    a menu for a mexican restaurant
    Ray M.

    King Taco used to be my favorite place for tacos and burritos but I rarely visit this restaurant or location as it is ALWAYS crowded. The location itself is large and clean, their entire menu clearly posted, and there is no shortage of signage announcing new items. The huge negatives for me are the taste of the food and the portion sizes which both have gone down yet prices have definitely gone up since my last visit. I can deal with the tight parking and having my truck doors dinged, I can deal with long lines as this is a very popular location or the dude employees who hand out the food when you request any additional items such as a fork, extra napkins etc.. Some may love this spot but for me, I am ok with visiting once a year

    Holiday time Review: - if you're coming during the holidays, please note that they do close early at usually 3 PM. So don't be late because they will cut people off and won't be allowing orders anymore after they close the windows. They also RUN OUT of TAMALES during holidays so there's not much to order during holidays unless you planned ahead. - Staff is nice but my tacos are WAYYY slimmer in meat compared to King Taco in Bellflower which I had literally just gone to 2 hrs prior -- also prices here are actually more pricey than other locations. - Tip: don't stand near that overhead window vent while waiting bc you'll smell like taco / grill :)

    I get better nachos at 7/11

    I only give it 2 stars because the lady at the front was nice. The tinga sope was alright but i use to hear that this place was good. These nachos are probably the most disgusting ones ive ever had...the asada was gross. The chips were old and stale My dad tried to even eat them and he eats everythjng couldnt. I wouldnt come back here

    We stopped for some late night tacos after a Dodger game and unfortunately were disappointed. The food just wasn't good, we had tacos (lengua, al pastor, & chicharron), a sope, and nachos with asada. The asada was tough, chewy, and had no flavor, I just ate the chips with the cheese. All the others meats were just ok but not at King Taco standards, well at least not the King Taco I know. Maybe it was a bad night in the kitchen, hope it improves.

    Back again for Taco Tuesday and just as good as usual. Tried the tinga chicken menu special, very good

    The food is top notch authentic and really really reasonably priced. The service was very welcoming. If you're looking for some of the best tamales in LA it's a must stop.

    -Pina Grande Con Hielo $3.75 -Burro Asada Con Todo 8.59 -Taco Carnitas $2.19 -Taco Asada $2.19 -Sope Asada $4.65 -Taco Chicharron $2.19 You can't go wrong with King Taco. I pass by it all the time and I've really been craving it for awhile now. I finally had the opportunity to stop by and try out some delicious dishes. The Pina Grande Con Hielo is a very refreshing pineapple drink. I would recommend asking to try some samples of different drinks. They give you some generous samples of different drinks. I try the horchata and it was quite good, but I didn't want something that sweet. The Pineapple is also sweet, but in a different way. I asked for some recommendations in what to order and ended up ordering everything that was recommended to me. The Burro Asada Con Todo was delicious. It was great tasting burrito. Throw some of that green salsa on there and I couldn't stop dipping the burrito in that delectable green salsa. The red salsa was too spicy for my liking, but if you have a higher tolerance to spice then this salsa would be your salsa of choice. I ordered 3 tacos and they were all very good in their own right. The chicharron was different than anything that I had before. It was very fatty and flavorful. I also liked the Chicharron the best, but the Asada and Carnitas were also very good. I heard that Sope Asada was something to try as well. It was also very good. It reminded me of an English Muffin (pretty basic thing to say). It was loaded with Asada and giant clumps of cheese. I will definitely be back to King Taco and I would order every item again. Prepare to wait as the lines can get quite long, but they are quick and efficient. I was fortunate that I didn't have to wait very long when I went there.

    After a night out in the Downtown Arts District, we stopped by this King Taco on our way home. Luckily, the line was short, we waited about 10 minutes to order and got our food in around 15. The interior dining area was pretty empty, which was nice since we didn't feel rushed. We also noticed a stand outside with a vendor selling churros and funnel cake, nice little bonus if you've got a sweet tooth. As always, the food hit the spot. Perfect for a late-night craving, curing the munchies, or bouncing back from a night of drinks. King Taco never disappoints after a night out!

    I threw this all away it was too dry and bland. So sad I hate to waste food.

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!!

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.

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.
