King Taco, a beloved Mexican fast food favorite, traces its roots back to 1974 when founders Don Raúl and Doña Lupe started serving authentic Mexican cuisine from a converted ice cream truck in East LA. Over the years, King Taco has grown to 22 popular locations, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes that have garnered praise from prominent food critics.
Painter Ricardo Barragan's tribute to the early King Taco days, featuring the original marquee sign and the iconic 3rd Street location, captures the essence of the restaurant's humble beginnings. With a commitment to accessibility and inclusion, King Taco remains one of the few surviving original Los Angeles restaurants, continuing to serve up tasty tacos and a taste of nostalgia for its loyal customers.
