King Taco, a beloved Mexican fast-food favorite, has been serving authentic Mexican cuisine since its humble beginnings in 1974. Started by Don Raúl and Doña Lupe from a converted ice cream truck, King Taco quickly gained popularity when it parked next to an East LA bar. Today, with 22 locations, King Taco continues to delight customers with its wide variety of delicious Mexican dishes, earning recognition from prominent food critics and remaining as one of the few surviving original Los Angeles restaurants.
Ricardo Barragan, a talented painter, pays homage to King Taco's early days in his artwork, featuring the original marquee sign and the iconic 3rd street location. In the 80s, this location operated as order-to-go, where customers would walk up to the windows to place their orders and enjoy their tacos on the hood of their cars. With a rich history and a commitment to providing mouthwatering Mexican cuisine, King Taco invites customers to visit any of their multiple locations and experience the taste of true Mexican flavors.
