King Taco, founded in 1974, started as a humble taco truck in East LA and has since grown to 22 popular locations, serving a wide variety of authentic Mexican foods. Recognized by prominent food critics, King Taco remains one of the few surviving original Los Angeles restaurants, with a rich history dating back to its early days as a beloved local favorite.
Painter Ricardo Barragan pays tribute to King Taco's roots with a painting highlighting the original marquee sign and the iconic 3rd street location from the 80s, where customers would walk up to windows to place orders and enjoy their tacos on the hood of their cars. With a commitment to accessibility and inclusion, King Taco continues to be a cherished Mexican fast food destination for locals and visitors alike.
