Tacos El Rey 2 — Restaurant in Erie

Apparently their breakfast burritos contain no meat (not even if you pay for it). Perfect for vegetarians. This review is based on an experience from two separate visits. Visit #1 As I recall this visit took place around 8:00 in the morning. When I entered there were 10 or 12 people standing around waiting for their orders. I stood at the counter waiting for someone to serve me for a few minutesbefore someone finally took my order, no "good morning", no polite smile, everyone working looked totally miserable. After ordering I sit there for about 17 minutes (I remember because I was watching a video on YouTube and the time code said 17:33 seconds when they handed me my order) before they handed me my breakfast burrito. I remember it was weird because half the guys waiting for their food before me were still there when I left. The first thing I noticed when eating the bacon breakfast burrito I ordered was the prominence of huge potato cubes and barely any eggs. The second thing I noticed was that this bacon breakfast burrito didn't actually have any bacon in it. The chili was also kind of flavorless, all heat and no zest. Bizarre experience, lackluster service/atmosphere, and mediocre breakfast burritos with no meat.

Visit #2: After about 6 months I decided to give them another chance, maybe they were just having a bad day the first time after all? On this visit I entered at 7:23 a.m. well after their 7:00 a.m. opening time. There was no one in the counter and no one came to serve me. So after 7 Minutes of waiting around I just left.

Maybe they're better for lunch, but if you want burritos for breakfast, specifically bacon burritos, and if you want those burritos to have bacon in them, I could not...

I stopped into Tacos El Rey 2 this morning at 9:25am for a breakfast burrito on my way to work. When I walked in, there was a young man sitting at one of the booths surfing his phone. As I approached the counter, he lazily got up to take my order. I asked him if they served breakfast burritos. Without saying a word, he reached up and turned on the TV above his head which displayed the menu. I ordered a smothered chorizo burrito. The only words spoken by the employee was the price for the burrito, otherwise, he never looked up from his phone. I paid with a card and left a tip. This will be the last time I ever tip at a counter. I sat down and waited for my burrito. I waited for over 25 minutes and eventually left without my breakfast because I was going to be late for work. The entire time I waited for my food, the employee that took my order just stared at his phone.

I could see that there were two other guys working in the kitchen, but they obviously had no interest in preparing food at any sort of reasonable pace. Its not like this place was swamped either, I was the only customer in the restaurant until about 5 minutes before I walked out. I paid over $8 for a burrito that I never received. And I tipped. How stupid. Somebody owes me a refund.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH...

Was really excited to try this place after reading really good reviews but I am feeling pretty disappointed in the food I got. I received chicken street tacos with no cilantro and they had no green sauce for the tacos. Wasn’t terrible food but not worth the $20 I spent after tipping them. Probably won’t be back.

So I half way appreciate the response to my review sort of but it’s laughable because why would I be mad about getting tacos with no cilantro if I ordered them with no cilantro? I just ordered regular street tacos. I never once said anything about not wanting cilantro. I expect to get all 3 of the ingredients on the tacos. I didn’t order them that way I ordered them from your cashier in person and either they messed up or your cooks did and forgot 1 of 3 ingredients. It’s okay tacos ay ay is...
