This food is authentic and good I highly recommend. Its a good grub! My favorite are the chicken and barria burritos.The tacos are good as well. The consume is so good I could drink it! LOL! The guys on the truck are friendly, the service is quick and the truck is clean. Remember this is authentic so it's not going to be like Chipotle but I think you will be satisfied and pleased with your meal. A burrito is just over $11 with tax and 1 tacos is a little over $5 each. See menu in pics.

Taqueria El Rey #3 is delicious. The service and food are amazing. We should have taken pics before we started eating, but it was too delicious to wait. They have a sitting area if you would like to eat outside and listen to their music. Which we did……we def recommend doing this on a nice day. We ordered Carne Asada Torta, Chicken Quesadilla, Birria Tacos and Carne Asada Tacos. ????????
