Service was great! Honestly couldn't ask for anything more at a spot like this. The line was to the door so around 5 groups of people ahead of us. The line moved quickly. Maybe 5 minutes??? Not bad at all. The restaurant tables were also full when we walked in, but seemed that all the patrons ate their meals pretty quick because we never saw people waiting for a table to open up. The process was very smooth! My wife ordered a build your own burrito not offered on the menu and the staff were super helpful to walk her through her options to build a delicious vegetarian burrito! Again the staff was helpful and not inconvenienced in the fact we didn't have our usual order ready to go like most of the other clientele. This was much appreciated since it was our first time! I ordered cabeza, barbacoa, and carnitas tacos. Like others have said previously they are large so 3 was plenty! The meat was super flavorful! Not too salty! Each had its own unique and authentic flavor! I'd put these tacos up against the other top taco spots on my favorites list from around the country! In my travels it's been difficult to find tacos that have a nice balance of fat(lard), authentic flavor, and quality meat that's not dried out or over cooked on a flavorful fresh tortilla. The hot sauce options were delicious as well! Tacos El Rey...nailed it on all three of my tacos and my wife's burrito! Clean restaurant, clean bathrooms, easy parking, and friendly servers, add to this list legit cooks in the back of the house and they deserve all 5 stars!
The best tacos in Yakima !!! We also way eat adovada, asada, birria, or carnitas. Everything is amazing !!!!
Authentic, delicious food. I had tacos, which are large, filling and delicious. My dinner companions had a huge chicken burrito, which was also great. Restaurant, including the restrooms, is clean and bright. If we lived here, we would come again.
Strong 4.5 and they get that extra star bc the amount of food was beyond what was needed! Great tasting. Hi Ken and the cilantro was fresh and strong. Food was quick to arrive and hot! Glad we stopped by for lunch!
The food yeah, delicious! And great price & service - This place was a stop on the highway and well worth the drive!
Very much a locals vibe. Folks getting off work, families, many patrons familiar with each other. The store is very clean and well run. In fact, the owner/manager asked what I like and discussed the menu offering tips. Later he brought me a complimentary taco! This place is a must return to for me. Delicious!
Food is great Ambiance great Service is really bad, waited 25 minutes for 3 tacos I always call to place the order before so it's ready to pick up but the NEVER pick up the phone, they are really bad on picking up the phone Tacos are good but if you are in a rush forget about this place This is my last time I will come here.
We were told these were the best tacos in Yakima so after a 3.5 hour drive, it's only fair we come here. Not the best I've had, but they're pretty good. When I first saw the prices, I was disappointed but the size of the tacos are fair for the price point though I enjoy the small, cheap tacos from bundle deals. They do give a generous amount of meat too. Though, a burrito is roughly 3 tacos so value wise, the burritos a great deal. Asada Tacos - get the asada on anything! Their steak is great, tender meat. Tacos themselves are again, fairly large. Four is a very solid amount for a meal. One hundred percent get the asada over other meats. Use provided sauces for more flavor if needed. Adobada Tacos - the adobada is extra juicy as it's a marinated meat but the one here also packs a slight kick. Not a substantial spiciness, but it's sort of there as extra flavor, especially if you don't want to add more sauce yourself. Asada Burrito - like the tacos, there's a good amount of meat. Also in the burrito is rice and beans but I would say meat makes up half the burrito. More filling than a few tacos, but that makes sense. Snag this for a cheaper but filling meal.
Very popular place with locals in a neighborhood. Authentic delicious food. Yum! We returned a couple times while in town.
