    Stopped by on Friday, 10/17/25. Surprisingly, I think this is my first time at King Taco! The line was pretty long as it there was a Dodger Game that day and people are lining up craving some post-game tacos! Ordered some tacos, burritos and tamales. Overall, this place is pretty affordable.

    Alpastor taco, big oh pice of fat

    Used to love coming to King Taco for lunch but now its always a disappointment on the quality . This is a taco de alpastor, big o pice of fat and no other meat.

    OG spot and delicious never nutritious tacos for the gut! Service is quick and they take online orders. Had a bunch of different tacos from my favorite pastor to asada and lengua. My favorite today was the chicken tinga. You literally have to put nothing on the taco and it is so bomb! It's like being home again Nice space with happening vibe but the only thing that let me down is now nasty the restrooms were ... my kids even said something about it and they are usually oblivious to that type of stuff. Please clean your restrooms better, I know it's just a taco shop but it really changes the vibe when everything appears to be so well kept in the dinning area and the restrooms are beat up. Thanks!

    Second in line when we get there, and still 32 mins we waited here for 2 quesadillas and a nacho which the lady gave 1 scoop of meat on the nachos, but the lady next to her gave the same amount for a sopas, like make it make sense. This place sucks. Like the food is ok but for 30+ mins and spending $30+ this was terrible service

    Some people hate it, and some people love it. I am one of those that do crave King taco at times and you can blame it on the salsa. The green and red salsa at king taco is so good. The price of food are a little pricier than your average street vendor but they do have some taste meat. My only wish is that the portions were a little biggger. Their tacos don't seem worth it at 2.50. I definitely like their quesadillas with meat and seems to be my go to every time i visit. Also, if you like nachos with liquid cheese, you can find that here too, and for a $1 more, get meat on it!

    Hello, This was my first time using your online ordering app, and I'd like to share my experience in hopes it can be improved. I was trying to order a side cup of meat, but there was no option to add it through the app. I called one of your locations to ask how to do this, and was told to add "extra meat" to my burrito order--that this would be understood as a request for the meat on the side. However, when I arrived to pick up my order, the burrito had extra meat inside, not on the side as requested. In addition, I had ordered a sope with everything except salsa, but what I received was incorrect missing topping. This was a frustrating experience, and I hope you can consider updating your app to include clearer customization options, especially for frequent side orders like a cup of meat.

    Parking is terrible, restaurant is clean and well organized Service was very good and efficient

    Iconic LA Hidden Gem Taco Spot My go to tacos here are the Al Pastor, Chicharron, Carnitas and Carne Asada tacos. The all meat burritos are good too if you get rice and beans you can really carb up here. They don't give you too much salsa it really depends how many tacos or burritos you get. Come with a big appetite to get those King's yummies in your tummy. The spicy salsa really is spicy enough like a caffeine boost. Green salsa is my favorite go. All salsas are delicious here it will make you feel like dancing like that spicy salsa. Don't forget to get that yummy Horchata or Jamaica drink too. The location feels a little ghetto. This is a good place to satisfy your cravings for tacos and burritos for cheap eats.

    Sope

    Damn! Got a Carne asada sope to go and my god it was so small. Should be called a sope jr. usually they are stacked high. I guess not anymore. I'll stick to the Pico Rivera location.

I appreciate the service and the attention that I give to the food. Unfortunately, their hours are limited and they do have a small parking lot, but I've always found a spot. I've only gotten in their food to go, but it always manages to hit a craving. They are pretty quick with their service and the workers are friendly. There is open seating, lots of chairs and tables, bright lights, and water available for guests , but I find most people that I've seen are grabbing to go. It's a quick spot and if you drive-by too fast, you might miss it, but I highly recommend.

I love that it comes with a full Serrano pepper on the side. The tortillas are handmade. I have also enjoyed their platillo especial which is 2 birria burritos with green salsa on top. It is fabulous. I also like that they offer Mexican drinks like Coke, Sprite, and orange Fanta. The service is always great here. They are super helpful and patient, whether it is in person or over the phone. The ambiance is so relaxed and clean. I have done both eating it there or taking it to go.

This is the kind…read moreof small business you feel good supporting--deeply rooted in tradition, made with care, and run with heart. Deborah, the owner, is incredible and truly passionate about sharing Oaxacan cuisine the right way. You can feel that intention in every dish. The guacamole is fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced--simple ingredients, done right. Their Oaxacan horchata deserves special recognition: lighter, more nuanced, and less cloying than the typical version, with a flavor profile that feels thoughtful and refreshing rather than overly sweet. This was also my first time trying chapulines, and it couldn't have been a better introduction. Knowing they're sourced directly from Oaxaca adds so much meaning to the experience. Earthy, savory, and surprisingly approachable--an authentic taste of regional tradition that you don't find easily. El Ruizenor Grill isn't just a restaurant--it's a cultural experience. If you appreciate food with history, integrity, and soul, this spot in Temple City is a must-visit. I'll absolutely be back.
