Founded in 1974, King Taco began its journey from a converted ice cream truck in East Los Angeles and quickly became a popular destination for authentic Mexican fast food. Today, it has expanded to 22 locations and is recognized as one of the few original surviving restaurants in Los Angeles.
The iconic establishment serves a wide variety of Mexican dishes and has earned accolades from prominent food critics. A notable tribute to its history includes a painting by Ricardo Barragan, which highlights the original marquee sign and the location where customers once ordered tacos from their cars.
