Taco's EL Rey, located at 2225 McGregor Dr in Rancho Cordova, CA, is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for taco lovers. Patrons rave about the *quesabirria tacos* and *shrimp quesadillas*, both of which stand out for their flavor and quality. Customer Caitlyn Tomlin shared her delight, rating her experience a perfect *10/10*, stating that the food was so good she couldn't bear to stop eating for photos. The vibrant *street tacos*, priced at an astonishing $1.75, are also a highlight, proving consistently better than those offered elsewhere for a higher price, as noted by Nestor Gerales.
What truly sets Taco's EL Rey apart is the warm and welcoming service. Reviewers have praised the staff for their kindness, enhancing the overall dining experience. The portions are generous too, with Thom Foster mentioning that their burritos and quesadillas are enough to feed two people, ensuring you get value for your money.
For those seeking innovation, ask for the quesabirria if it’s not visibly on the menu—Kat Green found it crispy, meaty, and cheesy, a revelation elevated by a quick fry in an air fryer. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Taco's EL Rey promises a satisfying culinary journey into authentic Mexican flavors. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

So i've been wanting to try quesabirrias for awhile now and it's awesome that this food truck has em. We've been to Taco's El Rey for quesadillas and burritos before but the quesabirria is definitely my favorite! It was crispy, meaty and cheesy. The consome was delicious and flavorful. One thing to note would be...because it's in a styrofoam container, if you don't immediately eat all of it, it gets real soggy BUT what I did end up doing is I popped it into the air fryer and it got even better! Also, it's not on the menu when you are scanning the food truck but if you ask them, they'll make it :)
