Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is available, but can be tricky in the late hours. Check Rey De Reyes' social media for nightly parking location updates.
Dress code: Casual – no need for anything fancy, jeans and a T-shirt are perfect for grabbing a late-night bite.
Noise level: Low – it's a food truck, so it's quiet and relaxed for conversation while enjoying your tacos.
Weekend wait: Expect short waits, as the truck tends to get busy after midnight but moves quickly.
Weekday lunch: No wait typically since it's a food truck with quick service.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited – a couple of options like veggie tacos are available.
Vegan options: Limited – while there's no dedicated vegan menu, there are some vegan-friendly taco fillings available.
Gluten-free options: Yes – though cross-contamination is possible, gluten-free tacos can be made upon request.
Best For
