The Taco King - Mexican restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

not sure what happened to this place. came here a year ago and it was one of the better taco spots in HCM. anything in the PVC area alley is expected to be more expensive (310k, a lil over $12 USD).. got the chorizo and tinga tacos. much smaller portion than before, no lime. and my chicken quesadilla was shockingly small, like those free samples at Costco. the amount of chicken is laughable. as for the guacamole nachos, I thought they were an add on for the tacos, it was that small. I've never seen guac like that before. it was all onions and barely any avocado. talk about cutting corners. I'm not sure what happened to this place, but it went from being one the of the best to perhaps the worst in all of HCM. highly disappointed. definitely do not recommend this place now.

Food was amazing, for me, the best was: CHORIZO Tacos TINGA Tacos Salsa Verde Salsa Negra Salsa Loca By far, really far, the best Mexican Salsas. Authentic Flavors !!! Carnitas Tacos were also good, and same for Suadero. But my favorite Taco was Chorizo by far. If you are looking for good Tacos, and the best Mexican Salsas, you must go there.

Drank and wanted a snack. Remembered seeing this place earlier in the night. Ordered a beef, chicken and pork tacos. Cost was $140K dong which is around $5 USD. Food came out quickly. Sat and ate at the stall. Tacos were good in size, tasty and good value. The best thing? The spicy hot sauce which was mildly spicy and tangy. A really good topper. Glad I stopped by and would definitely go back!

While seating at a bar I ask for tue Quesadilla , they aloud us on the bar to eat there , very taste with good amount of cheese and meet , the green salsa was super

This is a street vendor next to Khoai. It is open late and only late - 7 pm till 2 am, but the girl working said they may be open till 4 am Friday & Saturday (closed Mondays). There are a couple of picnic benches right next to it. I tried a 3-piece taco set, 150K/$5.90. The price is about standard for HCMC, as far as I've seen. Usually, a taco in HCMC is 50-60K unless it's a Tuesday. These were standard size for Vietnam; they use small tortillas. They were stuffed pretty well with meat (I got beef). The quesadilla is 120K/$4.70. I tried the chicken. It was perhaps standard size, but it wasn't as stuffed as much as I'd have hoped. The taste was avg-good. I had all 3 tacos and the quesadilla, and still wasn't really full despite not being all that hungry beforehand. As a 270K/$10.60 snack, there's a lot of local food you can get for that price. It's okay.
