"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

"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
