Comparing McLulu's tacos to El Rey's is like comparing a McDonald's hamburger to one at Del Barrachos.
Alan....El Rey del Taco is on Juarez, which is the next through street parallel and to the north of Salvetierri, about a half block west of the Pemex
on Juarez closest to the malecon. It is well worth the time to search it out....

The inside story....
Tacos El Rey does it their own way.... Open when they want to be, closed when they want to be....
So you know ahead of time . . . (we learned this the hard way.... (slow way)):
People SEATED inside get service first.
People STANDING inside get served second.
People at the walk-up windowget served next (last)....
and it doesn't seem to us to matter who was there first or last....
Save youself our frustrating experience (years ago) of waiting at the walk-up window for an hour while EVERYone else in town (and a stray dog) got
their food.... No matter they JUST walked in and we'd been waiting nearly an hour. A few locals snickered and avoided eye contact, so we knew
SOMETHING was up.... Finally a local Loretano neighbor told us our fopaw
NOW we look back and laugh at our "initiation" 
Its all just stuff and some numbers.
A day spent sailing isn\'t deducted from one\'s life.
Peace, Love, and Music

Thank you Bill. It will definitely be on my list. Headed south in the morning but I will have my boat in tow so it will make it a little difficult
to drive around looking for a restaurant but I'll be down there for six months so I'm sure I'll get a chance to try it.

I introduced my kids to their first fish tacos at McLulu's about 20 years ago and they have insisted on stopping there ever since whenever we pass
through but now I can't wait to try El Reys.

We have "dined" on tacos at both McLulu's and El Rey. We much prefer McLulu's, but opinions do vary.
