Taco Loco

I have been craving the tamales from El Rey’s for MONTHS! (Beijing doesn’t have the best Mexican…) Finally today — craving satisfied. PLUS — fish tacos — cause it’s Friday and this is Wisconsin. Yum!

Hidden in a grocery store, this Mexican restaurant is authentic (you can get tongue tacos!) and reasonably priced. The portions are huge.
One sort of annoying thing was that our waitress feigned that she didn’t know much English when our orders came out wrong. I know she was feigning because we heard her speaking pretty darn good English to another table, but when we asked about the order mess up, she acted like she didn’t understand. So we switched to our poor Spanish which seemed to improve the situation. But it made us feel shades of stupid and like bad customers.
I get it, it was 4pm on a Sunday and the place was crowded and she was probably looking to get off work soon but still, we weren’t placing special orders or anything. I just wanted my rice and beans and one of my fellow diners wanted the five tacos he paid for as opposed to the three she brought out.
Despite that, it’s still a four star experience. Plus when you’re done eating, you can do some grocery shopping. I suggest hitting the bakery and getting some Mexican wedding cookies and churros.

Inexpensive, good Mexican food. I enjoy the quesadilla with chicken and a side of avocado.
