stricken with fatty gristle, so do yourself a favor and stick to the chorizo or chicken.
Yes, despite this downfall, El Rey is STILL worth 4/5 stars. Delicious! AND every meal is cooked by El Rey himself...just like the old days at the truck. This taco is very similar to La Esquina (probably couldn't tell the difference in a blind taste test), but this is less than half the price (and in Astoria)!
