Tacos El Rey, Brooklyn: Coney Island Avenue & Brighton Beach Avenue

Who would've thought? I've passed by this place a ton of times, but because of the location, I always assumed that it would be Taco-Bell style food. Not so at all. Two proper carnitas tacos will set you back $5.00, some change, and a tip. The tacos here are STUFFED with meat, topped with a bit of onions and cilantro, and a bit of salsa verde is applied to the top. The meat itself is devoid of any fat, so it was almost kind of dry, but tasty. I felt like the tacos could've used a bit more onions and cilantro. Some salsa verde on the side would've been nice, too. A lot of potential here. There aren't too many Mexican places I know of in this area, but this one ain't half-bad. A shame it took me so long to come here. Recommended to people who like lean meat and lots of it.





Sorry about the Google Streetview thing, I forgot to snap some flicks on the way out. But this ain't bad, kinda gives you a little map in the corner, huh?
