King Taco, a renowned Mexican fast-food chain, originated in 1974 as a humble ice cream truck venture by Don Raúl and Doña Lupe. Positioned next to an East LA bar, their authentic tacos quickly gained popularity. Over the years, King Taco has grown to 22 locations, offering a diverse menu of traditional Mexican dishes.

One of the original establishments in Los Angeles, King Taco has received accolades from notable food critics for its quality fare. The unique painting by artist Ricardo Barragan captures the essence of King Taco's early days, showcasing the iconic marquee sign and the original 3rd street location where customers once enjoyed their orders on the hood of their cars.
