Founded in 1974, King Taco began its journey from a converted ice cream truck, quickly gaining popularity next to an East LA bar. Today, it has expanded to 22 locations, serving a wide variety of authentic Mexican foods and earning recognition from prominent food critics as one of the few surviving original Los Angeles restaurants.
The history of King Taco is celebrated through various tributes, including a painting by Ricardo Barragan that highlights its origins. Originally operating as a walk-up service in the 1980s, customers would place their orders at a window and enjoy their tacos on the hoods of their cars.
