El Rey Taqueria - Table reservation

Well it's not quite California taqueria because well it's in Norfolk BUT if this was a little hole in the wall in SoCal I'd come back. If you've had SoCal Mexican and you like it that's all you need to read. If you've been east coast Mexican food all your life give this a shot WITH an open mind because SoCal is different. In my opinion both styles are good but it's hard to compare. This place has FRESH , I mean making them while I'm ordering, tortillas. Food is cooking as you walk in. It's a hole in the wall place and those are my favorite! We had all the picture below and ate everything! Cali burrito was good. Fries were good. The Carne asada was excellent! Barbacoa taco amazing!

Been looking for a legit taco shop since leaving home. Lots of Mexican restaurants but no taco shops near us. A coworker recommended this place to my husband, so we made the 20min drive and ate here so our food wouldn’t be cold and soggy. 10/10 highly recommend, will definitely be eating here again. I got the California burrito, my husband got the barbacoa plate. Everything was very good, if we lived closer I’d eat here regularly.

Super good food. Order the carne asada fries spicy with an El Rey burrito and you are eating good. Prices have gone up but it's very worth it. Fun staff in a small location but I've made a 45m drive to come to this place before!

Good hole in the wall. They are not the best tacos I've ever had in comparison to the ones in California but this will definitely satisfy your cravings. The ladies were nice and hard working. I would recommend!

Best Mexican food in the area. Super yum. They never disappoint. I think I've had every dish on the menu, and recommend it all.
