    Why does it take so long for an order of 1 taco and a side. I orders at 4:56pm and it's now 5:13 and I haven't got my order. What's the hold up. Yes, 1 taco and a side because their tacos are mid, the green and red sauce is why I'm here. They got the best taco sauce in the game, I could eat it with numerous things at home.. it above only reason why I come back here. Service is horrible , customers haggling for sauce with their order is the reason why orders tae so long to come out. 20 min for 1 taco and a 6oz of green sauce to go.. food is alright, sauce is bomb, be prepared to wait .

    Ordered uber eats, got 2 asada nachos double meat. Ordered cabbage on the side and the pickled jalapeno/carrot/onion/cauliflower on the side. Sooo delicious. 2 sopes asada , the salsa verde was spicier than normal, they didn't forget to push cheese and cabbage on my sopes this time. Horchata and asada quesadilla. Service was quick around 2:30-3:00 pm.

    So we went to King Taco after the movies last night! The place wasn't too packed when we arrived and got to order right away. Ordered the all-meat Carne Asada burrito and it was solid! Will go back for more in the future.

    Suadero taco.

    Gave this place out a try as I am a regular to the Baldwin Park and the El Monte King Taco locations for decades. This place gives a lot of meat for the tacos and the green sauce. Staff clean the restaurant and tables regularly and they have more counters to serve people vs the smaller El Monte locations. My pick is the suadero burritos and soft tacos. And they always give a lot of white onions and cilantros to garnish with them!

    Always ready for a late night Taco run when it comes to King Taco they are the best. The lingua tacos are delicious served fresh and hot and they never disappoint.

    Carne asada nachos!!

    When you walk in to King Taco, with no line and they bless me, with my rendition of carne asada nachos.. SayLess.. Oooo weee!! Service was outstanding!!

    Capirotada
    Senia B.

    Today we ordered a burrito of carne asada with rice and beans. A sope de al pastor, 2 tacos of al pastor and capirotada. The tacos were excellent The sope was as hard as a rock The burrito was questionable there was almost pure rice and beans hardly any meat. The one that disappointed the most was the capirotada. It was not good at all flavor appearance

    You can clearly see a hair in this taco, not great service to a start

    This is not acceptable!!!! The taco had hair and I see why the place has a low review. This has to be taught throughout the staff that hair needs to be health codes in check. The food has always been a staple for my family and I feel disappointed that this bs happened. The food needs to be looked at before and see all hair is put away in a hairnet. NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL!!

    Al pastor Burrito All Meat

    King Taco downsize their burritos by a lot. I remember when they were much bigger. I had to hold it in two hands

    Cheese
    Bryon R.

    I had a horrible experience with King Taco through Uber Eats. I ordered two sopes with NO CHEESE, and the receipt clearly states NO CHEESE in all caps, yet they still added cheese anyway. When I called to address the issue, the manager Christina answered and immediately seemed irritated. Instead of taking responsibility, she kept hinting that it was Uber's fault--even though, again, the receipt from their kitchen clearly said no cheese. When I asked what could be done, she said they could remake the order only if I picked it up myself, and offered to throw in nachos for the inconvenience. Literally two seconds later, she took that back, abruptly said "bye," and hung up on me. Mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability, poor attitude, and hanging up on a customer is completely unacceptable. This experience was frustrating and disappointing, and I won't be ordering from this location again.

    Burrito!

    I finally get to try this place. The taco is freshly made but not much flavor on the meat. Nice service and clean ambiance.

    I thought that this was just a regular casual Mexican restaurant, but once we walked in, I realized…read moreit's more of a place you go to for special occasions. First of all, the decorations are amazing. The first thing that caught our eyes were the hanging lit up butterflies. They really make a statement. Next to them is a tree covered in Christmas lights, and next to that is a lit up aquarium looking thing. Even when I went to the restroom, I noticed that the cement floor had sparkly gold specks and something that looked like the Milky Way. As a vegetarian, I was so happy that the menu had leaf symbols so that I could quickly tell which items I could ask for without meat. The food came out fast. It felt like we had barely ordered them and the waitresses were suddenly coming out with them. The portions were huge, like my sister ordered the grande nachos and it really was grand. It looked like an appetizer that was meant to be shared with a group of people. The food tasted good. I enjoyed my meal so much that as big as it was, I devoured the majority of it and only stopped because I was too full. Towards the end, one of the employees asked if he could take away my plate and even though I knew he wasn't our waitress and it probably wasn't his job, I asked him for boxes instead. When our waitress came to our table to ask if I wanted boxes, the other employee at that moment handed us the boxes. I thought it was nice that the other employee did that for us even though he probably wasn't expected to. Overall, we had a great experience here.

    If you are vegetarian, some of the vegetarian items marked on the menu are NOT vegetarian. I had to…read moreask and turns out the enchilada sauces, red rice, refried beans are not vegetarian. Not sure why it can be labeled that. Whole beans, white rice, Poblano sauce are. Always best to ask! I had a wonderful server that double checked for me and made sure I knew that when I shared I can't have meat product in anything. Thank you so much!! It's a beautiful restaurant and food quality was great. But the menu truly needs to have transparency and accurate labeling.

As a white guy, that's my cue to slowly back toward the door like I just heard a smoke alarm. I'm Happy to report Tacos El Juanito passes the test. This place feels legit in the best way: A friendly staff, a little chaotic energy, open late, slight line that moves fast. The kind of place where you can grab one of the tables inside, inhale your food in the car like a raccoon, or take it home and pretend you made it.Options. The menu is simple. I went with the al pastor, and it was excellent. The pork had that perfect balance -- juicy with crispy edges, seasoned beautifully, and just enough sweet pineapple to make it sing. The salsa is actually hot. They packed that burrito with more meat than a gym bro's meal prep Sunday. I genuinely paused mid-bite out of respect. Price felt totally reasonable for the portion and quality. If you're cruising by on the freeway or in the neighborhood and want well seasoned, authentic tacos, this is absolutely worth the stop. No red flags, just red salsa. And I'll be back.
