King Taco

King Taco, a beloved Mexican fast-food establishment in Los Angeles, traces its roots back to 1974 when it first opened its doors from a converted ice cream truck. Don Raúl and Doña Lupe, the founders, quickly gained popularity next to an East LA bar. Over the years, King Taco has expanded to 22 locations, offering a diverse menu of authentic Mexican dishes.

One unique aspect of King Taco is the artistic tribute by painter Ricardo Barragan to its early days, showcasing the original marquee sign and the 3rd street location. Back in the 80s, customers would flock to the order-to-go spot, placing their orders at the windows and enjoying their flavorful tacos on their car hoods. This nod to tradition adds to the charm of the King Taco experience.

With recognition from notable food critics and a legacy as one of the original Los Angeles restaurants, King Taco continues to be a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Offering a taste of Mexico in each bite, King Taco invites you to savor their iconic dishes at any of their convenient locations throughout the city.
