I came here for a late-night snack after a concert since it was one of the few spots open. The beef flautas were good and the green salsa on top had a nice level of spice. No complaints on the food itself. The experience was not the best. The inside feels a little bit like a maze. There's one counter to order, a separate one to pick up your food, and then another station where someone checks your receipt and gets your drink for you. It's not very intuitive if it's your first time there. On top of that, the wait was very long. It took about 25 minutes waiting in line to place the order and another 30 minutes to get the food. Overall, decent food but the setup and wait times could use some improvement. read more

King Taco - Beef Flautas - Mexican Near Me - Maywood, California

Their system to get access to the bathroom is primitive. They write the code for the bathroom for women only. They tell you the one for men. They gave it to me twice and twice was incorrect. Here are some suggestions if you don't want just anybody but customers to use your restrooms: 1) Write the number for your employees, all employees so they can provide it to any customer or 2) update your PO system so you can insert the password of the day on your receipt either at the beginning or at the end of it. read more

I ordered online and the time the food was supposed to be ready was an hour in advance and I arrived the location and the food was not ready. The worker named JOSE advised me that they don't make the food until you arrive here. Had to wait 20 min don't get the point of ordering online. read more

I had a bad experience at King Taco Maywood. I ordered a drink and waited at the pickup window. The employee gave my drink to the wrong person, and when I told her, she insisted she had already given it to me. I explained that it went to someone else, but instead of fixing the mistake, I was told I had to buy another drink. I spoke to the manager, and they did not resolve the issue--they just told me to purchase a new one. I visit this King Taco at least every other weekend because it's the only place I go to for a wet burrito. But after this experience, it's clear that my loyalty means nothing to this location. Very disappointing customer service. A simple mistake should have been corrected, not charged twice. I won't be coming back. read more

Was there for over 40 minutes. People in line behind us got their food ate and left while we're still waiting for our food to be made. My husband went to ask where is ours food. The lady told him it's not ready you just got here. My husband responded we have been here for 40 minutes, as my husband asked for a refund they stated it's almost done we need another 10minutes. The lead then came and told us just sit down you haven't been here that long. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE WE WENT DOWN THE STREET TO GET CHINESE FOOD OUT and in LESS THAN 10min and just as busy. read more

King Taco - Look at the line an your still going to wait 30 plus minutes for your food - Mexican Near Me - Maywood, California

Worst carne asada I've ever had. The horchata was way too sweet and made my stomach upset. Honestly, I don't get what the hype is about because there are way better tacos out there. The cashier seemed bothered, maybe because of the long line, but that still does not excuse the terrible service. Very disappointing experience overall, and I will not be coming back. read more

This review is biased because I love King taco. They have the best simple tacos. You don't need lime because their meat is already seasoned well. The red salsa is fire so ask for it on the side. There's usually long lines, but so worth it. I usually ask for tacos to eat there and take a bunch back to San Diego and reheat the next day. Make sure to ask for the sides on the side so it won't get mushy if you are reheating the next day like me. read more

I've been a lifelong KT fan for many years. Anyone who knows me knows my first experience was at the KT in East LA on 3rd Street where my now father-in-law tested me on how I could handle the red sauce and tacos at KT (I was dating my wife at the time and he was old school OG and wanted to make sure I could hang). Needless to say I passed (along with other "tests" he gave me) and, over 14 years later, I am still a fan of KT. However, I've never been to this location in Maywood. And I regret never having come here until now! Just imagine a KT with draft beer... Now imagine one that sells wet burritos. Now imagine one that sells moles... That sells asada fries... That sells taquitos... That sells pozole... Well you get the pic. KT isn't known for more than their tacos, burritos, quesadillas, sopes and the weekend rotisserie chicken. But this KT isn't your typical. They serve everything I just mentioned... And beer! Who doesn't love himself/herself a spicy taco with a cold beer to wash it down? I love wet burritos, so for my first time here, I got an al pastor wet burrito with green sauce. It was more tangy than I had anticipated, but still good. Next time, it'll be the red sauce... Or maybe the mole... Or maybe the taquitos... Or... Dang it, I've got to come back again. I can't decide... read more

This worker wearing a yellow hat and shirt was staring at me aggressively just because I looked at him to ask a question. He came up to me very aggressively and asked me I needed something g . I showed him my receipt and he said oh okay and just went back to that station . I was waiting for my sope and they were taking forever and I just happened to lock eyes with him and he came up kind of angrily aggressively. I don't know about this place . He was mildly intimidating. I thought he was walking up to me to help because I was a customer and had been waiting for what seemed like a long time , but it didn't feel like that at all . It was more of a what are you looking at vibe . I don't know what I did wrong tbh . And all the employees were looking at me like their boss is having a bad day . read more

I think this is the best place out of all the king tacos. Somehow, the meat tastes better and the service pretty good. But the part that makes it a lot better out of all of them Is that they sell beer. And you never go wrong with beer. So come down if you want some good tacos and good beer. read more

Food is always good here, but charging $2.40 for a single side of cheese is crazy!! Every other king taco in the area gives you 2 portion cups of cheese. That's ridiculous, especially when your customer base is working class AND in this economy? At least charge less if you're only gonna give one cup, damn. read more

King Taco - Mexican Near Me - Maywood, California

First time coming to this location, when we walked in it looked completely different to the other locations we have been. Dining area looks a better than other locations. The lines are like any other KT locations. But what I did notice that was different was the variety of plates they offer. We ordered the chilaquiles verdes, it comes with a piece of steak,side of beans and the chilaquiles. You can order eggs for additional cost. We ordered a wet all meat burrito. Also a side of fries. Waiting for the food was about 20-25mins. But the food for us was great! Everything came out hot and fresh we really enjoyed it. Overall experience was good, the only thing is they only had one cashier taking orders. I would definitely come back to try other plates they offer. read more

I hate to leave such a low review in one of my favorite taco chains but this location is dire need of a facelift. The whole location just seems like a jigsaw puzzle that needs putting together. Tables are holding on for dear life. One positive note of this location is possibilities with such large space. Also noticed it has a larger menu selection you won't find in the DTLA locations. Service is the same across the chains very limited customer service orientation. Hit and miss with every person. read more

It's been awhile since my husband and I visit this location but since we were on the area we stopped by for brunch. He loved his burrito and I really liked the chilaquiles verdes I asked for. The meat come out a little overcooked on my plate and I asked for the meat to be medium, but flavor was good. The agua de piña was delicious. Overall a good brunch, only downside was the overcooked meat, but still delicious. read more

Before I could even finish my sentence or take a breath cashier says "anything else?" I ordered 9 items so she said "anything else?" 9x. Lol... After the 5th time I was like DAMN B! LET ME FINISH! The menu seems endless.. Caldos, tortas, milanesas, chilequiles, wet burritos Thankfully they have online, plus Phone orders which is a total plus! You can take your sweet time ordering and browsing menú. The burritos were a Lil bit smaller than my regular location but it still hit the spot. Wait time was about 35 minutes. The torta was good despite the bad lettuce I pulled out. Wet burrito was ok!. Will I be back? only to try different items on the menu. For my OG King taco stuff I'll stick to my spots! Dine in was in full action. read more

King Taco - Horchata - Mexican Near Me - Maywood, California

Finally tried the mighty King Taco, it only took 49 minutes standing in line, and an elapsed time of 110-minutes to receive the food. That 3-stars is starting to make sense now, no? Can you believe that we ate twice in the same night, at adjacent restaurants? Just prior we were at Egg-n-Bird but we found the chicken strips to be bland, dry (except one undercooked one), and too crispy for enjoyment. We had purchased those separately from the gratuitous sandwiches for a Yelp Elite perk, however, only two out of four were eligible. Therefore, the decision to shift here was born of unfulfilled appetites and curiosity, especially since I'd never tried King Taco before. Inside we discovered that the line wound into the side frontal dining area and even as we slowly advanced, people kept coming in and it grew longer behind us. Eventually, 49-minutes later, I ordered (it helped to be bilingual) at the sole operating window, hence the long, slow line, then sat at the booth Dora claimed 45-minutes prior. 15-minutes or so later th8e food came up and wouldn't you know it, no napkins were supplied, so after wasting five more minutes trying to get the slow, low-energy lady pouring agua frescas to assist me (to no avail) the gf ran to the bathroom and secured a bunch of paper towels. One Sope with pollo and an order of shredded beef taquitos for me and three carne asada tacos for her. I found the food was better than it looks, especially the taquitos. The Sope takes a little maneuvering to get a grip on the edge but it was worth the effort. The chicken was moist and flavorful over and above the toppings and salsa verde. I loved the Mexican rice and beans but didn't eat much of either since we had eaten across the street. The gf found that the tacos were also very good and we also sampled the ultra hot salsa rioja. Food is 3.5-4.5/5 but if you're in a hurry, don't bother coming here. It's not clear either if ordering online would improve your odds. read more

Food is good but not worth the wait took an hour to get 2 burritos and 2 sopes. I don't know if they are under staffed or what

Great food but crappy servers/employees with terrible attitude always. Often do online ordering to avoid the large line to order. Apparently I was having issues ordering online as it indicated restaurant was offline. Called several times to have them check their system or computers and said it was perfectly fine immediately after I mentioned which made me doubt they had been checking. On my third call the server was rude and said ok try now and mysteriously it worked and order went through. I am sure the employees shut off the service to cut down the online orders which is a bummer.... Wet burrito and sopes are the best! read more

I am a huge fan of King taco so I've been to several different locations. Out of all the locations this Atlantic location gives me the worst experience everytime I go. Food is average but the waite is so long not because there are alot of people waiting, its because people makes burritos are either less experienced or just slow... compare to other locations. There were only 3-4 small orders ahead of me but it took me more than 30 minutes to get 3 burritos after I ordered. It was around 4pm. Only thing I like about this location is the bar. Looked clean and organized. read more
