Tacos El Rey — Restaurant in San Antonio

I would not Recommend, and here's why. Don't believe all the reviews. It seems the restaurant owners have settled for mediocre. We were giving this place another chance, but it fell way short again. Country Sausage was low quality & tough skinned.(See fat nodules in Picture). Carne Guisada was flavorless & Gravy was not cooked enough & properly, there were flour clumps in the gravy. I returned it. Uncooked flour can give you stomach sickness, if you know what I mean.(note clumps & pale gravy in Picture). Coffee was good. My Papa Ranchera was flavorless, it's sauce was lacking seasoning. Pricey: 2 coffees, 2 tacos, 1 Cheese Enchilada plt. Total = $18.82. See pic. I will not waste my time & money...

Nostalgia, the Google dictionary defines nostalgia as: nos·tal·gia a sentimental longing or wishful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. Tacos El Rey definitely personifies nostalgia and its full definition. The food was very comforting and delicious. It took me back in time when I was young. The food at this restaurant awakened memories long forgotten from my youth like my mothers home cooking and the old neighborhood. Its good to know good things made it through the tough times we all have had to go through. Well done Tacos El Rey! I will be coming back more often as I feel that the drive is well worth the reward. I do recommend this fine...

The place is packed more often than not, so I don't think that not having our business will do it any damage, however, the food leaves a lot to be desired. This place met my basic requirements for ordering enchiladas 1) that they use American cheese 2) that the sauce not be carne guisada gravy. With those 2 met I ordered the enchilada plate just to find it falling short of a good experience. New business' struggle to perfect their craft while others rest on their laurels expecting patrons to show up -in their case, I think they will. Good for you that you absolutely don't need to...
