I've been to multiple king taco locations, and this one is just as good as the others. The food is always consistent, the staff is friendly, and everything is fresh and delicious. I've tried the tacos, burritos, sopes, and everything has been great. I'll definitely keep coming back to this location! read more

This is my second time at this location and I love it! Not sure if it's because of the area but its not over crowded and the taco portions are great!! The meat tastes fresh and they're quick! The dining area is large so plenty of seating is available. I'll definitely be stopping by again when I'm in that area. read more

We visited on a weekend lunch, and while the restaurant was busy, there was only one person taking order, so I recommend ordering ahead if possible. Fortunately once we were able to order didn't have to wait too long for the food to come. Ordered my standard (all meat burrito). I found this location to be fairly generous with meat compared to the other spots. In fact the one burrito was really filling, whereas generally I need to add at least an additional taco. There was plenty of seating. However no street parking given the location, so we had to park in mall, which was a bit of a walk read more

We were starving and my daughter chose this place to eat. Close by and the prices seemed reasonable plus free parking, so I was game. Short line. Many choices to choose from. I LOVE a good tamale so the cheese with jalapenos sounded like a good choice. It tasted good, but I've tasted better. Tried the tacos. Good thing I ordered two, because they were SO TINY!! At the price I paid, I expected a little more. Plenty of places to sit. Clean. Would I come back? MAYBE... read more

I was hungry from shopping at the Glendale Galleria and wanted some food wanted to eat somewhere away from all of the foot traffic in the food court. I ended up on Broadway between Brand and Artsakh. There I saw the cool King Taco sign and had to go in. Nice and huge wooden tables with red chairs. A great post of the founder. Established in 1974. Screens with food items. So many delicious Mexican food options. Quick and efficient cooking staff. Fast paced cashier. I ordered 2 tamales and a horchata to drink. The food came out fast and great portions. The sauce on the side was nice and spicy. Loved this place. Will come back again. read more

I got food poisoning here!!!!! Their carne asada burrito and guacamole had me throwing up all night and I'm still not feeling okay!!!!

It's been a while since I visited a King Taco. It has to have been years. I was craving a burrito and we happened to be in the area, so we said let's try! I ordered a carne asada burrito and taco, but the meat was extremely tough and tasted old - as if it had been overcooked and sitting a while. Portion size was good and the salsa roja had heat, which I love. The cashier was really nice too and got our order out within minutes. Unfortunately, it's going to be really hard to visit again after the bad burrito and taco. Place was nice and clean and has additional seating left of the cashier past the doorway. read more

I ordered three chicken quesadillas. One quesadilla was stuck to another. They were cheesy and had the right amount of chicken. It also had salsa which I wasn't expecting. The inside of the restaurant is big. There were at least a dozen tables. Service was not too bad. I got the quesadillas in 10 minutes or less. read more

Nice customer service and a clean location. Free parking was a convenient bonus. I ordered a carne asada burrito, and they prepared it quickly, even calling me up to the counter to make sure my order was right. The red sauce was delicious, but the burrito itself was a bit lackluster--there wasn't much flavor, and the rice had veggies mixed in, which I'm not a fan of. read more

My wife was born and raised in LA and introduced me to King Taco on one of our first dates. We have since made it a mission to try to visit all of their locations. This is my favorite location. The parking is convenient. In a lot around the block that offers 90 minutes of free parking. Seating is decent. There are two dining rooms that usually have available seats. The reason it's our favorite though is the food. The burrito and nachos are always packed with meat. Everything tastes fresh and the wait is usually pretty quick. We ordered this weekend, with a decent crowd, and had our food within 10 minutes. As a LA staple, I can't speak highly enough of King Taco. If you haven't checked it out, definitely give it a try! read more

I got a to go order, but when I got home, the taco count was wrong--I was missing three. I'm so angry and upset. I had to wait a long time, too; the service is just too slow slow.... read more

Food is always good, service is slow, and there's no point in placing an order over the phone because they don't start making it until you get there. read more

I enjoy coming here. Tacos and burritos always taste fresh and really good. Love their Carne Asada and Alpastor. They make a really good Horchata. Great customer service. There is a parking garage behind it. There is always a lot of seating even during busy hours. read more

King Taco - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

Ordered 3 tacos and a combo burrito. It took 15 minutes to complete and there were 4 other customers after us that got their food before us. I am not a fluent Spanish speaker and I'm not sure if it was missed because they were calling out the numbers in Spanish. We asked the manager what happened to our order and he said the ticket was misplaced. While he apologized profusely we were not happy. I haven't been to this location in over 6 years and now I remember why read more

gave this location another try. same experience. terrible service. long wait. my sope & tacos not hot. hard pass.

My whole family LOVES King Taco. I've grown up with this food, so it's extremely nostalgic for me. For years, we've made trips to LA, trying to secure some extra red sauce for the family, and then freezing some to enjoy later. The sauce alone makes the drive worth it. I'm also a big fan of the sopes here! Are they the best ever? No, but they're still delicious. I truly don't understand the negative reviews for Kt in general, hoping this remains a family staple forever! read more

King Taco - Carne Asada Sopes - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, California

The long wait was frustrating, but what disappointed me the most was the lack of respect and professionalism. After waiting over 40 minutes for my order, I calmly spoke to the manager about my experience. Instead of showing empathy or trying to resolve the issue, my children saw her laughing after I walked away.As a parent, that was heartbreaking. My kids have been taught to treat everyone with kindness and respect, and they were genuinely shocked to see an adult especially a manager, someone who represents a business behave that way toward a customer. No child should have to witness that kind of example.Customer service isn't just about serving food; it's about treating people with dignity. I truly hope King Taco addresses this because every customer deserves respect. read more

Slowest service ever, 30 minute wait for food so far. Gotta do better. The order taker, in fact all the staff, could barely speak English. On the upside, the food was quite good and it was inexpensive. read more

I've never eaten a taco at King Taco (vegetarianism), so I can't speak to tacos which is what most people get here obviously. What I will say is that the cheese jalapeño tamales are underrated. I'm always pleased at the flavor and texture of the tamales. I also love the horchata here, I don't know what brand it is or if they make it in-house, but it's really good. This location has a lot of seating and the service was quick when I went. Some employees only speak Spanish but it's easy to communicate with them, so it's not really an issue. read more

The food is good - very poor service. They wait for you to ask for your order before they make it. Speaks little English. The girl in the counter so awful i asked not to put cilantro. So when i checked my receipt it says no onions no cilantro which she never said they do it together and she was too lazy to ask the guys preparing the food so i had to ask another lady for help. Then you have to wait more than 30 mins - Never coming back here again awful service!!! read more

This is by far the worst King Taco location I have visited. The customer service is consistently poor, the food often tastes old, and they frequently get orders wrong. If I could give negative stars, I would. To make matters worse, the restaurant is rarely clean. The tables are often dirty, and the overall cleanliness of the location leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, the poor service, inaccurate orders, and lack of cleanliness make this a place I would not recommend. read more

I ordered 2 sopes. Super hard at bottom of sopes. I hardly could chew it. I ask and they said you need to order them soft when ordering them. I never ordered them like that in my life. The guy in front of me noticed that the food maker dropped a taco and was trying to give it back to him in his bag and he caught it and he asked the manager and told him what happened. This place is going downhill fast. read more

well, it took them a while to understand me when they made the burrito wrong when I asked burrito with extra meat and Mexican cheese I called and was hung up on many times, but ultimately called and made it right by giving me the right order that I placed so it took a while. I didn't know if they would ever get around to doing it but they did so keep giving it a try with this place. I've been going there for 34 years pico and Union and Pasadena, Glendale Cypress and many other king Tacos or California. read more

Tacos were great! I feel like King Taco is an LA staple. We got Al pastor tacos and chicken tamales for our group. I was let down by how disorganized the pickup area was. They were pretty backed up with tickets but they calls numbers an if no one came they just kept calling the same number until someone came up to the counter...when they probably could've helped other people waiting in line. read more

My wife wanted to stop by here today for lunch after our doctor appointment in Burbank. We parked across the street in the parking structure and walked to this place. They were not busy at all right at noon. I saw they now accepts online order and also encourage you to make an account with them to get points. I got four carne asada tacos, my wife got her sopes with carne asada and her horchata. They made our food quick because by the time we sat down, they called our order. I just asked for the red salsa and that's what they give me. The tacos here good and my wife loved her sopes. An employee walked up to us and asked if we needed anything. So the customer service we experienced today was good. read more

This location deserves an overall 5 Star rating! Oh my goodness! I cannot start by saying how amazing of an experience I had this morning (I always have a great experience here but today surpassed any other by far!) by the lovely ladies that attended us. The 3 beautiful ladies that were working from 10:00-11:00am Sunday May 31st are the absolute sweetest, the customer service I received was the best I've ever received in my life (surpassed any king taco by far). My food preparer was the best food preparer I have ever met. My food was perfectly prepped, not sloppy, nice and fresh, the perfect amount of everything and her customer service was even better. I didn't get her name but she was a younger, light complexion, tall woman. She was just amazing! Please give her a raise! She needs to be a manager! I have to say that the guys on the afternoon/evening shift are great as well, I can never ever complain about anything at this location, I always love the vibe, but I promise there's no one like this woman! If only every king taco was as awesome as this one. Food perfect, staff great, and her as a manager would add the cherry on top! This is truly the best king taco that I've been to!!! I've traveled to every king taco from Santa Clarita to Riverside, and none compare to this one in Glendale! I'm shook at the 2.5 review, that's ridiculous! I read through them and tbh, most are bias af, If you know king taco restaurants, you'll know that the complaints they're making are irrelevant. I've been going to king taco restaurants my whole life and I know that most of these complaints are either petty or things that you can be expected in a super busy heavy traffic fast food chain restaurant. It is what it is, there is mobile order available if you're in a rush, even though in my opinion it's never taken "too long" to receive my order when I walk up! Over all, I have to admit that this location is just amazing and the best compared to most king tacos! IYKYK!!! I've been a customer of king tacos for 30 years and have been coming to this location for about 4 years now. Thanks for being awesome staff, please never change, and promote this woman to manager please! read more

Over 40 minutes for a burrito and 2 tacos. They prioritize online (uber eats, door dash...) over people who are in the actual restaurant. The food ultimately was just ok. I will NOT be returning to king taco. This was a huge waste of time and money for me. read more

Good food at a good price. The quality wasn't amazing, but it was solid. Ironically, I enjoyed the non-taco items at King Taco. I visited on New Year's Eve at 6 pm. Service was quick and fast despite the holiday bustle. There was a bit of a language barrier, as the cashier was more comfortable speaking Spanish, but I experienced zero issues with service. - Pork Tamale ($3.35). I wasn't impressed by the cracked appearance of my tamale. Fortunately, the masa was nice and moist. The shredded pork was flavorful, not too salty and appropriately sauced. It didn't need anything else, but the salsas enhanced it. King Taco's tamale ranked high for me across the tamales from various food trucks/stands and restaurants I've had in in the past. - Chicken Flautas ($8.50 - 4 pcs). The flautas were just alright, but the toppings were somehow amazing. I'm not sure what cheese was used, but it tasted extremely cheesy! The crema was good too. Lettuce and guacamole added freshness. I eagerly scooped the extra toppings onto my tamale. - Carnitas and Suadero Tacos ($2.14 each). I would probably pass on the tacos at King Taco lol. The tacos were served street style: two small corn tortillas per taco topped with onion and cilantro. The tortillas tasted a little sour, so they were not the freshest. As for the meat, the carnitas was just okay: tender, but not porky. The suadero meat was hard, as most of the fat rendered out, yet tasted great - very beefy. - Quesadilla with Suadero ($6.99). The quesadilla was a little dry, but I appreciated how it was not oily on the outside. I enjoyed the layers of the flour tortilla. All of the house salsas were delicious! The green sauce was like a tomatillo salsa with a lot of citrus flavor, which made it special. The red sauce was like a spicy chipotle based salsa. The avocado one had something else in it that made it taste good, but I can't remember. read more

Brooo every single time I come it gets worse and worse! Phone orders don't matter because they don't put your order in until you get here... then make everyone else's food so it's treated as if you are barely just ordering! They barely put any cheese on the asada nachos now. So today, I told my bf I want something fast to just take home. Instead of placing a phone order bc of what's mentioned above, we come and place the order and have been waiting for over 30 minutes for 2 tacos and 2 sopes. Unfortunately, King Taco has lost me as a loyal customer. read more

I placed an online order on Friday 03-27-2026 around 7:47pm and went to the store here in Glendale King Taco #29 @ 117 E. Broadway. I ordered 1x chicken flauta, 1x sope, 3x taco (asada) and 2x tamal sweet. When I got to the store, the guy at the pick up counter told me that they just ran out of the tamal sweet. So I said to just cancel the tamal. I thought the other guy who stepped in was going to give me my refund but he just ended up talking to one of the cashiers. I didn't understand what they were talking about but I guess he was explaining to her that my order was placed online. When the cashier was available to speak with me, she told me that since I placed the order online that I would have to cancel the tamal order online as well as they can not give me a refund or cancel just the tamal. They would have to cancel my entire order. She toldme that I can cancel it online. I tried doing it at the store but I couldn't figure it out so I decided to just go home and figure it out there. But when I got home, there is no way that I could cancel the specific item that was not available let alone an option to edit or cancel my order. So I called the store, spoke to Bernice (i think is what she said) and told her that I can't cancel my order online. She put me on hold and said to wait as she tried to figure it out and look at her phone. She couldn't figure it out either and just referred me to contact customer service. I tried to email that night the listed contact info on the website: customerservice@kingtaco.net but no response. I sent a follow up email on Monday 03/30/26 and I still haven't had any response whatsoever as of todays writing this 04/01/2026. read more

I ordered 4 Toaco's and the attendant gave me 1 Hot Sauce. I had to buy 2 hot sauce at the price of .99 cents each little serving for me to enjoy. They said their Policy is 1 Hot Sauce per every 3 Tacos. That's not enough. That's a bad policy to charge more for sauce. It's like asking for a cup of water and requesting a refill, they would charge for that. It's quite a horrible policy. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE wow ... I hate leaving bad reviews but the guy working on our order today was not professional and super rude. I asked for an extra salsa and he gave me a little to be spiteful for the inconvenience and chucked it at me.. I have a food place I run myself and this sort of service is absolutely forbidden. Please tell your employees to treat customers better. Good service is a part of customers coming back, but unfortunately this is not the first time I had a bad experience with the service at this location. I decided to write about it today because todays service was really out of line. I am never going back to this location. read more
