The Visit:
Located just up the hill from downtown, Los Reyes is one of many taco shops in the area. As far as taco shops go it is pretty standard but has a more open feeling, that is, it probably seats about 40 and you can see the cooks and grills in the back. One unique thing, it kinda has a deli. The menu has a good selection of seafood, a breakfast menu, and even promotes a few fruit smoothies. Even with it being located on the bus line it never feels overwhelmingly crowded.
For lunch today we had planned on reviewing Humberto's which is conveniently located right across the street. After seeing the lunch crowd there we decided we would just go across the street. Our order only took about 10 minutes even with a small line in front of us. The Horchata was a good size for the price. The cinnamon left something to be desired and it was faintly chalky. The Carne Asada burrito that we received was fairly large. The meat was alright, but it was overwhelmed by an unusual amount of fresh pico de gallo poured into the burrito. At one point the there was a solid stream pouring out of the bottom of the burrito. Delicious overall, but it proved to make quite a mess.
Our suggestions & comments: Easy on the Pico, Ask for Napkins [Oddly enough they seem to keep the napkins behind the counter... kinda weird]
