El Rey Dc Taqueria Mexican Beer Garden

We have ordered tacos here since they opened at the U Street location. Tacos made my owner were amazing. We enjoyed them so much that we would order the 12 taco platter. Now that the owner has opened at the downtown food court the U Street location has gone down hill. Tonight's 12 taco platter had about half the lamb, beef, and mushrooms as we usually receive. As soon as we opened the lid of the container we could tell that these tacos were made by someone who did not really care about making great food. Unless the owner starts dropping in to make sure that the employees take making traditional tacos to the highest standards then we will have to find a much better place for tacos. The website has a 6% service fee that is not disclosed until checkout. A zero tip returned an error. The $2.00 tip we paid was excessive for the quality of the service we received at the window.

Ordered the xochi platter which has tacos and birria tacos but was missing the salsas for my tacos and I don't know if the birria tacos come with consume but it was missing the consume but overall taqueria xochi is my favorite everything is so delicious and their mangonadas are better than the mangonadas for la michoacana!Update: the food is good but a little pricey !

My god. The BEST taco I have had so far. Well done meat and made to perfection. Too bad they don’t have a full restaurant and it’s only window service because this could be a very successful

This is seriously amazing tacos and the mangoneada was sooo good. Will be coming here at least once a week lol also these are by far the most authentic Mexican tacos I’ve been able to find in DC!

Hands down one of the best taco spots in the area. The food is amazing. The Birria tacos and consommé is off the charts. The salsa’s on the side also complement the food they serve. It’s takeout only and they have two windows but no entry to the store front building. It’s convenient for those walking(U street) but driving to pick your food up is a headache seeing the parking is scarce everywhere in that area. If you wanna sit down I believe they recently opened a new location in a food hall. Well worth it!
