Was it planned or was it fate?
However it happened, Taqueria El Rey is celebrating its seventh anniversary, July 2, on Taco Tuesday, and customers who crave authenticity in their Mexican cuisine will want to join the party.
The restaurant is one of several locally run by the Galvan family. La Cocina del Rey in Grovetown snags an avid breakfast crowd. Munchies Snacks in Martinez offers sweet and savory experiments imagined by the family’s culinary crew.
Taqueria El Rey, 3830 Washington Rd., specializes in variety and volume. Salsa lovers can sample the restaurant’s salsa bar with intensities for most every palate.
A “gringos” portion of the menu includes more commonly found entrees at other Mexican restaurants. Other dishes are more distinctive, such as the chicharron con cueritos: porkbelly and pork skins served with pico de gallo, cabbage, avocado, homemade salsa and a cream sauce.
