My first and last time ordering from King Taco. The Asada tacos and burrito were dry and had zero seasoning, all the red sauce could not make the Asada taste good. Never again! read more

Yummmm I love their carne asada. I get a burrito with extra meat and green sauce (no rice). The service was good! The people behind the counter were nice. I had a burrito for the ride home after work. Yay read more

King Taco - Carne asada burrito for the ride home! - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The service was awful trying to tell the lady making the food when she called my number seemed as she just hates being there, bad attitude The food is not how it used to be they really serve small portions on meat and more of everything else. I can see why more people just rather eat street vendor tacos. Won't be coming here again read more

The meat is always fresh. Sometimes there's a line but it's worth standing in. You can dine in or have it to go. They even do Door Dash! read more

King Taco - Carne Asada Sopes Simply delicious - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This was my go to favorite place back in the 80's. I ordered an al pastor burrito with the hottest chili and it was pretty good. It's a popular place to eat despite all the other Mexican fast food restaurants plus street vendors that are in the area. The inside hasn't changed at all over the decades this restaurant has been at this location. read more

King Taco - Al Pastor burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been a while and had a craving for it again. Hit this location at 11:30am and only 1 or 2 in line, so worked out perfect. After I had ordered, I saw the line had grown to at least half a dozen. So the magic time seems to be to get there before 11:30am. Got the usual all meat asada burrito. Still as good as always and the green salsa still makes my head drip sweat from the heat, yet cannot eat without it. Tortilla was kinda soaked looking, but didn't notice things being any greasier than before, so carne asada still my favorite. Also got all meat carnitas burrito to eat for dinner at home. Reconfirmed for myself that I always just prefer the carne asada personally. Just wanted to update the menu prices, since inflation hit King Taco as well of course. Thanks to inflation, I had to skip on the large horchata I loved to get before. Friendly workers as always. Glad to have this location so close to the bigger location some 200 yds away, since it's usually less crowd here:) read more

stingy w the meat. gave me one scoop and it only covered half the nachos. the other locations give much more. asked for extra and said itd be extrap read more

I haven't had King Taco in years. Decided to order some though Uber Eats to have it delivered to my home. I ordered two simple sopes, and three tacos. The sopes were for me one was supposed to be asada and the other Al pastor. Yet they made both asada didn't bother looking correctly at the order I had initially placed and paid for online. I had no issues with the uber eats driver who brought my order, but I did have a problem when I received the food and it was not the quality or what I had initially ordered. I called and a woman named Marta answered and when I told her the reason why I was calling she said " oh let me get the manager" waited and waited and waited on the line and no manager came to talk to me. I hung up and called back a few times and they didn't bother answering any of my calls I'm sure they saw it was me and ignored them! I will never ever order food from this location they have the worse customer service ever. If you want to pay a lot for a mediocre amount of meat they put on their food and also get your order wrong then this is the place to come. Not sure if I'll ever go to King Taco ever again, but definitely not this location where they don't care about the quality they prepare your food. I'm sticking to Tacos el Gavilan instead. They give better portions. read more

King Taco - A very poorly made sope with hardly any meat on it. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Chicken tinga Sopes, were amazing, especially with the geeen sauce on top. Carne asada burrito was very tasty but fell apart. Had to enjoy it with chips. We ordered it for delivery and it came a few minutes early which was a plus. Over-all great service and quality of food. read more

I love King Taco for their tacos the best is their Al Pastor is the best! And their Chicken Tameles! Omg and the price can't go wrong you will have amazing experience! read more

this LA staple has been in business for the past 50 years and i can see why. my food was ready within 1-5 minutes of placing my order, and the prices i found to be reasonable. the tacos are a little small for my liking but the tortillas were so soft and the meat so tender. both green and red salsas were spicy, with the red salsa being spicier than the green salsa. highly recommend trying out the tamarindo agua fresca. one thing that i found to be disappointing is the fact they do not offer limes at all, which in my opinion helps bring out the flavors. read more

Had to wait 15 minutes just to get my nachos while they went ahead 5 orders and then I literally see the guy on the line at 2:45pm give more meat to the girl who had barely just ordered, and then barely put anything on my nachos. The cherry on top was there still stingy with sauce after making me wait 15 minutes for my food read more

Reyna the manager was professional and helpful. The food is always great at king taco but making this review for this location because I went to the one across from here and that locations manager was not helpful what so ever. Thank you Reyna read more

Terrible service. You have to wait 15 minutes to order food and another 20 mins for the food to be prepared. Even though it's just tacos and Sopes. They are calling numbers 94,95 and 96 and we are still waiting for 74,75 and 76. There are 20 people in line now and only 1 lady to take orders and 2 people to prepare the food. The food isn't worth the wait. And with Sopes almost $5 each the cost isn't worth it either. Will not be back to this location. read more

Overall.... Disappointing. This King Taco place is an embarrassment to all the other locations. The one in Lynwood is way better. The one in E.LA is also good. This one dropped the ball from the very beginning with jacking up my order and making it seem like it was I that took it wrong. Then on top of that the cashier got an attitude. Then they still messed up my order when I received it. The asada meat was not drained so it was like a soup taco. The tortillas weren't soft, more like tostadas. Again, the explanation was that the meat comes that way. At least the Horchata was good. read more

Food is delicious always a family favorite. The sopes de carne asada are the best. The kids like the quesadillas and every time I go I have to have my tacos de cabeza. read more

They messed up with my 6 burritos! Not happy about it. They should double check if the order is what the customer ordered. Service is very bad. read more

Feelin' like an Angelean. Road trip back to LA and stopped for lunch at the South Central location. Order, wait for your number to be called. It's a little hard to hear your number called. The ladies who prep your food do it efficiently with quick, deft handiwork. Note: The red sauce is spicy hot! The menu is simple and straightforward, but there are a few authentic and interesting items like the Mole Tamales and the chicarrones (pork skins) tacos. I ordered the sopa and a few al pastor to go. The sopa can be messy to eat since its round and crunchy. You bite into it and the toppings spill out. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be back. Parking available. read more

So my coworkers really pumped this place. I absolutely love me some Spanish food. You might can tell from my previous reviews at different locations. I came here with high hopes and an open wallet and left with pure disappointment and would never come here again. My mom asked for nachos with extra cheese on the side. She wanted the nachos with meat and jalapenos. I ordered chicken tacos, a chicken burrito and Al pastor tacos. My mom had noticed that the carton that the nachos were in was quite heavy. Only to open it and find that it was flooded with cheese and hardly any toppings. There was not a dry chip on the plate. They seriously overdid it. The chicken tacos taste dry and the Al pastor tacos lacked taste. While they were fixing the orders (as you see on the receipt we were number 147) they were calling orders out in random number. One minute they were calling order number 136 and then the next minute 149 and then just when we thought we might be next they were calling order 134. This place in my opinion was chaotic and disorderly. I didn't enjoy my experience here. And they are too far for the food to be a huge disappointment. They can count on me to never return! read more

The worst tacos I've ever had. the asada tasted sour and not in a good way. I've had better tacos on the street. I had such high expectation, people have said it was good. The key word is "was" cause it's not good. My kid got nachos - they looked like a white person made them at some movie theater with some gross store bought chips, nacho cheese not regular, no tomato salsa or avocado. looked bad and tasted bad. NEVER AGAIN! read more

horrible service the cooks literally fight with you over hot sauce like if the owner gives the profit limit sauce . for giving 3 red sauces and 3 green ones for 3 orders fucken ridiculous first and last time read more

King Taco honestly this business has been around for a long time and I think thats it's history that carry's it thru because the meat on the taco ain't all that good as funny as this sounds it's the sauces that make the tacos good because you can't find sauces that taste like there sauces any where else and we all come here just for the convince and the lines are super long‍ a mean long so if your on your time this ain't the place but if you want to kill some time this is the right place read more

It is a must try if you're in an LA area they have the best tacos reasonably priced tacos are all a cart. I've heard their burritos are phenomenal. Their tamales are my favorite. I always get a dozen to go. They sell out pretty fast. They have a green chicken with your car to come by and read pork. They're hot sauce is a legendary plenty of space lots of seating, very fast service and it just it is a definite must go to. read more

The burrito was small not tasty and they only put one scoop of Asada & what kind of taco restaurant doesn't have lemon/lime. The cashier takin the order was very unfriendly and only spoke Spanish. Very unfriendly. In fact nobody speaks English and NO Customer service. No one smiles or greets you or says thank you. My first time time there and my last time. read more

I always come here with friends and the food is always good I just keep it simple with a bean and rice burrito with whole beans sooo fire. King taco always seem busy tho that's the only con but food is always good. Not to many people actually come here and sit down and eat mainly take out. Overall the place is decent I've been to better king tacos around the city but it's not terrible read more

Terrible experiencia pedí limones y me dijeron que no tenían como pueden vender tanto y ni siquiera tener limones para tener al cliente satisfecho con su compra. Aparte que son super codos con las servilletas te dan 1 miserable servilleta para 2 personas y con la salsa te la dan contada y si pides más de 1 te asen sus carotas y la verdura igual de codos le ponen una miseria. Prefiero 1000 veces comprar en lugares en la calle están mucho más buenos y no son codos con la verdura le pone uno lo que guste. Y el servicio te atienden de un humor que aleguas se ve que odian su trabajo. Y de bebida pedí una agua de piña que de agua de piña no tenía nada tenia un sabor exactamente igual al jugo de piña enlatado no son aguas frescas naturales No vuelvo a venir y no se lo recomendaría a ningún familiar oh amigo. read more

Holy smokes!!! Coming out of my ear!! Haha I seriously just had the best burrito I've ever tasted in South Central! Chunks of well seasoned beef, beans rice combined with a salsa that even dragons would love! Hail to the King..Taco!!! It was soooo gooood!! Their quesadillas are not to be outdone as well! Perfectly prepared, eat it while it's hot and see how that yummy cheese and the creamy guacamole just bring delight in your mouth! A perfect blend of a slight crunch and gooeyness with a wonderful touch of creaminess! What is King Taco without their AMAZING Tacos!!! This "almost" bite size carne asada packed tortillas are the perfect snack for those taco craving taste buds! If you are a spicy food lover such as myself, make sure to drizzle and lather these little babies with their"TDF" (to die for" salsa!! Whether be it a green or red - they both no less than delicious! I absolutely enjoyed my first King Taco visit!! It surely did not disappoint and I highly recommend when those Taco cravings come to haunt you!! Enjoy!!! P.S: don't forget to get their Horchata! it will sure help pacify and calm down those taste buds after getting a dose of their fiery delectable goodies! read more

I love King Taco for more than 15 years, just wish the employees didn't nickel & dime for salsas... We are all paying customers & salsa is a staple in any food... 3 tacos 1 salsa... what if you order 4 or 5 ? They charge for a second one... funny ! read more

I usually go to this King Taco place, but this time, it would be the last time I'm coming here. This new employee (African American) gave me a dirty look from the start. I ordered 6 tacos w/ onions on the side and Nacho Cheese (Cheese on the side). She had this look, "what the hell are you doing here" kind of look and she handed my food. I looked in side the bag and I realized that she forgot to put onion that i asked for on the side, and she didn't even put hot sauce, so I told her about it. She said "you have to pay!" I had to explain to the other nicer employee and she had to tell her to put them in the bag. I came to my office to eat, and as soon as I opened the foil, I could only see 5 tacos which I ordered 6....and tacos had too much oil that it was leaking all inside the bag. It was disgusting, and humiliating, and upsetting experience I ever had. I don't care about 1 taco they forgot, but how they treat customer lost one more good customer. I will never buy any King Taco in anywhere! By the way, I asked for Nacho Cheese, cheese on the side, but when she brought it at first, it was on the Nacho already, so I asked for the new one with the cheese on the side. When she brought it out, she was giving me attitude and slam it on the counter. read more

King Taco - tacos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very average carne asada burrito. Not much of anything in it. The taste was also average. Only 1 type of hot sause. Still felt hungary after eating the burrito. This place is setup to make the most money, even the napkins are cheap and hurt when wiping my delicate mouth. The loud speaker for calling out food orders is also annoying. Food trucks have better portions and quality of burrito in LA. This place is pre Yelp era just sitting pretty on tradition. read more
