Wow... Taqueria El Rey definitely lives up to its Yelp-review hype. I came here on a quiet Memorial Day Monday. Lots of people would be coming back from the mountains and stuff, but Taqueria El Rey was pretty quiet at 3:00 in the afternoon. There were just two other parties there - they have about 9-10 tables inside, it was clean, bright, and surfing was on on the TV. It was a nice taqueria vibe - simple, down-to-earth, nice. It doesn't seem like they do Online Ordering/GrubHub/Uber Eats/etc... so you just have to get off your butt and go in person.I ordered one thing - the "Super Burrito" - I think it's a normal burrito with fries (aka "California" burrito). Meat of your choice (they have a lot of options - 13 options on their menu), fries, rice, cheese, salsa, crema, beans, and guacamole. You can also just make your own burrito and get whatever you want on it if you're picky. There wasn't a line or anything, so it took them a few mins to make it and I was on my way - fast, easy, no-fuss. Niceeeee. I got the precious, burrito cargo home and went to town. The first thing I pulled out of the bag was the habanero salsa... and it was like... TRULY A HABANERO SALSA - the pale orange color of danger in a good sized little cup. I'm not sure if it cost extra or not - dont remember. I got the carne asada (beef) version of the Super Burrito, and it was just incredible. The meat was super tender and everything was well seasoned throughout - salty but not too salty, a little crisp from the fries, meaty, umami, creamy (from the beans and guac and sour cream or whatever). Oh my heavens. Burritos like this easily fall flat when you miss the salt level, but this was perfection. It was too big for me to eat in one sitting - I stopped probably at about 4/5ths of it eaten - feeling extra plump in my midsection. The habanero salsa was FIREEEE - it was a bit plain (no frills, no filler), but it was PROPERLY SPICY. It went so well with this burrito, though - giving it an extra level of interest. I used only about half of the cup (I saved the extra it because I liked it so much and had it on an egg sandwich the next day, haha). Definitely an amazing experience. I will absolutely be back. I've been to one other taqueria in the area - Taqueria Monte Alban (in Snohomish) - and that's also really good, but I think 'El Rey beats it handily... at least in the California burrito wars of 2023.

I gave this place 3 chances because we all have off days 2 times my tacos were so greasy i couldnt eat them. The grease was so bad thats all i tasted. Then for my final attempt i ordered a quesadilla with order they forgot it. So i called and asked if they could refund me and she refused she said i can only come pick up a new one right then or another time. When i asked to speak to.the manager she refused. I said i wouldnt be back and she said thats ok. So keep in mind we went 3 times in a row on fridays spending 50 to 60 dollars and thats how i was treated. They stole my money. Buyer beware. Ill be ordering togo somewhere else

Carne Asada Burrito was amazing. Not a good choice for dining in. It's got a teriyaki take out vibe but the food isn't your typical Mexican canned and salty crap, it's delicious.

Great place for cheap tacos in Monroe! They give a good amount of meat in each taco. The meats and sauces are well flavored! They always have good service, friendly staff!Small place inside but you can eat there too, very clean!

My wife and I met our friends here for our monthly Taco Tuesday meet.Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment.Indoors is small and similar to a Teriyaki joint (take-out atmosphere). Orders are placed at the counter. Table service is minimal.My wife and I ordered a couple bottles (draft not offered) of Modelo Negro for $4.25 each. When I asked if we could get a glass with our beers I was told they didn't have anymore clean glasses available. Our friends were lucky enough to get a glass with their beers.Complimentary chips and salsa are provided. The chips are on the thicker side, more like fried tortillas. Still tasty though. They would be perfect chips for nachos since they wouldn't get soggy.On Tuesday's, street tacos are $1.50 each. I ordered a carnitas and spicy chicken taco. Both were tasty; however, I loved the spicy chicken taco. This taco alone would be the reason that I returned to El Rey in the future.My wife and I also shared a side of beans for $2.95. The beans were flavorful and the prefect pairing with the chips.Overall, I would only return to El Rey in the future for a take-out order to enjoy at home where I could enjoy better chips, salsa and beer.

Had the carne asada burrito without jalapeños.10.94 just for the burrito.Not bad. Not well wrapped. It did have a lot of carne compared to others around here however the flavor was bland.Chips were stale and not flavorful. As some have said it had a Teriyaki vibe - some token baskets on the wall. I would come again to find the right dish I liked. The cashier was nice and kept the tables cleaned up.
