Founded in 1974, King Taco originated from a converted ice cream truck, quickly gaining popularity for its authentic Mexican cuisine. Over the years, the restaurant has expanded to 22 locations, becoming a beloved staple in the Los Angeles area, recognized by food critics as one of the few surviving original eateries.

The painting by Ricardo Barragan pays tribute to King Taco's early days, featuring the original marquee sign and the location on 3rd Street. Initially serving customers via an order-to-go window, diners enjoyed their tacos from the hoods of their cars, a nostalgic nod to the brand's humble beginnings.
