I tried this place for the first after passing it by many times and happy I did. The restaurant is decorated with pictures of customers in Taco eating contests and other items. Their service is pretty quick , I ordered the shrimp taco bowl, it was really good, next time I'll order less lettuce. The green sauce is really good. I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu

This is my favorite burrito place and they serve great tacos, of course. I love their Chef Special burrito/bowl made with steak, chicken, and shrimp. Whenever I'm in town, Taco King is an absolute must-visit. Dining area is nothing special, I usually take out anyway.

The food was amazing here and the orders come out quick. The ambiance of the whole place is very relaxing and it's easy to find parking too. Would come back here again, the guacamole is amazing and I dipped everything with it

More of a Tex-mex than a Mexican restaurant but still very good. Place is a decent size not crowded for a week day lunch rush. Service was very good. Will dine here again

Soft shell salad with steak! Fast service. It's really a take out spot but you can eat there. Atmosphere respectful.

I ordered tacos. And I actually got tacos lol! You want a classic taco? This is definitely a good place to come. Lots of places have tacos but don't have a classic taco that you think of when you think tacos lol! They all have the jazzed up versions of tacos lol! We got two grilled chicken tacos, a shrimp taco, and a shrimp burrito. The tacos were delicious! The burrito was too much and whatever rice they use I don't like. But other than that I'll be back for more tacos!!!! It's got a really large shared parking lot so parking is easy enough to get. The girl at the counter was friendly. I used to come here years ago and they had tables everywhere but I guess now with COVID they limit the dining in or don't get much of it because there are only tables against the wall now. It's decorated like a taco a spot. It's clean which is always a plus for me! They have restrooms but I didn't go in them so can't speak for that. But over all it's a good taco spot!

So I forgot to take pics for 2 reasons . 1. The delivery came wayyy quicker than I expected and 2. It was delish and hadn't picked up my phone the entire time. I ordered the shrimp taco and the steak and chicken burrito. I am a huge shrimp snob and I expect it to taste fresh and be completely deveined so I was hesitant as I examined each shrimp before I took a bite. To my pleasant surprise the shrimp was clean, the salad crisp and green no soggy slices or anything. That taco was really scrumptious. The burrito was yummy as well. I was however expecting more meat, especially since I ordered chicken and steak. I did find that like most places they were heavy on the rice. I gave it a pass tho because it was just really fresh and flavorful. Great job to the kitchen for keeping up clean standards!!
