If you’re craving authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price, look no further than El Rey Moro Taco Shop in Pacific Beach.
\nPreviously Tacos Mi Ranchos, El Rey Moro is a family-owned and operated business in a strip mall at 5010 Cass St. It is part of a local small chain of Mexican eateries.
\nProprietors Alexandra Santana and Amadeo Garcia serve up delicious Mexican cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
\n“It’s fun, there’s a lot of people that go by, a lot of passersby,” said Santana about their corner location. “We get a lot of people going to the beach. There’s a good surfing spot close by.”
\nEl Rey Moro’s menu is extensive, featuring about a dozen different types of burritos and half a dozen or more tostadas.
\n“We have all the basics,” said Santana, noting that menudo, a Mexican soup, is “served all day, every day” along with other fresh authentic Mexican food and even vegetarian dishes.
\nThe eatery makes nearly all its dishes from scratch using fresh ingredients.
\nAnother specialty of the house is Taco Tuesdays, where customers can get a street taco with meat of their choice for $1.49 all day.
\nSantana said the busiest days are Thursdays through Saturdays, adding the busiest time to come is during lunch.
\n“If you want to come and have a peaceful time, do not come from 11a.m. to 1:30 p.m.,” she said. “Come any other time.”
\nLoosely translated in Spanish, El Rey Moro means “king of the horses.”
\nEl Rey Moro is also available for catering.
