Taqueria El Rey

Super low key place with amazing food. If you need elegance, go somewhere else. If you want authenticity, this is your new go-to.

It was a spontaneous stop. My girlfriend and I were just driving down Vernor with the windows down, and smelled the amazing smell coming from the outdoor grill of the restaurant. Had to stop by, and the chicken was amazing! Can't wait to come again, and I totally recommend it for sure. Although there was a wait, I think it made the chicken taste much better since it was fresh off the grill. *****

This is the best Mexican food in the city. I almost don't want people to know how good it is because it's a small restaurant and cant fit a lot of people. Best food deal in the city too. Get the half chicken.

You've been on my radar for some time now. Tonight, I grabbed Hubs and we made the trek. Honestly, I hesitate to write this review, as you are such a tiny place, and you already pack the house. But you are so darn special ... such a rare delicacy, that to not share you is just too selfish. Your salsa is homemade and full of fresh cilantro, and I thank you for that. And your chicken is famously touted, and yes, we really enjoyed it. But your dry ribs (well, sort of dry with Adobo), they are bar none the very best ribs we've EVER had. I'm not a bone girl, and I'll tell you what ... I cleaned the bones. ALL meat, All tender, All of what we will forever CRAVE. Rock on, you special little place. We will be back. Often.

This place is always great!! The service is great. There aren't any frills, but the food is excellent and everyone is super friendly. I always get the chicken and the ribs. These are the best ribs I've ever had. The only thing is to remember to bring cash.
