El Taco Rey

El Taco Rey is an awesome downtown cafe that has been under the great care of the Aguilar family since 1976. It's often tough to find a seat in the small eatery during lunch hours, but something generally opens up pretty quick and there's also seating on the patio.  I had the Thursday special...4 shredded beef taqitos on a bed of lettuce and guacamole, served with rice, beans and a flour tortilla with drink for just $8.99.  The food is consistantly delicous.  There's plenty of free parking in the lot directly behind the restaurant, accessible from Wasatch Street.
