    Why does it take so long for an order of 1 taco and a side. I orders at 4:56pm and it's now 5:13 and I haven't got my order. What's the hold up. Yes, 1 taco and a side because their tacos are mid, the green and red sauce is why I'm here. They got the best taco sauce in the game, I could eat it with numerous things at home.. it above only reason why I come back here. Service is horrible , customers haggling for sauce with their order is the reason why orders tae so long to come out. 20 min for 1 taco and a 6oz of green sauce to go.. food is alright, sauce is bomb, be prepared to wait .

    Ordered uber eats, got 2 asada nachos double meat. Ordered cabbage on the side and the pickled jalapeno/carrot/onion/cauliflower on the side. Sooo delicious. 2 sopes asada , the salsa verde was spicier than normal, they didn't forget to push cheese and cabbage on my sopes this time. Horchata and asada quesadilla. Service was quick around 2:30-3:00 pm.

    So we went to King Taco after the movies last night! The place wasn't too packed when we arrived and got to order right away. Ordered the all-meat Carne Asada burrito and it was solid! Will go back for more in the future.

    Suadero taco.

    Gave this place out a try as I am a regular to the Baldwin Park and the El Monte King Taco locations for decades. This place gives a lot of meat for the tacos and the green sauce. Staff clean the restaurant and tables regularly and they have more counters to serve people vs the smaller El Monte locations. My pick is the suadero burritos and soft tacos. And they always give a lot of white onions and cilantros to garnish with them!

    Always ready for a late night Taco run when it comes to King Taco they are the best. The lingua tacos are delicious served fresh and hot and they never disappoint.

    Carne asada nachos!!

    When you walk in to King Taco, with no line and they bless me, with my rendition of carne asada nachos.. SayLess.. Oooo weee!! Service was outstanding!!

    Capirotada
    Senia B.

    Today we ordered a burrito of carne asada with rice and beans. A sope de al pastor, 2 tacos of al pastor and capirotada. The tacos were excellent The sope was as hard as a rock The burrito was questionable there was almost pure rice and beans hardly any meat. The one that disappointed the most was the capirotada. It was not good at all flavor appearance

    You can clearly see a hair in this taco, not great service to a start

    This is not acceptable!!!! The taco had hair and I see why the place has a low review. This has to be taught throughout the staff that hair needs to be health codes in check. The food has always been a staple for my family and I feel disappointed that this bs happened. The food needs to be looked at before and see all hair is put away in a hairnet. NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL!!

    Al pastor Burrito All Meat

    King Taco downsize their burritos by a lot. I remember when they were much bigger. I had to hold it in two hands

    Cheese
    Bryon R.

    I had a horrible experience with King Taco through Uber Eats. I ordered two sopes with NO CHEESE, and the receipt clearly states NO CHEESE in all caps, yet they still added cheese anyway. When I called to address the issue, the manager Christina answered and immediately seemed irritated. Instead of taking responsibility, she kept hinting that it was Uber's fault--even though, again, the receipt from their kitchen clearly said no cheese. When I asked what could be done, she said they could remake the order only if I picked it up myself, and offered to throw in nachos for the inconvenience. Literally two seconds later, she took that back, abruptly said "bye," and hung up on me. Mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability, poor attitude, and hanging up on a customer is completely unacceptable. This experience was frustrating and disappointing, and I won't be ordering from this location again.

    Burrito!

    I thought that this was just a regular casual Mexican restaurant, but once we walked in, I realized…read moreit's more of a place you go to for special occasions. First of all, the decorations are amazing. The first thing that caught our eyes were the hanging lit up butterflies. They really make a statement. Next to them is a tree covered in Christmas lights, and next to that is a lit up aquarium looking thing. Even when I went to the restroom, I noticed that the cement floor had sparkly gold specks and something that looked like the Milky Way. As a vegetarian, I was so happy that the menu had leaf symbols so that I could quickly tell which items I could ask for without meat. The food came out fast. It felt like we had barely ordered them and the waitresses were suddenly coming out with them. The portions were huge, like my sister ordered the grande nachos and it really was grand. It looked like an appetizer that was meant to be shared with a group of people. The food tasted good. I enjoyed my meal so much that as big as it was, I devoured the majority of it and only stopped because I was too full. Towards the end, one of the employees asked if he could take away my plate and even though I knew he wasn't our waitress and it probably wasn't his job, I asked him for boxes instead. When our waitress came to our table to ask if I wanted boxes, the other employee at that moment handed us the boxes. I thought it was nice that the other employee did that for us even though he probably wasn't expected to. Overall, we had a great experience here.

It's a beautiful restaurant and food quality was great. But the menu truly needs to have transparency and accurate labeling.

The dining area is a very clean and comfortable. Once seated, an aji verde salsa and cancha was brought to the table. The cancha is a nice touch, the corn is crispy and light. I ordered the Pollo Saltado with an extra portion of rice and a Chicha Morada. The beverage was very refreshing. The meal came out quickly. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish. There was plenty of sauce from the stir fry for the extra portion of rice I ordered. I plan on ordering the Lomo Saltado next time. The staff were polite and efficient. Plenty of parking in their lot. Definitely on the list for the next time I am in the area.

Parking is very easy and ample. We walked into the restaurant and were greeted by their workers. There was a nice lady who seated the four of us towards the back. They had an AC machine blasting cold air in the back, and it was definitely needed on such a hot day. She was quick to give us waters, and after five minutes, she quickly came back to take our orders. Talk about efficient! She had also given us an appetizer to start our meal off: some nuts and a spicy green dip. It was a great start! We ordered the following: Yuca Fries - came out piping hot and crispy! They also paired it with a wonderful spice filled cheese dip. Platanos - also came out very hot with cripsy edges. Very sweet and ripe. Passion fruit Maracuya - tasted like passion fruit and was very refreshing! Tallarin Verde Con Lomo - The beef on top was to die for. It was juicy, savory, and tender. Absolutely fantastic! Their pesto and cheese on top of the pasta was fairly heavy. I was a bit disappointed with this dish. Tallarin Saltado De Pollo - Chicken was tender and well seasoned (though I preferred the beef). I actually liked the pasta on this dish more than the pesto - it was a bit salty, but kind of addicting to eat. You can taste the garlic and basil very well. Alfajores Box - I truly like these cookies more than the type of cookies I'd get at Porto's. These cookies are quite fragile, but absolutely fantastic. They're crumbly, sweet, and the center is perfection. For a box, you get 8 of them. Definitely worth the dime. My friends also ordered their seafood fried rice and another rice dish. I didn't taste theirs but I do have a photo! Their website states that this is the best Peruvian food in Ontario, and fortunately, I'd have to agree with them. When I come back, I'd definitely get their cookies and plantains again. Their Tallarin Saltado is also a must. Great atmosphere, clean restaurant, wonderful staff, and fantastic food!
