Taqueria El Rey keeps its menu focused rather than sprawling, built around a few things done well: char-grilled chicken and birria tacos are the specialties customers keep coming back for, alongside tacos al pastor, adobo chicken, and house-made chorizo. Salsas are made in-house, and a full bar rounds things out with margaritas.
The room reads clean and modern rather than themed-out, and the restaurant has built a strong repeat customer base on a stretch of Southwest Detroit known for its Mexican food options.
