King Taco, founded in 1974 by Don Raúl and Doña Lupe, started as a humble taco truck parked next to an East LA bar and has since grown into a beloved Mexican fast-food chain with 22 locations. Serving a wide variety of authentic Mexican dishes, King Taco has garnered recognition from prominent food critics and remains one of the few surviving original restaurants in Los Angeles.
Ricardo Barragan's painting pays homage to the early days of King Taco, featuring the original marquee sign and the iconic 3rd street location where customers used to order-to-go and enjoy their tacos on the hoods of their cars. With a rich history and a commitment to quality, King Taco continues to be a favorite destination for Mexican cuisine in Los Angeles.
