El Rey del Taco to go

"One of the best taco spots in area. Delicious food. Friendly service. Pretty interior. I got the chicken enchiladas in mole, they were spicy and savory :). Love their complimentary nachos with beans. I will def be coming back. They make cocktails and have beer on draft."

"The food was original Mexican, very tasty but very spicy, the drinks were the best, after 3 you want to dance"

"Got a chicken Burrito to go. Service was quick and efficient. Food was delicious and looked great . Especially when it's cheaper than a lot of other places in the neighborhood."

"Great food. Hand made tortillas tacos are the best !!! Same food from the taco truck in Astoria but their tacos are handmade tortillas they also offer pozole and birria tacos !!!"

"I made a point of going yesterday to check out Astoria’s newest Mexican restaurant, El Rey Del Taco, for their grand opening. I think most people are familiar with their taco trucks (which can be found parked all over Astoria) so it’s nice to see that they now also have a brick-and-mortar location. The restaurant occupies the former La Tienda space on 31st Avenue and 32nd Street. There’s a nice outdoor set up in front and inside there are plenty of seating, along with some very cool looking hand painted murals on the wall. For their grand opening, they were doing a special promo of $2 taco/$5 everything else. I ordered 4 tacos (carnitas, chorizo, al pastor and bistec) and one chicken quesadilla. The tacos were all pretty good although I would say the bistec meat was slightly tough. The carnitas and chorizo were nice and flavorful. The tacos were made with handmade tortillas and topped with avocado cream sauce, cilantro, and onions. As for the quesadilla, you can opt for either corn or flour tortilla and it has crema, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. It was delicious. Unsurprisingly, I found the food at the restaurant to be better than what they serve in their food trucks. Prices are practically the same so I’m thinking I’ll probably skip the trucks and just order from their restaurant from now on."
