13 Stops for Excellent Tacos in Raleigh

"El Rey del Taco serves Oaxacan-style tacos and treats from two colorful blue taco trucks that roam Raleigh. There are grilled tilapia tacos, barbacoa tacos made with slow-cooked beef chuck marinated in a guajillo chile sauce, and buche tacos — pan-fried pork tripe. The trucks also offer quesadillas and a torta menu featuring telera baked fresh by Neomonde Bakery." - Matt Lardie

8 Best Taco Trucks in the Triangle - Eater Carolinas

"Owner and chef Jorge González-Peña brings the precision and care of the cuisine of his hometown of Oaxaca, Mexico to El Rey Del Taco. It doesn’t get fresher than homemade tortillas pressed and grilled right there on the food truck. Diners will find traditional herbs such as epazote and avocado leaves adding depth to cheesy quesadillas. With three trucks now operating in and around Raleigh, you can track down El Rey whenever you have a taco craving." - Gabi Mendick

I go here occasionally for the past few years and it’s been fine. I would usually go late at night. Today, I’m writing this review because I had a long day at work and I was really looking forward to some street tacos and these are my go to tacos. I ordered six al pastore‘s with an Horchata. They filled my tortillas up to the brim with meat, which usually is a great thing. But I couldn’t pick up my tacos without them breaking in three pieces and falling apart in my hands since the tortillas weren’t cooked and they only gave me two small cups for my six tacos. They were pretty dry and that’s never happened before, I think they just filled my plate up all the way to get rid of the old meat That’s probably been sitting for a little bit. I’m just very upset with this. Maybe I’ll give them a chance in the future but this experience today was disappointing.
