The owners of El Rey del Taco have no idea that we are even writing this article. Please comment on this post if you have a favorite Buford Highway restaurant….we might add it to our list!ĭisclaimer: This is not a paid advertisement. I liked it because it was more firm and not as candy sweet as some I have tried.Įl Rey Del Taco is definitely worth a trip for an inexpensive, tasty cultural experience! We both have 7 th graders at PCMS who are beginning in Spanish classes and agreed it will be on the Anders/Moncrief field trip destinations to visit for the dining and language experience! We ended our feeding frenzy with a Tres Leches cake ($4.50): Audra was not impressed because she likes a moister version. We ordered side dishes of radish and grilled onions, which were fresh and delicious! ($1 each) I really liked it and you should try it if you are a fan of lamb or other gamey meats Very unique and refreshing! ($7.50)įor our entrees, we ordered a variety of tacos, which are all hand made tortillas ($2):Īudra enjoyed all BUT the Barbacoa because it is a stronger taste. Audra summarized it perfectly by likening it to a bloody Mary spritzer. Michelada: Cold beer of choice (we chose Corona) on the rocks prepared with lime and tomato juices with a spicy valentine sauce. We chose the green (verde) which was amazing! I was particularly excited about seeing two things on the menu that I had enjoyed on a recent trip to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico which you don’t normally see in most Mexican restaurants:Ĭhilalquiles: Are similar to an American version of nachos, but much better! Corn tortilla chips, delicioso queso, poblano pepper and your choice of red or green salsa. They were served with a hair curling red salsa and a much tamer green salsa that was muy delicioso! The chips were just like you get in Mexico…a little thicker than Tostitos and salted to perfection.

We started out with the guacamole dip and chips which was chunky and full of flavor. I will sum it up in two very translatable words…Muy autentico! Tuesday, after much research, we decided to try out El Rey del Taco Taqueria at 5288 Buford Highway. AHA and I will head down the Buford Hwy looking for hidden gems and fun places that many might be timid to try. The song playing on the iPod was one of our fave B52 songs, “I was heading down the Atlanta Highway” which provided a bit of inspiration for where I want to kick this boondoggle off! Every other week, Ms. I was equally surprised by Audra’s response that she was looking for someone to help her do restaurant reviews for her blog. Even to my surprise and without hesitation, my response was “something having to do with food”. Since I am currently unemployed after 24 years with Merck, she asked me what I wanted to do with my life. So here’s how it came about……Audra and I were on a road trip coming back from seeing Kenny Chesney at the FloraBama and were talking about jobs and such.
