King Taco

Founded in 1974, King Taco began its journey from a converted ice cream truck in East Los Angeles, quickly gaining popularity for its authentic Mexican food. Over the years, it has expanded to 22 locations, becoming a beloved staple in the Los Angeles dining scene and recognized by prominent food critics.

The restaurant's history is celebrated through artwork, such as a tribute painting by Ricardo Barragan, which highlights the original marquee sign and early operational style. Initially operating as a walk-up service in the 1980s, King Taco has maintained its commitment to quality and tradition, establishing itself as one of the few surviving original restaurants in Los Angeles.
