Taco King

Founded in 1974, King Taco began its journey from a converted ice cream truck stationed next to an East LA bar. The venture, started by Don Raúl and Doña Lupe, quickly gained popularity and has since expanded to 22 locations, serving a diverse array of authentic Mexican dishes recognized by food critics.

King Taco is celebrated as one of the few surviving original Los Angeles restaurants, with a rich history illustrated in painter Ricardo Barragan's tribute to its early days. Initially operating as an order-to-go service in the 1980s, customers enjoyed their tacos right from their cars, embracing a vibrant community-oriented dining experience.
