    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

    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.

    Burrito!

    We waited a full hour for what turned out to be the saddest, most anemic little burrito I've ever seen. This thing was straight-up miniature -- like they accidentally rolled it for a toddler instead of a grown adult. I'm talking bite-sized, half-portion vibes that left my entire family staring at each other like "that's it?" The cooks are clearly on a mission to give us half the food we paid for. Tiny tortilla, skimpy fillings, zero satisfaction. For that price and that wait time, we expected a proper burrito, not this sad little snack that disappeared in four bites. Call it what it is: an anemic burrito. Do better. #AnemicBurrito

    Horrible!

    These guys take forever? I think I stood in line for a half an hour, and then waited another half an hour for the food to be ready. When they brought it out, one of the Sope shell was so hard I almost shattered my teeth. Everybody just wants to have a good experience when they have dinner otherwise dinner kind of gets ruined....

    Cheese

    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.

    Good takes a bit to be prepped, but as always is delicious. Definitely recommend coming earlier if you don't want a long wait. Place is clean and the juke box is a plus.

    I love the food. I always come early but today I came like around 11 at night and let me tell you the long lines and people were just cutting in line because they placed their orders through Phone. They should have a separate line for them not just cutting in front of us that we've been waiting for 40 minutes. But I love the food love the atmosphere. Customer service was OK.

    Super greasy
    L G.

    I ordered King Taco through Uber Eats and had an awful experience from start to finish. My order was wrong, the food I did get was extremely greasy, and when I called the restaurant to fix the issue, the customer service was unbelievable in the worst way. Instead of offering a refund or any reasonable solution, they told me I had to come in person. I explained that the whole reason I ordered online was because I couldn't go in. I even offered to provide photos of the incorrect, greasy order along with my receipt. But instead of helping, they insisted I bring the food back myself. When I told them the earliest I could get there was Monday (today is Friday), they told me to keep the burrito in the fridge and bring it in on Monday. Seriously? That's their idea of customer service? It was ridiculous, unprofessional, and completely unhelpful. I've never experienced a restaurant refusing to resolve an issue unless a customer physically returns days-old food. I will not be ordering from King Taco again, and I'm definitely warning others about how poorly they handle their mistakes.

    I walked in and there was instantly a lot of energy. Good music was playing but not too loud where…read morewe couldn't talk. I'm a bigger dude so the booth was a little small for me. We got sat immediately, I went to the bar and checked w the bartender and she was equipped to make my new drink, the "New York Sour!" I ordered the wings, the carne en su jugo for my food. The wings were like chili lime flavored, it wasn't bad but not for me. The chicken wings were cooked really well, it would be dope if they did like mole wings or maybe like a pepita lime dry rub, the wings were there, I just wish they had more flavor options. The carne en su jugo was very good, I love frijoles, I'm a frijolero for real and it hit all the right spots for me. I rolled my corn tortillas up and I felt like I was home again. THE WAITRESS THAT ATTENDED TO US WAS THE BEST WAITRESS I'VE HAD IN THE WHOLE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. I can't recall her name but she was just the best with service and recommendations. She had to step away for a few minutes and she handed us off to another waiter, but the crazy part??? She came back! She saw our meal out to the end and handled her business. When it was time to pay the bill she had everyone separated by seat numbers, so that process was really stress free. Exceptional service 100/10. I also really like the photographer in the restaurant deal. I usually have only seen that in the club but it works well at the restaurant too. My only wish is that they offered a digital sale of the photos. We took some cool photos with our work group but we HAD to buy the physical copy and because we fly, it's hard to store those kinds of things. Amazing job! Visit here if you're thinking about it.

First, there is a photographer who insisted taking pictures of us, two at a time, with poses she insisted we do. When we tell her no, she continues to push for us to do it. Then she develops the pictures and put them in picture frames in front of us asking us to buy them. I really don't appreciate being sold extra "services" at a restaurant. I came to have a meal with coworkers, not to be sold extra stuff so the restaurant can make some more money. And when we ordered extra food to-go separately (we had separate checks), the waiter put all our food in one bag and didn't tell us. These were two identical burritos, but they put one in a plastic to-go box, and the other only wrapped with paper. When we told them these were for separate orders, the waitress brought over a paper bag for me to separate out my burrito. It just doesn't make sense why two identical orders should be done differently.

Not terribly inventive Mexican given what's out there in DTLA or even OC but kudos for attempts at menu expansion! I do think the guacamole is really good, the mezcal offerings are awesome, the decor is upscale and Happy Hour pricing is worthwhile. I find this restaurant very loud however. Because of that, I booked outside seating on OpenTable for Cinco de Mayo for drinks at 6:30 for 4 of us. We arrived at 6:25. We were notified that they were running behind, but still were not seated at 7... we were told there was no outdoor seatings coming up in the near future but they could honor our reservation shortly at an indoor table... but unfortunately it was club-decibel live music for the holiday so we went elsewhere. I do feel that managing holiday crowds and reservations is a reasonable expectation for a restaurant of this caliber/ price point. Recommend as a local option only but with a few caveats, not my top choice.
