Eh
Britt C.

We didn't plan out our LA trip very well. We knew where we were going shopping but we didn't decide on food, so we ended up here at King Taco. So many great places to eat in LA, and we end up here. I can't say I would return, It just wasn't anything to write home about. For a meat burrito, three small tacos, and a large fountain drink, it was about $23. Not bad, just wish we'd enjoyed the food more. It always irritates me when you buy a fountain drink and then they want to charge you for refills. Can't say I would return. 10/21/25

Not as good as I remember! Sad sad sad or perhaps my taste. No se que pasa! Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered asada tacos. The meat was tough and simply not good! Not too too busy as around 11pm. Place is kept clean and there is plenty of seating. Very old school decor and nothing fancy.

2 sauce for 30$ of order , could not hook me up with one more, and made me pay $1 what a weirdo...

great food , GARBAGE SERVERS! Servers pick and choose who they want to give extra sauce free of charge. Had an 'Asian' customer asked for extra sauce, the server happily gave it to him and cracked a joke, I come next, asked for an extra one and I get a No and asked to pay $1. lol what a weirdo. Why would I line up in a long line just to buy a sauce when my food is ready? Paid the cashier, pretty sure went to the tip jar. Businesses risk their establishments for $1 for a lifetime of bad review. Still good food , thanks.

half rotisserie chicken! includes 2 corn tortillas, chips, beans, and a side of rice. only available friday thru sunday

My friend and I went to CicLAmini yesterday and much to her surprise, there was a King Taco on the route! This was our first time at this location and pretty much no complaints like the other one we usually go to. Fair prices, good tacos, clean restaurant. Pretty much sums up the location if you want to stop reading. King Taco offers rotisserie chicken from Friday to Sunday, so this was perfect for me since I'm staying away from carbs. I ordered a half size which came with a side of rice, beans, and 2 corn tortillas (the medium sized ones). Crispy flavorful skin, but extremely dry breast.. That's chicken breast no matter what though. I did take a small bite of rice just to try it and it was standard/good. Nothing special, nothing bad either. Beans were alright, but I'm not a big on beans. My friend ordered 4 tacos as well. She inhaled them, so I'm guessing they were good! I had a bite of some suadero and it was definitely tasty. Friendly staff, fast service. Like I said, no complaints! You really can't go wrong with the prices either.

No salsa in my cold, rubbery meat tacos.

Every time I come here, they always get my order wrong. I asked to add the salsa on my tacos because I cant stand old dry tortilla, but they didnt add the salsa again! Also, it takes forever to get your order because the employees keep talking and fooling around and the meat tastes cold, old and rubbery. It's really not worth the inflated prices.

Always a great and fast experience here! Elvira was so much help and assisted with signing up for the rewards program!

Asada Taco's best of the best. In this day and age when prices are slightly rising and everything is changing, the taste of the tacos is one of the best. The unique hot sauce taste and flavor are completely different from other tacos. Sope costs twice as much as tacos, but today it tasted and looked terrible and there was no cabbage. One of the places where it is very inconvenient to walk because the parking lot is very narrow. It's such a shame that it's almost impossible to go there due to parking problems. I really enjoy and like the lively appearance of the aunties who prepare food. I always want to come back here again... but...

Posting about their salsa policy because it's ridiculous one salsa is not enough for a big burrito this is half of it ! The food was fine but they are so stingy with their salsa ! They need to do better! And they don't put enough meat it's mainly rice and beans it used t he better but now their stingy with their meat and salsa

My favorite taco spot in k town that isn't a taco truck! One of the many things I love about King Taco is that it no matter which one you go to it feels familiar and delicious! This location does a great job of replicating all those good feelings. The ambiance and service is always top notch! Even when there are long lines, your order will come out relatively quickly. The food itself is amazing! I always get their nachos with chicken with tinga! I don't know what that means, just try it! It's delicious sauce stuff! Their steak and al pastor are legit good! The parking lot is the only negative, it's way too small for so many businesses. If you're lucky and patient you can find parking. It's with it though!

The "carne asada burrito with no beans" I purchased

I went Friday night to order 2 CARNE ASADA burritos & 2tacos and I expected to receive just that because that is the exact order I gave the young lady who helped me. Instead i received a vegetarian burrito with only RICE and EXTRA beans. The most ironic thing about the order is both of my burrito I expected to receive I asked for NO beans. And again like I said Instead I received a BEAN AND RICE BURRITO. What a waste of 40$. When you go somewhere and order food, you expect to get what you paid for. It's so unfortunate and unprofessional that you can't even get the simple things you ask for. Not sure if there was a language barrier but that's very frustrating. I love king taco so much. But after what happened tonight? I don't think I will ever go here again. Very distasteful service, very disappointing. Horrible customer service from staff as well.

i'm 5'3 and this is how small my burrito is. It's always the same employee too.

i love the food but the workers serve so little quantities. Only the og workers/longer workers put a normal amount of food.

How's the parking situation?

The parking lot is small for all the businesses in that plaza. So, parking is tight and horrible.

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The server was great, the food was delicious, and…read morethe atmosphere was amazing. However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

At that point, I even went looking for a manager or hostess and couldn't find anyone available. Eventually, we were given a new server, but she came across as extremely rude and inattentive. What upset me most was the overall lack of communication and attentiveness throughout the experience. It made what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day outing feel frustrating and disappointing. Sadly, this experience soured my impression enough that I don't see myself returning.

Went to Tu Madre and honestly... everything was SO good…read more I ordered the margarita flight, the asada burrito, a chicken taco, and the Korean BBQ taco and they did not disappoint. The margarita flight was super cute and actually strong lol every flavor was good. Perfect for trying different drinks instead of just picking one. The asada burrito was packed with meat and flavor. The steak was juicy, seasoned really well, and the portions were worth it. The chicken taco was simple but sooo good and flavorful, but the Korean BBQ taco??? Yeah that was my favorite. The mix of sweet and savory with the sauce was insane. The vibes were fun, the food came out fresh, and the staff was really nice. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again. 10/10

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several.

Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
