King Taco, a beloved Mexican fast-food establishment, opened its doors in 1974 from a humble ice cream truck. Originally stationed next to an East LA bar, the founders, Don Raúl and Doña Lupe, quickly gained popularity for their authentic Mexican cuisine. Since then, King Taco has grown to 22 locations, maintaining its reputation as one of the original culinary staples in Los Angeles.

Ricardo Barragan's painting at King Taco pays homage to its early days, capturing the essence of the original marquee sign and the bustling 3rd street location. In the 1980s, customers would flock to the order-to-go setup, walking up to the windows to savor their tacos on the hoods of their cars, embracing a unique dining experience rooted in tradition.
