  Taco trucks...a taco lovers haven for those little succulent meat filled treasures. Quite possibly the most social food on the planet, arguably the most delicious, and you can get them damn near anywhere. But the best come from small venues such as this. Taco El Rey. A standard taco truck nestled in a back alley between a nursery and feed store. And it makes total sense. All the hard working landscapers flocking to this truck for lunch...it was a no brainer to give it a shot...and it delivered.
  
  We were in the mood for tacos...like real tacos not the hipster trendy turds floating around. So I drove over, stepped up to the truck and ordered a slew of pastor, adobado, and carnitas. The craving was real at this point and just as fast it came it was filled. 14 tacos down the hatch...no regrets...no reservations...just satisfaction. The Pastor was the favorite closley followed by the carnitas. All were just as expected, jucy and delicious. I was pleased to see they give you the authentic condiments for Street tacos...red, Verde, and avocado salsas with onion and cilantro, and a slice of radish. All were good but the avocado took it for the win. They use correct sized #10 tacos doubled up as well which was great to see. Not made in house but forgivable.
  
  Tacos El Ray is a solid choice to fill your street taco craving. Is it the best? No, it's not. But does it need to be? It's here, and it's sufficient..and it IS delicious so give it a shot and eat those suckers standing up the way they were intended.

  Carne Asada meat quality is ehh but over all good for the price. Only thing that sucked was they forgot to put my onions and cilantro inside my burrito.

  I dunno why this place has such bad reviews. It has some amazing food and flavors. The wait time can be bad, but they take call in orders and give you an estimate on how long your food will take. They are SUPER cheap, which is good because I can afford it on my student budget. I love them so much. Haven't found tripas tacos anywhere else in Boise area that's as good. And their al pastor torta is

  High quality taco truck food. Friendly staff. Made to order. Not the biggest taco truck burrito I've ever had - but it was good! I'll go back.

  For no particular reason, my wife and I have been having a hankering for Taco-Truck-Tacos lately.  We've sampled a few around the valley over time, but the last few days have been hunting them down one-by-one, hoping to find that one good one.  Well, my friends, we may have found it.  On a random drive around town today, we noticed a Tacos El Ray truck just a stone's throw from our neighborhood, and decided to grab a quick taco snack in the middle of the afternoon.  
  
  My wife and I each got a single pork taco.  They were cooked fresh, and were very hot (temperature) when the friendly server handed them to us.  He handed us two tubes of sauce, and of course we chose the red-spicy sauce.  After I smothered the two tacos with the sauce, they were also very hot (spicy).  Combine this with the fact that it is a hot afternoon and we were eating them in my hot car, we ended up enjoying our hot, hot, hot hot taco snack.  The pork was cooked in this delectable sauce, and was juicy and tender.  The tortillas were really good too, and could have been home made.  Simple, but delicious.  We will be walking here for lunches and dinners here in the future.
