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. Since then, King Taco has grown to 22 popular locations, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes that have earned recognition from prominent food critics.
Painter Ricardo Barragan pays tribute to King Taco's early days with a nostalgic painting showcasing the original marquee sign and the iconic 3rd street location from the 80s. Known for its originality and enduring legacy, King Taco stands as one of the few surviving original Los Angeles restaurants, where customers can still enjoy their tacos the old-fashioned way - on the hood of their cars.
