    Don't come here hungry lol cause there is a long wait line to order & a long wait line to receive your food/ order but I think everyone knows that if you've been to a king taco in your life haha The food is good, there are a few things they could fix, the sope taco shells are a bit to hard, so I'm not sure if they are leaving them on the grill to long or not cooking them long enough. They need to be more soft so you can bite through them easily! Also the cashier lady who took our order Sunday was literally half listening, she was looking around like we were placing our order & of course something was wrong when we had already gotten home. Thankfully nothing was missing but my bf ordered an all meat burrito & it was stuffed with rice & beans so he was a little disappointed. Pina agua Fresca is good, I have had better tho! Salsas here are fire! The red is so good & soooo spicy so be careful! The green is delicious & good for everyday, any meal (: Wish the wait times weren't so long, gets a little draining to wait/ stand the whole time.

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Super greasy

    LONGEST WAIT EVER! Even with no line it takes at least 45 minutes to get your food. Ridiculous. Someone needs to check the workers!

    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.

    This is a Peruvian restaurant just down the street from the Kaiser Permanente Ontario. The…read morerestaurant is smaller but can accommodate larger groups. The dining area is a very clean and comfortable. Once seated, an aji verde salsa and cancha was brought to the table. The cancha is a nice touch, the corn is crispy and light. I ordered the Pollo Saltado with an extra portion of rice and a Chicha Morada. The beverage was very refreshing. The meal came out quickly. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish. There was plenty of sauce from the stir fry for the extra portion of rice I ordered. I plan on ordering the Lomo Saltado next time. The staff were polite and efficient. Plenty of parking in their lot. Definitely on the list for the next time I am in the area.

They give you corn nuts and a spicy sauce on the house. We tried the yuca fries which came with a cheese sauce and it was tasty. The ceviche had a perfect lime tang to it. I've only ever had Mexican ceviche so this one was different but delicious. There was sweet potato, red onion, corn and corn nuts. For the entrees, we tried the pesto pasta with beef. The pesto was a bit heavy but the beef was SOLID. So tender and flavorful especially if you drizzle the spicy sauce they give you at the start of the meal. The other dish we tried was the lomo saltado - beef with rice and fries. Also a very good option if you prefer rice/fries over pasta.
