Real nacho chips, good salsas, and Carnitas (pulled pork tacos) and Ya Vas (a mix of meat + veggie - do-it-yourself tacos) were all authentic. My wife is a Latina - she should know :)
The prices are all adequate as they really pile of the meat in the taco-sets of 4 ($9-13). I was extremely full after.
Looking forward to trying more things on their menu.
Anyways, the food is great. We've also had some of their "fresh waters" (agua frescas I think...), and they were yummy too.
Long live the King!
Big Mexican food lover (I'm Mexican!) and was sad to see Guacamole go so quickly but excited it was being replaced by another Mexican place. Took my whole family and was very disappointed. Tacos were super greasy. Their salsas were ridiculous spicy (please note- we are MEXICAN). I ordered the enchiladas and was told the salsa I was ordering was "Medium". They arrived and I happily bit into it. My mouth was literally on fire- it was so spicy. Water, horchata, tortillas..nothing took the burning sensation out of my mouth. It was so spicy I was literally crying. I immediately called over the manager (and I NEVER do this) and said- I'm sorry but this salsa is way too hot- I can't eat this. Instead of apologizing- he said I told you it was hot and argued with me how they don't have medium salsa...I said well I can't eat this and ordered the tacos instead. I was charged for the entire enchilada dish AND my tacos- despite the fact that my entire family was eating expensive meals and appetizers. LAME. Manager dropped off the bill to my table and snuck away...he knew he was being an asshole. I had literally eaten 2 bites of the meal. He then left the meal on my table and asked me if I wanted to take it home..(um I can't eat it at home either asshole). The group behind us (also Mexican) was also complaining about the spicy salsa. NEVER will I return. Too bad about their lack of customer service- I could have eaten their greasy tacos again BUT they are SUPER RUDE. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.
Not spicy at all, like someone was saying earlier, at least in my opinion and I tried all of them.
I had their version of what I'm assuming is Queso Fundido with Chorizo and it was so damn tasty. I can't wait to pay a visit myself!
We discovered Kings tacos a couple (or 3 months ago) and after the first time we just can't stop going there! We go AT LEAST once a week because this is THE FIRST AND ONLY REAL MEXICAN RESTARANT in Toronto, I used to go to "El Jacal" which was very good but unfortunately they closed. Just wanted to let you know that I REALLY AM MEXICAN and we decided to try the enchiladas just to check how bad and spicy they were and let me tell you something, even my 4 years old had a plate without even saying they were spicy! And we ordered both, my oldest daughter (who is only 8 years old)ordered the green enchiladas (supposedly the spiciest ones) and my youngest daughter (who is 4 years old) had the red ones and the weren't even a little spicy so, a few thing for you "coolusername":
1. YOU ARE NOT MEXICAN so don't preten to be just to make a bad reputation to the best and ONLY real Mexican food restaurant. If you really are Mexican (which I don't think is the case) you are THE PUSSIEST Mexican I've ever heard of; those enchiladas are not even a little spicy so don't cry like a baby!
2. You probably own one of the other "Mexican restaurants" that is losing clients because of "kings tacos" and your comment was just because you are jelous. If that's the case, you should try being like them; having the prices they have, the taste they have and the service they have (oh ad stop charging for extra tortillas or limes)
3. One more proof that you are a pussy: the name you used to comment is coolusername! Come on! Why don't you use your real name? That is so pusssy!
So, people, KINGS TACOS is THE BEST and ONLY REAL MEXICAN FOOD restaurant we have so far in Toronto so, if you haven't checked it out, come give it a try! Don't let a comment from someone else tell you whether it's good or not, COME TRY IT YOURSELF!!!!
And I recall, I AM MEXICAN AND I GO AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WITH ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS because this restaurant is REALLY MEXICAN, TASTY AND THE SERVICE IS GREAT!!!
