Los Angeles, CA 90006

Founded in 1974, King Taco originated from a converted ice cream truck in East LA, quickly gaining popularity for its authentic Mexican fast food. Over the years, it has expanded to 22 locations and has been recognized by prominent food critics as one of the few surviving original restaurants in Los Angeles.

King Taco's early days are captured in a tribute painting by artist Ricardo Barragan, showcasing the nostalgic experience of ordering tacos from their first location on 3rd Street. With a focus on community and tradition, King Taco continues to serve its beloved menu items to fans across the city.
