always love king taco. the flavor and taste is always consistent across all locations, but i do feel the shrinkflation here. the sope i had was not as packed with meat and cheese as usual. maybe it's about getting the right person to make your food which is simply a luck of the draw. green salsa here is to die for, but the red is dangerously spicy. can only handle a drop at a time. carne asada and pastor are too good here. they're just special at King Taco and i'm blessed to know it and love it out here in LA. classic read more

King Taco - carne asada sopes, pastor, tacos etc - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Service was just fine, food was edible. It's pricey for the low and cheap quality ingredients they use. It looks and operates like a prison yard. Forks and napkins not readily available, you have to walk back to the counter and ask staff. Ambiance is just sad, clean but prison yard like read more

I love KT and their food. I am quite disappointed with the service today. Everyone was very nice, polite, and prompt however, I ordered 6 Tamals and a Burrito to go. Tell me why I asked for 5 Red Sauces and they said they could only give me 3? I ordered 6 Tamals cmon... I don't think it's cool for them to deny me that being that I did order that much food. I felt I only asked for the appropriate portion sides to match the nature and portion I bought. I really love the red sauce on their food so this really did made me sad lol read more

King Taco - Grinchmas at KT - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not only is the line always so long order being delayed just because someone made an error sounds personal. I can assure you it is better to place it online then to have to wait over 35 minutes for someone to come out and attend service needs someone more professional that knows how to maneuver traffic keeping everyone on point read more

* The All-Meat Carne Asada Burrito was great - burrito was packed with a ton of juicy meat sprinkled with hints of lime * The Lengua Taco was delicious - the generous amount of lengua was very soft and the tortilla was hot and fresh * The Al Pastor Sope was amazing - the base was both fluffy yet crunchy, the al pastor was savory with a nice char, and the cheese helped round everything together * Overall, a great spot with friendly service and tasty food to grab a quick bite at, doubly-so for their spicy, refreshing salsa read more

King Taco - Beyond stale, couldn't even chew it. I'll stick to El Taurino next time. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the best taco chain restaurants in LA. They have multiple locations throughout LA but prefer coming to this location even though it's not the closest one to me. This place has plenty of parking spots as opposed to others so you don't have to struggle. This place tends to get busy during lunch and evening time so come here during non peak hours. You cannot go wrong order tacos, burritos and sopes. Also try one of their aguas frescas. read more

Got a BRC (Bean, rice and cheese). It was awful! It was not hot. The cheese didn't even melt. Not sure what happened to King Taco. It use to be so good. Maybe its the location? Won't be going back to this location. read more

You can never go wrong with king taco! Such a staple in Los Angeles! I always get the sopes and carne asada tacos but the burritos are also good! Pair anything you get with a horchata and you're good to go. If you haven't already, you need to check this spot out. read more

King Taco - Suadero and carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Might be overrated but that's just my opinion. Atleast the staff was very nice. So first we called to ask if they do take out, but they stated "no, you still come to the line and we'll make your order when you arrive but they'll take the order info over the phone." Basically take out already? The food "to go" was wrapped in aluminum. Dine in was served a paper plate. So very casual setting Minus 1 star because they didn't give any limes. That really makes the flavor pop out. There are like 7 sections and when they call your order you go to the section that called to pick up. They call out the number in English and say something else, which I assume may be the section you pick up from but I couldn't really understand because they use a PA system. Anyways we went up to 2 different sections trying to find our food. When we finally did, the cook asked which sauce and gave us green and red sauce to go. I personally like the red because it had a stronger spicy kick to it. As for the tacos itself, I got chicken, pork and steak. The steak was probably the best because the meat was seasoned a lot more. Then pork was good. Chicken was bland. We also got 2 tamales and would avoid that at all cost. It was so bland and unseasoned. Totally meh. I guess only saving grace was how cheap it was? read more

King Taco used to be our favorite spot to get Tacos de Asada. Sadly, things have gone downhill fast at this location as well as the Pico/Alvarado store. We purchased 22 tacos for nearly $54 and they have ALWAYS given us one salsa for every three tacos. Today, I should have received 7 salsas, but the lady only wanted to give me 6 salsas. I think it's ridiculous to spend this much money and they are so stingy. They also didn't offer any napkins, so I had to ask for them. The worst part is that we have noticed that the tacos are basically tasteless now. The asada used to be so flavorful and tasty, so it's very unfortunate that they have decided to cheap out on the quality of the meat and seasonings. To boot, they don't even fill the tacos up all the way with meat like they used to or chop the meat up into uniform pieces anymore. Sadly, I don't think we will be back to King Taco. What a shame. read more

Tien un pésimo servicio al cliente mala actitud y pobre calidad de servicio Estuve el día de hoy para cenar tacos y para empezar la persona que toma las órdenes no ofrece ni la más mínima amabilidad y en cuanto al personal que prepara los tacos Son demasiado lentos tal parece que no saben lo que están haciendo Y una persona quiero pensar que es el manages solo está detrás de ellos para mirar que le pongan poca carne a los tacos Mi experiencia de hoy fue horrible y no volvería a ese lugar jamás Me Dieron mis tacos pareciera que los pedí regalados no tenían ni siquiera la cantidad normal de carne y le dije al encargado que era muy poca carne y me contestó tajantemente es la medida que tenoa pero claramente tenía mucho menos de la medida que el mencionó mal servicio pésima comida y mala actitud el peor lugar para comer tacos en los Ángeles NO RECOMENDADO read more

What taco place doesn't provide lemon? This place. I enjoy my tacos with lemon and this place disappoints

Came here to see if it's still the same and it's not.. thankfully the carnitas and Al pastor tacos were good but the carne asada didn't taste like carne asada and the sope was way too crunchy and dry. My son had the half rotisserie chicken and he loved it, beans and rice that came with it were a little bland but dipping the chips into the beans made it taste better. The cheese quesadilla was good. read more

King Taco - Chicken sope carne asada taco - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very disappointed all due to the manager Rosa de la Rosa of this location. Bad service only because of her. The food is great but the manager not, all because she would not allow me to order my tacos with the meat separate from the tortilla. I have ordered my tacos this way before at several locations but she said it was her policy that she does not do that at this location. This is not acceptable, the tacos are made upon ordering, they are not premade and wrapped. Why would she not allow it? Because of "her" policy King Taco is getting a bad review. I went to the next nearest location and the manager understood and had no problem with the request. read more

I've always heard about King Taco & bummed there's none in OC. I used to work in the same building as the corporate office which made me even more curious to try. I was surprised to see this location has a good sized parking lot & it's decently clean for the area. The inside has millions of tables & very clean too. It was pretty busy when we arrived, & a long line. The food has to be good if it's busy & a long line. I'm really boring when it comes to Mexican food & I really only order tacos. I was surprised to see they have rotisserie chicken here. I ordered 4 carne asada tacos & my husband got an all meat burrito. We also got some nachos & a large horchata to share. I was slightly bummed that they don't do the whole grilled onions :(. The food came out relatively fast & my first impressions was that the tacos looked very plain & bland. Ha was I wrong ! My first bite was without the salsa & the meat was not at all dry & there was so much flavor ! I also tried the green salsa which was my fav - adds a nice kick. Recommend ! The horchata was so good too, it definetly wasn't too watery or too cinnamon-y either. Wish there was an OC location, because this would be at the top of my places for Mexican food. read more

This place has the best tacos in Los Angeles hands down. The wait is long sometimes but definitely worth it. I have only tried the carne asada tacos and burritos because I love the flavor of the meat so that's all I need. The red salsa is the best I wish I had a lifetime supply of it at home because it is so good and spicy like I like it. I definitely recommend this place just be patient but it's worth waiting in that long line for sure. read more

Great ......love there food and the salsas are on point but be very careful on the red because it on point...

One thing that I love about king taco is the food never changes up. They always have the same delicious flavors in the meat and salsas. Every location I've visited is always very clean inside and outside. The service is always good. I've never experienced anyone being rude. I ordered the carne asada burrito, it came with rice and beans inside. 10/10 Green salsa is my favorite 10/10 very spicy read more

king taco SOLID 3.5. This is no five-star dining and nor do I think they have the best tacos. However, there are days when you crave that grease and that spicy peppery red sauce that only they can make. Line can get super long, but they are quick with getting the line moving. Big parking lot, and its not valet so that a plus (free parking) And big dining area so you'll always have a place to sit. read more

They don't sell Flautas or chimichangas which are like the two most popular items at every other king taco? Kind of strange. Apparently they don't offer regular chicken tacos either. Cashier took 3 minutes to print my receipt so I could even collect my order. Definitely a weird experience. Not recommended. read more

1 star to the lack of acknowledgment when ordering and being a loyal customer Them listening and communicating back. I asked for 4 tacos instead she gave me 5. I even went back to let her know she act like she didn't want to give me my money back for her mistake. It's very big and usually empty on the weekdays but today it's busy and long line. I will be contacting the store manager. I asked for well done meat last visit meat wasn't well done. I just had enough of the non communication. Sucks I loved the food it could've been better. The employees don't look happy! They look upset that I am here asking for food. I asked for everything on the side for my tacos and nachos even asked for green sauce on top. I had to request to see my food when they usually call your number before wrapping it up he didn't. Im glad I checked to. It's giving attitude the inside is very dull and dry seats are hard to sit on for a long period of time. read more

The Godfather of authentic Mexican Taquerias, ranked #1 in the culinary universe. Asada tangy marinade unmatched. Al Pastor great seasoning. Cabeza excellent. Chicharrón in red sauce cest bomb. Their sauces mmm, Green is citrusy delicious with kick, Red is legendary beyond hot, only for the serious hardcore. Their beans and rice always on point. Taco, burrito, or sope options. They will always be the standard. Grateful to live nearby to one for last 28 years. read more

This King Taco location is always busy due to the location in Downtown Los Angeles and being close to LATTC (LA Trade Tech College) and the I-10 freeway even though there is another location down the street.
