King Taco, established in 1974, originated from a converted ice cream truck by Don Raúl and Doña Lupe. Situated next to an East LA bar, their taco truck quickly gained popularity. Today, King Taco boasts 22 locations, offering a diverse array of traditional Mexican fare that has garnered acclaim from notable food critics.
The iconic painter Ricardo Barragan commemorates King Taco's early days, capturing the essence of the original marquee sign and the 3rd street location. During the 80s, this spot operated on a walk-up basis, where patrons would order at the windows and relish their tacos on the hoods of their cars. King Taco stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of authentic Mexican cuisine in Los Angeles.
