King Taco LLC, founded in 1974, started as a humble taco truck in East LA before expanding to 22 popular locations. Known for serving authentic Mexican foods, King Taco has garnered recognition from prominent food critics and remains one of the few surviving original Los Angeles restaurants.
Painter Ricardo Barragan pays tribute to King Taco's early days with a painting highlighting the original marquee sign and the iconic 3rd street location. Customers in the 80s would walk up to the windows to place orders and enjoy their tacos on the hood of their cars, embodying the essence of King Taco's beginnings.
