Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

One stop here and you'll find it hard to eat Mexican cuisine anywhere else in the Lincoln area. I'm serious. Managed to stumble upon this hole-in-the-wall madre y padre eatery on accident last summer while getting my haircut across the street. Driving down 27th Street you're almost surely to miss it, but this my friends is one of Lincoln's best kept secrets. The food is exquisite. A landlocked individual such as myself has to wonder, "Is this how Mexican places are in the southwest?" Worth every penny. Fresh, quality ingredients that are bound to provide an epiphany of sorts for your taste buds. Plus, burritos are $3.50 on Fridays. Chipotle-sized burritos that taste even better than Chipotle.

As authentic as Mexican food gets. This is the real deal. Sopes, tortas, real Mexican tacos, everything here is good. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Refrieds are excellent smoky flavor, real Mexican cheese, flautas were really crispy. Good red salsa, green salsa and thick tasty chips. Small but family run and busy.

Five stars for Mexican food in Lincoln and taco Tuesdays! I have only been there once so I cant speak for the rest of the menu yet, but the tacos are quite delicious. I definitely recommend giving this "hole in the wall" a try-I especially enjoyed the cheek meat taco. Fatty and oh so good. Great service and they also have Mexican bottled sodas and other Mexican drinks. Oh and Mexican candy by the register! I'll definitely be back. Eating tacos here will make you never want to return to your local fast food joint.

This place was good. The service was fast, the staff is very friendly. The food is your usual selection of TexMex or southwestern US-Mexican food. The portions were very big and it's nice that they accept credit card and cash. They also have a good selection of other authentic Mexican products, like sodas and candy.

If you ever have the misfortune of visiting Lincoln NE at least they have very good Mexican food, not sure what else to say if you want mexican this is a must. Get the pork tacos.

This is definitely my favorite Mexican food joint in town. Growing up in East LA I got pampered with really good Mexican food this is the only thing that comes close. I know they have a couple locations in Omaha, I personally like the Lincoln location much better. El Rey seems like it's family owned, there's one cook in the back but the orders are promptly served to you. Always fresh, always good! The location is nothing to brag about and it's really small but they've made the most out of it and they always seem to have an open seats. Highly recommend the torta de milanesa, and tacos with any of their meats.

Very good food. Service was excellent. Small place but very busy. Definitely worth visiting.

Great food but they act like they don't know what their Thursday special is for nachos! They also act like they don't understand English. Very dirty as well.

The space is really small, so I prefer to get take out here most of the time. They've allowed me to call ahead, which is cool. The burritos are really good. A previous reviewer suggested getting the lengua tacos. I was told they no longer have lengua. But everything I've had there has been legit. The prices are really reasonable, so I will for sure continue to return here.

Wow, small but the food they make is so good, I'm betting this is the best mexican food in Nebraska. It's very authentic and very affordable. It's definitely worth a try if you're in the neighborhood.

Closer to 3 1/2 but i i will give it a four rather then a three. The place is has cheap, typical mom and pop mexi decor but who cares, I go for the food. It is good. Service is spotty at times but that does not bother me much because the joint is small and all you have to do is wave your server over for more drinks or salsa refills. The carnitas are good and the salsa's are very good. The food leans to wards rustic so if you think Taco Bell is good mexican food, it might be a stretch for you. I have not tried the other highly rated mexi place in town so until then, this is my #1.

Very very small joint, set back in a parking lot next to what I believe is an auto place and a hair salon. Their daily specials are worth checking out -- burritos are 3.50 M&F, and are giant. So so good. The staff is all very friendly and knows me when I come in. The tacos, although small, are cheap and go on special twice a week for .99 - so buy four or five of different meats and make those a meal. My favorite thing I normally get is a chicken burrito, but the pastor and lengua is also really good and I haven't tried something that I didn't like. For what it's worth, this is my favorite mexican place in town -- even without margaritas! Credit cards are accepted for purchases over $5!
(5)Kristin R.
Perhaps the best lengua tacos I have every consumed. They make me happy. I try to order other items, and I have, and when I do stray from my usual, I am quite happy. However, I am addicted to their lengua tacos. If you have not been, then you must go. Go right now. Chop, chop!
(5)Shaun S.
Great place, ordered some chicken and pork tacos. Both were very good. Nice folks too and the prices are good.

Being from southern California, I frequently get an itch for Mexican food. This is the only place in town that is tasty enough to scratch that itch. I've been to many of the other recommended Mexican places on Yelp, but none have been nearly as good as Taqueria El Rey. Make sure you choose al pastor (pork) for the meat, it's the best one. The chicken is good too though. I would recommend their tacos, tortas, and pozole. I've tried a burrito and combo plate, and it wasn't good compared to some of the other menu items.

Authentic and tasty taqueria with a good choice of meats and all the traditional dishes. Friendly servers and staff. Minimal decor but clean and comfortable, with parking in front. It's about half a block south of O St., on the east side of 27th, set back from the street. (This is the Lincoln branch of the Omaha taquerias.) We had 4 different tacos - chicken, carnitas, chicharron (pork rind), and cachete (beef cheek). All were excellent. Also a sopa (thick corn cake) topped with puerco al pastor, and two quesadillas - lengua (tongue) and puerco al pastor. Needless to say, that was way too much for two people, and we took much of it home. There's a selection of non-alcoholic drinks including horchata, including some Mexican bottled drinks.

Found on yelp. Small and rustic. In a parking lot about 20 yards east of 27th street. We've been to mexican restaurants all across the country. This place had some of the best homemade mexican food we have ever eaten at rock bottom prices. Burritos were so big we couldn't eat them all - and we were hungry! Horchata was also homemade and delicious. You don't want to miss this place.
