King Taco, a beloved Mexican fast-food chain, traces its roots back to 1974 when it first operated from a converted ice cream truck. Founded by Don Raúl and Doña Lupe, King Taco quickly gained popularity next to an East LA bar. Over the years, it has grown to 22 locations, offering a diverse range of authentic Mexican dishes that have garnered praise from food critics.
Ricardo Barragan, a painter, immortalizes King Taco's early days through a striking artwork that captures the essence of the original marquee sign and the iconic 3rd street location. In the 80s, patrons would flock to the order-to-go spot, placing their orders at walk-up windows and savoring their tacos atop their car hoods. This nostalgic touch adds to the unique charm of King Taco's history.
