King Taco, a beloved Mexican fast-food establishment, traces its roots back to 1974 when it started as a humble taco truck in East LA, founded by Don Raúl and Doña Lupe. Since then, it has grown to become a popular chain with 22 locations, offering a diverse range of authentic Mexican dishes that have garnered praise from food critics.
A nod to its history, King Taco's iconic marquee sign and the original 3rd street location are immortalized in a painting by artist Ricardo Barragan. In the 80s, this spot operated as an order-to-go joint where customers would line up at the windows, adding a touch of nostalgia to the dining experience by enjoying their tacos on the hoods of their cars.
