Tacos el Rey restaurante es lo megor en Brighton beach y todo comida sabrosa atención buenísima está por muchos años y cada día está mejor. Gracias
Very delicious and authentic if you're looking for a quiet or romantic atmosphere this is not the place for that, the jukebox is almost always blasting and the crowd is mainly men after work. The waitress's are very sweet but it doesn't hurt to brush up on yur Spanish before you go
Came here after a great Brighton beach day because we'd already tried the overrated Spubunky Gardens and wanted something better. The food here was awesome - loved the cecina (salted beef) tacos and the shrimp cocktail especially, but the sandwiches and platters looked great as well. I wish they let you choose two different tacos for the combos but that isn't a big deal. Service was very quick and friendly too on a hot busy day.

Couldn’t find any taco trucks in the area but found this gem going for a drive to the beach. Was doubtful but once I had a bite, my taco standards were raised a seriously large notch.
Paid total of about $26 for 2 orders of carne asada and 2 grilled chicken tacos to go. Mind you each order comes w 2 tacos so a total of 8 tacos. Worried I overpaid but too hungry to argue, I asked the manager if he thought the order was enough for 3. He was well over 200 lbs and said he usually just orders ONE order. ??? That confused me as I imagined he would say something to make me want to buy more.
I also asked if they came with any guacamole and maybe I should order some. Many penny pinching places will try to charge extra for salsa, guac or anything else if they could. “Yes” he replied, “guacamole is included.” Oh boy did it! Each taco, the size of a fat fist, was topped with a thick layer of delicious avocado mix. Filled inside each 2 corn tortillas were good portions of the meats along with cilantro and other ingredients. Flavored just right (not over salted!) I was in taco heaven.
They were so good that I didn’t even see the bag of fresh cut turnips and lime they packed! Disappointed in myself for missing them, I was very impressed by the quality and all the additions. If they had served on a plate, it would have been much better than some of the overpriced Mexican meals in the UES.
5 stars. Want to return already.
Note: they did take a good 15 minutes to prepare. I felt guilty walking in and out but had to check on my double-parked car then return again for the AC.
This restaurant appears to have been closed? We have driven by this place 3 times in the past two weeks, and the restaurant was closed.
This is hands down the best Mexican/Central American restaurant in Brooklyn with fresh, authentic, flavorful cuisine and friendly services. We ordered from Tacos El Ray for over 10 years and haven't had a single disappointing experience.
An overall great experience. The food is authentic, the staff is very friendly and attentive, and the place makes you feel welcome. The food is served fresh. There is plenty on your plate, and the menu is extensive enough that you really want to go back to try more and more. A really great place well worth a visit.
Such an amazing place! I didn't wait something special from it, but we just walk around to find some place to eat at 11.00 pm and it was amazing! I enjoy taco shrimp and they have great guacamole for free!
great little place by our house to satisfy my Mexican food cravings in a predominantly Russian area. I have not had a sit down dinner here, just delivery/takeout which was always great. and the chicken is cute (see photo)
The service was good, the food was tasty and on a timely manner.
Great staff!! Good food!! Good price :)
The tacos are good!!!
We had a good time. Good service and they give you nice extras like chips with guac, salsa, and sour cream while you're waiting. Plus other extra things like sauerkraut (which we thought was delicious) and radishes and limes. What we ordered was very very spicy though so beware. If anything, have a plan B option to order instead. The atmosphere and decorations are nice (don't forget to look at the ceiling).
I just wish they had some type of dessert on the menu
Really good tacos. They come in orders of two and they are big tacos.id recommend the steak tacos
