Tacos El Rey — Restaurant in Caldwell

Historically the best place in town to grab a delicious authentic plate. On our last visit however, we were disappointed by a few things. The food is still great. But no one was wearing masks. Why on earth not??? The other big thing was waiting for our order. During the lunch hour, I ordered a serving of rice and beans, 1 quesadilla, 1 enchilada plate, and 3 tacos. I waited 20-25 minutes in the front dining room, while individuals walked in, ordered, and were served within about 5 minutes each. They were local working men, very regular customers I'm sure, but it was disheartening to be waiting that long and to see them walk out ahead of me one by one. The staff are tense and unsmiling nowadays, and that was hard to see, as well. But the biggest thing was the masks. To me, as a business, they have foregone an essential opportunity to take the lead and set a good example for others in the community (not to mention, how do I, or they, know none of the staff carry Covid?).

Wow o Wow I LOVE Tacos El Rey. My favorite place in all the U.S. to get tacos. Not only is their food second to none, but the service is quick and the people are super nice.

Stop in and order at the counter and see if you don't agree that the kitchen is amazingly clean. Stop and eat here, I couldn't more highly recommend them. You'll be glad you stopped. And I go enough that you just might see me there chomping on a few...

So good! We make it a point to come here once a month as it's a little far from our house.

The food is delicious! Their tacos de lengua are my favorite! No one cook the meat like they do! My husbands go to is the combination - with comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, avocado, lettuce, and tortillas. This is always more than enough for him. My son is a fan of their rice and quesadillas.

The restaurant does have limited seating available, so on busy days expect a small wait for a table. As far as their service and location they always provide fast service and it's always clean. Price for their food is perfect as it's no too expensive. Totally recommend coming here for some delicious...
